Chapter 255

The situation at the airport had been too tense, and she had forgotten to ask Jiang Hao and the others their names.

"She is Ada Wang; you can call her Ada."

"As for me, you may call me Mr. Jiang," Jiang Hao said.

"Mr. Jiang, Young Lady Ada, thank you both so much for your help this time," Claire sincerely thanked them after learning how to address them.

"Mr. Jiang, are you leaving next?" Claire immediately asked again after thanking them.

"What, do you have something else?" Jiang Hao immediately sensed there was more to her words.

"This… well, actually, I was wondering—if it's not too much to ask—I'd like to invite you to dinner, to thank you for saving us."

Claire truly only wanted to invite Jiang Hao and the others to dinner out of gratitude for saving her.

Claire worked for the United Nations, and she had a colleague from Daxia who had told her about some Daxian ways of interacting.

For example, if you help someone, that person will usually invite you to dinner to express their thanks.

She hadn't been able to determine Jiang Hao's nationality earlier.

But after Jiang Hao told her she could call him Mr. Jiang, she was certain now: Jiang Hao and the others were Daxians.

That was why she had made this invitation.

"Sure," Jiang Hao nodded, not refusing.

Afterwards, Claire found Frannie, Laoni's aunt, among the crowd outside.

Claire was relieved she was unharmed.

Otherwise, the little girl would have lost her only remaining relative.

Frannie was also relieved that Claire and Laoni were safe.

After the chaos at the airport.

She had considered going to look for Claire.

But there were too many infected.

Being timid, she had fled at once.

She thought Claire would likely have been able to get Laoni out.

Perhaps because she felt guilty toward Claire.

Even though Claire hadn't blamed her.

But after apologizing, Frannie had taken Laoni and left.

Because she felt she had no face to remain before Claire.

Claire felt somewhat helpless.

She could only let Frannie leave first.

She would look for her again later, when the chance arose.

Then, Jiang Hao and the others left the airport and headed into the city.

They were not government personnel; the airport authorities naturally didn't need them to worry about it.

They found a fairly decent restaurant, ordered some dishes, and sat down.

Ada Wang barely spoke at all.

Before meeting Jiang Hao, Ada Wang had never been a talkative person.

Because of her childhood experiences, she was actually someone who disliked human contact—and thus naturally disliked speaking to strangers.

In front of outsiders, she always appeared cold and aloof.

Only in front of Jiang Hao or close family members of her sister did Ada Wang ever smile.

A genuine, heartfelt smile.

Most of the time, her smiles were merely put on for those sycophants.

"Mr. Jiang, may I boldly ask what you do? Of course, if you can't say, it's fine—I'm just curious." After the food arrived, Claire spoke up.

Eating in complete silence would feel awkward.

And Claire was genuinely curious about Jiang Hao and the others' identities.

"Ada was previously a bounty hunter; as for me, I have no specific job—I do whatever interests me, occasionally researching viruses."

Claire was surprised.

No wonder Ada Wang had such excellent combat skills—she was a bounty hunter.

Ordinary people wouldn't know what a bounty hunter was.

But her brother was Chris.

She had encountered such matters before.

These days, only someone with real ability could become a bounty hunter.

And Jiang Hao saying he researched viruses also surprised Claire.

Honestly, Jiang Hao's demeanor looked more like that of a wealthy family heir or noble young master.

The calmness of someone unmoved even as a mountain collapses above him—that's not something an ordinary person possesses.

He didn't look at all like a researcher.

If Jiang Hao hadn't said it, she would never have thought of it.

"Mr. Jiang, do you run a pharmaceutical company?"

Jiang Hao shook his head: "I research viruses purely as a hobby."

"After all, biochemical terrorist attacks are too common worldwide."

"Only by understanding viruses can you avoid being harmed by them," Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Jiang Hao had an innate fondness for Claire, so he naturally didn't keep a cold expression.

Besides, the Claire people don't look bad either.

For Jiang Hao, beauties do receive a slight, tiny bit of special treatment.

Hearing this, Claire nodded in deep agreement.

"Indeed so."

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, you said you and my brother are friends; how long have you known each other?"

"Just over two months. Two months ago, someone released a virus in New York; that's when I met your brother."

"The New York virus terror attack from two months ago?" Claire was somewhat surprised.

She had heard about the incident from two months ago from her brother.

After all, since it happened in New York, such a huge event meant she received the news immediately while she was in Europe.

She even specifically called Chris.

She learned some things from Chris's mouth.

Chris had also mentioned Jiang Hao and Ada Wong.

Moreover, he complained to her that he had actually forgotten to ask for contact information at that time.

Who would have thought it was so coincidental that she would run into Jiang Hao and Ada Wong here today.

In fact, Chris is also looking for Jiang Hao and Ada Wong right now.

However, he is looking for them on Rebecca's behalf.

Two days after the New York bio-terror virus attack occurred,

Rebecca discovered changes in her own body.

This made her realize that the vaccine serum Jiang Hao had injected into her earlier was not simple.

She drew a tube of her own blood for research.

She found her blood cell activity extremely high, and ordinary viruses were completely no match for her cells.

This further convinced her that the vaccine serum Jiang Hao had injected into her earlier was not simple.

So she wanted to find Jiang Hao to see if she could learn some information about that vaccine serum from his mouth, thereby developing a more effective virus serum.
