Chapter 362: Isn't the First Sentence Supposed to Be Congratulations?
"No... I'm not... this..." Professor Mo stammered, trying to explain. Then, changing his tone, he said angrily, "Even if the Shapeshifter belonged to Major Mei, you and I had an agreement. You can't just burn it without asking. You should at least ask me if I still need it. Now you say you've burned it. If you want me to believe you, you'll have to produce some evidence. Words are empty. How do I know if you really burned it or not?"
Mei Chuanqi sneered coldly. "I said I burned it, so I burned it. Believe it or not, I don't care. From now on, there's no more Shapeshifter's fluid for you."
Professor Mo was both anxious and angry. "Major Mei, are you trying to force me to reveal the matter of the Shapeshifter?"
"Say what you want. I really did burn the Shapeshifter anyway." Mei Chuanqi decisively ended the communication.
Hearing the busy signal from the communicator, Professor Mo put down the communicator fearfully. Looking at the man in the white lab coat across from him, he said in a trembling voice, "Prof... Professor Feng, you heard him too. He said he already burned the Shapeshifter."
Feng Run said indifferently to the soldier beside him, "Take him away first."
Professor Mo said anxiously, "Professor Feng, didn't you say that as long as I made that call to Major Mei, you would release my family?"
Feng Run sneered, "But I've changed my mind now."
Professor Mo's eyes reddened with rage. "You..."
Feng Run barked, "Why haven't you taken him away yet?"
"Yes, sir." Two soldiers escorted Professor Mo out of the room.
Feng Run quickly picked up the communicator and made a call. As soon as it connected, his cold expression turned extremely fawning. "Grand General, I've just finished interrogating the researcher from the Beast Arena. The invisible fluid really wasn't something they developed. It was a fluid secreted by an alien beast called the Shapeshifter. This Shapeshifter was bought by Mei Chuanqi at the Beast Arena by chance. But now, Mei Chuanqi has burned it. What should we do next?"
"The invisible fluid belongs to Mei Chuanqi?" A cold voice came from the other end of the communicator.
Feng Run wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Y... yes, Grand General. You can find an opportunity to ask Mei Chuanqi clearly about this."
"I don't need you to tell me how to do that." The communication was immediately hung up by the other party.
Feng Run let out a breath and turned to shout at the soldiers beside him, "You must keep a close watch on those two researchers and their families!"
"Yes, sir."
On the other side, after being escorted back to the room, Professor Mo said regretfully to Professor Li, "If I had known earlier, we would never have sold the invisible fluid. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation now."
Back then, they only thought of selling the invisible fluid because they had no funds left for research. But just that one time planted such a huge seed of disaster.
Professor Li sighed. "What about the Shapeshifter now? Did you find out anything?"
"Major Mei said the Shapeshifter has already been burned by him."
Professor Li's expression changed. "Major Mei probably guessed this day would come, which is why he burned the Shapeshifter."
Professor Mo held his head in his hands, saying painfully, "We're definitely doomed this time."
Professor Li, his face pale, was silent for a long time.

After ending the communication, Mei Chuanqi said to Feng Jingteng, "Professor Mo was asking about the invisible fluid. When he heard that I had burned the Shapeshifter to death, he didn't believe me and wanted me to provide evidence of burning it. Otherwise, he said he would reveal that I had the invisible fluid. So, I guess he's either been captured or is being threatened."
"It's very likely he's been captured. However, if the person who caught him really wants the invisible fluid, they absolutely won't reveal this matter, giving others a chance to compete for it." Feng Jingteng raised an eyebrow at him. "Speaking of which, did you really burn the Shapeshifter?"
"Of course. I was afraid the Shapeshifter would bring disaster, so half a month ago, I had Brother Xian burn it to death." Mei Chuanqi thought of something and pinched Feng Jingteng's chin. "Confess honestly. Why do you have invisible fluid? Don't tell me you also have a Shapeshifter?"
Feng Jingteng stopped his hand and shook his head. "When I went on a mission to a certain planet, I accidentally discovered a type of ore that could turn invisible. Then, I brought it back and researched it myself. I found that if you refine this ore together with a certain material, the resulting product would have an invisibility function. So, I refined it for my mech. Then, I used the leftover ore to build the invisible hovercar to earn some credits."
"Do you still have any of this ore now?"
"No. The last piece of ore was used for your current hovercar."
Mei Chuanqi asked curiously, "Have you ever thought about going back to get some more ore?"
Feng Jingteng sighed helplessly. "I feel the same way as you. Although the function of this thing is excellent, it can also easily cause trouble. It's better to just leave it where it belongs."
"What if you leave it where it was, and someone else discovers the invisible ore?"
Feng Jingteng rubbed his head amusedly. "Why worry so much? Even if there's no ore now, someone might invent invisible fluid in the future."
Mei Chuanqi thought that made sense and changed the subject. "You said Professor Li and Professor Mo have been caught. Should we go rescue them? After all, they were caught because of the Shapeshifter incident."
Feng Jingteng disagreed. "The more you try to send people to rescue them, the more you give those who caught them an opportunity to threaten you. So, if we do nothing, maybe those people will even let them go. Besides, instead of worrying about others' business, you should care more about how to give Weiwei a little brother."
Mei Chuanqi gave him a disdainful look.
"I'm serious. After returning to the unit this time, you're not allowed to take on any more missions." Feng Jingteng touched his stomach. "Maybe there's already my child in here."
Mei Chuanqi unconsciously touched his own stomach. "Is it that easy to get pregnant?"
"Didn't Jian Yi say your body is extremely prone to pregnancy? After we get back to the unit, I'll take you to the medical room for a check-up. Maybe you really are pregnant."
The more Feng Jingteng talked, the more excited he became, as if Mei Chuanqi was already pregnant.
This time, he was going to watch his child being born properly and couldn't miss any part of the process.
Mei Chuanqi remembered the experience of getting pregnant with Weiwei after only sleeping with Feng Jingteng once, so he went along with Feng Jingteng's arrangement. He didn’t want a repeat of what happened when he was pregnant with Weiwei—when he didn’t even find out until he was already three months along.
Early the next morning, the two drove away from the Mei family residence and didn't return to the unit until noon the following day. As soon as Feng Jingteng got out of the car, he directly took Mei Chuanqi to the medical room. "Captain Sun, do a check-up on my partner."
Captain Sun looked at Mei Chuanqi's healthy, rosy complexion. "Feeling unwell?"
"No, I just want to check if he's pregnant."
Mei Chuanqi glared at him. "Can't you be a little more tactful?"
Feng Jingteng gave him an indulgent smile in return.
Captain Sun asked Mei Chuanqi to follow him to the examination room for a full-body check-up. The check-up was very simple; just lying in the medical pod for a scan could quickly detect any problems in any part of the body.
Mei Chuanqi lay in the medical pod for half a minute before being rolled out.
He asked nervously, "Am I pregnant?"
Captain Sun said calmly, "Let's talk outside."
Feng Jingteng, who was waiting outside, immediately asked as soon as he saw them come out, "How is it?"
Captain Sun sighed. "I'm very sorry..."
Although Mei Chuanqi and Feng Jingteng hadn't held out much hope, they still couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.
Feng Jingteng put his arm around his partner's shoulder. "It's okay, we can keep trying."
Mei Chuanqi: "..."
Captain Sun beside them continued, "Major Mei, is pregnant."
Feng Jingteng and Mei Chuanqi paused, turning their heads in disbelief. "What did you just say?"
Captain Sun repeated it once more. "I said, I'm very sorry, Major Mei, is pregnant."
Feng Jingteng suddenly grabbed Captain Sun by the collar and said through gritted teeth, "Captain Sun, when you find out someone is pregnant, isn't the first sentence supposed to be congratulations?"
He was so disappointed just now because of him, this damned quack!
But Captain Sun said calmly, "Isn't Major Mei going on a mission? But now that he's pregnant, he can't go on missions anymore. So, of course, I have to say sorry."
Feng Jingteng was so angry he wanted to punch him in the face. "Who told you he was going on a mission?"
Captain Sun said very innocently, "Didn't you come for a check-up to see if he was fit for a mission?"
This time, Feng Jingteng truly did not hold back and punched Captain Sun right in the eye.
Captain Sun screamed.
Feng Jingteng turned around, excitedly hugged Mei Chuanqi, who was already stunned, so happy he didn't know how to describe it. "Honey, did you hear that? You're pregnant! You're really having my child!"
He quickly lowered his head and kissed his partner firmly on the mouth, saying excitedly, "Let's go tell Father and the others about this right now."
