However, Lord Marshal, who dealt with a lot of problems every day, didn’t think it was unreasonable, and calmly responded, “I see.”

“Good. I’ve stayed here for two days, and I have to go back,” Yu Tong stretched out her waist lazily, and said with a smile, “Xiao Bao, don’t bully Xiao Ji while your mother is away ah.”

Qi Qing decided to bypass this critical juncture. “…I will send you back.”

He lifted the medicine box and quietly said, “Dan Dan, watch your Mama. Have him lie down and continue to rest. I will be back in half an hour.”

The little robot who pretend to be a toy lying on Ji Xingjue’s lap, immediately got up and saluted, “Okay, Papa!”

Ji Xingjue moved his body up and pressed

the little robot’s ears depressedly. After the pair of mother and son left, the air in the room became cold again.

He turned his head and found that his terminal that had been seized by the Ministry of Security had been taken back and placed on the bedside. He stretched out his hand and pulled the terminal over, put it back on his wrist, and turned it on again.

The little robot dutifully reminded him, “Mama, Papa asked you to continue to rest.”

Ji Xingjue took a look at him, and a flash of light appeared within his eyes. While opening the news interface, he slowly coaxed, “Dan Dan, this smart chip of this terminal is the latest research and developed chip, which processes information quickly, has complete functions, and is highly intelligent. Do you want to be as powerful as it is?”

The little robot’s eyes shone, full of yearning. “Want!”

Then he shook his head again. “But Papa said that after changing the chip, Dan Dan will not be Dan Dan anymore. Dan Dan wants to be himself and stay with Papa and Mama.”

Ji Xingjue calmly moved and touched its head, with a gentle smile on his lips. “Okay, then don’t change it.”

In just two days, the rumors on the Imperial Star network had changed several times, from the chaotic “Ankara University Professor Murder Case” to “Marshal Assassination”. At the same time, there was also a “VANTECH High-level Meeting” video.

The mysterious hacker who broke through the VANTECH’s firewall had thrown the existence of the Holy Order into the public eye.

Ji Xingjue glanced at the news, which was almost as he expected, and then opened the information interface.

Recently, his life had been quite colorful and rich with all the messages coming in filling his terminal. The latest messages were all about asking him how he was doing. It was probably the result of the great achievement of him saving the Marshal’s life in the Security Department which couldn’t be kept secret from the public of the Empire.

Ji Xingjue touched the interface a few times, and all those who he was not familiar with were ignored. The group of acquaintances he barely knew would receive a smiley face, and finally it was Song Mei and Cecilie. He specifically replied: just woke up, not dead yet.

The next moment, the video coming from those two people jumped to the terminal.

He connected to the video, leaned against the bed, and waved his hand at them lazily. “Good evening to you both.”

Ji Xingjue’s face looked bad but it wasn’t as bad as the rumor had it that he was having only one breath left to live. Song Mei was relieved when he saw him. “Ancestor, you are finally showing up. That brat Qi Qing had people guarding outside the Marshal’s Mansion and no one was allowed to enter. Me and Cecilie were going to dig a tunnel to get in to confirm that your safety is at stake.”

“The bottom of the Marshal’s Mansion lies in a metal structure. It’s more reliable for you two to fly in with wings.” Ji Xingjue raised his eyebrows and teased, “Why, I haven’t seen you for two days, and you two miss me that much?”

Cecilie cracked the melon seeds between her teeth and said coldly, “Miss ah, there is a story spreading in the great streets and small alleys roaming everywhere in the city, that you are in love with Marshal Qi. In order to protect him, you went flying to block the bomb. We are also quite curious.”

Song Mei echoed and continued, “It is also rumored that Marshal Qi is being mingled in a love-hate relationship with you, he hates you but still loves you and will save you even if you offend the second prince. It is really touching ahhh!”

Ji Xingjue: “…..”

What shit rumors.

For a moment, the strength of his hand grew heavier and squeezed the bunny ears. After being stared at by Dan Dan aggrievedly, he quickly touched them to show comfort, and asked carefully, “Do you know what’s going on with Cathy?”

“Cathy?” Cecilie’s melon seeds cracking sound still continued, “What’s wrong with her?”

“That girl has taken my class. She took leave a few days ago and was not in school recently.” Song Mei looked itchy, and leaned close to Cecilie, wanting to shovel a large amount of it carelessly. The latter gave him a cold look, and sent him back angrily.

Later, Cecilie tilted her legs, divided a handful of them to him, and continued to nibble on melon seeds and asked, “Is she involved in your case?”

It seems like Qi Qing suppressed the news.
