C163 Release a mute cannon? (2/2)
It was another call, and it ended there.
Midnight passed, and the door was pushed open.
Yan Xie Chen walked in and asked, ”How is it?”
K straightened his back.
”Everything has been arranged!”
Yan Xie Chen sat down on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other.
”What do you mean?”
K: ”If things go well, Miss Tang will call you before tonight!”
Before he finished his sentence, the listener let out a sizzling sound as if an electric current had passed by.
”What did you say?”
Tang Chu Rui asked anxiously.
The voice on the other side of the phone was filled with grief, ”Miss Tang, please calm down. As your family members, we have an obligation to inform you of this. The doctors have given their all to rescue you.
In the quiet room, countless machines were installed, and the monitoring screen was constantly flickering.
K. manipulated everything here, recording every analysis and response.
They were both silent, listening to Tang's voice, so hoarse that it no longer belonged to her.
”You mean. My dad will be a vegetable, won't he? ”
There was silence on the other end of the line.
The tips of Tang's fingers trembled, unable to control herself.
”My father will always be in bed, won't he. You'll never wake up, right? ”
The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before speaking.
”We have to be prepared for the worst.” The voice on the other side was organized, ”At the same time, the family members need to be prepared with funds to face this result in advance. The patient needs to stay in the hospital until his vital signs return to normal. The cost of daily care is not a small amount.”
When he hung up the phone, Tang's hands were shaking so much that he couldn't press the screen button.
Yan Xie Chen sat on the sofa and rubbed his jujube red fur with a complicated expression.
K nodded. ”Yes.”
After that, a buzzing sound could be heard from the monitor.
A landlady's phone came in. It was filled with a string of English words, spoken very straightforwardly and sloppily. At the end of each phone was an emphasis on words.
Just by listening to the tone inside, he could tell that the landlord already detested the delay of this household. If they didn't move out, he would directly kick them out.
Tang Chu Rui's mood was already very low. At this moment, her voice was tired and hoarse. She didn't even have the energy to make a fuss and calmly choked up. She haggled with the landlord for the transition period of two days and agreed to pay an extra 10% commission.
One wave had yet to calm down, the other wave had already begun.
Not long after the call, there was another email.
Dingdong.
The contents of the message appeared on the screen of his phone.
It was a new job that Tang had applied for before.
She sent her resume by email, along with her work history. She waited for days, but eventually, she only received a message like this one.
The message was very simple: Miss, your requirements are far from our requirements. We recommend that you clarify our career plans and choose a job that fits your needs.
Tang Chu Rui put down her cell phone. She didn't even feel her heart sinking. He only felt that everything in his chest had turned ice-cold, with not a single echo.
As Yan Xie Chen listened to the sounds rising and falling in the empty room, standing in the same position as the mastermind, his emotions became even more complicated.
”Financial difficulties, job rejection, moving of apartment, a father who is about to turn into a vegetable in the country, he needs to burn his money like a bottomless pit …”
said K., finishing his last mouthful of instant noodles.
”Doesn't that sound pretty worrisome? ”Don't worry, those were just appetizers just now. They really haven't arrived yet.”
K didn't know which key to press. At this moment, the big screen outside in the central square showed the international news.
From her vantage point, the window looked out onto the central square.
On the electronic screen in the square was the latest financial news. The camera flashed past and landed on a familiar face.
Huan Jing?
Her heart shrunk!
He was wearing a formal suit, and he was shaking hands and smiling as the camera zoomed in.
Separated by a screen, he could feel the high spirits of the people inside.
Anyone who saw this news would sigh lightly at how dazzling the man inside was. Young and capable, born of good family background, with superior education, the elite class, whether it was natural resources or hard work in the future, had allowed him to firmly occupy the top ranks of the pyramid.
For the first time, Tang realized that although there seemed to be only a screen of distance between them, in reality, mountains and rivers were very far away, making it difficult for them to pass through.
… …. There shouldn't have been any interaction between them.
… ….
Yan Xie Chen waited for a long time. He pinched his watch, and ten minutes passed.
Ten minutes was enough to shake all his confidence.
”Why isn't he here yet?”
he asked.
K. scratched his head. ”I don't know, but the phone should have been calling by now. Young Master, don't be in such a hurry, wait a little longer... ”
Another ten minutes passed.
Yan Xie Chen: ”It can't be that your plan is useless, right?”
Every second felt like an eternity to him. Furthermore, he knew that what he had done was more or less immoral. Yan Xie Chen stood up and threw down his phone, ”Forget it, let's do it this way.”
K panicked. ”Don't, young master! Otherwise, how can I help you think of another way? ”
Yan Xie Chen: ”No need.”
He walked out without looking back.
However, just as he walked out of the door, his phone rang behind him.
