Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Extra - Daily Life of Tormenting Dogs and Spreading Sweetness 12

Huo Zhirui was not a determined person.

In fact, in various fields on Landis Star, there were also some pure-bloods who were active, and they were all very outstanding.

Therefore, Huo Zhirui not achieving success was never because he was a pure-blood.

It was because he was an idiot.

Gu Yu withdrew the flames. Huo Zhirui’s right hand was already burnt to a crisp, but fortunately, the bones were not damaged. With the current medical technology, his right hand could still be restored.

The air was filled with a burnt fragrance.

"In that lake, there is a strange-looking... I don’t know how to describe it because I’ve never seen such a creature. Maybe it’s human, maybe plant, or maybe just a monster!"

The flame on Gu Yu’s fingertip danced again, "Get to the point."

"Yes, yes, that being can sing. Its song makes people uncontrollably walk towards the lake, and then vines will emerge, binding them tightly."

Thinking of that scene, Huo Zhirui was still a bit terrified, drenched in cold sweat.

Because he had seen with his own eyes that his colleague, after being pulled into the lake, was devoured by whatever was in the lake, leaving only bones!

Huo Zhirui hadn’t told anyone about this yet, and because his colleague had just returned from visiting relatives, people at the base still didn’t know he was back.

Gu Yu raised an eyebrow, "Then how did you survive? And why didn’t you report this to the base?"

Huo Zhirui didn’t want to speak, but looking at the flames on Gu Yu’s fingertip, he shrank back and said, "I said I could help it lure more people... I could tell it enjoyed feeding on humans."

Gu Yu picked up the scalpel next to him and nailed Huo Zhirui’s injured hand to the bed!

"Ah!" Huo Zhirui cried out in pain.

Gu Yu said coldly, "To save your own life, you tricked your colleagues to the lake to feed that monster?"

"No! I didn’t! Except for the first colleague who wandered in by himself, the others... weren’t base staff."

"If they weren’t staff, they were civilians?"

Huo Zhirui, in severe pain, was streaming with snot and tears, unable to say another word. Gu Yu remembered that Lu Yu and other Star Warriors who had gone out had not returned. He told the doctors who came to check on the noise, "Keep a close watch on him!"

"Yes, Chief Gu."

Gu Yu stepped out to find Adolf and also asked White Tiger to call Lu Yu.

White Tiger: "No one is answering Lu Yu’s communication!"

Gu Yu’s heart sank.

Something must have gone wrong! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gu Yu immediately found Adolf and relayed what he had heard from Huo Zhirui. Although Gu Yu’s method of burning people was extreme, Huo Zhirui’s actions were even more heinous!

Adolf ordered that someone continue to contact Lu Yu and his team, and also called the base manager, Cairo, to get statistics on the missing people from the past three months.

It was unknown how many of them were deceived by Huo Zhirui!

He also warned everyone in the base to stay away from that lake!

Meanwhile, Lin Tao stealthily went to check on Huo Zhirui, looking puzzled when he saw someone standing guard.

"What’s going on?"

The doctor said, "I don’t know the details, but Chief Gu ordered me to guard this person."

Lin Tao glanced at the injured Huo Zhirui and then entered the room.

The doctor saw him enter, and since the patient wasn’t trying to escape, did not stop him.

Lin Tao looked at Huo Zhirui, whose face was pale with pain, and also noticed he was bald. He instinctively touched his own bald head.

It was said that after being burned by Gu Yu’s fire, hair wouldn’t grow back for ten years!

Although he was old and didn’t mind being bald, it still made him feel uneasy inside!

Now seeing that Huo Zhirui was also bald, he felt a sense of camaraderie!

"Was your hair also burned off by Gu Yu?"

"Yes, and you?" Huo Zhirui endured the pain and looked at Lin Tao, knowing he was a small leader in the support team. He thought for a moment and then raised his injured hand, saying, "See this hand? It was just burned by Gu Yu, then he stabbed it again!"

Lin Tao was shocked, "He went that far? Do you have a grudge?"

"Sort of. Did you know, my father almost married Commander Su back then."

"!!!!!!!"

Lin Tao had suspected as much and now, hearing it confirmed, thought Gu Yu was really petty—this was an old matter, and besides, hadn’t the Gu Family and Su Wan already become one? It was the Huo Family who were pitiable!

Lin Tao angrily said, "Gu Yu is too much, using public office for private revenge!"

"He even had people watching me, not letting me leave, to slowly torture me." Huo Zhirui’s voice grew more despairing as he spoke.

Fueled by a desire to trouble Gu Yu, Lin Tao said, "No problem, I can help you escape. If anyone stops you, tell them to come to me!"

Huo Zhirui’s eyes lit up, "Thank you so much!"

Lin Tao first sent the doctor on guard away. Huo Zhirui, enduring the pain, quietly sneaked out of the ward.

However, he didn’t return to his staff quarters but left the base via a side path!

After Adolf finished all the arrangements, he told Gu Yu, "We need to detain Huo Zhirui first. He’s very dangerous, and once we’ve investigated everything, he must be sent to the Interstellar Prison."

"Agreed."

The Star Warriors sent to capture Huo Zhirui quickly returned, saying, "Huo Zhirui is missing!"

Gu Yu frowned, "That’s impossible, I had someone watching him!"

The doctor, feeling deeply guilty, said, "Chief Gu, Minister Lin suddenly fainted, so we rushed to give him first aid. I was gone for just a few minutes, and when I came back, Huo Zhirui was gone."

Gu Yu narrowed his eyes.

Lin Tao had let Huo Zhirui go!

Adolf immediately said, "Go, bring Lin Tao here!"

Lin Tao was feigning illness, feeling pleased that he had finally managed to trouble Gu Yu. With Huo Zhirui now out to create problems for Gu Yu, he figured he’d just sit back and enjoy the show.

If he could see Gu Yu suffer firsthand, it would be even better!

As he was reveling in his thoughts, two Star Warriors suddenly grabbed him. Lin Tao shouted, "Do you know who I am? Let go of me!"

"Lord Adolf wants to see you."

Without further ado, the two Star Warriors carried Lin Tao to where Adolf and the others were waiting.

Seeing not only Adolf but also Gu Yu and the base manager Cairo, Lin Tao immediately said to Adolf, "Sir, what’s happening? Is someone trying to frame me?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yu.

The implication was clear.
