Chapter 174: Chapter 174: The Bun and Dagger Competing for Attention
Xu Pengfei stared blankly at Wanning, who looked exhausted.
He wanted to speak several tis, but felt it would be too hurtful for Wanning, unable to find the words.
"I just called the boss."
Halfway through Xu Pengfei’s words, Li Wanning thought sothing had happened at the company; otherwise, why would Xu Pengfei be like this?
"The boss said..."
"What did the boss say?"
Xu Pengfei shook his head, "Wanning, my mind is really ssed up right now. I don’t know how to tell you. I’m really afraid you can’t take it."
"Just say it directly, you’re killing
with suspense."
Sothing had happened at ho, and if the company had issues because Xu Pengfei followed her back, Li Wanning really wouldn’t know what to do.
Does heaven still think it hasn’t tortured her family enough?
Being urged by Li Wanning like this, Xu Pengfei, with an already chaotic mind, blurted out what the boss had just said in a burst of emotion.
"The company developed a special leukemia drug when we were in Jing City. The boss says it has a cure rate of up to eighty percent, but due to so processes, it’s not on the market yet."
"Plus, for so special reasons, only the boss knows about it in the company."
Wanning was completely stunned, her mind buzzing, feeling like the world was spinning.
Compared to her brother’s death, Wanning found it even harder to accept this fact.
Unable to grasp it for a mont, Wanning rolled her eyes and fainted.
Fortunately, Xu Pengfei caught Wanning in ti; otherwise, if she fell to the ground, how could Li Peng and Lu Lanfen, who just lost their son, survive?
"Uncle! Auntie!"
"Li Wanning fainted."
Hearing Xu Pengfei’s shout, Li Peng and Lu Lanfen hurriedly ran over.
Li Peng stumbled and fell and crawled over.
In Li Wanning’s bedroom, after listening to Xu Pengfei explain the whole situation, Li Peng and Lu Lanfen trembled all over.
Finally, Li Peng sighed, "This is fate."
"When King Yama wants you to die at three in the morning, you won’t live until five."
Li Wanning fainted for over an hour before slowly waking up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, seeing her mother by her bedside, tears instantly flowed from Wanning’s eyes, her tone filled with guilt and sorrow.
"Mom..."
"It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault."
"Why am I so strong-willed? If I had just ntioned it, my brother might have already recovered."
Lu Lanfen held her daughter’s hand, covered her mouth with the other, shook her head, and sighed:
"You’ve done enough, this is just your brother’s fate."
"Don’t bla yourself. Without your support, how could your brother have held on until this year?"
"The hard-earned money from your hard work, you didn’t even buy yourself a single piece of expensive clothing, spending it all on your brother’s dical bills."
"Enough, enough, you’ve done more than enough."
"From childhood till now, it was always you letting your brother have his way."
The next morning, Li Wanning boarded the bus, not daring to look back.
Afraid that if she looked back, she would cry and worry her parents.
After Wanning and Xu Pengfei left, Lu Lanfen and Li Peng closed the door and took so paper to Wenbo’s grave.
"Wenbo, you know better than Mom and Dad how good your sister was to you."
"This ti, don’t bla your sister; she didn’t know the life-saving dicine was right in front of us."
"Your sister set out for the company today. You have to bless her with a safe journey and successful work, okay?"
Lu Lanfen laughed through her tears and said:
"Your sister always protected you before, now it’s ti for you to protect her."
On the high-speed train, Li Wanning stared blankly at the scenery retreating rapidly outside the window.
Passing through a tunnel, she suddenly turned to Xu Pengfei sitting next to her.
"If... I an, if we were to get married and have a second child, could the second child take my last na?"
Xu Pengfei held Wanning’s hand and nodded sincerely:
"Of course! Even the first child could."
————————
Returning to normalcy in their work, Xu Pengfei and Li Wanning gradually regained their vigor, though Wanning sotis dazed off during quiet monts.
The large osmanthus tree at the park canteen entrance beca the base for Bun and Dagger.
Every ti Dagger was taken for training, Bun would always co punctually to watch.
When Dagger finished its exhausting training and enjoyed the trainer’s massage, Bun would go up and sotis receive the sa treatnt.
In sumr, the weather is always unpredictable in the landlocked Huo County.
It could be clear skies in the morning and torrential rain by afternoon.
In the ard police hall, Bun and Dagger crowded behind Candy.
Though the food in Candy’s hand was tempting, neither Bun nor Dagger would snatch it directly from her hand.
Even so, Dagger’s keeper kept his eyes on them.
Candy climbed onto the sofa, found a comfortable spot to sit, and looked at the two little ones wagging their tails earnestly.
Candy divided the food in her hand into three parts.
First, Candy split it evenly into two parts.
"This is for Guoguo."
Then she divided one of those parts again into two smaller parts.
Looking at the one big piece and one small piece, Candy furrowed her brows in frustration.
Glancing at the two little ones, Candy closed her eyes and dropped the food on the ground.
Whoever got the big piece first would get it.
"This is for you guys."
The keeper watching from a distance showed a surprised look when Dagger only got one piece and the other was snatched by Bun.
Is this the power of food?
Otherwise, with Bun’s size, how could it run so fast?
Such a small piece of food, both Bun and Dagger swallowed in one bite, probably without tasting anything.
Seeing Candy still had so, the cat and dog sat in front of Candy again, wagging their tails.
Dagger tilted its head at Candy, using the legendary head tilt trick.
As more AI core code was written, Mo Jingchun, feeling the office building’s security was insufficient, moved his computer to the lab directly.
This way, if soone tried to steal the computer, they’d first have to get past the ard police.
And to reach the top floor, they’d have to take the elevator.
Even if there was a hacker, they’d first have to breach Mo Jingchun’s firewall.
But triggering the firewall would automatically set off alarms in the entire lab building, locking onto the intruder with surveillance.
To be completely foolproof, if the computer was stolen,
Mo Jingchun backed up the data daily into a storage device hidden within the wall as he wrote code.
Coming down from the top floor by elevator, Mo Jingchun habitually walked into the ard police hall to check if Candy was there.
At this hour, Candy was likely waiting for him to finish work and eat dinner here.
Sure enough, Candy was lounging on the sofa, swinging its little legs.
"Guoguo, it’s ti for dinner."
