Li Shu and Huo Wei looked at each other and immediately guessed each other's identity.
Li Shu immediately crossed his arms and raised his chin, "Then why don't you take us there quickly!"
The boss smiled even more broadly, and then took Li Shu and the other person to the backyard of the fruit shop.
Then he led them through many twists and turns until they arrived at a secret room. He stretched out his hand to open the door, then turned to look at Li Shu. He no longer had the flattery he had just shown, and said calmly, "Mr. Li, Mr. Huo, my husband is waiting for you inside."
Li Shu subconsciously glanced at Huo Wei. The man didn't say anything, but just gave him an encouraging smile.
Li Shu let out a breath, then walked towards the secret room with Huo Wei.
The secret room was still a little dark. The moment they entered, the door closed tightly, and then the lights around it came on.
Only then did they discover that this secret room was actually a laboratory.
Li Shu immediately noticed the man who was doing an experiment nearby. The man was meticulously calculating some numbers that he couldn't understand.
Seeing this, Li Shu inexplicably felt a sense of respect in his heart, and then he and Li Shu stood quietly there, waiting for the other party to finish work.
Time went on for a long time, and the other party still hadn't finished the work.
Huo Wei frowned, interrupted the other person's work with a cold face, and said in a deep voice, "Is this your way of entertaining guests?"
The man finally came to his senses. When he looked at Li Shu and Huo Wei, his eyes were still a little confused. Then he instantly understood what the other party meant. He straightened up, walked in front of Li Shu and Huo Wei, and whispered, "Sorry, I forgot the time just now."
Then he made an inviting gesture, "Please sit down, we will talk here in detail."
The two of them didn't hesitate. After standing for such a long time, they were indeed a little tired. When they sat on the sofa, Li Shu directly stated his purpose, "I think sir, you should know why we came to see you?"
A faint smile played on the man's lips, "I do know."
Then he let out a light breath, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lin Yong, and I used to be a researcher at the Insect Tide Research Institute."
Li Shu's eyes lit up. "So, you can directly tell us the best route for the insect swarm, right?"
Lin Yong gave a bitter laugh. "Sorry, I left the institute before they chose their new route. I only found out about their new route because I was drinking with a former colleague, and he accidentally let me know."
Although Li Shu was a little disappointed, this was all within his expectations. He let out a breath and said, "It's okay. Mr. Lin, can you give us the map of the research institute? We can go there by ourselves."
He paused, then continued, "Also, you told us this news. What do you want from us? How about we exchange what you want for the map of the institute?"
Lin Yong shook his head. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so obsessed with the route map the institute is researching. It was just a rough draft at the time, and they haven't yet determined a truly safe route. So, even if you go to the institute, you won't get anything useful."
Huo Wei crossed his arms, looked at Lin Yong coldly, and said abruptly, "Mr. Lin, what do you want to do? Just tell us directly. We don't like beating around the bush."
Hearing this, Lin Yong was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Li Shu, who was standing to the side. "I want Mr. Li to help me save someone."
"Star Beast?"
Li Shu still has self-awareness. He has no medical skills, and the only thing that can have a therapeutic effect is the plants he promotes.
This plant has the greatest effect on star beasts.
Lin Yong did not deny it. He nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you can restore its sanity and restore its human form, I can give you whatever you want."
Li Shu's eyes lit up, "Anything is fine?"
"Yes, as long as you can make it a normal person again!" Lin Yong said firmly.
"I want you!"
As soon as Li Shu said this, the room became silent.
Huo Wei's face darkened, and there was a warning in his eyes, "Li Shu, what did you say?"
They have only been dating for a short time, but this guy already wants to find his next love, and he also wants to see if his current girlfriend agrees!
Lin Yong was also a little surprised, but he said without hesitation, "Sorry, I already have someone I like, so I can't agree to your request."
Hearing this, Li Shu felt helpless for a moment, then laughed a little, "Mr. Lin, you think too much. I have a lover, and I don't want anything to happen between us. To me, my lover is the best."
Hearing the anger in Huo Wei's voice just now, he knew that Huo Wei had also misunderstood him. He hurriedly spoke to express his true feelings, and at the same time reached out and shook the other person's hand to express his attitude, and then continued to speak to Lin Yong.
"What I want is your talent. As you know, we no longer belong to the empire, so no matter what we do in the future, we need to develop it ourselves. Therefore, our planet is in great need of talent."
"You are a talented person, so I want you to leave with us and go to the blue planet to shine there."
"Of course, you can refuse, and I will still give you the plants. So, please consider my proposal carefully."
"Don't think about it." As soon as Li Shu finished speaking, Lin Yong spoke directly, "I agree with your request. I will do my best to help you develop the technology of the Blue Planet."
Although Li Shu said that he would help no matter what, he could not guarantee that Li Shu would do his best, so he could only add chips to himself.
Huo Wei saw what Lin Yong was thinking, his eyes dimmed slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Li Shu's eyes lit up, and he smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Okay, welcome to join our Blue Planet."
Lin Yong returned the handshake and continued, "In that case, shouldn't we go take a look at it now?"
"good."
After hearing Li Shu's response, Lin Yong took Li Shu and Huo Wei and opened the heavy door on the other side.
Then, they saw a tiny white tiger cub in a huge cage. Its eyes were bloodshot, and when it saw the human presence, it immediately rushed up and roared at them.
At this moment, the other party looked like a mindless beast!
Li Shu glanced at the collar around the white tiger's neck. The danger rate on it showed 99.8%. Li Shu's eyes darkened. This was even more serious than Huo Wei's at that time. This star beast could really be called a beast.
Li Shu turned his head to look at Lin Yong, lowered his eyes slightly, and then said, "Mr. Lin, our contract is invalid."
Lin Yong's palms suddenly clenched, and his voice trembled slightly. "Why?"
