He had to admit that even after taking NZT-48, he still could not control a person's mind.
Should this be the limitation of NZT-48 or should he say that a person's mind was unpredictable?
The strong smell of smoke made Chen Chen cough lightly. He looked at Guo Dazhuang who had turned around and left, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in his eyes.
Although the three of them had compromised for the sake of profit as Chen Chen had expected, he had undoubtedly underestimated someone like Guo Dazhuang.
Perhaps it was this stubbornness and unyielding spirit that made him one of the top executives of the world's largest hacker organization, Anonymous, and the boss of a company with a market value of more than a billion?
Chen Chen's failure to deal with Guo Dazhuang rang an alarm bell in his increasingly inflated mentality.
It was obvious that he had touched Guo Dazhuang's sore spot.
However, if Guo Dazhuang was just unwilling to invest, Chen Chen would not make things difficult for him. He did not lack Guo Dazhuang's support. He could even apologize on the spot.
However, what Chen Chen did not expect was that not only was Guo Dazhuang prepared to fight to the death with him, but he also used his parents to threaten him.
With this, Guo Dazhuang had also touched Chen Chen's sore spot.
Therefore, a situation of no return until one of them died had occurred.
Sometimes, a confrontation between life and death often happened in an instant.
Chen Chen silently crushed out the cigarette butt, then stood up, opened the curtains of the private room, and looked down.
Downstairs, Guo Dazhuang's gait was a little strange. He walked out of Mickey Coffee House in silence, then walked toward the road without a moment's pause.
The road was crowded with countless vehicles coming and going in an endless stream.
However, Guo Dazhuang seemed to not see it. He directly crossed the sidewalk and walked straight to the other side of the road.
One car, two cars, three cars …
Cars passed by Guo Dazhuang one after another, the vehicles emitting ear-piercing honks. Guo Dazhuang seemed to be possessed, turning a blind eye to the danger around him.
"Boom!"
Finally, when Guo Dazhuang crossed the median in the middle of the road, an SUV could not brake in time and slammed into Guo Dazhuang, sending him flying.
The ear-piercing sound of brakes rang through half the street. Countless people subconsciously looked toward the source of the sound.
At this time, Chen Chen closed the curtains again. He snapped his fingers and smiled at the door.
"Waiter, bill please."
...
"Ring ring ring!"
Just as Chen Chen was riding the battery-powered scooter back to his warehouse, his phone suddenly rang.
When Chen Chen heard this ringtone, he could not help but frown.
The ringtone that he had set would only ring when X contacted him.
Before leaving, Chen Chen had put X into hibernation mode to avoid any accidents while he was away.
There was only one situation that would awaken the dormant X — someone from the warehouse had come.
Chen Chen placed a dozen or so surveillance cameras around the warehouse. They were positioned at a perfect angle to each other and these cameras were directly connected to X's processor.
As soon as any traces of strangers were detected in the surveillance, X would wake up from hibernation and contact Chen Chen immediately.
Chen Chen parked the scooter by the roadside and quickly took out his phone to take a look.
X sent him more than a dozen pictures taken from the surveillance cameras.
In the first picture, a girl wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts got out of a red car. The girl was tall, but her face was blurred because of the pixels.
In the second picture, the girl came to the door of the warehouse and knocked lightly on the shutter.
In the third picture, the girl seemed to know that there was no one in the warehouse, so she sat on the slope in front of the warehouse door and picked up her phone.
On the fourth photo, the girl put down her phone again.
Chen Chen shook his head slightly, stuffed the phone back into his pocket, and started the scooter again.
The girl who came was none other than Xia Yin.
Chen Chen had deliberately chosen that warehouse in the middle of nowhere as the company's location. He did not know how Xia Yin had found it. Also, looking at her conflicted expression in the surveillance screenshots, she seemed to be hesitating about whether or not to contact him.
"Why bother?"
Chen Chen sighed to himself. A bootlicker had no place...
An hour later, Chen Chen finally rushed back to the warehouse. Even with the wind from the scooter, Chen Chen was still parched by the scorching sun.
However, Chen Chen did not expect to see a red Mercedes-Benz parked by the roadside when he turned the corner behind the warehouse.
At the same time, in front of the warehouse door, Xia Yin also raised her head and looked in his direction.
Currently, Xia Yin was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of blue denim shorts. When she sat on the ground, the shorts shrunk, which immediately highlighted the slender lines of her legs.
At this moment, if someone asked Xia Yin what her specialty was, Chen Chen could answer with absolute certainty: her legs were long.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was constantly exuding youthful vitality, Chen Chen shook his head and said speechlessly, "You haven't left yet."
"What do you mean?"
Xia Yin quickly stood up, patting the dust off her butt while complaining, "I haven't been here for long."
Chen Chen parked the scooter beside the warehouse and took out the key. "How did you know I was here?"
"Viagra told me."
Xia Yin proudly ran to her car and made a New Year gesture. "I'm just here to show off to you. Do you see this new car?"
"Your car is so white. Oh no, your legs are so new..." Chen Chen deliberately made an obscene remark.
Xia Yin blushed when she heard this and quickly changed the subject. "This car is a reward from my dad because my paper was published in the journal Cell."
'I f * cking knew it!'
Chen Chen turned around with a blank expression and opened the shutter door. "Auntie, I still want to work hard for a while. You go find a young man who doesn't want to work hard."
"What auntie? Am I that old? "
Xia Yin suddenly puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "I'm only three grades older than you and I started school a year earlier. Strictly speaking, I'm only two years older than you!"
"You're just a 58-year-old auntie, okay?"
Chen Chen walked into the warehouse and took out a bottle of Wahaha mineral water from under the bed. He twisted the cap and gulped down half of the bottle before stopping. "Auntie, do you want me to pour you a cup of cappuccino?"
"What cappuccino? I don't drink coffee." Xia Yin looked confused.
"See, you don't even know this common sense. That's why I said you're an auntie." Chen Chen said disdainfully, "Does Brother Kai know?"
Xia Yin shook her head blankly.
"Does Princess Qiao Biluo know?"
Xia Yin shook her head again.
"Since you don't know anything, you should make up for it. You're always talking about postgraduate scholarships. You've become stupid!"
Chen Chen tossed a bottle of mineral water to Xia Yin and said disdainfully, "Go away, we're not in the same world!"
"Are you crazy!"
Xia Yin finally lost her temper and smashed the bottle of mineral water on Chen Chen's head. "I came all the way here to find you and you're always yelling at me? What's so bad about me that you're always treating me like this? "
Chen Chen rubbed his head and said stubbornly, "I just don't like your bootlicker attitude. Don't be a bootlicker if you can."
"Hiss..."
Xia Yin's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "But if I don't really like it, who would want to be a bootlicker? Besides, I've already given up on postgraduate scholarships! "
Chen Chen was shocked. He raised his head and asked, "Why did you give up? Didn't you already submit your application for postgraduate scholarships?"
"But I thought about it and changed my mind in the end."
Xia Yin lowered her head. "I suddenly came to a realization. I know that I won't go down the path of biology in the future, so why waste my time? Besides, the reason I wanted to do postgraduate studies was to go against my father. Now that my relationship with my father has eased, there's even less of a need for me to do postgraduate studies. "
"That's true. I'm the child of a poor family. I can't understand the thinking of a rich woman like you." Chen Chen rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
