A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

***********

......

That's pretty childish.

There was no method, no skill; it was purely about grabbing, scratching, pulling, pushing, and hitting.

The little male insect tried to scratch Lu Jianan's face with his carefully maintained long fingernails. Lu Jianan reacted quickly, turned his head to dodge, and then pushed him, pressed his head down, and punched him.

I'm going to hit you!

"Let go! You ugly freak!"

"You're the ugly one! You useless piece of trash!"

"How dare you insult me!"

"So what if I curse you! Try messing with my brother again!"

The scene was comical and chaotic, completely lacking the power and bloody beauty of a female insect's battle; it was purely a bunch of weaklings pecking at each other.

However, the insects present still watched with great interest.

This is a fight between male insects! And it's a fight over Bishenmantis.

"..." The Crown Princess covered her face, feeling that Lu Jianan had ruined the reputation of human alphas. His Highness the Crown Prince was comforting her, "It's alright, it's alright. The child is a little weak, but it's already better than male insects..."

Whispers and low laughter rose and fell.

Lu Jianan pushed the little male insect away again.

Just as the little male insect screeched and pounced on Lu Jianan again, and Lu Jianan rolled up his sleeves, ready for another three hundred rounds—

The Red Scorpion Clan's guards and Bishen's bodyguards arrived together.

The guards arrived, and the little male insect wanted them to arrest the human who dared to offend him. Pointing at Lu Jianan, he screamed, "Arrest him! Arrest this lowly human who dared to offend a male insect first! He hit me! You all saw it!"

A cold voice, like a frigid current from Siberia at -50°C, swept through the noisy corner: "Enough."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a deafening morning bell; no one dared to ignore it, and it instantly silenced all the noise.

Bishen finally lowered his hand from his eyes and looked up.

He watched the two wrestling, his gaze fixed on the little male insect like an icicle.

The young male insect froze, pinned to the spot by his gaze, and finally belatedly realized the imposing presence of the most domineering mantis patriarch of the insect race.

All movement and screams were stuck in his throat, and he dared not move again.

Bishen's eyes swept warningly over several Red Scorpion family guards who were itching to step in and take sides.

"..." The guards immediately fell silent, not daring to step forward.

Finally, Bi Shen's gaze fell on Lu Jianan, whose hair was messy, her collar was ripped open, and there was a red mark on her face (probably scratched by the male insect's fingernail), but her eyes were surprisingly bright, like a little fighting rooster that had just finished a fight.

Cute... cough cough cough cough cough!

Bi Shen was silent for a second.

"Guards," he ordered his guards, "seize this man..."

He paused, seemingly considering his words. Ultimately, he chose the most official term: "...the human alpha and this male insect separated."

The Red Scorpion Clan's guards were stopped by Bishen's bodyguards, and several of them looked like they were trying to sneak away.

However, Bishen's guards were the most solid wall of iron, forming a circle that not only blocked the Red Scorpion family's guards, but also quickly dispersed at Bishen's cold glance, completely sealing off the corner where the conflict had occurred and the banquet hall, forming an impenetrable blockade.

No one is allowed to move, no one is allowed to leave.

They even pulled out real guns and ammunition.

Although the gun was held down and not raised, the posture and the menacing aura it exuded said it all.

The banquet hall fell into complete silence.

Repressed.

The music had long since stopped, and the guests were silent, looking at each other in bewilderment, no one daring to move, suppressing their breath.

Everyone looked at Chief of Staff Bishin with fear and tension, as he appeared ready to unleash a massacre.

It's just male insects fighting, surely it shouldn't be that serious?

Ignoring their stares, Bishen pulled out his personal terminal and, right before everyone's eyes—

I called the police.

We are law-abiding citizens, we don't resort to vigilante justice :).

A law-abiding female insect :).

......

In a place like the central planet, where a single brick could strike three powerful figures, the security forces here are certainly far superior to those on some remote planets.

Two minutes later, the police were notified.

Three minutes later, the bugs from the Central Star Guard arrived.

The banquet hall doors were pushed open again, and this time, a female insect police officer wearing the uniform of the Central Star Guard Bureau entered.

They entered the room with serious expressions, handcuffs hanging from their waists.

The lead officer showed his identification, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Bishon.

"Chief of Staff, did you call the police?" The officer walked over and saluted.

Bishen held out his hand, gesturing for him to collect blood and alcohol samples: "Yes, I suspect I've been given illegal drugs."

This was already explained when the police were notified earlier; they came with testing equipment.

The guard on the central star took out his instrument, touched his fingertip and collected some blood samples, then touched the glass and collected some wine samples.

The Zerg's analytical instruments are already very advanced, and they analyze samples very quickly.

A few seconds later, the analyzer emitted a piercing red alarm, and the test results were displayed on the screen:

[High concentration of biological substance detected: inducer (powerful inducer for female estrus, Class A prohibited substance)]

When the result was announced, the scene erupted in uproar!

I initially thought it was just two young males fighting over who was more attractive to Chief Shen, but how come there's also a scene involving contraband?!

Although suppressed, countless gasps of cold air could be clearly heard.

Drugs that induce estrus in female insects have long been listed as prohibited substances by the Empire. This stuff is extremely despicable and usually only appears on the black market. How could it have appeared at the birthday banquet of the head of the Central Star Family in such an open and aboveboard manner, and even in the wine of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Army?

The head of the Red Scorpion family could no longer sit still. His face was ashen, and he practically crawled and tumbled through the crowd to reach Bishen and the police officer. His voice was trembling with sobs, and he almost knelt down.

"Injustice! Chief of Staff Bi Shen! Officer! This...this must be a frame-up against our family! Our Red Scorpion family would never do such a thing! Please investigate thoroughly! Please investigate thoroughly!"

The guards, operating in an official capacity, said: "Please cooperate with the investigation."

Every person who handled the beverages, every surveillance video, will be thoroughly investigated.

Chief of Staff Bishon sealed off the scene very promptly, before any evidence could be destroyed.

The investigation proceeded swiftly, and the security detail was extremely efficient. Soon, the focus was placed on a young waiter responsible for serving drinks on the perimeter.

Faced with the police department's interrogation and overwhelming evidence, including the recovered deleted transfer information on his personal terminal, the waiter's mental defenses crumbled instantly, and he trembled like a leaf: "It's...it's Young Master Lionel!"

The waiter, tears streaming down his face, accused the pale-faced little male insect: "Young Master Leno gave me this wine! He instructed me to wander around near Chief Bishen with this glass of wine after he entered the banquet hall... He said that if Chief Bishen took this glass of wine, he would give me 10 universal coins..."

The waiter's words were so shocking that the Crimson Scorpion Clan Head almost fainted.

He looked at his spoiled son in disbelief, never expecting him to do such a thing in this situation.

The young male insect looked at him in terror: "Father..."

The chain of evidence is complete and clear. The motive (coveting the female insect), the means (drug administration), the perpetrator (the male insect directing the attendant), and the result (the female insect ingesting the prohibited drug and exhibiting symptoms) are all present.

The result is clear.

—This little male insect administered the drug himself and specifically instructed him to take this glass of wine and loiter around Chief Bishen after he entered the room.

At any cocktail party, it's customary to have a glass of wine. Upon entering, Chief of Staff Shen naturally received this spiked wine and drank it at the party.

But to everyone's surprise, Bishen only touched the glass of wine to his lips the whole time, barely drinking any. The little male insect got anxious and had to offer him a toast himself, which Bishen then drank.

The lead officer saluted the insects: "The investigation is complete. Leno, a male insect from the Red Scorpion family, is suspected of using a prohibited drug to induce and control the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army of the Empire into mating, in an attempt to murder a high-ranking Imperial general. The evidence is conclusive. In accordance with the Imperial Security Law and the Public Security Administration Regulations, he is hereby arrested!"

As soon as the words were spoken, two female insect police officers stepped forward and deftly grabbed the pale-faced, disheveled, and lifeless little male insect.

The cold handcuffs snapped shut on his wrists.

"No no no no no Father, save me, Father—!!!" The little male insect's hands were handcuffed and restrained behind his back, and he made desperate struggles and cries for help.

The Red Scorpion Clan Head's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He knew it was all over.

Leno's absurd and reckless behavior this time completely ruined his own and his family's future.

What was originally a matter of the princelings vying for the support of their own families is now a possibility that even if they actively surrender, the princelings will not accept them.

If a conflict or war were to break out in the future, their family might be the first to be crushed into dust by the two behemoths.

The young male was taken away by the guards, and the remaining guests were all expressionless, some even angry.

The guests who came were all prominent figures in the capital city, and their families would definitely not be able to survive in the capital city in the future.

What was supposed to be a joyous birthday celebration is now a complete mess.

......

With the matter resolved, the blockade of Bishen was lifted.

The oppressive atmosphere dissipated.

The guests left the banquet hall with complex and indescribable expressions.

The magnificent banquet hall quickly became empty, as many guests angrily smashed their glasses, leaving behind a mess and a lingering sense of chaos.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess went to communicate with the guards to handle the follow-up matters.

The noise subsided by the floor-to-ceiling window in the corner, leaving only Bi Shen and Lu Jianan.

Bishen remained leaning against the cold marble pillar, watching Lu Jianan.

This little good-for-nothing looks really pathetic right now.

Her hair was a mess, like a bird's nest; her clothes were wrinkled, and one button was missing. Her facial features looked fine, but there was a red mark on her face, probably from being scratched by the male insect's claws.

It was sobbing again, like a disheveled little dog with messy fur and soaked by the rain...

Lu Jianan's eyes turned into fried eggs again, and tears were about to well up again.

Bi Shen couldn't help but smile.

You little idiot.

He raised his hand and gently hooked Lu Jianan's palm, which was hanging by her side.

His slender fingers, slightly cool in temperature, brushed against her skin, and Lu Jianan grasped them.

Bishen looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Didn't you dislike someone like me?"

Lu Jianan recalled what she had said before.

Brother, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you!!

My older brother is really great, but he's not my type!

He pouted and replied softly, "You're just not my type."

Bishen paused for a moment, then uttered a very brief syllable: "Oh, I see."

The voice was very soft, and one couldn't discern much emotion from it; it seemed to simply indicate that the speaker understood.

But Lu Jianan's tears rolled down his cheeks, falling onto his clothes and the floor. He said, feeling wronged, "But I like you."

Lu Jianan's tears flowed even more fiercely, like a dam bursting open, gushing forth.

He felt incredibly stupid, unable to even speak clearly.

Bishen looked at him.

Seeing him crying so hard, then looking at the red mark on his face, and then at his messy hair and torn clothes, I noticed...

...I couldn't hold back my smile.

Damn it, you have such a sharp tongue, hold it in!

Aren't you still trying to keep him hanging? You, the dignified head of the Mantis Clan, Bishenmantis, absolutely cannot be so worthless!

Bishen: "Can you accept getting married tomorrow?"

Damn it, I can't hold back anymore :).

He's a dignified man, what's wrong with him? :).
