Chapter 529 Agree? She agreed to marry him?!
"Really?!"
Grandma Shang was overjoyed. She held Pei Jinwu's hand and said with heartache, "Don't worry, your parents will definitely be alright."
"That's right."
Zhong Man chimed in, knowing the matter was complicated, and said softly, "With Shi Yan's help, the whole family will be reunited sooner or later."
"Thank you, Grandma, Aunt Zhongman."
Pei Jinwu nodded obediently and thanked her with a smile.
——
After finishing the meal.
Pei Jinwu was called to the room by Ms. Zhong Man to try on her newly bought clothes and bags.
I went to the restroom halfway through and came back.
Before she could even open the door, Shang Shiyan grabbed her and pulled her into his room.
"Bang--"
The door closed, and the man pressed her against the wall, the two of them pressed intimately together.
“Aunt Zhong Man is right next to me.” Pei Jinwu lifted her eyelids and stared at him quietly. “She bought me a lot of clothes, and I haven’t tried them all on yet.”
"Try again later." Shang Shiyan gently stroked her hair and asked softly, "When did you find out about your parents?"
"Um?"
Pei Jinwu smiled sweetly and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "When I came back from the Hidden World Pavilion last time, I noticed that the way the members were looking at me was a little strange."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just wanted to find out more about the other party first."
Shang Shiyan sighed softly and apologized, "Who knew that these hacker lads could distinguish between big and small kings?"
They switched sides so quickly!
"I know."
Pei Jinwu leaned lazily against the door, staring at Shang Shiyan with a meaningful look, and moved her lips: "You're afraid the other party is after me, and you want to protect me."
"Um."
Shang Shiyan nodded, surprised that this girl knew everything.
“I’m not angry.” Pei Jinwu leaned forward, resting her chin on the man’s chest, and looked up at him: “Shang Shiyan, I’m happy.”
"I was really happy to learn that my parents might still be alive."
"We will find them."
Shang Shiyan took her hand and kissed it. "Wuwu, you're not alone this time. No matter what happens, I'll be with you."
Even if it means death?
Even if it means death!
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared at him intently for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, Brother Shang, with me here, I won't let you die."
Only she can move her people.
"I believe you." Shang Shiyan smiled, leaned down slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I just ate some grapes, were they sweet?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu was led astray and instantly realized what he was trying to do.
Do you want to eat grapes?
He clearly wanted to eat her!
"Want some?" Pei Jinwu asked deliberately.
"think."
As Shang Shiyan was speaking, he lowered his head to kiss her, but she suddenly slipped out of his arms.
"If you want some, I'll have the maid bring you some." Pei Jinwu leaned against the door frame, quite considerately: "I haven't finished trying on the clothes yet, I have to go and get busy."
"..."
Shang Shiyan stood there, stunned, and helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose.
I laughed in exasperation.
——
Hacker Alliance Base.
Pei Jinwu and Shang Shiyan sat on the sofa, carefully reviewing the documents handed to them by their subordinates.
"Miss Pei, please take a look at this photo."
The subordinate respectfully explained, "This photo was taken sixteen years ago, during the shipwreck. The photographer was a bystander, and it was later posted on the Tencent Space app."
"We spent a lot of effort to find it recently, but the image quality isn't very clear."
"Hard."
Pei Jinwu held the photo and observed it carefully. She noticed that several of the rescuers, dressed in black and wearing masks, looked particularly strange.
They were bundled up tightly, deliberately avoiding cameras, and in their haste, they appeared to be carrying two bags.
Her parents might be in the bag.
"Give me the digital image," Pei Jinwu said.
"Here." The subordinate immediately handed over the computer that had been prepared in advance, pointed to the position on the screen, and said softly, "Miss Pei, please look at this position."
"..."
Pei Jinwu and Shang Shiyan looked up at the same time.
In the poorly formatted photo, a man in black is seen wearing a watch on his wrist.
“We checked, and this watch is quite expensive, so not many people buy it.”
The subordinate explained, "So we investigated people who bought this watch sixteen years ago and found a few suspicious individuals."
The screen flickered and several images appeared.
"The others could be found and ruled out as suspects, but this one was different."
The subordinate pointed to a young man with short hair, wearing a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses, who had an outstanding demeanor.
"His name is Li Xiao, he is Chinese, and he used to be a researcher at a medical institution in Country M."
"But 25 years ago, a medical facility was suddenly exploded, and it is said that no one survived, including him."
"But six years after the accident, he appeared at the scene of the shipwreck."
"Is it possible that the watch was resold and bought by someone else?" Shang Shiyan's deep voice rang out.
"Reporting to Master, we've ruled out that possibility, as we've compared the hand features." The subordinate clicked the mouse, pointing to the scar on his wrist, and said, "There's a tattoo on it, an X."
so.
The dead Li Xiao has come back to life and appeared at the scene of the shipwreck.
It can be basically confirmed.
Li Xiao took Miss Pei's parents away.
"We're still investigating Li Xiao's family." The subordinate spoke respectfully, "He's no ordinary person; his records have been meticulously deleted."
Medical institutions?
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, and suddenly recalled what her second brother had said.
He said his parents loved reading medical books and doing drug research.
Could it be...?
"Could my parents be members of a medical research institution?"
"Could Wuwu's parents be members of a medical research institution?"
Pei Jinwu and Shang Shiyan spoke at the same time.
"?"
The subordinate looked up abruptly, unsure of who to answer.
After much deliberation.
He looked at Pei Jinwu again, his attitude extremely respectful: "That's possible, but—"
"An explosion at a medical facility in Country M has wiped out all the data." The subordinate looked troubled, his dark circles under his eyes particularly noticeable: "We still need to investigate."
"Check if there are any researchers who previously held positions and are still alive." Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, her voice slightly hoarse: "I know it's difficult, thank you all for your hard work."
As he spoke.
Pei Jinwu stood up and bowed respectfully.
Finding their parents is important, but the Hidden World Pavilion is also very dangerous.
If they succeed, humanity will be in grave danger.
"Miss Pei!"
Her men were so frightened they almost knelt down before her.
"Master, we..."
How could they possibly deserve such a grand gesture from Miss Pei?!
"The hacker alliance has suspended taking orders and shifted its focus entirely to finding people."
Shang Shiyan got up and walked to Pei Jinwu's side, putting his arm around her waist.
Order taking suspended?
The losses suffered by the hacker alliance are incalculable!
"That's all, go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, Master."
The men exchanged glances and then left.
——
Only the two of them remained in the room.
Pei Jinwu didn't move, standing still and staring at him quietly.
The hacker alliance stopped taking orders, resulting in losses of at least hundreds of millions. He really had the guts to do that.
"What are you looking at?" Shang Shiyan gently lifted her chin, a smile playing on his thin lips.
"I agree."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, stared into his eyes, and said earnestly.
"Um?"
Shang Shiyan was taken aback, not quite understanding: "Agree to what?"
“I heard what you said that night.”
What did he say?
Shang Shiyan pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling with surprise.
That night he said: Wuwu, let's get married after we find your parents.
She said—
agree? !
She agreed to marry him?!
——
good evening.
