Boss Wan shot to his feet. "Get out."
"Calm down," Thunder said, rising to his feet as well. "Do you really want to see her become like that?"
"I'll think of something else. You can leave now."
Chen Huan sighed and pulled him back to his seat. "Calm down. Let him finish."
"You should know that we're the only ones who can help you. Even if you have connections abroad, can you guarantee that they won't do anything to you? We're not the only ones researching genetic modification. Once someone finds out what's inside Chen Huan's body, do you think she won't be in danger? "
Boss Wan's body was tense and he remained silent. Chen Huan placed her hand in his palm and slowly calmed him down. Then she asked Thunder, "Can I still come back on weekends?"
"I'm afraid not for the first few months, but the recovery period is fine. But according to the doctor, it'll be at least a year before the treatment. "
Thunder glanced at Boss Wan and stood up. "I'm leaving. You guys think about it carefully. We have to start the treatment by the end of this month."
There were only two of them left. After a moment of silence, Boss Wan spoke first. "I'll think of something. This may not be the only way."
"I think he's right," Chen Huan said, leaning into his arms. "We can't see each other for a year, right? What if I really can't wake up? "
Boss Wan held her tightly in his arms, not saying a single word.
Three days later, Thunder came to pick Chen Huan up. Boss Wan stood in front of him for a long time, so long that Thunder thought that Boss Wan was going to kill him. Then, Boss Wan spoke in a sinister voice.
"I'm leaving her to you. If anything happens to her, I'll do everything in my power to take you down with me."
"I promise," Thunder said, pounding his chest. "With my life."
Chen Huan came down the stairs. Boss Wan held out his hand. "Remember what you promised me, or I'll break in and find you."
"You have to remember what you promised me!" Chen Huan kissed him. "Otherwise, I'll poison you."
Holding the suitcase, Wan San raised his head and promised, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. We'll keep an eye on the boss!"
Boss Wan glanced at him. Chen Huan smiled and turned his head to face her. "Don't be so serious. I'm going to get treated, not die!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Boss Wan flicked her forehead. "Be careful. Don't agree to any of their requests. Safety first. Don't experiment on your own body."
Chen Huan nodded vigorously. "You've said it several times. Let's go! Let's go! "
It was the same place as last time, but Boss Wan was reluctant to let her go. In the end, it was Chen Huan who pushed him aside and ran into the room herself. On the way back, Wan San and Wan Er didn't dare to utter a word.
"Cut off the supply from Europe. The base on the island …"
"Boss, the key to the base is with sister-in-law. If we want to destroy it, we can only blow up the island underwater." Wan Er reminded him, "That way, the military will know."
Boss Wan stared out the car window. "They should be here soon."
In the end, they had planned everything, but the military did not make any moves.
"Boss …" Wan Er knocked on the door and entered.
Boss Wan had just turned off the video call. It had become a compulsory lesson for him every night. Basically, he would video call Chen Huan after dinner at seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
He had to find out what Chen Huan had done today. He had to know everything, including how many times she had gone to the bathroom.
"Speak." Boss Wan walked out from behind the desk. Wan Er stammered for a long time without saying anything.
Boss Wan glanced at him. "What do they want now?"
"No, they … they said they don't want it anymore." Wan Er realized that he hadn't made it clear enough, so he repeated himself. "The military just said that the previous deal is invalid. They don't want it anymore."
After a moment of silence, Boss Wan picked up the phone and called Lei Ming.
"Why did they cancel the deal?"
Lei Ming said something on the other end, and then Boss Wan hung up.
"Boss, what did they mean?"
"They didn't say." Boss Wan frowned. "He's out on a mission. He said he'll see me when he comes back."
Wan Er thought for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do?"
"You don't have to do anything. Boss Wan sneered. "If they can't satisfy me with this, I don't mind nullifying the previous deal."
"Sister-in-law is still with them."
Boss Wan moved his fingers. "Wait until I see Lei Ming."
The next day, Lu Xing came to him and told him that he was going abroad for a few months.
"Have you finished dealing with the Lu family?"
"I can't thank you enough!" Lu Xing bowed to him solemnly.
The military had dealt a heavy blow to the Lu family this time. Treason was a serious crime, and no amount of military service could make up for it. In a short time, the Lu family had fallen from being one of the four most influential families in the capital to the last position. Under Boss Wan's manipulation, Lu Xing took the opportunity to swallow thirty percent of the Lu family's shares.
"The Lu family will be finished sooner or later. Don't forget to sell your shares when the time is right."
Lu Xing nodded. "I will. I'll cash it out in time."
"Why are you going abroad?" Boss Wan asked.
"Guan Yan is pregnant. She's overreacting. I need to find a quiet place for her to rest."
Boss Wan didn't think much of it. He nodded and said, "I'll lend you a few of my men. Tell them if you need anything."
"Thanks!" Lu Xing left without saying anything else. He knew that Boss Wan was in a bad mood. He heard from Guan Yan that something was wrong with Chen Huan's health.
Lei Ming came to see Boss Wan as soon as he came back.
"Tell me. I don't believe you." Boss Wan looked terrible.
Ever since Chen Huan left, he had been feeling uncomfortable. But he noticed that Chen Huan had put on weight! Was he the only one who couldn't eat? That girl was so heartless that she was eating and sleeping …
"You're overthinking it," Lei Ming said with a smile. "The higher-ups decided to cancel the agreement after careful consideration."
Boss Wan stared at him. "Give me a reason.
Lei Ming shrugged. "Don't take those people for fools. You've handed over the domestic supply line. Without the support of the Europeans, no one can get the arms. As for your base … "Lei Ming paused." They're probably afraid that you have a backup plan. If an accident happens and the island is blown up, they won't be able to do anything to you. "
"If you cancel the agreement now, don't even think about doing anything to me in the future." Boss Wan didn't believe the military. They had planned this for so long. Who were they kidding?
"I know you don't believe me, but it's the truth." Lei Ming's eyes flashed. "By the way, Chen Huan asked me to bring this to you." Lei Ming put a bag on the table.
Boss Wan opened it immediately. It was a red pillow with his and Chen Huan's names and a little angel on it.
"She embroidered this." Lei Ming glanced at him. "Don't make her worry. She won't feel good if she sees you in a bad mood."
Boss Wan touched his name on the pillow and his expression softened. "Bring this to her for me." When he raised his head to speak to Lei Ming, his face was expressionless again.
Lei Ming took away everything that Boss Wan had bought for Chen Huan. There was everything, from high-end luxury bags to tasty snacks. After Lei Ming left, Wan Wan gathered in the study. They saw Boss Wan hugging a pillow without saying a word.
"Boss, cross-stitch! Sister-in-law embroidered it, right? "Wan Wan leaned over to take a look.
Boss Wan glared at him. "Get someone to keep an eye on the military."
"Are they really giving up?" Wan Er's face was full of conspiracy.
"No matter what they're up to, we have to be prepared." Boss Wan touched his name on the pillow again. "Next, tell the base to hurry up. The more valuable the things we have, the more bargaining chips we'll have in future negotiations.
Time went by, but Boss Wan's habit never changed. He never forgot to video call Chen Huan. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Boss Wan was in a good mood today. Even Chen Huan could feel it through the video call.
"Did you make a lot of money?" Chen Huan teased. "You're smiling so much that your teeth are showing."
Boss Wan touched her face through the screen. "It'll be a year in a month. How's your body?"
"I'm fine," Chen Huan said. "Now we'll see how my recovery goes."
Boss Wan nodded. "I'll visit you next month," he said.
He had made this request half a year ago. Now, it was finally a year later.
"Haha." Chen Huan laughed. "Let them arrange it!"
Boss Wan looked at her and felt something was wrong. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. "Huanhuan, you seem to have put on some weight."
"Ah!" Chen Huan covered her face. "Am I fat?"
"Damn it," Boss Wan cursed himself in his mind. He quickly shook his head. "No, I mean. You look rounder than before, but you're still pretty. Like … like a red apple."
"Enough!" Chen Huan poked the screen with a grin. "Don't make it hard for yourself to lie. My face is indeed rounder. Looks like I need to lose weight!"
After that, Boss Wan tried his best to prove that he was not complaining about Chen Huan's weight. Chen Huan kept teasing him, giggling. When she was about to hang up, she reminded Boss Wan.
"Guan Yan has given birth. Remember to send her a gift!"
Boss Wan remembered this and went to Lu Xing's house the next day.
Guan Yan had just finished her confinement. She came back after giving birth abroad. When Boss Wan arrived, Lu Xing was changing the baby's diaper.
"Do you want a hug?" Guan Yan held up the cleaned little ball of meat.
Boss Wan looked at the pink ball of meat and shook his head expressionlessly.
Lu Xing carried his daughter over with a smug look on his face. "Cute, right? She looks like me! "
"I can't tell," Boss Wan said honestly. A one-month-old baby couldn't even open her eyes. What could he tell?
Guan Yan nagged beside him. "She looks like a little angel now. When I was pregnant with her, she was torturing me. I thought it was a boy. Who knew it was a girl?"
"She was torturing you in the belly?" Boss Wan did not understand this at all.
Lu Xing looked like an experienced man. "Of course. When Guan Yan was pregnant, she slept every day. She always said that she was sleepy. She could even fall asleep while eating."
"Sleepy?" Something flashed across Boss Wan's mind. "Do all pregnant women have this kind of symptoms?"
Guan Yan looked at him strangely. "Yeah. Why are you interested in this?"
"You get fat too?"
"Not necessarily!" Guan Yan said smugly. "I'm not fat."
Boss Wan glanced at her.
Guan Yan waved her hand. "I'm only fat now because I'm breastfeeding. I'll be back to normal when the baby is weaned."
The truth was laid out before Boss Wan's eyes so abruptly that he was caught off guard.
