Chapter 8 Chapter 8 “I am now a colonel and law enforcement officer…
Pei Shuyu took the pile of information and threw all his new discoveries to Xiao Qingyang and Fu Zhouxing.
"Those chosen are all unmarried A-level omegas."
"Retreat first, don't scare the fish in this pond."
Xiao Qingyang received the order, and with his eyes rolling, he flirted with the bartender and said in a low voice: "Brother Bartender~ I have something else to do, I'll come to see you next time~"
Fu Zhouxing, who was chatting happily with the omega beside him at the time, caught a glimpse of Xiao Qingyang's departing figure from the corner of his eye. He put down his wine glass without leaving a trace and smiled warmly: "Sorry, I suddenly had something important to deal with. It was a pleasant evening. The cost of this table will be put on my account. We will meet again another day."
The eyes of the omegas at the table were full of nostalgia and reluctance. Fu Zhou nodded politely in response, then walked away calmly.
Outside the bar, the sultry night wind rushed over like a reckless beast without any explanation.
As soon as Xiao Qingyang stepped out of the bar, he couldn't wait to breathe in the fresh air, like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood.
The smell in the bar was not pleasant at all. The air was a mixture of strong perfume and disordered pheromones, which made him dizzy. He only came to his senses a little at this moment.
Fortunately, he had gained something, otherwise this suffering would have been in vain. Moreover, the cheongsam was also making him uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hands and tugged at the cheongsam twice, and even adjusted the cheongsam to make it straight.
Fu Zhouxing pushed the door open and walked out, just in time to see this scene. His heart suddenly tightened. It would be fine if there was no one around, but if someone saw him, all his previous disguise would be in vain! He stepped forward quickly and urged in a low voice: "Idiot, hurry up and leave, don't dawdle."
"Ouch! You pulled my wig! It's going to fall off! It's going to fall off!" Xiao Qingyang protested softly in pain, frantically protecting his head.
The two hurriedly got into the car and sped away. At the end of the street, the lights of a black car quietly lit up. A moment later, like a ghost, the car slowly slid into the night, leaving behind only the empty street, illuminated by the streetlights, a cold and lonely light.
The three of them gathered together that night to work overtime, scouring the files of recent A-level omegas. After filtering by age and marital status, they narrowed the field down. But the number was still too large, and they couldn't decide who their next target would be.
At five in the morning, Pei Shuyu printed out the list and placed it on the table. He pinched his brows and said tiredly, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll give you half a day off. I'll take care of the rest."
Xiao Qingyang's eyelids were trembling with sleep, and his head was nodding. He uttered a drowsy "hmm" and then fell headfirst onto the table.
Pei Shuyu looked at Fu Zhouxing again.
Fu Zhouxing had two big dark circles under his eyes. He took another sip of coffee and said "hmm", still sober. "I'll sleep on the floor for one night. I don't want to go back."
Pei Shuyu didn't ask why, as he could probably guess. "Alright, the quilt and pillow are in the storage room. Remember to bring a set for Qingyang..."
Ever since Fu Zhouxing took over the Fu family business, staying up late to review documents and study has become a daily routine. The family fortune is in tatters, and the uncles from the side branches are eyeing him covetously. Fu Zhouxing, who was treated as an illegitimate child that year, had only been brought home a few months ago. Not only did he have to temporarily take over the company, but he also had to take care of a burden, his beta brother.
He still didn't have full control of the company, so he was restricted in everything he did. He was only 17, and his uncles were secretly trying to make things difficult for him, hoping to force him to step down.
It's impossible to not be annoyed.
Some people must be curious why it wasn't the brother who supported the company. It was just bad luck for the brother. He was admitted to the hospital due to food poisoning on the night of the selection.
In fact, Fu Zhouxing was also poisoned, but his condition was mild. He just vomited some blood and had his stomach washed out.
My brother was very unlucky. He was poisoned and went into shock, becoming a vegetable.
According to the rules of the will, the burden fell on Fu Zhouxing's shoulders.
But Fu Zhouxing didn't care about this thing at all, he just wanted to live his peaceful life. But now that things have come to this, there is nothing he can do.
Fearing that someone might harm the heir again, his stepfather's good brother sent Fu Zhouxing to Saifan, seemingly for training but actually for protection.
Until this year, his beta brother finally recovered and was taken home. Pei Shuyu couldn't figure out what Fu Zhouxing thought of his brother.
Pei Shuyu had read all about these private matters online. After all, those entertainment reporters loved to make up stories. Rumors like the Fu family's illegitimate son usurping the throne, or the promising legitimate son being ostracized and placed under house arrest had already been circulated online, so it was hard not to know.
Anyway, there will be other bigger news in a while, so there is no need to worry too much.
The three of them slept on the floor in the office for one night. The next day, when the other people from Sevan pushed the door open, they almost stepped on someone's hand.
"Oh my god! Who is this?!"
"Captain Pei!? Xiao Fu? Qingyang? Why are you sleeping here?!"
"Oh, I found some information last night." Pei Shuyu struggled to get up and looked at Xiao Qingyang, who looked refreshed after waking up from a nap next to him. The anger in his heart suddenly rose up.
Last night, Xiao Qingyang hadn't slept well, kicking him every now and then, muttering things like, "Where are you going, dragon? Don't be afraid, princess, I'm here to save you!" The noise was so loud that even Fu Zhouxing, a light sleeper, was irritated. He got up and exchanged glances with Pei Shuyu, "Hey, is he always like this?"
Pei Shuyu shook his head helplessly, thinking about finding some tape to seal his mouth.
After searching in vain, Pei Shuyu just lay there with his eyes blank, feeling hopeless and like a dead fish.
Finally, Fu Zhouxing couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Xiao Qingyang. Xiao Qingyang screamed at the top of her lungs, "Ah! Princess, I'm dead!" Only then did she calm down.
Pei Shuyu secretly swore that when Xiao Qingyang woke up, he would confiscate all his novels.
Xiao Qingyang knew nothing about this. He stood up and stretched, then saw his brothers greeting him with a smile.
"Good morning, Dashan! You're here for work so early?" Turning around, he saw Pei Shuyu and Fu Zhouxing looking resentful. He was stunned for a long moment and asked hesitantly, "Did you two go out and steal chickens last night?"
Fu Zhouxing squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yeah, I shouldn't have let that chicken go last night. I should have chopped it up directly."
Xiao Qingyang scratched his hair, his tone slightly regretful, "That's such a pity, otherwise we would have chicken soup today."
"Chicken soup you——"
"Ah, um, that information wasn't finished last night. You two should continue, quickly."
Pei Shuyu quickly interrupted. If they continued talking like this, Fu Zhouxing might actually beat Xiao Qingyang up. He took the omega information, took out a pen and marked it, then turned to Xiao Qingyang and said, "Uninstall all the novel apps on your phone and don't read them for a while."
Xiao Qingyang's face was full of disbelief.
"Ah! Why?"
"No reason." Pei Shuyu distributed the information. "This is a list we've selected of people who might be the next missing persons. You'll be responsible for protecting these omegas for the next few days. As for that bar, Dashan and Xiaoliu, you two will keep an eye on it. Think of it as a vacation. Remember to dress stylishly so that no one can tell at first glance that you're martial artists."
After giving the order, he stared at the one in front of him. Pei Shuyu scratched his hair in annoyance. He really didn't expect that Qiao Zhishi was also in this range.
Should I tell Lu Hean? But how should I tell him? Oh, tell him that your fiancée might be taken away for experiments. Stop, stop. I guess he can find out about this information, so Lu Hean must have known it long ago. Isn't he just looking for trouble?
Pei Shuyu twirled his pen, thinking he might as well not say anything. But then he thought again, no way, what if Lu Hean didn't know about this?
It was as if there were two little people fighting in my mind.
"How could he not know about such a big thing as the omega's disappearance?"
"He's a colonel and a law enforcement officer now! Isn't it normal for him to be so busy with official duties? He's not a police officer."
After a while of fighting between his left and right brains, Pei Shuyu resigned himself to his fate and took out his cell phone. He walked to the corridor, opened the address book, found the top number, and dialed it.
"Who is this?" A slightly hoarse but magnetic voice came over.
Pei Shuyu was still organizing his words and didn't speak for a while.
The other end waited for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Pei Shuyu?"
"Hmm..." Pei Shuyu thought about it and still felt that Lu Hean should know about this matter.
I don't know what Lu Hean was doing. I can faintly hear someone whispering on the other end, and the sound of a pen writing.
Lu Hean coughed lightly, and the voices disappeared instantly. He then asked, "What do you want from me?"
Pei Shuyu rubbed his brows and said, "The recent disappearance of omegas..."
"I heard."
"Then you know Qiao Zhishi is also..."
"You care about him so much?" Lu Hean asked suddenly.
Pei Shuyu paused, "Of course I care. This is related to whether my guess is correct. If it is correct, he is very likely to be the next person to disappear."
"Aren't you his fiancé?"
Pei Shuyu had no idea what Lu Hean was thinking over the phone. He could only listen to the sound of the pen tapping on the table and guess at how focused Lu Hean was at the moment.
After a while, the clicking sound disappeared, and Lu Hean chuckled, "Captain Pei, don't worry about that. I will take care of my fiancé myself."
Pei Shuyu didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Lu He'an emphasized the word "care" particularly heavily, as if he wanted to bite it into pieces and swallow it into his stomach.
Yes, this is Lu Hean’s girlfriend, so he will definitely pay attention to her. Why should he worry about it? He should not destroy the relationship between the couple.
A sour taste spread densely in Pei Shuyu's chest. "Ah, that's right." His tone was full of sullenness. "Then I have nothing else to do. I'm hanging up."
"Wait, your business is over, it's my turn."
Pei Shuyu frowned and asked doubtfully, "What else do you have?"
Lu Hean pushed aside the pile of reports in front of him and leaned back. "You won't forget what you promised me, will you?"
The author has something to say:
