Joe Qiao, do you take me for a fool?
A vast and boundless golf course.
Phillips was leisurely playing golf with a few colleagues. He was wearing a set of sportswear that showed his long hands and feet. At this moment, he looked more like a big boy next door. He was handsome, sunny, and full of vitality. But who would have thought that this young man, who was only 20 years old, was already standing at the top of this country?
At this time, he was holding a golf club and gesturing in the distance. A subordinate walked to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Phillips raised his eyebrows. "Is the news reliable?"
"It's reliable. Our people have confirmed it again and again."
"Hehe, it's even better than I expected. The radiation from the ore doesn't have a specific effect on the human body. The last time, it was heart failure. This time, it's thirst. I'm really looking forward to seeing a more refreshing case next time," Phillips said leisurely, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
The subordinate couldn't figure out Phillips's intentions, so he asked tentatively, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Phillips swung his golf club again. His gaze was fixed in the distance. After hitting the golf ball, he slowly said, "Let's delay them for a while first. It's easy to arouse suspicion if we move too frequently. It's also good to take advantage of this opportunity to dampen their spirit."
"Yes."
After the subordinate received the order, he did not leave. Instead, he handed a set of photos to Phillips and said, "Sir, please take a look at this."
"What is this?" Phillips put the golf club aside and looked at the photos. His eyes flashed and a playful smile appeared on his face. "This is a pleasant surprise."
This set of photos was of Adam forcing Qiao Qiao to drink his blood. Their actions were extremely ambiguous. From the picture, it looked like they were tightly kissing. It was quite visually impactful. The person who took the photos had deliberately changed the angle. It was obviously intentional.
Seeing that Phillips was so satisfied, the subordinate, who was still a little worried, finally felt relieved. He suggested, "Your Excellency, do you need us to distribute this set of photos?"
"No."
Phillips returned the photos to his subordinates and said slowly, "Since we've obtained this set of photos, we should make full use of him. Now is not the time, let's keep him for now."
The subordinate couldn't guess what Phillips was thinking, so he just nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Phillips continued to play golf leisurely. His lips curled into a smile, but his eyes were cold as ice. He slowly said, "Last time I stumbled. I'd like to see if you can make me stumble again, Adam!"
The club fell, and the staff in the distance waved a small flag to indicate that it was a hit.
Phillips's eyes flashed with determination.
After playing golf with his colleagues, Phillips was on his way back to the Elder Council when he suddenly received a summons from the highest level within the organization.
The organization's internal network was badly hacked, and a portion of the personnel list was lost.
This matter was immediately raised to the highest level of priority.
The J Organisation's Red J-Ranked officers were pulled into [Pandora], which is basically a discussion group. The only difference is that everyone inside is anonymous, so there's no way to lock onto each other's IP, let alone find out their true identities.
In [Pandora], a Black J-Ranked officer issued a mission to every Red J-Ranked member. Two of them were sent to investigate the source of the intrusion and issued a kill order. Once a suspicious target is confirmed, they can be dealt with on the spot. Additionally, Phillips also received two missions.
1. Accelerate the corruption of the J Country's top brass.
2. After Lilith gives birth to the child, determine whether or not the child has any intention of attacking the organization. Depending on the situation, decide whether or not to eliminate the child.
Phillips looked at his mission code and raised his eyebrows.
The first mission is progressing step by step. As for the second mission, as long as Qiao Qiao is still bound by the necklace, her actions will be under his control.
For him, this mission is a piece of cake.
Even among the Red J-Ranked members, Phillips is considered a rare talent.

It's been a while since Qiao Qiao contracted the Blood Thirst disease.
Adam immediately organized a medical team to come up with an emergency treatment plan for the Blood Thirst disease. Through medication, Qiao Qiao's condition was alleviated to a certain extent. At the time, she still had to drink a few hundred cc of blood every day to stabilize her condition.
She also clearly felt that the way her maids looked at her had changed.
She knew that although these people didn't say it out loud, they were definitely afraid of her in their hearts because no one could be sure that she wouldn't lose control and pounce to bite them in the next second. This was human nature, so Qiaoqiao didn't blame them.
On this day, Qiao Qiao put down the bowl of blood.
Seeing that, Adam doubtfully asked: "Lilith, why aren't you drinking? Is it not to your taste? "
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched.
Do you think this is a drink? Taste!
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched, saying: "The smell of rust in the blood is too strong, it's uncomfortable to smell."
"After all, it contains iron ions, that's the smell." Adam put the bowl to the side and wiped her lips with a tissue, "It's fine if you don't want to drink, but do you want to eat something else?"
Qiao Qiao was about to shake her head and say that she has no appetite, but thinking of the two children in her stomach, she nodded, "I want to eat porridge."
"Mm, I already had someone prepare it for you." Adam clapped his hands and a maid came in with the porridge.
"Do you need me to feed you?" Adam took the bowl and turned to ask Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched, her face showing obvious dissatisfaction, "I'm not a child! Why would I need someone to feed me? "
With that said, she snatched the bowl from him and started to eat. However, after just one bite, it was so hot that she spat it out. Her tongue was scalded and numb. Seeing this, Adam couldn't help but look up and laugh helplessly. "You still say you're not a child, but you can't even eat porridge like this."
Qiao Qiao wanted to retort, but her tongue hurt and numb, so she had no choice but to swallow it and stop sulking.
Adam got someone to refill the bowl and tested the temperature before handing it to her.
After drinking half a bowl of porridge, Qiao Qiao really couldn't drink anymore.
"You're not drinking anymore?"
"I don't feel like drinking anymore."
Qiao Qiao shook her head. She had already tried her best to force herself to swallow it.
"Alright then, have a good rest today. You have to continue working tomorrow. Is that okay?" asked Adam as he handed the bowl to the maid.
"No problem."
She had already wasted a lot of time. Now that her condition had stabilized, she couldn't continue to be lazy.
At that moment, Qiao Qiao's cell phone, which had been placed by the bed, suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was He Shaochen. Her eyes lit up. "Shaochen is calling!"
Adam raised his eyebrows in disdain. "How long has it been since that man called you? Why are you so happy? "
Qiao Qiao's cheeks were already rosy. She smiled and said, "He's the CEO of a financial group. He must have a lot of things to do every day. We have to understand."
When he heard Qiao Qiao's words, Adam was full of anger but had nowhere to vent it. He was a little discouraged and said, "You're easy to talk to."
However, he didn't know if that man would appreciate it.
Since the two of them were on the phone, it was inevitable that they would talk about some private matters. Adam and the maids went out to give Qiao Qiao some private space.
"Hello? Shaochen. "
Qiao Qiao tried to lighten her tone as quickly as possible.
"If I didn't call you, wouldn't you have called me?" He Shaochen's voice was much colder than Qiao Qiao's. There was a hint of hostility in his tone. "Or is it that as long as Adam is by your side, it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not?"
She was obviously very happy to receive He Shaochen's call, but when she heard his tone, the joy in her heart instantly cooled by half.
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and stammered, "No, I was just worried that calling you out of the blue would affect your work, so I didn't call you …"
He Shaochen snorted and asked again, "I heard from my people that you're sick, right?"
"Did you call me because you heard that I was sick?" Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up again.
"That was my original intention …" He Shaochen said and paused. "But with Adam by your side to take care of you, I'm sure you'll be fine."
"Yes, with Adam by your side, you don't have to worry."
Qiao Qiao didn't want He Shaochen to worry, so she went along with his words. However, He Shaochen felt that it was very grating. Because with Adam by her side, she didn't have to worry?
Who was Adam to her?
With him around, as her husband, he didn't have to worry about his wife? She even said that subconsciously, she had become more dependent on Adam?
He Shaochen's expression darkened.
Recently, he and Freya had spent a lot of effort to break through the firewall of the J Organisation's internal network system. However, the results were obvious. Now, they had already confirmed the identities of some of the J Organisation's members and had eliminated them at lightning speed.
However, the J Organisation's reaction was also very fast. They immediately launched a desperate counterattack. Now, the two sides were in a deadlock.
He Shaochen could only breathe a sigh of relief and call Qiao Qiao.
However, the content of the conversation didn't satisfy him.
He was risking his life for her, but she seemed to be living a good life with Adam. Did she even have a heart?
"Ha, with your beloved executive officer around, it seems that my worries are unnecessary. Let me guess, before I called, he was with you too?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment. She felt that He Shaochen's tone was getting colder, but she still replied, "He was with me just now."
"Really … It seems that I've disturbed you."
"Why did you say that?" Qiao Qiao wasn't someone without a temper. Hearing He Shaochen's words, she also felt uncomfortable. "We haven't talked for so many days. Can't you talk to me properly?"
"Then have you ever thought about me?"
"Yes!"
Qiaoqiao answered resolutely and decisively.
She thought about him all the time. She was afraid of disturbing his work. Why did she stare blankly at her phone all day? Why did he have to involve her with Adam? What did she think about him and Adam? What exactly was this person jealous of?
Perhaps because Qiao Qiao answered without thinking, He Shaochen couldn't help but be stunned.
His face gradually became warmer.
"Really?"
"Of course! You're my lover. If I don't miss you, who will I miss? "Qiao Qiao said unhappily.
Qiao Qiao's voice clearly sounded very angry, but Young Master He's mood inexplicably turned for the better. He curled his lips and said: "Of course you have to think of me. If you dare to think of other men, you're dead!"
"Humph, can you put away your vinegar jar!"
"Isn't it because you don't let me rest assured? Qiao Qiao, to tell you the truth, I hate you and … "
Just then, the door suddenly rang.
"Who is it?"
"Lilith, it's me."
Adam's voice sounded outside the door.
"Adam?"
Qiao Qiao subconsciously said Adam's name. He Shaochen immediately heard it and said unhappily, "Why is that man looking for you?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe it's something urgent. Wait a moment."
With that, Qiao Qiao covered her phone and said to Adam, "Come in."
Adam walked in and saw that Qiao Qiao hadn't hung up the phone. He thought for a moment and mouthed, "The medical team has a new breakthrough. Maybe it can cure your thirst."
"Really?"
Qiao Qiao was pleasantly surprised.
Adam also had a smile on his face. He pointed at the phone and said, "When you're done, we'll go over."
"Okay!"
Qiao Qiao's face was full of uncontrollable joy. There was a cure for her thirst.
When she picked up the phone again, He Shaochen's voice suddenly turned cold. "What were you talking about just now?"
And his voice was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It was obvious that he was deliberately avoiding her!
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She didn't tell He Shaochen about her thirst. Before she was sure that it could be cured, it was better to hide it from him so that he wouldn't worry. Hence, Qiao Qiao said perfunctorily, "Nothing much. He was just telling me about tomorrow's schedule."
"Tomorrow's schedule?" He Shaochen suddenly sneered. His voice was cold.
Was it really just about the schedule that he had to deliberately lower his voice?
Qiao Qiao's heart was beating like a drum. He couldn't have sensed something, right?
After a long time.
He Shaochen's cold voice sounded. "Qiao Qiao, in your eyes, I'm a fool!"
