Chapter 478: Chapter 482: Rebirth in the Apocalypse (19)

"Who invited Doctor Z?"

No one did. He learned of the news through special channels and came to intercept.

"What’s going on?"

Su Shaoqing arrived with his men, ready to transfer Qi ersheng, only to find the man already lying on the ground.

Doctor Z, smacking his lips with some annoyance and regret, said, "Had I known, I would’ve taken him away earlier."

The plainclothes officers inside the room let out a relieved sigh, nearly having made a grave mistake.

It turned out that the person who was supposed to take over wasn’t Doctor Z. If they had let that madman take the subject away, a major demerit wouldn’t be enough to make up for it.

Su Shaoqing gave Doctor Z a warning glare and said sternly, "Keep yourself in line. You’re part of this research too, so why bother with redundancy?"

Doctor Z: "Can’t you really let me handle him alone..."

"All decisions from above are final. He hasn’t committed any crime and still enjoys the same rights as a normal citizen. As long as he’s willing to cooperate, none of your strange notions or methods can be used on him."

Faced with such an extraordinary event, it indeed attracts mad scientists, but the state will still protect citizens willing to contribute to the nation under its banner.

Without harming the nation’s supreme interests, the state may even offer the highest treatment to research subjects, despite temporarily losing their freedom.

Of course, all this is predicated on the research subject being obedient and willing to cooperate.

Doctor Z’s apparent regret was just superficial; the moment he had seen the man on the ground, he could tell that this person was not the type to obey and submit willingly.

The defiance and burning ambition in his eyes were something Doctor Z was all too familiar with.

Because he was that kind of person himself.

Of course, Doctor Z thought he had the arrogance to back it up, but for Qi ersheng, he just wanted to call him a fool.

"Alright, I’ve got it," Doctor Z, faced with Su Shaoqing’s stern look, was unexpectedly submissive, agreeing cheerfully, "I absolutely won’t do anything beyond the instructions."

He was confident that Qi ersheng, the former Boss, would ultimately end up in his hands.

It was just a matter of time before he could study him to his heart’s content; a high-quality test subject was worth the wait.

Unbeknownst to them, Qi ersheng was quickly transferred.

Elsewhere, the Chen Family had certainly caused a major embarrassment within their social circle.

The engagement between the Su and Chen Families had been secretly called off, with few aware of it.

Many thought the Chen Family had used some means to cling to the Su Family’s coattails, obtaining resources others could only hope for.

Thanks to the commotion caused by Second Miss Chen, those who were unaware had come to understand the situation.

It turned out that, without their knowledge, Second Miss Chen had once been engaged to Young Master Su.

Although the engagement had now been broken off, it still made many people extremely jealous of Chen Yuanyuan.

This girl did not appear remarkable, so what virtues or abilities had attracted Young Master Su’s interest?

Fortunately, Young Master Su’s poor judgment hadn’t reached a terminal stage. Clearly, he must have realized that Chen Yuanyuan was not a match for him, hence the broken engagement.

Had it been Eldest Miss Chen who was engaged to Young Master Su, they might have felt a bit better about it. After all, Eldest Miss Chen was impressive in every aspect.

But Second Miss Chen...

Comparing themselves with Chen Yuanyuan, many of the young ladies’ confidence soared. If even a woman like Chen Yuanyuan could win Young Master Su, they were certainly more outstanding than her.

Especially since Chen Yuanyuan seemed to be a bit dense—spreading the embarrassing news of her engagement being annulled far and wide by herself, not even sparing the other members of the Chen Family from rageful indignation.

Everyone now knew that the past conveniences were due to the engagement between the Su and Chen Families. Now, for some unknown reason, the engagement had been called off, and many cautious businesses that had cooperated with the Chen Family unanimously put their dealings with them on hold.

It was best to keep still for the time being, not knowing what the Su Family’s attitude might be.

The Su Family hadn’t said a word, and there were plenty of willing interpreters of their silence. Without lifting a finger, they had caused the Chen Family’s interests to suffer greatly.

The Chen Family was just one step away from rising to a second-tier aristocratic family, but because of Chen Yuanyuan, they had suddenly fallen to a level that was not even third-tier.

Previously, many in the Chen Family had been proud of Chen Yuanyuan. Now they were just as angry with her.

Shaoqing’s parents felt the greatest pressure, not only facing the reproach from their own family members, but also their daughter’s incomprehension and accusations.

"Why did you agree to the Su Family’s decision to call off the engagement, Mom and Dad?"

With many outside voices delighting in their misfortune, Chen Yuanyuan wanted to fight for her pride.

She couldn’t say she had strong feelings for Su Shaoqing.

Yet, the kindness he had shown her, although it often left her dissatisfied, was difficult to let go of now that the reality of discarding it confronted her.

What was most special was that he was the man her older sister secretly pined for.

Putting aside all subjective sentiments, Su Shaoqing’s qualifications were indeed top-notch, and Chen Yuanyuan had taken pride in securing him.

She had never intended to break off the engagement with Su Shaoqing.

She had rushed home from the airport in a fit of anger, only to discover such disastrous news. Despite not believing Su Shaoqing could be so cruel and heartless to her,

she could not reach him after parting ways at the airport.

For the first time, the power of the Su Family was displayed before her eyes.

If Su Shaoqing wished it, even if they were only hundreds of meters apart, she wouldn’t be able to get half an inch closer to him.

Unable to find the culprit to vent her fury on, Chen Yuanyuan could only lash out at her parents.

"Are you favoring my older sister, wanting to give my fiancé to her?"

"I knew it, you’ve always favored her over me since we were young."

Chen Yuanyuan’s reckless accusations were like stabbing a knife directly into her parents’ hearts.

For the first time, her parents faced the failure of their upbringing as they looked at their irrational, nonsensical younger daughter.

Father Chen aged several years in a moment, his whole persona deflated.

"You should ask yourself if you’ve done something to anger Young Master Su."

Father Chen’s words made Chen Yuanyuan think of her own infidelity and one-night stand, guiltily avoiding her father’s gaze.

Father Chen could see his daughter’s true nature at a glance and couldn’t hide his immense disappointment.

"You’re not young anymore, you’ll go on a blind date tomorrow."

After all, she was just a daughter; paying a dowry and getting her married off was better than keeping her at home as an enemy.

Father Chen wasn’t the head of the Chen Family, others had major objections to Chen Yuanyuan. This was the best interest he could fight for his daughter as her father.

The old father’s tender love was wasted on Chen Yuanyuan.

She couldn’t appreciate it at all and was filled with resentment in that moment.

"Su Shaoqing must have taken a liking to some other woman. I saw it, I saw it at the airport."

Father Chen advised her again, "The Su Family is not someone we can afford to offend."

Chen Yuanyuan angrily shook off her parents’ hands and turned her fire towards her sister.

"Chen Keke, you must be happy now. Feel proud, do you?"

Chen Keke: "....."
