At 12 noon, after Pei Shu brought people to Bangkok, he rushed to a villa area in the southwest of Bangkok without stopping.

His father bought a property here many years ago and hired someone to take care of it regularly, but it has been sitting idle. He thought it was a house that he would never have the chance to live in in his life, but now it is of great use.

On this trip to Bangkok, Pei Shu still kept a low profile. He said that he was negotiating projects and inspecting the market. He brought more than ten people and filled a business plane.

When he got to the house, Pei Shu first left guards on all sides of the small building, and then contacted Chen Boqiao and sent the location.

An hour later, an off-road vehicle drove towards the gate of Pei Shu's house. The front windshield of the off-road vehicle has a privacy function. According to the infrared thermal imager installed on the iron door of the villa, there are two people in the car.

As soon as the subordinate came to report to Pei Shu, Chen Boqiao also called: "Open the door."

Pei Shu ordered someone to open the iron door, and before going downstairs, he looked down at the picture of the imager on his subordinate's hand. According to his understanding of Chen Boqiao's body type and habits, the person in the co-pilot is Chen Boqiao, so the person driving should be Zhang Jue.

The off-road vehicle slowly drove into the main road, and finally stopped on the left side of the house, under a few tall trees with luxuriant branches.

Pei Shu walked over quickly, and saw that the co-pilot's door opened, and Chen Boqiao got out of the car. He was wearing a light-colored thin linen shirt, his hair was slightly longer than in the video record of the day he appeared in court, and he was wearing old-fashioned sunglasses.

"Pei Shu." Chen Boqiao took off his sunglasses and nodded to Pei Shu.

Pei Shu found that Chen Boqiao seemed to be living quite well these days, completely different from the dismal face he imagined.

Chen Boqiao walked towards Pei Shu first, and after taking two steps, he stopped suddenly, and looked back as if he had remembered something.

"Wait." Chen Boqiao said while turning around, he walked back, walked around the front of the car to the driver's seat, leaned down slightly, and knocked on the window.

Pei Shu followed Chen Boqiao closer, watching the car window down, Zhang Jue's face was exposed from behind the window.

Zhang Jue also looked a little confused. He looked at Chen Boqiao in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?" He was as pale as Pei Shu's impression, but his hair was long, and his voice was still so soft. , Pei Shu almost didn't hear it.

"Don't get out of the car?" Chen Boqiao asked Zhang Jue, paused for a while, and then said, "It's thirty-two degrees today, isn't it hot to stay in the car?"

Chen Boqiao turned his back to Pei Shu, and Pei Shu couldn't see his face or expression, but when he heard him talking to Zhang Jue, the speed of his speech seemed to be slower than usual, and his approach was strangely close. Chapter decision.

Zhang Jue didn't notice Pei Shu behind Chen Boqiao at all, he just looked at Chen Boqiao intently, with a little hesitation on his face: "Shall I go in too?"

Pei Shu cleared his throat and said, "Come in and wait, it's not just one room."

Chen Boqiao looked back at Pei Shu, then turned back to open the car door for Zhang Jue, Zhang Jue got out of the car, he nodded to Pei Shu, and said hello. This made Pei Shu never imagine that he had prepared Zhang Jue to turn a blind eye to him.

After entering the room, Pei Shu asked his subordinates to take Zhang Jue to the reception room by the swimming pool, while he took Chen Boqiao to the study on the second floor. The personal doctor he brought from the Asian League was waiting in the study room to do a physical examination for Chen Boqiao.

Chen Boqiao entered the door, saw the doctor and the instruments in the room, turned around and asked Pei Shu, "Is there any need for such a big battle?"

"Of course." Pei Shuyan said concisely. Chen Boqiao stayed in prison for half a year, although not to the point where he couldn't pass the news at all, the sooner he did the physical examination, the better.

Chen Boqiao must have a better understanding of the stakes involved, he walked over cooperatively, and reached out for the doctor to draw blood for him.

The examination lasted for more than half an hour. After the doctor went out, Pei Shucai said, "We are going to send a few more people on the cruise ship you are on."

Chen Boqiao took a sip of tea, nodded, and asked Pei Shu, "Zhang Jue mentioned to me that after the demonstration at the entrance of the Presidential Palace, the guards of the Fifth Prison were replaced."

"Yes, we have noticed," Pei Shu stopped and raised his eyebrows at Chen Boqiao, "Zhang Jue is well-informed."

Chen Boqiao put down the teacup and said nothing.

Pei Shu's bad behavior was committed, and he teased Chen Boqiao: "Isn't it hard to stay with such an extreme admirer as Zhang Jue for so long?"

But contrary to Pei Shu's expectations, Chen Boqiao did not remain silent as usual. He paused for a few seconds and said, "He is not extreme."

Pei Shu was stunned for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it in detail. The two looked at each other for a while, and Pei Shu remembered something, and then became a little heavy: "You asked yesterday about the situation of your comrade-in-arms, and I asked about it for you."

He handed the thin document bag on the table to Chen Boqiao, who took it over and took out the paper inside to look at it.

The file bag is thin because there is not much exact information.

Some of Chen Boqiao's closest subordinates have no news at all, and a small number are transferred to the army where it is difficult to obtain information. Most of their family members are also implicated. disappeared.

When Chen Boqiao was in prison, Pei Shu had already contacted their family members, but because he was afraid of being noticed by his high-profile actions, he could only protect him from the shadows, and these protections seemed too weak in front of the president.

Chen Boqiao lowered his head and looked at a few pages back and forth.

After an unbearably long silence, Chen Boqiao neatly folded the paper.

"Follow me in the war zone for half a year," Chen Boqiao said, "and awarded honors together."

Pei Shu looked at him, but could not see his great sadness and anger, as if he was only recounting the plain past a year ago. Pei Shu has never joined the army and lives in the north with his father. He only remembers that he has received news from Chen Boqiao many times. Chen Boqiao is in the hospital. The figure of the bridge in plaster to lay flowers.

Chen Boqiao is a topical figure and a star in the military circle. The media favors him and gives him close-up shots. Thinking of this, Pei Shufang remembered that every time Chen Boqiao presented flowers for his deceased comrades, it seemed to be the same as the present. In order to suppress the pain, and make themselves seem careless.

The room seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and it was quiet for a while.

Pei Shu wanted to change the subject, glanced around, saw a small piece of strange white dirt on the edge of Chen Boqiao's shirt, like dried paint, he pointed and asked, "Boqiao, what's on your clothes."

Chen Boqiao regained his senses and looked down. After thinking for a moment, his brows stretched a little. He smiled and said, "Zhang Jue did it."

"how did you make it?"

"I met him brushing his teeth in the bathroom in the morning," Chen Boqiao's tone was also much more relaxed, he recalled in detail, "I seem to have been so frightened that I overturned the toothbrush cup and dropped the toothbrush. He got it when he picked up his toothbrush."

"..." Pei Shu didn't know how to evaluate it for a while, and after a while, he said, "When he was divorced, I said that he confessed to you, but you still can't remember."

He remembered Zhang Jue's gender and said again, "But what does Zhang Jue want a sedative inhibitor for? Isn't he differentiated into an alpha, he is so much taller than when he was in school."

The kind of medicine Chen Boqiao asked for Zhang Jue, Pei Shu asked clearly, the military medicine in North America and the newly independent countries is very powerful, it is used for people with abnormal pheromone, the demand is very small, and it has never flowed into the Asian alliance. territory.

Chen Boqiao didn't answer directly, he shook his head and said, "It's very complicated."

"How complicated can it be," Pei Shu pouted, suddenly came up with a very absurd idea, and immediately shared with Chen Boqiao, "Could it be that Zhang Jue is actually an Omega, the only requirement to save you is that you have a shot with him—"

"—Pei Shu," Chen Boqiao also seemed to find Pei Shu's absurd remarks ridiculous, the corner of his mouth hooked, and he calmly stopped Pei Shu's wild imagination, "Do you have a lot of time today?"

After the two talked about the details of Chen Boqiao's plan after boarding the cruise, it was almost time.

In order to make the itinerary look more realistic, Pei Shu had to have dinner with the director of the hospital he acquired for a while. Pei Shu sent Chen Boqiao out, and just as he put his hand on the door handle, Chen Boqiao suddenly asked from behind, "Pei Shu, what is the name of the chain hospital you bought?"

Pei Shu told Chen Boqiao the original name of the hospital, and then introduced proudly: "This is the headquarters in Bangkok, with an advanced concept and good business. The brand has just been changed these days."

"I know this hospital," Chen Boqiao frowned slightly without looking at Pei Shu, "Can you help me—" Chen Boqiao stopped before he finished speaking. After a few seconds, he said again: "never mind."

Pei Shu had never seen Chen Boqiao so indecisive, but Chen Boqiao seemed unwilling to mention it again, so Pei Shu didn't ask any further questions, and the two went downstairs and went to the reception room.

Zhang Jue was not in the reception room.

Chen Boqiao's footsteps paused for a moment, then walked directly to the open door leading to the swimming pool, and Pei Shu quickly followed.

As soon as he went out, Pei Shu smelled a faint smell of smoke in the air. When he looked up, Zhang Jue was standing by the pool and smoking. He stood next to a marble column with an ashtray at the top, his sleeves rolled up and a prominent Band-Aid on his left arm, looking bored and sleepy.

Seeing Chen Boqiao and Pei Shu, Zhang Jue didn't make any extra moves, he just stood up straighter and his expression was not so loose.

"You're done talking." Zhang Jue said, still holding the cigarette in his hand, and thin smoke drifted upward.

Seeing seven or eight cigarette butts in the ashtray, Pei Shu couldn't help but say, "Zhang Jue, you haven't done your homework well. You don't know that Chen Boqiao bothers others to smoke the most."

Zhang Jue obviously didn't know, he froze for a while, quickly put out the remaining half of the cigarette in the ashtray at hand, then turned his head, looked at Chen Boqiao nervously, and silently asked for confirmation.

Pei Shu swears that Chen Boqiao's dislike of tobacco and alcohol is definitely not news in the Asian League. Although Chen Boqiao doesn't know what to say, everyone who can get in touch with Chen Boqiao knows that as long as they come out to socialize, they will be on the same stage with Chen Boqiao. If someone smokes and gets drunk, Chen Boqiao will definitely leave the venue in the shortest time possible.

But Chen Boqiao told Zhang Jue another set of words: "I can't say it's annoying."

"But smoking in the army and flouting discipline is not proper." Chen Boqiao added.

Zhang Jue heaved a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, washed his hands by the sink again, and walked back to Chen Boqiao. He was not much shorter than Chen Boqiao, but much thinner. The sun gradually sinking in the afternoon passed through the clouds and shades of trees, and illuminated the lower half of Zhang Jue's face. Zhang Jue's pale skin and lips were also plated. honey-like light gold.

Pei Shu looked at him for a few seconds, then looked away, and found that Chen Boqiao was also watching.

"Let's go, we're done talking." Chen Boqiao raised his hand and lightly tapped Zhang Jue's shoulder.

After Zhang Jue turned around, Chen Boqiao turned his face to the side, and looked at Pei Shu flatly and directly across the three or four meters of hot and humid air mixed with the chirping of insects.
