Chapter 955: Chapter 953: Chips Must Be Held in One’s Own Hands
He felt that he was really confused, not only allowing Ou Shen Zhi to steal Wen Xin’s blueprints but also permitting him to conduct research on this aircraft….
Now, looking at the situation, Ou Shen Zhi was very likely to be implicated in this aircraft project….
“It’s such a sin! It’s all because I was so foolish to think this was a good opportunity…. Oh, how could something stolen ever become one’s own? This is just outrageous….”
“Sir…. The Second Young Master called and said he has something very important to discuss with you….”
The housekeeper walked into the Orchid Chamber and saw Old Mr. Ou sitting despondently on the sofa. He had never seen Old Mr. Ou like this before and quickly walked over to him, looking at him with concern.
“Sir, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look like this? Did something happen?”
Housekeeper Ou looked worriedly at Old Mr. Ou, unsure if Old Mr. Ou was feeling unwell somewhere, momentarily at a loss.
Old Mr. Ou shook his head at the housekeeper and, recalling what the housekeeper had said upon entering, he looked at him, “What did you say when you came in just now? Who did you say called?”
“Sir, it was the Second Young Master who called, saying he has something important he wants to discuss with you. Please give him a call back!”
As he spoke, Housekeeper Ou placed the mobile phone in front of Old Mr. Ou, but Old Mr. Ou did not take the phone handed to him; instead, he just looked at the housekeeper, sighing helplessly.
“You call him back for me and tell him that I can’t help him with his issue. I had advised him earlier not to obsess over this aircraft project, but he wouldn’t listen. At this point, there’s nothing I can do!”
Old Mr. Ou sighed helplessly. He still remembered how Ou Shen Zhi looked when he left Beijing for Independent State, wanting to persuade him to abandon the project, but at that time he was so blinded by obsession, he wouldn’t listen to any advice!
Seeing Old Mr. Ou in such a predicament, the housekeeper also recalled the hurtful words that Ou Shen Zhi had uttered when he left, which, although meant well by the old master, just fell on deaf ears.
“Sir, I will call the Second Young Master and convey your thoughts exactly to him!”
After saying this, the housekeeper took the phone and left the Orchid Chamber, leaving Old Mr. Ou sitting alone in the room, looking somewhat helpless and forlorn.
Wen Xin entered Sun Ning’s laboratory, where Sun Ning was deeply engrossed in an experiment and didn’t notice Wen Xin walking in.
Wen Xin stood by the door, watching Sun Ning’s back, and after a while, she finally spoke slowly, “How is the research on the antidote going? Xiao Mi can’t wait any longer!”
Startled by Wen Xin’s voice, Sun Ning jumped up from his chair, turning around in surprise to look at her.
“Little princess, how did you get in here?”
Sun Ning patted his chest with one hand, relieved that his research today wasn’t anything dangerous, otherwise his lab could have become a virus room.
Wen Xin looked disdainfully at Sun Ning; she did not explain how she had entered and walked over to a chair, carelessly pulling it out with her foot and sitting down.
“How I got in isn’t important. What is important is that Xiao Mi’s condition isn’t good. She had an episode yesterday, and it looked very serious. If you have already developed the medicine, then give me two doses—one for Xiao Mi and another for Wen Yunuo.”
Providing Xiao Mi with an antidote didn’t surprise Sun Ning, but giving one to Wen Yunuo was completely beyond his understanding.
“Are you sure you want to give Wen Yunuo the antidote? Aren’t you afraid that once he gets it, he’ll be completely out of your control…”
Sun Ning knew that Wen Xin was discussing cooperation with Wen Yunuo. If he handed over the antidote now, he was afraid that Wen Yunuo would become uncontrollable, and all their dealings would be wasted.
In response to Sun Ning’s doubts, Wen Xin simply smiled and said firmly, “No, if he were planning to betray me, he wouldn’t agree to cooperate with me.”
“Also, the pain when this virus strikes is too much to bear, even Xiao Mi couldn’t withstand it. Even if Wen Yunuo can endure it, it’s difficult for him not to waver. So, I still think… using the antidote to secure Wen Yunuo’s cooperation is best. In eight days, I plan to return to Independent State, and I need him to provide me with some information.”
Wen Xin had her own plans for offering the antidote, so she was not at all worried that Wen Yunuo would betray her after receiving it.
Because she had leverage, she believed that Wen Yunuo understood that cooperating with her was much simpler than cooperating with the Old Fox. After all, with her, he had no competitors, but it was different with the Old Fox; he would never be the first choice there.
Seeing Wen Xin’s determined expression, Sun Ning suddenly understood the source of Wen Xin’s confidence…
“The antidote isn’t a finished product yet, but we already have a prototype. Unless something unexpected happens, the final product should be the same as this prototype. I’ll go and get it for you now.”
Having said that, Sun Ning went into one of the small rooms inside the laboratory. He took out two small boxes and two special syringes and placed them on the table next to Wen Xin.
“This stuff is in very small amounts, so it can only be used with this special syringe, but it should be no trouble for you to operate.”
With a faint glance at the items on the table, Wen Xin suddenly looked up at Sun Ning, locking eyes with him. Sun Ning, startled, couldn’t help but turn his head to avoid Wen Xin’s gaze.
“Little princess, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”
Avoiding Wen Xin’s gaze, Sun Ning’s tone was somewhat unnatural as he asked why she was looking at him in such a way.
Wen Xin watched Sun Ning’s movements, smiled faintly, then tapped her finger on the table, softening her tone as she spoke quietly.
“Do you perhaps know the secret of my blood?”
After Wen Xin posed her question, Sun Ning turned his head, a look of shock on his face, seemingly completely unprepared for such a question from her.
“You… you actually know?”
Hearing Sun Ning’s words, Wen Xin looked at him expressionlessly, emitting a vibe that clearly suggested she knew all along.
Sun Ning was completely in shock at this point, no longer having time to observe Wen Xin’s expression. He pulled over a chair nearby, sat across from Wen Xin, his eyes filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
“Little princess, you actually know the secret in your blood. Then why… why didn’t you say so from the beginning? You were so worried when you were first poisoned. If you knew the secret of your blood, you shouldn’t have had to worry!”
Sun Ning thought back to when Wen Xin was taken away by Luo Qiete and later rescued, she was very worried about her physical condition, which didn’t seem like someone who knew about her own blood condition.
