anger
"Sir, you have an urgent communication request."
"Now?" York pressed his temples tiredly, his eyes finally moving away from the surveillance video. "Connect it."
"Mr.Stanson, Guten en! Es ist mir eine ehre, euch kennen zu lernen!"
York took a moment to realize who was in front of him.
"Dr. Guan? To what do I owe the pleasure?"
The question was asked politely but awkwardly, which in turn made Vasile Guan confused.
"From your looks, could it be that Dustin and Yan haven't returned yet?"
"What did you say?!"
…
Half a month ago, a fully loaded cargo ship inexplicably crashed into New York Harbor, forcibly occupied a berth, and the entire dock was in chaos.
This kind of accident would not happen for no reason, so York immediately took people to the scene.
According to the captain, the ship's automatic driving system suddenly malfunctioned during navigation, and even manual operation was useless. All communication channels were full of noise, and the ship was sent here after wandering around on the sea for several hours.
The Infinity technical team quickly obtained permission to inspect the entire ship, and indeed found signs that the cloud server had been remotely hacked. They even discovered several private ships from other countries that were secretly tracking the ship on the driving recorders.
It took them five days to search through the residual signal to reach Point Nemo in the Pacific Ocean, and finally found an abandoned small yacht 60 nautical miles away.
Through on-site analysis and various biometric feature extractions, it is 100% certain that Dustin and Yan had stayed here.
——But where were they taken?
York immediately sent people to search the experimental base at Point Nemo.
Due to the demand for ocean exploration in recent years, countries have cooperated to reclaim land here and have continuously sent scientists to conduct field surveys. A large experimental station has been built.
There is a high possibility that Dustin and the others are on the island.
However, Country M is not among the applicants for this experimental cycle. If the people of Infinity force their way onto the island, it will be more than just a diplomatic issue.
After all, it takes time to go through layers of approval. In this emergency, Yan's robot butler single-handedly broke through numerous obstacles and searched the entire experimental base.
But unfortunately, there are still no clues.
York was comforted by the fact that the two were safe, and judging from the scrapped submarine and a group of seriously injured men in black found in the deep Pacific Ocean shortly afterwards, they should have found a way to escape.
The freighter was probably a bait to divert attention and avoid pursuit, while the small yacht was the real tool for the two to escape.
But if that’s the case, it’s been so many days, why don’t they come back?
With their abilities, they can easily send a distress signal to York. There are Infinity branches all over the world.
It’s not like now, York stays in the laboratory at the headquarters day and night, for fear of missing any information.
——Why do these two people always act alone without saying a word!
Now, someone who has nothing to do with me is asking for advice...
York looked at the famous doctor in a white coat with handsome features on the screen and was a little unsure of his intentions.
According to him, he went to Point Nemo because he received an order to treat an old professor, but he received Yan's call for help there. After being asked to do so, he asked the two of them to follow him to the island as medical assistants and go to his temporary station to recuperate.
"Rest?"
"Oh, Yan and Dustin are in good health, please don't worry."
The good doctor added,
"I was on a surgical mission at the time and couldn't monitor them constantly. I don't even know when they left. However, they left the day before your team found Point Nemo."
York listened and shook his head in annoyance.
——It is obvious that the two parties missed each other by coincidence.
"I've been in closed meetings these past few days and didn't know what was going on outside. I thought Yan and the others should have returned safely..."
Vasile Guan's words were sincere, but York was upset and couldn't be sure of the truthfulness of his words.
So after politely thanking him, he immediately asked Sharon to investigate all of Vasile Guan's recent movements, no matter how big or small.
And before that—
"Sir, Miss Shen Chuxuan, Vice President of Shen Group, is waiting for you in the conference room."
…
From the outside world's perspective, Infinity has detained Kinsley for a long time and has no intention of reconciling with BI. Miss Shen must have come to negotiate for the release of the person.
As for York...
He was now exhausted and irritable, his brain was about to shut down, and he was in no mood to consider Shen Chuxuan's intentions.
"...Ms. Chu...Ms. Chen, long time no see...Oh! Please take a seat. It's a pity you took the time to come here. If you have anything to say, please talk to the assistant. I'll be excused for a moment. Infinity is sorry for the poor hospitality!"
The man waved his hand casually and turned to leave. From his tone to his expression, he was as perfunctory as he could be. It seemed that he had forgotten the scene when they had spent a short time together in China but unexpectedly got along well and had a great conversation.
“York…”
Shen Chuxuan still spoke up and called the person to stop.
But when their eyes met, she didn't know what to say.
"Miss Shen, you want to ask about Kinsley, right? His injuries have improved a lot, but he just needs some emotional adjustment. Don't worry!" York raised his hand to adjust his cuffs and tie, looking businesslike. "So, do you have any questions?"
This wasn't the York Shen Chuxuan was familiar with. She knew the reason and pursed her lips slightly.
"I just... met with A Yin. Thank you for taking care of him. That explosion must have injured many people. Did you—"
"Don't bother," York interrupted rudely, a look of sarcasm on his face. "So Miss Shen is here to inspect the spoils on behalf of your respected father? I'm sorry to disappoint you both, but I'm unharmed! Please tell Lawrence Bedford that Infinity has received the generous gifts and will find a way to express gratitude someday! Don't you Chinese have a saying that goes, 'Retribution comes later in the autumn'? Just let him wait patiently!"
"York..." Shen Chuxuan sighed softly, revealing a sense of powerlessness, "You know very well that I don't mean that..."
“Sir…”
Sharon exchanged a glance with the shocked assistant and quietly reminded her boss to calm down.
I'm afraid that the entire Infinity has never seen Mr. York in this state for the second time.
At the same time, I also felt strange. He was able to persuade others in an orderly manner a few days ago, but why did he suddenly become like a boss, acting so weird.
Fortunately, Miss Shen has a good temper.
Only after I had vented all my anger did I finally regain some of my sanity.
Looking at the calm but obviously gloomy expression of the girl in front of him, York couldn't bear it.
Of course he knew that Chu Xin was just concerned about him. As of today, his personal number had more than a dozen missed calls from Chu Xin. The other party was at his wit's end, so he turned the original meeting of friends into a business meeting that was announced to the whole world.
But there was no way. He really couldn't stand the fear and worry accumulated for such a long time, and the disappointment again and again!
He's never experienced this before...
——Those were his only two close friends who shared his life with him…they were Dustin and Yan…
So, we can’t blame him for being too picky, right?
Kinsley cares about Yan, so he will definitely not be an enemy of Infinity, but what about Chu Yan?
He had clearly stopped Dustin from taking his anger out on her at the Dai family, but now, he couldn't control the faint voice in his heart that kept saying:
What if?
What if Chen Chuxuan is aiding and abetting the evil?
She is Lawrence Bedford's adopted daughter...
The negative emotions brought about by this tiny probability almost crushed him.
So he continued to harden his heart:
"It doesn't matter what Ms. Shen means. If you don't want to leave, you might be able to join Infinity in welcoming our CEO's return. Don't worry, Infinity doesn't act as rudely as BI. We will absolutely guarantee your freedom and safety."
"York, can you calm down and talk to me properly..."
"Sorry, I'm busy. I'll excuse myself first."
“York…”
"Sir!"
During the argument, Sharon suddenly stepped forward to block York's way.
She turned off the real-time communication device embedded in her ear, and without even asking her boss's permission, she directly played the video material she had just received on her tablet.
"Found them! Boss and Ms. Yan, in the children's rescue community in South Korea!"
Those are bases built around the world by Infinity for the victims of this organ transplant incident.
York's heart flew into the air with the familiar figure in the video.
The next second, he fell heavily again.
The freeze-frame at the end of the video shows the girl standing next to the Infinity CEO, who is shot and falls to the ground.
...
Three days later
Shen's Manor, S City, China
Yan Chi shook his wine glass and looked coldly at the flying sleeves and skirts in the middle of the dance floor and the various masks that covered half of the face. His brain, which had not rested for a long time, began to ache slightly.
Originally, he should have been an excellent male dance partner for the ball, but his casually torn tie, haggard face with a slight stubble, and overall resistance attitude had already put off many ladies.
——Forget it, let’s just wait for Kinsley!
Yan Chi naturally had some peace and quiet, or rather, he was also waiting for the young master of the Shen family to show up so that he could quickly answer the question in his mind that he dared not think about.
This masquerade ball was announced by Kinsley, who had just returned from Infinity. Kinsley would definitely show up; he could wait.
He tilted his head back and drank another glass of wine.
But...
Is he hallucinating because he drank too much? How could he see...
Yan Chi staggered to his feet and walked through the sea of people to find the figure he had been thinking about day and night.
"Qing Yan..."
