Pei Nanxu was anxious. âThe researchers in Country M have made no progress at all. Furthermore, Big Brother isnât cooperating. Hence, even if the experts came...â
Pei Nanxu paused for a moment before he continued. âActually, Big Brother has gone overboard with this... If this had been some other woman, she would probably have agreed. But look at Lin Yan... She would rather die than admit defeat. Iâm afraid threats would only make things worse...â
Traces of fear remained on Qin Huanâs face. âYouâre absolutely right! Why do you think that none of us was able to control her? No one dared to, despite how important she was! That girl is too tough and tenacious! Even Brother Yu couldnât do anything to her. Despite losing her memories, she hasnât changed at all. Her fiery temper...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He paused for a moment. âThe worst thing is, Boss tends to lose control as well. He doesnât know what he is doing. He is merely using his instincts and everything within his power to keep Lin Yan beside him... I reckon that this time all hope is lost... We are doomed... Doomed...â
Ji Lan shot a fierce glance at Lin Yan as she listened to the shrill alarm. Bitter and incensed, she spat out, âI have already warned all of you that she is a ticking time-bomb. She will cause Brother Yuâs death someday...â
Qin Huan coughed softly and interjected, âThatâs not entirely true. If it hadnât been for her, Boss would have died a dozen times! But I do agree that, for now, itâs safer for her to stay away from Boss...â
Pei Yutang clutched the sides of his head and cursed. âF*ck! Didnât all of you claim that Sister Yan was Big Brotherâs stabilizer? How did she become an explosive? If Sister Yanâs function as a stabilizer doesnât work, what will happen to Big Brother?â
Qin Huan pulled at his hair in frustration. âI think the most crucial thing we have to do now is separate them. She canât continue to provoke Boss!â
âPerish together...â Pei Yucheng muttered bitterly over and over again. He shut his eyes slowly, looking as though he was reminiscing about something agonizing and painful.
When Lin Yan had threatened him earlier, his watch had rung so shrilly that it had flustered and terrified everyone.
Lin Yan had no idea why Pei Yuchengâs watch would produce this shrill alarm.
However, she didnât mull this over due to her rage, which had completely taken over her mind. She now seemed to be losing control over herself. Enraged, she blustered, âPei Yucheng, ignore my bluntness. I donât care if you have a mountain of gold or a prestigious, respected status. Youâre selfish and self-centered, heartless and callous. You donât know how to respect others and certainly not how to love someone. I, Lin Yan, would rather fall in love with a cat or a dog than fall in love with you. I will never admit defeat or give in...â
Beepâ
Beepâ
Beepâ
The alarm got sharper and louder as Lin Yan yelled. Pei Yucheng suddenly clutched his chest and any color was soon drained from his cheeks.
âBrother Yu!â
âBoss!â
Qin Huan, Pei Yutang, and the others went pale.
Pei Yucheng staggered to his feet as he gripped Lin Yanâs arm.
Lin Yanâs eyes sparkled coldly. Before she could react, Pei Yucheng looked as though he was about to collapse.
âYou...â Lin Yan eyed Pei Yucheng in confusion.
A moment later, Pei Yucheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, as though his body could no longer tolerate it...
