Chapter 401: Bai Chen Is About to Collapse

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Bai Chen gestured for a while, contemplating kicking Shen Junqing a few times.

However, as he gazed at Shen Junqing, who was peacefully asleep, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Shen Junqing looked so peaceful and lovely in his slumber, like nothing could ever disturb him.

What was a grown man like him doing looking so angelic?

In the end, Bai Chen gritted his teeth and lifted him into the car, making sure to fasten his seatbelt.

While fastening the seatbelt, Shen Junqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't stay still.

As Bai Chen leaned in to secure it, Shen Junqing playfully draped himself over Bai Chen's back. His hands wandered mischievously around Bai Chen's waist.

Perhaps he had drunk too much, for he seemed to mistake Bai Chen for some girl and exclaimed, “Your waist is so slender!”

This left Bai Chen exasperated. He pushed Shen Junqing away and scolded him in frustration, “Sit properly!”

Shen Junqing pouted, acting a bit stubborn, and mumbled, “Doggy, how dare you scold me!”

Bai Chen's temples throbbed with frustration. He felt the urge to give Shen Junqing a good slap but managed to control himself.

Calm down…

Calm down…

Why was he even arguing with a drunk?

He clenched his teeth and warned, “Next time you get drunk like this, I'll leave you at the bar for those guys and girls who fancy you to deal with.”

Shen Junqing didn't respond; he had already dozed off once more.

Bai Chen rubbed his forehead in exasperation before forcefully closing the car door. He started the car and drove them back to their hotel.

Afterward, he opened the passenger's side door, pulled Shen Junqing out of the car, placed Shen Junqing's arm over his shoulder, and helped him to the elevator.

Shen Junqing and Bai Chen were nearly the same height, though Shen Junqing had a more robust build. Luckily, Bai Chen wasn't a fragile scholar; he could support Shen Junqing without being pinned down.

These two tall men, helping each other in this manner, seemed surprisingly harmonious.

Once inside the elevator, Bai Chen pressed the button for their floor and leaned against the wall of the cabin, still assisting Shen Junqing.

Shen Junqing's tolerance for alcohol wasn't great. When he got drunk, he was half asleep and half awake, and his wandering hands roamed freely on Bai Chen's body.

Bai Chen's patience had completely run out, and he angrily shouted, “Shen

Junqing, if your hands wander again, I'll break them!”

Shen Junqing opened his hazy drunken eyes and cast a seductive, mesmerizing gaze at Bai Chen.

Bai Chen:

Damn it…

Why was this grown man looking at him with such bewitching eyes? His anger from earlier seemed to dissipate inexplicably under that one glance.

As if waiting for Bai Chen to continue speaking, Shen Junqing, in his drunken state, reached out and gently caressed Bai Chen's head, wearing a tipsy smile.

“Good boy.”

“Buzz off.'

Bai Chen became irritable once again, internally cursing Shen Junqing in frustration.

Next time, he absolutely couldn't let him drink this much.

He felt like killing someone!

Finally arriving at their room, Bai Chen unceremoniously threw Shen Junqing onto the bed. After rubbing his aching shoulders and cursing under his breath, he headed to his own space.

First, he drank a glass of water and then took a shower with a towel.

When he emerged from the bathroom, he noticed his phone was ringing.

Walking over, he picked it up, and upon seeing the caller ID, the crease in his brow, brought on by annoyance, smoothed out as his voice softened into a tone completely different from before. “Little Yanyan, what's up?

Nan Yan's voice came through. “Was your operation with Third Brother successful?”

Mentioning someone who had infuriated him earlier, Bai Chen's gentle expression faded, replaced by a hint of coldness.

He ground his teeth for a moment and replied calmly, “It went relatively smoothly. We managed to establish contact with those two suppliers.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I suspect they were planning to collaborate with Merck from the beginning. Or rather, they already had their eyes on Merck.”

Merck had a considerable international reputation, largely thanks to Nan Yan, who held many pharmaceutical formulas.

The Seven Deadly Sins had long desired to take over Merck, to bring it into their fold, and were just waiting for the right opportunity.

Bai Chen and Shen Junqing had just happened to stumble onto their interests, unintentionally extending an invitation for them to step into their domain.

Of course, this was the perspective of the Seven Deadly Sins.

When Nan Yan heard Bai Chen's report, she chuckled meaningfully and said, “It seems that this game of counterplotting the counterplot is going to be repeated in a never-ending loop.”

They were scheming against her, but she was also scheming against them.

It was a case of deliberate deception versus casual scheming, and she held the upper hand.

As soon as Bai Chen heard Nan Yan's tone, he knew she already had a plan. He replied with a gentle chuckle, “Little Yanyan, what's your plan?”

“Just let them feel triumphant for now. You and Third Brother, put in a bit more effort to gather intelligence for me.”

“Little Yanyan, you're really squeezing every drop of labor out of us. I thought about bringing you back, but not only did I fail to do that, I also dragged myself into this mess.”

Bai Chen had already pictured what would happen when Li Yuan and the Zui Gui found out.

“After we resolve this matter, I'll give Li Yuan and the Zui Gui a holiday break.”

“Alright, you tell them. I'm afraid if I tell them, I'll get scolded. Besides, they won't bear to scold you.”

“Mm.”

Thud!

A loud noise came from the next room, and Nan Yan could hear it clearly even through the phone.

“What's that sound?”

“Nothing, someone's just causing a ruckus because of alcohol.” Bai Chen's tone was somewhat clenched. “It'd be best if they end up breaking something.”

Nan Yan:

Why did she sense so much resentment in Bai Chen's tone?

What had Third Brother done to him?

Nan Yan heard more commotion from his end and whispered softly, “Third Brother is drunk. Go check on him and make sure he doesn't get into trouble. I'll hang up for now.”

Bai Chen acknowledged with a brief response, placed the phone aside, and went to see what Shen Junqing was up to again.

Why couldn't he just sleep properly when he was drunk instead of making a mess?

When he opened the door to the adjacent room, Shen Junqing was staring blankly at the shattered water dispenser on the floor, along with the shattered glass.

He was swaying on the ground, attempting to pick up the broken glass pieces with his hands.

Bai Chen: !

He hurriedly rushed over and pulled Shen Junqing's hand back from the nearly grabbed glass shards. “What are you doing?”

Shen Junqing looked innocent and aggrieved. “I wanted some water…”

Bai Chen:

You wanted water, so you smashed the water dispenser?

As long as he didn't hurt himself, it was considered lucky for him!

Bai Chen really wanted to curse someone.

But when he looked at Shen Junqing's innocent face, the words of anger were swallowed back.

Stay calm!

Why bother with a silly drunkard like him?

“I want water!”

Shen Junqing repeated his request when he saw Bai Chen not giving him any water.

Bai Chen, with visible veins pulsating on his temple, said expressionlessly,

“Come with me. I'll get you some water.”

The floor was covered in glass shards, and he was afraid Shen Junqing might stumble, so he held his hand throughout.

When they arrived in Bai Chen's room, he pressed Shen Junqing onto the couch and went to fetch some water.

Shen Junqing obediently waited for him.

Taking the water cup, he gulped down several sips.

“Not enough.”

Bai Chen patiently went to pour him another cup.

After finishing the second cup, Shen Junqing felt that his dry mouth was finally getting some relief.

Then, he started fidgeting.

He stood up and began to take off his own clothes.

Bai Chen:
