“From the billion yuan, you’ll get a cut of one million yuan, is that correct?” Li Lin continued from what she had said previously.
“Yes.” Bai Chen nodded.
He had also lied about only receiving a million yuan cut.
The reason he had to lie was so that his story would be consistent. If he had said that the vaccine was his and he was receiving a billion yuan, she would not believe him.
Li Lin knew his family’s background. How could she believe that he owned such a vaccine?
It was quite inconceivable that he would be the owner of a vaccine that could cure GT-2.
“I knew that vaccine must not have been yours.” Li Lin nodded. She had lost interest completely. “We should just go home. We should prepare for the trip.”
“Mm-hmm,” Bai Chen agreed and smiled a little. He was so relieved that she had bought his fake explanation.
In his defense, it was not totally fake. There were just some modified facts.
“He Ling beach. I haven’t been there for a long time.” Li Lin got up off the chair. Her smile and big, cute, bright eyes glittered.
Bai Chen was in front of her. He could easily tell that she was excited. He shook his head slightly before thinking to himself, ‘He Ling beach. I have never been there before.’
In his previous life, he had decided against going to He Ling beach with the school because he did not want to waste his parents’ money.

They walked out of the classroom together and had reached the exit. Li Lin waved goodbye to Bai Chen before she hopped into her family’s luxury-brand car and went away.
Bai Chen lifted his hand to wave goodbye to her. Then, he prepared himself to carry on with Mission 22.
Actually, he had planned to complete this mission this evening. But he had not expected school would be over this early. Thus, he could get an early start.
Before Bai Chen called up Mission 22’s window to look at it, he suddenly remembered that since he had gotten to school, he still had not heard the news about Ao Song’s death.
‘The school must have covered it up,’ Bai Chen thought.
It was not odd for the school to try to keep the news a secret. If they let the rest of the students know that one of their schoolmates had been murdered, it would cause unnecessary fear.
Bai Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He called Mission 22’s window up to take a look.

[Mission 22: Change someone’s life]
Instruction: You need to change a person’s life. Their life is at its end. You need to save their life to change it.
Reward for success: Win 50 points and the highest degree of gratitude.
Penalty for failure: You will never live a happy life!

Bai Chen glanced at the mission’s information before looking at the green arrow.
“I’ll have to go even though there is no specific time.”
Bai Chen said this to himself while thinking that he could not fail Mission 22 under any circumstances. If he did, he would never have a happy life.
That was the penalty of this mission.
It was clear that Mission 22 was a high-stakes one. It would yield 50 points, but it was also very challenging as well.
Bai Chen followed the green arrow right away.
.....................
An hour later, Bai Chen arrived at a place quite far away.
There was a hospital. It was Xing Zhou’s general hospital. It was the biggest one in Xing Zhou. Everybody knew it very well.
After he got out of his cab, he stood still under a tree across from the hospital’s entrance.
There were cars driving in and out occasionally, and people walking by.
“It should be inside this hospital.” Bai Chen stared at the entrance of the hospital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince the green arrow had led him here, Bai Chen’s only guess was that the person whose life he needed to change was in there.
“I should go check inside,” Bai Chen murmured. He crossed the road to enter the hospital. He was still following the green arrow.
It took him around four to five minutes to arrive at a patient’s room on the third floor. It was room number 35.
“Qi Wang Fu.”
Bai Chen stared at the name posted on the door for a while. He lifted his hand to knock on the door.
But before he could do that, he heard a rather familiar voice.
“M... Mr. Bai Chen.”
He turned to look at the source of the voice to his side.
Bai Chen froze instantly when he turned to look. He saw a lady who was wearing a blue surgical mask and a medical gown. This lady was in excellent shape. He did not see her face clearly because the mask was covering it.
But not even the mask could hide her beauty. Her long black hair was tied with a hair tie. She was wearing a white t-shirt and a long black skirt under the gown.
Bai Chen recognized her instantly. It was Xu Xue Ning. He did not expect to meet her at this hospital after separating from her two days prior. And that he would accidentally meet her at a hospital in Xing Zhou.
“Who are you? What are you doing in my dad’s hospital room?”
An aggressive voice sounded. Bai Chen shifted his gaze towards the person next to Xu Xue Ning.
It was a middle-aged man with a concerned face. He had a thin mustache and was wearing simple clothes.
His eyes were fixed on Bai Chen, his brows furrowed while waiting for an answer from him.
