âDaddy...â The little thing clenched his clothes anxiously and sobbed.
Mu Chen looked down and hugged her as he lightly rubbed the back of her neck to comfort her.
Honestly, it was the first time in his life feeling so panicked.
âDonât be scared...â
âDaddyâs here.â The man comforted her in a low voice and when he looked up, coldness and malice filled his eyes.
But the reporters didnât care.
They all shoved their cameras into his face and asked questions as if they were pouring beans on his face:
âMr. Mu, what are your thoughts on the news?â
âMr. Mu, do you have arguments against the information that the staff from the research institute exposed?â
The first few questions were considered mild.
But it became harsher and harsher.
Mu Chen was blocked there and he couldnât leave, the little thingâs curly lashes trembled and she buried herself in his arms.
âMr. Mu, if you can make the antidote, why are you watching people die?â
The man stayed silent.
The male reporter continued to ask, âIâve investigated into your family background, your parents used to work there too.â
âThey were geniuses when they were alive and even made contributions to the society after they were dead.â
âDid they know that you grew up to be a cold-blooded and selfish person?â
Mu Chen pressed the little thing in his arms tightly and looked up expressionlessly, âYou can go down there and ask them yourself.â
Male reporter: â...â
Seeing that he failed, another woman reported took over:
âMr. Mu, why are you watching people die?â
âWhy do you choose to ignore it if you can save them?â
âMr. Mu, is that your illegitimate child?â
âThe outside world had no information about her and you donât seem to have any relatives, so is this child really your illegitimate child?â
Mu Chen covered the little girlâs ears expressionlessly, hiding the iciness in his eyes.
âMr. Mu, do you know how many people youâll kill? You donât even have any morals as a doctor, arenât you letting your dead parents down?â
âMr. Mu...â
The crowd of people squeezed them recklessly and asked harsher and sharper questions.

Public opinions spread like the wind; even people on the internet started to criticize him.
The first person who learned about the news was Shen Chuchen. The Shen familyâs network was spread out through the entire city and it was easy for news to reach him.
Huo Yao also received the same news. But before he could do anything, Shen Chuchen had already given him a call.
He said, âIâm going to pick Sangsang up, donât show your face yet.â
After a pause, the man added, âItâll be chaos if you do.â
Huo Yao frowned and snorted coldly, âEasy for you to say. If you went, arenât you telling the entire world that Sangsang is your daughter?â
He understood why, but it was horrible that Shen Chuchen was looting from a burning house!
The man smiled, âDonât worry, Iâm only going there to pick them up. If we go there together, theyâll probably figure something out especially with so many reporters there. What are we gonna do if they think we are gay, right?â
Huo Yao was disgusted by his words.
The man hung up the call expressionless and gifted him the words, âF*** offâ.
And the twoâs unfriendly conversation ended like this.
...
Shen Chuchen put his hands in his pocket lazily and glanced at Special Assistant Liu.
He smiled lightly.
âFollow me.â
Special Assistant Liuâs eyes lit up and followed eagerly.
âBoss boss, are we going to blow up those newspaper agencies?â
Shen Chuchen narrowed his eyes lazily in silence.
The man walked with his hands in his pocket and Special Assistant Liu immediately followed. His tall and cold back view made him look like a villain who was about to make a mess.

A crowd of people surrounded them and some people looked extremely indignant at the injustice.
âWatching people die is your instituteâs so-called morals?â
âTsk, is that kid your illegitimate child? You have a child too, how could you be so merciless?â
âIf his parents knew, they would regret it so much.â
Mu Chen was calm.
Regret?
He sneered.
Who knows.
The little thing felt the manâs rigid body and hugged him subconsciously while calling him helplessly, âDaddy daddy...â
Although her voice was soft, the reporters were people who could watch six roads and listen in all directions at the same time.
The eyes of the female reporter who stood the closest to Ye Sang lit up, âListen, she called Mu Chen daddy!â
Isnât this the best proof?
Immediately, the crowd started to stir restlessly.
They didnât know who started it but they all yelled towards Ye Sang,
âYour dad isnât a good thing, you will definitely grow up to be a harm to society too.â
The little thingâs lashes trembled and dragged her voice on. In an angle where the others couldnât see, tears started forming in her eyes, â... Thatâs not true.â
Ye Sangâs voice was too soft and others couldnât hear her at all.
That person continued to yell, âHe could save them, why is he watching them die?â
âDo you think this person is good enough to be your father, good enough to be a doctor?â
The person became sharper and sharper.
Mu Chen listened to his aggressive interrogation and his stroking on Ye Sangâs neck stopped.
The manâs eyes trembled and his throat felt dry.
Mu Chen could feel the little thingâs tears on his shirt and his heart ached at the feeling.
He hugged her tightly and pressed down all the dark emotions. He looked at the aggressive reporter, âDonât say that to my child.â
The man covered her ears and replied in a clear voice, âMy daughterâs still young.â
âHa.â
Someone immediately smiled coldly.
âYou know that your daughterâs still young? Then think about those children who are waiting for you to save them, arentâ they pitiful too? You canât stand it because we said something? Why wonât a cold-blooded and merciless person go die?â
Mu Chen smiled lightly.
He was indeed a bad person.
But so what?
No one was ever kind to him.
âDaddy...â While Mu Chen was spacing out, the little thingâs trembling voice sounded from his arms.
He froze for a second and let her break free unnoticed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sharp and piercing voice sounded again as he targetted Ye Sang.
He sneered: âHeâs such a cold-blooded person, Iâm afraid that his daughter doesnât even know what kind of person he is.â
âHow does it feel to acknowledge a traitor like your father? Huh?â
âWu...â The little thing heard his words and froze in her spot for a few seconds. After a while, she tried her best not to cry but she couldnât help but sob.
Ye Sangâs little milky voice sounded terrified, âBut heâs still Sangsangâs daddy no matter how bad he is.â
