Star Programmer 20
After Bruno left for a while, Mai Wei returned to Tao Yuan's office.
Tao Yuan was holding the crystal card left by Bruno, looking at it and thinking seriously.
"What did he tell you?" Mai Wei asked after sitting down opposite Tao Yuan.
"Guess." Tao Yuan's eyes were still on the crystal card in his hand.
"I'll persuade you to return to Nandi Kingdom with them for your parents' sake, using both emotional and logical persuasion."
"Although he used the excuse of relaying my parents' message to speak to me alone, he didn't mention them at all. He only said a few words, confident that I would listen to him, and then left." Tao Yuan looked at Mai Wei and asked, "What do you think they were going to say?"
Mai Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, then immediately frowned. He didn't want it to be what he thought.
"He said that my ex-lover Jia Sining is not dead yet, and he is in their hands." Tao Yuan said very calmly.
"Do you believe what he said?" Mai Wei stared at Tao Yuan's face closely, not wanting to miss any expression on his face. He had guessed that Bruno must have mentioned the original owner's lover. Although he felt that Bruno was deliberately deceiving Tao Yuan, he was very worried that Tao Yuan would believe it.
"He's dead," Tao Yuan said with certainty. "No one in this world is more certain than I am that Jia Si Ning is indeed dead. Even his ashes have been blown away by the wind."
If Jia Si Ning was still alive, Tao Yuan couldn't have been unaware. No matter how powerful Bruno was, could he be more powerful than his system? Jia Si Ning had indeed died in the accident they'd caused, but his body had been shattered to pieces, completely oblivious. Bruno had deliberately lied to him because he knew the only person the original owner cared about was his beloved.
Mai Wei was relieved by Tao Yuan's calmness and confidence. He looked at Tao Yuan and asked, "What does he want you to do? Go back with them?"
"This." Tao Yuan held up the crystal card in his hand and showed it to him.
"What is this?" Mai Wei saw that he had been holding this crystal card since a while ago.
"Although I haven't seen it yet, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the plan they use to take me away, and they need me to cooperate with them to complete it." Tao Yuan said while thinking, "I'm thinking..."
"What are you thinking about?"
"Why not take this opportunity to set a trap for them and let them self-destruct to a certain extent?"
"You want to leave with them?" Mai Wei immediately said seriously, "I don't agree."
"You're overthinking it. How could I possibly leave with them?" Tao Yuan glanced at him and said, "Even if I don't leave with them, there are other ways I can use. Why would I resort to the most foolish method?"
"So what are you going to do?"
"I won't tell you now. I'll tell you after I'm done."
Mai Wei stood up and walked around the desk, pulled Tao Yuan up, put his arm around his waist and lifted him up to sit on the desk. Then he looked at him and said, "Don't take any risks, don't believe anything they say, and don't even think about going back with them."
Tao Yuan put his arm around Mai Wei's neck and said, "Do you think I'm that stupid? How could I possibly believe what they said, and how could I possibly fall for their trap? Don't worry, I'm much smarter than them, so they will definitely be the ones who fall into the trap, not me."
It’s not that Mai Wei doesn’t believe in Tao Yuan’s intelligence, he just can’t help but feel worried. This is an instinctive reaction to a loved one.
Mai Wei held Tao Yuan's lips and kissed him deeply, then pushed him down on the table and kissed him even harder.
Tao Yuan kissed him back, and when he took off his pants, she raised her waist to cooperate, then wrapped her legs around his waist.
……………………………………
Tao Yuan lay powerless on the desk, breathing hard with his mouth open. After Mai Wei helped him wipe clean and picked him up, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand.
Mai Wei helped him put on his pants, then let him sit on the sofa to rest. He took out a clean wet wipe and wiped the sweat off his face.
Because of the intense action just now, Tao Yuan's legs were still weak and he felt a little pain down there. He couldn't help but hold his stomach with his hands, thinking it was strange that he still hadn't gotten pregnant after all this time. He couldn't help but check his body with the system and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Mai Wei asked in confusion when he saw that his expression was a little strange.
"I..." Tao Yuan's hand was still on her stomach, not knowing whether she should tell him now.
"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?" Mai Wei pressed his hand and said, "Did I use too much force just now and hurt you?"
"It does hurt a little, but..." Tao Yuan was still a little hesitant.
Mai Wei stood up and said, "I'll go get some medicine from the medical bay. Would liquid medicine be better than ointment?"
"Wait a minute." Tao Yuan grabbed his hand and said, "I, I... I want to use the cream. The liquid can only be used when you lie down at night."
"Does it hurt a lot? Are you hurt?" Mai Wei immediately squatted down and nervously tried to take off Tao Yuan's pants. "Let me take a look first."
"You're not hurt. Go get the medicine first, and I'll show you." Tao Yuan stopped him from taking off his pants.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be back soon." Mai Wei bent down and kissed Tao Yuan on the corner of his mouth, then turned and walked out.
Only after seeing the automatic door close did Tao Yuan let out a long sigh. He had almost revealed his pregnancy. However, the war between the two countries wasn't over yet, and if he told her now, it would definitely affect Mai Wei's mood. Furthermore, if Mai Wei knew he was pregnant, she might insist on sending him away. Most importantly, if Mai Wei was worried about him, he would be worried about Mai Wei too.
Tao Yuan felt a little regretful because he had never taken any measures to prevent pregnancy, but he did not expect that he would get pregnant at the most inappropriate time.
Tao Yuan sighed, thinking, "I'm already pregnant, what else can I do?" He could only keep it a secret from Mai Wei and wait until the war was over before telling him. But there was one thing: when they were doing that, he had to find a way to stop Mai Wei from being so intense. It was because they were so intense just now that he had a stomachache.
Mai Wei took the medicine and came back soon. He not only brought the medicine, but also brought a portable examination instrument.
Tao Yuan took off his pants for him to check. After confirming that he was not injured, Mai Wei applied medicine to him.
"Promise me one thing." Tao Yuan leaned weakly on the sofa and said to Mai Wei.
"What's the matter?" Mai Wei asked as he wiped off the ointment with a wet wipe.
"It was really painful just now. From today on, don't be so intense. I almost thought I couldn't breathe." Tao Yuan complained to him half-seriously.
"Okay." Mai Wei picked up Tao Yuan and let him sit on his lap. After holding him in his arms, he kissed his forehead apologetically and said, "I will be gentler and more careful in the future."
Tao Yuan hugged his waist, leaned on his shoulder and said, "I need to recuperate these few days. I will just sleep at night and not do anything else."
"Okay." Mai Wei stroked Tao Yuan's back. Because of his inner self-blame, he now agreed to whatever Tao Yuan said.
Leaning on Mai Wei's broad and strong chest was the moment when Tao Yuan felt the safest. Because of the intense exercise just now, Tao Yuan was tired and he fell asleep unknowingly.
Mai Wei held Tao Yuan in his arms like this, feeling very satisfied.
………………………………
The next day, Tao Yuancai checked the contents of the chip, and then used the information inside to contact Bruno through a channel with a very weak signal.
Because the signal is so weak that it is almost non-existent, you can only make calls, not video or project.
"Is there anyone else with you?" Bruno asked.
"Do you think I would let other people be present when I contacted you for the first time and I haven't confirmed whether my lover is really in your hands? Am I such a stupid person?" Tao Yuan said coldly.
"Actually, I don't care whether there's anyone around or not. If you don't care about Jia Si Ning's life or death, I'll really let him die."
"You said Jia Si Ning is in your hands. Prove it to me. I'm only giving you this one chance. If you can't let me see Jia Si Ning with my own eyes, I will tell General Mai Wei everything immediately."
"I will certainly prove it. Just let you hear his voice."
"The voice can be faked, do you think I will believe it? I have to see him in person!"
"You should know what the situation is right now. If I use a channel that can be projected, I'll definitely be discovered. If you want to see him in person, I can give you the video recording next time we go to negotiate. However, I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"I want your latest upgrade program and the strongest energy card. Let's exchange them next time we meet."
"Didn't you tell me to listen to his voice? Let him talk to me. I have something to say to him."
Then Tao Yuan heard some rustling sounds coming from the other side, and also a sound similar to something falling.
After a while, Bruno said, "He refuses to speak to you. In fact, we wanted him to meet with you in person and persuade you to return to Nandi, but he refused. He said you would be better off staying in the Southern Alliance Empire. Since he refused, we have no choice but to use some means to make him behave. It's hard to say how long he can hold out. So, you'd better think carefully over the next two days. Whether he can survive or not is up to you."
Bruno cut off the communication after he finished speaking, while Tao Yuan had a blank expression on his face, without any of the urgency and nervousness he had just shown.
Bruno had absolutely no intention of letting Tao Yuan see Jia Si Ning in person. He didn't even bother to create a fake recording, because he was so certain Tao Yuan would panic because he cared about Jia Si Ning. Because concern leads to confusion, and the more panicked and emotionally unstable one becomes, the more likely one is to do things that would normally seem foolish.
So Bruno wanted to use psychological warfare to deal with Tao Yuan. He felt that it would be best if he could lure Tao Yuan into a trap, but if he couldn't successfully lure him into the trap, at least he could destroy the trust between Tao Yuan and the Southern Alliance Empire military, and get Tao Yuan's upgrade system and energy crystal card.
He thought he had a sure win, but he didn't know that Tao Yuan wasn't the original owner and wouldn't panic the moment he heard Jia Si Ning was still alive. Not only was he certain that Jia Si Ning was dead, he also knew Bruno's thoughts and plans perfectly.
So Bruno, who didn't know that the original owner's soul no longer existed, thought he had set a trap for Tao Yuan that he thought he could not escape, but he didn't know that he was walking into Tao Yuan's trap step by step.
