“Boss, why are you so worried?” his assistant asked.
“That’s Mr. Neal of the Neal Group in there. If he dies here, it won’t just be the Neal family,
even Ms. Yates won’t let me off the hook,” Sean casually replied, seeming indifferent but
evidently worried.
More importantly, it was only after much difficulty that he agreed to trade with him. Sean
had done his part, but Joshua’s life was now hanging by a thread. This was not looking like
a good deal for him.
After a short while..
A doctor came out of the room, a thin layer of sweat visible on his forehead.
“How is it?” Sean asked.
“The situation is critical. His body temperature won’t drop, he’s lost too much blood, and
the bullet is too close to the heart. We dare not remove it rashly,” the doctor informed him
truthfully.
“Is there no hope?” Sean asked a blunt question.
The doctor carefully considered his words and said, “There is still hope. “If we can get in
touch with Dr. Yves Scott, known as the Hand of G od, he might still stand a chance.”
“Yves Scott?” Sean paused.
“Yes,”
Sean’s brows furrowed. He felt as though he was at a massive disadvantage.
Everyone knew that Yves Scott was a doctor of peculiar temperament. As long as the
stakes were high enough, he was willing to lend his expertise. However, whether Yves
decided to save a life was entirely dependent on his mood. Worst of all, Sean and Yves did
not exactly share a cordial relationship.
“If we can’t reach him within twelve hours, I fear nothing can save Mr. Neal,” the doctor
warned.
“I understand. Stabilize Joshua’s condition. I will reach out to him,” Sean replied, feeling
for the umpteenth time that this deal was a significant loss for him.
After saying this, he stepped out, mobile in hand. He paced back and forth in the corridor
for quite some time before finally making a call. The line buzzed. After only two rings, the
recipient hung up without hesitation.
Undeterred, Sean dialed the number again, only to be promptly disconnected. He
repeated this process, and each time met with the same dismissive end. However, on the
twelfth attempt, his call was finally answered. The voice on the other end was terse.
“Speak”
e someone here who needs your help. You can set your own terms.” Sean did not waste
any time and softened his tone slightly.
“Not interested.” The person responded coldly with those two words before ending the
call.
Sean was speechless
Taking a deep breath, Sean stared at the number for a while, then continued to dial it. He
could not help but wonder, had he wronged Joshua in a past life? Was that why he was
suffering so much from this deal?
However much he tried, Sean could not reach Yves. There was anonsent when he even

switch to text messages, which were met with similar silence.
About half an hour later, Sean’s lead was pounding. If he could not reach Yves, then
Joshua had no chance. This situation was
In the midst of his worry, a notification for a new email suddenly popped up on his phone.
He furrowed his brows, about to dismiss it as spam, but then noticed the sender’s name-K

K?
The worry lines on Sean’s forehead smoothed out, replaced by clarity. How could he have
forgotten about this? The relationship between Yves and was far from ordinary. If he could
not persuade Yves, he could still try to connect to Yves through K
Thinking along these lines, Sean’s pent-up frustration dissipated. Following the link in the
email, he dialed the number provided. This was the only way to reach K, and it was a
virtual number.
