Picking Up An Alpha On Garbage Star - Chapter 34.1

Xie Yu said, “I placed something in the fighter jet, and I want to give it to you now.”

Pei An: “???” When did you sneakily hide something on the fighter jet without me knowing? But it seemed that Xie Yu didn’t want to reveal it prematurely, so Pei An had to follow him back to the runway.

When they arrived at the fighter jet, Xie Yu climbed into the pilot’s seat. He retrieved a box from underneath the pilot’s seat and jumped down, handing the box to Pei An. “Here, this is a gift for you.”

Pei An glanced at Xie Yu. The box was quite large, and he wondered what was inside.

“Well, I won’t stand on ceremony then?” Pei An took the box with both hands, expressing his gratitude to Xie Yu.

“Open it and take a look. You might like it,” Xie Yu said, looking forward to Pei An’s reaction upon receiving the gift.

Following Xie Yu’s suggestion, Pei An opened the box. Inside, there was a large, snow-white, somewhat translucent stone, about the size of a fist. It was crystal clear and beautiful.

However, this stone seemed somewhat familiar…?

Xie Yu said, “This stone is a type of gemstone that has gained popularity in recent years, called Starfire Stone. Many wealthy people like it, and it does look quite nice.”

Pei An’s emotions were now complicated.

He remembered this Starfire Stone because, due to its rare color and texture, he had instructed someone to sell it on the black market at a high price. It did indeed fetch a high price, but he never expected that he would one day receive this stone from someone he had come to know so well.

Xie Yu hadn’t noticed Pei An’s unusual expression yet and continued, “I thought this stone was large enough, so you can use it for anything you like. Rings, bracelets, or even a necklace. If you find wearing it on your hand inconvenient, it can also be made into a necklace.”

He emphasized the necklace.

Pei An’s emotions became even more complicated. Could it be that Xie Yu noticed the necklace around his neck and decided to give him this stone because of it?

Xie Yu was also busy. He held several meetings with Lika, Pang Li, and others, and eventually devised a plan to rectify discipline within the 258th Legion. The plan was implemented, with Xie Yu determined to remove anyone with questionable backgrounds or involved in interests conflicting with the upper echelons. Their future path must not tolerate any mistakes; they absolutely couldn’t leave any potential threats.

The military was dispatched to assist Pei An. They not only helped build the school but also maintained public infrastructure and conducted patrols. The patrolling, in particular, was executed professionally by Xie Yu’s personnel. In just a few days, they deterred many individuals who still harbored illusions of mischief. The living environment in DS009 immediately underwent a positive transformation. Omegas no longer feared going out alone at night. In case they encountered any ill-intentioned criminals, a simple call for help would bring professionally trained soldiers flying over.

Deterrent measures included but were not limited to a beating, releasing suppressive pheromones, and brandishing firearms.

Pei An expressed sincere gratitude to Xie Yu for bringing in people to help. He even personally funded the improvement of everyone’s diet. With no issues of food preservation on the ground, fresh ingredients were delivered to the dining hall of the three main ships daily.

Finding accommodation for over ten thousand people was challenging. Therefore, the military continued to stay on the three main ships. This arrangement also facilitated immediate combat readiness in case of emergencies.

There was one exception.

Xie Yu shamelessly lived in Pei An’s house.

Lika used to think that there were few alphas in the world who could be more disciplined and courteous in their command than them. Now, it seemed that Xie Yu’s discipline was only applicable to others.

“Commander, how can you, an alpha, live under the same roof as Mr. Pei all alone?” Lika accused Xie Yu of not adhering to Alpha etiquette.

Xie Yu calmly replied, “But Pei An didn’t ask me to leave.”

Lika retorted, “How could Mr. Pei be expected to ask you to leave voluntarily? That would be too impolite. Commander, as an alpha who upholds A-decency, shouldn’t you take the initiative to move out?”

As an alpha, even if one liked an omega very much, it was necessary to maintain a certain distance until the relationship was officially confirmed. Otherwise, in case of any accidents, it would be inappropriate.

Xie Yu’s smart assistant beeped; it was a message from Pei An: “Ah, Pei An says he wants to have hotpot tonight and asked me to go to the supermarket with him to buy ingredients. Goodbye.”

Brushing off nonexistent dust from his clothes, Xie Yu stood up and left.

Lika: “???”

Hello? Commander, do you have something urgent?

Shortly after, Lika also received a message from Pei An.

【Do you have time tonight? Come to my house for a simple dinner. I’ve also invited Pang Li and the others.】

“Hahaha!” Lika burst into laughter. Commander, you didn’t expect this, did you? Mr. Pei inviting you to the supermarket was just an excuse to invite us for dinner tonight.

Hehehehe!

Fortunately, Xie Yu took the initiative first, or else he would’ve gloated excessively, saying, “Have you ever thought about why Pei An invited me to the supermarket to buy groceries together while inviting you guys for a treat?” Thanks to Pei An’s delayed message, he didn’t give Xie Yu a chance to wag his tail.

Pei An was still in the administrative building, and Xie Yu drove a hovercar to the administrative building to pick him up.

The wealthy individuals from DS009 who came to seek justice for Pei An had not left yet. They were blocking the entrance to the administrative building, but no one paid any attention to them. As long as they didn’t try to enter, the guards with guns acted as if they couldn’t see their presence.

Xie Yu, feeling a bit mischievous, walked over with long strides. “Oh, are you all having a tea party at the entrance of the administrative building?”

“We’re here to demand justice from Pei An!”
“Yeah! Why did he send people to take away my family? Isn’t there any justice left?”
“If Pei An doesn’t give us justice today, we won’t leave!”

Xie Yu looked up at the sky, hoping for a thunderbolt to strike them down. These people posed no threat to Pei An; he just couldn’t be bothered with them. However, Xie Yu, in a good mood, couldn’t resist engaging with them.

“So, you’re here to seek justice from Pei An?” Xie Yu asked.

“Yes, what’s wrong with that?” Someone looked at Xie Yu, who wasn’t wearing his military uniform, wondering how he dared to speak so loudly to someone with a star on his shoulder.

Xie Yu found a clean spot, sat down cross-legged, and began his analysis. “This is certainly not right!”

“You see, where are you right now? The administrative building, right? Whose territory is the administrative building? It belongs to the Administrative Officer. If you want justice, you should go to the Administrative Building and find the Administrative Officer. Why are you looking for Pei An? He’s not an official of the Administrative Building. Do you understand?”

Xie Yu continued his explanation, and he actually managed to confuse these people. Accustomed to the routine dealings of officialdom, they couldn’t grasp Pei An’s true intentions.

“Do you know who the Administrative Officer of DS009 is?” Xie Yu asked.

With this question, their expressions changed abruptly. If the Administrative Building was occupied, how could the Administrative Officer still be alive?

Few people knew about the incident with Fan Wen and the others, and these privileged individuals had already forgotten about Fan Wen and the lack of any news in the past few days.

No news, and Fan Wen couldn’t possibly be alive after Pei An’s explosive actions. This meant that Fan Wen and the others were more likely to be dead.

Watching their varied expressions, Xie Yu continued to scare them, “I heard that the Administrative Officer, that person surnamed Fan, colluded with interstellar pirates and has already…”

He gestured around his neck.

After this demonstration, their faces turned pale.

After Xie Yu frightened them, they dared not ask Pei An for anything. Fan Wen and those in his hands couldn’t be dealt with by Pei An, and they were just individuals with some money. They realized that after a few hours of squatting here, and with Xie Yu scaring them away, they decided to leave one by one. It seemed like they were afraid that if they ran slower, Pei An would come out with a bomb to blow them up.

After successfully scaring these people, Xie Yu happily went in to pick up Pei An after work.

Xie Yu had been wandering around the administrative building these days. Pei An’s subordinates already knew Xie Yu, and when they saw him, they willingly let him in to see Pei An.

Humming a tune, Xie Yu arrived at Pei An’s office and knocked on the door.

“Pei An, are you off work?”

Pei An was organizing some documents. “I could hear you humming from a distance. What makes you so happy that you’re even humming a song?”

Xie Yu walked into the office, pulled a chair over, and sat down, elaborating on his achievements of the day. “I scared away those people squatting at the entrance of the administrative building. But after thinking about it, they’ll probably come back soon with a lot of money to beg you.”

Pei An: “Then I’ll wait for them to come and bring me money.”

In fact, the people they captured were not heinous criminals, not comparable to the likes of Wilson and others. However, keeping them around for a few more years was not acceptable. Pei An wanted fairness, and even those with more money should spend some time in prison. However, their families were willing to pay a high price for bail, and the sentences could be reduced. This was the perfect time, as the construction of the school required a considerable amount of funds, and these people had also earned money through the school. Using their money to fund the school was also a way of making them contribute.

Pei An neatly organized the documents and put them away. He picked up his coat, which was hanging on the back of the chair. “Let’s go.”

Xie Yu also stood up and walked out with Pei An.

“What song were you humming just now?” Pei An adjusted his coat. “It sounded quite nice.”

“That song is the military song of our Third Corps. Everyone in the Third Corps knows it. By the way, I’ve never heard you sing. Can you sing? Sing a song for me. Please?” Xie Yu pleaded.

Pei An smiled. “My appearance fee is quite high.”

“Then, Pei An, how much is your appearance fee?” Xie Yu boldly asked.

Pei An raised his index and middle fingers, keeping them apart. “For tonight’s hot pot, I want two types of broth.”

Xie Yu chuckled. “Is that considered a high appearance fee? How about adding dishwashing to it?”
