After Cen Xiaoran left, Pei Yan spent two peaceful days, which could even be described as two days of happiness. During this ti, he truly experienced what it ant to be cared for ticulously; with attendants catering to his every need, even two beautiful won knelt by the door when he went to the bathroom to see him off. Initially, he felt quite unaccustod, but soon he beca sowhat addicted to it.
No wonder ancient emperors would neglect their morning etings once they had beauties in their palaces. No wonder the ancients said that the land of tenderness is the grave of heroes. While reclining in a beautiful woman’s arms, sipping through a straw she handed him, Pei Yan thought leisurely that it didn’t matter, and he might as well enjoy these two days. He comforted himself by considering it a holiday.
In addition to physical and ntal relaxation over the past two days, Pei Yan was surprised to find that through diet and massage from beautiful won, his control over his body was recovering at an astonishing speed. The recovery was so good that sotis Pei Yan felt a little embarrassed looking at himself.
The two joyful days passed like the snap of a finger, and soon it was the day of his appointnt with Lin Junzhao. With Lin Ruxue’s assurance, Pei Yan didn’t feel much apprehension. According to the arrangent made with Lin Ruxue, during this ti of Lin Junzhao’s awakening, he would completely fall into a deep sleep, giving them a private space for them to be alone together.
Two days later, Pei Yan awoke in a warm spring, rubbing his drowsy head. Staring at his naked lower body, he suddenly stood up from the water, only to realize that there were a group of beautiful won attending to him around. Blushing, he covered his groin and plopped back into the water, exclaiming, "Where is this?!"
"Young Master, this is still Lady Ruxue’s private space," one of the attendants replied with a charming smile, stepping forward.
"Where’s your Lady? Where is she? "
"The Lady said that once you awake, I should wait and take you to the living room to see her."
"Quickly take to see her!" Pei Yan was about to get up from the water again but felt it improper and sat back, ordering, "You all go outside and wait for at the door. I’ll co out once I change my clothes!"
Amidst teasing laughter, Pei Yan, wearing a wide bathrobe, followed a graceful young lady to the living room. She gestured with an open palm for him to enter, then stepped aside. Pei Yan, unreservedly, strode into the living room and imdiately saw Lin Ruxue sitting on the sofa playing a console ga.
"What on earth happened these two days? Why did I wake up naked in a bath? What did Lin Junzhao do?" Pei Yan plopped down next to Lin Ruxue, bombarding her with questions.
"You don’t need to worry. I’ve made an agreent with her. After I paid a certain price, she won’t do anything excessive in this world anymore. She’s now a spectator, wanting to see between her and who’s truly right." Lin Ruxue said nonchalantly while manipulating the console controller.
Pei Yan tilted his head, questioning further, "What do you an by making an agreent? What exactly happened during those two days?"
Apparently irritated by the questioning, Lin Ruxue paused her ga, turned to him, and smiled, "Why do you care what happened? Regardless of what happened, it doesn’t concern you, right? Wasn’t it your promise with her? She will keep her promise and ensure no radical actions are taken, which is already very rare. Besides, aren’t you the one who gained the most?"
"What do you an by ’I’m the one who gained the most’? What did I gain?" With a puzzled look, Pei Yan questioned Lin Ruxue, who wore a mischievous smile on her face.
"Figure it out yourself. I’m busy here. If you need anything, just have Xiaocen bring you to see ." Lin Ruxue said, waving her hand. Suddenly rembering sothing, she took out a ring and threw it to Pei Yan, saying, "These things are for you and your sister. You two are too weak. Lin Junzhao acquired these benefits for you. The instructions are all written inside. You may go now."
"Hey, this...."
Before Pei Yan could ask another question, a flash of white light passed, and all the scenery before his eyes vanished rapidly. When Pei Yan regained consciousness, he found himself standing alone, wearing a bathrobe in the Investigation Hall. The passing investigators stopped and pointed at him. Pei Yan looked at the crowd around him, then down at the ring in his hand, and growled, "Damn it!"
"That’s all that happened during my ti there." Pei Yan sat on the sofa, eating a boxed al brought from the cafeteria. While eating, he recounted everything he experienced over the past few days to the senior leaders in front of him.
"Regarding the events that occurred during her two-day awakening, you really don’t rember anything? Try recalling once more." Gu Shenghui leaned in and asked.
"Ha!" Pei Yan exhaled a long breath, put down his chopsticks, and said helplessly, "I’ve said it many tis, I don’t rember anything about those two days, not a single thing! Even the Suzi in my head was forcibly shut down, leaving no video records. Otherwise, I would be more eager than you to know what happened!"
After hearing Pei Yan’s account, everyone exchanged glances, seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying. However, knowing that Lin Junzhao wouldn’t go on a killing spree and would adhere to rules, everyone’s previously anxious hearts were much relieved. Cen Xiaoran picked up the ring beside Pei Yan, played with it for a mont, and then inquired, "Did the Lady give this to you?"
"Yes!"
"Take a rest, et with your sister and friends. They’ve been worried about you. Attend to this matter again after you adjust your state. No need to rush. As divine ambitions wane, there will be relative peace in the country, and you won’t have any tasks for a while." Cen Xiaoran reminded, returning the ring to its place.
"Cen Hall, I want to ask sothing!" Pei Yan wiped his mouth and said.
"Go ahead!"
"I heard from my companions about a mission involving a girl nad Lei Yunzhu that I handled. Was her family murdered and she disappeared?" Pei Yan picked up the ring on the table and wore it on his finger, asking in a deep voice.
"Ah, there is such a case!" Hearing this question, Gu Shenghui frowned, involuntarily recalling Song Mingyuan, who died in prison. The importance of Pei Yan to the Investigation Hall had now risen to a new level, far beyond what he could simply manipulate in the past. Could it be that his stubborn sense of justice was resurfacing? Well, it’s both a good thing and a bad thing.
"Any leads?"
Hearing Pei Yan’s follow-up question, i Simiao took over the conversation and said, "We have a few, but not many, and it’s currently almost ruled out that it was divine ambitions. The target is pinpointed as interdinsional invaders. Based on the scene and the clues left behind, it is undoubtedly the work of magic plane traversers, likely connected to the mastermind behind the Song Mingyuan case. But clearly, this ti they’ve learned from experience and left no trace on our electronic monitoring equipnt. We are continuously following up on their capture using other thods."
"Ah, alright. If you need my help, feel free to ask. Let know if you find the culprit and go on a mission! Thank you!" Pei Yan stood up, saluted everyone present, and swiftly exited the office, leaving a group of senior leaders looking at each other in bewildernt.
