I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

Chu Xinhang and Xue Fengyi were amused by Youyou's appearance; the little guy was really precocious for his age.

"Look, even Youyou understands this principle, why can't you get it?"

With Chu Xinhang's encouragement, Xue Fengyi's mind cleared up considerably, and he realized that perhaps he could try to win it over.

After finishing their dessert, they prepared to visit the next place. Youyou happily walked ahead, but just as he stepped out of the dessert shop, several insects wrapped up tightly appeared behind him. They picked up Youyou and flew into the sky.

Everything happened so suddenly that Xue Fengyi immediately spread his insect wings to give chase, while Chu Xinhang quickly put the baby in the shop and went after him as well.

Having anticipated this, the insect immediately ordered its subordinates to stop the two. Seeing them flying further and further away with Youyou, Chu Xinhang picked up a chair next to him and threw it at them.

"Go save Youyou quickly, I'll hold them off."

Xue Fengyi broke free from the entanglement and immediately flew towards the direction where Youyou had disappeared. However, before he had flown far, one of the insects pulled out a mechanical gun from its pocket and pulled the trigger in the air.

"Xue Fengyi!"

Everything happened too fast. The once lively swarm of insects scattered in all directions after hearing the gunshot. Chu Xinhang broke free and flew towards Xue Fengyi at top speed.

Fortunately, he was caught before he fell, but the laser beam had blasted a bloody hole in his chest.

"You...you..."

Xue Fengyi coughed up large mouthfuls of green blood, gripped Chu Xinhang's arm tightly, and used all his strength to utter those two words.

"I will rescue Youyou. Hang in there, you must hang in there."

Chu Xinhang carried him and flew desperately toward the hospital. He hated himself for being just a lowly female insect who couldn't protect anyone.

In the preparation area base, Chu Yang was teaching Qiao Yuan how to cook fish when the hot oil in the pot suddenly splattered, splashing hot oil onto his hand and immediately causing a blister to form.

"Hiss~ That was dangerous, Lord Chu Yang, are you alright? If I hadn't gone to call the army doctor over..."

"It's nothing, it's not a serious injury. Everyone gets burned by oil while cooking. Just remember, never pour cold water into hot oil, or you'll end up like what happened just now."

Chu Yang had gotten used to being burned before, but being burned again now stirred up some inexplicable emotions in him.

"General, General Li is here."

The two insects were cooking when the adjutant hurriedly brought Li Yizhou in.

"Chu Yang, come with me quickly, something's happened."

Li Yizhou grabbed Chu Yang's arm and started to pull him out; he needed to get Chu Yang back quickly.

"Hey, I'm learning how to cook fish right now, he can't leave yet."

Chu Yang turned off the stove, looked at Li Yizhou who had a slight frown, and wiped his hands on his apron.

"What happened."

"Youyou has been kidnapped, Xue Fengyi...he..."

Before Li Yizhou could finish speaking, Chu Yang ripped off his apron and ran outside, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Oh dear, my fish... this..."

Qiao Yuan was still a little confused. How could they just leave like that? He had just heard the word "kidnapping." Who kidnapped him?

"General, Chu Shiyou is the son of Lord Chu Yang. He has been kidnapped, and it seems that Lord Chu Yang's concubine has been shot."

The adjutant explained from the side, "When did the empire's security become so lax that such a thing could happen? The key question is, what kind of insect could have such a grudge against Lord Chu Yang?"

"What?! How could such a thing happen? What kind of insect has the audacity to do this? Go and contact the Marshal's signal for me. I need to tell him about this."

On the aircraft, Li Yizhou gave Chu Yang a brief account of the situation. After the incident, Xu Le contacted him immediately, so he arranged for his adjutant to investigate Youyou's whereabouts and came to pick Chu Yang up right away.

When Chu Yang arrived at the hospital, Xue Fengyi had not yet come out of the emergency room.

"My lord, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought them out. It's all my fault."

When Chu Xinhang first saw Chu Yang, he stumbled off his stool and rushed over, kneeling on the ground in tears. He felt extremely guilty, thinking that if he hadn't suggested it, this wouldn't have happened.

"How is he now?"

"Xue Fengyi is badly injured, it seems he was even wounded in a vital spot. I'm sorry, my lord, I'm so sorry."

Chu Yang held him in his arms, comforting his trembling body, and spoke softly.

"It's not your fault. Even if you hadn't gone out today, they would have found a chance to strike. I know who it is. Don't worry, I will bring Youyou back safely."

After comforting Chu Xinhang, Chu Yang's eyes turned cold. He stood up and walked straight out of the hospital, with Li Yizhou following him.

The aircraft landed at the entrance of the Wen family. This was Chu Yang's first time visiting the Wen family. He thought he wouldn't be able to see Lan Zhuo so soon, but the other party seemed to have anticipated his arrival.

As they disembarked from the aircraft, insects came directly to guide them.

When Lan Zhuo saw Chu Yang arrive, he put down his teacup and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"You finally came."

Chu Yang clenched his fists and angrily questioned him.

"Why are you so despicable, using such means to force me to come here?"

"I just want you to be recognized as a member of the Wen family, after all, you have the blood of our Wen family flowing through your veins."

Lan Zhuo looked completely nonchalant, his hands resting on his crossed legs as he spoke casually.

"As long as you agree to return to the Wen family, I will release the cub. As for the injured female insect, consider it bad luck."

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and glared at Lan Zhuo. If looks could kill insects, he would probably be a corpse by now.

“I don’t understand why you insist on doing this. If I come back, your son will never be able to inherit the title of prince.”

Sure enough, Lan Zhuo became agitated when this was mentioned, gripping his pants tightly with his hands on his knees as he roared angrily.

"You think I wanted this? If it weren't for the insects threatening me..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Lan Zhuo swallowed them back. What a close call! He almost revealed the secret. He absolutely couldn't let the other insects know that he was being threatened.

Even though he hadn't finished speaking, Chu Yang still guessed what he was saying from his words.

"Release Youyou, and I'll agree to your request."

"Haha, it would have been better if you had just agreed earlier. Since you're willing to admit your identity, then come with me to meet the reporters who have been waiting for you."

Lan Zhuo stood up, glanced at Li Yizhou who was following behind Chu Yang, and said to him with an unhappy expression.

"General Li, this is a family matter of the Wen family. It's not appropriate for you to get involved."

"It's really not appropriate."

Li Yizhou muttered something under his breath to Chu Yang with a blank expression.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Chu Yang followed Lan Zhuo to the Wen family's reception room, where many reporters were sitting.

When they saw Chu Yang, they were so excited that they kept pressing the shutter button to take pictures.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to my Wen family today. Now I have some good news to announce: the long-lost son of the Wen family has finally been found, and that son is Chu Yang."

Lan Zhuo shouted excitedly to the group of reporters, determined to spread the news to every planet as quickly as possible.

"Your Excellency Chu Yang, is what Lady Lan Zhuo said true?"

"Are you really the male son of Queen Lanzhuo and Prince Wenrui?"

"Your Excellency Chu Yang, why did you refuse to acknowledge your family ties before?"

"Your Excellency Chu Yang..."

"Your Excellency Chu Yang..."

……

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Chu Yang clenched his fists tightly behind his back.

"First of all, I am not the female ruler of Lan Zhuo, but the male. My female father is named Lan He, who was the former female ruler of Prince Wen Rui. As for other questions, I have nothing to say."

Lan Zhuo's smile froze. He couldn't afford to lose his temper in front of the group of reporters, but no matter what, the matter had finally come to a conclusion.
