The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

After hearing Gu Heng's words, the medical enthusiasts all fell silent.

Because they all knew that General Heemis had been taken to prison while the male insects were asleep.

The doctors looked at each other, their expressions a jumbled mess, clearly unsure how to tell the male insect all this.

Their eyes looked guilty and extremely unnatural. Gu Heng took in all of this and a bad sixth sense immediately welled up in his heart.

Suddenly, he recalled a voice he had vaguely heard during his earlier dazed state.

Tell him that Heamis was in danger and had been taken to prison...

The insect's emotions were so intense that Gu Heng felt it was something that was truly happening.

Gu Heng was so moved by the voice's owner's emotions that he had only one thought in his mind: to open his eyes immediately and check if Hemiris was alright.

So, the first thing he did after waking up was to ask where Heamis was.

Gu Heng wanted to confirm his safety.

These past few days, Gu Heng has felt like a caged beast, as if he were bound by countless strong threads, unable to escape completely.

Whenever he heard Heamis's call and tried to open his eyes, an invisible force suppressed him, preventing him from opening his eyes and waking up.

The silence in the air was terrifying.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Heng felt something was wrong. Had Heemis really met with some misfortune?

Gu Heng patiently asked again.

A doctor finally spoke up, "Your Majesty, the General is currently in prison."

What?

Gu Heng's eyebrows were almost furrowed together.

So the voice was telling the truth; Gu Heng hadn't misheard!

But why was Heamis there?

Gu Heng pressed for more details.

After a while, he finally learned the whole story.

It was that damned Andrew again! He ordered the bugs to tamper with Gu Heng's aircraft, and now not only has he not received the punishment he deserves, but he has also captured Heamis.

And all of this is because of his status as a male insect.

Gu Heng cursed under his breath, "Damn it."

These guys took advantage of the time he was unconscious to bully and trample on Heemis at will.

The doctor originally said that he had just woken up and needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a while longer.

But upon learning that Heamis was still in prison, Gu Heng had no interest in that matter anymore.

Ignoring the doctor's advice, he stormed out of the door.

Gu Heng just wanted to see Hemires as soon as possible.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Heng waved down a flying vehicle and rushed to the so-called prison almost without stopping.

Standing beneath the towering building, Gu Heng appeared incredibly small, like an insect.

The prison's layout was too neat and compact, making it feel dark and oppressive, suffocating the insects.

As Gu Heng drew closer, his heart grew heavier.

He couldn't believe that Hermes, an insect, had stayed here for so long.

The moment the prison guards saw the insect approaching, they used their batons to stop it.

"Stop right there, what are you doing?"

Gu Heng said, "I'm here to see General Hermes."

Upon hearing the name the insect mentioned, the guard frowned almost instantly.

He decisively shooed away the insects, saying, "The general has restricted visits; please leave."

Gu Heng frowned. No prison visits allowed? What does that mean?

His keen intuition told him that there were many suspicious points here, as if it was done by insects on purpose. Almost instantly, he thought of Andrew.

All that is happening now tells Gu Heng that Andrew is a narrow-minded wretch.

What if he does something even worse?

Gu Heng was extremely anxious. Given Andrew's unruly nature, the more Gu Heng thought about these guesses, the more likely they seemed.

He can't care about that anymore.

Gu Heng took a step forward, intending to force his way in.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

The insects tried to stop him, waving their batons, but Gu Heng skillfully dodged them all.

Immediately, he released his mental power to tightly bind the arms and legs of the two guards, preventing them from moving forward even an inch.

Gu Heng spotted a key hanging behind a female insect. Without batting an eye, he took it and strode into the prison gate.

The two guards exchanged a glance, looking at each other's foolishness, and then anxiously looked at the backs of the figures that had already walked far away inside the gate.

"Damn it, he's a male."

"How did a male insect end up here?"

"How should I know? But we must report to our superiors immediately!"

After Gu Heng released his mental energy, the guard suddenly realized that the insect was a male.

The mental strength of male insects differs greatly from that of female insects, making them easy to distinguish.

Furthermore, it may be a result of historical evolution, but the male insect's mental power is naturally designed to subdue the female insect.

Therefore, they couldn't stop Gu Heng at all, and powerless to break free from this mental restraint, they could only watch helplessly as the male insect swaggered in.

Before coming, Gu Heng made two preparations. He asked Heamis's adjutant, Rett, for the cell number of the prison where Heamis was currently located.

Gu Heng quickly found the place.

He looked at the distinctly different prison cell before him, his brows furrowing slightly.

The security measures in this prison cell appear to be dozens of times more stringent than those in other cells.

There were even several cameras installed outside the door, making it a comprehensive, no-blind-spot setup.

Gu Heng took the key he had just taken from the guard, inserted it into the lock, and opened the prison door.

To his surprise, as soon as he pushed open the door, Gu Heng saw a scene that made his eyes widen in horror.

An insect, with its back to him, was torturing a familiar figure.

The barbed whip struck the female insect repeatedly.

The bright red blood stung Gu Heng's eyes.

"Hermes!"

Gu Heng's voice trembled, his throat felt like it was being torn apart, and each syllable sound seemed to be made with the last bit of strength.

Without a second thought, Gu Heng kicked the insect holding the whip hard from behind.

With a cry of "Ouch!", the insect rolled to the side.

The blood-stained whip slipped from his hand and fell to the side.

Gu Heng didn't even spare a glance for the insect.

He hurriedly crouched down to help the figure that had slipped to the ground.

Gu Heng looked at Heemis, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, at a loss.

His face was pale and bloodless.

Her delicate eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a dark shadow on her eyelids.

Gu Heng looked down and saw that the female insect's body was covered with wounds, some large, some small, some shallow, some deep.

The crimson blood flowed uncontrollably onto the ground.

This bloody and gruesome scene caused Gu Heng's heart to ache terribly.

Gu Heng blamed himself.

"How could this happen..."

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Heemis, whose eyes were half-closed, slowly opened them upon hearing the familiar voice.

He was stunned when he saw the insect clearly.

He was a powerful ruler...

Heamis opened her mouth, her voice filled with undisguised joy, yet her throat was dry, as if she hadn't had water in a long time.

"My lord, you're awake."

Gu Heng grasped the female insect's hand. "Yes, I'm awake."

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been locked up in jail."

Heemis shook her head with difficulty. "No, my lord, I'm alright. It's good to see that you're alright."

Even though Heemis was covered in wounds, he still managed a slight smile to tell the lord that he was alright.

This only made Gu Heng feel more guilty and heartbroken for the female insect.

Immediately, Gu Heng looked sharply at the insect beside him, who was propping itself up with its hands to get up.

Gu Heng asked, his voice icy cold. "Who gave you permission to use torture?"

When he arrived, the doctor told him that Hermione was only temporarily imprisoned, but her life was not in any danger.

It is now clear that what he is seeing is completely different from what the doctor described.

He wouldn't believe it if you said there weren't insects secretly tampering with things.

The female insect vaguely realized who the insect in front of her was, and stammered, "It's...it's..."

However, Gu Heng didn't have that much patience.

He threatened sharply, "Do you want me to kick you again?"

"Or do you want me to just twist off the hand you used to wield the whip?"

The male insect's facial expression was genuine, and the female insect knew, of course, that he would keep his word.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "...It has nothing to do with me; it was all at His Excellency Andrew's request that we do it."

When his suspicions were confirmed, Gu Heng's expression turned grim.
