The family happened to have someone sunbathing in the yard.
Levi went over and negotiated with the man, handed the man a card, and then took the car keys and led Ruby into the car.
The process was quite short and before Ruby could react, she was already sitting on the passenger seat.
While she was still recalling the words that Levi had just said, the car had already driven off like an arrow off the string.
She had to admit that just now, when she had seen him say such a firm promise with such a calm and collected look, a stirring had arisen in her heart that she could not ignore.
The stirring seemed so out of place at this juncture, yet so uncontrollable.
She never imagined that one day she would be guarded like a babe in arms.
Such a feeling was all brought by this man.
And, most amazingly, she found that she didn't seem to reject such protection, and even, to the extent that she felt the slightest hint of pleasure melting away in her heart.
Aware that her thoughts were drifting away, she bit her lip lightly and forced herself to settle down before she asked him, "What did you just say to that guy that he just let you drive the car away?"
Levi stepped on the accelerator, the car was driving fast, but he was not half nervous, leisurely as if on holiday.
At these words, he looked at her sideways with distracted eyes, a careless smile tugging at the corners of his lips, "It's simple, there's almost nothing in this world that can't be done with money."
Ruby recalled a card he had just handed to the man and thought it made sense.
That card was a gold card, it had millions in it.
When she thought of it, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"This car is so broken, it's not worth the amount of money you're paying ......"
Levi laughed after hearing this and gave her cheeks a pinch with his hand: "The situation was so urgent, how could I care about bargaining, it's just a card, not so much."
As he spoke, he glanced in the rear-view mirror, his eyes turned dark and cold, and when he spoke again, his voice was much colder.
"Besides, it's only a few million, and it's a bargain to buy two of our lives."
Ruby looked in the rear-view mirror and saw that several jeeps had followed behind her at some point.
Gee, it was really haunting.
She pursed, "That's true, it's a good deal if you can get rid of the group."
After saying that, she took out her phone and sent a message to Jacob: "In F Country, come to downtown, bring more people."
At the same time, LW laboratory.
Jacob was bored and was chatting with the few remaining researchers who had nothing else to do in the lobby of the Institute.
When he saw the message, he was taken aback and he bounced up in his chair.
"Holy shit, BOSS is back!"
The rest of the group was shocked at this statement.
"No way. Really, why is Boss back all of a sudden?"
"Is there some new reagent to be researched? Wow, finally, I did not witness the development of the D3 reagent before!"
"There's almost no research can't get right if BOSS is on it! I'm so excited, I've recently finished my project, so I might be able to help BOSS with her research!"
"Jacob, tell us, when will the BOSS arrive?"
A few fellows were chattering, but Jacob didn't react at all, only holding his mobile phone, his fingers tapping rapidly on the screen.
