"Assistant, arrange a helicopter for me right now, I need to go to the Golden Desert."

Xu Heng spoke.

Although it's true that Long Qingtian and his team's helicopters had been destroyed, it didn't necessarily mean they were dead.

The helicopter had been destroyed, but Long Qingtian and Wang Ye might still be on the run.

In that case, if he hurried over now, he should be able to be of some use.

However, upon hearing Xu Heng's words, the assistant did not immediately carry out his orders. Instead, she spoke to Xu Heng with a worried tone,

"Elder Xu, you must realize that if even Boss Long is in trouble, then even if you go there..."

The assistant cautiously observed Xu Heng, not making another sound, but she knew that Xu Heng had understood her meaning.

Xu Heng let out a sigh.

He understood what the assistant meant.

If even Long Qingtian's strength was to no avail, that would indicate that the enemy Long Qingtian and Wang Ye were facing was surprisingly powerful. Even if he went there, he wouldn't be able to make much of a difference.

But he was not content!

Xu Heng paced restlessly around the room. If he were not in this position, he would have already rushed to the Golden Desert. Being in his position, even if Xu Heng really wanted to be rash, he now needed to consider some issues.

For instance, if Long Qingtian and Wang Ye were really dead, how he would comfort the people of Dragon Country in the days to come.

And many, many other issues.

As Xu Heng anxiously paced, creak.

The door of the room where Ke Linger was located was opened from the outside.

Long Qingtian sat at the forefront, with Wang Ye and Mian Xiaoxue walking slightly behind him, one on the left and one on the right. Seeing the anxious expression on Xu Heng's face, Long Qingtian looked at Xu Heng's assistant with confusion and asked,

"Elder Xu, what's the matter?"

He had never seen Xu Heng so worried before.

"Reporting to Boss Long, after Elder Xu heard the news of your demise..."

The assistant, not immediately registering the situation, began to speak but suddenly realized something. She let out an excited shriek, repeatedly tapping Xu Heng, who looked almost bewitched, and said,

"Elder Xu! Elder Xu!"

"What is it?"

With Xu Heng's abilities, he had actually noticed Long Qingtian, Wang Ye, and Mian Xiaoxue before they even arrived at the room.

But at that moment, Xu Heng was completely immersed in the emotions of Long Qingtian and Wang Ye's presumed accident. It wasn't until the assistant had called out several times that Xu Heng looked up somewhat blankly and asked her.

Because of her overwhelming joy, the assistant had temporarily lost her ability to speak and could only repeatedly point towards Long Qingtian and the others.

Xu Heng's gaze moved stiffly toward them.

At the sight of Long Qingtian, Wang Ye, and the others, Xu Heng's mouth slowly opened wide, and he looked as if he were a child who had discovered an unexpected treasure. Even his tone of voice was somewhat stammered,

"You... how are you here?"

You see, in Xu Heng's view, Long Qingtian and the others were supposed to have perished during the fight with those foreigners.

Now, seeing that Long Qingtian and his team had not perished but appeared right before him, Xu Heng's mind simply couldn't wrap itself around this turn of events.

"Why can't we be here?"

Long Qingtian retorted with a question.

Just then, Wang Ye shifted his gaze to Ke Linger, who was lying in bed. He slightly furrowed his brows and walked toward her. He took Ke Linger's wrist, checked her pulse, and after ensuring that there was nothing wrong with her body, Wang Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Wang Ye looked towards Xu Heng with some confusion and asked, "Why is Ke Linger here?"

Ke Linger hadn't told Wang Ye that she could still operate the Mechanical Man.

Previously, Ke Linger had also instructed Xu Heng not to reveal this matter to Wang Ye.

She wanted to surprise Wang Ye.

So when Wang Ye saw Ke Linger lying on the bed in Dragon Country's Ministry of Technology, his wide eyes were filled with deep confusion.

The assistant kept quiet, glancing at Xu Heng.

Seeing this, Xu Heng also knew that since Wang Ye had discovered Ke Linger here, there was no point in keeping it a secret any longer. Even if he did, Wang Ye would soon find out the truth.

Consequently, Xu Heng reluctantly began to speak to Wang Ye, "Actually, Ke Linger and us... We've been hiding something from you all this time."

"Elder Xu."

Just as Elder Xu was about to continue, Ke Linger, who had been lying in bed, opened her eyes. She spoke to Xu Heng in a somewhat weak voice, "Elder Xu, let me tell Wang Ye."

Given the state Ke Linger was in when she was knocked out; she should still be in a deep sleep at this point.

Yet, it was as if there was a special reaction between Wang Ye and Ke Linger—the moment Wang Ye entered the room, Ke Linger, in her sleep, became vaguely aware of his presence.

Furthermore, upon hearing Wang Ye's voice, she opened her eyes, intending to explain the situation to Wang Ye herself.

"Are you pregnant?"

Before Ke Linger could speak, Wang Ye immediately asked with surprise.

In Wang Ye's mind, since Ke Linger and the others were hiding something from him, and judging by their expressions, he sensed that the secret they were keeping was good news.

So that was the first thing that came to his mind.

Ke Linger: "???"

Long Qingtian: "???"

Xu Heng: "???"

Xu Heng's assistant: "???"

All four people looked at Wang Ye somewhat helplessly.

In the end, Long Qingtian said to Wang Ye with some resignation, "Can you think it through for a moment? If Ke Linger were really pregnant, she should be in a hospital, not here."

"This is Dragon Country's Ministry of Technology!"

Not only Long Qingtian, but even Xu Heng was looking at Wang Ye with a kind of speechlessness.

Wang Ye was usually very clever in other matters; how could he suddenly become so muddled about this?

In the back, where no one was paying attention, Mian Xiaoxue's eyes, which had been lifted in excitement, dimmed a little.

Oh.

She had just thought she was about to have a grandchild. It turned out, she was not.

"Then what is it?"

Hearing Long Qingtian's words, Wang Ye felt even more bewildered in his heart.
