Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 652 Pei Man’s Illness and Fate

Xu Xinran rushed out of Su Chen's office and didn't head for Xia Qiuru's office; she simply didn't have the face to see her cousin at the moment.

She fled down the streets, running until she reached the open space outside Rainbow Mansion before stopping.

Touching her own cheek, she found it was unbearably hot!

Thinking back to the scene that had just unfolded, she felt overwhelmingly ashamed!

She had actually taken the initiative to...

But no, it was all that bad guy's fault!

If it weren't for him taunting her, how could she have thought to teach him a lesson? And if she hadn't wanted to teach him a lesson, how could what happened afterwards have occurred!

Yes, that's right, it was all that jerk's fault!

Xu Xinran quickly found an excuse for herself, and her mood eased ever so slightly!

If Su Chen knew what Xu Xinran was thinking, he would surely choke on a sip of salty soda and question her: Even if your previous reasons made sense, wasn't it you who kissed me forcefully in the end? Did I somehow force you to do that?

But naturally, Xu Xinran conveniently ignored this question.

Now, a more pressing issue for Xu Xinran was what to do next?

But Xu Xinran's head was a complete mess now, and she couldn't think clearly at all...

Since she couldn't think clearly, she stopped trying and called a taxi to return to the hotel...

....

Su Chen stayed in his office for a while with nothing to do, originally planning to go back and cultivate.

But just as he reached the ground floor, he ran into Pei Jian.

"Could I have a word with you?" Pei Jian asked.

"Sure, there's a coffee shop nearby. Let's talk there," Su Chen replied with a nod, then headed toward the coffee shop, with Pei Jian following behind.

After the two entered the coffee shop, they casually sat down at a table and ordered two lattes.

"What did you want to discuss?"

Su Chen wasn't one for beating around the bush, asking directly.

"It's about Pei Man."

Pei Jian got straight to the point.

"Pei Man?"

Su Chen frowned slightly and asked, "What about her?"

"It's about her leg."

Pei Jian looked at Su Chen and said, "I know you're highly skilled in medicine. I hope you can treat her."

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's beyond my power," Su Chen said, shaking his head slightly.

"You can't heal her?"

Pei Jian's face darkened upon hearing Su Chen's words, his heart slowly sinking...

"It's not that I can't," Su Chen said lightly.

"Then what is it?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jian seemed to regain hope and quickly asked, "I know you are the Ghost Doctor, and your treatment doesn't come cheap. Name your price, no matter how much, I can pay."

"It's not a question of money," Su Chen once again shook his head, noticing that Pei Jian truly cared about his cousin, Pei Man.

Such sibling concern was exceedingly rare in big families!

For that reason, Su Chen looked at Pei Jian with newfound respect.

"If it's not money, then what's the problem?" Pei Jian asked anxiously, "Just tell me what it is, and I'll do everything I can to solve it."

"Don't get agitated, let me finish," Su Chen said, waving his hand slightly with a small smile.

"Okay, go ahead," Pei Jian said with an awkward smile, realizing he had been too excited just now.

"I had previously offered to treat her..."

"You had offered to treat her before?"

Su Chen's words were cut off by Pei Jian.

Then, with an awkward smile, he continued:

"Sorry, sorry, you go on, you go on."

Su Chen also helplessly frowned and went on:

"Right, I did propose, but she refused. She said I couldn't heal her, she said I could only treat illnesses, not save lives, and hers was a matter of life, not an illness."

"I could tell she seemed somewhat reluctant to have me treat her. Since she didn't want it, what could I do?"

After hearing Su Chen's words, Pei Jian fell silent for a moment, a trace of pity flashing across his face.

"I understand. I'll take over her job, but if she's willing, could you possibly..."

Pei Jian stood up and looked at Su Chen.

"Certainly!"

Without waiting for Pei Jian to finish, Su Chen nodded.

"Thank you!"

Pei Jian bowed deeply to Su Chen, said earnestly, and then left.

At that moment, the coffee the waiter had brought had just arrived, and Su Chen sat and finished his cup before leaving...

...

Meanwhile, in the far-off Ans Mountains, inside an office within a peculiar building, a man stood before Tang Gang.

"President, it has been confirmed, this mission has failed."

The man reported.

"It's as expected. I was hoping they would bring me some unexpected gains. Seems I was thinking too much."

Tang Gang showed no emotional fluctuations upon receiving the news.

If Su Chen was so easy to kill, he wouldn't be the King of the Underworld.

As for that father and son, dead is dead, there's no loss to lament.

"By the way, have you contacted the envoy? When is he arriving?"

Tang Gang suddenly asked.

"Contact has been made, time is uncertain. The envoy said, roughly a month or so."

The man responded immediately after Tang Gang's inquiry.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave."

Tang Gang waved him away.

After the man had left, Tang Gang swiftly pressed a button on the electronic screen on his desk:

"Ask Doctor George to come here."

Before long, a man in a white lab coat entered his digits and walked into Tang Gang's office.

"Doctor George, how many of the third generation Gene Modifiers have been produced?"

Tang Gang asked coldly.

"One hundred twenty-three."

George, facing Tang Gang's stern visage, replied shakily.

"And the progress of the fourth generation Gene Modifiers?"

"Still, still in the experimental phase, no breakthroughs yet."

George's cold sweat started to pour at this point.

"Bang!"

Tang Gang slammed the table and stood up:

"Have you forgotten what I told you? Either produce at least two hundred third generation Gene Modifiers by the end of the month or develop the fourth generation Gene Modifiers!"

"You haven't completed any task, how do you think I should punish you?"

Tang Gang's eyes were filled with a chill as he spoke.

"Thump!"

Doctor George fell to his knees on the spot:

"President, I've truly done my best. According to our earlier estimates, producing two hundred third generation Gene Modifiers within a year was already ambitious, and in this past month, our team has produced one hundred twenty-three, far exceeding our initial expectations."

"As for the fourth generation Gene Modifiers, they are much more complex than the previous ones. It's impossible in such a short time, President!"

"That's your problem! I only want results!"

Tang Gang replied coldly:

"There are still seventeen days left until the end of the month. You had better show me some results by then, or you know the consequences!"

"Yes, President!"

Doctor George left Tang Gang's office with a look of despair...
