Chapter 154: The Brain is as Big as a Black Hole
"Oh?" Boss Lei's eyes flashed with amusement. "How do we bet?"
Shi Qingqian said, "If my medicine can cure your illness, then you must help me rescue those poor children and stop their irresponsible parents from hurting them again."
Boss Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint in his eyes, "Why do you think I will agree to your bet?"
Shi Qingqian met Boss Lei's dangerous gaze without fear: "Because you also want to know if this medicine is really effective, right?"
"Don't you want to completely cure your illness, have a healthy body, and be a normal person who can run and jump?"
"Besides, my conditions are not difficult for you. As the boss here, you are capable enough to do it."
Boss Lei was silent for a moment, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Shi Qingqian's determined eyes and her unflinching appearance, and a different emotion surged in his heart.
This woman, clearly under his control, possessed such bold courage and stubborn character.
Her eyes sparkled with concern and persistence for those children, like a bright light illuminating this world full of darkness and indifference.
Boss Lei's heart moved slightly. He didn't know how long it had been since he had seen such pure emotions.
If I could have met someone like this back then...
"Okay, I'll make this bet with you, but you'd better pray that your medicine really works. Otherwise, you'll know how serious the consequences can be."
"I believe my medicine will be effective," Shi Qingqian said with certainty.
Boss Lei poured out a pill from the medicine bottle, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He asked someone to check it, but strangely, none of the ingredients in the medicine were found.
Fortunately, Shi Qingqian has tried it and nothing has happened for so many days, so this medicine should not be fatal.
Over the years, illness has been following him like a shadow, tormenting him all the time.
He looked at the people around him who were either fearful or flattering him, and knew in his heart that they were only around him because of his power.
If he falls seriously ill, endless revenge and torture will be waiting for him.
So in order to cure his illness over the years, Boss Lei tried all means and took countless medicines.
Because he wants to live!
He took a deep breath, put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
At that moment, he didn't know whether he was betting on the effect of the pill or on something else.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment the pill entered his stomach, Boss Lei felt as if a surge of strength suddenly appeared in his weak body.
Although this power was not strong, it was like a glimmer of light in the darkness, which made him feel a little surprised.
Boss Lei closed his eyes slightly and carefully felt the changes in his body.
The power seemed to flow slowly, gradually spreading to his limbs and bones.
He could feel that his originally heavy body seemed to have become lighter, and the fatigue that had been bothering him was also alleviated a lot.
He opened his eyes, and there was a complex light in his eyes. Did this medicine really have such a magical effect, or was it just his psychological effect?
Boss Lei was full of doubts, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
He looked at Shi Qingqian, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "This medicine... seems to have some effect."
A hint of joy flashed in Shi Qingqian's eyes: "This is just the beginning. You need to continue taking it and you will see better results."
Boss Lei nodded slightly, his curiosity and expectation about this woman growing stronger.
"This medicine is effective, so I win," Shi Qingqian said, "Don't forget our bet."
Boss Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Shi Qingqian's anxious expression, and a bit of amusement arose in his heart.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is just the beginning. It's still unknown whether my illness can be completely cured."
Shi Qingqian frowned: "You can't go back on your word. Since the medicine is effective, you should fulfill the bet."
Boss Lei raised his lips slightly. "When have I ever broken my promise? I said that once I'm sure this medicine can completely cure my illness, I will fulfill the bet. Until then, just wait patiently."
Shi Qingqian felt a surge of anger in her heart. She knew that Boss Lei was deliberately delaying, but she also knew that she could not conflict with Boss Lei at this moment.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Okay, I can wait, but I hope you won't make me wait too long."
……
After Shi Qingqian returned to the room, she immediately released A Miao.
Seeing Qingqian's worried look, Ah Miao couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you? Didn't that Boss Lei promise not to hurt these children?"
Shi Qingqian sighed softly and shook her head slightly: "He clearly took the medicine and felt the effect, but he deliberately delayed and refused to fulfill the bet immediately. I'm worried that he will go back on his word. After all, he is such an unpredictable person."
If it was just her, it wouldn't matter, but with so many children, she didn't dare to gamble with them on whether Boss Lei would keep his promise.
A Miao: "What should I do? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Shi Qingqian bit her lip and fell into deep thought: "We have to find a way to get the children out of the mountain."
"Leave this matter to me. I will go out at night. I can hide in the dark without being discovered," A Miao said, patting his chest.
As night fell, the entire Yangjia Village was immersed in silence. A Miao left the room quietly, her figure almost imperceptible in the dark.
At the same time, Boss Lei was in his room, thinking over and over again about Shi Qingqian's words and her eyes.
He had to admit that this woman gave him a feeling he had never felt before.
If she could really heal herself, perhaps he could also quit his criminal ways for her and learn to be a truly ordinary person.
Although he hated babies the most, if she wanted, they could have one, or at most two, in the future.
He didn't like the surname Yang, so their child should take her surname.
Shi...this surname sounds very pleasant.
Boss Lei was immersed in his own thoughts, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
He imagined his future life with Shi Qingqian. The picture was both unfamiliar and filled with warmth in his heart.
……
Shi Qingqian didn't know yet that Boss Lei's imagination was as big as a black hole.
She was anxiously waiting for A Miao to come back in the room.
Shi Qingqian paced back and forth in the room, the worry in her heart spreading like vines, and she looked at the door from time to time.
As time passed, the silence in the room seemed to be magnified infinitely, making Shi Qingqian more and more anxious.
Fortunately, A Miao finally came back and brought back good news.
