Just a moment.
Fusu's figure appeared in the space again, bringing with him several heavy cloth bags.
"Miss Yu, all the new species are here."
He signaled the eunuch to put down the sack, his face still showing pure joy and gratitude.
Yu Bai counted them and found that the total weight of all kinds of high-quality seeds was exactly one hundred kilograms, no more, no less.
She didn't ask for more.
One hundred kilograms is enough.
She had no intention of planting these seeds, which embodied the highest agricultural wisdom of the Qin Empire, on a large scale.
Their true destination is the river boat.
Yu Bai's purpose is simple.
She wanted Jiang Zhou to use all the resources and channels he could mobilize to personally verify the magic of these seeds.
Then, use his influence to pave the way for future commercialization.
However, she still underestimated Jiang Zhou.
In other words, they underestimated the extraordinary sharpness and decisiveness of this man standing at the top of the power pyramid.
Yu Bai thought he was the one who planned it.
Little did they know that Jiang Zhou had already made his move on the other side of the chessboard.
Under the night sky, ten thousand meters above the sky.
A special plane was flying smoothly through the thin clouds towards the brightly lit capital.
It was already the middle of the night.
Jiang Zhou sat on the wide chair and closed his eyes to rest.
It was pitch black outside the porthole, unable to reflect his expression at the moment.
Anyone would be exhausted after a long journey.
But he didn't.
Apart from taking a short nap on the plane, the more important reason was the inconspicuous black ring on his ring finger.
His fingertips unconsciously stroked the ring surface, and a trace of cool air that was imperceptible to ordinary people was emanating from the ring, slowly flowing through his limbs and bones, dispelling all fatigue and keeping his spirit in a calm and clear state.
This is a gift from Yu Bai.
He didn't know how the ring worked, but he knew its value.
The plane landed.
The special car had already been waiting on the tarmac, and the low roar of the engine was particularly clear in the silent night.
The driver took the luggage silently and opened the car door.
Jiang Zhou bent down and got into the car without saying a word. The car was like a black lightning, blending into the steel forest of the city.
Back at the penthouse in the heart of the city, the house was completely silent.
He didn't turn on the light, nor did he wash up first as usual.
With the dim light coming in from the window, he walked straight to the sofa in the living room.
A snow-white Persian cat was curled up in a corner of the sofa, sleeping soundly. When it heard the noise, it just lazily raised its eyelids and let out a soft hum.
Jiang Zhou's eyes softened instantly.
He walked forward, without disturbing it, and slowly stretched out the hand wearing the ring.
Next second.
He leaned over and gently and irresistibly placed the black ring, which exuded a subtle coolness, close to the center of the cat's small forehead.
In the darkness, his eyes were full of scrutiny and expectation.
However.
At the moment the ring touched the snow-white fur, a cold, sharp force that seemed to pierce the soul invaded along the contact point!
"Meow--!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream instantly broke the silence of the penthouse.
That was not the soft and tender expression of everyday coquettishness, but a scream of fear and pain of the unknown that came from the deepest part of life!
The Persian cat "Snowball", who was originally curled up lazily, suddenly straightened his body and kicked his limbs frantically, trying to break free from the hand pressing on his forehead.
An invisible force gripped it tightly like an iron clamp, making all its struggles in vain.
Bound, cold, dangerous!
This is a deadly alarm etched in animal instinct.
Snowball's cries became more and more shrill, and for the first time, his amber eyes revealed extreme fear and pleading to Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou's pupils suddenly shrank.
A trace of heartache and hesitation flashed in his icy eyes.
He almost stopped immediately.
But, it was at this moment.
Something strange happened suddenly!
The shrill scream stopped abruptly.
The frantic struggle suddenly stopped.
The intrusive cold force seemed to have found an outlet for release, or perhaps, it had undergone some strange transformation and fusion.
Instead, a satisfied and lazy "gurgle" rolled out from the depths of Snowball's throat.
Its tense body completely relaxed, and not only did it no longer resist, it even actively and affectionately rubbed its forehead against the black ring.
The eyes that were full of fear before were now narrowed into slits comfortably, and he felt so comfortable as if he was enjoying the best massage.
Jiang Zhou slowly let go of his anxious heart.
He did not move his hand, but just maintained the posture quietly, and the scrutiny in his eyes was gradually replaced by a deep surprise and joy.
One minute.
Two minutes.
The "gurgling" sound gradually subsided.
Snowball fell into a deep sleep under his hands.
It even turned over without any precautions, exposing its softest and most vulnerable belly to the air, and the tip of its tail twitched slightly unconsciously in its sleep.
This is the ultimate trust and peace of mind.
Done!
Jiang Zhou's mouth finally curled up into an uncontrollable smile.
He almost subconsciously took out his cell phone, and with the dim light of the screen, he aimed it at Snowball's peaceful sleeping face and recorded a video.
He wanted to send it to Yu Bai immediately.
He wanted to tell her that the ring she gave him was far more magical than she could have imagined!
However, when he finished recording the video, clicked on the familiar avatar and was about to send it, his fingertips paused.
The time at the top of the screen ticked relentlessly - [03:15].
At this time, she had already fallen asleep.
It's really inappropriate to disturb you rashly.
The heat in Jiang Zhou's eyes slowly subsided, turning into a hint of helpless tenderness.
He saved the video safely and prepared to share this amazing discovery with her as soon as dawn broke.
…
early morning.
The first ray of golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the city.
However, it was not the biological clock or the dim morning light outside the window that woke Jiang Zhou up.
Instead, there was a rapid and heart-pounding ringing of the phone.
That wasn't his usual personal cell phone, but another... dedicated line.
Jiang Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, and the joy and anticipation of the previous night were instantly washed away, replaced by absolute calmness and sharpness.
He reached out and answered the call.
On the other end of the phone, there was only a calm but extremely anxious voice:
"Xiao Zhou, come quickly, your cousin's old illness has relapsed!"
