The man codenamed Executive frowned, "Jade Maiden, take your hand away!"
The beautiful woman withdrew her hand, looking disappointed, and the short man also looked full of regret.
The Jade Maiden regained her serious expression and said, "Executive, you don't need to worry too much. Now that our Foundation is cooperating with the Xia family, we will inject them with serum, and they will be responsible for providing people and resources. Our efficiency in searching for awakened experimental subjects will definitely increase greatly, and the current slow progress is only temporary!"
"I naturally know that, otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with the Xia family! What I'm afraid of is..." The Executive's brows were tightly furrowed, then he sighed deeply.
"Alright, Golden Boy and Jade Maiden, I have something for the two of you to do."
The short man was the Golden Boy.
"The Lynx team ran into trouble and can't be contacted now. Before they lost contact, they sent a message saying there was an emergency, but they didn't specify what it was. The two of you go to Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology!"
The Golden Boy and Jade Maiden, a married couple, exchanged glances, filled with intense shock.
"What about Huang Fei? Has he not sent any message at all?"
The Executive shook his head and sighed, "No! I suspect he encountered a troublesome awakened person and was eliminated.
The Foundation is currently in a stage of rapid development, and I don't have many people I can use.
You two must be careful!"
According to the Foundation's ranking, the Golden Boy, the Jade Maiden, and Huang Fei, the leader of the Lynx team, were all A-class in strength, considered top-tier experts among awakened individuals.
The fact that the opponent could eliminate Huang Fei meant there was a high probability they could also eliminate either the Golden Boy or the Jade Maiden.
But the Executive had confidence in them, because this couple was not ordinary, and their appearance and abilities were very deceptive.
The Golden Boy chuckled, patting his chest, "Don't worry, Executive, my wife and I are invincible, we fear no one!"
The Jade Maiden smiled charmingly, "Except for the Executive~"
The Golden Boy chuckled awkwardly, "Ahem, yes, except for the Executive."
The Executive shook his head with a wry smile; he knew this couple's disposition.
"Alright, you two go. Contact me anytime if you encounter an emergency!"
"Yes!"
After leaving the Executive's room, the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden exchanged glances, both extremely excited.
The Golden Boy grabbed his wife's clothes and said excitedly, "This is great, wife! We can find new toys again! Let's go quickly!"
The Jade Maiden smiled charmingly, then suddenly thought of something.
"Don't be in a hurry, husband. There's also that very handsome Xia Beichen in the Xia family. I want to play with him for a bit~"
The Golden Boy frowned, "But we have a cooperative relationship with the Xia family. Isn't it inappropriate for you to play with their son?
If it affects the Executive's plan, it would be troublesome.
Besides, we're pressed for time. How about we play when we get back?"
The Jade Maiden tugged at her husband's arm, pouting, "Oh dear~ It's so rare for me to meet someone so handsome. I can't resist anymore.
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and it'll be over quickly!"
"Alright... alright," the Golden Boy ultimately couldn't refuse his wife.
In Xia Beichen's room, without the busy work and brain-burning business battles, the idle CEO was staring blankly at his fiancée's photo.
"Xiao Zhu, my love for you is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, do you know that?"
"Xiao Zhu, I regret it so much, I regret not staying by your side all this time, leaving me to suffer from the pain of lovesickness now. But don't worry, I'll come to pick you up very soon."
"Xiao Zhu, I..."
Thump thump thump!
A knock on the door interrupted his soliloquy. Xia Beichen frowned, got up, and opened the door.
"Hmm? You are..." The CEO was stunned. Wasn't this person from that mysterious organization cooperating with the family?
The Jade Maiden chuckled, twisted her body, and slipped into the room.
"Ah~ It's so warm here, Brother Beichen? Unlike my place, which is cold and dry. Your Xia family's hospitality isn't quite up to par, you know?"
Xia Beichen thought back for a moment. This woman seemed to be called the Jade Maiden, right?
"Miss Jade Maiden, is there something you need from me?"
The Jade Maiden fiddled with her clothes, exposing her fair shoulders to fan herself, "Why are you so distant, Brother Beichen? You can call me Xiao Yu. I'm just too bored staying here, and I wanted to chat with Brother Beichen~"
Xia Beichen swallowed. Ever since he fell in love with Jiang Zhu at first sight, he had kept himself pure, living like a monk. Suddenly being flirted with by the Jade Maiden made him a little excited.
"Ahem, Miss Jade Maiden, what do you want to talk about?"
"Brother Beichen, am I some kind of monster? Why are you standing so far away from me?"
"Alright... alright, please sit down. But I must make it clear to you, I am a man with a fiancée. For us to be alone in a room, I'm fine, but it won't do your reputation any good."
"Hehehe, Brother Beichen is so funny. What era is this? I, a woman, am not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Afraid of your sister-in-law finding out?"
The Jade Maiden looked at Jiang Zhu's photo, feeling a slight hint of jealousy in her heart.
As expected of Xia Beichen's fiancée, she was indeed beautiful.
But she's not as flirtatious as I am.
Hmph!
The two sat down, and Xia Beichen, with great courtesy, offered her tea.
The Jade Maiden played with the teacup but didn't drink, smiling, "Brother Beichen, I've been staying at the Xia family for a few days, and I feel a bit unwell~"
Xia Beichen was startled, "Unwell? You've awakened, and you can still feel unwell? Should I ask the family doctor to come and take a look?"
"No... no need!" The Jade Maiden feigned difficulty breathing, "I just feel a bit stuffy in my chest, and my head hurts a little. Can you help me take a look?"
"Stuffy chest? Headache?" Xia Beichen thought for a moment, got up, walked to the desk, and pressed the intercom, "Someone, bring the family's X-ray machine over.
Oh, and the MRI machine too.
I want to see them within five minutes!"
After speaking, he looked at the Jade Maiden seriously, "Xiao Yu, don't worry. Our family's medical equipment is very complete. We'll give you a chest X-ray and an MRI later, and we'll know what the problem is."
Jade Maiden: ???
No?
Now I feel like you're the one with the problem, not me, right?
What are you bringing over?
X-ray machine?
MRI machine?
Can these two things be described with the word 'bring'?
The world of a CEO is indeed beyond ordinary comprehension.
The Jade Maiden laughed awkwardly, "No... no need to bother. It's an old problem; I just need a press, and it'll be fine."
"Really?" Xia Beichen didn't doubt him and sat back down.
"Of course, it's true~" Seeing how straightforward he was, the Jade Maiden decided not to beat around the bush anymore. She grabbed Xia Beichen's hand and placed it on her chest.
"Brother Beichen, my chest feels uncomfortable again now. Can you help me relieve it?"
Xia Beichen was a virgin and had never experienced such a situation. His old face immediately turned red.
"Ah... this... this isn't good, is it?"
"It's fine, it'll be over quickly. You can't take advantage of me, okay?"
"Alright... alright, I'm a very upright person, don't worry, I will definitely not take advantage of you!"
What he didn't notice was that outside the room's window, the Golden Boy was excitedly watching everything through a crack. Seeing Xia Beichen lay hands on his wife, the Golden Boy clenched his fists in excitement.
