Chapter 129

Zhang Bei touched the scar on his face and let out a silent sigh.

Still, this incident put him on guard. For the new project, he absolutely, absolutely could not shorten his lifespan again!

Over the next few days, Zhang Bei simply locked himself in the Monitoring Room to keep polishing the script.

It wasn’t until the injuries on his face had healed that he finally stepped out the door.

Zhang Bei checked the time. Half a month had already passed. He pulled out his phone with one hand and called Guan Guo.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service. Please try again later.”

Hearing the voice on the other end, Zhang Bei fell into thought for a moment.

Forget it. The new project wasn’t urgent anyway. Let them take their time.

At that very moment, in the Laboratory, four people were sitting around a table, staring gloomily at the boxed lunches in front of them.

“The boss couldn’t have forgotten us, right?”

Guan Guo thought about it carefully. “Probably not. If the call didn’t go through, he should’ve realized we turned on signal jamming.”

Zhu Xiaotong swallowed a mouthful of rice with difficulty. “I’m so sick of these boxed lunches I could puke. If he still doesn’t come, I think I’m going to lose it.”

Not everyone’s joy was the same. At that moment, Zhang Bei was looking at the child in front of him with a smile.

“Little one, what do you want to play?”

Standing in front of Zhang Bei was a child of five or six, holding a bucket of popcorn beside Doctor Wang.

And on the child’s other side was a long-legged beauty who stood 5’11” tall.

That’s right-these two were our doctor’s family members!

It all started that morning. Doctor Wang changed clothes and went off to work at the amusement park.

Then Mrs. Wang found two free tickets to the Amusement Park in the clothes he’d taken off.

Since it happened to be the weekend, they might as well go have some fun at the amusement park and, while they were at it, see what her husband’s job was like.

And so, the moment Zhang Bei came out, he ran straight into this scene.

“No, honey, listen to me. This project really can’t be played!”

Mrs. Wang grabbed her son with one hand. “Boss, do you have any recommendations?”

Zhang Bei glanced at Xiao Wang and pointed at the Hot Air Balloon nearby. “That one’s pretty good for sightseeing!”

Mrs. Wang hooked a finger under Doctor Wang’s chin and went, “Mwah!”

“Work hard, okay!”

Xiao Wang stood nearby, his eyes full of contempt, and silently walked toward the Hot Air Balloon.

Zhang Bei only felt a stab of pain in his eyes. For the first time, he regretted why he had even shown up today.

But he was Zhang Bei!

He walked off to a corner and quietly made a call. “Professor Wei, got time to cover a shift today?”

“What about Doctor Wang?”

“His wife brought the kid over, so I’m planning to give him the day off!”

“Easy, easy. I’ll be there in half an hour!”

Zhang Bei hung up and sat down beside the Hot Air Balloon, whistling.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Wang, now strapped in, took her son up into the sky.

The worried Doctor Wang didn’t forget his real duty.

He pushed a cart back and forth through the amusement park, shuttling between the rides and the Morgue.

Professor Wei arrived at the amusement park in just twenty minutes. After greeting Professor Yao, he quickly found Zhang Bei.

“Boss, I’ll just come straight over tomorrow. The retirement handover is already finished.”

Zhang Bei nodded. “Now that you’re here, Doctor Wang won’t have to work so hard.”

Professor Wei smiled. He had often heard Doctor Wang complain that the boss was inhuman.

“He really has been tired. Let him take a few days off. I’m basically free for the foreseeable future anyway.”

Zhang Bei thought it over. Doctor Wang really hadn’t gotten much rest for a long time.

“Alright. I’ll tell him in a bit and let him rest for a few days.”
The two people on the ground were chatting while Xiao Wang was up in the Hot Air Balloon, taking in the scenery.

“Son, do you know what this says?”

Mrs. Wang was holding Xiao Wang’s rope and pointing at a line of text above them.

“Please do not pull the rope, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!”

Xiao Wang read it out in a calm voice.

Mrs. Wang looked at the rope in her hand, then at Xiao Wang.

“The more they tell you not to pull it, the more curious you get!”

“Mom, the last time you got curious was on a cable car, and Dad had to pay eighteen thousand.”

At that, Mrs. Wang’s face immediately turned black.

That had been last winter, when the family of three had gone skiing in high spirits.

On the cable car ride up, she had looked at the red pull ring overhead and been overwhelmed by curiosity.

And so, the entire cable car had been forced to shut down, with all the maintenance crews rushing out.

Mrs. Wang only paused for a moment before yanking on the rope.

Forget everything else. Satisfying her curiosity was what mattered most!

Xiao Wang, who had still been admiring the scenery, had no time to react before his body dropped straight out of the sky.

After experiencing high-altitude bungee jumping, Xiao Wang stood stiff all over, gritting his teeth as he stared at his mother.

But in just a moment, Mrs. Wang’s eyes lit up.

So this was how you played with it?

“Son, be good and let Mom play for a bit!”

“Are you really my biological mother?”

“Of course I am. You’re the flesh that fell from my own body!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wang’s figure vanished again.

The tourists nearby felt a chill as they looked at this 5’11” beauty before them.

Was that really her biological son?

Could you even play with your own biological son like that?

The doctor had just finished sending off a group of tourists and was taking a sip of water from his canteen.

Then, sensing something, he looked up at the sky.

He wondered how they were doing.

“Doctor, tidy up and take three days off. Professor Wei is here!”

The doctor stared at Zhang Bei, and his expression gradually turned resentful.

You actually remember to let me take time off?

Come to think of it, I haven’t had a proper break in a long time, have I?

Why does it have to be today of all days?

Just thinking about his wife’s childlike personality sent a chill through him.

The boss couldn’t be, shouldn’t be, surely not doing this on purpose, right?

Zhang Bei had only meant to pass on the message. After that, he turned around and went back to perfecting the script for the new project.

Meanwhile, Li Yang had practically witnessed the whole thing from start to finish.

“Why doesn’t the boss find a boss lady?”

Standing beside Li Yang was a chef, who had held it in for a long time before finally speaking up.

“If there were one, she’d have to have slaughtered at least one city in her previous life, right?”

Li Yang thought carefully about his boss’s terrible personality and nodded with deep meaning.

Anyone who ended up with Zhang Bei must have committed far too many sins in a past life!

Under the doctor’s anxious watch, the Hot Air Balloon gradually returned to the ground.

At first glance, his wife was smiling brightly, and the doctor finally relaxed.

He turned his head, only to see his son wiping away the saliva and snot on his face. A perfectly handsome young man had been turned into a little savage.

The doctor silently took his wife’s hand. “The boss gave me three days off. Want to go have some fun for a couple of days?”

Mrs. Wang’s gaze quickly locked onto the Human Cannon not far away.

“I want to see you and our son play that!”

Xiao Wang dragged his weak legs down from the Hot Air Balloon.

Following the direction his mother was pointing, he looked over. The screams of countless children rang in his ears from above, while the muzzle of the Cannon on the ground glinted coldly.
