~7 min read 1,263 words

"Boss, next time when speaking with this group of vampires, please use Chinese or English." Su Yun said expressionlessly.

Zheng Ren glanced at Su Yun, then at Ke Li, forced a smile, "Ke Li, speaking in your hometown dialect is quite difficult for me."

Zheng Ren had already switched to London-accented English for that sentence.

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian shrugged; what language to speak in made no difference to him.

"After this matter is settled, let's go see Lord Luo as soon as possible." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded reluctantly.

Su Yun finally understood what those two were muttering about.

Old Luo Qie, that old geezer in a wheelchair actually came to the domestic country!

As expected, just as guessed, something big is happening!

Su Yun slipped into the crowd unnoticed, then went to the fire escape, preparing to pick up her phone and call Fan Tian Shui.

Although she knew the chances of something happening were low, Su Yun still felt a subtle dread toward the descendants of those ancient families.

Especially that old Luo Qie; Su Yun felt that without Fan Tian Shui by her side, it would always be improper.

Zheng Ren knew Su Yun had left and could guess what she intended to do. He looked at Su Yun, shook his head, indicating it was fine. Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren doubtfully; seeing him insist, she had no choice but to walk back.

After saying a couple more sentences, Ke Li made a gesture; in the distance, the president of Lanke Company tossed Vice President Yuan aside and came running over.

"Lord Ke Li."

"We need to step away for a moment." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said coldly.

"As you wish."

A few minutes later, Zheng Ren and Su Yun got into a vintage car, the same model as the one they had driven in the Alps.

Lin Yuan off to the side was already dumbfounded; she saw a slightly familiar face in the crowd. It was a big shot from Lanke Company, chatting and laughing with Hafer and her own teacher.

But outside the operating room, he hid among the crowd, like a drop of water in the ocean, as ordinary as a passerby.

Is Boss Zheng's status really that high? Lin Yuan felt a bit dazed. Even if he were a lifetime professor at Massachusetts General Hospital, he wouldn't deserve such treatment, would he?

Although Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian brought her almost endless fear, relying on her feminine intuition, Lin Yuan could sense his danger.

Forcibly suppressing her inner fear, Lin Yuan followed not far behind Boss Zheng.

At that moment she was like a tiny invisible person; no one noticed her presence. But Lin Yuan knew clearly that the person in black clothes had noticed her.

When Zheng Ren and Su Yun were about to get into the car, Lin Yuan summoned her courage and ran over.

She didn't know whether she was worried about Boss Zheng being in danger or something else; anyway, her mind went blank as she followed.

"It's not like we're performing surgery; why are you following?" Su Yun said, looking at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was very nervous; she once again felt the gaze of the shadow-shrouded face beside Boss Zheng upon her.

Like a knife, it would slice her into countless fragments in the next second.

"I..." Lin Yuan managed to utter a single word, then swallowed the rest.

"Go back." Su Yun snapped.

"..." Lin Yuan insisted on standing in front of Zheng Ren. She also didn't know why she was following; it was a subconscious action.

"Nothing will happen, just come along." Zheng Ren smiled and introduced to Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian: "She is a member of my medical team."

Ke Li merely shrugged, showing no stance.

Several people filed into the car; the interior was spacious. Lin Yuan sat in the corner, left hand pressing on her right, restraining the urge to lift her right hand to bite her nails.

The curtains on the car windows automatically drew shut, like a haunted house, making Lin Yuan jump. She saw Boss Zheng and the weird fellow wearing a black hood chatting and laughing happily, as if they were old friends.

Their communication was in English, which Lin Yuan could understand.

But she was too tense, catching only fragments.

Boss Zheng seemed to be chatting with that weird, mysterious fellow about some past events, like old friends.

Lin Yuan also noticed that the president of Lanke Company, like herself, had become a tiny invisible person, sitting in the car's corner, unnoticed.

Boss Zheng usually looks aloof, yet how does he have such wide connections? Lin Yuan felt puzzled; this was something she just couldn't figure out.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a hotel.

Upon reaching the top floor, Lin Yuan and the Lanke Company president were stopped, boredly standing in the hallway, watching Boss Zheng and Yun Ge'er's backs disappear.

What was the point of her coming along? Lin Yuan couldn't understand. But back then she really had worried about Boss Zheng being in danger; now that mindset seems somewhat laughable.

This is the domestic country; how could there be danger? Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed, but then she was happy to see the Lanke Company president also standing in the hallway just like her.

He didn't seem to think treating him this way was rude, and with a composed expression he started chatting.

Lin Yuan was a bit nervous at first, but later she got used to it.

Boss Zheng and Yun Ge'er weren't inside long; they came out in less than twenty minutes, followed by Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian dressed in black clothes and a black hood.

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian pushed a wheelchair with an elderly person near the end of life seated on it. His face was also covered, impossible to see; Lin Yuan deduced it from the faintly visible skin wrinkles on the outside.

"Mr. Luo Qie, please stay." Lin Yuan heard Boss Zheng say in fluent London-accented English.

"Zheng, I have no time demands, and I have shown sincerity. I hope that one day in the future, our family will become your most loyal ally." A gloomy voice came, and Lin Yuan shivered.

"It will take a long time; I estimate at least ten years." Lin Yuan heard Boss Zheng answer seriously.

"We have almost endless patience."

"Then I'll go first."

Zheng Ren left with a smile, turned and walked away with Su Yun from Old Luo Qie's side.

"Zheng!" Old Luo Qie shouted just as Zheng Ren reached the elevator entrance.

"Hmm?"

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian pushed the wheelchair to Zheng Ren's front.

A hand full of scars and wounds stretched out, trembling slightly; it seemed as if time incessantly inflicted harm on this old man.

If scars were a man's medals, then this old man would be like a veteran, his body covered in medals, displaying his courage in defying fate.

"Please!" Old Luo said earnestly.

"Please rest assured, I will study it well." Zheng Ren smiled, reached out his hand, and shook hands with Old Luo briefly.

Lin Yuan's eyelids twitched twice.

Two completely different hands clasped together; the visual impact was simply too great, causing Lin Yuan to feel an inexplicable illusion in his heart.

"Zheng, there's also a small gift for me to give you." Old Luo said earnestly, "This year's Nobel Prize will be quite fair."

"Thank you." Zheng Ren smiled.
