Xue Wanqing is currently housed in a dormitory room near the warehouse in Xingfu Community. This place is generally used as a storage room, with these beds reserved for unforeseen circumstances.
Pei Jun found it strange, since when the Happiness Community was being built, there was already a budget for an extra building.
Why did Zhan Siyu ultimately decide to build another dormitory building here? Wasn't that redundant?
Nan Xiangwan explained, "Actually, this place isn't really a dormitory building; it's a warehouse that stores a lot of medical equipment!"
"We're just in case, since we don't know the situation at the hospital on Rose Star yet. This place can be converted into a temporary hospital building at any time!"
Pei Jun immediately frowned. Could it be that Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu were already prepared for war with the powerful families?
Zhan Siyu also explained, "Don't misunderstand, it's just a precautionary measure!"
"Some things you can do without, but you absolutely cannot be without!"
Pei Jun also agreed with this statement. Their military base would occasionally purchase some stored food and resources in preparation for unforeseen circumstances.
When they entered a room on the third floor, Xue Wanqing cowered in a corner, terrified.
"Nan Xiangwan, didn't you say you wouldn't sell me to the military?"
"Are you betraying me? Why did you bring Pei Jun here? Do you want to arrest me and take me to a military court for trial?"
"I've already said it wasn't me, I didn't do this, why won't you believe me?" Xue Wanqing asked.
His voice trembled, and he even seemed to be shaking, as if he were accusing Nan Xiangwan of his behavior.
Pei Jun frowned, somewhat puzzled by Xue Wanqing's reaction.
Nan Xiangwan put down the keys and walked over. Xue Wanqing was holding a small knife in her hand, probably making a self-protective move in response to the impending crisis.
"Put the knife down! Otherwise, I'll kick you out right now!" Nan Xiangwan warned.
They didn't have a good impression of Xue Wanqing herself. If Xue Wanqing had simply asked them for help, they probably wouldn't have even given her a second glance.
The reason we kept him in Happiness Community is simply because he has some value to us, isn't it?
If Xue Wanqing hadn't known the intelligence and evidence they wanted, probably no one would have let him stay here.
Xue Wanqing immediately chickened out. If he left Xingfu Community now, he would be taken to a military base this afternoon.
From now on, she will be burdened with a fabricated crime.
Although Fu Tingshen and the Xue family promised her that once things calmed down, they would go to the military base to bring her back.
However, Xue Wanqing knew very well that while the seven major families could still make decisions on other matters, if he were to take the blame for a serious crime like having interstellar magical beasts brought to Rose Star, no one could save him.
The knife fell to the ground with a thud, and Xue Wanqing could only hide in a corner and cry.
"Pei Jun wants to ask you a few questions. If you answer truthfully, we will leave immediately and won't make things difficult for you!" Nan Xiangwan said.
Xue Wanqing shook her head and said, "That's impossible, you're lying to me!"
“Pei Jun is a member of the military. He is the old general’s right-hand man. Do you think I don’t know that?”
"Now that they've seen this guy, the people at the military base must know about the interstellar beasts. Don't lie to me, Nan Xiangwan. I never thought you would betray me like this!"
Nan Xiangwan rolled her eyes. Xue Wanqing was now completely delusional.
This sentiment is not entirely incomprehensible, given that Xue Wanqing is indeed wary of everyone now.
However, Nan Xiangwan did not intend to understand his emotions, and only glanced at Pei Jun silently.
Regardless of his emotions, Pei Jun had to ask about the specific truth first, otherwise he would find it hard to believe that this matter was true.
"Thank you very much, Miss Nan!" Pei Jun said.
Nan Xiangwan shook her head and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. I just brought you to see him, but Xue Wanqing has always believed that you are someone from the military who came to interrogate him. He probably won't reveal much information!"
Nan Xiangwan gave Pei Jun a reminder: if Xue Wanqing was unwilling to tell the truth, there was nothing he could do.
Pei Jun sighed deeply and finally walked up to Xue Wanqing.
"Tell me again what you told Miss Nan!"
He didn't mince words, after all, this matter was of great importance. If there really were interstellar monsters that had entered Rose Star, or even if they had been deliberately brought in, as someone from the military base, he had to find out the whole story.
Xue Wanqing retreated step by step, eventually giving a rambling account of some details.
Although he didn't explain it very clearly, Pei Jun could confirm one thing: everything Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu said was true.
Nangong Chen said, "He must be terrified of the people at the military base, that's why he's talking so incoherently!"
Pei Jun stood up, ignoring Xue Wanqing, and walked out the door on his own.
"It's okay, I already know the truth!" He seemed to have completely believed what Nan Xiangwan said.
Zhan Siyu laughed and said, "You found out the truth so quickly?"
"I trusted you from the beginning, but as someone working at a military base, everything I do must follow procedures!"
"Don't misunderstand!" Pei Jun explained.
The reason he came to see Xue Wanqing was not because he didn't trust Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan, but because he had to strictly follow the procedures.
This matter is related to Xue Wanqing, and he must meet with the person involved in person so that he can speak with certainty when reporting to the old general.
Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh. Of course, they knew what kind of personality Pei Jun had, and they had never said they didn't believe him.
"What are you thinking? Do we really need to specifically address the issue of trust between us?" Zhan Siyu said.
After the group left, Nan Xiangwan instructed the ability users to keep a close watch on the dormitory building and not allow anyone, including the residents of Xingfu Community, to approach it.
Now, apart from Zhan Siyu, Nangong Chen, and a few other core members, no one can get close to this place. The superhumans will help them protect this place.
After Pei Jun walked out the door, he said, "It seems that we really need to inform the old general about this matter!"
"But you need to be mentally prepared. The old general has also had vested interests with the seven major families, and this might end up being used against him..."
Although he didn't say everything, Nan Xiangwan seemed to have already guessed it.
The old general might, for the sake of order on Rose Star, find someone to be a scapegoat and make them bear the blame.
Judging from the current situation, the people in their Happiness Community are the best scapegoats.
