Chapter 149 Harmony

ywhere unharmed. Don’t worry, apart from getting rid of a few armed supervisors from the Su family, I didn't kill any innocent people."“Well done.”Hanging up the phone, Wang Zheng looked at Shangguan...Chapter 149: Affectionate

Hearing Wang Fanghe's reply, Wang Zheng couldn't help but苦笑and said, "I knew you'd understand. Are my every move under your surveillance Old and unyielding, it's almost demonic."

Shangguan Zhen had inexplicably fainted, with all his physical examination results—breathing rate, heart rate, etc.—showing normal readings, yet he remained in a state of unconsciousness from which he couldn't wake up. Shangguan Family had sought the advice of renowned doctors both domestically and internationally but to no avail.

However, Shangguan Zhen's coma provided an opportunity for Shangguan Shishi, this talented maiden, to showcase her talents. The colossal warship of Giant Fusion International Group didn't sink at all; rather, it sliced through waves with a more ferocious posture.

As for Shangguan Zhen’s illness, Wang Zheng was equally helpless. In his eyes, only one person might be able to cure Shangguan Zhen's strange ailment—this man known as the 'Toxic Doctor.'

In Wang Zheng's view, the old man not appearing for so long must have had his reasons; perhaps he was researching somewhere on special tactics. However, what Wang Zheng didn't expect was that despite focusing solely on training special forces, nothing escaped this elderly man’s watchful eye.

"You cured him" Wang Zheng asked dubiously, though in truth, if anyone could cure Shangguan Zhen's strange ailment, Wang Zheng would only believe it to be the old man. This wasn't blind worship of the elder but rather, after long-term interaction, Wang Zheng had a near-fanatical trust in this elderly man's abilities.

Wang Fanghe nodded: "Shangguan Zhen was poisoned."

"Poisoned Not an illness" The expression on Wang Zheng’s face instantly became stern. "What kind of poison could evade detection by all those advanced instruments"

Wang Zheng knew that if Shangguan Zhen had simply fallen ill, it would have been one thing, but the old man saying someone poisoned him made this situation much more complex.

To silently poison Shangguan Zhen meant that Shangguan Shishi was certainly in danger. Thinking of this critical point, Wang Zheng's eyes couldn't help narrowing.

Since arriving in the capital, although Shangguan Shishi initially showed no favor to him, over time and after experiencing many things together, Wang Zheng and Shangguan Shishi had evolved from sparring partners into close comrades and friends. Even a hint of ambiguous affection that neither could clearly articulate or sense developed between them.

Given Wang Zheng's protective nature, he would absolutely not allow anyone to harm those whom he cared about; this was non-negotiable.

"It's a new type of synthetic poison, which combines highly toxic neurological drugs like Trazodone and Avortrin through fusion reactions. Then, it incorporates several traditional Chinese herbs that affect the nervous system to create this poison capable of turning living people into the living dead. I had to try many times before I could just barely decipher it. Moreover, I don't know if there will be any lingering effects. If I hadn't intervened a month ago, this synthetic toxin would have taken root in Young Master Shangguan's nervous system by now. By then, even神仙couldn't save him."

Wang Fanhé’s voice was also serious: "With such out-of-the-box thinking and creativity, the person who concocted this poison is either a genius or a madman."

Hearing what the old man said, Wang Zheng squinted his eyes even harder. No wonder he couldn't find the reason for Young Master Shangguan's poisoning; it turned out to be neurotoxicity. Furthermore, hearing the old man’s account, he realized that manufacturing such a synthetic poison was extremely difficult. This increased Wang Zheng's estimation of how dangerous their opponent was.

He had no clue who poisoned Young Master Shangguan.

Wang Fanhé said: "This toxin is colorless and odorless, and it easily evaporates; only large amounts inhaled would be dangerous. Therefore, I think only one of Young Master Shangguan's close associates could have had the chance to do this."

After a pause, Wang Fanhé continued: "You can investigate the people around him and search his office; you might get some unexpected results."

"If you want no one to know, don't do it. In this world, as long as something is done by humans, there will always be evidence." Looking ahead, Wang Fanhé didn’t seem to imply anything with these words.

“This young lady is Zhang Xiaoci’s daughter, isn’t she” Wang Fanhé asked while looking at the quiet Zhang Mingqi sitting beside him.

"Yes, Grandpa. How did you figure it out" Zhang Mingqi was somewhat curious that this person could tell her identity at a glance.

“Haha, you call me grandpa.” Wang Fanhé laughed heartily: "By seniority, you should indeed call me grandpa. You brat, listen to how polite your little girlfriend is; if you ever call me grandpa, I won't regret dying."

"Old man, don’t be so blunt with your words; you need to watch what you say," Wang Zheng glared fiercely at the old man.

But Zhang Mingqi was blushing furiously when she heard Wang Fanhé call her "Wang Zheng's little girlfriend." She didn't know how to respond and felt awkward. However, Zhang Mingqi didn’t realize that listening to the old man’s words made her secretly pleased; she wished he would tease them some more.

"I could tell right away. Your expressions are just like Hui Xin's," Wang Fanhé said after closely examining Zhang Mingqi: "They're really alike."

"My mother" Zhang Mingqi immediately asked. Whenever she heard her mother's name over the years, Zhang Mingqi would become very agitated.

Su Huixin was Su Fuhua's niece. In those days, due to falling in love with Zhang Xiaoci, a poor young man, she had been kicked out of home. It was said that after giving birth to Zhang Mingquan, she bled to death due to postpartum hemorrhage; however, the truth was that it was a scheme by the Su family to get rid of her, which led Zhang’s brother and sister to spend their childhood without maternal love.

"Your mother was also famous for being beautiful in Beijing back then. You look very much like her, both of you are so pretty." Seeing this topic was rather heavy, Wang Fahan immediately changed the subject: "Brat, when do you and Mingqi plan to give me a great-grandson I promise to train him into the strongest special forces soldier on Earth."

"Cut it out, old man. Even if I have a son, I will certainly not let you spoil him. Haven’t you spoiled my child’s father enough already" Upon hearing about the world's best special forces soldier, Wang Zheng retorted in an ill-humor.

However, Zhang Mingqi blushed again. It couldn't be denied that this extremely sexy beauty became even more alluring when she was shy.

Seeing this, Wang Fahan laughed heartily.

...

The father of Chinese special forces, Wang Fahan, did not drink together with Wang Zheng as he had previously planned. He had other important matters to attend to when returning to the base. Giving Wang Zheng a deadline of half a year was also giving himself one. Building the world's best special forces soldier was Wang Fahan's ideal and lifelong pursuit. When others shattered his dream, he would have to bring it back to life with his own hands.

Wang Fahan was an obstinate person, just like Wang Zheng. Having Wang Zheng return to Beijing meant that most of the conditions were already ripe. Working as a bodyguard at the Shang family was merely a trigger, one that would unleash Wang Zheng's potential and elevate him to unprecedented heights.

Standing downstairs, Zhang Mingqi smiled invitingly: "Since I didn’t eat anything today, why don’t you come up for some food before leaving"

With such an incredibly sexy beauty right next to him, Wang Zheng naturally did not wish to leave so soon. Thus, he teased: "Do you want me to carry you upstairs this time"

Last time when Zhang Mingqi was drunk and depressed, the elevator broke at home, and she had been carried back by Wang Zheng to the 24th floor. However, whether or not Wang Zheng took advantage of that opportunity remained a mystery; Zhang Mingqi firmly believed he hadn’t. She trusted his character, although many people thought otherwise.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingqi hesitated for a moment before saying seriously: "No need to. Twenty-something floors… I'm afraid you’ll get tired."

"Hehe, but I'm not afraid of getting tired!" Looking at Zhang Mingqi's slightly flushed face, Wang Zheng felt an urge to bite her.

Taking advantage of the moment when Zhang Mingqi wasn't prepared, Wang Zheng slipped one arm under her armpit and another behind her knee. With just a little effort, he lifted Zhang Mingqi up in his arms!

"Ah!" Zhang Mingqi hadn't expected that Wang Zheng would use such a move and let out an exclamation of surprise. She lost her balance and instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around Wang Zheng's neck.

"Wang Zheng, what are you doing" Although she was surprised by Wang Zheng's behavior, Zhang Mingqi didn't seem angry at all.

"Last time I carried you on my back. This time it’s a hug – an embrace like a princess." With his arms tight around her, Wang Zheng lifted Zhang Mingqi up and down slightly before saying, "You should eat more food in the future. From your appearance, you weigh only about 50 kilograms."

"Alright then, every man is no good; they’re all perverts," replied Zhang Mingqi, half yielding but also resisting at the same time. In her heart, she secretly felt a bit pleased by Wang Zheng's domineering actions.

From an ordinary man’s perspective of beauty, Zhang Mingqi was indeed extremely sexy. Even though it was already late autumn and she wore thick woolen windbreaker clothes, Wang Zheng could still feel from his palms the indescribable tactile sensation coming from her body. This feeling immediately caused him to become distracted, coupled with Zhang Mingqi's face which could charm most men into submission, made the flame of desire in Wang Zheng’s lower abdomen flare up.

At this moment, Zhang Mingqi was too busy blushing and beating a hasty retreat to notice anything unusual about Wang Zheng. Her face pressed against his chest as she felt the power of his pectoral muscles and the vigorous heartbeat beneath them, causing her to momentarily feel dazed.

Wang Zheng carried Zhang Mingqi step by step up the stairs; the process was very steady, and his arms didn’t even sway once. This gave Zhang Mingqi a sense of security she had never felt before.

The weather at the end of autumn was already quite chilly. While standing outside and feeling the wind earlier, Zhang Mingqi had felt as if her body would be chilled through by it. But now that Wang Zheng was holding her in his arms with her body curled up against him, she could feel the warmth seeping through his thick clothes to her skin, which made her feel a sense of comfortable warmth, dispelling all coldness.

Thinking about what was going to happen in the future, Zhang Mingqi suddenly whispered softly: "I suddenly have this feeling of relying on each other for survival."
