Chapter 32

Fu Siyao looked at Xie Muling: "Big brother made this decision because he considers you family. We'll get married sooner or later anyway, and family doesn't need to stand on ceremony, so please say yes, okay?"

Xie Muling's heart stirred. Looking at Fu Siyao's tender eyes, he felt a surge of tenderness. He couldn't bear to see any pleading look in his beloved's eyes, so he subconsciously nodded. "Okay, I agree."

Fu Huaiyan and Su Wanqiao exchanged a smile, knowing that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Xie Muling is usually very calm and composed, but he won't refuse any request when he's in front of Fu Siyao.

"Although the assassination was planned in advance, there is still a certain degree of danger to ensure authenticity. I will arrange for someone to help you train during this period. We don't have much time left, and this matter must not fail."

Time flies, and it's already the middle of next month.

Su Wanqiao's inner voice could only predict specific events, but not the exact date. However, there weren't many events that could attract the chairmen of large conglomerates. In addition, Fu Huaiyan had started making arrangements a week in advance, not only finding the assassin who was going to kill Zhang Wanhao in advance, but also successfully switching the roles and arranging for his own people to successfully infiltrate the venue.

Zhang Wanhao had originally come to discuss business, but something happened that prevented the deal from being finalized, so he wasn't in a good mood. Just as he was about to take the wine glass handed to him by the waiter, he was caught off guard and heard a gunshot ring out from inside the room.

Screams erupted from the crowd, and the scene instantly descended into chaos. The other side's target was Zhang Wanhao.

Zhang Wanhao felt a chill run down his spine, as if death was approaching, but suddenly someone pushed him away.

Immediately afterwards, a bullet struck the man's shoulder, splattering blood everywhere—a truly shocking scene.

The bodyguards reacted instantly and quickly protected Zhang Wanhao. Zhang Wanhao was in his sixties and his health had never been very good, so he wasn't very responsive. If it weren't for that young man taking the bullet for him, they would have been the ones hit.

So when he saw the other person fall into a pool of blood after saving him, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

The sirens of ambulances and police cars soon filled the air outside.

Many people in the venue were so frightened that they had already run out, and the murderer had also disappeared without a trace in the chaos.

Zhang Wanhao, protected by bodyguards, also evacuated immediately, but he still instructed his people to arrange for Xie Muling to receive the best treatment and use the best medical conditions, ensuring that he would be safe and sound without any accidents.

Fu Huaiyan couldn't help but smile when he heard the news reported by his subordinate. Zhang Wanhao's attitude meant that they had succeeded in this matter.

Although Su Wanqiao said that the original plot was for Gu Yubai to be stabbed, he felt that doing so would easily be exposed, so he chose to shoot him, which had a more shocking effect.

And indeed it was very successful, and all the aftermath was cleaned up so that no one could find any evidence.

Fu Huaiyan couldn't help but snap out of his reverie and hug his muse, marveling at how lucky he had been since meeting Su Wanqiao; she was a life-changing presence.

"Zhang Wanhao's talks with zerio Pharmaceuticals today didn't go through. It was supposedly about a vaccine for a new type of influenza, but the vaccine is extremely expensive, and there are many similar products on the market, so the prospects aren't particularly good. Moreover, zerio Pharmaceuticals has been operating at a loss for years, and they were treating this collaboration like a lifeline, but unfortunately, it didn't work out."

Zerio Pharmaceuticals?

Su Wanqiao suddenly shuddered.

[Is the Type fa1 Virus that's wreaking havoc globally about to break out? I remember there was such a plot point in the book. But Gu Yubai's company is nowhere near the size of his previous life, and he can't do business like he did back then. However, the research team that developed a way to control the Type fa1 Virus was at zerio Pharmaceuticals. It's just that after that pharmaceutical company went bankrupt, the researchers moved to another company, which is Gu Yubai's company. In the original story, the Fu Group's research progress was slow due to numerous internal spies and infighting, so the project wasn't considered successful. But now, the Fu Family is slowly improving, and with the addition of new talent, they will only become stronger and develop a vaccine faster.]

[If only Fu Huaiyan had extended an olive branch to the soon-to-be-unemployed R&D staff at zerio Pharmaceuticals, the sooner this vaccine is developed, the more lives could be saved for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.]

Fu Huaiyan's expression changed, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

This news is extremely important!

Chapter 32

Although Fu Huaiyan didn't know what the situation of this virus outbreak would be like, he knew all too well what such an epidemic would mean.

If this really results in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, then the situation is truly very serious.

Even if one knew in advance what would happen in the future, it would still mean having the responsibility to develop a vaccine ahead of time.

Fu Huaiyan suddenly realized that even if knowing the plot in advance would make choices that benefit him, these opportunities were not without cost; fate had already secretly marked the price.

The more he knows, the greater his responsibility. This time, he not only wants to do it, but he wants to do it even more successfully than the original story, saving even more patients.

From this moment on, Fu Huaiyan may already be racing against death, because he doesn't know exactly when this epidemic will break out. Perhaps by the time he reads Su Wanqiao's "inner thoughts," many things will have already happened.

Fu Huaiyan suddenly stood up and patted Su Wanqiao's hair reassuringly, instinctively preparing to make a call to arrange for her to be poached.

In fact, this part of the plot is very important in the original text. It is because of this incident that Gu Yubai's company made a lot of money from the virus vaccine, which is why it truly became a top-tier conglomerate.
