The Reborn Honest Beta is a Fishing Beauty - Chapter 5 PT2

Chapter 5 PT2 – Zhan Ting’s Powerful Escape

But for the servants of Yuan Palace, Yuan Yao’s return was not good news.

Yuan Yao was fond of bizarre and bloody banquet games. His temperament was even more unpredictable than Yuan Jing’s. He did not treat his servants as human beings at all. The servants who served him were often killed or injured.

When Su Nuo died in his previous life, the Yuan Palace was on the verge of collapse and the people were alienated. It was a pity that he did not see the final fate of the father and son.

In this life, he must expose the ugly face of the Yuan family to the public in advance.

The Lu family should also be prepared early.

Thinking of this, he opened his light brain, took a look, and closed it again.

This action was repeated throughout the day.

Lu Yu still did not agree to his application. Did he really regard him as a harasser?

Su Nuo was absent-mindedly busy with the things in his hands. When he came to his senses, he found that he had inserted the gastric tube in the wrong place, facing Yuan Jianyi’s eyes. No wonder he couldn’t get it in.

Yuan Jianyi’s left eyelid had been poked red by him.

Su Nuo: “…” I’m sorry.

He glanced around guiltily. Fortunately, everyone in the ward was busy with their own things and didn’t notice what was happening here.

After inserting the gastric tube, he was holding the liquid food and accidentally spilled the food on the doctor next to him.

The doctor cursed and went into the inner room to change into a clean white coat.

At this time, music was playing downstairs and cheers were heard one after another. It was estimated that Yuan Yao had returned.

Khalil came up and asked the medical staff to go down, saying that the Star Lord had specially reserved seats for them.

The group of people left happily.

In a blink of an eye, only Su Nuo, Aunt Xuan and Aunt Tong were left in the ward.

Aunt Xuan stood by the window, stuck her head out, and looked downstairs with envy.

“It’s so lively down there.”

“Yeah, it’s deserted here.”

“Why……”

Su Nuo took over the conversation: “It’s time for dinner, Aunt Xuan, Aunt Tong, you guys go eat first, I’ll start in the ward.” He winked, “If you go now, you can still join in the fun at the banquet.”

When Aunt Xuan and Aunt Tong heard this, they put down the work at hand and thanked Su Nuo with a smile.

After everyone left, Su Nuo hid the doctor’s white coat, hat, mask and other items that had been taken off in the inner room, brought them back to the room, and asked Zhan Ting to change into them.

Fortunately, every time a doctor came to see Yuan Jianyi, he was fully covered, and Zhan Ting could just disguise himself as them to cover his face.

Zhan Ting turned his back to Su Nuo, took off the mask on his face, put on a hat and a mask, leaving only his eyes exposed.

The disguised pupils were light in color, and when the eyelids drooped slightly, he looked cool.

Su Nuo glanced at him and said, “Follow me. They won’t think much of it when they see me with the doctor.”

“Um.”

The two of them had a smooth journey, walked through the corridor and came to the stairs. Just as they were about to go up to the third floor, they suddenly found that Qin Sen was leading bodyguards to search there.

Su Nuo subconsciously pulled Zhan Ting to hide in the room behind him.

Zhan Ting lowered his eyes to look at him, and he explained: “This person is not easy to fool. We will go up after he leaves.”

As he spoke, he turned around, lifted the curtain and looked out.

The two of them were so close that Zhan Ting’s gaze inevitably fell on the back of his neck. The underdeveloped gland was peeking out a tiny spot on the skin, looking like an unopened flower bud.

Zhan Ting turned his head away uncomfortably, not knowing what Su Nuo had seen. His eyebrows were furrowed, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and he looked a little serious.

In Zhan Ting’s eyes, this look was like a child wearing adult clothes.

It’s inexplicably funny and cute.

Su Nuo had no idea what was going on in Zhan Ting’s mind and was concentrating on thinking about the corridor.

Qin Sen is really cautious and suspicious. He didn’t even go to the banquet to join in the fun. It’s already late, what is he still investigating?

At this moment, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and deliberately suppressed conversations came from a distance.

“Young Master, I suspect Lu Yu has already known that I am stalling for time and not allowing the fleet to support Team B-2…”

The person called the young master was the protagonist of this banquet, Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao walked down with a cheerful face, having changed into casual clothes. Upon hearing this, he sneered and patted the shoulder of the person next to him indifferently.

“Commander Qin, stop being so suspicious and scaring yourself every day. You were delayed because you supported me, and you have a legitimate reason. Even if he suspects you and wants to deal with you, he can’t do anything about it. After all, he can’t find you right now.”

“But I’ve been feeling uneasy these past few days. Sir, can Yuan Palace guarantee my safe passage to Cooper Planet?”

“Of course. Could Lu Yu break into the Yuan Palace and kill you? Besides, the military’s investigation results will be out soon. By then, everything will be settled. As for the traitor who destroyed the mecha system… let that mecha soldier named A’Pu take the blame.” Yuan Yao laughed. Seeing that Qin Sen was still looking sad, he advised, “Cheer up. There’s a good show to watch later. Team Bingyi will perform a falling flower show. Do you know what a falling flower show is?”

“W-what?”

“The sight of Team B2 exploding, hahahaha…”

Qin Sen’s face was tangled: “Will this make the Lu family angry…”

“I’m just worried they won’t be angry! The Lu brothers have been bullying me for years, and now I’ve finally got the upper hand. I want the entire empire to witness the tragic destruction of Team B-2, and make sure Lu Yu never gets back on his feet.”

•|•

Su Nuo’s breathing paused, and he subconsciously clutched the curtain beside him, cursing softly between his lips: Bastard.

He knew that the events on Planet Xiz were closely related to the cruel Yuan family.

In order to deal with Lu Yu, they were willing to sacrifice the entire Team B2!

He must find a way to contact Lu Yu quickly so that Lu Yu can be on guard as soon as possible.

Perhaps it was the shaking of the curtains that attracted his attention. Qin Sen at the stairs suddenly looked over here, and Su Nuo was so scared that he quickly let go of his hand.

The bodyguards saluted when they saw Yuan Yao.

Qin Sen retracted his gaze and greeted Yuan Yao, “Young Master.”

Yuan Yao: “Well, Mr. Qin, you’ve worked hard. Come downstairs and have a drink with me?”

Qin Sen: “Thank you for your kindness, Young Master. I will go to the banquet later when I change shifts and offer you a toast.”

“Hahaha okay, don’t forget it.”

Yuan Yao left with a big laugh.

Qin Sen turned his head to look at the curtains, pressed the laser gun at his waist, and then strode over.

Seeing this, the bodyguard behind him immediately followed.

Su Nuo heard footsteps getting closer and closer, and looked behind him hurriedly. He was about to ask Zhan Ting what to do, but when he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him.

“Bang.”

The door was kicked open roughly, and Qin Sen walked in with a pistol drawn.

Su Nuo widened his eyes and looked at Qin Sen.

Qin Sen seemed to have not expected that the person in the room was him. He frowned and looked around quickly, but did not find any other person in the room.

Qin Sen: “What are you doing here?”

Su Nuo swallowed and replied, “I…just saw Young Master Yao appear. I was a little scared, so I hid here.”

Yuan Yao had forced Su Nuo to kneel down before, so it made sense that Su Nuo was afraid of him and didn’t want to see him.

Besides, there are few servants in Yuan Palace who are not afraid of Yuan Yao.

Qin Sen checked the room again and found nothing unusual. He looked down at Su Nuo and said in a cold tone, “Don’t walk around casually today.”

Su Nuo nodded.

Walking out of the room, Su Nuo suddenly said, “Can I go downstairs to see what’s going on?” Zhan Ting could only leave through the back window on the second floor. The area above the third floor was blocked, so he couldn’t go up, so he could only go down to the first floor.

Qin Sen glared at him without saying a word. He slowly put the pistol back on his waist and took two steps downstairs. Seeing that Su Nuo didn’t move, he asked, “Don’t you want to go downstairs?”

“Ah?” Su Nuo raised his leg in confusion and followed Qin Sen.

He didn’t expect Qin Sen to invite him to go down with him.

Didn’t he always hate him?

Su Nuo didn’t have the mood to think too much. His heart was hanging in the balance, and he was thinking about Zhan Ting.

There are dangers everywhere outside, why is Zhan Ting still running around?

It’s really worrying.

When he arrived at the banquet hall, Su Nuo was still preoccupied and accidentally bumped into a man dressed as a waiter. He hurriedly apologized, but when he turned around, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He stared at the waiter, who had already merged into the crowd and could only vaguely see a corner of his back.

Was it Zhan Ting?

Just as Su Nuo was about to chase after him, he was blocked by the passing crowd and had to stop.

Qin Sen noticed his abnormality and looked in the direction of his gaze, but saw nothing.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, nothing.”

At that moment, the banquet erupted in cheers, and the ceiling above the corridor slowly parted to reveal a vast expanse of sky. The crowd chanted Team Bingyi’s name: “Bingyi! Bingyi!”

Su Nuo wondered if this was the performance that Yuan Yao mentioned earlier – “Falling Flower Show”.

A mecha flew straight into the air at a vertical angle and performed a few fancy moves. Then, a team of mechas flew up slowly and surrounded the mecha. Just when everyone thought they were about to start the performance, the mechas suddenly fell down at a strange speed. Sparks burst out from all over the mechas, as if they were about to explode.

Everyone’s heart jumped up instantly, and some people even screamed.

“Ah–”

However, the expected fall did not come. When it was about to hit the ground, the mecha’s limbs grunted again, and it pretended to be stiff, and flew slowly upwards with sparks.

Everyone realized that the scene just now was a reflection of the scene where Team B2 fell to their death.

Everyone at today’s banquet had a close relationship with Yuan Palace, and they all knew what to do and flattered Yuan Yao.

“I think the C1 Squad led by the eldest son is the strongest mecha unit in our empire.”

“Yes, after all, Bingyi was able to successfully repel the Sakru bugs, unlike other mecha teams that only had the title of first place but were directly wiped out by the Sakru bugs.”

“Hahaha……”

A blue mecha in mid-air suddenly attacked the other mechas, leaving them unable to react and dodging everywhere in a mess.

Everyone laughed, thinking it was just a performance, until a mecha was pulled out of the energy ring and fell from the sky with a loud thud.

The banquet suddenly became lively.

“What happened? Why did it just pull out the mecha’s energy ring?”

“This…isn’t this also part of the performance?”

Everyone looked at Yuan Yao, and when they saw his face turn pale, they realized that this was not a performance.

Yuan Yao took the intercom beside him and said, “Han Chao, what’s going on with that blue mecha? Quickly control it!”

“Yes.” Han Chao directed his teammates to form a battle formation while connecting to the communication channel, demanding questions from the person behind the blue mecha, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”

“Sizzle…”

The only answer he got was a shrill sound.

The other party cut the line.

Han Chao pounded the console in anger. “Follow my orders! Quickly surround the blue mecha and don’t let it get close to the banquet!”

“Yes.” The others received the order and quickly controlled the mechas to surround the blue mecha.

But the blue mecha moved very quickly and agilely, making all their attempts to chase and intercept it fail. Several mechas even collided with each other while chasing it, causing sparks to fly and almost an explosion.

Everyone at the banquet was stunned when they saw such a scene of “falling flowers”.

Yuan Yao yelled, “You bunch of idiots, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you even catch an ordinary mecha?!”

Before Han Chao could reply, distracted by the blue mecha, he had already reached him without anyone noticing. Just as Han Chao was trying to get a better look at the mecha’s features, a massive mechanical hand reached out, blocking his view.

He immediately realized that the other party wanted to break the neck of his mecha, and quickly controlled the mecha to retreat, but he was still a step too late.

The mecha’s head was twisted off, and the control system malfunctioned instantly. Afterwards, the mecha was like a headless fly, spinning and shaking uncontrollably in the air.

Han Chao quickly pressed the control panel to try to stabilize the mecha, but failed.

As he fell from mid-air, his eyes were fixed on the blue mecha.

“Who is it?”

How could someone make an ordinary mecha perform so terrifyingly?!

With just a few strikes, the entire C1 team was defeated.

The opponent’s physical fitness is definitely above S-level alpha.

A blue mecha stood horizontally in the air, with a mechanical right hand constantly rotating, and two dense rows of gun muzzles extended from the palm, pointing in the direction of the banquet.

Everyone screamed in fear and ran around in panic.

Bullets rained down on the high seat.

Qin Sen knocked Su Nuo’s head and pushed the dazed Su Nuo back under the table.

“Stay here and don’t move!”

Qin Sen did not hide, but took cover behind the cylinder. He fired at the mecha, trying to prevent it from approaching, while turning on the intercom and instructing the bodyguards to take the Star Lord away.

Qin Sen was calculating that more and more bodyguards were surrounding him, and the mecha’s bullets were almost out.

With the red light detector, the opponent will definitely not be able to escape and could be captured alive.

However, when the blue mecha had only the last row of bullets left, the muzzle of the gun swept towards the underground instrument room of Yuan Palace. The basement was equipped with the instrument that controlled the red photoelectric instrument!

Dense bullets passed through the skylight and hit the equipment in the basement. With a loud bang, the equipment exploded.

A little later, the red light instrument that filled the sky above the Yuan Palace crackled a few times, as if turning into powder and disappearing without a trace.

The moment the red photoelectric device disappeared, the blue mecha had already rushed into the sky, and all its movements were so fast that it seemed as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

By the time Team C1 regrouped and the bodyguards rushed to the venue to surround them, the other party had already disappeared into the horizon.

Su Nuo poked his head out from under the table. The banquet before him was in chaos, with constant noise. In the distance, several mechas were lying sprawled in the open space, looking miserable.

Is the person controlling the blue mecha Zhan Ting?

Su Nuo looked at the basement where the explosion had occurred. It turned out that the red photoelectric instrument was hidden there.

Did Zhan Ting know this a long time ago?

Then why did he stay in his room when he could have escaped by himself?

Thinking about how he had vowed these days that only he could take Zhan Ting away, Su Nuo felt a little embarrassed.

“The Star Lord is fine, and so are we.”

“No, someone died…”

“Who?”

“Qin Sen.”

Everyone looked at Qin Sen lying in a pool of blood in panic. Qin Sen’s body was almost shot into a hornet’s nest, and blood was gushing from his wounds. His eyes were wide open, and it seemed that he had no time to react and was killed while still in fear.

Why was Qin Sen the only one killed?

Is it a coincidence?

Yuan Yao looked at Qin Sen’s body and covered his nose in disgust: “Carry him away! Clean the blood quickly!” The chess piece that had been used up had no value to the Yuan family anymore, and it didn’t matter whether he was alive or dead.

“Also, check everyone’s computers. Don’t let anything leak out about what happened today!”

Yuan Yao originally wanted to record the performance of Team C1 and put it online for people to enjoy, but now that such an embarrassing thing has happened, he had no intention of doing that anymore.

The celebration banquet ended hastily and all the guests left in shock.

The servants also returned to their rooms.

Su Nuo returned to the room, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was really satisfying to see the frustrated looks of the father and son, and the tragic death of Qin Sen.

He turned on his computer and wanted to send a message to Zhan Ting, but he received a prompt.
