There are fifteen days left before the White Scorpion poison in Shen Zuimo's body takes effect.
"Zuimo, please open the door. It's your brother."
"I'm resting. Don't bother ."
Looking at the small box on the table, Shen Zuimo still showed no intention of taking the antidote. As promised, just this once, she would be willful. If he refused to return, then she wouldn't take the antidote.
"Staying cooped up in your room for twenty-four hours a day isn't a solution. You're also eating too little... How about opening the door?"
"Brother, don't worry about . Tell that guy to call if he has sothing to say."
"I..."
He had experienced his sister's stubbornness before. Once she had her mind made up about sothing, nothing would change it.
"You know, Xiaofan's situation is different. What you're doing is stopping him from focusing on his work outside..."
"But do you know he could be in danger at any mont while he's working out there? I, Shen Zuimo, have finally fallen in love with a man in this life. I want him back. I just want Ye Xiaofan to co back..."
Such a determined tone. In fact, Zuimo was not really being obstinate; she was waiting for Xiaofan's return in this way.
anwhile, in Japan, in the office where Xiaofan worked.
"What? Still refusing to take the antidote? I told you, even if you have to force it down her throat, make sure she takes it!" Xiaofan asked in surprise after receiving Shen Junjie's call.
"She said if you have sothing to say, call her directly. As her brother, I have no authority over her at all." Shen Junjie expressed his helplessness.
"Sigh... The antidote must be forced to Zuimo in the next few days; we can't wait any longer. I'll call her later."
"Can you call now?"
"Hm?"
"She hasn't even had breakfast today..."
"Damn it... okay, I'll call now."
Originally, a daily call was a must, but ever since Zuimo demanded he return every ti, Xiaofan was a bit afraid to call her because he could sense Zuimo's intense anticipation, her hope for him to return.
But right now, he truly couldn't leave. Apart from the fact that he was pursuing information on HLY007, he was also poisoned by the White Scorpion himself. And he had to keep the poisoning a secret from her.
"Hello, Zuimo..."
"Yeah."
"Why haven't you taken the antidote yet?"
"Have you co back yet?"
"Soon. Take the antidote first..."
"Okay, in a few days."
"Why won't you listen?"
"I'm listening, I'm well-behaved."
"Don't joke with your life, please?"
"Hm? Why are you so fierce to ?"
"I..."
See, this is exactly where Xiaofan is at a loss with Zuimo. Her voice is sweet, and if you coax her, she can see through your thoughts in an instant. If you use a harsher tone, she'll imdiately act sweet and coy. What can Xiaofan do? What can he do?
"Listen, take the antidote. Also, you must eat three als a day on ti."
"Okay, I took it, and for breakfast, I even had two bowls of white rice porridge."
"Liar..."
"Yes, I'm lying. Co back and hit if you dare."
"I..."
"Go work; don't mind . I just wanted to punish myself a bit. I wouldn't joke with my life. You, co back soon. I will wait for you."
Looking at the phone call that had already ended, Xiaofan scratched his head. At that mont, he wanted nothing more than to fly back to Shen Zuimo's side imdiately, make her take the antidote, and then feed her, mouthful by mouthful, to fatten her up like a little pig, white and chubby.
That damned Lingze, where on earth has he hidden HLY007? And Bai Xue over there, has she helped with the investigation? Also, Penghai and others from the Hidden Assassination Squad and the Yanhuang Soul Intelligence Departnt still haven't sent any information. Probably, there are no leads.
In such a large place like Japan, where do I even begin?
Turning attention back to Xiao Lei and Zhang Yu's incident.
Just today, while Zhang Yu was happily waiting for the project launch news, he only received a dismissal letter. Before Zhang Yu even had a chance to question Fujiwara Reiko, she was taken away by the police. Moreover, Zhang Yu was also taken for investigation.
Yes, Leng Yue already had evidence of Fujiwara Reiko exploiting resources and pocketing funds during collaborations with other companies. Once Xiaofan gave the order, they would arrest her.
Xiao Lei also said to proceed as needed. It wasn't that Xiao Lei was heartless; she had to let go of everything from the past and start anew. From now on, there would be no Zhang Yu in Xiao Lei's world.
However, when she saw Zhang Yu being taken away, her heart softened. Ultimately, she couldn't be entirely resolute after all.
"Xiao Lei, save , Xiao Lei, why is this happening? Xiao Lei, quickly explain to them, all of this is a misunderstanding. Xiao Lei, have you forgotten? The happy tis we spent together..."
Soft-hearted as she was, her decision was firm and unchangeable.
Yet, thinking about what would beco of Zhang Yu, it sohow lingered in her mind.
"Li Fei, they've both been taken away." Watching as the car took them both, Xiao Lei then entered Xiaofan's office.
"Hmm. What's wrong? Feeling sad for him?"
"This ti, he truly has nothing left." Xiao Lei said softly.
"If you don't want him to suffer like this, I can help get him released." Xiaofan slowly said.
"No, he deserves this. I just want to know, what will happen to him?" Xiao Lei asked faintly.
"There shouldn't be much. After all, the main culprit is Fujiwara Reiko; Zhang Yu is just an accessory, and it's his first offense. Besides, I withdrew the project, so his involvent isn't significant. However, the investigation process is complicated, and at the fastest, it would take a month. After a month, he can only be deported back ho." Xiaofan explained.
"Oh..."
This should be the best possible outco.
"Anything else you want to ask?"
"Hmm..."
"Go ahead and ask."
"I suddenly understand why you are so popular with the girls."
"Hm? Why?"
"If I explain, I'm afraid I wouldn't get it right, but I've found myself starting to like you." This ti, Xiao Lei candidly expressed her feelings to Xiaofan.
"Wow, such a quick change of heart, and your ex-boyfriend just got arrested... Won..." Xiaofan teased deliberately.
"Yes, I'm that realistic. So what? Want to make yours? Anyway, I don't know when I can ever pay back that money. Take in, and I won't have to pay it back." Xiao Lei laughed lightly.
"Hmm? Maybe we'll talk about it in the future..."
"Why in the future?" Xiao Lei asked curiously.
"Because I have many important things to do. Starting now, the company will be left to you and Ren Li. I probably won't be able to return to the company often." Xiaofan looked out the window, thinking he shouldn't just wait for Bai Xue to investigate; he should also start gathering so information himself.
