Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Lu Hean is a mean person! ...
The day after Pei Shuyu lost contact, the entire Saifan organization was in an uproar.
A group of people gathered together, chattering.
Xiao Qingyang slammed his fist on the conference table and stood up, saying indignantly: "I said that Lu Hean had bad intentions! Look! The boss went to Cairns yesterday! He disappeared that night! Who would believe it if he said it had nothing to do with Lu Hean!"
The man next to him pushed up his glasses and said, "The key is that we currently have no direct evidence to prove that the boss was abducted by Lu He'an. Look, the surveillance camera captured the boss driving away after he came out, and then disappeared after driving into a blind spot. Moreover, our people went to Cairns to seek an explanation yesterday, and their surveillance camera happened to be broken and was being repaired yesterday. We can only say that Lu He'an is the primary suspect."
Xiao Qingyang yelled, "How could it be such a coincidence! It just happened to break down yesterday! Doesn't this mean something is wrong? This video is a composite, right? If Pei Shuyu hadn't been kidnapped by Lu Hean, I would have eaten this table! Fu Zhouxing! What do you think?"
In the shadows, Fu Zhouxing lay in a recliner, eyes closed, legs stretched out carelessly. A gilded copy of "The Art of Language" lay facedown on his face. Hearing someone call his name, he plucked the book from his face with his slender white knuckles.
"It's so noisy."
Xiao Qingyang said "Hey" and walked over. "Master Fu, do you have any opinions?"
Fu Zhouxing yawned lazily and sat up. "Why rush? First, block the news of Pei Shuyu's disappearance. Tell the public that he's unwell and recuperating. Besides, it's better for him to fall into Lu He'an's hands than into the hands of the rebels. At most, Lu He'an will dig up old scores. After all, the two of them had a good relationship before, and it's impossible for him to really do anything to Pei Shuyu."
"Rather than worrying about them, we should worry about the rebels' recent moves at the border."
Xiao Qingyang choked. That was true. They were just ex-boyfriends now, so no matter how serious the situation was, it wouldn't escalate to a level that threatened personal safety. Even if it did, it wouldn't be a threat to their boss.
But I heard that when they were breaking up, Pei Shuyu was so angry at Lu He'an's stubborn attitude that he smashed a pair of porcelain dolls—their tokens of love. Lu He'an, young and impetuous, immediately picked up the broken pieces and slashed them against his glands. Pei Shuyu tried to grab them with his bare hands, but his hand was cut and bleeding. Lu He'an wasn't much better off; although he was blocked, he still sustained injuries around his glands.
When Xiao Qingyang rushed to the scene after grabbing a late-night snack, he saw only a mess and Lu He'an supporting Pei Shuyu. One's hands were bloodied and oozing. Another's collar was bloodstained and tears welled up. Xiao Qingyang thought Lu He'an had actually dug out his glands, and he was so frightened that he immediately called the Alliance Emergency Number.
The midnight snacks he bought were not used, and no one ate them. Then the kid Lu Hean fainted from excessive blood loss.
He was the one who carried him downstairs. Pei Shuyu's distraught look was still vivid in his mind. He was the one who said two alphas couldn't talk. Something had happened, right? Oh, right. Lu Hean's best friend had also come that day, and he and that playboy had almost come to blows. Xiao Qingyang still felt sick when he thought about it.
Generally speaking, couples break up on good terms, and some even die together. Lu Hean is an exception; he falls into neither category.
Xiao Qingyang couldn't help but think: Is it really better to fall into the hands of a madman like Lu Hean than to fall into the hands of the rebels?
After organizing a joint discussion among several people, everyone agreed that Lu Hean was angry about being dumped by the boss, so he planned this.
Lu He'an is a villain!
Suffering from a lack of evidence, they decided to secretly investigate for evidence and then bring the evidence to the suspect's home to demand his release.
Fu Zhouxing agreed perfunctorily, then turned to look at the tallest building not far away, his eyes dim and unclear.
The rebels have been making subtle moves lately. Rather than subtle moves, they're testing the waters, testing the attitudes of all parties. Once news of Pei Shuyu's disappearance gets out, they'll likely become even more brazen.
He could probably guess what Lu Hean wanted.
These two people are really interesting.
Fu Zhouxing covered the book again and continued to rest.
The hour hand pointed to 11 o'clock and the time was announced: It is now 11:00 noon, Alliance time.
Pei Shuyu paced back and forth in the living room, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing against each other. A rapid fluttering sound echoed in his ears, and suddenly a flock of white pigeons passed by in the distance. Their wings flapped vigorously, tracing graceful arcs through the air. Pei Shuyu looked up at the white feathers gradually dissolving into tiny points of light.
He had just tested the area of his movement. No matter where he went, the control ring on his ankle remained silent, and the alarm would only sound when he approached that room.
Pei Shuyu looked up and met the camera overhead. He had actually noticed it the moment he left the room. It was a miniature camera, without a red glow, and extremely concealed. It was something from the Alliance Army, so it would be impossible to spot it without careful observation.
He returned to the room and picked up the communicator. He was a little skeptical that Lu Hean would leave him a communication device, so he tried to call Xiao Qingyang first.
Three beeps, and the call was connected.
Pei Shuyu never expected that the call would be connected. He was worried that Lu Hean would come back suddenly, so when the call was connected, he said directly: "I was kidnapped by Lu Hean."
“…”
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the person on the other end of the phone. Pei Shuyu called a few more times, with a bad feeling in his heart.
Did the other person seem to be laughing? A joking voice rang out, "Captain Pei, calling me kidnapped is too harsh. I just invited you here as a guest. Aren't you still free to move around?"
Pei Shuyu: ...
The bad premonition came true.
Although I didn't hold much hope, I still gave up when I heard Lu Hean's voice.
After a long time, Pei Shuyu hung up the phone.
There is no doubt that Lu Hean must have set the permissions, so no matter who he calls, the call will eventually go to Lu Hean's mobile phone.
Then we can only wait for Lu Hean to come back before making any plans.
The previous breakup was indeed unpleasant. Perhaps if they had talked frankly, the outcome would have been different.
Seeing that the communication had been interrupted, Lu Hean calmly put the phone away, as if the people around him were air. The people on the other side looked at each other in confusion, and even Xiao Ji was trying hard to control his expression.
The man on the other side finally lost his patience and demanded, "Colonel Lu, you know Saifan's power is expanding. If we don't curb it, our interests will continue to shrink. Pei Shuyu is his right-hand man. Getting rid of him won't do us any harm."
Lu Hean nonchalantly tapped his phone screen, not even raising his eyelids, continuing his irritating demeanor to the end. The man opposite took a deep breath, tapped the table, and continued through gritted teeth, "But Colonel Lu is hiding him now. Why?"
Xiao Ji glanced at his boss with a forced smile. The boss still looked like he didn't care what they were talking about.
It's a bit of a tough life. Boss, you have to choose the right time to use your phone. He secretly nudged Lu Hean with his elbow.
Lu Hean put his phone away and crossed his arms on the table. His tone was somewhat serious. "Why? I just seized Pei Shuyu's supplies. If anything happens to him now, I'll be the prime suspect. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If Cairns and Sefan fall at the same time, you can just sit back and reap the benefits."
The other party obviously didn't expect this. Lu Hean actually said it so directly? Several people exchanged glances.
"Then may I ask why Colonel Lu is detaining Sefan's supplies?"
This time, Lu Hean didn't want to pretend anymore. He sneered as if he had heard a funny joke, "How stupid."
The man opposite him was about to stand up angrily, "You!" Seeing this, the people around him pulled him back and shook their heads secretly.
"The supplies are overweight, and as an alliance law enforcement officer, I must perform my duties. In short, now is not the best time to get rid of Pei Shuyu. I advise you not to act on your own. I don't like to cooperate with people who have no sense of contract." Lu Hean's tone was casual but with a majesty that could not be ignored.
No one would be so foolish as to offend Lu Hean. This sentence is widely circulated in the alliance area.
Regardless of how the discussion went on, Lu Hean always had the upper hand. He could refute any question raised by the other party with a sharp angle. The negotiation ended abruptly.
In summary, everything our Colonel Lu did was for a reason and was beneficial to the development of both sides. Their random guesses affected the overall situation and were foolish, and they were also reprimanded for not following orders.
No matter how dissatisfied I am, I dare not show it and can only swallow my anger.
On the way back, Xiao Ji was still reviewing the content of the negotiations.
He didn't understand one thing, and his eyes were wandering and he looked back from time to time.
Lu Hean calmly gazed out the window. A row of sycamore trees grew lush and green, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the asphalt road. Pedestrians on the road were in pairs, and a couple riding a bicycle together caught his attention.
The rider in front was dressed in a school uniform, his jacket billowing in the breeze, a testament to his youthful abandon. The rider behind him wore a suit, his legs splayed out behind the saddle, his attire completely out of place on the bike. His arm was still around the waist of the boy in front. Light and shadow, shaped by the leaves, fell on them, passing by them like flowing water.
The car quickly overtook the bicycle. Lu Hean retracted his gaze and caught Xiao Ji's frequent glances back through the mirror. He said, "Just say what you want to ask."
Xiao Ji coughed awkwardly twice, then restored his usual polite smile: "Boss, are the things you said during the negotiation true?"
Lu Hean: "What?"
Xiao Ji had no choice but to explain in more detail: "It means seizing Saifan's supplies..."
Lu Hean frowned. "Xiao Ji, how long have you been with me? Maintaining a separation between work and personal matters is fundamental. You can't deliberately give them a pass just because they had a past with me." He emphasized the "past." "Our mission at Cairns is to maintain peace in the alliance. The interests of the alliance come first, nothing else matters."
Could that gangster look that haunted him last time be a secondary personality? Xiao Ji suppressed his doubts and nodded, "I understand, Boss."
"Go to my house, the new one I bought."
"yes."
Lu He'an had been busy for the past few years, acquiring some personal property. His father had also arranged a few houses for him, but he hadn't taken any. He hadn't renovated any of them and spent most of his time sleeping at the base.
Strangely enough, although Lu Hean is a young master, he does not have any young master disease. Like everyone else in the team, he can sleep well by sleeping on the floor with a thin blanket.
When he first arrived on the team, everyone knew Lu Hean's background. They thought he was a backdoor recruit and looked down on him. Later, Lu Hean proved himself through his actions, not only achieving first place in every event during training but also completing tasks in an orderly and flawless manner.
Finally, they bonded with their comrades. As the sun set that day, one suggested a group photo. They stood in a row, saluting as the setting sun blanketed the sky, casting a veil of orange and red on each of them. The camera captured this moment, capturing their happiest moments.
After Lu Hean took the photo away from the base, it has been placed in Tianjing Huating.
Pei Shuyu also discovered it by accident. He originally wanted to find some other clues. One can't just sit and wait for death.
After searching for a while, they found a wooden photo frame on the living room cabinet. Pei Shuyu didn't have any habit of prying into other people's privacy, but when he saw Lu Hean's genuine smile in the Alliance uniform for the first time, he couldn't help but grab the photo frame.
The Lu Hean pictured here has the shadow of when they first got together, and his temperament is completely different from the current Colonel Lu.
He fumbled with the frame, noticing the other people in the photo.
These people... look so familiar...
Before I could think about it, I heard the sound of the door unlocking at the entrance behind me.
"What are you doing?"
