"If you ask , if you really want to show gratitude, you shouldn’t thank us, but thank the boss! This is sothing you should say to the boss!" Mastiff said, laughing heartily without a care.
"That’s true!" Night Fire scratched his head and laughed.
However, suddenly, Night Fire sensed sothing wasn’t right with the atmosphere.
He looked at Mastiff, whose expression had darkened slightly.
He had spoken hastily, blurting out the words before realizing he had made a mistake.
"What’s wrong?" Night Fire scanned the others, noticing their expressions were tense, and the room instantly beca filled with tension.
"You all should leave first." Yang Cao sighed.
After pondering for a mont, everyone nodded and left the room.
Night Fire felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Yang Cao pulled up a chair, sat down beside the bed, looked at Night Fire, and said gravely, "The boss is in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Night Fire’s mind buzzed as if it had exploded.
He widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.
"Wh...what? What did you say?" Night Fire stared at Yang Cao in disbelief, doubting his own ears.
Yang Cao sighed, "While you were unconscious, a lot happened."
"What exactly happened to the boss?" Although trained professionally and tasked with leading the Dragon Tooth Squad, Night Fire had an exceptional capacity to endure stress. Even though Yang Chen’s situation rattled him montarily, he quickly regained his composure and analyzed calmly.
"The boss was poisoned, with a type of strange toxin with no antidote currently. It’s already been a month; Ancheng is completely locked down, and we haven’t received any information from there. So, we were waiting for you to wake up to head to Ancheng in search of the boss!" Yang Cao explained.
"Why were you waiting for !" Night Fire imdiately shouted, "What’s more important, or the boss? All of you are staying here with ? Do you even understand resource allocation? It’s a complete waste for so many of you to be here!"
Shouting, Night Fire flipped out of bed, roaring, "I’m going to find the boss right now!"
He would rather die himself than see anything happen to Yang Chen.
Besides, now because of him, so many people were staying behind, unable to help Yang Chen, and he felt even more guilty.
Yang Cao looked at Night Fire, frowned, and said, "Do you know why we stayed?"
Night Fire paused, holding still.
Yang Cao stood up, speaking coldly, "If the boss hadn’t issued orders to ensure your recovery, do you think I’d continue staying here? Even though we have the sa boss, I’m part of Asura Hall, not your Dragon Tooth Squad! To be blunt, your life or death has nothing to do with ! If not for the boss, I wouldn’t have stepped forward to treat you!"
Night Fire clenched his fists.
"And! What do you think we’re doing here? I didn’t grow up in Fla Country; its destiny has nothing to do with ! I’m not part of your Dragon Tooth Squad, I’m King Wei of Fla Country! I’m rely a hired guard of Asura Hall! We rely on commissions to survive! If the experintal items here were to escape, Fla Country would beco a post-apocalyptic nation!"
Night Fire’s fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly.
He understood Yang Cao’s point.
In the face of the greater good, they couldn’t compromise.
Moreover, with Yang Chen’s instructions.
"Whatever you think, doesn’t matter to ! I just think you should understand what you should be doing!" Yang Cao said, then pushed the door open and left.
Night Fire stood there, motionless.
After a long ti, Night Fire changed clothes and entered the laboratory, understanding the fear surrounding the items being researched here!
Once he roughly understood the nature of these items, Night Fire’s face changed dramatically.
He found Yang Cao, speaking gravely, "How can you research these things in the city center? Aren’t you afraid sothing will go wrong?"
Yang Cao glanced at Night Fire, and said indifferently, "The base is already built; we’re relocating this afternoon."
"Relocating this afternoon? Aren’t you supposed to go to Ancheng?" Night Fire asked, puzzled.
Yang Cao slightly shook his head, "Temporary change! A chief ca and issued an order; we’re relocating this afternoon! But we were prepared for the relocation ten days ago, so there won’t be any leakage!"
That leader issued the orders upon seeing Night Fire rescued and awake.
After all, staying here even for a minute poses a great threat to Jin Chen.
Night Fire pondered for a mont, nodding slightly, "That’s also good!"
Everything should prioritize the bigger picture!
...
Penglai Island.
Outside the ward.
Professor Qian and Ye Liangcai stood outside, peeking inside from ti to ti.
But with frosted glass, they couldn’t clearly see the situation inside.
They were just worried because another day had passed, and Ye Xin hadn’t woken up. They feared further delays might harm Ye Xin, so they wanted to use the Yun family’s dicine.
In their analysis, it seed at least to be harmless and without side effects for Ye Xin.
Regarding such things, they treated the dead horse like a living one, resembling superstitious behavior.
Yang Chen sat at the bedside, looking at Ye Xin, gently saying, "Xinxin! You should wake up."
Upon hearing soone calling her na, Ye Xin’s eyelashes fluttered, and upon closer look, her eyes were moving beneath her eyelids.
"Do you rember? I still owe you a wedding; don’t you want it? I promised to give you a world-class wedding, to let the whole world know you’re my woman! Don’t you want it? I’ll dress you in the most beautiful wedding dress, adorn you with the most exquisite jewelry, and hold the wedding in the world’s finest venue. These...are all the things I want to prepare for you. Don’t you want it?"
Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin, noticing she was utterly unresponsive to his words.
Yang Chen chuckled bitterly, lowered his head, and sighed, "Outside, Professor Qian and Uncle Ye are waiting. It’s not good to let them wait outside. If you don’t want it, I might have to find soone else for this wedding..."
"You dare!" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind Yang Chen, "You’re my man for life; if you dare ss with any other woman, I’ll kill you first, then her! And then go down with you!"
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Chen was filled with joy, suddenly turning around and shouting at Ye Xin, "Xinxin! You’re awake!"
Ye Xin was incredibly weak, her face pale as gold paper, her lips bloodless, yet her spirited eyes rolled at Yang Chen, playfully chastising, "What? Do you really have soone else? Planning to change the na on the marriage certificate?"
"No!" Yang Chen imdiately laughed, "I belong to you for life, won’t change even if I’m beaten to death!"
Outside, Professor Qian and Ye Liangcai heard Yang Chen’s shouting voice, opened the door, and rushed to the side of the nutrition pod.
Seeing Ye Xin’s smiling face, the two were thrilled, "Xinxin! You’re finally awake!!!"
