CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 71 ANGER_2

Chen Yin disdainfully tossed Ke Lian onto the back seat and then carefully placed Miao Miao in the indentation on the cushion. After roughly confirming that Miao Miao was not in serious trouble, he turned back to check on Du Xixi’s condition.

Miao Miao seemed to have merely fallen into a coma, but the situation with the more critical Du Xixi was far from just a simple coma.

Although Chen Yin wasn’t personally holding Du Xixi, he could still see that Du Xixi was trembling slightly, and even the tightly pressed lips and the beads of sweat on her forehead made both Chen Yin and Mo Ying extremely worried.

Fortunately, the speed of the Rob was fast enough, and the traffic system along the way was extremely "fortunate" for them; they didn’t encounter any obstructions. In just about two minutes, they arrived at the military hospital.

The military hospital, having received prior notice, had already dispatched a stretcher and doctors to wait at the door. Almost as soon as the Rob hovercar stopped, the stretcher was brought forward, and Mo Ying placed Du Xixi onto it.

As for Miao Miao, the military hospital also dispatched a specialized veterinarian for treatment. After all, she was currently in her original form, and finding a military doctor who treated people would be too odd.

Ke Lian, still unconscious, was temporarily left in the hovercar. When the crowd dispersed under the security maintenance of the military hospital, Chen Yin pulled him out with annoyance and unceremoniously landed two punches on his face.

Mo Ying had already accompanied the doctors to resuscitate Du Xixi and wasn’t present here.

Ke Lian groggily awoke under Chen Yin’s "attack." Looking at Chen Yin, his first reaction was not anger, but grabbing Chen Yin’s sleeve, he urgently asked, "Where’s Xixi? How is Xixi?"

"Ha!" Even Chen Yin didn’t know what was wrong with Ke Lian today. Usually so calm and self-possessed, today he couldn’t do anything right, and when faced with Du Xixi’s accident, he was uselessly unconscious.

Chen Yin grabbed Ke Lian by the collar, leaned in close, and coldly said, "Ke Lian, you promised me you would take good care of Xixi! Is this how you do it!"

Chen Yin didn’t care whether Ke Lian was innocent or not; he only knew that Ke Lian had promised him that no matter what happened, he would use his life to protect her.

But now? Both Du Xixi and Miao Miao were unconscious, and Du Xixi’s condition seemed quite serious. Ke Lian was brought back by his deputy and had been in a daze! How could Chen Yin possibly trust Du Xixi to him!

"I..."

Ke Lian didn’t know how to refute. He didn’t know things would turn out this way? He was also very worried about Du Xixi? Regarding Chen Yin’s questioning, he actually had no words to say.

Chen Yin didn’t know what was wrong with him today; Ke Lian didn’t know what was wrong with himself today either.

Clearly, in the Military Department, on the battlefield, he could strategize and command, even when he and Mo Feng were betrayed, surrounded by the Insect Clan, and on the brink of death, he could still rationally await death’s arrival.

But as soon as he thought of Du Xixi’s accident, that Du Xixi and the children might die, all composure and self-restraint were thrown out; Ke Lian didn’t care anymore. He stood just now in the ruins, now in the military hospital, his mind truly blank.

He only wished that nothing would happen to Du Xixi. That Du Xixi would be okay.

Chen Yin saw through what Ke Lian was thinking at a glance. He ground his molars, gently released Ke Lian’s collar, and said coldly, "Ke Lian, the first lesson when you entered the military academy, what did your instructor teach you?"

"Calmness! Rationality! Perseverance!" Ke Lian replied without hesitation to Chen Yin. These six words were the motto for his years of military campaigning, taught to round after round of his subordinates, leading them to defeat one Insect Clan after another.

"Do you know what my father, the Emperor, taught me first?" Seeing Ke Lian looking at him in silence, Chen Yin continued, "It was ruthlessness!"

"Ruthlessness to oneself, ruthlessness to others, ruthlessness in governing the Empire, ruthlessness in the interstellar universe. When young, I never understood him, but..." Chen Yin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Father was actually right. Ruthlessness is fairness. Only when I handle various affairs with absolute ruthlessness can I ensure absolute fairness."

Ke Lian disagreed, frowning, not believing that the former late Majesty was correct: "In this world, there is no absolute ruthlessness and absolute fairness."

"But as long as I can achieve it, they exist." Chen Yin lowered his eyes, the smile still so mocking, "Ke Lian, I hope you have feelings for Xixi, but I wish, when facing Xixi’s accidents, you could be a bit ruthless."
