Chapter 957: Chapter 955: I Promise You, I Will Not Break My Word
Entering Wen Yunuo’s office, Wen Xin saw Wen Yunuo sitting in the office chair, pale to the point of being frightening.
Wen Xin walked to Wen Yunuo’s side, where he still had his eyes tightly shut, veins bulging on his forehead as if he was enduring something, appearing to be in great pain.
Wen Xin reached out and placed a finger on Wen Yunuo’s wrist. Seeing the beads of sweat forming on Wen Yunuo’s forehead, she let out a soft sigh.
“I didn’t expect you to be so resilient. Xiao Mi fell ill last night, too—writhing in pain until she fainted. And here you are, managing to sit so composedly; that’s quite tough of you!”
Wen Xin took out a silver needle from her pocket and pricked Wen Yunuo’s wrist in the hope of alleviating the pain throughout his body. Only if Wen Yunuo regained his composure could she negotiate properly with him.
After a quarter of an hour, Wen Yunuo felt his body ease a great deal, and the muscles that had been tensed up from pain began to relax.
About five minutes later, the patiently waiting Wen Xin heard Wen Yunuo let out a long breath, which sounded very relaxed.
Seeing that Wen Yunuo had steadied his physical sensations, Wen Xin spoke indifferently, “The Old Fox truly is ruthless with you. To control you, he resorts to such methods. Doesn’t he want to give you the antidote ahead of time?”
“It’s not time yet. The Old Fox has been displeased with what I’ve done lately, so he intentionally delayed the antidote by two weeks to teach me a lesson!”
While speaking with Wen Xin, Wen Yunuo made an effort to straighten his clothes to appear less disheveled than before.
Observing his actions, Wen Xin’s eyebrows raised slightly before she couldn’t help but tease, “At a time like this, why care so much about appearance? I can give you the antidote that the Old Fox won’t.”
“What are your conditions?”
Wen Yunuo expressed no disbelief in what Wen Xin had said, but he wanted to know exactly what she was after. Out of so many people in the Wen family, why was she choosing to collaborate with only him?
“Conditions? My condition is that I want to go to Independent State. There will be a fierce battle between me and the Old Fox; it’s not just about blowing up the Wen family this time. I intend to destroy the Kunshan Base and take the laboratory at Independent State into my own hands.”
As she spoke, Wen Xin took a seat opposite Wen Yunuo, her eyes fixed on him with unwavering determination.
“I remember the promises I made to you, and I won’t go back on my word. I hope you can stay resolute in your decision to choose me too. Working with me is your only chance. Don’t have any illusions that the Old Fox will offer you more.”
After Wen Xin finished speaking, Wen Yunuo gave a cold laugh, then waved his hand nonchalantly at her.
“I, of course, remember my promise to you. I have already betrayed the Old Fox, there’s no turning back now. Rest assured, I will remain steadfast in my choice before the Old Fox has a chance to eliminate me.”
At this point, Wen Yunuo suddenly laughed. He looked at Wen Xin and raised his eyebrows in a carefree manner.
“I’m someone who always keeps his word and is ambitious. I know besides you, I have no other option. I don’t like making wedding dresses for others; I just want power in the palm of my hand.”
Understanding Wen Yunuo’s thoughts, Wen Xin didn’t waste any time, immediately sharing her decision with him. Wen Yunuo’s reaction to her decision didn’t come as a surprise.
Returning during the Elders Guild meeting was the best choice. If they returned any later, it might be too late for anyone to turn the tide.
“Rest assured, I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly. I…”
When Wen Yunuo spoke, his brows furrowed unconsciously, the pain on his body resurfaced, becoming unbearably intense.
Seeing Wen Yunuo in distress, Wen Xin took out the antidote she had brought from the research institute from her pocket.
“Since we have already reached an agreement, it’s time for me to fulfill my promise. This antidote is still experimental, I just don’t know if you are afraid of it.”
At that moment, Wen Xin said this in a somewhat deliberate tone, as if she was testing his trust or intentionally joking. Regardless, she kept watching Wen Yunuo’s expression after she said it.
After hearing Wen Xin’s words, Wen Yunuo smiled faintly, “I’m not even afraid of death; what else is there to be scared of? The worst that can happen is just a dead end. What is there to worry about?”
Seeing Wen Yunuo’s carefree attitude, Wen Xin actually began to admire him; his personality truly did share some similarities with hers.
She suddenly felt a sense of mutual understanding.
Wen Xin used a special syringe to draw two doses from a mini vial.
Watching Wen Xin’s motions, Wen Yunuo’s brows remained tightly knit. He trusted her in principle but didn’t quite believe in Wen Xin’s abilities.
“That… if it doesn’t go well, maybe I should do it myself!”
Enduring the pain in his body, Wen Yunuo stood up, attempting to take the syringe from Wen Xin’s hands, but she skillfully dodged away.
“Let me do it. I can handle this much!”
Truth be told, Wen Xin wasn’t insistent on doing this task, but considering she would have to administer an injection to Xiao Mi later, she treated Wen Yunuo as an opportunity to practice ahead of time.
As Wen Xin slowly injected the medicine, Wen Yunuo felt a soothing sensation throughout his body, a feeling all too familiar—it was the sensation of the antidote entering his system.
When all the fluid had entered Wen Yunuo’s body, he let out a long sigh, the refreshing feeling throughout his body causing him to involuntarily twitch.
Because the virus in his body was being eradicated, Wen Yunuo comfortably jerked, startling Wen Xin who quickly moved to his side to check on him.
Just as Wen Xin’s hand was about to touch Wen Yunuo, he avoided her hand and shook his head at her.
“This antidote is absolutely fine; the only question is whether it can completely eliminate the toxins in the body. My twitching was purely because it felt too comfortable. I’m well acquainted with this sensation!”
Looking at Wen Xin, Wen Yunuo’s eyes conveyed a sense of gratitude. He had never expected to encounter a sister like Wen Xin, and it was even more surprising that she would choose to work with him.
Wen Yunnuo was not a sentimental person, but in front of Wen Xin’s sincere honesty, he actually felt moved.
Throughout his life, he had many brothers, but there were very few who truly treated him as family.
Although he was unsure whether Wen Xin was sincere or using him, the fact that she had done this much was already more than satisfying to him…
