Chapter 207 - 207 207 The Creator of Beidou Star
Chapter 207: Chapter 207 The Creator of Beidou Star Chapter 207: Chapter 207 The Creator of Beidou Star “[Boss, it seems that the Singer went to the abandoned laboratory on Beidou Star. Should we intercept?]
What is Pei Jue doing at the abandoned laboratory on Beidou Star?
Qingwu quickly replied to the message.
[No need, let him be.]
Since Pei Jue wanted to investigate, even if she stopped him now, he would find his own way to uncover the truth.
Everything that should have been destroyed in that laboratory had been, leaving no traces behind.
Qingwu wasn’t worried that Pei Jue would find anything he wasn’t supposed to see.
Tian Ji looked at the satellite images with amazement.
“The Singer is indeed one of the boss’s people, this method is as unethical as the boss’s, hehe, soon the Dark Web will be ours!”
The High Tower was theirs, and the Deep Sea belonged to their boss’s fiancé, so what difference did it make that it was all theirs?
Po Jun sighed, “Who would’ve thought we’d have a day where we could just lie down and win, all thanks to the boss!”
At the dining table, Elder Pei was reminiscing about the past.
Elder Shen, feeling a bit annoyed, interrupted him, “As I recall, doesn’t your third have three sons? A-Jue is the youngest, right? Where are the other kids?”
“Yes, A-Jue’s two older brothers are married with kids, while only A-Jue is still single. Otherwise, why would I be anxious? The children have their own lives now; I’m just an old man with no one to keep me company!”
The Pei Family wasn’t like the Shen Family. Elder Shen only had Shen Dongli, and there weren’t many complications from other branches.
The Pei Family had been tumultuous since the first generation that gained prominence. Before Pei Jue took over the family’s affairs, there was constant internal conflict. When Pei Jue rose to power, things finally settled down.
Even now, there were still undercurrents, with many unscrupulous people watching and waiting for an opportunity to snatch a piece from the Pei Clan.
Elder Pei shook his head.
“What happened back then had a big impact on the brothers, especially A-Jue. He went abroad for several years without a word. When he returned, he was covered in scars, but he told me he would support the future of the Pei Family.”
Elder Pei’s face showed signs of age yet bore a smile of proud yet bitter satisfaction.
“I’m old! This family is broken, A-Jue’s two brothers are busy with work, and at this age, I can’t cling to the kids.”
“I should have listened to Ye Qilan back then and not gotten involved in the Pei Family’s mess! At least the family could have stayed together.”
Elder Shen snorted, “Ye Qilan talks smoothly, but he’s oblivious. Wasn’t it him who insisted on founding Beidou Star back then?”
Qingwu’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
She looked at Elder Shen, “Grandfather, the Beidou Star you’re talking about, is it the one on the border?”
Shen Lisu nonchalantly waved his hand, though there was a touch of wistfulness in his eyes.
“It’s not important. I heard it doesn’t exist now. I really regret not blowing up Beidou Star’s laboratory with a shell back then.”
“Come on, do you really think you could blow up Beidou Star? Their lab is still on the border, try bombing one and show me. You’ll probably get axed by someone surnamed Xiao as soon as you step on the border.”
Beidou Star’s laboratory was made from special materials, and destroying it wasn’t that easy.
Qingwu was surprised that both elders seemed to have some understanding of Beidou Star’s past.
Did they say Ye Qilan was the creator of Beidou Star?
Elder Shen grumbled, “I just can’t stand Ye Qilan’s ways! He takes perfectly good kids and uses them for experiments—it’s sinful!”
Elder Pei shook his head.
“All right, stop with the nonsense, it’s all in the past. Don’t you know Ye Qilan is a madman? Who else would experiment on himself just for the sake of his ideals?”
He didn’t continue but shook his head with a complicated expression, looking at the younger generation before him.
“If you encounter people from Beidou Star outside, don’t interact with them, okay? Most of them are crazy.”
Qingwu quietly pressed her forehead.
If she told the Shen Family and Elder Pei now that she had also stayed at Beidou Star, would they be scared?
Qingwu pursed her lips and said softly, “Grandfather, I’m starting school next month. I noticed our school principal is also named Ye Qilan, is it just a coincidental name?”
“Starting school? That’s great, wonderful! I’ll send you to it then. Wait, did you say your principal’s name is Ye Qilan!”
Hearing Qingwu was going to university, Elder Shen’s face was all smiles.
But hearing the latter half, he was completely startled!
He leaped up, hurriedly pulling Elder Pei into the study room.
“Xiao Wu, wait while Grandpa checks into it!”
It was clear that both Elder Shen and Elder Pei were quite concerned about the name Ye Qilan.
Shen Shaojia watched the two hurriedly leave, “What’s wrong with Grandpa? Is that Ye Qilan very important? Hey, does Second Brother have surgery today? Why didn’t he come back for dinner?”
Zuo Wanjun smiled gently, “He said he was busy, told us not to wait. That child might as well make the hospital his home! Xiao Wu, you’re about to start university soon, don’t feel any pressure, you’re the youngest in our family, and Mom has no demands of you.”
She cupped her face, gazing lovingly at Qingwu with her eyes full of affection.
“I raised your brother and sister with a free hand, who would’ve guessed they’d be this smart? At first, I thought that when your big brother scored full marks on his first exam, it was just a genetic lottery!”
Shen Dongli nodded hastily beside her.
“Yes, yes, who knew the ones after would be just as smart, must be our excellent genes! Xiao Wu, don’t worry, as long as you are happy, your parents will support whatever you do.”
The Shen couple worried that the excellence of Qingwu’s older siblings might stress her out.
They had seen enough news of kids depressed and committing suicide due to academic pressure, and it terrified them.
Shen’s children being ordinary was fine by them, especially since their precious daughter was already outstanding!
They were always particularly cautious and subconsciously wanted to compensate for Qingwu’s past traumas.
Qingwu nodded, “I know.”
Zuo Wanjun spoke again, “Shaojia mentioned bringing that child from the Su Family over to stay for a few days. Where is she? I’ve arranged her room.”
“That child has had a tough life. Imagine the hardships living under the Su Family. Her mother would be heartbroken if she were still alive.”
The Su Family’s conduct had always been criticized in the elite circles.
The fact that both Su Yao and Su Wenyin were illegitimate but still made it onto the family register and took charge of the Su Family showed that Elder Su was of questionable character.
Growing up in such a den of wolves was by no means easy!
Zuo Wanjun then thought of Qingwu’s past life as well, and her heart ached.
Qingwu understood that Zuo Wanjun was extending her concern to her friend because of her love for her.
“I’ll call her later to ask.”
“Great! Make sure she comes, I’ve always wished for another daughter!”
In the corner, the maid observed the harmonious scene among the Shen family and quietly slipped away to make a phone call to Su Yurou…”
