Chapter 734 - Please Give the Phone a Name
The sunshine outside the window was dazzling, and Coro Island was particularly hot today.
The air conditioner was turned up high. Jiang Chen was sitting in the study room, quietly reading a novel. He seldom read books. Thanks to Ayesha, this elegantly decorated study room was never covered by dust.
Today he was in no mood to go out, nor did he feel like wearing the Phantom to play games, so he simply came to read. While waiting for the news of the Ghost Agents, he quietly read this novel he had read half a year ago, but never picked back up.
“Cabbages and Kings”
He did not try to guess the ending of the story, because O. Henry’s endings had always been unexpected.
A gust of wind blew by and Jiang Chen looked up. Ayesha, dressed in a maid uniform, appeared at the door and walked beside him in gentle steps.
“The identity of the assassin was found. Her parents were Kurofune members and killed by Ghost Agents.”
At the request of Jiang Chen, Ayesha did not tell him the name of the girl.
He closed the book, put the book aside, and gently said.
“What about her?”
“She had nothing to do with the Kurofune… but we do not rule out that Kurofune members later found her and simply trained and instilled in her… the concept of hatred.” Ayesha adjusted the wording to be as brief as possible.
“Is that so…” Jiang Chen was in deep thought
Hatred fueled by hatred, this was what he had expected. However, he didn’t intend to change his mind. The Kurofune must be wiped out and any excuse was not sufficient to argue against their crime against society.
What’s more, they were on their last breaths.
“We can add an examination to the medical checkup during immigration inspection to monitor the presence of the genetic code,” Ayesha suggested.
“There are too many people who carry hidden genetic codes, even more than those who do not carry them. The difference between superpowers and ordinary people is whether the genetic code is explicitly expressed or not.” Jiang Chen said.
Ghost agents penetrated into every area of Xin and monitored every incoming and outgoing phone call, text, byte of data in Xin’s artificial intelligence. However, to ensure the security status of each incoming passenger, it was almost impossible to complete the work for a tourist country with a traffic of several hundred thousand or more.
Compared to the mercenaries using weapons, attacks by unarmed people were sometimes more dangerous and even more difficult to prevent. For example, the girl last night used a mental oscillation at a crucial moment.
Fortunately, although these so-called superpowers were inconceivable, they are all within the realm of nature. For example, the superheroes that could destroy everything would only exist in Marvel.
Biting her lower lip, Ayesha lowered her beautiful face.
“I’m very sorry. It was my dereliction of duty that you were almost assassinated last night—”
“No need to apologize. Raise your head.” Jiang Chen smiled. “Nobody can predict what will happen. All we can do is prevent it before it happens.”
Although Jiang Chen’s words gave Ayesha some comfort, the young girl still did not completely forgive her dereliction of duty. If there weren’t any of them, there would at least be a Ghost Agent that would accompany Jiang Chen. However, unfortunately, the atmosphere with Xia Shiyu was too great last night. Zhu Yu, who was standing next to him, protecting him, did not dare to look at the “live show” of the two, and quietly left.
No one thought it would be such a coincidence. If Zhu Yu was nearby, she would certainly not hesitate to execute the girl immediately. The person with superpowers was still a person, no matter what kind of superpower, as long as the person was dead, there would be no problems.
For this matter, Ayesha lectured Zhu Yu for a long time.
If it were her instead, she would certainly not shy away from watching Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu doing naughty things, perhaps she would have joined them… Ahem.
Since Ayesha didn’t respond, Jiang Chen paused for a moment but then continued.
“What happened last night was nothing. My car was modified. Even if I didn’t stop the car and drove into the sea, I would at most suffer some small injuries. So, don’t feel too guilty. In that world, I have seen people with even more terrifying superpowers.”
“More terrifying?”
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
“His superpower had been unlocked to the third level, and he could wipe a whole province from the map… but in the end, he still died under my Light Sword.”
Also, he had to thank those crystals detonated by the guy named Bo Yu. Otherwise, his storage dimension would not have changed to the real universe.
After listening to Jiang Chen’s words, Ayesha asked in concern.
“Over there… Is that world so terrifying?”
“Not necessarily. Although in every sense the situation there is very confusing and chaotic, but fortunately, there is a group of people who are still pretty good, and now slowly establishing order. So, don’t worry about me too much. If there is the opportunity, I’ll take you over there for a tour…though it is not a good place.”
Jiang Chen smiled and rubbed Ayesha’s head.
“Mhmm.” Aisha murmured.
…
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Chen did not disclose the assassination to the public. The body of the girl was also taken to the apocalypse for burial. The traces of her existence were erased from the world forever.
After a day of rest at home, he arrived at the Future Group building the next day.
With some contrast to what he had imagined, he originally thought that with Xia Shiyu’s thin skin, after experiencing such an embarrassing thing, she would surely avoid him for several days. However, the reality was out of his expectations. Not only did Xia Shiyu not hide from him, she also sat across from him at lunchtime.
Perhaps it was Jiang Chen’s illusion, but the relationship between them got a lot closer.
However, when the two people were eating, they mostly talked about work.
“Is Future Technology prepared?”
“What are you referring to?” Xia Shiyu mixed the salad dressing with the vegetables and fruits, and then picked up a tomato with her fork before sending it into her cherry mouth. However, for some reason, Jiang Chen felt the moment when the red lips bit onto the tomato, it was extremely sensual. Maybe because the salad dressing was white.
“The phone.”
He cut off a piece of steak and chewed to hide his embarrassment.
“Future Heavy Inudstries already delivered the sample. From product quality, it is absolutely worthy of the concept ‘next generation’. In addition, I have seen Ning Huajian’s plan, and the promotion and sales channels of Future Technology are ready to go. All the work is ready and only one last thing remains.”
“What?”
Xia Shiyu smiled and used a joking tone she rarely used.
“Mr. President, please give the phone a name.”
