Chapter 469 Lin Shiqing, the Spectator
What do you mean he didn't appease her?
Jiang Ci was speechless for a moment after Zhuo Juntao's words.

However, at that moment, his vision suddenly blurred, and Bai Mianmian appeared, asking him with a serious expression, "Can we go back to heal our injuries now?"

Jiang Ci: "..."

So, her rampage just now was really because of him?!

At this moment, the continuous explosions all around were reduced to faint echoes.

The closest and still-alive Zerg, whether the mantis Zerg in mid-air or the mantis Zerg on the ground, were at least a hundred meters away from them.

Seeing that Jiang Ci didn't move, Bai Mianmian frowned slightly.

Doesn't he want to go back to treat his injuries?
Seeing her frown, Jiang Ci snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Okay, let's go back now."

That slightly anxious tone was something he had never used before in his life.

Bai Mianmian paused for a moment, then relaxed her slightly furrowed brows.

If Jiang Ci had been any slower in agreeing, the idea that had just popped into her head would have been put into action.

Knock him out and take him back.

With her abilities, there's a 90% chance she'll succeed.

At that moment, Zhuo Juntao's voice rang in Jiang Ci's ears, "Boss, take a look..."

"Arrange for the teams to take turns going back to rest," Jiang Ci interrupted him in a slightly deep voice.

So he's got a mouth, huh!
"...Yes." Zhuo Juntao replied stiffly, the words stuck in his throat.

He's the boss, so what he says goes.

The wormhole is now closed, and most of the high-level Zerg that appeared have been killed. Although there are still many low-level Zerg left, they can no longer cause much damage.

Therefore, it's not a big problem for Jiang Ci to go back and treat his injuries at this time.

When the two were about to return, some teams from the Second Legion were also arranged to go back for rest and reorganization, and another team went back with Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci.

However, seeing the unusual silence between their leader and sister-in-law, the other team members greeted them and then went ahead to kill the Zerg and clear a path.

The team members said: We love killing insects, and we love paving the way for our leader and his wife.

As a result, they visibly increased the distance between themselves and Bai Mianmian and her companion.

Seeing Bai Mianmian remain silent the whole way, Jiang Ci turned his head several times, looking at her with a hesitant expression.

He wanted her to stop being angry with him, but he didn't know what had made her angry.
So how should he put it?

What if I say something wrong and make her even angrier?
Jiang Ci, who was conflicted, still hadn't figured out how to talk to Bai Mianmian after returning to the Second Legion's base.

Bai Mianmian, who was only thinking about getting back quickly, ignored Jiang Ci's occasional glances at her. Her attention was focused on the insectoid creatures not far from her.

Before the Zerg could get any closer, they were either killed by a counterattack from the team in front or by Jiang Ci's flying ice needles.

She had absolutely no chance to make another move.

Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci went into the Second Legion's medical department together.

Upon seeing the two enter, Lin Shiqing immediately stood up, his gaze quickly sweeping over them before finally settling on Bai Mianmian.

"Where is your sister-in-law injured? There's an empty medical pod over there that you can use." Lin Shiqing said, and quickly walked towards the medical pod.

Although it can be seen from the combat suits worn by the two that Jiang Ci is the one who is injured.

But who says that injuries are only external wounds?

Generally, the most serious injuries are internal injuries that cannot be seen.

Besides, my sister-in-law doesn't usually come to the medical department unless something's wrong. Her appearance now means she must be injured. As for my eldest son's injury, it doesn't look serious at all. He can just drink a healing potion and get a bandage applied somewhere nearby.

“It wasn’t me.” Bai Mianmian glanced at Jiang Ci.

“It’s me.” Jiang Ci immediately withdrew his gaze from her and strode towards Lin Shiqing under her gaze.

"..." Lin Shiqing, who was rapidly adjusting the data in the medical pod, paused upon hearing this, and then looked at Jiang Ci with suspicion.

The wounds that are visible to the naked eye are not very deep.

The injury was just as he had predicted; all he needed to do was drink a healing potion and bandage the wound properly, and there wouldn't be any problem. He wouldn't even need a medical pod.

Jiang Ci strode over to Lin Shiqing's side, turned his back to Bai Mianmian, and stretched out his left hand, exposing the wound on his forearm that had been pierced by an icicle to his eyes.

Lin Shiqing's pupils contracted slightly for a moment, because as Jiang Ci turned his forearm over, he saw that there was still an icicle sticking out of it.

Seeing that Lin Shiqing had seen the wound, Jiang Ci slightly turned his forearm, revealing only the wound that Bai Mianmian had seen earlier.

He then turned to Bai Mianmian, who had come to his side, and said, "My injury will heal soon. Mianmian, are you hungry? Would you like to go get something to eat?"

The icicles in her forearm need to be surgically removed, so it's best not to let her see such a bloody scene.

Lin Shiqing glanced at Jiang Ci, who had a calm expression, and then smiled at Bai Mianmian, saying, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry. Boss's injuries are minor and he'll be fine soon."

Once that icicle is removed, there shouldn't be a big problem, so he wasn't lying to his sister-in-law.

Bai Mianmian glanced at the two of them, then crossed her arms, glared at Jiang Ci, and said, "Do you think I'm that stupid?"

Trying to get her out of here? No way!
Normally, she's happy to pretend she doesn't know certain things when nothing's wrong, but now that someone's injured, do you still think you can fool her?

He did indeed have injuries she was unaware of, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to let her leave at this time.

Lin Shiqing paused when he saw Bai Mianmian, who was no longer as gentle as before.

It seems that what people in the group chat said about the boss making his wife angry today is true.

Given the current situation, it seems that nothing he, as an outsider, can say will be inappropriate, so he should remain silent for now.

Thinking this, Lin Shiqing noticed that Bai Mianmian wasn't looking at him, so he immediately turned his gaze to Jiang Ci.

The amusement in his eyes was almost undisguised.

Tsk tsk tsk~ Look at the boss now...

Wow, that's really something...

Lin Shiqing secretly gloated while shaking his head inwardly.

This is truly something I've never seen before, it's just a pity I couldn't take a picture.

Thinking this, Lin Shiqing glanced at the surveillance camera here, wondering if he could make a copy later.

"Mianmian, I..." Seeing that Bai Mianmian was even angrier than before, Jiang Ci opened his mouth to explain.

"Don't try to get rid of me, quickly treat your wounds." Bai Mianmian said the first sentence to Jiang Ci, and the second sentence to Lin Shiqing.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I'll treat the boss's wound right now." Lin Shiqing immediately stood at attention and looked straight at her.

He then turned around and took out his surgical tools without even glancing at Jiang Ci.

While quickly gathering the tools they would need, Lin Shiqing didn't forget to tell Jiang Ci, "Boss, hurry up and lie down in the medical pod."

Hurry up and finish, get out of here quickly, my sister-in-law's gaze is really hurting!

Jiang Ci glanced at Bai Mianmian, who still had a sullen face, and could only shut up and obediently lie down in the medical pod.
