Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Secret Call
However, as Yun Long was swimming back, a storm suddenly blew up at sea, and a torrential downpour started out of nowhere!
“Dammit—” Yun Long couldn’t help but curse. Why was he so unlucky?
Having a storm at sea was no joke; it was incredibly dangerous.
Even someone who was a good swimmer could drown in the sea.
Fortunately, Yun Long had undergone inhuman training and could withstand such a storm. But he couldn’t swim back because the waves were too big, and trying to do so would mean courting death.
To conserve his energy, Yun Long could only let himself drift with the waves, waiting for the storm to pass.
But it wasn’t long before he didn’t know where the currents had taken him.
Just endless sea everywhere, everything was pitch black, and he couldn’t see anything.
What if he accidentally drifted to the Pacific Ocean?
Thinking of this, Yun Long felt like crying.
God, I don’t want to die yet…
As the sky grew brighter, Hao Yansen had been working almost all night.
As long as she didn’t come out, Hao Yansen had not taken any rest.
In fact, during her research, Mo Jun would sleep in the laboratory. But Hao Yansen still couldn’t help but wait for her…
However, just as dawn was breaking, instead of Mo Jun, he received a secret phone call.
“Mr. Hao, we need your help…” came a deep, authoritative voice from the other end of the phone.
“Please speak,” Hao Yansen’s expression became serious as well.
“The thing is, the situation in Haidao City has been a bit off these past few years. Several times, the military arms we sent there have been intercepted, and not only that, last night a batch of important medical supplies was also hijacked, with all the escort personnel on the military ship wiped out. But we have been unable to find out who is behind this, so we have no choice but to ask for your help…”
Upon hearing the explanation from the other end, Hao Yansen agreed immediately, “Okay, we will do our best.”
“Thank you,” said the voice on the phone.
“It’s what we agreed on, so it’s only right,” Hao Yansen hung up the phone and immediately notified Shang Shi to prepare for action.
But before leaving, he had to see Mo Jun and give her a heads up.
Hao Yansen approached the research lab’s door and hesitated before knocking lightly.
He knocked softly, not wanting to disturb her if possible.
Luckily, the door was quickly opened.
Seeing him, Mo Jun was delighted, “Why are you here so early?”
“Did you not rest at all last night?” Hao Yansen asked in return.
Mo Jun guiltily replied, “I got so absorbed in my research that I forgot.”
Hao Yansen figured as much.
He said helplessly, “In the future, you’re not allowed to do this again. No matter what, you need to rest on time.”
“Okay!” Mo Jun nodded agreeably, obedient as ever.
But Hao Yansen knew that while her attitude in admitting fault was good, she would probably make the same mistake next time.
“Come on, join me for breakfast first.” Wanting not to waste time on these matters, Hao Yansen took her hand and led her away.
However, Mo Jun was excited, “Aren’t you going to ask how my research turned out?”
Hao Yansen smiled coyly, “You were going to research it anyway, what do you need a result for?”
“But you could guess how much I actually discovered.”
“How much?” he continued along her line of thought.
“Ta-da—” Mo Jun immediately took out a small pill bottle, bursting with excitement, “A total of five! I discovered five pills overnight, isn’t it amazing?”
Hao Yansen glanced at her, his eyes filled with indulgent laughter, “Indeed, amazing. You also deserve a reward. What gift would you like, I will give it to you.”
