Chapter 792: I can only do so much
“So, we need to investigate whether this woman is dead or not. If not, then this treasure shall be ours, and that will help us to control the world better, wouldn’t it?” Oldman Mr. Rothschild laughed out greedily.
How could the possibility of someone coming back from the dead not make the world go crazy?
For someone with such a powerful piece of medical technology, what was the difference between them and a Savior?
By then, the Capital Society will be able to dissolve all negative public opinion, and stand out in a dignified manner as a God. Their miracle-like ability to resurrect the dead would create a large number of followers, and they would become the world’s largest religious organization!
Just thinking of it made their blood surge inside.
“I agree to trying to find this woman!”
“Me too. We’ve already suspected the Mandala Lab for their advanced medical practices, and if this woman’s really still alive, then it proves that such an advancement, which doesn’t belong to this era, has already arrived; it’s just not in our own hands. I think this matter must be taken seriously, and it is a very urgent matter!”
“That’s right, we will cooperate together to find this woman.”
Oldman Rothschild smiled.
“Then, use all the resources of your agents deployed in Huaxia. Activate their status to look for this woman all together.”
The five lords nodded, agreeing to do so.
That was when the Rockefeller Consortium family head laughed, “I don’t agree to activating the agents. If this woman is still alive, she must be hiding deeper, which means someone must be hiding her. Whether it is the work of the Huaxia government or not, that’s something we don’t know yet. But your agents aren’t Asian, and to approach someone who’s got a sensitive identity and is being protected, that is simply asking for death. My opinion is to find an Asian who can do the job, and even if he was found, he won’t attract too much attention.”
“This is a very good idea, Mr. Rockefeller, please continue.”
Rockefeller smiled. “Her previous identity can be used by us. Our major music companies have branches in Huaxia and have signed popular artists. They must have known this Nicole, because, let’s not forget, she was a popular diva. It would be natural for peers to find her, and they will not be suspected at all.”
Oldman Rothschild clapped his hands. “This is a good idea! What do you all think?”
“I agree with Mr. Rockefeller’s approach.”
“I agree!”
“Good, then use the artists of the entertainment company under your names to look for this Nicole. We don’t need to see her in person, but just be sure her phone is connected or to make sure she is alive. Then we will plan the next move to capture her.”
“Perfect!”
– Shangcheng –
Xu Cheng was offered a unit across from their apartment, separated by a corridor and not far from the building elevator.
During the day, Xu Cheng would be in charge of accompanying the three women in their guest rooms throughout the day.
Ran Jing exercised every day in the little gym Xu Cheng used to use, Shen Yao would do yoga every day and all kinds of sculpting exercises, while Lin Chuxue’s activities were relatively simple. Aside from eating and sleeping, she did nothing but take out her phone to look through photos, which were either Xu Cheng’s photos or pictures of them together.
Xu Cheng was a little worried about her looking at her state, and that she sometimes had very little appetite.
Xu Cheng took the liberty of ordering a pizza that she liked and had it delivered by Lin Dong himself.
After entering the room, Lin Dong saw Xu Cheng sitting on the sofa and nodded silently at him.
Then he carried the pizza, placed it in front of Lin Chuxue’s table, and said, “Sister Chuxue, have some.”
Since he personally delivered it, it was not good for Lin Chuxue to reject the offer, so she tore off a piece of pizza and chewed a little.
But then, she fixed her two eyes on the pizza and asked, “This is my favorite flavor and brand, how did you know I like this pizza?”
Lin Dong hurriedly explained, “Master told me before, remember? He used to go out and I would be responsible for taking care of you while you were studying abroad. I remember everything he tells me.”
Lin Chuxue was still puzzled. “But who told you that I didn’t have a good appetite these days and didn’t eat anything?”
That was when Xu Cheng said, “I did. In addition to being responsible for your safety, I also have to supervise your daily activities. I didn’t know how to make you have some appetite so I ask the superiors, and I guess they sent Mr. Lin over.”
This explanation dispelled Lin Chuxue’s doubts and she nodded.
After a long time, she suddenly asked Lin Dong out of nowhere, “Can I go see him? Maybe I can wake him up.”
Lin Dong sighed and shook his head, “Sister Lin, my people have been keeping an eye on those guys. They have been looking for you, there is no way for you to leave the country now. If you fall in danger again, the Master will wake up and kill me.”
He glanced at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng sat there with his head bowed.
Lin Chuxue sighed and ran into the room. She then picked up a voice recorder in her hand and handed it to Lin Dong as she said, “This is what I recorded these days to tell your master, bring it to him and play it beside his ears. I hope it can be of some use; this is all I can do now.”
Xu Cheng listened as he sighed in his heart, Silly girl.
He felt his heart ache and but moved at the same time.
After Lin Dong took the recorder, he looked at his Master on the side and nodded. “Okay, I will go to the M Nation tomorrow. You should eat more, you’ve gotten very slim. If Master wakes up and sees you like this, he will blame himself for not being able to take care of you.”
Lin Chuxue nodded. “Don’t wait for tomorrow, you should go today.”
Lin Dong let out a bitter smile. “Okay, I’ll go today. Finish this pizza. I’ll watch you finish it on behalf of Master, then I’ll go and play the recording.”
Lin Chuxue had a smile on her face and once again picked up another piece of pizza and said, “He’s the only one who knows I like this pizza, I’m sure I’ll finish it.”
She indeed finished it and Xu Cheng handed a glass of water to her that he had already prepared.
“Thanks.” After Lin Chuxue drank it down, she looked at Lin Dong and said, “Hurry up and go.”
Lin Dong nodded, got up, and walked out of the guest room, Xu Cheng went over to see him off.
In the elevator, Lin Dong took out the recorder and said jokingly, “Sister Lin asked me to give it to you.”
Xu Cheng took the recorder after slapping him on the back of his head.
Lin Dong sighed. “What I fear the most every day is to receive a phone call from Sister Lin. I’m afraid of her unreasonable requests, afraid of her exposing my lies. Master, I’m just a child, both of you are too smart and I can’t keep up.”
Xu Cheng patted his shoulder. “You were very good just now. She asked you about the pizza and you were quick to respond to the scene, keep it up.”
Lin Dong didn’t know what to say.
After Xu Cheng sent him away, he went to his own unit by himself, took out the recorder, and played it.
