Chapter 119 Lord Chengchu is missing
Arungus bombarded Cheng Chu with a barrage of evidence and motives for Mikel's misdeeds, leaving Cheng Chu in a state of utter confusion.
He doesn't like you at all...
He doesn't like you...
Arungus's last words echoed in Cheng Chu's ears like a curse.
Cheng Chu was stunned, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His eyes widened and his pupils trembled uncontrollably.
My heart felt like it was being gripped by a giant hand, and my breathing became rapid. My voice was hoarse and strained, as if stuck in my throat: "No...it can't be, it can't be..."
How could Mikel not like him?
Did Mikel ever say she liked him?
Cheng Chu desperately tried to recall every moment he had shared with Mikel, from how Mikel saved him to their accidental marriage, the matter of their mental strength levels, and then the appearance of the insect egg.
They get along so well, is it all fake?
Did Mikel ever say she liked him?
In fact, looking back, Mikel never said she liked him.
Cheng Chu couldn't recall Mikel ever saying he liked her; it all seemed like he was just imagining things.
Seeing Cheng Chu so distressed, Arungus couldn't bear it and said, "Lord Cheng Chu, please don't be sad. Mikel deceived you; he's ungrateful. He doesn't like you, but plenty of female insects do. I..."
"Uh—" Arungus's neck was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand, and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.
His feet gradually left the ground, his head pressed against the top of the aircraft, his legs kicking wildly in the air, a suffocating fear rising from the depths of his heart. Arungus's face instantly turned deathly pale, his green pupils bulging slightly, revealing deep terror.
He frantically clawed at his neck with both hands, but couldn't find anything binding it. He could only manage to squeeze out, "Cheng...Chengchu...Ge..."
Cheng Chu's eyes were red-rimmed, her lips were tightly pursed, and her expression was silent and sorrowful.
The S-class male insect's mental power raged inside the spacecraft, and Arungus experienced for the first time the terrifying destructive power of the S-class male insect's mental power.
His breathing became suffocated, and Arungus's face turned bright red. In this life-or-death moment, Arungus disregarded the distinction between male and female insects and instinctively released his wings.
"Bang!"
The hard wings slammed against the inner wall of the aircraft, making a loud noise.
The autopilot aircraft visibly swayed on the open road, deviating from its original trajectory.
In the confined space, the female insect's more than three-meter-long wings could not be fully extended. Arungus controlled the wings to flap in the direction of the nascent stage, his movements quick and swift.
"Snapped!"
The powerful mental energy of the S-class male insect steadily withstood the attack from Arungus's wings. Cheng Chu's dark eyes narrowed as his gaze fell upon Arungus's suffocating, dying face. His heart tightened, and his wandering rationality finally returned. The tentacles formed from his mental energy retracted.
"Cough cough cough..." Arungus fell from mid-air, his body limp as he slumped onto the driver's seat, coughing incessantly.
Unaware of what was happening, the drooping wings behind him pressed down on the steering wheel on the control panel and swerved sharply.
"Warning! Warning!—" A piercing alarm sounded.
The aircraft made a sharp 90-degree turn, and Cheng Chu was caught off guard and thrown into the other seat.
Arungus slammed the entire insect onto the control panel, screaming, "Ah!"
The next second, with a loud "bang!", the aircraft crashed straight into a large rock more than 200 meters away from the road.
Cheng Chu managed to steady himself by clinging tightly to the interior of the aircraft with countless tentacles formed from his mental energy. After a moment of dizziness, he was basically unharmed.
Arungus was in a much worse situation. He hadn't even recovered from being choked by Cheng Chu. When the aircraft went out of control, he didn't have time to grab anything. His body was thrown up by inertia, and his head slammed straight into the control panel, knocking him unconscious.
The aircraft door was deformed after the violent impact, with the front end severely dented. Cheng Chu struggled with all his might to pry open the rear porthole and climb out.
The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, gloomy and frightening, with a strong wind blowing, as if a storm was about to break out at any moment.
"Cheng...Cheng...Chu, Your Excellency..."
A faint voice came from the dilapidated and deformed aircraft; he had woken up when Cheng Chu jumped out.
"Cheng Chu... Your Excellency, save me..."
A large bump swelled on Arungus's forehead, and his wings drooped and folded in a twisted position, rendering him immobile. He felt dizzy and his throat burned.
Cheng Chu paused, turning around to look back. His dark eyes held a strange expression; he took a deep breath and walked back.
He leaned his upper body through the porthole and hooked his long arm around a personal terminal that had been tossed into the corner. Cheng Chu confirmed that the terminal was still functional before tossing it to Arungus, saying, "Here, your personal terminal. Go find the bugs to save you."
After saying that, Cheng Chu turned and ran, his frantic running around making it seem as if a ghost was chasing him.
Before long, the rain that had been brewing in the sky finally fell, large drops hitting the metal hull of the aircraft with a dull thud.
…………
The rain was pouring down, and the staff of the Male Insect Protection Association searched the entire Jiuxingye villa complex but could not find Cheng Chu. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.
President Kasri and Laurie rushed to the gatehouse to explain the situation. After checking the entry and exit records and surveillance footage, they found a maintenance worker with suspicious behavior.
By the time they found the dilapidated aircraft using the roadside surveillance footage, Professor Onnani had also arrived at the scene.
Inside the mangled aircraft, only the severely injured Arungus was found; Cheng Chu was nowhere to be seen.
This discovery left the male insect protection association members present with nothing but disappointment.
"Professor, Cheng Chu... Your Excellency, he's gone..." Arungus managed to finish the sentence, pointed in a direction, and then lost consciousness.
It's raining heavily in this desolate wilderness, and it's getting dark soon. Lord Chengchu is all alone outside. If he encounters some kind of star beast, things will be terrible.
Looking at the incessant rain outside, Kasili decisively ordered, "Laurence, take a few female insects to the military headquarters. On the way, keep an eye out for any trace of Lord Cheng Chu. Search the area around the military headquarters, and if that doesn't work, go find Mikel and see if he knows where Lord Cheng Chu is."
After searching for so long without success, and then losing track of the clues just as they finally appeared, Laureen's limbs were starting to feel weak. His mind was a jumbled mess, incapable of thinking clearly, and he could only blindly obey Caesar's orders: "Yes...yes, Chairman."
Arungus's wings were too badly injured, and he had already passed out. However, since he had taken an S-class male insect out without permission and caused such a big accident, the Male Insect Protection Association would not let him off easily.
Finally, Professor Onnani brought up Arungus's status as the male father, which prevented him from being taken back directly by the Male Insect Protection Association. Instead, Professor Onnani sent him to the nearest hospital for treatment.
President Kasili, along with the remaining working insects, braved the heavy rain to search for traces of male insects in this remote place.
He only hoped to find Mr. Cheng Chu as soon as possible before alarming the Male Insect Protection Committee.
If anything happens to Lord Chengchu, all of them will be implicated.
