Buzzing...
Qin Huai had just lay down on the bed when his phone vibrated.
Looking at the unknown number on the caller ID, Qin Huai pressed the answer button.
"The test results are in," a cold female voice announced.
The voice was so cold, like ice that had been frozen for millennia, that it sent chills down one's spine.
Her codename was Crimson. She was Qin Huai's superior, with whom he had only one-way contact. She was the one who initiated contact with Qin Huai; he could not reach her.
Over the years, I've only seen him once, when Qin Huai was eighteen and had just joined the organization.
He's not very old, but he has a face that exudes a sense of asceticism.
In short, he is "a man of few words, with a stoic expression and a sharp, piercing gaze."
Qin Huai did not respond, waiting for the next part to follow.
"The blood contains a neurotoxin that is basically consistent with the 'heart-breaking' toxin found in overseas illegal dealers."
Qin Huai frowned.
He discovered this novel neurotoxin, known as "Heartbreaker," while on a mission abroad, and subsequently obtained samples and reported it.
This toxin is extremely difficult to detect and is generally harmless to the human body.
If a poisoned person becomes overly agitated, it could lead to neurological disorders, cardiac arrest, and death.
It looked like he died of heart palpitations, and even the most professional forensic doctors couldn't tell the cause.
How could Lu Qingxue have been poisoned by the Heart-Rending Poison?
Getting involved with illegal gambling operations abroad is no small matter.
Crimson continued, "Residual components of the 'Fierce Woman' were also found."
"I know that."
Qin Huai touched his nose.
It's not just knowing, it's experiencing it firsthand!
"Any further questions?"
"have!"
Qin Huai asked, "Suppose the person who was poisoned is about to become pregnant, is it possible that it will have adverse effects on the fetus?"
Crimson was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "If you get pregnant before the toxins are cleared, the fetus will be born with a neurological disorder."
"Understood. There's still one more question: when will the antidote for [Heartbreak] be developed?"
"The R&D team has made progress, but we cannot disclose the specifics at this time."
Qin Huai feigned a pitiful state and said, "Big sister, please give me an approximate time, please."
Crimson was silent for a while, then said, "At the latest, six months."
"Half a year..."
Qin Huai thought to himself that he needed to stabilize Lu Qingxue's emotions as much as possible within the next six months, otherwise she might die at any time.
Although you can eat it while it's hot... cough cough.
But Qin Huai can tell the difference between a full meal and a full stomach.
"One last thing."
Qin Huai's expression turned serious: "After I finish what I'm doing, I want to take a break."
Crimson asked crisply, "How long?"
"Three years."
Crimson was even more direct this time: "Prepare your will."
"Boss, calm down! I've served the organization and made contributions. Let's talk this over!"
"One year, and there's a mission coming up in the southwest region that you'll be responsible for resolving."
"make a deal!"
Qin Huai readily agreed and hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Hong's reaction.
He closed his eyes contentedly: "I'll have a year-long vacation soon, Chen Huaidong, you better show up soon, I can't wait to go on vacation!"
...
Lu Qingxue walked through her family's vast estate, her steps still a little awkward.
Her expression was extremely complicated.
Qin Huai's figure and words flashed through my mind.
They were genuinely afraid that Qin Huai would come knocking on their door.
That would mean announcing to the world that she, Lu Qingxue, had slept with a bartender in a bar without any prior knowledge.
And it was she who took the initiative!
Subconsciously scrolling through her phone's contacts, Lu Qingxue saw the most recently saved contact, Qin Huai. She considered deleting it, but then decided against it.
Standing at the villa entrance, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and then stepped inside with a smile: "Dad, I'm home!"
In the luxuriously decorated living room, Lu Zenian, the head of the Lu Group, sat on the sofa, wearing pajamas and with his hair slightly disheveled.
The air was filled with the smell of tobacco.
"Dad, why are you suddenly smoking? Is it because you're worried about me? I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I promise I won't sneak out at night again."
Lu Qingxue changed her shoes, sat down next to Lu Zenian, and began to apologize in a coquettish manner.
When Lu Zenian looked up at Lu Qingxue, Lu Qingxue was taken aback.
The father's eyes were red, and his face looked haggard and exhausted.
I haven't seen it like this for many years.
"dad……"
“Daughter, listen to what your father has to say.”
Lu Zenian took a deep breath and said, "Our family is going bankrupt."
"What?"
Lu Qingxue was shocked.
The Lu Group, led by Lu Zenian, is no exaggeration to call it an aircraft carrier in the business world of Chongqing. How could it sink so easily?
"Blame me."
Lu Zenian chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "That Chen Huaidong from the Chen family is quite something."
"Chen Huaidong... who recently returned to China, is known as a business prodigy and boasts that he will integrate the business community in Southwest China and establish a business alliance?"
"It's him."
Lu Zenian nodded heavily, his gaze toward Lu Qingxue was particularly complicated: "Chen Huaidong used a little trick and I was completely defeated. Calling him a business prodigy is an underestimation of him."
"But why did he..."
"Because of you."
"Me?" Lu Qingxue couldn't believe it.
Lu Zenian sighed, "Chen Huaidong said, if you marry him, the Lu Group will live; if you don't, the Lu Group will die."
Lu Qingxue's eyes became vacant.
I never imagined that one day, a choice I made would determine the life or death of my family.
