IRCDM Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Pendant – Because it’s Truly Like

Liang Huan had a rare, peaceful sleep.

When he woke up, he found himself still on the sofa, the source of warmth beside him still there. The sofa was large, but he and Li Yao were squeezed into a corner. Next to Li Yao were treatment devices and various used spray reagents, their caps scattered all over the floor.

Sensing his movement, Li Yao quickly opened his eyes, his eyelids drooping with sleepiness. He shifted the arm that was pinned beneath him.

Liang Huan sat up and wiped the congealed blood from his face, feeling much lighter.

“Wang Le Ren had the treatment devices and advanced medications delivered,” Li Yao said, kicking at the empty bottles on the floor. “Su Murong provided the formula, which, combined with the marrow, can temporarily suppress the outbreak of your dysfunctions.”

“Thank you, Li Yao,” Liang Huan smiled.

“Don’t be so quick to thank me,” Li Yao said languidly, lying back on the sofa. “To stabilize your mental value, two high-end treatment devices were ruined. These spray medications are all military-grade, with technical restrictions. I scrounged together dozens of bottles to barely concoct the dosage for two special effect medicines. This conservative treatment of yours has already cost hundreds of millions of Condensed Coins. Wang Le Ren suddenly went crazy and sent me so many good things, all of which ended up on you.”

Liang Huan laughed. “You’ve gone to a lot of expense for me.”

“Not an expense. Just remember to pay me back,” Li Yao said, standing up and brushing non-existent dust off his jacket. “I’m leaving.”

Liang Huan watched him go, slowly getting up from the sofa after a long pause, and going into the bathroom to take a shower.

The sound of the water blocked out the outside noise, and the warm steam gradually cleared his chaotic mind. He closed his eyes and carefully recalled everything that had happened recently, but unexpectedly, he remembered Li Yao’s constant groping when he was half-asleep… probably to confirm whether he was a heteromorph. After all, even if heteromorphs could transform into human form, their bone structure would still have subtle differences from humans, but it was impossible to feel those through clothes.

Liang Huan sighed with a headache and reached out to turn off the water.

—

After holding a meeting with Ling Xuan and the others, Liang Huan finally had time to see Pei Zhong.

Pei Zhong looked calm when he saw him, seemingly not caring about his prisoner status at all.

Liang Huan placed several photos on the virtual screen and pushed them in front of Pei Zhong, saying slowly, “These are surveillance footage from Yu Wan Yao’s room after he was assassinated. Unfortunately, the chip was destroyed, but we still managed to recover some of it. It shows that apart from me, only you entered and exited the villa during this time. I only knocked out the bodyguards inside, I didn’t kill them, but when I brought people back, they were all dead. Moreover, not only were the bodyguards killed that day, but the treatment device I gave to Yu Wan Yao was also taken away. Pei Zhong, do you have any leads?”

Pei Zhong glanced at him and said expressionlessly, “It’s normal for a few people to die in the Black Market. They were originally undocumented residents without identities. Are you going to take me to court?”

Liang Huan laughed. “Of course not. I’m just curious about your reasons for doing this.”

Pei Zhong fell silent.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say,” Liang Huan said generously. “As far as I know, Yu Wan Yao once adopted you and sent you to military academy, so it’s normal for you to work for him. A few months ago, I fell to the lower level of the Black Market, and Yu Wan Yao appeared at a critical moment to take me away. Then, on his orders, I approached Li Yao. I heard that you were also there at the time. But after Li Yao and I got married, I received a communication saying that a ‘Mr.’ had assigned me the task of approaching Li Yao to steal the Black Box, and used my dysfunctions to threaten me, telling me to stop Li Yao from participating in the Mercenary Competition, and to get the testing device and special effect medications from your atom mecha repair shop.”

“I always thought that this ‘Mr.’ was referring to Mr. Yu, but later I discovered that Yu Wan Yao didn’t seem to know that I had dysfunctions at the beginning,” Liang Huan laughed. “This is interesting. Both Mr. and Mr. Yu want the Black Box of the Dawn Project. If they aren’t in cahoots, logically, they should send two groups of people to approach Li Yao. If they are in cahoots, then it should be a single-line mission. In the case of redundant missions, it is enough for me, as a specific executor, to have one superior. But they seem to be unaware of each other’s existence, and my superiors are all gathered in you alone.”

Pei Zhong’s mechanical fingers trembled slightly, emitting a faint electrical sound.

“So I guess that I was originally someone sent by the military. Li Yao said from the beginning that I grew up in District 1, so they should have given me the identity of an unfortunate wealthy person, and arranged for you to meet me in the Black Market. The mission was to obtain the Black Box related to the Dawn Project within three months. This plan can’t be said to be meticulous, but it’s reasonable,” Liang Huan said. “But someone deliberately sabotaged the plan and brought me to the Black Market, arranging for me to meet Yu Wan Yao.”

Pei Zhong finally raised his eyes to look at him.

“Yu Wan Yao also wants the Black Box. It’s difficult for me to speculate his motives. Perhaps it’s because he’s friendly with Ling Zao, so he has some connection with the military, accepting the same mission, but he and Mr. don’t belong to the same faction… But this isn’t important,” Liang Huan looked into his eyes. “The person who deliberately sabotaged the arrangement may have wanted to use the military’s hand to take the opportunity to eliminate Yu Wan Yao, or maybe they felt a little reluctant towards Li Yao, so they deliberately made the whole plan full of loopholes, or maybe both.”

“Pei Zhong, which one do you think it is?”

Pei Zhong remained unmoved: “These are just your speculations, Liang Huan.”

“Then let’s talk about something that’s not a speculation,” Liang Huan smiled. “I don’t know much about you, but I know very well what kind of person Li Yao is. If, as you said, your hands were crippled by him, or even if it was just because of him, then his attitude towards you would definitely not be so relaxed now – he is the captain of the first exploration team, and you are his teammate. You cooperated very well.”

“He has such a strong sense of responsibility, so if your hands are related to him, he will definitely do his best to protect you. This guilt may even accompany him for life,” Liang Huan smiled. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t. When there is danger, the first thing he thinks of is you to act as an assistant and jointly assume the role of protector.”

Pei Zhong said, “We were once classmates at military academy. Before I was expelled, we often trained together. This is normal.”

“Expelled,” Liang Huan savored these three words. “Then I’m very curious, why would you still be loyal to the military and even determined to eliminate Yu Wan Yao?”

“You’re too curious,” Pei Zhong said coldly. “You don’t have any evidence to prove these guesses of yours.”

“You’re right, I don’t have any evidence,” Liang Huan smiled. “But this is the Black Market. No evidence is needed. Just like you said, it’s normal for a few people to die in the Black Market, including you.”

Pei Zhong said indifferently: “Then do it, stop talking nonsense.”

Liang Huan got up and pushed a crumpled coffee wrapper in front of him: “Then do you still remember this?”

Pei Zhong glanced at it.

“This thing can not only enhance mental power, but also induce the aggravation of radiation infection. At that time, I had a wound on my face left by a sniper rifle, but everyone thought that I had a serious mental disorder,” Liang Huan smiled. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I left the sniper’s positioning chip, which was discovered by Li Yao, and that taking enhancers would further aggravate the infection, I could have died silently in a few more hours. I originally thought that Mu Bo did this, but now I have changed my mind.”

“As long as I die, the military’s plan to use me to steal the Black Box will be completely declared a failure. And you also used me to kill Yu Wan Yao. If my previous guesses are correct, you even eliminated a Black Market affiliate of your superiors’ opponents. Even if the mission fails, you will not be blamed too much, and Li Yao is safe. No one will suspect you.”

Pei Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth, and his eyes finally became completely cold.

“Pei Zhong, you are very smart and ruthless enough to play the three parties in circles,” Liang Huan picked up the coffee packaging bag. “If it wasn’t for the sudden mental wave pollution in the Black Market, perhaps you would have already left the Black Market and successfully retired. It’s a pity that human calculation is not as good as heaven’s calculation. What delayed your departure time and made you catch up with the most severe peak of mental pollution?”

The holes drilled in the screws were round and full, and brightly colored hinges passed through the holes. Ai Xiaoli and a group of children, including Hou Anan, dragged their pets and ran wildly in the street.

Several days had passed since the large-scale outbreak of dysfunctions in the Black Market. The most severely infected at that time were the children, but they were also the fastest to recover. They seemed to have endless energy and enthusiasm. No matter what terrible things they had experienced, they still had the most ardent love for the world after waking up.

Li Yao looked at this group of carefree human cubs and stepped on the largest screw inside.

The hinge was pulled straight. Ai Xiaoli was taken aback and turned his head to see the culprit, excitedly saying, “Brother Li Yao!”

Li Yao clicked his tongue: “Call me uncle.”

He called Ai Li sister, so what was it if Ai Xiaoli called him brother?

“Okay, Uncle Li Yao.” Ai Xiaoli had a very good temper. He wasn’t angry that his pet was stepped on. He approached Li Yao like a puppy. “You haven’t come to play with me for a long time. A big event happened in our Black Market a few days ago. We were all caught in mental disorder. I also saw you and Teacher Mu. Teacher Mu became a big bad guy, and you and another brother descended from the sky to save me!”

“Although my mother said it was all a hallucination,” Ai Xiaoli was running with sweat all over his face, and his black and bright eyes were full of smiles, “But I am very brave.”

Li Yao patted his head and pointed to the screw: “Let me play with it.”

“It’s called Li Li!” Ai Xiaoli generously shared his pet with him.

Li Yao held the screw and observed it carefully, subconsciously wanting to touch a cigarette, but touched nothing, so he had to continue looking.

These days, Liang Huan and the people around him were so busy that they couldn’t touch the ground. He was so bored that he wandered around on the upper seven floors. At first, Liang Huan had some criticism, but recently his attention was all on interrogating Pei Zhong, and he had no time to care where he went. Li Yao even took the time to go back to the mercenary base across the street to punch in several times.

Although it had been determined that Mu Bo, this special-grade transparent heteromorph, was the source of mental pollution for the large-scale outbreak of dysfunctions in the Black Market, he always felt that something was wrong. He had needed to contact many special-grade heteromorphs for previous missions. Although special-grade heteromorphs could indeed cause mental disorders in humans, it usually didn’t last long. If Mu Bo was a heteromorph that had been modified by humans, then he shouldn’t have such great power.

Li Yao suspected that there were other sources of pollution in the Black Market, but he had not been able to find any clues.

The pollution value tester on his wrist issued a moderate alarm.

Li Yao’s eyes narrowed, and he asked Ai Xiaoli: “Where did you find these things?”

“There was a fight here before, and many fell from the mechs and hovercars. No one came to collect them, so we picked them up to play with,” Ai Xiaoli said.

The Black Market children had few entertainment activities, and they were not well cared for. They often tried to find ways to play on their own, and no one usually cared.

“Who taught you how to play like this?” Li Yao asked

“A bald big brother.” Ai Xiaoli gestured to him: “His eyes are blue, and his head is made of machines. He looks fierce, but he is very easy to talk to.”

Li Yao thought for a while and took out a holographic photo from his chip: “Look, is it him?”

Ai Xiaoli nodded: “It’s this big brother.”

Li Yao looked at Lou Chu in the photo, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Ai Xiaoli was a little scared: “Uncle Li Yao, what’s wrong with you?”

“It’s okay, lend me your pet.” Li Yao grabbed the screw, “By the way, tell your friends that I can exchange a screw for a candy here.”

“Okay!” Ai Xiaoli ran away happily.

In the base, candy was an important resource and more useful than a mech screw.

Li Yao put away the screw, thought of a more interesting way to play the game for them instead, found several numbered screws, took photos, and sent them to You Zhao Chen.

You Zhao Chen: “That’s rare, you still remember me.”

“Help me check these codes. They look like something used by the mercenary base,” Li Yao said.

You Zhao Chen said after a while: “This code is quite similar. Where did you pick it up? Why are there holes drilled in it?”

“You check first.” Li Yao clicked his tongue, “Remember to save good tasks for me.”

“You’re growing up in the Black Market and you’re still thinking about tasks,” You Zhao Chen said sarcastically, “Are you enjoying being a kept man?”

“It’s quite enjoyable.” Li Yao sneered, “Send me the batch and equipment model after you find it.”

“Okay.”

—

The screw was thrown on the table.

Liang Huan said without looking up: “You came just in time, I have something I want you to help with.”

He waited for a while without any movement, looked up and saw Li Yao with a solemn face, and was stunned for a moment: “What’s wrong?”

“Take a look at this first.” Li Yao raised his chin and sat down on the sofa next to him.

Liang Huan picked up a screw and looked at it. This was a large screw used on mechs and hovercars. It was as big as an adult’s forearm. The engine oil on it seemed to have been wiped clean, and there was a circular hole in the middle, wrapped with a section of hinge.

“I’ve seen a lot of these screws on the roadside,” Liang Huan said suspiciously. “But why are these all punched with holes?”

“Recently, there is a very popular game in the Black Market where children use screws as pets, dragging them with hinges for competitions.” Li Yao picked up a screw and showed it to him, “The detector shows that the pollution value on this exceeds the standard at a moderate level.”

Liang Huan’s expression froze: “Go find Su Murong.”

Temporary laboratory.

As the various values ​​of the test objects were displayed, Su Murong’s expression became more and more solemn. She gave the test report to Liang Huan and Li Yao.

“The pollution and radiation values ​​of regular ordinary screws are very low. Basically, no one cares, and even many soldiers in the military and students in military academies think so, but in reality, whether it is a mech or a hovercar, it will generate a large amount of waste gas and radiation when running. However, with the technological updates and iterations, this kind of screw was eliminated more than ten years ago. It’s normal for people who don’t specialize in this field to not know this. Some of the raw materials of these screws come from the extracts of heteromorph brain cores. Over time, the radiation value inside the screws will seriously exceed the standard, but in order to compensate for this problem, the manufacturers uniformly seal a layer of tempered glaze on the outside. There is generally no problem within the normal service life.”

Liang Huan looked at the holes punched in the screws: “Wouldn’t these holes cause the extracts inside to leak?”

“Yes.” Su Murong said puzzled, “But how could a normal person suddenly think of punching holes in the middle of a screw?”

Li Yao briefly explained the rise of the screw game: “This game is very popular in the Black Market, especially among children.”

Liang Huan said: “What will happen if it is not discovered?”

“Heteromorph mental source pollution will lead to large-scale outbreaks of acute dysfunctions, but if it is this kind of moderate radiation pollution, you won’t see any problems in the short term, but in a few months, the pollution value of the entire Black Market will seriously exceed the standard. People living here will not only experience mental disorders and long-term dysfunctions, but will also be induced to develop various genetic diseases, and their survival period will not exceed one year,” Su Murong said.

Li Yao’s eyes turned cold, and he continued: “When people realize it, it will be too late to recover. At that time, the Administrative Court will apply for a removal order, and the Black Market can be completely eliminated.”

“The person who invented this game is simply ill-intentioned, and what’s even more hateful is that he taught the children to do this,” Su Murong said angrily.

“I will immediately have people collect all the scattered screws in the Black Market.” Liang Huan lowered his head and opened the chip, and asked Su Murong, “Is there a way to dispose of them harmlessly?”

“The conditions in the Black Market probably don’t allow it yet.” Su Murong looked at Li Yao, “But I remember that the mercenary base seems to have a special waste treatment plant.”

Liang Huan looked at Li Yao with anticipation.

Li Yao: “…What does it have to do with me? I have already done my best by discovering this problem and telling you.”

Liang Huan smiled: “As the saying goes, if you help someone, help them to the end, not to mention that with our relationship, the mercenary base and the Black Market are one family.”

“I’m just an ordinary mercenary, I don’t have that much power.” Li Yao said ruthlessly, “Stop dreaming.”

Liang Huan sighed: “Okay, then I’ll think of other ways.”

Su Murong said: “I can temporarily have people isolate these screws, but we still have to find a usable waste treatment plant as soon as possible.”

Liang Huan nodded. Just as the communication came in, he went out to answer it. Li Yao asked more: “Those children have been playing for several days, will it be okay?”

“It’s okay, if the time is not long, this leakage is not as serious as the heteromorph pollution source from the previous two days.” Su Murong looked at him, “Have you found the suspect?”

“No clues yet,” Li Yao said.

Su Murong hesitated.

Li Yao said: “Dr. Su, what do you want to say?”

Su Murong shook her head: “It’s nothing, maybe you can go to the lower eight floors to take a look, there are many garbage dumps down there.”

“Okay, I’ll tell Liang Huan.” Li Yao nodded.

The shielding device in the room quietly operated.

Liang Huan said: “Are you talking about Lou Chu?”

“I asked several children on different floors separately and gave them a few photos. They all identified Lou Chu.” Li Yao said.

“Although Lou Chu is the murderer who killed Yu Wan Yao, after all, Ling Xuan and I made a deal, so I didn’t do anything to him. He himself is not someone who can accomplish anything, so I sent him to the lower level and had someone watch him.” Liang Huan always disliked having stupid people in front of him to get in the way. Naturally, the farther he could get Lou Chu to go, the better. He pondered slightly, “Moreover, this kind of meticulous and vicious method doesn’t seem like something Lou Chu could think of.”

“If it’s him, what are you going to do?” Li Yao looked at the medicinal soup on the coffee table, his eyebrows tightly knitted together. It wasn’t until the golden treasure next to him urged him to poke his calf that he picked it up and drank it in one breath. His expression was a bit ferocious from the bitterness.

“Naturally, I will kill him.” Seeing him so bitter, Liang Huan couldn’t help asking, “Where’s the candy?”

Li Yao politely refused the strawberry-flavored engine oil handed over by Jinbao and said, “They were all exchanged for screws for the children. When the parents see it, they will think I am some pervert.”

Liang Huan smiled and took a candy from the drawer and threw it to him.

Li Yao peeled it open and stuffed it into his mouth, vaguely saying: “How do I explain to Ling Xuan if I kill Lou Chu?”

“If she doesn’t agree, I don’t need to keep her.” Liang Huan said lightly, “No matter how good she is, once the head of favoritism and bending the law is opened, there will be an excuse later.”

Li Yao remained noncommittal.

“I’ve already asked Lu Biao to arrest Lou Chu. We’ll know what’s going on after asking. This time, thanks to you for discovering the problem in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable,” Liang Huan said.

“How’s Pei Zhong?” Li Yao asked casually.

“He has already admitted that he wanted to use my hand to get rid of Yu Wan Yao, but he didn’t expect it to be so fast. I guess his expectation may have been that someone from the military would take action,” Liang Huan said, “The coffee was also his doing. As soon as I die, the plan to steal the Black Box this time will completely fail, and he can just take the opportunity to leave.”

Li Yao squeezed Jinbao’s ears: “Are you really not going to kill him?”

Liang Huan walked over and sat down next to him, grabbing his wrist to take his pulse: “He killed me to protect you. You are both classmates and teammates of the first team. Although I don’t know what happened between you, I believe that the friendship is deep. If I insist on killing him, wouldn’t I put you in a dilemma?”

Li Yao smiled indifferently: “Your business has nothing to do with me, don’t force me to be an excuse.”

Liang Huan said: “I’m just generous.”

Li Yao lowered his eyes and said: “Is it over? What are you still holding for?”

“Drink it for two more days, I’ll change the prescription for you. The injuries you suffered before were too serious. I’m afraid you won’t be able to fully recover in three months.” Liang Huan generously injected some internal energy into him to help him unblock his meridians. Li Yao’s messed-up body has now begun to show results. He is very satisfied. If there is enough time, he is fully confident that he can turn Li Yao back to the perfect 3S+ that he was before.

Li Yao didn’t answer him and said: “Just now Su Murong said let us go to the lower eight floors garbage dump to find clues.”

“Lower eight floors garbage dump?” Liang Huan unconsciously stroked his wrist, “Su Murong is a professor at a university in District 1, with a decent job and a high income, but she insisted on opening a pharmacy in the Black Market and even helped Yu Wan Yao collect medicinal materials from the outer districts. This is a problem in itself, but she is a good person by nature, I like her more.”

“You like everyone.” Li Yao took out his hand, “Don’t touch me again, or I’ll be rude.”

Liang Huan smiled: “Sorry, I’m used to it. I used to have a jade pendant that I carried with me. When I think about problems, I always can’t help but play with it. The texture is warm and transparent, and it’s very similar to your wrist, so I couldn’t help it for a while.”

Li Yao’s face turned green: “Do you have a problem? I warn you, when I said I liked you before, I simply liked you as a person, there was no other meaning.”

Liang Huan raised his eyebrows: “Other meaning?”

“We are in a fake marriage, I don’t like men.” Li Yao said seriously, “Don’t misunderstand.”

Liang Huan said: “What am I misunderstanding? There has never been any intimacy between you and me, just a little closer than others. Those close friends are far more so than us. They are not only close, but can even give their lives for each other. There is more than just love between people, Li Yao, why do you always have to be so on guard?”

“I-” Li Yao was thoroughly choked by him.

“My behavior is upright and my conscience is clear.” Liang Huan chuckled, “But you are always worried, but you don’t know how much it hurts my heart. Or are you really moved by me?”

Li Yao’s face turned green: “Do you want to die?”

Liang Huan grabbed his hand and smiled: “I regard you as my right-hand man, even the three thousand beauties in the harem are not as in line with my heart as you are. How can I be willing to only talk about love with you? Don’t worry, love is the most unreliable thing, and it is also the easiest to involve many incidents, I will never overstep half a step.”

The more Li Yao listened, the more wrong he felt, and suddenly reacted: “Liang Huan, aren’t you warning me in a roundabout way?”

Liang Huan looked at him with a straight face: “I didn’t.”

Li Yao suddenly felt a burst of annoyance from the bottom of his heart, shook off his hand and smiled: “Don’t worry, even if I like a dog on the roadside, I won’t like you. There must be a limit to narcissism.”

Liang Huan patted him on the shoulder very contentedly: “I didn’t mean anything else, it’s just better to make things clear.”

Li Yao agreed and nodded: “Since this is the case, why don’t we hurry up and get a divorce, let me see, we can apply now and get it done next Tuesday.”

“The day after tomorrow?” Liang Huan was stunned for a moment.

“Are you still picking a day for divorce?” Li Yao sneered.

Liang Huan: “…Isn’t it a bit too hasty?”

Li Yao said: “Hurry up, I have to find the next marriage partner, I don’t have time to waste with you.”

“Your mental power hasn’t recovered yet, it’s not suitable to have a mental link with others, not to mention that even without the constraints of a marriage relationship, I will help you.” Liang Huan said seriously, “You have to recuperate for at least three years in this situation.”

“Stop messing around, you have a fake marriage with you, and of course I have to have a real marriage with my wife.” Li Yao patted him on the chest jokingly, “I can’t just abandon my wife for the sake of cultivating mental power.”

Liang Huan grabbed his wrist: “Mu Bo is still watching us, let’s talk about this later.”

Li Yao raised his eyebrows: “Business is business, this has to be paid extra.”

“Okay.” Liang Huan was very generous, “I’ll give you double the extra pay, and call me husband when you call me in the future.”

Li Yao looked at him in shock: “Are you sick again?”

“No.” Liang Huan said righteously, “I just want to experience the different names of humans in the New Era for their spouses, or you can call me husband.”

Li Yao very politely gave him the middle finger.

“Five times.” Liang Huan increased the price.

Li Yao: “…Dream on.”

“Ten times.” Liang Huan smiled.

“…” Li Yao shamelessly wavered for a moment, clenched his fist, struggled for a few seconds, and then suddenly woke up, “I have to pay two-thirds of the tax for ten times the commission, you’re tricking idiots.”

The smile in Liang Huan’s eyes deepened: “I misspoke just now, don’t take it to heart.”

Li Yao cleared his throat and frowned: “It’s not that I can’t completely accept liking a man, but this issue is very complicated, and I haven’t reached that point with you… Damn, can you understand what I mean?”

Liang Huan nodded calmly: “I understand.”

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, hooked his shoulder like a good brother and said: “Emotional boundaries can sometimes be confused, which is normal. I was a little too excited when I said those words before. What you said makes sense. It’s better for us to maintain a employment relationship.”

Liang Huan smiled and grasped his wrist: “No problem.”

Li Yao was completely satisfied now, and seeing him touch his tattoo again, he suppressed that subtle awkwardness: “Still touching?”

“I like it.” Liang Huan sighed helplessly, “You understand a little, you touched my whole body before and I didn’t mind.”

Li Yao frowned: “You weren’t asleep?”

“Asleep, but I could feel it.” Liang Huan said, “Can you be sure now that I’m not a heteromorph?”

“I can only be sure of half of it.” Li Yao said, “Some modified heteromorphs can be completely implanted in the human body, but it’s very rare. You better not let me catch a flaw.”

Liang Huan nodded: “Lu Biao said he found Lou Chu on the eighth floor.”

Li Yao picked up his coat on the sofa without hesitation: “Let’s go, let’s take a look.”

Liang Huan looked at his rushing back, and gently rubbed his fingertips, which still had some of the temperature of Li Yao’s skin.

He didn’t like having emotional entanglements with his subordinates, so he wanted to warn Li Yao appropriately, but Li Yao simply wanted to get a divorce. Without this marriage relationship, Li Yao would be even less likely to stay by his side. He also thought of Pei Zhong, who wouldn’t take the bait no matter how he threatened or coaxed him in the interrogation room, and his head suddenly hurt even more.

These geniuses with 3S levels were indeed all proud and difficult to subdue.

But he still liked Li Yao the most, because –

“What are you dawdling about?” Li Yao, who turned back, looked irritable.

The positioning chip, which was made into a pendant, was hung around his neck. The cool, hard touch was tightly attached to his skin. Liang Huan showed a shallow smile to the person in front of him.

“Coming.”
