Chapter 84: The Pearl Is Covered in Dust but Its Brilliance Cannot Be Obscured (36)

Although five full years and more than 1,800 days and nights have passed, Pei Shu still cannot get used to the life of being under house arrest.

His longing for his homeland grew day by day, and every second felt long. Even if Country M had not inflicted physical violence on him, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Pei." General Rice knocked on the door in a gentlemanly manner, but walked straight in without waiting for the owner's consent, "How have you been lately?"

Pei Shu's room was very simple, with sparse furnishings and no sense of life. It was hard to believe that someone had lived here for five years.

Pei Shu sat on the only chair in the room. He didn't even have the words to say anything and just looked at him expressionlessly.

In the past, other people were responsible for the arrangements for Pei Shu and others. Admiral Rice did not pay attention to such trivial matters. Although he had heard that these people were very resistant to Country M, he did not suffer the cold shoulder personally.

Admiral Rice's temper is not considered good, but given his status, he is usually praised by others. The only people who can show him favor are the President and Shen Minghuan. How can a mere Pei Shu be qualified?

"Mr. Pei." Admiral Rice's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still managed to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor: "I really don't understand why you are always thinking about that country that is so poor that you don't have enough to eat? Country M can give it to you. Better living conditions will give you better development opportunities. Can these Chinese countries give you that?”

Pei Shu showed a sarcastic smile and said, "People like you will never understand what it means to be sentimental about family and country. If you only care about the country's life and death, how can you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings? Although I am useless, I am willing to serve the country with my life and do not seek wealth. ”

"What a stupid persistence." Admiral Rice sneered: "You are thinking about your country here, and you want to die for her, China doesn't care. Listen, Country M is willing to give you one last chance -"

He approached, half bewitching and half threatening, "Join the nationality of country M and work for our country M. I guarantee you will get whatever you want."

"Bah." Pei Shu spat at him with a look of disdain.

General Rice was furious. He stretched out his foot and kicked Pei Shu hard. He was not relieved, and kicked Pei Shu who was lying on the ground several times. "You don't know what's good and what's good!"

Pei Shu fell to the ground with a chair. He had not seen the light of day for five years. Naturally, his body was not strong. At this moment, he only felt continuous pain in his chest and abdomen.

He curled up on the ground, gritting his teeth and refusing to cry out in pain.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the adjutant hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Sir, if he dies, we won't be able to explain to Hua Guo. Don't forget, we have to exchange him for Shen Minghuan."

Admiral Rice retracted his feet and dusted the hem of his clothes and trousers, as if he felt that just touching Pei Shu would stain his clothes.

Pei Shu lay on the ground and closed his eyes slightly. His eyelashes twitched when he heard these words.

Shen Minghuan? He vaguely remembered that one of his former classmates also had this name, but he was not familiar with him.

Country M’s target is Shen Minghuan, why?

"Mr. Errol said that Pei Shu is a man of great talent, but I think it's nothing more than that. He hasn't written a single word in five years, and I'm afraid he has long since become a waste." I originally wanted to fight for it, but even though I had done it with Hua Guo Trade, but if their people are unwilling to leave, China has nothing to do.

Pei Shu has great talent and great potential. He thought he would be the easiest to persuade at this age, but it's a pity.

Admiral Rice glanced coldly at Pei Shu, who was half-dead on the ground. "Find him a doctor. Don't let him die. I don't want any accidents to happen."

Perhaps out of a desire to show off, General Rice mocked viciously: "Mr. Pei, your country is as stupid as you. They actually agreed to trade Shen Minghuan for you. Ha, ten Peishus combined are more than Just a Shen Minghuan.”

Admiral Rice gave him a disdainful look, turned around and left with his adjutant.

Pei Shu listened to the sound of the door being locked beside his ears. He sat up with difficulty and coughed uncontrollably.

The movement affected the injury, and there was a bit of pain between his brows.

Pei Shuan sat quietly for a while, thinking he had recovered a little, so he stumbled up and sent a message to the Feihu team according to the previously agreed contact information.

He knew that the doctor would not come so soon. The person monitoring him might only give him a tube of ointment after a long time after seeing that he could still stand and walk.

For the first time, Pei Shu felt lucky about this, which undoubtedly bought him a lot of time.

As soon as the door to the room was closed, the arrogant General Rice asked the adjutant: "To what extent have the negotiations with China progressed? Have you made an appointment at a time and place?"

The adjutant lowered his head, "No, everything went smoothly up front, but as soon as they heard that we were going to change the transaction partner to Shen Minghuan, they started to curse."

"...are Chinese people sick?"

Admiral Rice was in disbelief. He rubbed his ears to confirm that his hearing was normal. "What's the reason? Or do they already know Shen Minghuan's ability?"

The adjutant lowered his head, "No, they said... no Chinese can be left behind."

Admiral Rice paused. He couldn't understand: "Are China kidding me? Do they think I will believe this excuse?"

Admiral Rice was angry.

Jiang Li and Gu Wenjing were even more angry than him.

Jiang Li cursed at the top of his lungs: "It's not dark yet, what are you daydreaming about? Are my students something they can dream about?"

Even if Shen Minghuan remains as unknown as before, it is impossible for him to allow such a ridiculous "sacrifice". He could accept that thousands of descendants of China would be stained with blood on the battlefield, but the betrayal and abandonment of one of his own people was too much.

"Do you think we will agree if you bring Pei Shu and the others up for discussion? You are underestimating the Chinese." Gu Wenjing also said with a sneer.

If Pei Shu and those old friends knew that he returned to China in this way, they would definitely beat them all with sticks, and then force them to find a way to exchange them back.

Ji Wangchen didn't say anything, but his expression clearly agreed. He waited patiently for his angry friends to finish swearing, and then got back to business: "That spy named Han Aimin still refuses to say anything?"

"No, it's been three days, and he's still scolding Ming Huan." Gu Wenjing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "It's the same few sentences over and over again, saying that Ming Huan deceived him and hurt his feelings, oh, he also said that Ming Huan is Frost, isn't this funny?"

Shen Minghuan has never been abroad. Frost was not long ago in M ​​country doing research on a project that is known as the world's top and most technologically advanced. If Shen Minghuan is Frost, does he have the ability to clone himself or teleport?

They didn't dare to believe everything Han Aimin said, but they didn't completely disbelieve it. At least seeing how sincere he was in scolding, it seemed that Shen Minghuan must have left a big shadow on him.

The three people present were pleased to see this.

Jiang Li scratched his head, "Old man Gu, are you addicted to staying in Tong County? Hurry up and bring my students back."

"Do you think I don't want to?" Gu Wenjing said unhappily, "Do you have the ability to urge your students? If he agrees, I can leave immediately."

Ji Wangchen has re-examined Kyoto from top to bottom. Although the person threatening Shen Minghuan has not been determined, he is definitely capable of protecting them tightly.

Shen Minghuan's situation of being so powerless that he can only choose to cover up his glory with mud will never happen again.

Jiang Li sighed, "Why don't you think Ming Huan is willing to come back?"

Gu Wenjing also sighed, his tone was muffled: "We don't know what the spy threatened Ming Huan with, it seems that it is very important to Ming Huan."

"Based on my understanding of Ming Huan, I can't think of it." Jiang Li scratched his hair irritably: "Ji Wangchen, can you guess it?"

Ji Wangchen shook his head. He had a vague guess in his heart, so he seemed particularly silent today.

Gu Wenjing on the phone snorted, "What can you think of? Do you know Ming Huan? Don't flatter yourself, it's ridiculous."

"Hey, old man Gu, let me remind you, this is my student, I..." Just as Jiang Li rolled up his sleeves to fight Gu Wenjing for three hundred rounds, he heard a clear "dong dong dong" knock on the door from Gu Wenjing's direction.

Gu Wenjing temporarily shut up, looking calm, reliable, calm and self-sustaining.

He was completely overly worried. Their chat was confidential and ordinary people couldn't hear it.

"So you don't have to worry about your true identity being exposed." Ji Wangchen laughed and teased.

Xu Yi went out and exchanged a few words with the soldier who knocked on the door, then hurried in, "Professor, there is a man who claims to be Shen Minghuan at the entrance of the base who wants to see you."

"What?" Gu Wenjing exclaimed and hurriedly stood up, "Why don't you invite him in?"

Even if he hadn't seen him yet, he was sure that the one outside was Shen Minghuan.

The second before the call was hung up, Jiang Li screamed into the microphone: "Old man Gu, bring my student back, that's mine! My student!"

Shen Minghuan stood quietly at the entrance of the base waiting. Although it was called the entrance, it was actually not far away.

After all, it was a military base, and he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, so he was discovered by the patrolling soldiers before he got close.

Shen Minghuan honestly stated his identity and purpose, and the soldiers went back to ask for instructions half-believingly.

The system hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help it and asked hesitantly: [Host, do you really want to do this? ]

Shen Minghuan immediately showed an indescribable expression when he heard this, [Xiaojiu, you are so unprofessional. Think about it, if I don’t leave, how can your son become the greatest scientist of this era? ]

Shen Minghuan spoke out, full of confidence: [Do you think he can surpass me? ]

The system thought about it seriously, [Although he is the protagonist, he has a halo and can cheat, and his fingers are golden, and the heaven will protect him... but of course my host is the best. ]

The system was inexplicably excited, but soon it was entangled: [But if this is the case, the village chief and others will be very sad, right? Host, you...]

[Indeed. ] Shen Minghuan thought for a while, [It doesn’t matter, I have thought of a way. ]

Death is necessary, but you can live in another way.

Yun Fan will become the greatest scientist, but he doesn’t want "Shen Minghuan" to leave so plainly.
