Chapter 2182 — Nothing Lost

"Perfect, then. You and Zhao Shengji can drive to the movies tonight. I'll skip it," Wei Zhao said.
"Huh? Boss, you're not going? It's no fun without you. Besides, in Meiyue's dorm, Lan Xiaoru has her own things to do and barely gets back until late every night, and Meiyue and Xiaoling are both out. Sister-in-law Xinyan would be bored on her own too, wouldn't she?" Bai Weituo coaxed.
"Is that so..." At the mention of Wang Xinyan, Wei Zhao's interest was somewhat stirred—not because he wanted a movie date with her, but because he could cultivate while watching the film. So he thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask her this afternoon."
In a private room at the campus hospital, Li Biaohan had just had his bones set. A broken sternum was nothing to a skilled Yellow-rank fighter like him, but his mood was thoroughly foul.
"Brother Wen, that Wei Zhao really is no ordinary character. The No. 01 test subject collapsed for no apparent reason, but as Wei Zhao was leaving, I saw him pull a silver needle out of the subject's body..." Li Biaohan recounted everything that had happened at the boxing club to An Liwen, hoping An Liwen would stand up for him.
"I understand. For now, don't provoke Wei Zhao, and keep your distance from the people around him. That thing is a violent maniac, no different from a lunatic," An Liwen said mildly.
"All right..." Li Biaohan was disappointed. He had assumed that even if An Liwen didn't care about his broken ribs, surely he wouldn't let the extortion of two million yuan and an Audi Q7 slide so easily?
But regrettably, An Liwen truly did not care. It was as if the two million and the car meant nothing at all to him.
In fact, it was true that An Liwen didn't take it seriously—but it would be a lie to say he wasn't angry. It was just that anger was useless. When he had tried to swindle Gu Pengzhan and failed, he had ended up paying Wei Zhao two billion instead. Compared to that, two million was nothing at all.
"Da Luozi, go fetch Dr. Yin!" An Liwen hung up the phone and instructed Da Luozi.
"Yes, sir!" Da Luozi answered and went to summon Dr. Yin.
Before long, Dr. Yin came striding over quickly. "Greetings, Young Master Wen!"
An Liwen was now a minor boss of the Fire Wolf Gang in Donghai City, and Dr. Yin treated him with even greater respect than before.
"Dr. Yin, just now Li Biaohan took the latest No. 01 test subject to deal with Wei Zhao, but there was a bit of an accident..." With that, An Liwen told Dr. Yin about the silver needle.
"Oh? If my analysis is correct, Wei Zhao must have used acupoint-sealing techniques to render our test subject unconscious..." Dr. Yin pondered for a moment, then said, "This is indeed a fatal flaw. I hadn't considered it thoroughly before, but Wei Zhao has actually done us a great favor. We wasted a test subject, true, but we've found its weakness. My junior brother and I will continue to refine it!"
"That's wonderful, then." An Liwen smiled. "Nothing lost, really—two million and a car, just chalk it up to testing fees."
"Indeed, we really ought to thank Wei Zhao for this!" An Mingyue said with a smile as well.
Yet no sooner had Dr. Yin withdrawn than An Liwen's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression instantly changed!
"What is it?" An Mingyue noticed An Liwen's odd look and asked hurriedly.
"It's Wei Zhao..." An Liwen said.
"Wei Zhao? What's he calling for?" An Mingyue was startled too, but said, "Answer it and see."
"Hello? Boss Wei Zhao, what makes you think to call me?" An Liwen said warmly.
"I'm not your boss, so don't go claiming me as one," Wei Zhao said. "That test subject of Li Biaohan's—you gave it to him, didn't you?"
"What test subject?" Naturally, An Liwen would not admit it.
