Sunset Boulevard

At noon, after Pei Shu arrived in Bangkok with his people, 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 on a regular basis, but it has remained vacant.He thought it was a house that he would never have the chance to live in, but now it was of great use.

During this trip to Bangkok, Pei Shu remained low-key, saying that he had brought more than ten people with him to discuss projects and inspect the market, and a business plane was full.

When he arrived at the house, Pei Shu first left guards on all four sides of the small building, and then contacted Chen Boqiao to send him 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 an anti-peeping function. According to the infrared thermal imaging camera installed on the iron door of the villa, there are two people in the vehicle.

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 in his subordinate's hand.According to his understanding of Chen Boqiao's body shape and habits, the passenger in the passenger seat was Chen Boqiao, so the driver should be Zhang Jue.

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

Pei Shu walked over quickly, and saw the passenger's door opened, and Chen Boqiao got out of the car.He was wearing a light-colored thin linen shirt, his hair was a little longer than in the video record on the day he appeared in court, and he also wore a pair of old-fashioned sunglasses. He was refreshing, not like a wanted criminal, but like the kind of tourists that can be seen everywhere in Bangkok.

"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 few days, which was completely different from the disheveled face he had imagined.

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

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

Pei Shu followed Chen Boqiao a little closer, and watched the car window come down, and Zhang Jue's face was exposed from behind the window.

Zhang Jue also looked a little confused, he looked at Chen Boqiao without knowing it, and asked, "What's wrong?" He was as pale as Pei Shu's impression, but his hair was long and tied behind his neck, and his voice was still so soft , Pei Shu almost didn't hear clearly.

"Aren't you going to get out of the car?" Chen Boqiao asked Zhang Jue, paused, and then said, "Today's temperature is 32 degrees, 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 and expression, but listening to him talking to Zhang Jue, the speed of speech seemed to be slower than usual, and they were also weirdly close, no matter how it sounded, it sounded like he was deceiving Chapter decision.

Zhang Jue didn't notice Pei Shu who was 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 from behind, and said, "Come in and wait, there's not only one room."

Chen Boqiao looked back at Pei Shu, then turned back and opened the car door for Zhang Jue. Before Zhang Jue got out of the car, he nodded to Pei Shu as a greeting.This made Pei Shu never think that he was prepared for Zhang Jue to turn a blind eye to him.

After entering the house, 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 Union was waiting in the study to do a physical examination for Chen Boqiao.

Chen Boqiao entered the door, saw the doctors and instruments in the room, turned around and asked Pei Shu, "Is it necessary for such a big battle?"

"Of course." Pei Shuyan said concisely.Chen Boqiao stayed in prison for half a year. Although he was not at the point where he could not deliver the news, the sooner the physical examination was done, the better.

Chen Boqiao must have understood the stakes better, walked over cooperatively, and stretched out his hand to ask 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 to 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 gate of the Presidential Palace, the fifth prison changed guards."

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

Chen Boqiao put down his teacup and didn't speak.

Pei Shu's bad habit was committed, he teased Chen Boqiao: "Is it difficult to stay with such an extreme admirer like Zhang Jue for so long?"

But beyond Pei Shu's expectation, Chen Boqiao didn't remain silent as usual. He paused for a few seconds and said, "He's not extreme."

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

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

The reason why the file bag is thin is that there is not much exact information.

Some of Chen Boqiao's closest subordinates have no news at all, and a small number were transferred to troops where it was difficult to get news. Most of their family members were also implicated. disappeared.

When Chen Boqiao was in prison, Pei Shu had already contacted their family members, but because he was afraid of attracting attention for his high-profile actions, he could only protect them silently, and these protections seemed too weak in front of the president.

Chen Boqiao hung his head, flipping through a few pages back and forth.

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

"Followed me in the battle zone for half a year," Chen Boqiao said, "and were awarded honors together."

Pei Shu looked at him, but couldn't see his great sorrow and anger, as if he was only stating the ordinary past a year ago.Pei Shu had never joined the army, and lived in the north with his father. He only remembered that he had received news from Chen Boqiao many times. The figure of the bridge with plaster to offer flowers.

Chen Boqiao is a topical figure, a star in the military circle, the media prefers him, and they don't hesitate to give him close-up shots.Thinking of this, Pei Shufang remembered that every time Chen Boqiao presented flowers for his dead comrades, it seemed to be the same as now.All in order to suppress the pain and make themselves look careless.

The room seemed to be shrouded in shadows, and it was silent for a while.

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

Chen Boqiao came back to his senses, looked down, thought for a moment, then relaxed his brows a little, he smiled slightly, 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 said in a more relaxed tone, recalling in detail, "It seems that I was too nervous to be scared, knocked over the toothbrush cup, and the toothbrush fell off. I probably did it for him. He got it on when he picked up his toothbrush."

"..." Pei Shu didn't know how to comment for a moment, and he said after a while, "I said he confessed his love to you when he was divorced, but you still don't remember clearly."

He remembered Zhang Jue's gender, and said again: "But why does Zhang Jue need sedative inhibitors? Isn't he differentiated into alpha, and he is so much taller than when he was in school."

The medicine that Chen Boqiao wanted for Zhang, Pei Shu asked clearly, the medicine used by the military in North America and the newly independent countries is very effective, it is used for people with abnormal pheromones, the demand is very small, and it has never entered the sub-alliance territory.

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

"How complicated can it be?" Pei Shu curled his lips, and suddenly had a very absurd idea, and immediately shared it with Chen Boqiao, "Could it be that Zhang Jue is actually an Omega, and the only requirement to save you is that you have a fight with him—— "

"——Pei Shu," Chen Boqiao seemed to feel that Pei Shu's absurd words were ridiculous, the corners of his mouth curled up, 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 post-cruise plan, the time was almost up.

In order to make the itinerary look more realistic, Pei Shu will have dinner with the director of the hospital he bought later.Pei Shu sent Chen Boqiao out, just as he pressed his hand on the doorknob, Chen Boqiao suddenly asked from behind: "Pei Shu, what's the name of the hospital chain you bought?"

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

"I know this hospital." Chen Boqiao didn't look at Pei Shu, frowning slightly, "Can you help me—" Chen Boqiao stopped before finishing speaking, and 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 pursue it, and the two went downstairs to the reception room.

Zhang was definitely not in the reception room.

Chen Boqiao's footsteps paused slightly, and he walked directly to the open door leading to the swimming pool, and Pei Shu hurriedly followed.

As soon as he went out, Pei Shu could smell a faint smell of smoke in the air, and when he looked up, sure enough, Zhang Jue was standing by the swimming pool smoking a cigarette.Standing next to a marble column topped with an ashtray, his sleeves rolled up, a conspicuous Band-aid on his left arm, he looked bored and sleepy.

Seeing Chen Boqiao and Pei Shu, Zhang Jue didn't move extra, just stood up a little straighter, and his expression was not so loose.

"You guys are done talking." Zhang Jue said, still holding a cigarette in his hand, and the thin smoke floated upwards.

Pei Shu saw seven or eight cigarette butts in the ashtray, and before Chen Boqiao could speak, he couldn't help but said, "Zhang Jue, you didn't do your homework well. You didn't know that Chen Boqiao annoyed other people smoking the most."

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

Pei Shu swears that Chen Boqiao's distaste for tobacco and alcohol is definitely not news in the Asian League. Although Chen Boqiao doesn't say it clearly, anyone 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 possible time.

But Chen Boqiao used another set of rhetoric to Zhang Jue: "You can't say it's annoying."

"However, smoking in the army and disregarding discipline are also inappropriate." Chen Boqiao added.

Zhang Jue heaved a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, went to the pool to wash his hands, and walked back to Chen Boqiao.He is not much shorter than Chen Boqiao, but much thinner. The sun sinking in the afternoon passed through the clouds and the shade of the trees, and shone on the lower half of Zhang Jue's face. Zhang Jue's originally pale skin and lips were also gilded. Light gold like honey.

Pei Shu watched him for a few more 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 took a flat and straight look at Pei Shu through the hot and humid air mixed with insects chirping three or four meters away.
