491 I Can Save You (1/2)
They had found out what was hidden in the village. Now, the question was… where was Jennifer, who should come to intercept the thing? Temporarily, there was no answer to this question. As long as the beardy was unwilling to say anything, once this dragged on, the woman who was wily as fox might realize something and swiftly retreat from this place. If that happened, it would be hard to trace her down again.
”We wait for the man who went to check the areas with missing signals to return. When he's back, we should have more information.” Han Chu was not that worried and spoke evenly. After saying that, he even turned to glance at Ye Shuang, who was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed to rest. After giving it some thought, he bent over and reached out to grab the girl's wrist.
”Brother Han?” Ye Shuang was jolted by the sudden physical contact. She opened her eyes blurry in confusion. The fingers that fell on her wrist were slightly coldly. That was probably because the man lacked exercise, and his body was slightly frail. However, this was normal. After all, the man used his brain more than his brawn. Even if he used to be a good fighter, that was a long time ago. Ever since Ye Shuang met him, she had never seen him train his body.
”There is not enough equipment, so we'll have to settle with a simple test.” Han Chu lowered his eyelids and kept his fingers on Ye Shuang's pulse. Then he pulled his hand away with a frown. ”Your pulse is getting more and more erratic. Can't you feel it yourself?”
”I do feel it.” Ye Shuang sighed and sat up while scratching her hair. ”But there's nothing I can do about it. There is no time for me to rest, and even if there was time, I am not sure this is a problem that can be solved with time, so…”
Han Chu crossed his arms and stood up. He looked down on her and said with determination, ”That's why I told you to try and get pregnant.”
Then a voice came out from behind him. ”Who is trying to get pregnant?”
Han Chu and Brother Shuang simultaneously turned around.
”What are you guys talking about?” Anthony rubbed his hands as he walked out from behind Han Chu. He looked at Ye Shuang with confusion. ”I've asked everything I could. Jennifer said that she would contact with him after he got the information. Before that, no one knows where she is… By the way, did I hear you guys talking about someone getting pregnant earlier?”
Han Chu felt like a mess of code was in his mind. After a while, he slowly returned to normal and let out a long sigh. ”No one is getting pregnant.”
”Oh…” Anthony did not continue this conversation. He walked to the other end of the table and lazily dropped his baby face onto the table. His cheek was pressed onto the surface, and his eyelids fluttered weakly. ”I have not rested for thirty hours already. I'm so tired… When the man checking the signal areas returns, wake me.”
Han Chu nodded and tossed a jacket over with annoyance. After Anthony put the jacket on, Han Chu sat back down and turned Anthony's laptop to face himself to take over his friend's surveillance job. Ye Shuang also wished to get back to sleep, but Han Chu called after her.
”Come over here,” Han Chu said without lifting his eyes off the computer. He split out half the screen to manage a social app.
Ye Shuang sighed wordlessly and walked over with a raised brow. ”What is it?”
Han Chu's fingers moved agilely as he operated the social app and a few more windows at the same time. While doing that, he turned to Ye Shuang and ordered with a level tone, ”In five hours, a car will reach the corn field about two kilometers to the west of the village. Go and wait there, and get into the car… I've already arranged the hospital for you. It's the doctor who helped you inspected your blood sample. He will help keep this a secret.”
Ye Shuang was still fighting her body cells, but once she heard that, she was stumped. ”You plan to have me removed from this case?”
