Chapter 52: Separate Transactions

Pei Du also knew that time was running out and Lu Xun obviously had no patience to wait for them, but he also wanted to find out Sheng Shixian's thoughts in advance.

His eyes stopped at Sheng Shixian and continued to ask: "Sheng Shixian, if you don't want to go back to Sheng's, do you want to go to the military?"

"...Military Department" Sheng Shixian narrowed his eyes when he heard that.

"Yes, the military." Pei Du said, "There is also a specially created alien army there. Do you want to go there?"

It is still too dangerous for ordinary aliens to move around in cities, and joining the military can create another path of freedom for them.

At least this way they can stop hiding in dark corners.

In his previous life, Sheng Shixian chose this path to return, but Pei Du was not sure what choice he would make in this life.

"Of course I want to go." Sheng Shixian did not hide it. He was aware of the current situation and understood the trade-offs involved.

He didn't want to be a beast kept by Pei Du. He didn't want to wear those heavy shackles all the time, and he didn't want to escape day and night.

Of course, he is not a beast, and he should not bear such malice and punishment.

He was going to go where he was supposed to go. Sheng Shixian understood his immediate goal, regardless of the current situation, but sooner or later he would have to stand in the sun in broad daylight, so that he would be qualified to be on equal footing with Pei Du.

Pei Du chuckled, took out his finger, twisted his fingertips and wiped away the traces with a tissue.

"Okay. If you want to go, we'll go."

Sheng Shixian's arms were weak, and his body was still sensitive after the afterglow. His skin was fair and thin, and the places where Pei Du had rubbed it hard were covered with fingerprints and palm marks.

Pei Du took out a few pieces of clothes from the closet that Sheng Shixian had stuffed in there in his early years. Fortunately, there was not much difference in their heights, so Pei Du didn't feel out of place when he put them on.

He picked up the long shirt and underwear that were thrown on the ground and put them aside. Sheng Shixian was half-kneeling on the chair. Seeing this, he raised his eyelids to look at Pei Du, and his tail hung down to cover his private parts.

Pei Du was already dressed. He walked up to Sheng Shixian with another set of clothes and touched his chin with his fingertips. "I'll put it on for you."

Sheng Shixian pulled the thing over, turned his back, and took out a dozen pieces of paper from the box and wiped himself with them.

"You go out first. I'll stay here and keep an eye on Lin Xuqiu." Sheng Shi lowered his head enviously. His black hair was messy on his forehead, and only his slightly red thin lips were exposed.

Pei Du gave him face. He rubbed Sheng Shixian's beast ears that had appeared out of nowhere, paused for a few seconds, then opened the door and walked out.

Lu Xun was counting the time outside, and the moment the door opened he looked over there.

Pei Du was still in the same appearance as yesterday, well dressed, and his clothes were neatly arranged without any mess. After he came out, he quickly closed the door, blocking all the situations and scenes that Lu Xun could see.

"Hello, Commander." Pei Du picked up the underwear thrown at the door of the guest room and spoke politely to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun pulled the corners of his mouth, and the dirty words in his mouth circled around his tongue for several times. Finally, he said with a fake smile: "Hello, Experimenter Pei. I slept well last night."

"I was thinking about the deal with the commander and didn't sleep all night. What about you?" Pei Du said.

Lu Xun also stayed up all night last night trying to track them.

He blinked and sneered, "What a coincidence, I was thinking about you all night yesterday."

Pei Du bent down and picked up the clothes on the ground one by one. After he finished packing, he stuffed all the clothes into a packing bag and continued talking as if nothing had happened.

"Really, Commander? It seems you have considered what I told you."

The cigarette at Lu Xun's fingertips was still lit, the tip of the cigarette was burning, and a light and misty smoke rose.

"Pei Du, you are still an ordinary experimenter now. You have no status or ability, and you have no contact with the military. How can you help me?"

Pei Du folded up his sleeves at his wrists. Sheng Shixian's shirt was different from his after all. A black gem was conspicuously sewn on the sleeves.

Pei Du hid it and said, "The selection of deputy directors has already started, and the results will be announced next week. I am somewhat confident about this."

"As for the military, I would like to recommend a new helper to you."

The meaning of Pei Du's words was obvious, and Lu Xun easily understood the meaning. He sneered, "Why should I let him join the military? He stabbed me in the chest with a big one..."

"I will donate ten military buildings to you."

The cigarette in Lu Xun's hand trembled, and he stopped talking for a moment, turning his eyes to look at Pei Du.

Pei Du also looked at him without changing his expression.

"Plus 300,000 guns and specialized medical equipment, all of which are top-notch materials that meet the military's requirements." Pei Du smiled at Lu Xun, "What do you think, Commander? These are my gifts to you."

Lu Xun: “…”

He sat with his legs crossed unnaturally, looking at Lin Xuqiu secretly. Lin Xuqiu tutted and turned his head, pretending not to see the corrupt transaction between them.

"Do you think you can bribe me this way?" Lu Xun took a puff of cigarette. The gift Pei Du gave him for meeting him was very generous, but he could be even greedier.

He raised a finger towards Pei Du, "Plus 100,000 surveillance and navigation equipment."

Pei Du smiled: "Okay."

Lu Xun continued to lean on the sofa, the bandages tied around his chest layer by layer, and suddenly he no longer felt any pain.

Damn, Pei Du is really rich.

Pei Du was not so generous. After Sheng Shixian entered the military, many things would be out of his control. Moreover, Lu Xun and Lin Xuqiu were unstable, and Pei Du was still worried about Sheng Shixian staying there alone.

He asked Lu Xun to give him the right to contact and approach Sheng Shixian at any time.

It won't take long, Pei Du will abide by the rules of the military. His purpose is just to ensure Sheng Shixian's safety.

Lu Xun had no problem. He and Pei Du were both wary of the other party suddenly turning against them, so they recorded a video as a guarantee after signing the agreement.

Pei Du breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. After he had done everything, he remembered something and asked Lu Xun: "Commander, can you show me the file about my parents' incident?"

Lu Xun frowned and said, "This is a military secret. You can't read it."

Pei Du had expected this answer. The events of that year had a huge impact, and both the military and the laboratory intended to bury everything under the dust.

Lu Xun saw Pei Du's hesitation, and he said, "But I have read the files inside, and I can tell you the general situation."

Pei Du was a little surprised. Before he could say anything, he saw Lu Xun raise two fingers suggestively.

Pei Du: “…”

He said, "Okay."

Only then did Lu Xun put down his fingers. He recalled what he had seen and narrated the incident exactly as it happened.
