Chapter 361 - To make the right decision (2/2)
They ate in silence for a few minutes. When Phantom noticed the urn that was placed in the living room, he asked, "Is that?"
"Yeah… That's my wife's home now," said Han Ye. There was a tint of sadness in his voice when he said "wife". He glanced at Phantom and asked, "Is it making you uncomfortable? I can-"
Phantom shook his head as he interrupted Han Ye, "No. I'm not bothered by it…"
He never believed in ghost anyway, so the presence of the urn did not bother him. After a while, he asked Han Ye, "I know about the thing that happened with at the Board of Directors' meeting… How?"
"You were listening?"
"It's too easy for me to hack you… Considering that you're using the antivirus that I created under a pseudonym…"
Han Ye frowned and noted to himself to change the system.
As if he heard Han Ye's thoughts, Phantom said, "No matter what you used, it would be impossible for you to stop me from hacking in. Don't worry, I'm not interested in stealing your information. I've also written some new codes into the system to prevent others from hacking in."
"Why don't you just come and work for us?" asked Han Ye.
"I'm working for Mr. Shenlong now… and I'm too lazy to work in a strict environment."
"Well, I'll discuss with President Du. Maybe we can come up with something for you..."
Phantom sighed, "I doubt he likes me very much now."
Han Ye smiled as he said, "He had his suspicions but you're still alive here… I wouldn't worry too much about it… Despite his coldness, he's an understanding man. If not, Ms. Zhen won't even be with him."
After another short moment of silence, Phantom suddenly asked, "How did you do it?"
"What?"
Phantom glanced at the urn before he said, "To make the right decision."
Han Ye placed his empty bowl down before saying, "I'm 34 years old."
"What?"
"When I chose to protect another man's baby instead of saving my wife, I was already 34 years old. Well, I still am 34. Besides, I have the time to think. When you were forced to make the decision, you were 16 or 17 years old. You had just a short amount of time to decide on whether to save Ms. Zhen or not, and you had to decide whether to save a stranger or use the money to save a member of your family."
Phantom pointed out, "So were you!"
Han Ye chuckled sadly as he admitted, "My wife has been brain dead for 10 years… There's no chance of her ever waking up… If there is... I don't know if I'll make the same choice."
Phantom looked at him for a second before he looked down at his legs.
As he glanced at Phantom, Han Ye said, "When you are watching from the side… When you are not affected... It's easy to make the decision… But when you are the decision maker, it's no longer an easy decision to make… and this is not something that most people can understand."
He got up and patted Phantom on the shoulder before saying, "Don't worry too much. Ms. Zhen is an understanding woman. She may be upset now but I'm sure that she'll forgive you sooner or later…"
After he cleaned up the table, he said, "Go and shower now. I'm a little tired, so I'll be sleeping first. There's a phone in the bathroom. If you need me, just give me a call. It's hashtag 001."
When Phantom looked at him oddly, he explained, "President Du likes to call me at the weirdest hour."
With that said, he went to the kitchen while Phantom went into the bedroom to prepare for his shower.
