At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its highest, the sky was darkening at a visible speed. Thick clouds separated the sun and the sea, leaving only a blur of light and mist at the boundary between the sea and the sky.
Without the direct sunlight, the area around the giant steel ship traveling on the ocean suddenly became much cooler.
Not long after, a business jet penetrated the clouds, calibrated slightly in the air, and dived down towards the giant ship. The top deck became even busier, and the noise over there could be heard from dozens of meters away.
I don't know whether it was the air flow stirred by the business jet or the sea breeze that took advantage of the opportunity. Suddenly, a cold wind blew on his face. Yue Qi shivered unconsciously. Beside him, his son Yue Zheng simply sneezed.
Both of them were dressed casually. Yue Qi was also wearing a long-sleeved gown. Yue Zheng was just wearing a pair of beach shorts, with his upper body bare and a bath towel wrapped around his body.
Yue Zheng had played around in the swimming pool before, hanging out with the beautiful women who were sunbathing, but was forced back by the "bodyguards", still feeling resentful. If it hadn't been for that sneeze, he might have started an argument with the "bodyguard".
Of course, this "bodyguard" is by no means the old Liu who has been with his father for more than ten years, but someone temporarily assigned to him after arriving on this luxury cruise ship.
Yue Zheng was already thinking about asking Lao Liu to take action and teach this temporary worker a lesson to vent his anger.
The problem is that Lao Liu, who has always taken care of him, is now like a clay sculpture and a living tool behind his father.
As for Yue Qi himself, he didn't say anything about the behavior of the "temporary bodyguard". Instead, he turned around and scolded his son: "Look at what you are wearing! What is going on now? Others don't know, but don't you know it yourself?"
Yue Zheng was unhappy at first, but he got angry when he heard it: "What's wrong with me wearing this? Do you want me to come out in a hospital gown? You have to be satisfied with me lying in the ICU, right?"
Yue Qi was furious and wanted to kick this unscrupulous child away, but seeing that the child's cheeks were much thinner than half a year ago, the anger was suffocating in his chest.
At this moment, his bracelet vibrated. When he saw the name of the caller, Yue Qi couldn't get angry. He just stretched out his hand and tapped Yue Zheng twice to give a warning. Then he adjusted his mood, connected the signal, and his tone suddenly became gentle:
"Qinqin, are you in class over there? Why did you call me?
"Your brother? He's fine. He's heartless. He was messing around in the swimming pool just now. How can he have time to answer your call?"
After chatting with the caring little cotton-padded jacket for a few more words, Yue Qi's inner anger also subsided a lot. He turned around and reminded Yue Zheng proactively:
"Did you miss your sister's call?"
"What are you going to do? There are several a day. Are you afraid that the hospice care won't be able to catch up?"
"I……"
With his daughter over there, Yue Qi didn't say any curse words, but the kick finally came out, knocking Yue Zheng staggering.
Yue Zheng had already lost his temper during this time and was too lazy to respond. He turned around and spoke to the "temporary bodyguard" who had just brought him back:
"Is this how your volunteers are treated?"
The "temporary bodyguard" responded with indifference, wearing a standard black suit and sunglasses, without any creativity, and blocked all human reactions.
Yue Zheng has already begun to add drama to himself: "Look, after all, I'm just a guinea pig! Then don't let me out, it's better to put me in a cage!"
Yue Qi felt a pain in his heart. His daughter, who was far away across the ocean, was still on the phone. He couldn't worry her, so he could only console her calmly: "Forget it, just don't answer if you don't want to. He is nervous now and his whole body is twisted." . In fact, Dr. Clay’s technology is very mature..."
Speaking of these cliche words that were already familiar to everyone, Yue Qi's consciousness became a little dazed.
Since Yue Zheng was diagnosed with aberrant infection on New Year's Eve last year, Yue Qi has tried his best, used all the resources, and even abandoned his family and career in order to get his unlucky son back on the normal track of life. , and took Yue Zheng around the world to seek medical advice. But when things got tough, he still had to rely on these meaningless clichés for comfort.
As the head of a large regional pharmaceutical company, he knew more or less some information, and he truly believed in the research strength of Dr. Clay and his laboratory in the field of human body distortion and treatment.
However, since the era of distortion, the distortion infection itself has been a dangerous peak that may collapse at any time but is difficult to climb, not to mention the key node between the second phase and the third phase... In this field, 99% of the people in the world are Deaf and blind, besides blindly trusting this top research institute, who else can he count on?
These thoughts must not be known to his daughter under any circumstances, so Yue Qi forced a soothing tone: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't answer, there is still me... Do you want to see your brother's bearish look?"
With that said, he didn't care whether his children agreed or not, so he clicked on the video projection function, preparing for the brother and sister to meet and dilute the current bad atmosphere.
While still debugging, Yue Zheng next to him had a grimace on his face, apparently still feeling awkward.
But this matter does not depend on Yue Zheng, nor does it even depend on Yue Qi or Yue Qin, but is directly pronounced by the serious-faced "temporary bodyguard" next to him:
"It's time for routine physical examination."
While speaking, the "temporary bodyguard" directly made a gesture to invite him back.
"Haha, the little white mouse is going into the cage."
Yue Zheng was surprisingly cooperative this time. He sneered and turned back. He had already walked behind the "temporary bodyguard", but then turned back and patted the strong man on the chest:
"Soon I'll bite the cage open and run out."
The "temporary bodyguard" didn't respond at all. He still had a rude expression. He turned around and followed Yue Zheng, turning a blind eye to Yue Qi on the other side.
Yue Qi looked at this scene in a daze.
"Dad?" Yue Qin over there was confused.
"It's okay, your brother is going to have a medical check-up...don't worry, we'll contact you later."
After hastily hanging up the communication, Yue Qi took two steps forward to follow, but after a moment's thought, he let Lao Liu follow and take care of him first.
Old Liu hesitated: "Chairman?"
"It's okay, Xiao Zeng isn't far away, I just ask him to come over."
Yue Qi watched Yue Zheng and Lao Liu disappear from sight, then found a person's contact number and dialed it.
"Smith, it's me."
"Hey York, I was trying to get in touch with you."
As an important partner of Wuyue Pharmaceutical in the New World, Smith also has a very good personal relationship with Yue Qi. He immediately called him the nickname he gave Yue Qi without permission, unable to conceal his excitement: "Come here quickly, come to the exhibition hall first, today's scene It's great that Sakagi's little accident didn't affect this great trade fair.
"I saw a lot of big names, and they even arrived early. I originally thought that I would not be able to see these walking money and powers until after 20 o'clock."
Yue Qi was not in the mood to make fun of others now. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Smith, you know the current situation. I have to confirm it again..."
