Upon returning to Eagertown, Glenn reunited with his family and immediately focused on his plan to develop a vaccine. With support from Dao, he knew he couldn’t afford to lose the trust of influential people in Yuhan. After taking a day or two to rest, Glenn arranged a meeting with Victor, Yvonne, and Hazel. Hazel needed to be involved in the discussion, as she was inevitably part of the issue."Those important people in Yuhan will definitely ask about the proposal and what kind of vaccine you’re going to make, Glenn," Victor said. "They won’t agree to collaborate without knowing anything.""Yes, I’ve thought about that. Sooner or later, they’ll demand certainty," Glenn nodded.Yvonne sighed softly, sipping a cup of cold chamomile tea as her mind raced. She was also worried after learning that the virus Mason planned to spread could wipe out a significant portion of the world’s population."Can’t we make an offer to Mr. Zhang?" Yvonne asked. "Maybe he’ll stop making the virus if money
It seems Victor’s prediction that Mason would find out about the vaccine Glenn was planning to create was spot on. Two weeks after Glenn sent the collaboration proposal and vaccine to Dao and Yuen, the two leaders sought Mr. Zhang’s opinion. Naturally, Mr. Zhang immediately contacted Mason to show him the vaccine formula Glenn had provided to Dao. This made Mason feel even more triumphant; he couldn’t believe how foolish Glenn was."What do you think, Mason? Should I say that Glenn’s vaccine is incompetent? Dao will end the collaboration, and Glenn won’t get anything," Mr. Zhang said during their video call.Mason, sitting with his chin resting on his hand, shook his head slowly. "No, just say it’s a decent vaccine. Dao will feel safe collaborating with Glenn."Hearing this, Mr. Zhang was puzzled. Didn’t Mason want to destroy Glenn? Why was he now seemingly supporting Glenn to move forward and create the vaccine?"Did I hear you right?" Mr. Zhang asked for clarification."Oh, you don’
168Glenn stepped off the private jet and walked towards two figures waiting at the edge of the runway. Victor followed closely behind, quickly matching Glenn’s stride."So those are Dao’s people?" Victor whispered.Glenn gave a brief nod. "Yeah, that’s them."Two months after leaving Yuhan, Glenn received an invitation from Dao, who wanted him to return to the city. As Glenn had anticipated, Dao wanted to discuss the vaccine project in more detail and finalize the collaboration contract."Mr. Glenn, Mr. Victor, welcome to Yuhan," greeted Dao’s representative politely."Thank you," Glenn replied with a short nod."Mr. Dao is on his way to the meeting place at the Tang Mien Lan Hotel. We have prepared a suite for you there to rest.""Excellent," Victor responded.They got into the limo that was waiting for them, everything about it exuding luxury. Glenn could feel that Dao's influence was much greater than Mr. Zhang’s, which meant he had to be very careful dealing with this high-rankin
"Come on, sit down quickly, dessert will be served," Dao chuckled as Glenn and Victor re-entered the VIP room.As they sat down, Yuen whispered something to Dao, and they both smiled. Dao cleared his throat and steered the conversation in a more serious direction."So, Glenn, how’s the progress on the vaccine we’re developing?" Dao asked, glancing at Mr. Zhang. "I’ve already asked for his opinion on the potential of your vaccine. He said it’s very promising.""Oh, did he?" Glenn turned to Mr. Zhang. "I wasn’t aware of that.""Is it really that good, Zhang? Don’t fool me," Dao laughed heartily, but his laughter carried a hint of warning for Mr. Zhang not to mess around."I wouldn’t joke about a vaccine," Mr. Zhang replied. "What Glenn is developing is indeed top-notch. He’s shared his noble intentions with me, so why would I lie?"Dao nodded. "Yes, I was just kidding. No need to take it seriously, Zhang.""What percentage of the vaccine have you produced, Glenn? If you don’t mind shari
Mr. Zhang returned home, feeling resentful and vengeful. As soon as he entered his study, he swept everything off his desk with his hands, causing all the items to crash to the floor. Mr. Zhang's subordinate, who was about to enter the study, stood at the doorway, not daring to disturb the angry professor."I will destroy them. Dao, Yuen, all of you! You've always looked down on me!" Mr. Zhang's teeth clenched, and his fists tightened.Mr. Zhang certainly could not match Dao's power or Yuen's wealth, even though he was well-off himself. However, with the virus in his possession, the professor could eliminate both men. He could make them suffer from illness and then disappear from the world forever."Professor," the subordinate called out cautiously."What?" snapped Mr. Zhang, feeling annoyed."There's something we need to show you, sir.""Can't it wait? I'm busy!"The subordinate tried to remain persuasive with a gentle approach. "Sir, this is quite important and concerns Mr. Glenn's
“Hello, Glenn. Sorry to bother you,” Mr. Zhang started the conversation politely, but his tone revealed his anxiety. “There’s something I need to ask you. It's very important.”“What about, Mr. Zhang?”“Did Hazel ever tell you anything? Maybe she overheard something while she was staying here?”“At your place?” Glenn was fishing for information, suspecting Mr. Zhang had finally reviewed the surveillance footage. But Glenn maintained a nonchalant demeanor.“Yes, at my place,” Mr. Zhang replied.“No, not at all. Everything was fine.”There was a brief silence between them, and Victor quickly approached Glenn, curious. The professor’s call was highly suspicious.“Here’s the thing, Glenn. On my surveillance camera, it seems Hazel was eavesdropping. This isn't an accusation, but her behavior was quite clear. Can you ask her what she heard?” Mr. Zhang said. The middle-aged man continued, “I don't want Hazel to hear things that aren't her business. This is just a precaution.”“Wait, you mean
Glenn returned to Eagertown promptly after ensuring with Dao that their partnership agreement would be signed within three months. Naturally, Hazel welcomed him warmly, having missed him dearly.After reuniting intimately, they lay together wrapped in a blanket, with Hazel nestled in Glenn’s embrace.“Mr. Zhang won’t bother you or us, will he, love?” Hazel asked, still looking anxious. “I’m afraid he might keep an eye on us, even here in Eagertown.”“He doesn’t have that kind of reach, Hazel. I think he’s more pressured by Mason. Mr. Zhang must be busy completing his virus and vaccine project.”“Will he report to Mason?”“Hmm… from what I observe, probably not. If Mason finds out, he might cancel the project. Mr. Zhang is more fearful; he’s very cautious. Not the reckless type.”“So, there’s nothing to worry about, right?”Glenn nodded and showered Hazel with sweet, loving kisses. He wouldn’t let anyone touch or harm her again.“What about Yolanda?”“I’ll talk to Yvonne tomorrow.”“Ho
That evening, Yvonne made time to have a serious conversation with Yolanda. After dinner, they sat in the living room, enjoying warm tea before bedtime. Yolanda sensed that her daughter had something important to discuss.“What is it, Yvonne? You must want to talk to me about something,” Yolanda prompted.Yvonne knew better than to beat around the bush, as Yolanda disliked long-winded discussions. So, Yvonne decided to get straight to the point.“Glenn Smith wants to meet with you, Mom. He wants to discuss a business collaboration,” Yvonne said.Yolanda remained silent for a moment, waiting for more details.“He thinks you’d be a suitable sponsor. He can provide more details if you agree to meet with him,” Yvonne continued.“The Smith family is above us. Why does he need me? Is that young man trying to mock me? Is he offering a collaboration out of pity or something?” Yolanda replied.This was exactly why Yvonne disliked discussing business matters with her mother. Yolanda’s paranoia
