Chapter 40 Inheritance

The police recorded everything. They put the petals into isolation bags and took photos of the red words on the wall during the inspection, preparing to take them back for further investigation.

During this process, they focused on asking Pei Du about some people with whom he had bad relationships in his interpersonal relationships, and guessed that one of them was taking malicious revenge on Pei Du.

Pei Du answered everything in detail. After the police officer finished taking the statement, he left Pei Du's villa.

Pei Du sat back on the sofa. The police officers who came to his villa to take his statement were just ordinary police officers. It seemed that the injured senior commander was not ready to attack Pei Du immediately.

Pei Du knew that the military would not let it go. These people would treat aliens as powerful enemies. Sheng Shiyan's envy of such advanced mutants would make them more vigilant.

Pei Du suspected that they would take a second action soon.

Sheng Shixian walked out of the bathroom after the police left. Pei Du put the black beret he had bought before on his head. Sheng Shixian had a small face and fair skin, but after putting on the beret, he inexplicably looked a little youthful.

"Is there anyone you know there?" Pei Du asked.

"No." Sheng Shixian took off the beret on his head. The hat looked good and the leather texture was comfortable, but it always pressed on his ears, making him feel uncomfortable. "They are all ordinary police officers."

Pei Du nodded. He sent a few messages on his mobile phone and said, "I have to go to the laboratory to work in the afternoon. You..."

Pei Du hesitated to speak. He had gone crazy twice before when he was out, and he didn't know what kind of disaster he would encounter when he came back this time.

Sheng Shixian put the beret in his hand on Pei Du's head. Pei Du's expression was dull, with few emotional fluctuations between his eyebrows and eyes. When Sheng Shixian pushed the hat down, Pei Du looked up as if warning, which seemed a bit pretentious.

"I'll be good." Sheng Shi smiled enviously, his tone calm, "If you're worried, I can also wear a gag."

Pei Du held the beret on his head and said, "You are so honest."

Sheng Shi looked envious but remained calm: "Of course, I will listen to whatever you say."

"Oh." Pei Du took out a different style of gag from the drawer and said, "Then you should wear the one with the bow today."

Sheng Shi was jealous: “…”

Pei Du left the villa at the usual time in the afternoon. Military affairs were complicated, so he had to finish the laboratory work in advance to avoid involving other people.

Director Gong Yuanshen had not come to the laboratory for some time. Pei Du thought something had happened to him, so he called him and found out that he was attending a meeting abroad.

It was said that it was a cell research conference on foreign viruses, and Gong Yuanshen deliberately put aside all his things and flew abroad to participate.

Pei Du heard Gong Yuanshen's deep voice on the phone and found nothing unusual, so he hung up the call with peace of mind.

The work in the laboratory is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Pei Du took out the previous test report on roses, which showed that roses were mixed with slight neurotoxins. The amount was very small, but over time it would erode people's mental and physical organs, causing most of the kidney functions to decline.

Pei Du thought about his increasingly weak body and finally realized that it was the result of the effects of these toxins.

Pei Du put away the report. Seeing that Gou Jue was hiding in his pocket without saying a word, he said, "Don't be afraid. Ling Yu didn't come to the lab today. He went home to inherit the inheritance."

Gouqiu Tousheng said disdainfully: "It's ridiculous that I would be afraid of that stupid protein ball. Little Gouqiu, I'm not afraid of anyone!"

Pei Du ignored it. He looked at Ling Yu's work records and found that he had not come to the laboratory to work for at least a week.

Pei Du held on to the experimental project at hand and refused to let go, forcing him to have nothing to do. During this period, he was forced to return home to inherit the inheritance.

Pei Du was surprised by the development of this plot. He asked Lu Zifan, "When did Junior Brother Ling Yu's father die?"

Lu Zifan walked back with the documents in his arms. He said, "Brother, you don't know this. This is a big event in City A! The Sheng family's funeral has been held for several days, and the news was still reporting this today!"

Pei Du heard the familiar words and asked, "Sheng Family?"

"Yes." Lu Zifan looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and continued to speak to Pei Du.

"Ling Yu is also the illegitimate child of the Sheng family. You know that Sheng Shixian before, he is said to be Ling Yu's biological brother. Tsk tsk... This Sheng Shixian is really heartless. He went back to the Sheng family without bringing his brother. He must be afraid that Ling Yu will compete with him for the family property..."

Pei Du was startled: "What?"

Black Book's Sheng Shixian's mother died when he was young, and he spent most of his time living with his black dog. When did Ling Yu become his biological brother?

Seeing Pei Du's surprise, Lu Zifan said, "Brother, don't say you didn't expect it. We didn't expect it either. Ling Yu is a very patient guy. Now Sheng Shixian is infected with the virus and is missing. Old Master Sheng also died of illness. His only daughter doesn't have many shares. Ling Yu is the current boss of Sheng..."

Pei Du frowned slightly. After listening to Lu Zifan's words, he went back and searched for information about the Sheng family on the Internet. The issue of the inheritance of the Sheng family's property was a hot topic on the Internet, and Pei Du saw Ling Yu standing in the center of the photo at a glance.

Ling Yu was wearing a neat suit and facing the interviewer with a serious expression.

"Don't worry about my brother. We are currently giving him targeted treatment. I believe that after his condition improves, he will return to Sheng Corporation. And I will hand over the shares to him again..."

A neutral male voice slowly flowed out from the TV through the screen. The whole room was dark and the curtains were drawn tightly, making it airtight.

Sheng Shixian sat leaning against the sofa, one leg bent and the other stretched out in a relaxed manner. He casually placed the gag on the table, his amber pupils staring straight at the face of the person on the screen.

"Ling Shu, go to City A to find the CEO of Sheng Group. He is your father and will treat you well..."

"You need to change your temper. You can't keep being like this. If you have any questions, go ask Ling Yu. He's a harmless kid and he likes to play with you. If you have the ability, you should help him."

…

"He's already infected, what's the point of keeping him around? Get rid of him right away!"

"Throw it to the black market. The military has received the news. It is a serious crime for us to hide alien species. Do you want to go to jail?"

…

"Brother, I'm letting you go. Don't come back in the future."

Sheng Shixian grabbed the beret in his hand tightly. His grip was so strong that the edge of the hat was twisted into wrinkles.

Don't come back...

Sheng Shiyan's mouth curled up enviously, and the sarcasm in it almost couldn't be controlled and leaked out.

Ling Yu...you are really good at this.
