Chapter 1057 - 1059: Who Are You? What Do You Want?

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1059: Who Are You? What Do You Want?

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July, and all the universities in Japan were starting to go on summer break one after another.

However, places like the pharmaceutical research institute did not have any vacations.

In Chen Bin’s view, with the students gone from the school, it was even more convenient for him to make a move.

In fact, it was extremely difficult to enter the pharmaceutical research institute directly.

Not only did you need a key, but you also had to crack a combination lock at the same time.

Even if you could get inside, there was always someone guarding it.

So sneaking in to steal the Liver Protection Agent was nearly impossible.

Initially, Chen Bin wanted to obtain the formula for the Liver Protection Agent via cyber theft.

Unfortunately, the network system of the pharmaceutical research institute was managed by the West Capital Police Department.

The difficulty of hacking was very high, with the risk of exposure at any moment.

Even so, Chen Bin never considered giving up.

After all, the Liver Protection Agent was a secret, and getting your hands on it was naturally not easy.

Since he couldn’t think of a good method, Chen Bin decided to take Shen Congyi and the others on a tour around Japan for a few days.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they appeared on the street, someone recognized him, which gave Chen Bin quite a shock.

Later, he found out that his lecture had gained immense popularity all over Japan.

Not only were there people asking for photos and autographs, but some even wanted to learn from him as their mentor.

This was the first time Chen Bin, who had always kept a low profile, experienced the feeling of being a star.

In the evening, they arrived at Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan.

When they were playing late at night, Shen Congyi and Li Li both had bouts of vomiting and diarrhea and ended up in the hospital.

The task of caregiving naturally fell to Wang Meini.

After Chen Bin and Huangfu Yu had dinner, they started looking for a place to stay.

However, as it was peak tourist season, they looked for three hotels in a row, two of which were fully booked.

Until the last one, there was only one large bedroom left.

Huangfu Yu wanted to find another hotel, but unexpectedly, it started to rain outside.

This immediately dampened her mood.

It was hard enough to enjoy a trip, and now her companions were sick.

And finding accommodation was so troublesome, really annoying.

After about half an hour, the rain still showed no sign of stopping.

At this time, a young couple walked into the hotel with an umbrella.

Seeing this, Chen Bin hurriedly dashed to the front desk, took out his passport, and had the staff book the room.

Once inside the room, Huangfu Yu seemed a bit dissatisfied.

"One bed, why did you book it?"

"This was the only one left, and we don’t have an umbrella. If we didn’t book it before someone else did, we might have to wander in the rain to find a hotel."

As he spoke, Chen Bin glanced around and found the room very tidy.

"But... how are we going to sleep?"

"I’ll go and ask for a bedspread to sleep on the floor for the night."

With that, he left the room.

After bringing the blanket back, they both took turns showering.

With the lights off, each lay down on their respective spots.

The room was silent, and the only sound was the incessant tapping of rain on the window outside.

Chen Bin, unable to sleep, turned over and whispered, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet."

Getting a response, Chen Bin grew curious.

"Are you married? We’ve known each other for a long time, and I’ve never heard you mention a husband or boyfriend."

"Don’t you think it’s quite impolite to pry into a woman’s personal life?"

"Just a chat since I can’t sleep."

Sighing, Huangfu Yu answered.

"I was married once, but got divorced."

"Why?"

"I was busy with work all the time; we were apart more than together. He couldn’t accept it, so we divorced."

"Indeed, given the nature of our work, we can’t reveal our identities and can’t often be with our families, so divorce is quite common."

Thinking about this, Chen Bin couldn’t help but recall his own women and children.

They rarely met, and sometimes he felt he truly owed them.

Sitting up in bed, Huangfu Yu asked curiously.

"You’re the Deputy Minister, why do you still execute tasks on the front line? Honestly, I’ve never seen a leader like you before."

"Even though I am not professionally trained, I hope to contribute to the country. After so many years in politics, being on the front line now feels like a challenge."

"I see. Being able to do what you want to do is indeed admirable."

As they chatted, sleepiness suddenly hit them.

Chen Bin yawned and soon fell asleep.

Feeling a sudden urge to use the bathroom, Huangfu Yu got up and went to the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, as she opened the door, a shadow leapt in through the window.

Next, the intruder pressed a dagger against her lower back.

"Don’t move, or I’ll stab you!"

Having never encountered such a situation, Huangfu Yu screamed in fright.

Chen Bin, hearing the noise, was instantly jolted awake from his sleep.

Sitting up abruptly, he found Huangfu Yu being held hostage by a man.

Still in a daze, he instinctively spoke in Huaxia.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

The intruder paused slightly, then responded in Huaxia.

"I only want money. Give me the money, and I promise not to hurt her!"

Hearing this, Chen Bin felt relieved.

As long as his identity was not exposed, the intruder was not here to assassinate him.

"You can have the money, just let her go first. We’re all Huaxia people. I know you must be in some trouble. Don’t worry, I’ll get your money right away."

"Money first, then I release her!"

"Alright, I’ll get it for you."

Without hesitation, Chen Bin took out all the money on him.

After placing the money on the bed, he spread his hands, indicating he had no more.

The man then turned his gaze to Huangfu Yu’s bag.

Realizing it was a luxury item, he immediately said.

"Put the money in her bag and then give the whole bag to me."

Chen Bin had no choice but to comply.

While handing the bag over, he smiled and said.

"Take the money and leave quickly. I won’t call the police."

The man pushed Huangfu Yu into Chen Bin’s arms and then jumped out of the window.

Chen Bin hurriedly asked Huangfu Yu, "Are you okay?"

She had never been in such a situation before and was pale with fright.

Her whole body went limp against Chen Bin, trembling all over.

It took a lot of comforting from Chen Bin before she gradually calmed down.

At the moment, Huangfu Yu didn’t even feel the urge to go anymore.

With the light on, she curled up on the bed and asked Chen Bin to stay with her.

By two in the morning, Chen Bin was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open.

But each time he was about to drift off, Huangfu Yu would wake him.

After several repetitions, he couldn’t stand it any longer and turned off the light.

Huangfu Yu immediately screamed, "What are you doing? Why did you turn off the light? I’m scared!"

Chen Bin didn’t respond, but instead held her in his arms, lying on the bed with her.

Huangfu Yu immediately struggled, "Let go of me, get off the bed at once!"

Chen Bin whispered, "That person only wanted money. If you keep making a fuss, I might just feel like going further!"
