Little Harvey was still immersed in the joy of finally getting his mother back. For a week, he ran around the spaceship every day, and at night, he pestered his mommy to tell him bedtime stories.
Although he was already big, a grown boy, he had seen Lu Wanqing accompanying other children through live broadcasts on the star network, and he wanted that too.
He also wanted Mommy to tell him bedtime stories, specifically for him, so that he would feel happy when he slept. This was the feeling of a mother's love for him.
Lu Wanqing felt helpless, but little Harvey's requests were all small matters, so she tried her best to satisfy her child when she could.
However, neither Lu Wanqing nor little Harvey expected that just as they thought they could be together with Harvey/Mommy for a long time to come, Xavier/Daddy suddenly ordered the spaceship to dock and then threw Lu Wanqing out?
The most bewildered one was Lu Wanqing. Was she trash to be discarded like that?
But the fact was that she was indeed thrown out. Even though little Harvey tried his best to stop them, he couldn't prevent the members of the Indestructible Star Pirates from holding Lu Wanqing and throwing her off the spaceship.
After throwing Lu Wanqing onto an unknown planet, the Indestructible Star Pirates' spaceship quickly activated and then, with a whoosh, disappeared into the distance.
On the spaceship.
Little Harvey was extremely shocked, then stomped his feet in anger. Fortunately, he quickly reacted, rushed to the spaceship, took out the emergency escape small flying vehicle, and before the adults noticed, jumped into the small flying vehicle and quickly flew back.
"Harvey!!!!" Uncle Wu on the spaceship exclaimed, extremely worried.
Xavier reacted and also frowned slightly.

On a completely desolate planet, Lu Wanqing was left alone and was very shocked.
What had happened?
Why were they suddenly throwing her away?
Fortunately, she didn't wait long before she saw a small flying vehicle flying directly towards her.
Lu Wanqing instinctively looked at the flying vehicle. It was only when she saw little Harvey sitting in the vehicle that her heart tightened with anxiety.
Why did her cub come alone?
Did he know how dangerous space was?
He was still a child, how could he pilot a flying vehicle alone in space!
"Mommy, hurry up and get on, I'll take you back!!!" Little Harvey flew to Lu Wanqing's side and shouted.
All of Lu Wanqing's worries instantly warmed her heart upon hearing her cub's words. Yes, it was dangerous, but her cub had returned alone, braving such great danger, to pick her up!
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed.
Lu Wanqing got into the small flying vehicle.
"Mommy, buckle up, we're about to take off," little Harvey reminded his mommy again.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing quickly agreed.
Little Harvey seemed very familiar with all of this. Seeing that Lu Wanqing had buckled her seatbelt, the small flying vehicle shot out with a whoosh.
However, it didn't fly far before the Indestructible Star Pirates' somewhat dilapidated spaceship reappeared.
Xavier, who was a meter eighty tall, stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at little Harvey's small flying vehicle.
The small flying vehicle quickly flew over and stopped above the large ship. Little Harvey raised the transparent protective shield of the small flying vehicle, then opened his arms, shielding Lu Wanqing behind him, and said loudly, "Daddy, we made a promise, we were going to snatch Mommy back, you can't just throw her away!"
"Go!" Xavier ordered coldly.
Lu Wanqing thought Xavier was speaking to little Harvey, but she soon realized he wasn't, because their spaceship suddenly accelerated and headed in a completely different direction than before.
"What's going on?" Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment before walking to Xavier's side and tentatively asking.
Xavier just looked down at her, offering no explanation.
Little Harvey was unhappy. He ran over, tugged at his father's large hand with his small hand, and shook it. "Daddy, what's going on?"
"Why did you suddenly throw Mommy away?"
"And, aren't we going to the Empire? Didn't we agree, once we snatched Mommy, we would go to the Empire, so these people from the Federation couldn't do anything to us!"
Little Harvey babbled on, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube, explaining their previous plan and the current situation.
Lu Wanqing hadn't known their plan before, but after hearing little Harvey's words, she had a general understanding.
The so-called solution of these pirates was to steal her and then leave the Federation?
After all, in the years since she had woken up, she had only lived in the Federation, and all her support was in the Federation.
A nation was a boundary, but this kind of boundary only applied to law-abiding ordinary citizens. Special groups like pirates were beyond its reach.
So, it seemed possible that Harvey's father's plan to snatch her and then leave the Federation for the Empire was feasible?
It was just...
Wasn't it all planned?
Why were they suddenly throwing her away? Was there an accident in the plan?
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has ordered the rescue of Lu Wanqing," Xavier said, not hiding anything from little Harvey as he explained to the child.
"Harvey, everyone in the Federation wants to rescue your mommy, and now even people from the Empire want to rescue her. If we keep her, she will be a big trouble for us," Xavier said sternly.
Little Harvey's eyes widened, completely shocked. "Wh... why?"
"Are they crazy?"
"Why are they putting us on the wanted list for no reason? We haven't done anything wrong in the Empire before!"
Little Harvey stomped his feet in anger and shouted indignantly.
Xavier glanced at Lu Wanqing, a matter he also couldn't understand.
Although the Federation and the Empire were not at war, the two countries were not harmonious. The Empire looked down on the Federation, and the Federation was unwilling to associate with the Empire.
For the past hundreds of years, the Empire had never interfered in the Federation's affairs, and even if the sky fell in the Federation, the Empire wouldn't pay it any mind.
This was the first time, and it was strange.
"Do you know the Emperor of the Empire?" Xavier thought and instinctively asked Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing looked blank. "What?"
"The Emperor?"
"Who is he?"
"I don't know him," Lu Wanqing replied truthfully.
Lu Wanqing was not lying. Xavier knew this because Lu Wanqing had only woken up in the interstellar era a few years ago. Because of Harvey, he had learned about Lu Wanqing's information, so he was well aware that Lu Wanqing had stayed in the Federation all these years and had never been to the Empire.
The only time Lu Wanqing might have had any contact with the Empire was probably when she was at the Yu family's home. Yu Nong had accompanied Madam Yu to the Empire for medical treatment, and then they returned to the Federation and back to Lu Wanqing's side.
