Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (58)
Chapter 58 Crisis
Before nine o’clock in the evening, Wen Ping walked slowly back towards the Ascend Hotel, carrying a bag of fruit.
Recently, his eyelids have been twitching inexplicably – as the old saying goes, the left eye twitches for wealth and the right eye twitches for disaster. But if both eyes twitch together, is it wealth or disaster?
When he walked into the hotel door, the young man who greeted him had already recognized him. He knew that he was a distinguished guest who had been specifically told by Mr. Song to stay here for a long time. The smile on his face was particularly cordial when he saluted.
Wen Ping returned his smile and asked casually: “Aren’t you off work yet?”
”Soon,” the young man replied, “there’s only half an hour left…”
Wen Ping’s footsteps suddenly paused.
Halfway through his words, the young man saw that Wen Ping’s face looked wrong and asked cautiously: “Mr. Wen, what’s wrong?”
Wen Ping looked back. Outside the hotel door, the night was thick. Except for the light cast by the street lamp opposite, he didn’t notice anything strange.
”Is it my imagination…” Wen Ping muttered in confusion. The moment he greeted the young man just now, he clearly caught a glimpse of a figure behind him out of the corner of his eye.
The young man followed Wen Ping’s gaze and asked, “Mr. Wen, do you need any help?”
”Oh, no, it’s okay.” Wen Ping put away his doubts, smiled at the young man again, and strolled into the elevator.
In the shadows outside the hotel door, a man wearing a peaked cap looked at Wen Ping’s walking back, then compared it with Wen Ping’s appearance on a photo in his hand, and murmured to himself: “It should be him. .”
This person is Gu Yuexuan, who has just arrived in City D from City B.
The photo in his hand came from the last time he helped Assistant Ying Mohua pick up photos.
Two minutes later, Gu Yuexuan lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the hotel door.
Without waiting for the young man who greeted the guest to ask, he walked directly to the front desk: “Excuse me, is there a Mr. Wen living here?”
The front desk customer service asked cautiously: “Who is Mr. Wen?”
”Oops, I forgot to ask.” Gu Yuexuan showed off his acting skills as a movie star and patted the back of his head in annoyance, “I only know his surname is Wen. He took my taxi before and his phone fell into my car. After I found out, I quickly chased back and saw him walking into the door of this hotel from a distance. He must have just entered. Do you have any impressions?”
The customer service at the front desk hadn’t spoken yet, so the young man who greeted us said, “Oh, that’s the guy just now.”
The customer service person winked at him, and the young man closed his mouth belatedly.
”Sorry, sir, our customer information here is confidential. If you are sure it is the gentleman who came in just now, please allow me to call him first to confirm.”
Gu Yuexuan shook his cell phone and said, “I told you, his cell phone fell in my car, how can you call him? You just need to tell me which room he lives in?”
The customer service glanced at him and dialed the landline in Wenping’s room, but no one answered for a long time.
Gu Yuexuan said: “I told you that I can’t be contacted, so I might as well go find him myself.”
The customer service staff was led astray by Gu Yuexuan from the beginning and did not even think of calling Wen Ping’s mobile phone to confirm.
He thought for a while and said to Gu Yuexuan: “Or you can give me the guest’s mobile phone…”
”How can this work!” Gu Yuexuan defensively hid the phone behind his back, “What if you secretly take it for yourself?”
The customer service had a shady look on her face. She wouldn’t take advantage of the hotel’s surveillance cameras for such a small advantage.
Gu Yuexuan urged: “Just tell me the house number. My car is still parked outside. I will leave immediately after delivering the phone. If I am delayed,
If I get a ticket, will you pay for it on my behalf? ”
The young man greeting the guests couldn’t stand it any longer and advised him, “Why don’t you just tell him? People are doing good deeds without hesitation, so why embarrass others.”
The customer service had no choice but to tell the other party the house number.
Gu Yuexuan thanked him and quickly entered the elevator with his handbag. When the elevator door closed, he pressed the brim of his hat again, blocking his view of the surveillance camera in the corner of the elevator.
After Wen Ping returned to the hotel, he did not go back to his room. Instead, he knocked on Xia Liang’s door with fruits.
Since Zhou Shuo left, Wen Ping has taken on the responsibility of taking care of Xia Liang’s daily life. Seeing that there were not many fruits left in Xia Liang’s fruit plate, he even went to a nearby supermarket to buy fruits in person.
Xia Liang said with emotion: “Du Lanze has always said that you are the best doctor there, but if you serve me like this, what is the difference between you and a nanny?”
”It is to achieve the same effect.” Wen Ping said with a smile, “The organization has explained that Omegas with talents and skills are very precious, and this is the first time I have met an interstellar friend like you who has a genetic mutation and also has talents and skills . So even if I give up all my work, I have to make sure that your baby is born safely – by the way, Omega’s talents and skills are heritable, and the genetic rule is as high as 60%, so your baby must be foolproof.”
Xia Liang was silent for a moment and said: “Tell me honestly, what are the plans of the organization you are talking about? Have they still not given up lobbying me to join your star membership?”
”Well…” Wen Ping touched his nose, “Let nature take its course. If you really don’t want to immigrate, we won’t force you to go at gunpoint.”
”What about my child? You are so concerned about my childbirth, do you want to make a fuss about my child?”
Wen Ping originally wanted to fool around, but Xia Liang obviously didn’t give him a chance to fool around. He had no way out after being pressed repeatedly, so he had to tell the truth: “The organization does attach great importance to the child in your belly. Of course, first of all, he You have to inherit Omega’s innate skills. If he doesn’t inherit it, the organization will no longer interfere too much in your child’s life.”
”But if he inherits his innate skills, then to tell you the truth, the organization will definitely conduct regular observations on him. Of course, the observation environment is very relaxed. Whether he wants to live in the Zero Realm or return to our ABO clan, We can all make observations, and the way of observation is just to take a few blood samples every once in a while, which will not have any impact on his health. Can you rest assured when I say this? ”
”That’s it?”
”Of course, in the days to come, if you can change your mind and come back with us, we will of course still welcome you.” Wen Ping smiled. “The organization will never give up lobbying for the introduction of talents.”
Xia Liang couldn’t help but laugh. Wen Ping’s half-joking words dispelled his worries to a great extent.
What’s more, children also have choices. If they are more willing to visit the ABO family when they grow up, who knows what will happen in the future.
At this time, there was a vague knock on the door outside the room, and someone asked: “Is Mr. Wen here?”
But the knock was on the door next door. Someone opened the door, answered a few words, and then closed it again.
Wen Ping was always a little sensitive to his own surname. He heard the man outside knocking on the doors of several rooms in succession, and finally knocked on their room. He still asked the same question: “Excuse me, is Mr. Wen here?”
”Looking for me?” Wen Ping pointed to his nose suspiciously, then stood up and walked over to open the door.
However, the next moment, Wen Ping took a breath of air and slowly backed into the door.
I saw a man wearing a peaked cap holding a sharp knife and approaching Wen Ping step by step.
