Chapter 1107 - 314: Love_2
"Thank you."
After confirming the gift, Chen Ming thanked the Legion Commander and then carefully put away the Spiritual Stones.
In his mind, these Spiritual Stones were perfect for making engagement rings, a matching pair, just right.
The Legion Commander, seeing Chen Ming decisively accept the gift, probably understood that today’s issue ended here.
"I’m glad you’re satisfied."
"Alright, I really have to leave this time. We’ll meet again when I’m back."
After saying this, he turned and left the building, boarding the Shuttle Boat he arrived in.
Not a trace of hesitation.
The Legion Commander is quite a character.
He handled the matter perfectly, leaving Chen Ming without a hint of aversion.
At least Chen Ming was satisfied with the outcome, so there was nothing more to say.
As the Legion Commander boarded the Shuttle Boat,
the Cruiser hovering in the sky began to disassemble, vanishing into thin air.
Chen Ming and Bai Quan exchanged a glance and then left the building as well.
This time, although Chen Ming didn’t cause much destruction,
at headquarters, everything controlled by Chen Ming needed replacement, and several buildings he’d visited required rebuilding.
Of course, these tasks weren’t Chen Ming’s responsibility.
If the Legion needed, he could even help demolish the buildings and remove everything he controlled.
After all, it was just a matter of lifting a finger for him.
Bai Quan, however, had many matters to attend to and parted ways with Chen Ming after leaving the building.
He couldn’t leave as easily as Chen Ming; he had to handle the aftermath, especially dealing with Qiu Bowen.
There were still things awaiting Chen Ming’s attention as well.
For instance, he needed to get Cheng Xinghe out of the interrogation room.
Chen Ming’s Shuttle Boat quickly returned to the police station.
As it landed,
Chen Ming saw Cheng Xinghai rushing toward him with extreme urgency, grabbing his hand and asking, "Are you okay?"
Chen Ming opened his arms, displaying himself unharmed: "Aren’t I just fine?"
Cheng Xinghai sighed with relief: "As long as you’re okay."
"But why did you go and do something so dangerous?"
Evidently, she had seen the Dusk Cruiser hovering over the city center in the headquarters.
She didn’t need to think twice to know it was definitely Chen Ming’s doing.
When the Cruiser suddenly warped mid-way, and Chen Ming didn’t return, she had worried for so long, fearing something happened to him.
Later, when the Cruiser warped back over the city center, her concern grew, fearing Chen Ming might do something rash.
Although the worst never happened during those times, seeing the Cruiser in pieces during its final disassembly pushed her worry to the peak.
Fortunately, Chen Ming appeared in front of her unharmed in the end.
Faced with Cheng Xinghai’s concern, Chen Ming didn’t know what to say. Having someone care for his safety gave him a feeling of being valued but also put pressure on him.
When he was alone, he could act as wildly as he wanted, and any consequences would be his own issues.
But with someone concerned about him, he had to consider the consequences of his actions.
Luckily, Chen Ming was out there with a false body, so he wasn’t too worried about accidentally destroying it and causing sorrow.
"It’s okay, look, I’m back, aren’t I?"
"Mm."
Cheng Xinghai didn’t try too hard to persuade Chen Ming not to do dangerous things. Chen Ming would take responsibility for himself; at least, he returned safely.
"So now we..."
"Now that it’s resolved, let’s go get Cheng Xinghe out."
Cheng Xinghai didn’t expect Chen Ming to give her this answer: "It’s resolved already?"
"Yes, it took a bit of effort, but the outcome is good at least."
"What did you do?"
"I caught a few people, threatened some with the Cruiser, then the Legion Commander came back to chat, and the issue was resolved. That’s about it."
Cheng Xinghai put her hand over her slightly open mouth and said, "It’s not that simple... it really sounds dangerous."
"It’s not too bad. If I hadn’t done this, we probably would’ve just finished dinner and still figured out how to get Cheng Xinghe out of the police station."
"Mm..."
Cheng Xinghai knew Chen Ming was right. Without his actions, that would likely have been the scenario.
But she also knew that what Chen Ming did was far from as effortlessly as he made it sound.
At headquarters, there was a resident Level 6 Psychic.
A Level 6 Psychic possesses the power to destroy an entire Star System.
Even if this Level 6 Psychic’s abilities were restricted at headquarters, ordinary psychics would find it hard to resist.
For Chen Ming to do anything at headquarters, he must have faced that Level 6 Psychic head-on.
Moreover, at headquarters, when the Legion Commander left, a General stayed to protect the Level 6 Psychic, which was the biggest rule at headquarters.
But Chen Ming blatantly ignored this rule; he used violence at headquarters, launching a Dusk Cruiser, trampling the rules underfoot.
Even after breaking the rules, he returned to abide by them, not becoming an enemy of the system because of rule-breaking.
So far, it seemed nobody had ever managed that.
At least, in her memory, nothing like this had ever happened at headquarters.
Cheng Xinghai’s gaze at Chen Ming suddenly seemed to hold something more.
