Chapter 58 Using Yourself as Bait

Pei Du withdrew his thoughts, his heartbeat slowed down, and his expression remained unchanged.

He picked up the water glass on the table and wanted to take a sip of water.

"Don't drink!" An Jia saw Pei Du's actions and suddenly interrupted him.

Pei Du paused, he looked at An Jia and asked: "What's wrong?"

An Jia's expression changed again and again. She took the water cup from Pei Du's hand and said, "...It's nothing. I just saw some ash fall into it. You'd better not drink it."

Pei Du did not ask any further questions. He leaned back in the chair and waited quietly for An Jia's next words.

In her previous life, Anjia indirectly killed Peidu, which was her sin. But she was used by others and imprisoned for life, which was also her tragedy.

Pei Du would not forgive her, but he would not let Ling Yu manipulate An Jia as he pleased. Once all the luck of An Jia was taken away by Ling Yu, they would then turn their attention to Sheng Shixian.

Greedy snakes are always willing to swallow elephants. Ling Yu's ambition is visible to the naked eye.

He wants to replace Sheng Shixian, and even An Jia, to become the only protagonist in this world.

An Jia was silent for a while. She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and said, "Pei Du, can you return the engagement ring that we had before? We are going to cancel the engagement anyway."

The last time she asked for it, she was humiliated by "Pei Du" for several minutes. Now, she mustered up the courage to try for the second time.

Pei Du had been waiting for her to say this. He took out the black velvet box from his pocket and pushed it to An Jia. "I was just about to give it back to you. We have nothing to do with each other after the engagement is cancelled."

An Jia's eyes became dry unconsciously. She looked up at Pei Du, who had already sorted out the signed agreement and was ready to leave.

"Pei Du." An Jia suddenly called him. Pei Du turned around and heard An Jia's voice ringing neither loud nor low.

"I will pay you back all the money I borrowed from you in the future."

Pei Du nodded: "Okay."

He turned and left.

Less than a minute later, the man sitting in the back seat also stood up, put on a mask, and left behind Pei Du.

When they reached the corner of the stairs, Sheng Shixian turned around and glanced at An Jia. An Jia was still sitting there, looking down at the messages on her phone, and she was silent, revealing a bit of gloom and confusion.

No vision.

Ling Yu is not even half as good as Pei Du.

Sheng Shixian withdrew his gaze, quickly walked down the stairs and left the coffee shop.

Pei Du was waiting for him at the corner.

Sheng Shixian paused when he saw Pei Du. He didn't take off the mask on his face, and his hat brim was pulled down very low. Seeing this, he just tilted his eyes at Pei Du.

Pei Du pulled him into the alley, breathing heavily on Sheng Shi's neck, "It's not that you can't come here to follow the madman."

Sheng Shixian was not to be outdone and hugged Pei Du's back tightly. He said, "You knew it and still let me follow you. You are also a pervert."

"Yes, I am a pervert." Pei Du whispered to him, "I just like you to follow me, and I want you to bite me, and to be with you in the alley..."

Sheng Shixian didn't expect Pei Du to be so shameless. He tilted his head to breathe, and bit Pei Du's earlobe through the mask on his face.

"The alley is not an option. You can do whatever you want when we go back." Sheng Shixian pinched Pei Du's chin. Pei Du slightly tilted his eyes and then smiled at him.

Those eyes, which had been dull for years, finally contained what Sheng Shixian had always wanted to see—something that was caused by him.

"Pei Du, who are you?" Sheng Shixian asked him deliberately.

Pei Du easily understood the meaning of Sheng Shixian's words. He pressed the arc behind Sheng Shixian and curled the corners of his lips in the other's pupils that were flashing with tiny lights.

"Master, I am yours."

Sheng Shixian let him put his hand inside his shirt, "I'll only give you ten minutes."

…

A month later, Sheng Shixian took part in the military unified examination, and Pei Du sent him to the examination site. Because the alien examination was dangerous, there were armed special police everywhere.

Seeing this, Pei Du just sent Sheng Shixian to the door.

"Mr. Sheng, waiting for your good news." Pei Du leaned against the car window and waved at him intentionally.

Sheng Shi hummed enviously, turned around and entered the examination room.

Pei Du turned around and got into the car. Before he left, he saw Lin Xuqiu again. He stood with his back against a tree, looking at Pei Du through the layers of fences outside the military headquarters.

The gaze was direct and clear, implying an unknown meaning.

Pei Du didn't care and drove away from the military area.

Sheng Shixian's results came out the next day. In order to be lazy, Lu Xun made the test paper 90% multiple-choice questions, which would be faster to correct.

Sheng Shixian got the first place as he wished. To reward him, Pei Du let him indulge in the "master" addiction for several days.

Sheng Shixian then moved to the military area to study. The closed training for aliens lasted for half a year, and after Sheng Shixian left this time, they were truly separated.

Pei Du knew the significance of this. Before leaving, he said hello to Lu Xun and left his emergency contact information.

After Sheng Shixian leaves, Pei Du will live alone in the villa again.

This is also the best opportunity for some people to take action against Pei Du.

Pei Du was on the sofa, flipping through the news on his tablet. The results of the election for deputy director of the laboratory had been posted, and Pei Du had secured first place with his 21 new experimental research results.

He beat Ling Yu by a full forty-six votes.

Gouqiu was so smug that he patted Pei Du on the head, his tone full of a sense of accomplishment: "I told you that you have a future. They have no power, and that P ball can't do anything to you! The people I brought up are so cool! Hehehe!"

Pei Du: “…”

Living a life of mediocrity is so abstract.

Pei Du continued flipping through the tablet, and after ten minutes, a strange message suddenly came in.

"They will be there the day after tomorrow night. There is poison in the roses."

It was a call from an unfamiliar number. Pei Du read the content of the message and deleted it without changing his expression.

It seems that Anjia has made her own choice in this month.

People will not indulge in the illusion of bubbles forever. Only the bloody facts can sting her. Sting her, force her, so that after the bubbles are gone, Anjia will really see a person clearly.

And see herself clearly.

Pei Du sent a message to Lu Xun, asking him to bring more soldiers over. Yan Xuwen was very powerful, and it was estimated that only Lin Xuqiu could handle him.

Lu Xun chuckled twice and said modestly that Lin Xuqiu was just average, and it would be better to let Sheng Shi be jealous of him.

Pei Du had no interest in talking to him, so he hung up the phone after just two or three sentences.

It didn't know where it had drifted to, and the spherical data on its system was rolling violently, causing the broken soul hidden in the deepest part of its body to feel pain.

Soon...the opportunity will come soon.

He took away all the blue light on his body.
