In the largest office in "Kyoto," Jia Guwen was looking at urgent documents on the table. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was unpredictable... "Change, mutated beasts can now come and go during the day... and in Shenzhen no less..."
Report!
"Come in!" Jia Guwen was clearly still in shock.
Xiao Zhang noticed that the boss's expression was strange today... so he quickly reported, "Director Gao said he has something urgent to discuss with you and is currently in the meeting room!"
"Okay, go tell him I'll be there in a bit..."
Jia Guwen rubbed his temples. There had been so many things going on lately that even with the support of the crystal core, he often felt exhausted!
I wonder how Ah Yi is doing in Shenzhen...
That was his only son. He carefully read the document again before getting up and leaving.
Gao Sheng was extremely anxious. He heard from his confidant that his daughter had been kidnapped and that his daughter had even tried to harm the kidnapper's child first... My goodness! She's the only daughter I've ever had... Sigh!
As soon as Jia Guwen opened the door, he heard this sigh. "Old Gao, what's wrong?" He thought to himself: What could be so urgent? The document just arrived; he shouldn't know about it...
Seeing who it was, Gao Sheng finally found an outlet for his frustration; he hadn't slept a wink all night! "Old Jia, Old Jia! Our children have been kidnapped..."
Jia Guwen was taken aback, but quickly recovered, "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened...?"
Gao Sheng explained the whole story to Jia Guwen in detail, but she didn't mention that her daughter had hurt someone—and that the person she hurt was a toddler!
Jia Guwen felt his heart race instantly and quickly swallowed a healing crystal core. "Oh no! This is truly a double whammy!"
"Old Jia, what do you suggest we do? This guy is said to have the ability to control beasts..."
Gao Sheng looked at Jia Guwen and thought to himself, "Things change so much these days. Back then, I didn't have to point a finger at the sky; I was already in a position of great power. When did I ever have to listen to anyone else's whims? I never imagined that even a professor could..."
"Old Gao..."
Seeing Gao Sheng deep in thought, Jia Guwen said seriously, "One of us has to go to Shenzhen to find out what's going on. After all, they haven't said what they specifically want. I'll report back truthfully. If all else fails, we'll have to ask headquarters for help, since things have gotten out of control there..."
Gao Sheng didn't want his daughter to be in any danger. "Old Jia, although they didn't say exactly what they wanted, they did mention 'energy stones' and 'crystal cores'! I'm afraid..."
Jia Guwen knew perfectly well that he was just trying to buy some time, hoping there might be room for negotiation!
Then there's the "energy stone"—not potatoes or cabbage, but a rare "elixir of immortality"... Others may not know, but he knows best that it's definitely a good thing for extending lifespan!
There are less than fifty pieces nationwide. It seems like a lot, but there are even more people coveting it. Countless big shots are eyeing this piece of the pie, trying to find even greater value. That's how I and my son got our chance to rise to prominence. Sigh! I just hope headquarters can protect A-Yi..."
"Take some crystal cores! The warehouse can only spare ten thousand. Forget about energy stones, the higher-ups won't agree..."
Gao Sheng knew in her heart that this was already the maximum she could go. "Alright then, I'll leave tomorrow..."
"Don't tell the women. They can't help, and if they make things worse, it'll be troublesome. I'll have Xiao Zhang take a squad of guards with you," Jia Guwen quickly added.
Then they each went about their own business...
Since returning, Jia Renyi has been absent-minded, constantly thinking to himself, "What do they take me for... an apology and that's it, no sincerity at all..."
But the ever-upturned corners of his mouth had already betrayed him. A rumbling sound of hunger came from his stomach, and he realized that he hadn't eaten breakfast. He looked at the clock and saw that it was exactly noon. He got up and walked towards the kitchen. When he got to Gao Yuanyuan's door, he deliberately glanced at her, afraid that she would suddenly pop out and scare him!
When he entered the kitchen, he saw this scene: the woman's hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands falling across her fair, jade-like face. Even without makeup, she was still beautiful, her pink lips luscious and inviting...
"Have you seen enough?" Leng Fengmei had already heard his footsteps approaching, but she didn't pay much attention. After all, it was lunchtime, and she had kindly cooked a few more dishes. After all, she had been too reckless in what happened this morning!
But seeing him staring straight at her made her really uncomfortable; she'd never liked being stared at!
Just like Lao Song, although he is honest and dull, she can guarantee that he is not lecherous and is the kind of person who can remain unmoved even with a woman in his arms!
I just never expected to be proven wrong so quickly, but that's another story.
When Jia Renyi saw the sharp gaze and cold words from the other side, his body involuntarily shuddered—"I didn't see... Ah, no! I've seen enough!"
"Ugh! I really want to slap myself. This mouth of mine is completely useless. Seeing that the woman continues to cook and doesn't make things difficult for me, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it's so embarrassing for a grown man to be hit by a woman!"
Besides, it's because of myself... Ugh! When did I become a pervert?!
Not knowing whether to leave or stay, she looked at the busy figure, pursed her lips, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Okay, could you go and call the kids? Let's all eat here today!"
