C126 Chapter 126
Just as Faang Xuan was about to leave, his expression suddenly changed. The small ball in his clothes rang. This Great God Dr. Lee really knew how to pick a time. He didn't call earlier or later, but this time, he sent a signal.
Faang Xuan was in a bit of a dilemma. Should he go and save X or go and fetch Dr. Lee?
"Damn it, X, you have to hold on for me. After I pick up the PhD, I will come and save you."
After a short hesitation, Faang Xuan decided to save the PhD first. Comparing a company to an individual, although he was not a patriot, he knew what was more important.
He went out and stopped a taxi. This time, Faang Xuan did not dodge. Instead, he approached where the doctor's signal came from.
He lit a cigarette in the taxi and calmly took a breath. In the faint smoke, his expression became a little complicated.
The scene of the battle with the polar bear earlier was still vivid in his mind. Faang Xuan was not stupid. He did not think about this before, but once he thought about it, he could think more clearly than anyone else.
The so-called blessing of the heavens, the so-called extraordinary luck, was simply a joke.
Rebirth, including the changes in his body from time to time, were just the results of biochemical research. To put it bluntly, he was no different from the polar bear. They were both monsters.
No, perhaps he was even inferior to that polar bear. At the very least, the polar bear knew the truth, while he was like a fool who didn't know anything and kept everything in the dark.
"Chenxi, is everything really under your control? But why? You changed me. What can you get? What can I, Faang Xuan, give you? "
Faang Xuan was lost in thought. At this moment, the car suddenly stopped.
"Sir, we can't make it to the front."
The driver turned around, his eyes full of doubt. Why did this well-dressed Asian come to this slum in the middle of the night that even dogs did not want to go?
"Is it here? Is he hiding here?" Faang Xuan muttered in Huaxia language. He paid for the car and sent the taxi away. He carefully observed his surroundings.
In front of him was a slum that could only be seen in movies. There were low sheds everywhere, and dirty, stinky water flowed beside the road. A dark trail extended all the way to the depths of the shed, and there was no end to it.
The signal on the phone was still flashing, and it was getting more and more intense. Obviously, this place was very close to the place where the signal was sent out, and that God level scientist Dr. Lee should be inside.
He looked around and found that there was no one following him. Faang Xuan stepped onto the trail.
Trash could be seen everywhere on both sides of the small path, even at night. Groups of green-headed flies were buzzing, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell. In some dark corners, they could even see homeless people in ragged clothes. Their eyes were lifeless, even though they saw Faang Xuan, who obviously did not belong here, passing by. They also casually glanced at him before continuing their sleep.
To them, the greatest gift of life was to have something to fill their stomachs when they woke up. Other than that, everything else seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Faang Xuan followed the location of the signal on his phone and turned nine times and eighteen times. He walked to a shed that was not much taller than a person with one foot and one foot.
It was a simple shed built with broken bricks, oils, stone tiles, and moldy wood. It could only cover the wind and rain at the lowest level. The New Nederland in the 10th month was already a little cold, especially in the middle of the night. The cold wind blew, and the oil cloth in the shed fluttered along with the wind. The dim light of the lamp shone through the place where the oils were raised. It was as if only the poor people in the old society of the Huaxia were poor.
Faang Xuan stood outside the shed, feeling a little sour in his heart. What kind of person was this? If he was willing, he would probably be able to enjoy the most luxurious life. However, for the sake of business, for the development of the motherland, he resolutely abandoned everything. He was willing to hide in such a small shed that no one could stay in and silently wait for the company's rescue.
However, did the company really want to save him?
He really did not know which bastard gave the order to actually say that he could behead him if necessary.
At this moment, Faang Xuan made up his mind in his heart. No matter what, he had to bring the professor back alive.
Just as Faang Xuan was deep in thought, the door of the shed opened with a creak. A foreign girl in a worn-out long dress with a pale face walked out from inside.
The little girl looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. She was very small and skinny. Her clean face had a long malnutrition paleness, but her big eyes seemed to be full of spirituality.
She vigilantly looked at Faang Xuan. She could see that she was very afraid, but that weak little body stubbornly blocked the door of the shed, not even willing to take a step out.
Faang Xuan showed a very kind smile and said to the little girl in English, "Haha, cute little princess, don't you want to invite me in to have a seat?"
"You are here to pick up Bruce. Lee?"0
Maybe it was Faang Xuan's friendly attitude that moved the little girl. She put down her guard and gave Faang Xuan a sweet smile. She said crisply, "Why did you come so late? Bruce is dying."
Faang Xuan's heart sank. The girl's words gave him a bad feeling. So he asked anxiously, "Little princess, can you let me go in and see your Bruce? Lee? "
"Wait a minute." The little girl did not rush to agree to Faang Xuan's request. Instead, she turned around and ran back to the shed.
Faang Xuan was not in a hurry either. He quietly stood outside the shed, took out a cigarette, lit it up, and patiently waited for the little girl to pass on the message.
After smoking about half a cigarette, the little girl reappeared outside the shed. She revealed a sweet smile and said, "Bruce said you can go in, but you have to throw the cigarette away."
Faang Xuan smiled bitterly and threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground. He raised his head and glanced at an inconspicuous little cube at the entrance of the shed. He smiled faintly and followed the little girl into the shed.
The shed was very small, about ten square meters. Other than a bed, there was also a simple table made of square bricks and a broken wooden plank.
On the table, there was a half-black, shoddy face. Judging from the appearance, it was obvious that the taste was not very good.
Faang Xuan just casually sized up the room, then his gaze stopped on the man on the bed.
This was a skinny middle-aged man. His hair was white, and his eye sockets were deep. However, one could still see the distinct edges. When he was young, he was definitely a handsome man. When he saw someone come in, he sat up from the bed and took out a pair of thick glass lenses from the pillow and wore them on his face. He carefully looked at Faang Xuan.
"Bruce, is he the person you are waiting for?" The little girl revealed a naive smile and looked at the person on the bed expectantly.
"Cough cough..."
The man coughed and said to the little girl, "Vivian, get the guest some water."
The little girl looked at Faang Xuan and asked curiously, "Do you want to drink Huaxia tea or a cup of authentic coffee? The coffee made by Vivian is very authentic."
Faang Xuan smiled and touched the little girl's head. He squatted down and said, "Then give me a cup of authentic coffee."
The little girl got the answer she wanted and skipped to the door of the shed. Faang Xuan noticed that there was a gas stove there.
The middle-aged man on the bed kept looking at Vivian. His eyes were full of love.
"She is a cute angel. Young man, do you think so?"
Surprisingly, he did not ask about Faang Xuan's background. He did not even ask about his purpose. Instead, he said something strange.
"Who said not?" Faang Xuan agreed. He wanted to find a stool to sit on, but the room was too simple. There was not even a place to sit.
The middle-aged man was obviously very satisfied with Faang Xuan's answer. A trace of redness appeared on his sickly face. "Then, are you willing to help me take care of her?"
"Why not?" Faang Xuan had no objections. In the face of this middle-aged man who was obviously beyond cure, he could not find any reason to refuse.
The middle-aged man smiled with relief. His excitement made his breathing quicken. He looked at Faang Xuan carefully again and said in a weak voice, "You are a kind person. I am not wrong. Take this. It doesn't matter if you give it to the company. I'll give it to you anyway. "
The middle-aged man took out a portable hard drive from under his pillow and handed it to Faang Xuan.
