Faster than expected, 0123 was returned by Elijah on the third day.

From the outside, there is almost no change. 0123 is still the same as before, only the internal systems and programs have been strengthened and upgraded.

In the lobby, Cheng Chu was having a lesson with her tutor, while 0123 was busy packing things to take with her when she moved.

Cheng Chu felt that his wisdom tooth no longer hurt and there were no signs of fever, so he told Mikel that he wanted to continue attending classes.

Mikel contacted her tutor yesterday, and normal class schedules have resumed today.

The tutor explained things very carefully, and Cheng Chu listened attentively. Mikel didn't disturb him and gestured for Elijah to come to the study to talk.

Elijah followed Mikel upstairs to the study, carrying a stack of documents.

The study door closed, and Elijah stepped forward and handed the information he had gathered to Mikel, who was sitting behind the desk.

Elijah said, "General, because this matter involves the safety of your Lord Cheng Chu, the military approved our application. They arranged for the military's top hackers to investigate the matter, and through the traces left in the 0123 program, they found that the hacker who broke into 0123 was the well-known hacker AX on the StarNet."

Hacker AX is a very strange bug. He is highly skilled but loves to show off his skills, leaving his own secret mark every time he invades another bug's system.

Fortunately, the hackers in their military weren't just sitting idly by, and they eventually managed to identify the hacker AX.

Mikel listened attentively to Elijah's report while his eyes quickly scanned the documents.

Mikel didn't even look up. He said in a cold tone, "I know the hacker AX, but I don't have much contact with him. The Lord probably doesn't know him either."

He then asked, "So, who was he acting on his orders?"

Elijah watched as Mikel was about to turn to page seven. He secretly observed Mikel's expression, swallowed hard, and stammered, "General, all the evidence we've gathered indicates that behind AX is... Lord Tegels."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mikel stopped flipping through the documents in his hand. The document in front of him had a familiar face printed on it—Tegels.

Mikel's former male brother, Tegels.

Elijah continued, "Although Lord Tegels wasn't the direct contact with AX... they were very cautious, taking a roundabout route, and we only found Asvida, Tegels's queen, by following the trail. But..."

However, it was obvious to everyone that Asvida was acting on Tegels's orders.

After Elijah finished speaking, he looked down at the floor, and the atmosphere in the study became heavy for a moment.

After a long pause, Elijah asked uncertainly, "General, should we continue the investigation?"

Mikel stared at Tegres's photo for a while, then his eyes darkened, and he said in a flat tone, "Elijah, investigate however you want, don't hold back."

Elijah straightened up, his legs crossed, and said in a loud voice, "Yes, General."

Mikel slammed the document shut with a loud thud onto the table.

"Elijah, is there anything else?" Mikel looked up at Elijah, his eyes seeming to say, "If you have nothing else, get lost."

Elijah hesitated before saying, "General, recently some dirt on you has surfaced on the StarNet. A group of insects specifically dug up your female father's past."

Public opinion on the StarNet was overwhelmingly negative, saying that their general shouldn't be the queen of an S-class male insect because of such a female father, and that Lord Cheng Chu was in danger. Elijah was furious when he saw this.

They didn't say such things when Lord Cheng Chu was an E-rank male insect. Now that Lord Cheng Chu has become an S-rank male insect, they all jump out and start thinking about him.

What else? Their generals are not worthy to be His Majesty Chengchu's queen.

In Elijah's opinion, their general and Lord Cheng Chu were a perfect match!

No one is more deserving than them.

Mikel and Elijah talked about this for a long time.

Time passed quickly. After Mikel and Elijah finished their conversation, the two female insects left the study one after the other and went down to the hall.

At this moment, the tutor had already left, leaving only Cheng Chu in the hall, frowning at the personal terminal with a disgusted expression, seemingly looking at something.

Hearing Mikel come downstairs, Cheng Chu immediately looked up and saw Elijah following behind Mikel, then hesitated to speak.

Elijah was quick-witted this time, and he said, "General, Lord Chengchu, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Mikel nodded and said, "Yes."

With Mikel's permission, Elijah smiled and nodded at Cheng Chu, who was sitting on the sofa, and then left.

Mikel walked over, sat down next to the male insect, and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong? What were you trying to say?"

Cheng Chu asked with some distress, "Queen, when are they coming to dig up the saplings?"

"Professor Onnani said they'll be free to come the day after tomorrow." Mikel continued, "Why did you say that, Master?"

As Cheng Chu handed the screen in his hand to Mikel, he said in a strange tone, "It was that female insect named Ashyos who kept sending me messages the day before yesterday."

Cheng Chu couldn't remember his specific name, Ashyasi.

The screen that was handed over displayed a photo of Arungus. The female insect looked like she had just taken a bath; her light brown hair was still wet and dripping with water. Her thorax was half-exposed, and there were still a few water droplets on her collarbone. The insect patterns on her neck were exposed without any concealment.

Sending such a photo to a male insect has a self-evident meaning.

Below the photo is a breaking news item.

Diligent and hardworking little bug: [Lord Chengchu, I don't know what bit me on the neck, it's a bit itchy, could you take a look?]

Mikel scrolled through the screen, his expression growing increasingly grim. Sure enough, the messages on it all carried an ambiguous, seductive meaning.

Diligent Rice-Eating Good Kid: [Greetings, Your Excellency Chengchu. This is a newly cultivated purple tobacco vine in our research institute. It's so beautiful that I thought you might be interested, so I wanted to share it with you. I hope you don't mind.]

A diligent little rascal: [Image of tobacco seedlings.JPG]

Diligent and hardworking little bug: [Your Excellency Chengchu, the flower seedlings we purchased from you have been planted neatly and without any damage. Please take a look.]

…………

Diligent Rice Eater: [Your Excellency Chengchu, do you like meat wrapped in syrup? I haven't cooked myself in a long time, and my skills have become a bit rusty. I hope you don't mind.]

The diligent, hardworking little bug: [...]

…………

Mikel stared intently at the screen, reading through each message one by one, his eyes brimming with emotion like the calm before a storm. He noticed that the male insects initially responded briefly, but later became increasingly reluctant to reply.

His knuckles slowly clenched and unclenched, the image of Arungus secretly peeking at the male insects that day constantly flashing through his mind.

Before Mikel could say anything, Cheng Chu leaned against Mikel's shoulder, his tone full of complaint, and said, "He just sent another message asking me what bit his neck? He doesn't even know himself, how would I know?"
