106: Chapter 106 The Damaged Zero Egg, Wang Shuo's Arrangement

When Wang Shuo arrived at the Hospital carrying the battered zero egg, he saw Chen Xin waiting at the entrance from afar.

He paused for a moment before walking over.

"Chen Xin."

Not Miss Chen, nor the young lady Chen Xin, but simply calling her Chen Xin.

This was the first time Wang Shuo had addressed her that way, which made Chen Xin feel a bit unaccustomed, yet at the same time, she felt a sense of relief.

"Mm." Chen Xin nodded. Seeing Wang Shuo's disheveled state, a flicker of sympathy crossed her face: "Go inside and get bandaged up quickly; I've already arranged for a doctor."

"The Boss, he..." Wang Shuo's voice was low.

"He is still in the ICU undergoing emergency treatment."

Wang Shuo nodded and then handed over the zero egg he was holding.

The two shadows that had blocked the bullets for him earlier were the Boss and zero egg. In fact, if it hadn't been for zero egg's incredible speed in helping Wang Shuo and Zheng Jun block most of the frontal gunfire, it would be questionable whether Zheng Jun would even be lying in the ICU right now; he likely would have already met his end.

The result of this was that zero egg was covered in wounds, its outer shell pierced, and many of the internal components and the Chip were damaged, making it look truly horrific.

"This was originally a gift for you, but I broke it." Wang Shuo expressed his apology: "I will go back and build another one for you."

"I was the one who told it to help you." Chen Xin's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, seemingly puzzled: "Although I didn't expect it to actually understand."

Wang Shuo understood.

The situation was critical at the time. Apart from Zheng Jun, who was big and tall and running ahead, Chen Xin and Liu Yemei couldn't actually run very fast. So, Chen Xin had no choice but to try anything as a last resort, telling zero egg to protect Wang Shuo first. As for whether zero egg could understand the word "protect," that wasn't within Chen Xin's consideration at the time.

If it had been some other artificial idiot, Wang Shuo and Zheng Jun would already be dead by now.

Fortunately, inside zero egg was Zero.

"Can she be repaired?" Chen Xin looked at the zero egg in her hands and asked softly.

"Naturally." Wang Shuo nodded: "I was able to build it, so I can repair it, and I can even make it better."

"That's good." Chen Xin smiled; this was the first time she had smiled from the bottom of her heart: "She saved you, so from now on, she is a 'she.' Don't call it 'it' anymore."

Watching Chen Xin's smile, Wang Shuo also smiled: "Alright, I'll listen to you. You can even name her."

"I can name her?" Chen Xin looked surprised, then said with great anticipation: "Then I'll call her Mia, the guardian of the anime world."

Her smile was like a flower, truly beautiful.

"Chen Xin."

Wang Shuo said suddenly.

"What?"

Chen Xin snapped out of her imagination and asked.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look beautiful when you smile?"

In that instant, Wang Shuo seemed to see a rosy flush appear on Chen Xin's face. That must have... been a rosy flush, right?

...

The bandaging process was painful, especially for someone who had been stabbed several times.

"I really don't understand. You were so severely injured, yet you didn't come to the Hospital immediately and instead were running around. Fortunately, for some unknown reason, your muscles contracted and clamped the wounds, so there wasn't much bleeding. Otherwise, you would have been wheeled in on a stretcher by now."

Facing the doctor's reprimand, Wang Shuo could only smile bitterly.

His muscles could contract? He had experienced this during the fight today; the pain was only instantaneous. After two or three seconds, the pain would rapidly subside, and the bleeding would also be greatly reduced. This was what allowed him to hold out for so long under the blade of The Black-robed Man and even attempt a counterattack.

Was this also caused by the brain enhancement? Could the brain control muscles?

Temporarily suppressing these thoughts, Wang Shuo looked up at Liu Yemei, who had just walked in.

"How is the Boss doing now?"

"He is still in emergency treatment," Liu Yemei replied: "But there's no need to worry too much; there is no immediate danger to his life. It's just that the bullets from the homemade guns are quite fragmented and difficult to remove, so it will take some time."

"That's good."

Wang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no danger to his life, it was fine.

As soon as his mind relaxed, a sharp, delayed pain surged, causing him to gasp.

Liu Yemei frowned as she watched: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Wang Shuo took a breath: "Compared to the Boss's injuries, these are nothing."

Thinking of the Boss lying in the ICU and that self-sacrificing leap, Wang Shuo's eyes turned cold. If anything happened to the Boss, he swore that even if he had to scour the heavens and earth, he would find The Black-robed Man and the scum behind him and make them pay a sufficient price.

He pondered for a moment.

"Assistant Liu." Wang Shuo controlled his breathing to avoid gasping and said in as flat a tone as possible: "How much money do we have on the books?"

"There is still over 16 million. This includes the debt you need to repay to Miss Chen, as well as the company's operating expenses." Liu Yemei answered skillfully. Although the company's finances were under the management of Xu Kexin, firstly, the company had not yet gotten on the right track and was still in preparation; secondly, Liu Yemei didn't quite trust Xu Kexin, so the financial side had always been managed by Liu Yemei herself.

"The debt won't be repaid for now," Wang Shuo said: "I will give you a list later. Please prepare some raw materials according to the list, and also..."

Wang Shuo took another breath and said: "I will also give you a technical list. Please find a few processing plants and upstream raw material factories that want to cooperate. Remember, the contract must be written clearly: it must be strictly according to our technical standards. Anything that doesn't meet the standards will be considered a breach of contract. We will terminate the cooperation and they must pay a huge penalty. Make them think clearly."

Liu Yemei noted it all down. This was the first time Wang Shuo had seriously assigned her work.

"Also, find a high-tech factory in the suburbs of W City, the kind that is about to go bankrupt. Cut the Gordian knot and acquire them."

Liu Yemei frowned and reminded him: "Such enterprises are not easy to find, and even if found, the cost might be very high."

"Then expand the scope. Near the Magic City is also fine. There is only one condition: the transportation must be good, and it must be sparsely populated. No matter how much money it costs, we must acquire it."

Liu Yemei did not object again. Although she didn't know what Wang Shuo was going to do, it seemed that a major move was about to happen.

"If we do this, our company's cash flow might break."

Wang Shuo was silent for a moment, then said ruthlessly: "Find venture capital."

"But venture capital firms might not invest in a small company like ours, especially since our company currently has no business, and neither the value-added potential nor the premium meets venture capital standards," Liu Yemei reminded him dutifully.

"We will have it soon," Wang Shuo said: "When the time comes, whether we agree to let them invest will be up to us."

Where did Wang Shuo get this confidence?

Liu Yemei frowned in thought, discovering that the existing information was not enough to support her in analyzing the result.

"One last thing."

Wang Shuo's eyes were cold.

"Go and coordinate with the police. As the victim, I hope the police can identify the four individuals as soon as possible."

"Also, in view of the technical difficulties the police may encounter during this period, you will represent me in negotiating cooperation matters with the police. If possible, I hope to reconstruct the Eagle Eye System of W City."
