I want to take you wandering.

Chapter 209 If I lose it, I'll still be unaccustomed.

The secretary: "Mr. Ou, e/"

Ou Yunchen: "Because I don't want to see Miss Su become a widow shortly after marrying you."

Emmanuel's expression grew even uglier.

Ou Yunchen: "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Emmanuel, you don't have much time left, do you?"

Although Emmanuel was reluctant to hear such words, he had to admit that his heart was indeed a major problem.

He wasn't sure if it was due to the change of environment, but after arriving here, his heart would often ache sharply. To put it bluntly, he feared that any moment's pause could be the last moment of his life.

Ou Yunchen: "Mr. Emmanuel, I heard that you might have had a chance to undergo surgery to obtain an extremely expensive artificial heart to prolong your life."

Emmanuel: "Yes, but due to an accident, the artificial heart was lost during transportation. A new one would take several years to produce."

Ou Yunchen: "Lost?"

Emmanuel: "That's what was said to the public, but I already know that the protective equipment during transportation was damaged, causing the artificial heart to be compromised."

Ou Yunchen sneered. It was the precise heart he had personally smashed.

Ou Yunchen: "Mr. Emmanuel, do you believe it? You believe such an excuse? That's the safest transportation insurance system in the world. None of the people who underwent surgery before you had their artificial hearts damaged due to transportation failure."

Emmanuel: "I had my doubts too, but this is the answer I was given. And they are already making a new one, perhaps it won't take too long..."

Emmanuel's voice grew less confident. He also didn't believe the excuse, but there was nothing he could do. With his damaged heart, there was no other option but to wait.

Ou Yunchen: "What if someone wanted to steal your artificial heart?"

Emmanuel: "Impossible. The transportation equipment is in an encrypted box. Without a special key, it's impossible to open it."

Ou Yunchen: "As far as I know, the box protecting the artificial heart is shockproof, fireproof, and waterproof. It would be difficult to open even with brute force. How was the artificial heart inside damaged? Unless someone opened the box and took out the artificial heart..."

Emmanuel: "How could you possibly know so many details?"

Ou Yunchen: "Mr. Emmanuel, in this world, there are no secrets that money cannot buy."

Ou Yunchen put on a look of genuine pity, which made Emmanuel feel even more uneasy.

He thought he should have calmly accepted this fate, but now the situation had changed. Because he had fallen for Su Ruiyi, he often felt unwilling to compromise. He wanted to live longer!!!

Ou Yunchen seized the opportunity. It was time to extend an olive branch to Emmanuel.

Ou Yunchen: "I'll help you find out who wanted to steal your heart, and you'll do something for me in return."

Emmanuel looked up, staring nervously at Ou Yunchen. Ever since he saw Ou Yunchen at the party, he had an ominous sense of fear towards this man.

He didn't seem like a respectable businessman. There seemed to be a hidden murderous aura about Ou Yunchen, which, when inadvertently revealed, was enough to make those around him tremble.

Perhaps this was Ou Yunchen's true strength. Emmanuel, with his weak constitution and short lifespan, was no match for Ou Yunchen. But if what Ou Yunchen said was true, and the heart wasn't damaged but stolen...

Emmanuel's head buzzed. He recalled his anger when he first learned about the heart's destruction. The transporters could only admit it was destroyed, but they never provided a photo of its condition!!!

It was as if a voice had been injected into Emmanuel's mind. He gradually began to believe Ou Yunchen's words. He had been successfully swayed.

Yes, that's it! It must have been stolen!!!

If he could find the person who stole his heart, then Emmanuel wouldn't have to wait so long. He could kill the person who possessed his heart!

This way, he could regain his life and have more time to like Su Ruiyi even longer!!!

Ou Yunchen's phone vibrated on the table. Looking at the caller ID, Ou Yunchen smiled.

However, Ou Yunchen did not answer. He pressed the screen, and soon, the call was hung up.

Ou Yunchen was still waiting for Emmanuel's reply. He knew that driven by the will to survive fueled by love, Emmanuel would give him a satisfactory answer.

At this moment, Emmanuel's phone also rang. Without a doubt, it was Mrs. Su, who, unable to reach Ou Yunchen, had now found Emmanuel for confirmation.

See? As Emmanuel answered the call, he immediately resolved Ou Yunchen's confusion.

— Emmanuel on the phone —

Emmanuel: "Mrs. Su, yes, I had something urgent to attend to, so I left."

Emmanuel: "That's right, I've come to Ou Yunchen's company."

During the conversation, Emmanuel glanced up at Ou Yunchen, who was sitting beside him. Clearly, Mrs. Su had mentioned Ou Yunchen on the phone.

Emmanuel: "It's nothing, we're just chatting casually."

Emmanuel: "Oh? Alright, I'll go pick her up."

— Emmanuel ends the call —

After hanging up, Emmanuel's face finally showed a hint of joy before the end of the call. It seemed Su Ruiyi had been mentioned.

Ou Yunchen suddenly felt that Su Ruiyi's value as a pawn was far greater than he had initially imagined...

Emmanuel: "I..."

The meeting room door was suddenly slammed open, interrupting Emmanuel.

Lawyer Ma: "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought your meeting was over."

Lawyer Ma's performance was a bit clumsy, but it didn't prevent her subtle eye signal. Ou Yunchen received the message.

Ou Yunchen stood up, and Emmanuel followed suit.

Ou Yunchen: "Then that's all for now, Mr. Emmanuel. Please think about it carefully. We'll talk again when we have the chance."

Emmanuel nodded, assuming Ou Yunchen was busy. After all, Lawyer Ma's sudden entrance looked like she had something urgent to say.

Ou Yunchen: "Oh, right. This is our company's Head of Legal Department, Lawyer Ma. You've met her before, but I didn't get a chance to introduce you properly."

Emmanuel and Lawyer Ma then formally shook hands.

Emmanuel: "Then I'll be going. You all carry on."

Ou Yunchen asked his secretary to escort Emmanuel out. Lawyer Ma interpreted Ou Yunchen's earlier words about thinking carefully as if they had discussed something important in the meeting room, perhaps something Mrs. Su was worried about...

As soon as the meeting room door closed, Ou Yunchen anticipated what Lawyer Ma would say.

Lawyer Ma immediately took out the recently printed agreement. Ou Yunchen glanced at it; it was exactly as he wanted.

With swift strokes, he signed his name. Lawyer Ma's anxiety finally subsided.

Ou Yunchen: "Why did Su Hui come to her senses so quickly?"

With a sharp sound, Lawyer Ma slapped Ou Yunchen.

Lawyer Ma: "If Xu Shu Ming hadn't been home, she would have come herself to give you this slap."

Ou Yunchen snorted, completely unconcerned.

Lawyer Ma: "Now Xi Ou is completely your own company. From now on, the success or failure of Xi Ou will have nothing to do with ATL..."

Lawyer Ma continued to explain all matters concerning Xi Ou's separation from the parent company. Ou Yunchen didn't want to waste time listening to the nonsense he already knew.

He took out his phone and scrolled through his social media feed. It seemed Emmanuel had been called to pick up Su Ruiyi, whose car had a flat tire on the road.

Lawyer Ma: "There's one last thing."

Ou Yunchen grunted, but still didn't look up from his phone.

Lawyer Ma: "Mrs. Su asked me to convey a message: she hopes this is the last time you will use Su Ruiyi's secret to force her to concede. Otherwise, she will truly not be polite to you."

Lawyer Ma stood up and began to pack her documents. She gave Ou Yunchen a fierce glare before leaving.

Ou Yunchen, who remained motionless, stared blankly at his phone, mechanically scrolling through Su Ruiyi's past posts.

Every day she had confessed her love to Ou Yunchen. Her life seemed to be filled with places she wanted Ou Yunchen to go with her, and anything she did, she would tag Ou Yunchen...

But such days seemed to have stopped on a certain day...

From then on, she never tagged him or mentioned Ou Yunchen's name again...

He began to imagine: had Su Ruiyi found out what he had done? Had Su Ruiyi truly been moved by Emmanuel? Had she finally compromised with Mrs. Su? Did she really not like him anymore...?

If this clingy heiress were to leave his life, would Ou Yunchen not be able to adapt?

He locked his phone screen. Ou Yunchen felt a hint of annoyance. Perhaps not looking was the best remedy.
