Pei Zhi's eyes lit up, and she decided to start playing tricks.

"Since you can't pay upfront and I don't want you to pay in installments, I do have a solution."

Pei Zhi sized up the men. "I think you're all quite good-looking. Why don't you sell yourselves?"

"Just once is fine, we'll be even after that, how about it?"

Pei Zhi said this to intimidate them.

Pei Zhi believed that these men shouldn't have done such a thing.

Du Lei coughed first, "I'm a soldier."

Du Lei declared righteously, "I'll handle this despicable matter. I want to save the people from their suffering."

Pei Zhi: ?

Pei Zhi was very puzzled. Was this how the word "rescue" was used?

“No need,” Cheng Xuelin quickly said. “How can we let soldiers sell themselves? Soldiers should serve their country.”

Cheng Xuelin said sincerely, "Let me do it. I've never been married and I'm single. No one is more suitable than me."

Jiang Qingyuan's competitive statement was, "I've been married, I have experience, and I know how to take care of people."

Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow. This was indeed an offer that was hard to refuse.

Pei Zhi's eyes darted among the men, seemingly sizing them up.

In fact, Pei Zhi still sighed, "That was too impulsive."

They should have left immediately instead of following to check on Pei Wang's condition.

Pei Zhi wasn't worried; what if something really happened to Pei Wang?

As a result, she was discovered on her very first day back. It was really...

Pei Zhi lowered her head and sighed.

Pei Zhi just didn't understand. Wasn't it terrifying that she had come back to life?

Why aren't these people surprised at all?

You're convinced it must be her who's back?

Pei Zhi was too lazy to struggle anymore and took off her mask.

It wasn't as calm as Pei Zhi had imagined; they were convinced that the person in front of them was Pei Zhi.

But when Pei Zhi's face was revealed after she took off her mask, they still couldn't suppress their excitement.

Pei Wang, in particular, was about to throw off the covers and get out of bed.

Pei Zhi reacted quickly and held Pei Wang down.

What are you doing?

"Your wound was just stitched up, are you out of your mind?"

Pei Wang held Pei Zhi's hand tightly, "Even if I were stabbed dozens of times for coming back, I would be willing to do it."

Pei Zhi shuddered. "Don't say such disgusting things. It makes me want to vomit."

Pei Zhi showed Pei Wang absolutely no respect, "How come you've become so pathetic after all these years?"

"Being cheated on and then stabbed and hospitalized is both shameful and humiliating."

Pei Wang's emotions of being moved came to an abrupt end.

"I'm already like this, can you please not be so harsh with your words?"

Seeing that Pei Wang was indeed pitiful, Pei Zhi couldn't be bothered to continue stabbing him.

When Pei Zhi took off her mask, she had already prepared her words.

Pei Zhi explained, "Actually, I'm from another time."

The men nodded in agreement; to them, all that mattered was that Pei Zhi was back.

As for why Pei Zhi was able to come back, that's not that important.

Du Lei asked worriedly, "You're not going to suddenly disappear again, are you?"

They didn't care at all how Pei Zhi got back.

They were just afraid that if Pei Zhi came back, she wouldn't leave again.

If Pei Zhi comes back and then leaves again, it will be the death of them.

Pei Zhi shrugged. "I don't know, but judging from the current situation, it probably won't happen, right?"

Pei Zhi didn't dare to give a definite answer. What if she wasn't happy staying there? Wouldn't she just go back?

Pei Wang wiped away her tears, "I'm going to tell my parents, and my older brother, that you're back."

"They will be very happy."

"Let's not," Pei Zhi said somewhat awkwardly. "How are we going to explain this to my parents?"

"They're old, what if they mistake me for a monster?"

Pei Zhi's parents truly loved her, but Pei Zhi was also worried that her sudden return would upset them.

Pei Zhi didn't want to, so naturally no one would force her.

Jiang Qingyuan came up with an idea: "They know that Brother Wang is in trouble, and they've already rushed to the city."

"After you've seen your parents, then you can decide whether or not you want to acknowledge them as your parents, okay?"

Cheng Xuelin and Jiang Qingyuan have worked together seamlessly in the laboratory for many years, and Cheng Xuelin understands Jiang Qingyuan's meaning.

Cheng Xuelin immediately cooperated, saying, "Yes, you can hide to the side in a bit. It's up to you. We won't coerce you."

Although Pei Zhi didn't understand, it was good to let her see her parents.

Du Lei received a call from Pei's eldest brother. They had arrived at the hospital entrance but didn't know where to go.

Du Lei hung up the phone and said he would go out to pick them up.

Cheng Xuelin and Jiang Qingyuan arranged a hiding place for Pei Zhi that would allow her to see her parents clearly without being discovered.

When Brother Pei met Du Lei, he saw that Du Lei's eyes were red.

Brother Pei immediately grabbed Du Lei's arm, "Is my brother alright? Don't scare me!"

Du Lei wiped away the tears that had involuntarily streamed down his face with the back of his hand. "He's alright."

Brother Pei looked at Du Lei suspiciously, "You've been crying, so don't hide it from me. Is my brother badly injured?"

Du Lei burst into laughter, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "It has nothing to do with A-Wang. Something great happened today, which is why I'm crying."

Brother Pei's gaze toward Du Lei became even stranger.

Du Lei and Pei Wang have been brothers for so many years, but Pei Wang is injured and hospitalized.

Even if Du Lei has some incredibly good news, he shouldn't be laughing.

Du Lei composed himself and said, "Father, Mother, Big Brother, come with me."

The three followed behind Du Lei, with Brother Pei taking two steps ahead and getting close to Du Lei.

"I heard that it's Ah Wang's wife who's being dishonest?"

Du Lei was surprised by how quickly the news spread, but there had been some rumors before.

It is said that Pei Wang often does business outside, and his wife is always getting close to some men.

Pei Wang also had his doubts, but each time his wife would shout and scream, claiming that she was innocent and that it was all just business dealings.

Then she started crying again, recounting how hard she had worked to give birth to twins for the Pei family and how much suffering she had endured.

Pei Wang also lacked substantial evidence and therefore couldn't pursue the matter further.

Surprisingly, it really happened.

"Yes." After nodding, Du Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Brother Pei was now completely enraged: "?"

Du Lei realized something was wrong and quickly covered his mouth, afraid that he would burst out laughing.

The more Du Lei tried to hold it in, the more he wanted to laugh.

"Brother, I'm sorry, but what happened today made me so happy."

Du Lei smiled as he apologized to Brother Pei.

Even if Brother Pei was angry, he couldn't show it.

He could only wear a sullen face; his house was a complete mess, yet Du Lei was still smiling so happily.

It seems that the brotherhood between Du Lei and Pei Wang isn't very genuine.
