Kuai Le held a personal terminal, curled up on the sofa in the corner and listened to Lin Sheng's angry scolding.

Tang Kaiyuan, who was standing next to Lin Sheng, didn't look very good either. He had just come down from the simulation warehouse not long ago, and his pheromones had not yet completely stabilized and subsided. The familiar smell of alcohol went straight into Kuai Le's nose.

This pheromone was mixed with impatience and anger, which was not quite like his usual calm appearance.

Kuai Le didn't like this feeling. Most of the time, Tang Kaiyuan was gentle and considerate. Unlike those noble A in the empire, he didn't have a condescending character, nor would he ask omegas to do this or that. Kuai Le was very satisfied with him.

Perhaps it was because of this satisfaction that he accepted An Lun's existence.

After all, Tang Kaiyuan always said that if you love someone, you must respect all of him. He said that Kuai Le was a part of him, and so was An Lun, and he couldn't stand it without either of them... Kuai Le always felt that the logic in this statement was strange, but every time this happened, Tang Kaiyuan would coax him, gently caress his skin, and give him sweet words and gifts.

There was a sentence that Tang Kaiyuan often said: "Where can you find an alpha who loves you like me?"

Kuai Le heard it so many times that he sometimes felt that it seemed to be true. Tang Kaiyuan had a good family background, was born into a noble family, had money and was willing to spend money on him, even though there was An Lun... but he never treated her differently, he swore that he would always be good to himself.

The key is that Tang Kaiyuan has said that he treats all genders equally, which makes Kuai Le quite satisfied. Thinking about it this way, Kuai Le feels that he may not be able to find an alpha with such conditions.

"Why is it Bai Li?" Tang Kaiyuan's voice rang out, "Didn't they say that their mechas don't meet mainstream standards?"

There was a hint of anger in his voice, and Kuai Le frowned. Maybe it was because he was used to Tang Kaiyuan's gentle and considerate appearance, and occasionally saw him talking like this with gritted teeth, Kuai Le would feel uncomfortable.

It was as if he had glimpsed the other side under the crack of the smiling mask.

The personal terminal rang, and Kuai Le's thoughts were interrupted. He took a deep breath and refocused his attention on the work at hand.

A text message popped up: If you want evidence, you have to pay extra.

The sender's note read "physical examination doctor".

Kuai Le looked at the text message, biting his nails in hesitation.

I don't know what's going on, but I've been in the spotlight recently. The previously chaotic public opinion situation has been gradually rectified. After a number of news involving military insider information and royal privileges were exposed some time ago, several reporters who had deliberately smeared the image of the military were fired, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet. Citizens were particularly emotional and demanded strict control and management in accordance with the law, and prohibited any more out-of-context reporting and guiding of public opinion.

There was a huge uproar on the Internet. People spontaneously organized to expose all kinds of dirty tricks in the news circle. The commotion was so big that the four words "unscrupulous journalists" became a hot search. The colleagues in the industry who used to be so active at the center of the storm were silent. Even Kuai Le was warned by the leader because he had used methods such as forcing people to stop in the past.

Kuai Le was quite angry. This method was not used by him alone. He was publicly named at the conference, which must be aimed at him!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the military issued a statement, stating that the military is not a group that can be entertained by public opinion, and that passion should also win respect and applause. The attitude is unprecedentedly tough and the position is clear. In contrast, the royal family is silent and avoids various issues.

Under such circumstances, all the news and gossip that he used to take for granted were silent, and all the materials in Kuai Le's hands were thrown away.

The news he got from the Imperial Military Hospital had been delayed for various reasons. Looking at this text message, Kuai Le was a little hesitant about whether to continue.

He thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, and decided to get the evidence first. Who

knows, after this period of limelight has passed, no one will mention it anymore...

He sent a text message to that person: OK.

Lu Zhao wants to give Bai Li a gift, and Huo Cun is the one who is most concerned about this matter.

The main reason was that Huo Cun had never seen Lu Zhao give a gift. He could not imagine what gift Major General Lu, with that face that had not shown any emotion for 800 years, would give to his legal partner.

Adjutant Huo asked several times what to give, which annoyed Lu Zhao enough.

He really had no idea. He had a very unique vision for mechas, but his vision for gifts was like having presbyopia, and everything he saw was double.

Lu Zhao picked around and could not figure out what the differences were between these gifts. Many of them were fancy and expensive, but Lu Zhao felt that they were all a little bit different.

Huo Cun was still asking questions over and over, and Lu Zhao was annoyed, so he just took a few screenshots and threw them to Huo Cun.

After a long while, Huo Cun picked a picture from his screenshots and sent it back: This one is good.

Lu Zhao took a look.

It looks familiar, isn't this the pitch-black stone that can be engraved with words?

Huo Cun: This one is really good.

Huo Cun: The low-key and luxurious color and the engraving that highlights the connotation are really the best choice for gifts.

Huo Cun: Oh my God, Major General, I have never seen such an excellent gift.

Lu Zhao half narrowed his eyes. Every time Huo Cun sent a text message in this tone, Lu Zhao had a hunch that it was not a good thing.

Just as he was about to reply, Huo Cun sent another message: Bai Li will definitely like it.

Lu Zhao paused, frowned and took another look at the black stone in the screenshot.

Before he could send another text message to ask Huo Cun how he came to this conclusion, he heard noisy footsteps and conversations behind him. Lu Zhao glanced at the time. It was already noon, so he should have finished talking with Zhou. As

soon as Bai Li walked into the rest area, he saw Lu Zhao closing the web page on the virtual screen. He saw a pitch-black thing flash by, and it was closed before he could see it clearly.

Lu Zhao turned his head and his eyes fell on Bai Li's face. Bai Li's lips were slightly pursed, and his expression was unclear. Lu Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he stood up subconsciously.

"Don't talk, I can't say more," Bai Li's expression was complicated, "I can't hold it anymore."

Lu Zhao was stunned.

"Just now in the conference room, I spoke loudly and made bold statements, which almost drove Situ and the others crazy. They have expressed their determination to me 180 times," Bai Li's voice was trembling, "The atmosphere was not suitable for laughter, but I really can't hold it anymore."

Lu Zhao took a second to understand what Bai Li meant. It turned out that the trembling was caused by holding back laughter.

Looking back, several researchers were full of confidence as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They sat at the workbench with nutrient solution in their mouths, and they seemed to be determined not to leave work until they made a big discovery today.

Bai Li felt uncomfortable holding back, and didn't dare to turn his head. It was rare for him to establish a tall image in front of his employees, and he didn't want it to collapse in three seconds, but he was in such a good mood at the moment, and Situ's incoherent look was so funny, Bai Li felt very painful holding back.

Lu Zhao understood completely, and it was completely unnecessary to worry about Bai Li. He wanted to punch him in the head twice to see what the structure was inside.

"Have you agreed?" Lu Zhao asked.

"Almost," Bai Li said, "If there weren't so many people watching the cooperation that was snatched from Lin Sheng, I would have given him a set of military boxing on the spot. Hey, can we go outside and talk while walking, and find a place where there is no one so I can have a good laugh."

Lu Zhao looked at him with a red face and suddenly laughed twice.

"Don't laugh," Bai Li held the sofa back, shivering, "Laughter and urination mean the same thing. When you are holding it in, the worst thing is to hear others making the same noise."

Lu Zhao sat back on the sofa, laughing non-stop.

"Fuck," Bai Li couldn't help it, lying on the sofa back and laughing until his stomach hurt, "Major General Lu, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I just pretended to be awesome, can you let me enjoy this fake superiority for a little longer?"

Lu Zhao asked while laughing, "What

did you talk about?" "Nothing," Bai Li half-supported the sofa back, "Maybe he really cares about his brother. Zhou Yue has always been very concerned about this mecha. He asked me if I would change my research direction if I lost the competition this time."

Lu Zhao said "hmm".

"I said I just want to make this mecha, I have no interest in other directions," Bai Li said casually, paused, and then said, "He also asked me if I would continue to develop mechas if I was too old to return to the military and couldn't drive a mecha."

Lu Zhao's heart suddenly twitched.

He suddenly remembered this question. Bai Li was not young anymore. The military allowed a certain age to go to the front line. Even Master Bai had to obey the instructions of the military and switch to a command position when he reached that age. He rarely came into contact with mechas. But for Bai Li, if he couldn't get on a mecha, it didn't matter whether he returned to the military or not.

The impression Bai Li left on Lu Zhao was always deceptive. After his previous timidity was thrown away, he had never seen Bai Li afraid in other places. Lu Zhao always thought that Bai Li would be able to solve these problems.

But he never thought that Bai Li really didn't have much time left.

"What's your reply?" Lu Zhao asked.

He actually knew how Bai Li would answer, but he still asked.

"I said I would," Bai Li rubbed his cheeks that hurt from smiling, "I will continue to do this when I am older, even if my family fortune is gone. I don't have any special abilities in this life. If I can't fly, I can only rely on others to fly the mecha I built."

Lu Zhao didn't say anything for a long time, and then said, "You don't know how to write the three words 'change the way'."

"Nonsense, I had good grades when I was in school." Bai Li took a pen and wrote three words on the palm of his hand for Lu Zhao to see, "Isn't it written like this?"

Lu Zhao took a look and saw that Bai Li's palm said: Go to the end.

Lu Zhao's nerves followed the strokes of the three words.

Bai Li thought he was quite humorous, and was about to play a rogue by scrawling and writing "I want to kiss you", but Lu Zhao reached out and smeared the wet ink in his palm into three black lumps.

"You are not pretending," Lu Zhao rubbed it hard a few times, "Can you please stop doing that?"

"What?" Bai Li didn't understand.

"Don't make the truth sound like a joke," Lu Zhao said, "Don't try that on me."

Bai Li found that he had no secrets in front of Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao stripped his body, threw it on the ground and stepped on it, and messed with his internal organs, knowing every difference in his soul.

Bai Li had never experienced this feeling of being completely understood by others. People who cannot hide secrets are pitiful, but if Lu Zhao asked him to do this, Bai Li actually felt that he could hand the knife to Lu Zhao and let him dig up any place he wanted to see.

"Hey," Bai Li looked at Lu Zhao, "Why are you unhappy now?"

Lu Zhao was about to say that he was not unhappy, he was just telling the truth.

Before he could say anything, Bai Li stretched his neck from behind the sofa backrest and kissed Lu Zhao on the cheek.

There were not many people in the rest area for the time being, and Bai Li moved quickly. Although he knew that no one should see the boss behaving like a hooligan in public, Lu Zhao's words were still stuck in his throat. Looking at Bai Li, he once again expressed doubts about his mind.

"Why should I be so happy when you are not happy?" Boss Bai is quite shameless.

Lu Zhao: "You are really good."

"Hey, I was wrong. How about this," Bai Li said shamelessly, "You come back in person, and this wave will not be in vain."

Lu Zhao wanted to punch him twice, but Bai Li called him several times but he ignored him.

"You are really angry, Major General brother, then let's do this," Bai Li said, "I will buy a ribbon to tie around my neck..."

Halfway through his words, Bai Li saw Lu Zhao half-closed his eyes and glanced at him.

Bai Li was stunned for a moment, and then there was a slight "pop" sound in his head. His throat was a little tight, and he couldn't help but lower his voice. He continued like a possessed person: "I will buy a ribbon and give myself away. Whatever you want, do it."

Lu Zhao didn't say anything.

"Is this okay?" Bai Li looked at Lu Zhao.

Major General Lu's face was expressionless, only his Adam's apple moved.

Bai Li's ears turned red, but he moved closer and whispered in Lu Zhao's ear: "Fuck, it turns out Major General Lu likes this kind of taste."

Bai Li said the words, but in the end he blamed Lu Zhao, who couldn't find the words to answer. He could feel Bai Li's eyes lingering on him, and the meaning in it made Lu Zhao's scalp numb.

The research institute was full of mecha models and ornaments, and various values ​​were jumping on the screens of researchers outside the rest area.

In this serious place full of cold and hard metal luster, Bai Li was saying dirty words.

"Tell me more, what else do you like," Bai Li poked Lu Zhao with his finger, "Can I wear a suit? I still have a uniform from the military academy..."

Lu Zhao closed his eyes and slapped Bai Li's head to the side.

He had never been in love before meeting Bai Li, and he really underestimated the various stimulations brought by dirty talk.

"Physical examination." Major General Lu said indifferently, holding his personal terminal and walking aside, "Don't waste time."

"Hey, the gate is over there," Bai Li shouted, "Where are you going?"

Lu Zhao didn't answer and went straight into the washroom.

Bai Li called again: "Major General Lu?"

"Wash your face." Major General Lu replied with two words after a long distance.

The suspended car was speeding on the elevated road. The entertainment news in the car was broadcasting the content that had appeared a few days ago, but the protagonist had changed to another 18th-tier celebrity: "... It is rumored that she has been in and out of the club many times, and is suspected of having intimate contact with an unidentified alpha..."

During this period of time, there were fewer chaotic reports before, not to mention the military. As long as it was a job position involving a positive image, the wording in the report seemed cautious and solemn.

Bai Li listened incoherently, his fingers tapping on the virtual screen, and the text message sent by Situ just popped up.

Bai Li finished reading it and sneered.

"What's up?" Lu Zhao drove the car and glanced at Bai Li.

Bai Li had to go to the simulator frequently during this period. When Lu Zhao was around, he basically didn't let him drive. When he wasn't in a hurry, he would drive automatically. When he was in a hurry, he would drive himself.

"The news that was circulated before said that the Imperial Research Institute will choose a model with stronger destructive power next year."

Lu Zhao said, "Yeah, I remember."

"I think it's fake," Bai Li said, "I just asked around, and Situ just said that he found out the source, and it was indeed leaked from the Imperial Research Institute."

Lu Zhao: "Is that real news?"

"I'm still investigating. If it's true, then I'll admit my bad luck," Bai Li turned off the personal terminal and leaned back on the seat back. "If it's fake, then this would be considered pre-match interference. They're overreaching. They want to interfere in the Imperial Research Institute's recruitment competition. They really think the military is shit."

The scope of the Imperial Research Institute's projects is not limited to the military, but the mecha aspect has always been firmly controlled by the military. The military doesn't care about other research fields, but the marshal has been keeping a close eye on mechas.

Lu Zhao said, "Hmm," "Just keep it in mind."

"Are you thinking about something?" Bai Li turned his head to look at him, "You didn't even hear me talking to you just now. What are you thinking about? A suit or a military academy uniform?"

"Damn." Lu Zhao smiled, "No, I'm thinking about changing the doctor who does the physical examination."

Bai Li was stunned: "Why?"

"The last time you were hospitalized, when you went in to check your legs, I saw the person who was responsible for my physical examination outside," Lu Zhao accelerated and overtook a car, saying, "He may have a connection with that little reporter."

"Little reporter?" Bai Li paused, "Kuai Le?"

Lu Zhao glanced at him: "Hmm."

"You didn't mention it to me," Bai Li sat up straight, "I don't have any impression at all."

As soon as the matter involved the characters that appeared in the original book, Bai Li was alert as if he had been called.

"At that time, I took a look and just suspected that there was a connection. I didn't have time to think about it carefully. Later," Lu Zhao said, stumbling with a strange tone, "later, there were many things to do, and I forgot about it."

Later, Bai Li came out of the examination room and entered the isolation room. Lu Zhao went in soon after. Later, he didn't have any room to think at all. The pheromones mixed with body temperature directly made his and Bai Li's brains confused and unable to think.

"Ah, this," Bai Li cleared his throat, "It's understandable." If it were me, I would forget it at that time.

"I won't forget it in the future," Lu Zhao said calmly, "It affects the main business."

He knew what Bai Li cared about. Bai Li had mentioned before that in the original novel, Tang Kaiyuan would frequently show his presence. Since the last time at the gate of the military group, Lu Zhao had met Tang Kaiyuan several times at work, for various reasons, but they were not much different from what Bai Li said.

The more the details matched, the more Lu Zhao attached importance to such things.

Bai Li leaned back in his chair and thought for a while. In the original novel, Kuai Le and Lu Zhao had a good relationship. When viewed from Tang Kaiyuan's perspective, Kuai Le's feelings were also quite different from what he showed now. Bai Li didn't know much about this character, but he was sure that the one Lu Zhao just mentioned was not there.

"That's fine," Bai Li said, "It's safer to change someone to do the physical examination."

Lu Zhao nodded.

After a while, Bai Li suddenly said, "But whether it affects the business or not depends on what is considered business."

In the past, Bai Li thought the plot was business, but now Bai Li thinks building a harmonious marriage is business.

Lust makes you lose your mind, Mr. Bai.

Lu Zhao took a few seconds to react, and then he punched Bai Li on the shoulder with a smile: "What's wrong with your brain?"

The car got off the elevated road and arrived at the military hospital not long after driving.

Bai Li felt physically disgusted when he saw the gate of the military hospital. He knew rationally that he really didn't want to indulge in unpleasant memories, but he couldn't control his reaction of tasting analgesic in his mouth when he saw the military hospital.

This is also the reason why Bai Li did not want to have a regular checkup. He moved in his seat.

"Don't move," Lu Zhao said, "You still want to run?"

"No," said the eldest young master Bai, "Is this something I would do?"

"Yes," Lu Zhao said calmly, "A checkup, postponed from the beginning of the month to the end of the month, is that interesting?"

Bai Li was silent after being exposed.

Lu Zhao looked at him.

"I just..." Bai Li pursed his lips, "I really don't like this crappy place."

Lu Zhao thought of Bai Li's wrinkled eyebrows when he fell asleep in the isolation room, and his tone softened a lot: "I know." After a few seconds, he said, "I'll accompany you first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a child passing by the car window yelling to his father: "I won't go to kindergarten unless you accompany me!"

His father said: "You are five years old this year, you are already an adult, you have to go to kindergarten by yourself!"

Bai Li: "..."

Lu Zhao: "..."

"No," Bai Li shrank in his seat, "Li Li is eight years old this year, and can check by herself."

Lu Zhao smiled all the way from the gate of the military hospital to the military hospital.

As the car just drove to the vicinity of the physical examination building, Lu Zhao saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and the car slowed down.

"What?" Bai Li just suppressed the blush on his face, "Just because I'm eight years old, you can't let me go down and walk by myself. It's still a long way."

"It's okay," Lu Zhao glanced out the window, "I saw my physical examination doctor."

Bai Li looked in the direction he was looking, and his gaze stopped on a man with a buzz cut who was fiddling with a personal terminal.

The other person walked very slowly, as if he was replying to messages, looking around from time to time, with a somewhat nervous expression. He probably just got to work, still wearing casual clothes, carrying a brand new handbag and walking slowly forward.

"Wow," Bai Li looked around, "you, a physical examination doctor, are quite rich."

Lu Zhao glanced at him: "Can you tell from that?"

"I can't tell anything else," Bai Li smiled, "just the pair of shoes on his feet must be enough for at least three months of his salary. And that bag, a new model that just came out this month, I don't know how much it costs, but it must be a lot."

Lu Zhao didn't know much about famous brands, so he could only look at it according to what Bai Li said.

He wore a pair of new leather shoes with a trendy style on his crew cut feet, and his outfit was quite different from the last time they met.

"Is he from a good family?" Bai Li looked at the man and asked.

Lu Zhao shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't think so."

Bai Li narrowed his eyes, thinking of what Lu Zhao had mentioned.

It was only a month since Lu Zhao's last physical examination. How could this man have the money to spend so lavishly?

Bai Li thought that he might be nervous, but he couldn't let it go when the matter involved the original characters.

Especially since this person was related to Lu Zhao, Bai Li couldn't stand it.
