Chapter 518 Contract

"Woof woof! Woof woof—"

As it barked, Guai Guai rushed into He Tao's open arms, wagging its tail to express its joy and longing for its owner.

He Tao was touched by Guai Guai's enthusiasm and her eyes welled up with tears.

She gently stroked the baby's back, feeling its warmth and dependence.

"Alright, alright, don't get excited yet. You'll have plenty of time to get excited later."

Lingjiu smiled and said, watching the intimate scene between the man and the dog, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He Tao only came to her senses after hearing Ling Jiu's words.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then held Guai Guai and looked intently at Ling Jiu, waiting for him to say what he was about to say.

"Okay, remember what I'm about to say."

Lingjiu looked at He Tao, who was intently preparing to listen to what she was about to say, but Lingjiu still couldn't help but remind her.

"Okay, I'll listen carefully."

He Tao nodded in agreement upon hearing Ling Jiu's words.

As she spoke, she quickly turned on the recording function on the terminal, preparing to record everything Lingjiu was about to say.

"For the next month, you will need to stay at the psionic center with this dog for observation and will need to undergo multiple tests."

Seeing this, Lingjiu nodded in satisfaction and then continued.

"Ok, I see."

He Tao was somewhat surprised, but she agreed without hesitation.

"After this, your dog can eat, but for its safety, it will still need to be fed souls regularly. However, these souls will be provided by us, and you must not feed it on your own. If you violate the rules, we will take everything back."

Seeing He Tao's cooperation, Lingjiu continued.

"I understand, this is to prevent any unexpected situations, and I will definitely cooperate."

He Tao nodded quickly to show her understanding.

Her attitude was very sincere, and it was clear that she had always been a well-behaved and obedient child.

"Hmm, very good. Just one last bit."

Lingjiu smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

He thought to himself, "It's really rare to find someone who cooperates with me like this!"

After all, the majority of people in this world are still fools.

"We've already told you about the costs before, but there's one more thing we didn't mention then, so I'm going to tell you now. Once you understand this, you can choose to refuse."

Lingjiu paused briefly before continuing.

"That's right. During our observation of you over this period of time, we discovered that due to the reconstruction of your body, you have already acquired the talent to use psionic energy."

This is a very rare and valuable ability, but it also brings some potential risks.

To ensure your abilities are effectively controlled and guided, we believe it is necessary for you to join us.

He took a deep breath and then slowly uttered his last words.

After saying that, Lingjiu quietly looked at He Tao, waiting for her decision.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and a tense atmosphere filled the entire room.

"Um, if, I mean if, I refuse, what will happen?"

Finally, He Tao broke the silence, her voice somewhat weak.

Her gaze was fixed on Lingjiu, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and unease.

"Huh? You actually want to refuse? There will be serious consequences~"

Upon hearing He Tao's words, Ling Yan's face instantly darkened. He slowly leaned closer to He Tao and whispered in her ear.

"Huh?! No, this... will I die? QAQ"

He Tao was clearly frightened by Ling Yan's actions; her body trembled slightly, and her voice also trembled a little.

Just then, a loud "thud" was heard. After Ling Yan finished speaking, Lin Xiyue swung her fist without hesitation and slammed it hard on Ling Yan's head.

"Ouch! That hurts—"

Lingyan let out a miserable scream, and his originally gloomy and dangerous expression vanished instantly, replaced by a silly look.

His eyes were brimming with tears, and he covered his head tightly with his hands, crouching down like a wounded little animal.

Looking at Ling Yan's pitiful appearance, Lin Xiyue felt even more helpless.

"Don't scare people in a place like this, hey! What are you thinking about all day long?"

She rubbed her fists and said irritably.

"Ah, hehehe, because it's so much fun."

However, when faced with Lin Xiyue's questioning, Lingyan just smiled foolishly and replied.

"Yes, that's why he's usually not scheduled to do the explanations."

Lingjiu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, glanced at Lingyan with a half-smile, then sighed helplessly, shook her head and said.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly took out two completely different contracts from his bag, placed them on the table, and gently pushed them in front of He Tao.

"Of course you can refuse. If you refuse, you won't be able to leave the city afterwards, and you'll be under constant surveillance."

Lingjiu's voice was calm and gentle, as if it were just an ordinary matter, but his words revealed an irresistible power.

"But don't worry, we won't monitor your privacy."

Lingjiu quickly added, seemingly to reassure He Tao a little.

"Then, you'll need to bring our special tools so we can monitor your location at any time. Other more specific details are all in this contract."

He continued to explain, his tone still relaxed and natural.

"Apart from that, you are completely free to live your life. We will not interfere with you too much."

Lingjiu smiled as she looked at He Tao, a sly glint in her eyes.

"These are two contracts, one confidential and one for employment. You can choose whichever you prefer."

As Lingjiu spoke, she forcefully pushed away Lingyan, who was still pretending to be serious, and then focused all her attention on He Tao.

He Tao hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head, her gaze falling on the two contracts that had been pushed in front of her.

Just as Lingjiu said, there were two contracts in front of her: one was an employment contract, and the other was a confidentiality agreement.

He Tao picked up the two contracts one after the other and glanced through them briefly.

The employment contract detailed her job responsibilities, salary, working hours, and other information, while the confidentiality agreement emphasized the confidentiality clauses she was required to maintain during her employment.
