Chapter 1981: Just This Once, Be Gentle 1
"They injected many things into Nan Yi’s body, tormenting him terribly.
Finally, he died.
After Nan Yi’s death, the experts informed me of the situation when it was already too late to reverse.
I disbanded the team and ordered someone to handle Nan Yi’s corpse.
But five hours after he had died, he suddenly came back to life, and his body mutated, becoming astonishingly fast and powerful!
Nan Yi killed all the people I sent to deal with the corpse and tracked down all the experts from the team and killed them.
He thought I was the one who ordered the human research, and he’s been harboring resentment against me ever since."
The sequence of events basically unfolded this way, yet Lu Hualiang recounted it with an air of nonchalance.
But Xia Weibao knew that it was surely a very painful time.
What immense torment must Nan Yi have endured to mutate like that??
And how many died afterward, leading to the two major organizations turning against each other!
"Then why didn’t you explain?"
Since Lu Hualiang was unaware from start to finish, why didn’t he explain to Nan Yi.
"Why should I explain? It was indeed I who had Nan Yi captured, and I who assembled the expert team; his hatred of me is justified.
Those experts were all Yanxia Group’s top talents; although their behavior of experimenting on living humans was insane, where do people from the Underworld find so many principles?
In the eyes of others, they were excessive, but to Yanxia Group, they were treasures beyond monetary measure, only to be killed by Nan Yi; this account cannot be settled just like that.
Since we’re already enemies, he can think whatever he wants; what do I have to fear from him!"
Xia Weibao opened her mouth, looking at the disdainful man, suddenly unsure of what to say.
Indeed, she had known for a thousand years that he was not the type to explain himself.
It seemed that, except for her, he never explained to anyone.
With great solemnity, Xia Weibao gripped his hand and said, "Don’t worry, hubby, I will definitely cure Nan Yi!"
She knew him too well; even though he didn’t say it, he probably felt guilty about what happened with Nan Yi years ago.
Otherwise, given his domineering personality, why merely banish Nan Yi from the main villa, rather than expelling him from Lu Garden?
Lu Hualiang, "..."
His wife, admitting openly to him that she’d definitely cure another man, a rival no less; is this really okay?
He irritably yanked at his tie, feeling overheated.
"It’s scorching."
The rage inside was almost consuming him!
Thinking about how Nan Yi was right under his nose, and for a long time they would be seeing each other frequently, made his anger flare even more.
He frantically removed his tie, threw it aside, and unbuttoned a few buttons to breathe.
The more he thought, the more frustrated he became; his wife was pregnant, yet she wanted to treat that damned Nan’s sickness!
He fixated on Xia Weibao’s belly, already showing at five months, not very large, but not obvious with loose clothing.
Inside her were three little ones, such hard work.
He wished she would set aside Nan Yi’s affairs and focus on giving birth first.
Yet if he said it directly, he’d fear her refusal.
She was actually very stubborn, hard to sway once she made up her mind.
So Director Lu decided to appeal to emotion and logic, using the children as leverage.
One arm wrapped around her waist, the other gently caressed her belly, "How many months?"
He knew it was five months, just wanted to open the topic.
However, in Xia Weibao’s ears, it took on a different meaning.
