Chapter 943: What Did You Eat?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao sat there alone for two minutes before Yuan Tianxing and the others walked in. Wu Chengyue was offered a guest seat, while Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng surely wouldn’t take the seat in the middle. It was saved for Lin Qiao, who hadn’t shown up yet. The two of them sat into the seats aside.
They didn’t know that Lin Qiao was sitting there since long ago.
Wu Chengyue glanced at empty seat in the middle. None of the others noticed the meaningful look in his eyes.
Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng thought Lin Qiao would be expecting them in the conference room. However, they came in to find the room empty, which made them feel strange.
Xie Dong walked to Yuan Tianxing and whispered a few words to him. After hearing that, he nodded knowingly. Then, he said to Wu Chengyue, “I think our Chief is not free enough to welcome you in person. Hope you don’t mind, Chief Wu.”
With a faint smile, Wu Chengyue responded, “Of course, I don’t mind.” He wasn’t surprised at all.
Yuan Tianxing opened the files and started talking to him about those underground gorillas.
Lin Qiao sat there quietly, listening to their conversation. Except for Xie Dong and Wu Chengyue, no one sensed her presence.
“Those creatures are invincible. They’re immune to all poisons, and no superpower or weapon can hurt them. Bombs managed to deliver a little effect, but only a little. We couldn’t kill them with bombs either,” Lin Feng wore a serious face once he started talking about those underground creatures.
“They are afraid of the sunlight. We’ve tried many ways to lure them into the sunlight, but they are so sneaky that they seem to guess out what we want. During the daytime, they usually hide deep underground. Our men brought some mutated animals into the cave to lure them, but none of those animals managed to make it out of the cave. Those creatures wouldn’t show up if we left the baits by the entrance.”
“Have these creatures been found in any other area?” Wu Chengyue asked.
“Not yet,” Lin Feng and the others shook their heads.
Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “I get it. Get ready. We’ll head to the nearest entrance and take a look tonight.”
Those creatures wouldn’t come out during the daytime, so he decided to go and meet them at night. He wanted to know if the lightning strike could hurt them or not.
“Tonight? Will it be too dangerous?” Yuan Tianxing looked at him and hesitated.
“Is level-seven their highest level so far?” Wu Chengyue asked.
Lin Feng nodded.
Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then said, “It’ll be fine. I won’t start a war against them. Perhaps I can bring back a lower leveled one for research.”
Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing glanced at each other. They had tried to do that, but it was not as easy as they thought. As a result, they couldn’t catch any of them. It was risky to try and catch an underground creature at night, and those creatures hid deep underground during the daytime.
After the meeting, Wu Chengyue brought Wu Yueling to the medical department to see Lin Hao.
“She looks much better than before,” Lin Hao first noticed Wu Yueling, who was carried in her father’s arms. She quietly buried her face in his father’s chest, with her arms around his neck.
Wu Chengyue sighed and said, “Really? She’s still afraid of strangers. She doesn’t like crowded places, and she can’t leave my side in a strange place.”
That was why he let the little girl sit on his knees during the meeting. He felt that the others were looking at him in a strange way, even though they all tried to conceal it.
“It’s already not bad that her condition didn’t get worse. Don’t be greedy,” Lin Hao said to him.
It required a long time to cure such kind of mental illness. It couldn’t possibly be fixed within a month. Lin Hao was right; the little girl stayed quiet with her arms around her father’s neck, which was already impressive. She might become emotional if her condition worsened.
“I know,” Wu Chengyue sighed.
Lin Hao sat down behind his desk, then said to him, “You’re not here just to let me see your daughter, are you? You don’t need me for her condition. You have doctors in your base too, don’t you?”
Wu Chengyue shook his head and said, “It’s not me who needs to see you. It’s her.”
Lin Hao looked at him confusedly, “Her? Who?”
Wu Chengyue didn’t answer his question but looked at his desk.
With confusion, Lin Hao turned and glanced at the surface of his desk. Nothing seemed to be wrong on that desk. He turned back to Wu Chengyue, but before he said anything, he heard a few clicks from behind him.
He twirled to the desk and saw a pen stand up on his desk, starting to write on his scrubbing pad.
Lin Hao was shocked. Was his office haunted? Wasn’t he living in a scientific era?
Soon, he saw the pen write down a line on the notebook—’It’s me. You know who I am.’
The familiar handwriting…
Damn! That was his elder sister’s handwriting…
“So, why are you invisible now? Are you playing around with me?” Lin Hao glared at that floating pen and said with discontentment.
Lin Qiao wrote—’You think I want this? I didn’t mean for this to happen, but it happened, suddenly. Okay, cut the crap and give the baby a check-up. You will be surprised.”
“How am I supposed to do that? You’re invisible now,” Lin Hao read her note and then said bewilderedly.
Lin Qiao put the pen on the desk, then walked up to Lin Hao and grasped his hand before gently putting it on her own belly. Lin Hao popped his eyes when he touched his sister’s belly. “Damn! It’s so large already?”
Then, he put the other hand on Lin Qiao’s belly to feel its shape. Others might think that he was touching air, but Wu Chengyue knew exactly what was happening.
He fought hard against the jealousy in his heart, saying to himself,?‘He’s a doctor… he’s a doctor… he’s a doctor…’
While feeling his sister’s round belly with both hands, Lin Hao said with disbelief, “What have you eaten? How come she suddenly grew so large? It has only been a month. What happened?”
As Lin Hao had touched every corner of her belly, Lin Qiao slapped off his hands, then walked back to the desk and wrote—’Viney said that my energy isn’t enough for her anymore, so she started to absorb her father’s energy. That’s why I’ve been staying together with Wu Chengyue this whole month.’
After reading the note, Lin Hao automatically turned and gave Wu Chengyue a glance. He seemed to be perfectly healthy.
Wu Chengyue raised his eyebrows and looked back at him in the eyes.
Lin Hao looked at him from head to toe, then asked him, “Aren’t you having any problems?”
The little freak had absorbed so much energy from her mother that her mother had even turned invisible, but how come her father seemed to be fine while she was absorbing his energy? The baby was growing fast. She should have absorbed a good amount of energy from her father.
“Should I be having some kind of problem?” Wu Chengyue was a little confused. He was fine, except for the fact that he always wanted to stay longer in bed lately.
