The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers-Chapter 79

Edited By Noks

“Where is he?”

“On Planet Blood Prison.” Yan Jie continued, “Brother Xu, you guessed right. There’s really someone who's a plastic surgeon in that prison full of hardened criminals. His name is Zheng Shuo. He used to work in a plastic surgery hospital in Byron. Three years ago, a medical accident took place in this hospital. The hospital decided that it was his responsibility, so they fired him. He also lost a lot of money because of this. However, he later discovered that the issue with the drug used in the medical accident was not caused by him, but instead, someone had deliberately tampered with the medicine, in order to dig a hole for him. Once he found out about this, he asked the man to surrender himself, but the other side refused, so he sued that man. Unfortunately, due to a lack of evidence and the background of the other party being much stronger than his own, he did not achieve his desired result. At last, he angrily did away with the other party—” Yan Jie made a gesture of swiping his hand across his neck.

“Isn’t he supposed to be sentenced to death? How can he still be alive?” asked Le Yao. Although the man named Zheng Shuo was very unlucky to be trapped like that, intentionally killing someone was a capital crime.

“It’s not clear. But one thing is very interesting.” Yan Jie pulled up a picture on the communicator, which showed the very fierce face of a 40-year-old man. “This is the Chief Warden of the prison. He is an acquaintance of General Le Feishan's. I also discovered that he has a son, an Alpha, and now, Le Tianyu is with that Alpha.”

“If one's guts are big enough, Blood Prison is definitely a good place to steal the beam and change the pillar. The evidence of a guilty past can be changed into innocence with a new face,” said Xu Yao. “It’s not hard to understand why Le Feishan wanted to keep Zheng Shuo alive.”

“What shall we do next? Do you want to bring Le Tianyu back?” Yan Jie continued, “He has just finished his operation.”

“No. With so many munitions on Blood Prison, it’ll be impossible to bring a person back without any ghosts knowing. Once the other party finds out about our actions, Le Tianyu will be put to death. So we can only put this matter aside for now. In any case, Le Feishan intends to change his face. Sooner or later, he will let Le Tianyu return. At that time, find a suitable person to bring him over here.”

“Alright, do you have any other orders, Brother Xu?”

“Check again to see whose face Le Tianyu has changed into. After Zheng Shuo arrived at Blood Prison, did any of its staff quit their post?”

“Ah, I know what you mean.”

“Go.” When he finished, he turned around to see Le Yao looking at him in a daze, without blinking his eyes. Xu Yao then said, “These little lively eyes should stop staring at me like this, else I may end up late to the meeting in the afternoon.”

“But husband, you look really handsome when you analyze problems.” Le Yao wondered, “And why do you want Yan Jie to check if any Blood Prison's staff has quit their post?”

“Because if someone is really collecting money to change a prisoner's identity and face, it would be more convenient for them to change it to a person with the identity of a staff member. If this is done, then the prisoner whose face has been changed will not be able to stay in Blood Prison any more. Do you understand that? Of course, I'm just guessing. Otherwise, it'll be impossible for a person to get plastic surgery after they've grown old, if that's why they've been keeping Zheng Shuo on retainer for such a long time.”

“If that’s true, it’s too…” Le Yao frowned. “Isn’t it too horrible?”

Xu Yao said nothing.

More than horrible, it was a possibility that was very likely to be true, especially in the case of those prisoners who were to be executed. It was reported to the public that the death penalty had been carried out on the prisoners. But, who would know if the prisoners had actually died or not?

Xu Yao’s face didn't look very good either, but when he thought about how hard he had worked to accompany Le Yao and make him happy this morning, he said nothing more. He didn’t want this thing to affect his mood, so he took him into the house to unpack the little things they had bought for their children. Since they had lunch together today and hadn’t spent much time shopping, they had bought less stuff. Le Yao had purchased several baby bottles and three smart cribs.

Le Yao had been browsing and looking at these things on the Internet shopping mall, but he had always felt uneasy and didn’t dare to buy them without actually touching or seeing the real thing first. Today, if he had liked something, he just bought it!

The things he hadn’t paid attention to before now looked very attractive. All items for babies seemed very cute and either small or round.

“Le Yaoyao, in fact, you should pay attention more to your clothes. Didn’t you feel that the clothes you are wearing today are tight?” asked Xu Yao.

“Un, I feel they are.” He was used to wearing loosely fitting clothes, because he couldn't stand wearing other kinds of clothes for long. Currently, he couldn't feel his clothes being 'loose' anymore. Although he didn't think it was weird right now, he definitely wouldn’t be able to wear these clothes a few days later.

“Task for this afternoon: buy your own clothes.” Xu Yao continued, “I'll check them after I return.”

“No problem.”

Le Yao happily promised, turned around and went to go see the six eggs.

He really wanted to poke them, but couldn't bear to do so, and felt anxious. He knew there was no use in staring, but he couldn’t help looking at them frequently.

Suddenly, he looked forward to nightfall, so that he could shine a light on the eggs to check if he could see anything inside them.

Xu Yao said, “Take your time. I’ll go to work first. If I come back late, go to bed first, okay?”

Le Yao nodded and asked, “Such small eggs, would it be a bird?”

Xu Yao smiled and said nothing. He hugged Le Yao and kissed him for a moment before leaving.

It isn't a bird?

Le Yao asked Leslie, “Leslie, do you know what kind of egg this is?”

“Yes,” replied Leslie.

“What kind of egg?”

“I can’t tell you.”

Le Yao: “…”

Then Le Yao suddenly remembered the time when he was in Huaxia with Yan Jie, who had told him about the plant encyclopedia software that could check all kinds of plants in Huaxia. Is there a software that can also check all kinds of eggs?

The result: No.

So he took pictures of the eggs and compared them to those on the Internet to see if he could find any which were the same or similar, but he didn’t see any even after a long time of searching. At last, he uploaded the picture to his Tarot network's personal homepage.

As soon as he opened his homepage, he received a lot of notifications. The older notifications were of many people asking him why he had posted no news recently, while those in the newer notifications asked him if he had really gone back to school today. Some netizens had posted the photos of him and Xu Yao taken inside school to the Internet. The pictures were very clear. Xu Yao looked very handsome and he looked really… fat.

[There are three treasures in my belly: Thank you for your concern. I've really returned to Xingdu recently. Am I rounder now? Ha ha ha ha ha!]

[Xiaoniu class: Dang! Isn't your stomach so obvious?]

[Su Yun: It seems like it's only been about four months, hasn’t it?]

[The most beautiful neighbor: My brother has been pregnant for six months!]

[There are three treasures in my belly: …Don’t scare me. I’m timid. Can any of you help me in identifying this kind of egg? /picture /picture]

[Cold air: What is this? A bird egg?]

[Starfish: I think it looks like a bird’s egg, but why is it so colorful? Isn't that too fancy?]

[Taiji: I haven’t seen it before.]

[Little bamboo leaf O: Chameleon eggs?]

[There are three treasures in my belly: …]

[A go around the world: Curious. If you have any results please @me, thank you.]

[Ji Liding: Where did the eggs come from?]

[There are three treasures in my belly: My husband bought them, he said they would hatch into something, but he didn’t tell me what kind of eggs they were (╯︵╰,)]

…

Le Yao didn't find the answer from the netizens, so he simply stopped asking anymore. At this time, the 'Insomnia Treatment Group' chat suddenly ended its long silence.

[Strong wind: Is the Little Master there? Ah ah ah! Brothers! What the Little Master gave really works!]

[Dark cloud: Have you got it?]

[Strong wind: I got it. I got it yesterday and I slept really well until dawn. I usually need to lie down for at least an hour before I can fall asleep. But today, I went to sleep early in the morning and didn't wake up until now! Haven’t dreamt yet!]

[Thunder: Really? Is it so effective?]

[Strong wind: Come on, I will broadcast a live view of me for you now!]

[Strong wind: /Live video]

The video posted by Strong wind to the group showed an uncle in his forties with a bedhead as messy as a chicken coop. He said, “I haven’t slept this well in many years. Thank you, Little Master. You really are my second parent!”

[Little Master: Ha ha ha, you speak a lot. Anyway, do you usually not eat on time? Your stomach doesn't seem to be in a good condition. You’d better eat on time later.]

[Thunder: Ah? Something like this also can be seen?!]

[Sun: Didn't Lao Ye say something like this before?]

[Nature: No, I've said nothing about that.]

[Strong wind: In short, it’s really, very useful. Hey, I say, you guys should go to Lao Ye’s place to get it. Hurry up. Really, it’s good enough for you to start doubting life. Do you understand? Whoever goes late will regret!]

[Dark cloud: Fine! I'll surely go today. Are you free tonight, Lao Ye?]

[Nature: Yes.]

[Strong wind: Why don’t we just get together tonight?]

[Nature: Okay.]

[Strong wind: Little Master, can you come? Let’s have a meal together if it’s convenient for you. I’ll treat you to this meal.]

[Little Master: I won’t come. Because of a special condition, I have to sleep early at night.]

[Nature: He has to rest more. We’ll talk about eating with him later.]

The people in this group were relatively older. The matter that Ye Linran was referring to, they could obviously understand it, so they didn’t pursue it anymore.

Nonetheless, Strong wind might really have suffered from insomnia for too long. This sudden shift into the better made him inevitably excited, to the extent that he poured out countless 'thank you's. He also contacted Ye Linran privately and asked if he could send something to the Little Master. Although the Little Master had previously said that there was no charge on the pendants, but after experiencing how the thing really worked and not having had to pay any money for it, he felt that it was a little hard to accept. Not to mention the fact that the age of the Little Master seemed to be quite young, since he called Ye Linran as Uncle Ye, he was obviously younger.

Ye Linran replied, “Actually, it's fine if you want to send something, but he doesn’t lack for anything. Just give him something simple with sincere emotions. I don’t think he will accept a gift if it’s too expensive.”

Strong wind then asked, “Hey, Lao Ye, who is this man, can’t you tell me his identity?”

Ye Linran immediately called Le Yao, “Le Yao, do you want to keep your identity secret from everyone in the group?”

“That's not necessary. Before, since my main consideration was for their experience with the effect of the pendant, I didn’t mention my name. Now that it's a success, I think it’s alright to reveal my identity. I may need their help in the future.”

Ye Linran then told Strong wind, “Little Master is General Xu Yao's wife. He is pregnant, so he can’t come out at night unless the two of them are together. But even if you know about this, don’t tell anyone.”

Strong wind was startled, “General Xu Yao's wife knows something like this?”

“He knows a lot more than we do.”

“Alright. If he needs any help, you can tell him to look for me in the group. This thing has really surprised me. I can’t remember how many years it has been since I've slept this well. I’m going to push every other work aside. I’m going to have a good sleep these next few days!”

Ye Linran: “…”

Upon hearing Ye Linran’s words, Le Yao couldn’t help but laugh, and then conveniently posted the picture of the eggs on the group.

[Little Master: Have any of you seen this kind of egg? Does anyone know what kind of egg it is? I can’t find it online.]

[Dark cloud: Has this egg been painted? It's color is too gorgeous.]

Le Yao froze and stared at the eggs for a long time after reading Dark cloud's comment. It seemed that an egg had been hatching for some time before it reached him, so some cracks had appeared on the eggshell, and the surface was not smooth. So, noticing if the color was originally like this or not, was hard…

Just when Le Yao thought about whether he should take another picture of the eggs, a more obvious crack suddenly appeared on one side of the egg!

A black little head started coming out! Two small sesame bead eyes stared at the outside world.
