His gaze lingered on Xu Qian, just as it had before.
Come and go softly.
Mei Yuebai was completely bewildered.
Guan Weiyun raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "President Tang, please don't tease."
Xu Qian's identity was sensitive; the leaders of all major bases knew her. He didn't want to reveal it.
Tang Zhishen had many informants, so it was normal for him to notice; after all, it hadn't been deliberately hidden at Hope Base.
"Madam's abilities and combat strength are both top-tier. If President Guan is willing to let Madam stay by my side, I will give Hope Base one hundred doses of vaccine for free."
His voice was cold and languid, as if he were speaking unintentionally.
Each mention of "Madam" seemed to be a pronouncement of "my wife."
Guan Weiyun's eyes grew frigid. In the next moment, he could have uttered profanities.
One hundred doses of vaccine in exchange for Xu Qian?
He was dreaming.
Xiang Jintian capped his pen and spoke with uncharacteristic coldness, "President Tang, there's no need to embarrass yourself by speaking of taking another man's wife."
Mei Yuebai was stunned. Uncle Xiang actually spoke up for someone?
Logically, he wouldn't involve himself in such a matter.
Xu Qian's heart skipped a beat at his words. She raised her eyelashes and met the gaze of the man in uniform.
The emotion in his eyes was faint, devoid of any feeling.
Xu Qian looked away, unable to discern his thoughts.
"Everyone, no need to be nervous. I don't need Madam to stay with me forever. Three months, just three months, and I promise not to touch a single hair on Madam's head."
Veins bulged on Guan Weiyun's forehead. If he weren't the leader of the Tang family's base, if he weren't Tang Zhishen, he would have burned him to ashes already.
Suddenly, his palm was gently pried open.
She had written two characters.
"I'll go."
Guan Weiyun grabbed her hand, stopping her from writing more.
He would absolutely not let his woman go to another man.
Xu Qian lightly withdrew her hand and wrote three characters on his hand.
"For the base."
Guan Weiyun froze, momentarily speechless.
Two hundred doses of vaccine would only last two months.
The mortality rate at Hope Base was too high, especially with the recent zombie tide. He couldn't even remember how many ability users had died.
But would one hundred doses of vaccine make a difference?
The vaccine was important, but Xu Qian was also important.
Tang Zhishen glanced indifferently at the now silent Guan Weiyun.
"How about this, I'll offer two hundred doses. That's enough sincerity, isn't it?"
At this moment, Guan Weiyun wavered. Three months, just three months. With Xu Qian's combat prowess, no one could harm her.
Xu Qian herself was willing...
"Alright, I agree."
A clear, cool female voice rang out.
Mei Yuebai's eyes widened. He could barely control his body from jumping up, but he was firmly restrained.
It was Xu Qian!
Xu Qian's voice!
How had she become Guan Weiyun's wife!
"A Bai, calm down."
Mei Yuebai took a deep breath, finally managing to compose himself.
He stared intently at the woman opposite him, not wanting to shift his gaze for a second.
"Good. If Madam agrees, we will sign the contract. Two hundred doses of vaccine will be delivered to President Guan immediately."
Guan Weiyun lowered his head, unable to utter a single word.
He disagreed...
He disagreed...
"Alright."
Guan Weiyun watched them sign the contract, the words "I disagree" never leaving his lips.
For Hope Base, for the ability users of Hope Base.
Four hundred doses of vaccine, and they wouldn't turn into mindless zombies anymore...
"Then it starts tomorrow. Madam, you and President Guan have a good reunion. We'll inspect the vaccines this afternoon."
Tang Zhishen patted Guan Weiyun's stiffened shoulder and turned to leave the conference room.
After he left, the scene in the conference room became frozen.
Xu Qian smiled faintly.
Three mission objectives in one space... truly suffocating.
