The medicine came in pills, meant to be taken orally. Little Mu Lan held them, hesitating for a moment before finally pouring one out of the bottle. He carefully pried open Lu Wan Qing's mouth and placed the pill inside.
Perhaps Lu Wan Qing was not completely unconscious yet, and in her subconscious, she still desired to wake up. The moment the pill entered her mouth, her throat involuntarily swallowed, precisely ingesting the medicine.
Seeing her mommy take the medicine, Little Mu Lan's heart eased a little. The next moment, he remembered something and quickly found a bottle of water from his spatial storage. He brought it to Lu Wan Qing's lips, carefully trying to feed her.
Lu Wan Qing's lips didn't move; she couldn't drink.
Little Mu Lan became anxious again. He looked at his mommy, feeling extremely uneasy.
This wouldn't do, Little Mu Lan thought, suddenly panicking. He took out his optical communicator, unable to resist trying again, to see if he could contact his daddy. Daddy would definitely come to save them!
Time ticked by. Little Mu Lan fiddled with the optical communicator, but it remained unresponsive. His face was grim, and his stomach rumbled with hunger.
Little Mu Lan looked up at the darkening sky. Outside looked terrifying, with dense forests everywhere. Moreover... what if there were wild beasts?
Little Mu Lan suddenly felt scared. He returned to his mommy's side, looking at her still-unconscious form, tears welling up in his eyes.
The rumbling in his stomach grew louder. Little Mu Lan hesitated for a moment, then opened his spatial storage, wanting to find something to eat, but there was nothing.
Little Mu Lan suddenly remembered that when they were preparing to leave, Mommy had asked if he wanted to buy snacks. Unfortunately, they hadn't bought any. If they had, he would have something to eat now, wouldn't he?
But these weren't the important things. Little Mu Lan looked at his mommy, only hoping she would wake up soon. He hoped she would live, not die!
"Wuwu, he doesn't want Mommy to die." Little Mu Lan quietly snuggled against his mommy, leaning on her carefully. He was so scared, so helpless, and so worried about his mommy.

The Imperial Capital.
Mu Si Jie also received the news: the spaceship had met with an accident.
His face was extremely grim. He abandoned his work and immediately made calls to the federal rescue personnel, then rushed to the accident site himself.
The Lu family and the official federal rescue teams had already departed. They were searching on the front lines, finding one space capsule after another. Most passengers were safe and unharmed. The staff waiting on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that despite the accident, no casualties had been reported so far.
"Where are Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan?" Mu Si Jie hurried over, searching among the rescued passengers, but he couldn't find the people he was looking for.
Mu Si Jie's heart pounded rapidly, and a sense of unease spread through him. He could no longer stand it and, with a somber expression, quickly went to the command center.
Mu Si Jie's status was too significant; it was likely no one in the entire galaxy didn't recognize him. The moment he entered the command center, everyone turned to look at him. They held their breath, tense.
"Where are Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan? Have they been found?" Mu Si Jie asked urgently, his voice trembling as he spoke, revealing his fear.
The Lu family staff member was also startled. He quickly stood up, looking at Mu Si Jie nervously, "Not... not yet found."
The staff member was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back. He said nervously, "Master Mu, please rest assured, all passengers on the spaceship have been arranged to board space capsules. They... they should be fine. We just need to find them as soon as possible!"
Mu Si Jie's eyes turned crimson. "So they still haven't been found?"
The Lu family staff member opened his mouth, but found that due to extreme nervousness, he couldn't make a sound.
The hand Mu Si Jie held by his side also trembled. Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan were in trouble, and they hadn't been found yet. Could something have happened to them?
Where could he find them?
He had to find them back as soon as possible!
Mu Si Jie didn't care about anything else right now. He just wanted to find Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan quickly. Once they were found, he would settle the score with the Lu family!
"Where exactly did the accident happen? Do you know which direction Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan's space capsule drifted?" Mu Si Jie pressed further.
The staff member was frightened by Mu Si Jie's repeated questioning. His face turned pale as he looked at Mu Si Jie, opening his mouth but unable to speak. After a while, he recovered and quickly said, "Yes, I have the data here!"
The staff member's hands trembled as he brought up a holographic screen displaying the data from the spaceship accident, including footage of Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan boarding a space capsule together to escape.
Seeing that Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan were together, Mu Si Jie was slightly relieved, but the thought that they still hadn't been found made him uneasy and worried.
Mu Si Jie took the data and, unwilling to rely on others, immediately made arrangements. He utilized the Mu family's connections to quickly hire the most efficient space rescue team. Everyone set off together to search for them in space.
As time went on, news of the spaceship accident was uploaded to the interstellar network, instantly becoming a trending topic. People across the galaxy began to pay attention to the spaceship accident.
However, the Lu family also released good news: most of the passengers on the spaceship had been found, which slightly eased the minds of the netizens.
But the Lu family's attitude in handling the accident completely angered the Mu family. Lu Wan Qing and Mu Lan hadn't been found yet, and they dared to quell public anger with the inaccurate news that the accident had not yet caused any casualties!
Mu Si Jie had gone to space to search and rescue, so he didn't have the energy to deal with matters in the Imperial Capital or on the interstellar network. However, there were others in the Mu family: Mu Si Jie's parents, grandparents, everyone saw the Lu family's attitude, and the billions of netizens on the interstellar network celebrating that there were no casualties. They were furious!
"Is the Lu family treating us Mu family as if we have no one? This is going too far!" Wen Lan, after browsing the news on the interstellar network, logged off and trembled with anger.
Mu An's face was grim. He said coldly, "Contact the public relations department and have them issue a public statement on the Mu family's official Weibo, @ the Lu family, and ask them how long it will take to find Wan Qing and Mu Lan!"
Wen Lan understood and immediately nodded. "Yes, we can also @ the Federal Academy of Sciences. Although Wan Qing has no maternal family background, the Academy is where she came from. And when she left the Academy, they said that if Lu Wan Qing ever needed help, she could directly approach the Academy."
Mu An looked at his wife, Wen Lan, and nodded. "Mm!"
Three minutes later, netizens discovered that the Mu family's official Weibo had posted again. They initially thought it might be information related to mechas, but after seeing the content, the netizens exploded!
