Chapter 78 Chapter 78 "Who are you calling Ah Cai?"...
A few hours later, Xiao Qingyang returned to Sevan in a daze.
A group of people came out to support.
Looking at those young men who survived the disaster, Xiao Qingyang still refused to believe it.
How could Pei Shuyu possibly...
Shang Xu wanted to arrange for them to go down and rest, but Xiao Qingyang suddenly grabbed Shang Xu's hand and said, "Lu He'an, Lu He'an is dead..."
"What!?"
Now, President Lu had lost his wife and his son. Without a body, even a funeral was a hassle. All his rage was directed at Saifan, and the internal chaos within Saifan was already widespread. There was nothing he could do but endure the wrath.
The funeral was simple, but the news coverage was huge.
Yu Jingheng learned the news, which was also on the news. He said with a look of sorrow, "Rest in peace, my good brother Lu He'an."
Because this matter is of great importance, the Alliance Center has already received this news.
Send an alliance investigation team to bring Lin Kong back. Other organizations are not allowed to interfere. Ke Bai is fully responsible.
When Ke Bai came to Saifan to inquire about the situation, he saw that the atmosphere in Saifan was like a funeral.
Although it is inappropriate to say this, the one who died was Lu Hean, why make it seem like someone died in Sefan?
Ke Bai sought out the kidnapped individuals to understand their circumstances, but their descriptions were all garbled. Finally, he sought out Xiao Qingyang, and with Lu Jianchuan's guidance, they entered the dormitory. Xiao Qingyang, indeed, had seen a lot.
He told the whole story again.
After Ke Bai and Lu Jianchuan heard this.
The worldview, like Xiao Qingyang's, collapsed and reorganized again and again.
"Uh..." Ke Bai excused Pei Shuyu: "It must be because your Saifan's salary is too low that Pei Shuyu chose to change jobs... Pei Shuyu is not that kind of person."
Who would describe this as job hopping?!
Lu Jianchuan: ...I guess if Pei Shuyu puts the knife on Ke Bai’s neck, Ke Bai will say he is joking with him.
Xiao Qingyang really thought about it seriously, "I also believe that Pei Shuyu is not such a person... Maybe his salary is really too low... So, I will talk to the leader and double his salary again and again. Do you think he will come back?" He asked naively.
Lu Jianchuan was silent.
Ke Bai answered seriously, "Yeah, maybe."
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Jianchuan shook his head and stood up, there was no way to save these two.
Another half month passed and the weather became even colder.
Ke Bai has been trying to contact and negotiate with the rebel party.
But during this period, the rebels seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth, without causing any trouble, and their traces were nowhere to be found.
At first, Lin Kong was not willing to study any medicine, until Zhou Ting told him that if there was no progress, he would send a part of Lu Hean's body to him every once in a while.
Lin Kong angrily smashed some instruments, and then agreed to his request.
Under Zhou Ting's constant surveillance, Lin Kong toiled tirelessly in the lab. Pei Shuyu would visit him every few days, though the two of them never communicated. Lin Kong had quickly lost a significant amount of weight due to his refusal to eat or drink. Pei Shuyu became the one to bring him food, and the mute remained by his side.
A few days later, Lin Kong did produce an extremely unstable semi-finished medicine, which barely proved the "progress" of the research and temporarily stabilized Zhou Ting.
After another period of agonizing days, Lin Kong finally told Zhou Ting that the complete version of the medicine that could achieve self-sufficiency in omeg has been successfully developed, and all the core data is stored in an encrypted USB flash drive.
However, clinical trials were needed, and he suggested that a live experiment demonstration could be conducted in public the next day.
Zhou Ting was overjoyed when he heard this, as his long-cherished wish was about to come true.
He immediately decided to hold a grand banquet in the stronghold, both to celebrate his success and to show all his men his impending "victory".
During the day he is the founder of Sevan, and at night he returns to his original nature.
The banquet hall is located in a castle-like place.
I heard that the rebel leader would come here to celebrate any good thing.
After careful arrangement, the long table was filled with various drinks and food that Acai had bought.
Most of the members of the rebel party were in high spirits, and the noise filled the entire hall.
Zhou Ting, wearing a mask and a voice changer, stood at the main seat. He raised his glass and said loudly, "Today is a day worth remembering! We are about to usher in a brand new era!"
He looked at Pei Shuyu, who was sitting not far away, his eyes filled with admiration and subtle scrutiny: "Shuyu, you've made a great contribution this time! Don't worry, follow me, and you will definitely have a lofty position in the new order of alpha supremacy in the future!"
Pei Shuyu humbly poured him a glass of wine and said, "It's all thanks to you."
Everyone cheered and raised their glasses, and the atmosphere was warm.
Pei Shuyu wore a modest smile and raised his glass, but didn't drink. Halfway through the banquet, he stood up and whispered to Zhou Ting, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Zhou Ting smiled and nodded, but the moment Pei Shuyu turned and left, he winked at the mute Acai who had been standing in the corner like a shadow.
Acai immediately understood and followed silently.
Pei Shuyu walked to the bathroom, and Ah Cai followed him nearby, leaning against the wall and waiting. Pei Shuyu stayed in there for more than ten minutes, then walked out, nodded to Ah Cai, and the two of them returned to the banquet hall together.
However, before the banquet was completely over, a member of the rebel party who was responsible for delivering food rushed in, his face pale and shouting, "Oh no! Oh no! Lin Kong... Lin Kong knocked out the guard and ran away with the USB drive!"
Because Lin Kong said that his laboratory cannot have any electronic equipment other than instruments, otherwise it will affect the experimental results. As a result, there are no surveillance cameras around the laboratory.
"What?!" The smile on Zhou Ting's face froze instantly. He slammed the table and stood up. The wine glass was knocked over and the red wine spilled all over the table.
His sharp eyes immediately swept over Pei Shuyu who had just returned, and his tone was cold: "You just left the banquet. Did you let him go?"
Pei Shuyu faced the accusation without a trace of panic on his face. He even directly admitted part of the facts: "Yes, I left. I did initially think about letting Lin Kong go."
Before he finished speaking, Ah Cai immediately took out a pistol and pointed it at Pei Shuyu's head!
"But," Pei Shuyu ignored the gun barrel that was so close to him and said firmly, "I didn't do that. And I had already anticipated that Lin Kong might move. So, when I left to look for him just now, I placed a locator on him."
Pei Shuyu called up the terminal, and there was a small red dot moving quickly on it.
Zhou Ting's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand and sternly rebuked the henchman holding the gun: "Acai! Stop! Put the gun down!"
Acai put away the gun, his eyes still fixed on Pei Shuyu.
Pei Shuyu looked at Zhou Ting and said sincerely, "Please trust me. I will take people after him now and will definitely bring Lin Kong and the USB drive back to you."
Without further ado, Zhou Ting immediately called on several people, including Ah Cai and Pei Shuyu, to quickly chase after him based on the signal displayed by the locator. The locator signal showed that Lin Kong had fled to an abandoned industrial area outside the base.
In an alley filled with discarded pipes, they spotted two figures leading Lin Kong in a panic. There was no cover, making it easy to aim.
Pei Shuyu raised his pistol without hesitation and aimed——
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, Lin Kong was shot in the leg and fell to the ground, and the USB flash drive in his hand fell not far away.
The person who was running away with him was forced to stop and was also captured.
Pei Shuyu quickly stepped forward, kicked the man away, then squatted down and picked up the USB drive.
Someone nearby used a portable device to record the scene of Pei Shuyu picking up the USB drive and Lin Kong falling to the ground.
This video has existed since Pei Shuyu started. Zhou Ting is very suspicious and will magnify any small clues.
On the way back, one of the men who was originally responsible for guarding Lin Kong looked at the "Lin Kong" who was carried back and muttered quietly, "Strange... It feels like Professor Lin seems... a lot lighter?"
Pei Shuyu remained calm as he wiped the USB drive while explaining in a matter-of-fact tone, "How could he gain weight if he didn't eat or drink during these days of experiments?"
His explanation was reasonable. The minion scratched his head and said nothing more.
Zhou Ting took the USB flash drive from Pei Shuyu, looked at the encrypted data inside, and then watched the video. A smile finally appeared on his face again, and he patted Pei Shuyu on the shoulder: "Well done!"
"I shot Professor Lin Kong in the leg. Ah Cai has already taken him away to get bandaged."
"Well, as long as he's not dead." Zhou Ting seemed to notice the person behind him, "Then this is..."
Pei Shuyu pushed the man he had captured forward again. "This is the accomplice who helped the professor escape. We caught him, and we just happened to need clinical trials, didn't we?" He took off the hood, revealing Ke Bai's face. "Ke Bai, he just happens to be an omega."
Zhou Ting certainly knew who Ke Bai was. If this experiment could even manipulate an omega like Ke Bai at will...
"Do you want to go to the lab now and try it out?"
Pei Shuyu asked while holding the USB drive.
Just in case, Zhou Ting thought he should try it first.
When Ke Bai heard that he was going to be experimented on, he started to grumble. Although he didn't know what he was saying, he felt that the scolding was very unpleasant. Pei Shuyu took the cloth from his mouth and wanted to hear what he said.
"Pei Shuyu! You bastard! You traitor! The entire alliance is ashamed of you! You... wuwuwu!"
Acai came back and stuffed the cloth back into his pocket.
Pei Shuyu led the way in front, Zhou Ting followed behind, and Acai followed at the end, dragging Ke Bai, who continued to resist.
The USB flash drive is not only a data storage device, but also an electronic key to open the constant temperature safe deep in the laboratory.
The safe door slid open, letting out cool air. Inside were neatly stacked rows of medicines with a faint blue sheen.
Zhou Ting picked up a needle at random, the cold tip gleaming in the light. He gestured to Ah Cai to hold down Ke Bai, who was still struggling, and personally injected the drug into Ke Bai's vein.
The moment the medicine was injected, Ke Bai's body suddenly tensed up, and then began to twitch violently, with a painful whimper coming from his throat.
After just over ten seconds, all his struggles stopped, his eyes became empty and lifeless, and he stood there stiffly like a puppet with its soul taken away.
Zhou Ting observed with interest and asked, "Who are you?"
Ke Bai's voice was calm and he replied flatly, "Ke Bai."
"Will you obey me completely and do whatever I tell you to do?"
"Yes."
Zhou Ting's eyes flashed with excitement. He picked up a scalpel on the laboratory table and handed it to Ke Bai: "Take it and make a cut on your arm."
Ke Bai took the scalpel without hesitation, his eyes still empty. He raised his arm and slashed the sharp blade down without hesitation. A blood mark immediately appeared on his forearm, and blood slowly oozed out.
And he didn't even frown.
"Great! That's great!" Zhou Ting laughed and clapped his hands, his face showing undisguised ecstasy. "The experiment was successful! This is true control! Omegas shouldn't have independent wills!"
He paced excitedly. His decades of planning had finally come true. He excitedly asked Pei Shuyu, "Did you see that? We succeeded!"
Zhou Ting was overwhelmed by the great excitement and did not notice Ke Bai's quietly clenched fists.
Because of the success of the experiment, Zhou Ting secretly organized a party. He wanted to show his results in front of these people!
Three days later, a conference room in the castle was set up.
The weather is very cloudy today. It's not a good day. It's supposed to rain.
Pei Shuyu stood upstairs and looked down.
After a while, a drizzle began to fall, and the road was not easy to walk on due to the rain and snow.
Many "mysterious guests" dressed in expensive clothes and wearing various masks on their faces arrived one after another. They were all Zhou Ting's secret collaborators and financial supporters for many years.
"It'd better be something to call us here."
"Do you know how big a meeting I pushed off? Why did you call us here?"
Zhou Ting stood at the head of the conference table, still wearing his mask. His voice, transmitted through a voice changer, was filled with allure: "Everyone, thank you for coming. Today, I will show you a weapon that can change the world!"
He signaled Pei Shuyu to bring Ke Bai up.
Zhou Ting took the USB drive and said, "All the core data is here, and you will soon be able to witness its effects with your own eyes!"
The excited eyes of the people below were like hungry wolves, emitting a faint green light.
The rain is getting heavier.
The heating is on in the conference room.
Acai pushed the reagent up, Zhou Ting took one and injected it into Ke Bai.
Looking at Ke Bai's dull eyes, he continued to give orders.
But this time, no matter what he said to Ke Bai, Ke Bai didn't react at all.
There was whispering below.
"What a waste of time..."
"That's it? Do you know how valuable my time is!"
Zhou Ting was also a little confused. Pei Shuyu approached and whispered, "Professor Ke Bai seems to have explained how to deal with this situation in the USB drive. Why not open it now and take a look."
Zhou Ting was already embarrassed by being questioned by his partners, and now there was a solution in front of him. He agreed without thinking.
However, when the USB drive was read, what appeared on the huge projection screen was not experimental data or solutions, but lines of crystal-clear accounting records. The time, location, and amount... detailed evidence of how Zhou Ting used the actions of the anti-Party as a cover to secretly embezzle and transfer huge amounts of funds from these "partners"!
There was an uproar in the conference hall!
"Zhou Ting! What do you mean?!" A man wearing an eagle-face mask stood up suddenly, his voice trembling with anger.
"You've been stealing our money?!" another voice rang out sharply.
"Asshole! Are you making fun of us?!"
Zhou Ting, who had been full of pride just now, froze in place in an instant. He turned his head abruptly, staring at Pei Shuyu in the audience with eyes like a poisonous snake. Looking at Pei Shuyu's sarcastic smile, he understood everything in an instant!
Pei Shuyu has been acting with him!
He almost roared his order: "Acai! Kill him! Kill Pei Shuyu immediately!"
"Acai", who had been standing beside Zhou Ting, moved.
But he did not point the gun at Pei Shuyu.
Zhou Ting felt something cold pressing against his temples.
"You...what do you mean?!" Zhou Ting felt the hardness of the gun barrel, his body stiffened, and he growled in disbelief.
"Acai" sneered, and with his free hand, he suddenly pulled off the human skin mask on his face, revealing the face that should have been dead.
Lu Hean's voice was filled with laughter. He tapped Zhou Ting's temples with the muzzle of his gun and asked, "Who are you calling Ah Cai?"
"You're not dead! How could you still be alive?! I clearly... the body is fake?!"
Pei Shuyu kindly explained to him, "The body is real, but it's Ah Cai's."
He had known for a long time that Zhou Ting would not trust him easily, so he took the initiative to ask for an assistant.
From the group of people, he chose someone with a similar build to Lu Hean.
Eating a lollipop is the signal for action.
When Pei Shuyu made the phone call, he deliberately revealed Acai's appearance so that they could make preparations in advance.
When exchanging hostages, he deliberately agreed to Lu He'an's request in order to fulfill Zhou Ting's third request, which was to kill Lu He'an with his own hands.
When he saw Ah Cai was about to shoot, he grabbed it because he had to fire the first shot to avoid being exposed.
As early as after getting off the cruise ship, the two of them spoke frankly.
"I think he will definitely attack you and Professor Lin." Pei Shuyu wrote and drew on a picture.
Lu Hean looked up and asked, "Why?"
Pei Shuyu held up the blueprint he had written and began to explain to Lu Hean, "Qiao Songyan and Meng He, these two things are actually related. One wants an omega to become an alpha, and the other wants an alpha to become an omega. Ultimately, it's all related to glands. The White Whale Differentiation Science Research Institute is responsible for studying ABO sex differentiation and genetic engineering."
Lu Hean listened carefully, but still couldn't figure out any problem.
Pei Shuyu continued, "I looked up the news about us being kidnapped when we were little, and I found out..."
Speaking of this, Lu Hean was stunned and interrupted him, "You remembered..."
"Well, no. He showed me the video on the cruise ship. You fainted at the time and didn't see it." Pei Shuyu shook his head honestly, although he knew Lu Hean would be disappointed.
Lu Hean was indeed very disappointed, his brows drooping. "So that's how it is..."
Pei Shuyu patted his head. "I found out that before the kidnapping, your father supported an experiment, but after the kidnapping, he changed his mind and the project was forced to stop. That experiment was proposed by a professor at the White Whale Differentiation Science Research Institute. It was your father."
Lu Hean probably understood why there was such a subtle atmosphere between his father and his father.
"So, what they want most must be your father's experimental data. Or, your father himself." Pei Shuyu finished explaining.
Lu Hean asked again: "Then why do you say there is another me?"
The pen tip poked several holes in the thin paper, and it was obvious that the person holding the pen was absent-minded. To be honest, Pei Shuyu didn't really want to talk about the past.
But with Lu Hean, there is nothing that cannot be said.
"This person probably has the same mentality as Hoss, repeating what he did before his failure. He failed to kill you more than ten years ago, so it's possible..."
Even without Pei Shuyu saying anything, Lu Hean understood.
"So what do I need to do?"
…
There was a fight between three people in the car.
Lu Hean, who should have been dead, suddenly stood up and strangled Acai from behind, causing him to faint briefly. The situation instantly reversed, becoming three against one. After stripping Acai of his clothes and replacing him with a human skin mask, Lu Hean quickly put on Acai's clothes, wearing a bulletproof vest underneath, with a broken blood bag hanging from it.
After everything was done, Lu Hean took the pistol and fired two shots at Acai's chest.
Lin Kong immediately took off the fake bomb from his waist and pretended to sleep.
If anyone asks, they just say they were shooting to detonate a bomb.
Even if the group of people already in the car wanted to suspect something, it was impossible for them to get out and check the bomb.
In this way, they returned to the rebel base by stealthily replacing one party with another.
Every time, Lu Hean would use Acai's identity to go out shopping and pass on clues.
They agreed to replace Professor Lin Kong on the night of the banquet.
And an omega is also needed.
Pei Shuyu was also troubled by the role of this omega. He didn't know which omega could play this role.
Until Lu Hean brought back the news to tell him that the omega who came would be Ke Bai.
On the night of the banquet, Pei Shuyu jumped out of the bathroom window and escaped. He went to the laboratory and knocked out the guard. He told Lin Kong that Zhou Ting would gather his accomplices in three days.
Because of the banquet, Lin Kong escaped smoothly except when he jumped over the railing, which was a bit high, although Xiao Ji was there to catch him.
"Ouch, ouch," Lin Kong muttered as he landed, "This is really too much for me..."
Xiao Ji could only smile and said, "Mr. Lin, let's go, the plan has already begun."
"Let's go, let's go."
Next, the rebel henchman who had been captured last time was assigned the role of Lin Kong. He'd heard that this would allow him to atone for his sins, so he felt obliged to do so! After Ke Bai received the news that the battle was over, he took him running across the open grassland.
Deliberately captured by Pei Shuyu.
Before coming, Xiao Ji had told him, "Our colonel said that this omega needs to have good acting skills and be unafraid of hardship, because... that is..."
Ke Bai had no patience and said impatiently: "Why bother with so much! Then I'll go!"
"That's it..." Xiao Ji was still a little hesitant, but under Ke Bai's murderous gaze, he recounted the matter in detail.
"Bang!" Ke Bai punched the stainless steel table, making it... dent?!
"Control the omega? He's dreaming!" Ke Bai gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go."
Xiao Ji wiped his sweat. Why did he feel like he should be the omega...
In this way, Ke Bai successfully passed Zhou Ting's test.
In fact, Pei Shuyu thought that Zhou Ting would do something even more excessive and expressed concern about Ke Bai's acting skills.
It was just a cut, luckily...
Haha, it would have been perfect if Ke Bai hadn't made an expression that said, "You bastard, you will die in my hands" when Zhou Ting laughed.
Explanation completed.
Pei Shuyu walked to Ke Bai's side and said, "Okay, stop acting."
At the same time, the door of the conference room was kicked open from the outside!
"Don't move! Alliance enforcement!"
Amidst the shouts, a large number of fully armed personnel rushed in and took control of the entire venue in an instant!
Those "guests" who tried to resist or escape were quickly subdued by well-trained operatives and forced to their knees on the ground one by one.
The masks were forcibly removed, revealing the faces of those in high positions.
The situation was completely under control.
Ke Bai finally put away his idiotic look, stretched his neck twice, and complained, "Pei Shuyu, playing dumb is killing me. It's harder than killing someone."
Pei Shuyu comforted him, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Ting's face was ashen. He looked at Lu He'an who was pointing a gun at him, then at Pei Shuyu who was always calm, and Ke Bai whose eyes had regained clarity. He understood everything.
"The reagent... the reagent is fake?" His throat was dry and he could hardly speak a complete sentence.
Pei Shuyu picked up a reagent, shattering his last fantasy. "This is just an ordinary inhibitor."
“So you started early…”
"Yes." Pei Shuyu stepped forward and straightened Zhou Ting's collar. "I'll give you the bug back."
…
These people were escorted out.
Reporters, cameras in hand, frantically filmed the panicked "guests" with flashbulbs. This was big news! Everyone wanted to get a shot! Guan Zicen was at the back, straining to squeeze forward.
When Pei Shuyu and Lu Hean came out, the reporters had dispersed. The car escorting those people drove away, and the reporters might have chased after it.
Ke Bai walked up to him and said, "Everyone has been caught. Do you want to go and check to see if there are any missed ones?"
After all, Pei Shuyu has been here for a long time, so everyone should have recognized him.
Pei Shuyu nodded.
After arriving at the place, Pei Shuyu saw Xiao Qingyang at a glance.
Xiao Qingyang was facing the scarred man who had kicked him before, kicking him hard while cursing: "You kicked me that day, right?! Huh?! I can't kill you with my kick!"
When Lu Jianchuan saw Pei Shuyu coming, he was a little at a loss and wondered whether he should stop him.
Pei Shuyu glanced at those people and said, "No one is left out." Then he turned around and wanted to leave.
Xiao Qingyang finally finished venting his anger and noticed Pei Shuyu.
He ran over furiously, looking at Pei Shuyu with red eyes. A thousand words finally turned into a choked complaint: "Pei Shuyu...you bastard. I thought it was a rehearsal, but it was real! How come your acting is so good now! I'm so pissed off, Ke Bai, Lu He'an, and Professor Lin! They all know! You're hiding it from me, right?!"
Pei Shuyu looked at Xiao Qingyang, and his lips, which had been tense all the time, finally relaxed. "No, I even hid it from Lu Jianchuan."
"You're comparing me to Lu Jianchuan!"
"That's not what I meant..."
Ke Bai fanned the flames, "You even believed my fabricated excuse that Pei Shuyu changed jobs because of the salary. Honestly, you're worse than Lu Jianchuan."
"You're going too far, you prying girl?"
"Who are you talking about stealing my girlfriend? I knew her first!"
The rain and snow stopped, and the dark clouds hanging over the alliance began to dissipate at this moment.
A ray of dazzling sunlight broke through the clouds, and Pei Shuyu raised his hand to block it.
The weather has cleared up.

The author has something to say: The next chapter will be the end of the main text.
Seeing it now has 300,000 words, I feel a little different. [Heart]
Many unfinished words are put into the extra chapter
For example, stories from childhood, like the first breakup, etc.
I am more suitable for chronological narration. My memory will be confused if I do flashback.
