Chapter 154
The person who walked out of the rest room was Shen Yisi. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes; it looked like he had come directly from the company.
None of the three expected Shen Yisi to be there, especially Shen Shuyu. He shot up from the sofa, stuttering a bit, “Brother, Brother? Why are you here?”
Only after asking did he realize what a stupid question it was. This was Yue Cheng’s office; it was perfectly normal for Shen Yisi to be here. He looked at Yue Cheng.
Yue Cheng immediately looked away, pretending he knew nothing.
Shen Yisi walked toward them. Seeing Shen Shuyu stand up, Lin Xuyi immediately stood up too. “Hello, Brother!”
Shen Yisi hummed a response. His gaze landed on Shen Xili’s chest; indeed, something seemed to be moving there. He asked, “What’s going on?”
Shen Shuyu pursed his lips. “Brother, this matter is a bit complicated. But right now, the more important thing is to take the bug out of him.”
It was Lin Xuyi’s first time seeing Shen Xili and Shen Yisi in the same frame. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Xili, you and President Shen look quite alike.”
Shen Xili glanced at him. He and Shen Yisi had only met briefly backstage before. Shen Yisi had announced his relationship with the Shen family with little emotion. Moreover, Shen Xili knew that before Zhong tracked him, another group had been tracking him—authorized by Shen Yisi.
To be honest, Shen Xili didn’t feel much toward this brother. In fact, he had seen financial reports about Shen Yisi when he first arrived on Amor. Their appearances were very similar. For a period of time, after Shen Yisi won a major project, Shen Xili was often mistaken for him when he went out.
The gazes of the two brothers met, then quickly looked away.
Shen Yisi looked at Shen Shuyu, his expression softening a bit. He asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter?”
Shen Shuyu was practically sweating bullets. “Brother, can we talk about this when we get home? It’s really not convenient right now.”
After all, Lin Xuyi was there. Although Shen Shuyu knew that Lin Xuyi would sooner or later find out that Shen Xili was the true young master of the Shen family lost outside, and he didn’t actually mind Lin Xuyi knowing now, the key was that Shen Xili might mind.
Up until now, he hadn’t agreed to return to the Shen family.
Shen Yisi took a deep breath and sat down. He reached out to pick up the gift box, but Shen Shuyu pressed his hand down on the back of Shen Yisi’s hand.
Shen Shuyu said, “Brother, better not look at it for now.”
Shen Yisi pursed his lips. “How do we extract it?”
Shen Shuyu hurriedly gave Shen Xili a look. Shen Xili said, “Just cut it open and take it out. It’s not hidden very deep.”
“Just cut it open?” Lin Xuyi said, “No, dude, are you a bit too crazy? This is right at your heart. Cutting it open directly is too risky.”
“Correct,” Yue Cheng also said. “We need to do an examination to assess the risk and see the specific location before we can do it. The earliest would be tomorrow.”
Shen Xili shook his head. “Can’t wait. Must do it tonight.”
They didn’t know how long Wen Jiafei could lead Zhong away, but all three of them knew very well that if they didn’t extract the bug tonight, the Mother Bug might not be in their hands tomorrow.
Shen Shuyu opened his mouth, about to say something, when the terminal in his pocket vibrated. He took it out to look; a photo had been sent from an unknown account.
The person in the photo was Wen Yue.
The stranger didn’t say anything, but Shen Shuyu understood the meaning behind the photo.
Seeing his expression change, Shen Yisi looked over sideways and asked, “Who is this?”
Yue Cheng, sitting on the other side, also propped up his head to look. “Huh? Isn’t this Auntie Wen?”
Shen Yisi looked at Yue Cheng. Yue Cheng said, “Wen Jiafei’s mother. She was staying on the eighth floor of our hospital before. Looking at the photo, she’s recovered well; she’s even working at a cake shop.”
Shen Shuyu said, “Brother, extracting the bug has to happen tonight. I’m going out to make a call; you guys discuss it first.”
After saying that, he took his phone and hurriedly walked out the door. As soon as he left, the four Alphas in the office all fell silent.
Even Lin Xuyi, the king of atmosphere, didn’t know how to start.
Shen Xili silently put his clothes back on. He said, “Forget it.”
He and Shen Shuyu had actually thought too simply. It was hard for ordinary people to agree to extract a bug immediately, after all, it was dangerous, and neither Yue Cheng nor Lin Xuyi had experienced it.
And now that Wen Yue was involved, he couldn’t cause any more trouble for Wen Jiafei and Shen Shuyu.
Hearing him say this, Shen Yisi was silent for a few seconds before arranging decisively, “Yue Cheng, give him a basic examination right now.”
Yue Cheng said, “You really agree to do it?”
Shen Yisi gave a hum of affirmation.
Lin Xuyi listened in a fog. Shen Xili needed surgery; why did it require Shen Shuyu’s brother’s consent?
Yue Cheng understood. He sighed, “After this is over, if you can’t give me a satisfactory reward, you’re done for.”
Shen Yisi didn’t respond to him but turned to look at his own brother. He asked, “Is there anything to pay attention to during the surgery?”
Shen Xili didn’t understand why Shen Yisi suddenly wanted Yue Cheng to do this surgery for him, but thinking of how Shen Shuyu had been busy running around for him, he said, “Cannot use anesthesia. If used, the bug won’t be visible. Also, don’t kill the bug when clamping it.”
Shen Yisi nodded. He looked at Yue Cheng. “Understood?”
“No anesthesia?” This time Lin Xuyi exploded. “No, Brother, I thought doing the surgery now was already crazy enough, but you’re saying no anesthesia?”
Shen Xili nodded. “Only you and Yue Cheng Ge can do this surgery.”
Yue Cheng opened his mouth to persuade him otherwise, but Shen Yisi made the final decision: “Do exactly as he says.”
Yue Cheng and Lin Xuyi looked at each other. Finally, Yue Cheng nodded. “But I’m telling you in advance. Although I’m a genius, even a genius hasn’t done such a crazy surgery. I can’t guarantee what the success rate of this surgery will be.”
“I know,” Shen Xili said. “Don’t worry, I understand everything.”
Shen Yisi took his terminal out of his pocket. He dialed a number and said in a deep voice, “Deploy twenty fighters to Yue Cheng’s hospital, and deploy another ten to…”
He paused and turned to look at Shen Xili.
Shen Xili immediately understood his meaning and quickly recited an address.
Shen Yisi told the address to the person on the phone. “Send ten men to this cake shop. Find a person named Wen Yue. Protect her safety, but don’t let her notice. Be quick.”
Shen Yisi arranged things quickly. He stood up and said, “Let’s begin. There isn’t much time tonight. I’m going to find Xiao Yu.”
After Shen Yisi left, Lin Xuyi couldn’t help but say, “Just like that, it’s decided?”
Although he was definitely going to help, wasn’t such a big decision made too quickly? Lin Xuyi glanced at the watch on his wrist. It had only been fifteen minutes since the three of them entered!
Shen Xili looked at him and patted his shoulder. “Thanks.”
Shen Shuyu walked out of the office and immediately called Wen Jiafei several times, but Wen Jiafei didn’t answer. He had a bad feeling.
Shen Shuyu looked at Yue Cheng’s office, then at the elevator hall, wondering if Wen Jiafei knew Wen Yue was being targeted.
No.
He had to go find Wen Yue.
Holding his terminal, Shen Shuyu edited a message to send to Shen Xili while walking toward the elevator hall to leave the hospital.
Just as he was about to send it, he bumped into someone. Shen Shuyu lost his grip, and just as he watched the terminal slip from his hand, someone caught it steadily for him before he could react.
The familiar bitter orange pheromones let Shen Shuyu know who it was without looking.
He looked up. “Wen Jiafei!”
“Mn.” Wen Jiafei returned the terminal to Shen Shuyu. “Why are you in such a rush?”
Shen Shuyu grabbed his hand. “Let’s go find your mom quickly. Someone just sent me a photo of her.”
“What?” Wen Jiafei shifted his attention from their clasped hands to elsewhere. He frowned. “Who sent it?”
“I reckon it’s Zhong.” Shen Shuyu thought for a moment. “Did you shake him off?”
Wen Jiafei nodded. “I circled for a long time before shaking him off.”
Shen Shuyu let go of his hand and pressed the elevator button. The elevator was already on this floor and opened quickly. As he stepped in, he said, “Then let’s go find Auntie. I’m not reli—”
“No need to go.”
Before Shen Shuyu could finish, he was interrupted by Shen Yisi, who had caught up from behind.
Shen Shuyu glanced back and pulled his foot back. “Brother?”
Shen Yisi pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. “I’ve already sent people over. They’ll be faster than you.”
Shen Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Wen Jiafei. “No need to worry now.”
Wen Jiafei nodded, then said to Shen Yisi, “Thank you, President Shen.”
Shen Yisi said, “No need. After all, you did it for my two brothers.”
Two brothers? Wen Jiafei didn’t quite understand Shen Yisi’s words.
