Chapter 994: Demon Kid?! Doorstep Service!?

…

Laboratory 45.

Liu Quan and Liao Fei sit on the floor leaning against the wall.

Their hair is disheveled, like mourners at a funeral.

"Demon has been gone for over an hour; why is there still no news?" Liu Quan said weakly.

"First you called people comrade, sir; now you call them kid?" Liao Fei glanced sideways, slightly contemptuous.

"Sigh, the world is just like that; I also learned from the past to kick people when they're down." Liu Quan said helplessly.

"I just asked my cousin in the Energy Department; he's familiar with the Supervisor, so news should come soon." Liao Fei's face showed difficulty.

Liu Quan glanced at him, puzzled: "Why that expression; did he demand your butt as payment?"

"Scram, brat!" Liao Fei pushed away his approaching head and explained: "My aunt and my mother don't get along well; if I ask him, the matter will quickly reach her old ears."

"What's the big deal, we're family; isn't it you help me, I help you?" Liu Quan looked completely puzzled.

Liao Fei sighed: "Not every family is harmonious; my clan is different, many contradictions accumulated by our parents when they were young have been passed down to us."

Liu Quan suddenly understood.

So that's it…

No wonder Liao Fei pursues progress so much.

He researches technology day and night, neglecting sleep and food, to the point his hair burned away.

All for the sake of saving face before others.

Thinking of this, Liu Quan understood why he cares so much about the Demon's safety.

He is the department's sole prodigy and its only achievement.

A desperate gamble, also hoping for a chance to win.

If successful, even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Failure would be irreversible for ten thousand eons.

So Liao Fei, risking his reputation, still has to ask for help.

"Sigh~" Liu Quan sighed.

"Hopefully we stay safe; I don't want to drift around like a rootless water lily anymore." Liao Fei said.

"Damn, I've worried myself sick over that mixed‑up kid; I'm not this concerned about my own son." Liu Quan complained.

As the words fell, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.

"Lao Liu, I've exhausted my mind for you, almost risking my life on the Machine."

"Now staging a 'person leaves, tea cools', that's not appropriate, right?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the two suddenly turned their heads.

Their expressions changed, from shock to daze, then to ecstatic joy.

Then they sprang up, eyes full of disbelief, exclaiming excitedly: "Demon… comrade, are you okay?"

"You hope I have something?" Su Yang said teasingly with a smile.

"Pfft, my stinky Mouth really can't speak." Liu Quan patted his Mouth, his face full of smiles.

Liao Fei examined him from head to toe, confirmed No Injury, then asked: "Supervisor… she didn't give you any trouble or say anything?"

He knows about the Crystal Core matter.

The Demon's temperament is Unruly and Untamed, and the Supervisor's eyes cannot tolerate sand.

The two meeting inevitably meant a clash of sharp points.

Hence he was very worried about the other's safety.

"My Three-inch Unbreakable Tongue worked successfully; not only am I fine, you also have a reward." Su Yang smiled slightly.

"What? Reward!?" Liu Quan momentarily thought he heard Illusion Hearing.

Seeing Su Yang not joking, he was even more incredulous: "You broke an expensive Machine and killed a deputy manager, yet the higher‑ups don't punish you, but instead give you a reward?"

Su Yang nodded, "Yes."

"This…"

Now Liu Quan is completely at a loss.

Where in the world does such logic exist?

It's inevitably absurd.

Yet the Demon truly has no injuries, and his condition is excellent.

At this moment, Liao Fei asked concernedly: "The reward belongs to us, what about you?"

Su Yang pursed his mouth and said: "I have my own matters to attend to; consider it a favor done in passing."

His tone was nonchalant.

But Liao Fei knew clearly in his heart.

The Demon must have paid a heavy price.

Otherwise the higher‑ups wouldn't have let it go so easily.

And they even gave a "candy" that's anti‑human?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling moved.

He suddenly gripped Su Yang's hands tightly, his Eye Socket moist, saying: "You sacrificed for us, Liao … I'm infinitely grateful!"

?

Su Yang looked at his tear‑streaked face, full of question marks.

But a moment later he realized, solemnly patting the back of his hand, he said, "It's okay, we're all family."

Liu Quan hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Yeah, yeah, we're a family of three!"

Su Yang, hearing that, was at a loss, "Who is dad, who is mom?"

Liu Quan patted his chest and said matter‑of‑factly, "The father role is, of course, me, the most manly!"

"Get out of the way!" Liao Fei laughed scoldingly.

Watching the three of them playfully bicker, Tiger's eyes couldn't help showing a hint of envy.

There was also a hint of confusion.

She thought—why can the Demon get along so well with two researchers.

It's as if… comrades who were born and died together.

Just a few short days, how did he manage that?

After teasing, Su Yang said, "Later the Supervisor should get in touch with you; then don't hold back your Stomach, just let the lion speak freely."

"No problem, I know the situation, you let your belly go," Liu Quan said.

"Alright, I'm going back to rest," Su Yang waved goodbye.

"Goodbye."

Su Yang and Tiger left together, leaving the two to continue their long‑missed comfort.

Liao Fei stared at Su Yang's silhouette, sighing, "Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand; it seems we're not utterly unlucky."

Liu Quan nodded, "The gloom will always pass; after walking through thorns, the future will be an endless smooth road."

Liao Fei recalled his nickname 'Kid', and, unable to help but laugh and cry, said, "You really judge people by the dish they get, doing research together with me truly humbled you."

Liu Quan hummed twice, "I only say that with my Mouth, but in my heart I have immense respect."

"What a disgusting Mouth face."

"Stop pretending, don't think I don't know, actually you are the same kind of person."

"Pah!"

After saying goodbye to Tiger, Su Yang took a car back to Tenglong Community.

Staring at the dimly lit building, Su Yang subconsciously glanced at his Hand Ring.

"It's 2 a. m...."

He rubbed the corners of his Brow, suddenly feeling exhausted.

Too many things happened today.

His body also suffered a huge injury.

He now intensely craves sleep.

So he sped home.

Su Yang just stepped into his home, his Nose involuntarily twitched.

He Scent Perception a scent that didn't belong to him.

Thinking of this, he changed into slippers and slowly walked to the living room.

In the dimly lit setting, a vague Silhouette could be seen near the sofa.

Bang!

Su Yang turned on the light, his eyes involuntarily squinting.

"If I recall correctly, it seems I never called any 'door‑to‑door service'."

"Miss, you appearing half‑dressed in a single man's home can easily cause misunderstandings."

Under the warm light, a mature woman in a half‑open nightgown lazily lay on the sofa.

She held a glass of red wine in her hand, gently swaying.

Her Brow and eyes were full of drowsiness.

"Hmm?"
