Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Truth or Dare
After several days of observation by the doctor, Xiao Qingyang, who only suffered minor skin injuries, was discharged from the hospital as if nothing had happened.
As soon as he got out of bed, he jumped around like a wild horse and ran to Pei Shuyu.
"Boss! I'm fine!" Xiao Qingyang shouted at the top of his voice, his face filled with a sense of pride in surviving a disaster.
Pei Shuyu didn't want to pay any attention to him. Xiao Qingyang seemed to be missing a nerve, and he didn't know how he could live this long. But Xiao Qingyang was so carefree that he kept showing off his figure in front of Pei Shuyu, lifting up his clothes as he spoke, "Boss, look! I had a little belly fat before, but after this, hey, it's all gone!"
"Shut up." Fu Zhouxing kicked him suddenly from behind, his tone full of disdain, "Don't block the way here."
Xiao Qingyang knew that he could not beat Fu Zhouxing, so he could only make a face at him and quickly move aside.
Fu Zhou walked forward and carefully helped Pei Shuyu up. He then opened the thermos box beside him. It was steaming hot and emitting bursts of fresh aroma. "Have some chicken soup. The nanny at home made it and sent it here specially. Drink it and take the medicine."
When Xiao Qingyang heard this, he immediately came over, his face full of grievance, "Huh? Why don't I have it? Fu Zhouxing! Is this how you treat your own brothers?"
"You don't have it? What do you need to supplement? Oh, I almost forgot, you really need to supplement it." Fu Zhouxing deliberately dragged out the tone, with a mischievous smile on his face, and then pretended to make a phone call, "I will notify the housekeeper to send you some pig brains to supplement your brain." As he spoke, the number had already been dialed.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingyang quickly snatched the phone away and hung up, angrily cursing, "You're crazy!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Pei Shuyu held his head and hissed.
This sound made the two people quiet down instantly. They quickly separated and gathered around Pei Shuyu's bed with concerned faces.
"My head hurts again." Fu Zhouxing frowned, looking worried.
"Boss, are you okay?" Xiao Qingyang also echoed, his face full of anxiety.
Will it be alright? Pei Shuyu secretly complained in his heart. He was so annoyed now. Looking at the two people in front of him with their overly concerned eyes, Pei Shuyu felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After staring at them for several seconds, he finally said, "Do me a favor."
"You say." Fu Zhouxing agreed without even asking any further questions.
If anyone dares to disobey and acts alone like last time, he will not be able to bear it.
Xiao Qingyang was not willing to be outdone. He once again showed off his biceps and patted his chest to assure, "Boss, just tell me. I'll take care of it!"
Pei Shuyu looked at them, was silent for a moment, and uttered a few words: "You two go out, let me rest in peace for a while."
Xiao Qingyang: ...
Fu Zhouxing: ...
After the two of them left, the door to the ward slowly closed, isolating the outside sounds and leaving only silence. Pei Shuyu leaned against the headboard of the bed, his eyes looking out the window, his thoughts tangled like a tangled mess.
Lu Hean's amnesia, like the eerie calm before the storm, sent a wave of unease flooding through him. He could probably guess that the traitors were behind the explosion. He knew full well that, with their vindictive nature, they wouldn't give up easily. If he failed to take him away this time, there would be another.
Pei Shuyu thought to himself that he was in the open while the enemy was in the dark, so they had to be careful with every step they took. If they were not careful, they might fall into an irretrievable situation.
The rebels were like a heavy stone weighing on his heart.
Pei Shuyu moved his legs and arms with difficulty, but because he was out of strength, he lay back down exhausted.
The most urgent thing is to take good care of your health.
He had indeed taken a risk last time, and he couldn't just watch Guan Zicen being locked up.
In this way, Pei Shuyu was recuperating in the hospital while handling official business, and he hadn't heard from Lu Hean for a long time.
During this period, I have been paying attention to the omega disappearance case.
The ward was so quiet that the only sounds were the rustling of papers as Pei Shuyu flipped through the documents and the occasional subtle beeps from the medical equipment. He leaned against the headboard, his expression stern, his gaze focused on the documents in his hands, occasionally picking up a pen to circle and draw on them.
Just as he signed a document, Fu Zhouxing walked in, holding a thermos box. "Are you still busy? Eat something first. This is the porridge that Wang Ma made especially for you." Fu Zhouxing put the thermos box on the table beside him and started to get something out. "I'm starting to doubt that you're the one who pays Wang Ma a salary. Why do you care so much about me?"
Pei Shuyu didn't even look up, but simply replied, "Leave it there. I'll eat it later. How's the situation with the A-level omegas lately? Any news from the rebels?"
Fu Zhouxing frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "No, ever since the last explosion, those people have disappeared without a trace. However, I have arranged for people to secretly protect those omegas, and they will notify me immediately if there is any news."
Pei Shuyu put down his pen, leaned back on the pillow, and rubbed his brow. "These people might be capturing omegas for some illegal experiment. We must not let our guard down until we catch them. They suffered a loss that time, and they will definitely not let it go."
As he was speaking, Xiao Qingyang rushed in, "Boss, I got some news!" He was running out of breath, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead.
Pei Shuyu and Fu Zhouxing looked at him at the same time, and Pei Shuyu asked, "What news? Don't keep me in suspense."
Xiao Qingyang took the teacup beside him and gulped down a few sips of water. "Don't be anxious."
He calmed his breath and said, "I heard that Lu Hean has been asking Qiao Zhishi to meet up frequently recently, saying that it's to get more contact so that he can recover his memory. I guess Yu Jingheng must be behind this. If Lu Hean continues like this, he will never be able to recover his memory in his lifetime."
Pei Shuyu's eyes dimmed and he sat up straight. "That's all? Have you found out anything about the people who kidnapped the A-level omegas?"
Xiao Qingyang scratched his head and said with some annoyance, "I haven't found anything yet. They're hiding very deeply. But I've asked my brothers to continue digging deeper, and there should be news soon."
Fu Zhouxing, who was leaning against the wall, also had a serious expression on his face. He analyzed, "If the amnesiac Lu Hean joins forces with the rebels, things will be troublesome. We must be prepared in advance and not be caught off guard by them."
We should have made plans earlier. Keynes belongs to a neutral organization. If he can't be used by Sevan, then we must not allow him to ally with the rebels.
Pei Shuyu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "From now on, strengthen all aspects of vigilance, especially Saifan's security system. Fu Zhouxing, you will be responsible for deploying manpower to ensure that everything is safe. Xiao Qingyang, you will continue to monitor Lu Hean's movements and inform me immediately of any signs of trouble."
"Yes!" they both answered in unison.
Pei Shuyu looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.
He couldn't sit there and wait for death any longer. He had been lying there long enough.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital." His tone was firm, revealing an unquestionable determination.
The news that Captain Pei insisted on being discharged from the hospital despite everyone's dissuasion reached Sevan.
Out of respect and concern for him, the people of Sevan insisted on holding a banquet for him, saying that it was to welcome him back and also to celebrate his safe passage through the crisis.
In the end, the banquet was held in a stylish bar.
Inside the bar, the lights were dim and the sound of music flowed through the air just right. Pei Shuyu, dressed in a well-tailored black suit and standing tall, stood out from the crowd.
He moved among the crowd with a calm expression, occasionally showing a polite smile and greeting those who came to greet him.
He had originally planned to wear something casual, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of his brothers, who took turns trying to persuade him. Pei Shuyu compromised not for his brothers' sake, but because they were too noisy.
Because he couldn't drink alcohol yet, Pei Shuyu drank tea instead. After a night of drinking, his bladder was about to burst. He made up an excuse, saying he felt dizzy and needed to sit down for a while to rest.
No one suspected him and just let him go.
Pei Shuyu rested for a while, planning to sneak away in the dim light. As long as he slipped away, even if they called him, he could find an excuse saying that he was physically exhausted, etc.
Anyway, it’s impossible for those people to catch him back.
Thinking of this, Pei Shuyu immediately took action. He turned around and was about to slip out through the back door. At this moment, he didn't notice that there was someone behind him and bumped into the person.
"I'm sorry." Pei Shuyu said subconsciously.
"It doesn't matter."
A voice sounded, with the clarity of a teenager, yet revealing the steadiness of a mature man.
The moment he heard the voice, Pei Shuyu was stunned. He looked up to see clearly, but the lights in the bar flickered and were colorful, so he couldn't see clearly.
He definitely didn't hear it wrong, it was Lu Hean.
On Saifan's side, someone keenly noticed that Pei Shuyu had disappeared without a trace. Someone in the crowd frantically suggested, "Where's Pei Shuyu? He's gone! Quick, turn off those fancy lights and turn on the ceiling lights!"
In an instant, the originally hazy and brilliant lights came to an abrupt end, replaced by a dazzling white light, like a sharp sword, hitting Pei Shuyu and Lu Hean directly.
Pei Shuyu instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes. The sudden bright light made him feel a little uncomfortable. After adjusting to the light, he slowly lowered his hand, his eyes showing a hint of vigilance and calmness.
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he just stood there in a daze.
Lu Hean looked like he was out for a trip, casually wearing a white shirt with the collar slightly open, which made him look less serious than usual and more casual.
It really looks the same as when we first met.
As Pei Shuyu's eyes met Lu Hean's, time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the scenes from a few years ago flooded into his mind like a tide.
Even though Pei Shuyu had been hiding, their encounter was inevitable. Just like Lu Hean at that time, he suddenly appeared in his world, full of youthfulness and recklessness.
Pei Shuyu was a bit flustered, using one hand to cover half of his face, under the pretense of the bright lights. The last time they met at the boxing gym, even though he'd disguised himself, he still felt guilty.
"Shuyu? Why are you here?" Dashan hurried over to pull him away, seeing through Pei Shuyu's inner thoughts at a glance, "Are you trying to sneak away? That won't do! Come on, have some tea!"
Pei Shuyu sighed inwardly, nodded helplessly, and had to follow him forward.
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he felt as if he was under the spotlight. Not to mention slipping away, even a small action like raising his hand would attract countless eyes and make him feel uneasy.
Lu Hean walked straight towards Pei Shuyu, his eyes focused and blazing, the surrounding clamor seemingly unaffected by him. As he stood firmly before Pei Shuyu, the people around him seemed to have keenly sensed the change in the subtle atmosphere, and instantly fell silent. Eyes began to flicker between the two of them, filled with curiosity and speculation.
Pei Shuyu appeared calm on the surface, but he was extremely nervous inside.
Was he recognized?
He secretly clenched his fists, his heartbeat unconsciously quickened, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Hean, not knowing what he was going to do.
However, no one expected that just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what would happen next, Lu Hean would suddenly turn around and sit down at the nearby booth without even looking back. Pei Shuyu was left stunned, while everyone around him looked at each other in confusion.
"He An, you are late." Yu Jingheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Lu Hean sat down casually, crossed one leg over the other, and leaned back slightly. "No, the lights were too bright and I didn't see you."
The sound of their conversation was clearly heard in this noisy environment. In a corner where no one could see, Pei Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Dashan and his friends found Pei Shuyu quickly. Since they had found him, they stopped turning on the lamp and restored the bar to its previous fancy lights, continuing to celebrate for Pei Shuyu in a lively manner.
At this time, Xiao Qingyang, who had witnessed the whole process, rolled his eyes and secretly gave Fu Zhouxing a wink.
Fu Zhouxing saw this, but just rolled his eyes, his expression seemed to say "How boring". But Xiao Qingyang was not discouraged. Instead, he took the initiative to stand up enthusiastically, and shouted louder: "Hey hey hey! Everyone, let's play a game!"
After attracting everyone's attention, he proudly announced loudly, "Truth or Dare! How about it, do you want to join us?"
Pei Shuyu's heart was filled with alarm.
