Chereads / The Time Lord of the Metropolis / Chapter 16 - Full of Malice

Chapter 16 - Full of Malice

The black cat in the corner looked at Wu Hao warily and suspiciously.

Who is this guy after all? Has my identity been exposed?

Wu Hao had no idea what a cat was thinking, but suddenly he felt that this cat wasn't so annoying after all. Its appearance actually gave him an idea to scare Xu Shijin. Hey, why not catch this cat and keep it as a pet! ?

I suspect General Manager Xu is skeptical of what I said. How about we conduct a small experiment? Let's wait together for twenty days and see if Mr. Chen will die. What do you think? Wu Hao laughed maliciously.

Xu Shijin's face twitched.

Chen Xianhe just entered the hospital a couple of days ago. If he dies twenty days later, it means he is not far from death. Would he dare to conduct this experiment? Of course not!

No matter whether what Wu Hao said is true or false, he does not have the capital to try.

Xu Shijin staggered forward to drive the black cat out of the office. His movements were relatively gentle, as if he really believed in the absurd idea that it was the pet of the god of death. It wouldn't be worth it if he angered it and lost his life prematurely.

You just said you could help me, I wonder... What can you do to help me? Xu Shijin asked, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

He wanted to calm himself down, but he couldn't calm down at all when his life was in danger. Even though he knew that Wu Hao came to talk to him about this matter with malicious intent, he didn't care. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, it was fine, no matter who it came from.

I can give you time. Wu Hao said.

Time? "

"You only have one month left to live, the countdown will end with your certain death. But I can sell you time to extend your life. As long as you have money, I can offer you one year, two years, three years, or even ten years." "

Xu Shijin looked at Wu Hao strangely, and his originally anxious mood calmed down. He felt like he was facing a fraud, and not a very clever one at that. The moment he spoke, it was quite amusing.

Is time something that can be bought and sold? Even if it is possible, who knows if you are really buying time.

Do you think I'm a fraud? Wu Hao chuckled incredulously.

Xu Shijin didn't say anything, but the strange expression on his face had already betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Well, at that time, Mr. Chen's sons also thought I was a fraud." "

Wu Hao said, "You have business dealings with Xingrui and Donglun as well. Why don't you visit Mr. Chen in the hospital, ask him how he got his 'twenty days,' and then wait for twenty days to see if Mr. Chen will pass away peacefully." "

Xu Shijin still didn't say anything. His heart was struggling intensely. What Wu Hao said was too absurd. Any normal person wouldn't believe what he said. However, Wu Hao's casual attitude made him hold a glimmer of hope. If it was really possible to buy time with money, he would be willing to pay the price.

How do you want to spend your time? "Xu Shijin asked tentatively."

The price is not expensive, one hundred yuan per minute, starting from one year. "

"More than fifty million in a year?" "

Is it too expensive? "

Xu Shijin fell silent again. He didn't understand the value of time, but the price of one hundred yuan per minute didn't seem expensive. For the wealthy, being able to buy an extra year of life for fifty million was a very cost-effective deal. The problem was, he didn't have that much money.

Having been the general manager for only a year, the total sum of both the visible and hidden money does not exceed five million. Compared to the fifty million, it falls far short, unless... …

Unless he takes out the recent project funds from the company to cover it.

The project won't officially start until at least half a year later, so there is plenty of time to figure out how to make up for the project funds during this period.

General Manager Xu, take your time to consider, contact me if you need anything. "

Xu Shijin was thinking about how to make the deal, Wu Hao left a phone number and left, Xu Shijin followed in surprise.

I'll see you off. "

Is General Manager Xu also so polite to me? Wu Hao chuckled sarcastically.

Guests are always welcome. Xu Shijin responded with an awkward smile.

Wu Hao looked outside and the black cat was nowhere to be seen. His plan to catch it also came to nothing. He left Star Rui and took a taxi away.

Xu Shijin stood at the door watching Wu Hao's car drive away. Was what he said true or false? A year ago, he almost killed himself. A year later, he came back to help. Even if I know he might be back for revenge, can I really refuse his malicious help?

Xu Shijin picked up his phone and dialed the driver's number. Before the call was connected, he hung up and hailed a taxi to go to the hospital.

… …

Wu Hao sat in the back seat, with a mysterious smile on his face all the time.

The reason why he is not in a hurry to persuade him to accept his own deal is that he should really be in a hurry. The longer the time is delayed, the weaker Xu Shijin's reason will be. In the end, whether he believes it or not, he will come and trade with himself.

Apart from the project funds from Yuan Guang Electronics, he has no other source of funding. Yuan Guang Electronics, tsk tsk, what a coincidence.

Xu Shijin, Xu Shijin, this time it won't be so easy for you to survive in my hands.

Wu Hao's enigmatic smile was overlaid with a layer of coldness.

The driver glanced at Wu Hao through the rearview mirror, and the mysterious smile on the young man's face made him hesitate to speak for a while.

Where are you going? "

Golden brilliance and style. "

Oh. "

The driver remained silent all the way, and when he dropped him off at the entrance of the residential area and received the money, he left. The young man's demeanor made him feel like he was just a driver who shouldn't speak, even though he was indeed just a driver. This feeling was so damn strange.

With a flick of his coat over his shoulders, Wu Hao walked towards Xu Xinjie's house.

… …

Xinjie Xu was doing English exercises at home when Hao Wu's sudden appearance puzzled her.

Why are you back again? "

I'll come back to nap with you. Wu Hao smirked and put his arm around her waist as they entered the room.

I'm not taking a nap. Xu Xin gave him a white look, "Who asked you to nap with me? Why are you so outspoken? You can't talk to girls like that." "

Will you take a nap with me? "

Dream on! Xinjie Xu gave him a kick. This guy is really a bit naughty, his blatant attempt to take advantage of others is too obvious.

Wu Hao laughed and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

Are you ready to read a million-word novel at home this afternoon? "

"So what?" "

Why not go shopping? "

I didn't have much on my mind until my mother recovered from her illness. "

It's necessary to relax, why make it so difficult. Wu Hao played with her delicate hand and asked, "Hey, is your mother's illness difficult to cure or does it just require a lot of money?" "

With money, there is still a possibility of cure. "

How much more money is needed? "

I'm not sure about the exact amount. The doctor said it would probably cost around ten million. My dad has already used up all the savings at home, which should be around five to six million. If it's not enough, I'll sell you five more years of your time, Wu Hao. That should be enough. "

Wu Hao did not respond to her words, playing with her hand... …
