Chapter 75 Can Die
Chu Lin stood up, panting.
Lu Xiwen walked to Pei Wu's side and took the umbrella: "You can wait for me in the car."
Chu Lin subconsciously looked up and met Pei Wu's gaze.
The other person seemed to remember his appearance instantly, scrutinizing him thoroughly with the same dislike in their eyes as Lu Xiwen.
Pei Wu quickly looked away.
The car traveled for another ten minutes on the bumpy, muddy road before getting back onto the highway.
Chu Lin has already introduced himself, so with Lan Zhe's information network, checking his identity and background shouldn't be a problem.
Pei Wu remained silent for a long time, but when they were almost home, she suddenly spoke up: "Although you are very capable, you can't be too careful."
"I know." Lu Xiwen was pleased, cleared his throat, and adopted a calm and mature demeanor. "Since you came into my life, my protection level has been at its highest."
Pei Wu: "I'll stew that blackfish for you when we get back."
"OK!"
About forty minutes later, Lu Xiwen was sitting at the dining table again, holding a plate.
The aunt was very surprised by this. She walked over to the sofa and said to Pei Wu, who was reading a book, "Mr. Pei, Mr. Lu really loves to eat fish."
“Yes.” Pei Wu chuckled. Moreover, according to Lu Xiwen, Tuanzi is now spending more and more time in his mind. After the master establishes a connection with the physical body, even if Tuanzi cannot be eaten, he can still feel the taste and pleasure of empathy.
That evening, Lu Xiwen kept making phone calls in his study.
When Pei Wu brought in the tea, Lan Zhe was reporting relevant information.
Lu Xi waved, casually placed his phone on the table, and put it on speakerphone.
Pei Wu put down his tea and was about to leave when Lu Xiwen pulled him onto his lap, took a deep sniff of the lisianthus scent from the Omega's neck, and then instructed Lan Zhe, "Continue."
Lan Zhe paused for a moment: "Assistant Pei?"
Pei Wu: "...Yes, good evening, Assistant Lan."
Lan Zhe has evolved; he can even express certain emotions through brief silences. For example, at this moment, Pei Wu seemed to be able to hear Lan Zhe's thoughts, and the words "Just as I thought" echoed in her ears.
Pei Wu: "..." This is toxic.
Lan Zhe spoke in a deep voice: "Chu Lin has a bachelor's degree. Although he is a high-ranking official, he is not proficient in his studies and is naturally combative. Therefore, he has been engaged in some gray-area activities for many years. The matter of the CEO of Hangyu Group being hospitalized after a car accident and then withdrawing from the bidding for Chengxi Garden City was his doing. According to the investigation results, his employer this time should be the Liu family of Haicheng, involving Lin Chen Pharmaceutical and Aila Biotechnology. President Fang Xiao has actually already encountered two terrorist threats. I have also informed President Fang of the trouble you are facing."
“Just let him focus on his research,” Lu Xiwen said. “Keep a close eye on those two companies.”
"clear."
After Lan Zhe hung up the phone, Pei Wu spoke softly, "You don't seem to have much hostility towards Chu Lin."
Admittedly, he was beaten half to death by the other side on their first meeting, but Lu Xiwen clearly showed mercy.
“He’s driven by money, and he’s crazy at heart,” Lu Xiwen said. “His pheromones smell like gunpowder; he’s obviously mentally ill.”
What if the dog gets cornered and does something rash, endangering Pei Wu?
It hasn't come to that point yet.

The threat seems to have come to an end. Given Chu Lin's temperament, he should prioritize survival and leave Hongdu.
That afternoon, Pei Wu went to a club to deliver documents to the manager who was in the middle of the night. After sitting down and drinking half a cup of tea, he planned to return to the company.
Today, his schedule differed from Lu Xiwen's; Alpha took Lan Zhe to handle another matter.
Pei Wu had just come out of the private room when she came face to face with Cao Guan across from her.
Pei Wu: "President Cao?"
"Don't be so formal." Cao Guan, who had been leaning against the wall with a rather aloof air, immediately took the cigarette from his mouth when he saw Pei Wu and greeted her with a smile, "What a coincidence, are you here on business?"
"Yes, I sent a document."
“Perfect timing,” Cao Guan said. “Kuang Junmeng and the others are upstairs. Let’s play together for a while.”
Pei Wu didn't hesitate much: "Okay."
Unless you're a regular young master like Kuang Junmeng, you usually have to book the private rooms upstairs half a month in advance. When Pei Wu pushed open the door, the room was filled with smoke.
Kuang Jun, with a cigarette tucked behind his ear, was shaking dice with a flushed face and shouting, "You've been out for fresh air for over ten minutes, Cao Guan, are you getting old?"
Cao Guan: "Are you asking for a beating again?"
Kuang Junmeng turned his head to look, but as soon as his eyes met Pei Wu's, he immediately got off the table and called to the people around him, "Stop smoking, stop smoking." Then he snatched the cigarette from a guy who was breathing and stubbed it out, "Sitting here for five minutes and watching you smoke four cigarettes, you're the epitome of black lungs."
"Why did you suddenly come over?" Kuang Junmeng gestured for Pei Wu to sit down. "Would you like something to drink?"
Pei Wu: "Same as you guys."
“That won’t do.” Kuang Junmeng instructed the waiter, “Bring me one of everything: fruit juice, tea, and sparkling water. I want your signature drinks.”
Pei Wu couldn't stop him at all.
Pei Wu's hospitalization had startled Kuang Junmeng and the others. They couldn't understand how the two, who were fine just yesterday, had ended up in the hospital. After hearing the whole story from Guan Yan, they were even more disappointed. Lu Xi thought that this good-for-nothing had finally blossomed, and Pei Wu was so shrewd and resourceful. At this crucial moment, they couldn't afford to make a mistake and had to help their brother keep him here.
Of course, Kuang Junmeng truly considered Pei Wu a friend.
Pei Wu quickly set out a row of items on the table, and casually picked up a glass of juice to drink.
Kuang Junmeng was tapping his phone, saying, "I'll call Guan Yan over. He previously said he didn't want to play with us smelly Alphas."
Alphas can indeed lose control of their pheromones when excited, releasing a variety of scents, plus the smell of smoke and alcohol, so calling them "stinky" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
An Alpha who was close to Pei Wu but meeting him for the first time cautiously asked Cao Guan, "Brother Cao, are you sure he's an Omega? Why doesn't he react to the smell in this private room at all?"
Cao Guan: "Guess?"
Are you kidding me, my top-tier pheromone barrier?
When Pei Wu was a Beta, Lu Xiwen only applied one layer of pheromones to him. After he differentiated, Lu Xiwen applied several layers of pheromones to him every day, as if he were applying putty, afraid that others would disturb Pei Wu, and also afraid that Pei Wu's pheromones would leak and attract some tactless people.
"Brother Cao, can we talk?" the man asked again. After all, Pei Wu was really eye-catching. The dazzling lights above her head could not hide her eyes and brows, which were full of the charm of mountains and rivers, and were also aloof and cold, like white porcelain.
Kuang Shao took good care of him, but his manner was not ambiguous, which made people eager to try their luck.
Cao Guan: "He can die."
"..."
Guan Yan arrived twenty minutes later.
As soon as I entered, I covered my nose in disgust.
Kuang Junmeng: "Can you stop being so discouraging? I've had the air purifier on for ages."
Guan Yan: "There are too many unpleasant pheromones."
The AOE attack made the group of Alphas present lose confidence, but no one dared to say anything to Guan Yan. If they were resented, they would be skinned alive and thoroughly dealt with later.
Guan Yanli sat down neatly beside Pei Wu.
