744 Chapter 782: the reason
Huo Xiaolong was very sad. He had never thought that he would one day be able to watch the little head of the Chinese family eat instant noodles in a small room that was more than ten square meters… … ! Three times!
It was already four o’clock in the morning, why wasn’t he back yet?
Xiaolong put down the instant noodles box that he could not eat anymore. With bloodshot eyes, he continued to persevere for another two hours…
“This is truly a terrible job,”Huo Xiaolong roared in his heart!
In his heart, he was more supportive of his big brother’s opinion. That guy named Yang Rui was a wolf with wild ambitions. He had made use of the old man’s desire to obtain the results of high-level genetic technology to create such a ridiculous story! Yet, the old man actually believed this story that could be considered as magic!
Originally, his old man, as a powerful figure who was able to conquer such a large territory in America, naturally had top-notch scheming and methods. He should not have been so easily fooled.
However, the old man was extremely obsessed with genetic modification!
All these years… … Those organizations that tricked him into partic.i.p.ating in the election, the recommendations of so-called insiders, as well as the support of politicians, all sorts of people used bait that could give him a chance to bid to seduce the old man. Every time, the old man would take the bait:. … For as long as he could remember, he could not even count how much money the old man had been tricked into…
Although he was speechless, Xiaolong did not blame his father for being ridiculous, because he knew the reason why his father was so devilish… …
Many people thought that the old man was trying to extend his life. In fact, they all knew that the old man was doing it for his mother, who had been frozen for more than thirty years…
His mother had cancer. When the most advanced anti-cancer drugs started to fail, his father finally chose to freeze her.
Freezing the human body was the biggest hoax in the medical world that had been popular two centuries ago. The story of this hoax was very beautiful. The problem that could not be solved by modern medicine would be solved sooner or later. Pressing the pause b.u.t.ton to freeze the body and waiting for decades or hundreds of years to come, when technology could solve the problems, they could unseal it and enjoy life again.
It sounded logical, right?
But there was always a difference between reality and ideals. First of all, after hundreds of years, humans still had not overcome cancer, and then… This so-called ice-sealing method only existed in theory, because up until now, none of the rich who had been unsealed had survived.
The longer the ice was sealed, the lower the chances of survival after thawing.
Therefore, father had been wanting to join the genetic experiment in America for decades, wanting to save his mother while he was still alive. This was not a blind search for a doctor, but his father found out through channels that in that circle… Someone had once solved the problem of cancer through modification…
Thus, this straw became his father’s last hope. All these years, his father had used every means possible to enter that circle, not sparing a huge sum of money…
But in the end, he was played over and over again…
Xiaolong understood his father very well, because when they were young, they both knew that his father loved his mother very much. In his eyes, the old couple was the most loving couple in the world. After all, there were not many people in this era who could have five children out of love…
However, understanding did not mean that he was willing to let others use his father’s weakness to continue hurting him. If the bidding for the gene experiment was an almost impossible matter, it was at least a straw. Those people used this to tempt his father. At the very least, they still had something. Yang Rui’s was simply Bullsh * T…
However, his father actually believed it…
On one hand, they felt sorry for their father’s demonic barrier. On the other hand, Xiaolong was like their big brother, gnashing his teeth in hatred towards Yang Rui that kid!
However, the five of them were filial sons. They did not dare to disobey their father. Even though their father was bewitched by this kind of demon, they did not dare to kill that guy in the dark.
Fortunately, their father did not lose his mind too much. He even knew to ask them to verify this thing and secretly intercept the information of this player called an shunw.a.n.g…
At the thought of this, he sighed slightly and looked at the glowing virtual cabin. His gaze became more and more helpless. This kind of thing would have been more efficient if he had called for a professional subordinate, but his father had asked him to come personally, furthermore, he strictly forbade him to reveal this matter. Otherwise, he would not be in such a sorry state.
In fact, he really wanted to go back and tell his father right now that this was fake. He had seen it with his own eyes. There was no magical storyline where a player disappeared into the virtual cabin.
But in the end, he still chose to persevere…
The old man had asked him to come in person. He said that he suspected Yang Rui, but he never wanted others to know about this. Didn’t he also want Yang Rui’s words to be true?
At the thought of this, Xiaolong smiled bitterly. He realized that he seemed to have been led astray. He was actually like his father. Deep in his heart, there was actually a trace of desire… …
Coo Coo…
The sound of his stomach drumming sounded again. Xiaolong frowned and held his stomach. He then looked at the instant noodle box next to him. He really could not eat that thing anymore. Even if there was a little boss, he could not eat that thing…
After hesitating for a long time, he finally picked up the phone and ordered a takeaway.
He was not the owner, so he could not use the phone number to get the security guard to open the door. However, he could personally go to the door to get the takeaway. Anyway, the security guard must have changed shifts at this time, so it was impossible for him to recognize that he was a visitor during the day…
About ten minutes later, the phone rang and delivery arrived at the gate of the community.
He stood up, looked at the virtual pod, decided to hurry back… . .
———- —
“F * ck… . . I actually fell asleep again?”In the small dragon left the game cabin less than half a minute, the game cabin a flash of light, an Shunw.a.n.g appeared in the game cabin.
“F * CK, seven o’clock? ?”An Shunw.a.n.g looked at the time, scared directly jumped out of the game room, thought: what the game, too unscientific, a word of disagreement to let people sleep in the game? How could a workaholic like him play this game?
Moreover… “…”. “Does this mean that I haven’t slept in two days?”?
“But why am I still not sleepy?”. “Could it be…”? “Did I really fall asleep in the game?”?
An Shunw.a.n.g was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt that it was possible. Moreover, he felt that this game was most likely made up of point cards. Who the h.e.l.l came up with this F * cking trick card?
An Shunw.a.n.g grumbled as he hurriedly got up and ran into the toilet. After hurriedly washing up, he quickly put on his suit and walked out.
The first subway was at 7:20 am. If he missed this train, he would be very likely to be late. After all, it was Monday, and there were more people going to work than usual.
He had already insisted on not being late for half a year. It was going to be the company’s quarterly evaluation soon. He had a chance to get the full attendance award. If he was lucky, he might even get an excellent employee award, when that time came, no matter how mean that Indian Guy was, he couldn’t keep suppressing himself to continue working as a low-level engineer for a year, right?
Ding…
Just as he was about to open the elevator door, an Shunw.a.n.g was about to enter when he suddenly saw a person walking out with takeout.
Someone was ordering takeout at this time?
An Shunw.a.n.g was stunned and looked over curiously.
Eh?
This person… … . . Why does it feel… … ? … a little familiar?
