Capítulo 11: Planning

[POV Bai Chang]

Yesterday I told Zhang Wei to look for some elite co-op people he trusts. Today he already found quite a few men, he handed me a list of peoples' information first thing in the morning. I looked through them;

"They are your teammates for the last field mission, right," I stated.

"Yes," Zhang Wei replied.

"Okay, bring them here to be interviewed. Use Hu Corporations as a smokescreen."

"Okay," he replied and then left for his other work.

'I am looking forward to this day; you may ask why? It is because today is the last day for my physiotherapy.'

After breakfast Dr Lee and Dr Yun, both came together to mark today's auspicious event.

"Hello, Dr Lee Dr Yun" I greeted them.

"Morning Bai Chang, we will go through some movement test only and if you do not mind a psychological evaluation." Dr Lee informed.

"We will talk about that later let's finish with the test" I dodged the statement about psychological evaluation.

Dr Yun started the test procedures, the pieces of equipment were prepared by Li Jie beforehand throughout the test Dr Lee looked at me waiting for my permission for psychic evaluation.

"Dr Lee, it's not that I don't want to do but I do not feel comfortable with all these. We are friends. I am aware of your connection with Hu Qiang, so putting that aside I will be upfront with you I am not the Bai Chang everyone knew after the accident. I know the faces of a few people but my trust to anyone is next to nothing. There are shadows and the light impression of a few people but I want to start afresh. I do not want to be defined by my old mould. I was given a second chance to my life I want to redeem the second chance on my own terms and conditions as a better version of me, not as a shadow of old me and while you are at it tell Hu Qiang he owes me money. So ask him to meet me today by the end of the day or I will clear his bank account for the delay." I said quietly and dismissed him.

'I think I like teasing Dr Lee. That poor bloke he was scared to his bones.'

I heard him mutter under his breath "this husband and wife will be the end of me. Why do they always have to threaten me? They are both brutal'

(hehe I smirked)

I coughed lightly; Dr Lee composed himself and left in a hurry with Dr Yun insisting on taking her with him as if I will swallow her.

Imagining Hu Qiang's reaction I smirked in my head.

[POV Hu Qiang]

I was still at my parent's place when Yun Lee called and passes me Bai Chang's message, I chuckled. This girl has become fearless after waking up. We were at the dining table having breakfast seeing me chuckle my mother stared at me and it became sharp with each passing minutes.

"Okay, please do not intimidate me. Yun Lee called he went to Bai Changs' place for her last Physiotherapy assessment and Psychic evaluation."

"So what is the result?" my father intervened.

"She finished her physiotherapy with flying colours but refused to undergo psychic evaluation stating that she is not the old Bai Chang and wants to live the second chance of life on her own terms without a past mould becoming her shackles.

"She said so that girl was always smart. It's good to know she learned cautiousness this time." My father further commented.

"But you wouldn't chuckle for this piece of news? What else did she say?" my mother refused to give up, so typical of my mother.

"Well, she told him to pass me a message," I replied

"Which is?" she persisted.

"I need to meet her by the end of the day as I owe her money and if I don't she will clear away all my accounts and make me bankrupt."

"You owe her money!" my parents exclaimed together and my son enjoyed by discomfort.

"Well, it can't be avoided. After gaining conscious she hacked into my company system to call out our feeble security measures she then came to my office yesterday to propose a trade, that is, she will teach to me the new security code and I pay her one billion. In future our turnover is estimated by selling this program is over hundred billion within a year."

Both my parents were shocked they understood the prospect while also the dangers involved.

"She is working as a software engineer right after waking up. She needs money to upgrade security all around. She is upgrading the security measures to the world's best level; impossible to crack through with current technology as well as technologies in the coming few years." I told them.

"Did she remember something crucial which makes are aware of the dangers surrounding her? Qiang nothing should happen to her otherwise do not enter this place again we have already come close to losing her once we don't want to lose her all over again" my father stated. My mother nodded her consent.

In this room, the most miserable person was my son. When he knows he can't meet his mother yet but a child's heart always yearns for his mother how much ever the father pats on his head. I looked into his dark brown eyes,

"I'll let you meet her soon. Let me first make her realise that we are not enemies."

"When are you going to meet her?" my mother inquired, if she could she would have sent me directly to Bai Chang's place.

(I wonder, was I the adopted child and not Bai Chang)

"At night. I will stick to my schedule, they are a few people looking into our affairs we are preparing nets for these big fishes to catch them all in one swoop."

"Careful do not bring extra trouble" my father warned me.

I left the place and went to the office on my way I informed Li Jie, we will meet at night at her place

[POV Bai Chang]

Hu Qiang informed us that he would join us for dinner. I am curious about this husband as I was unmarried in my previous life. People didn't find the guts in themselves to at least propose me due to my very elevated status which only left me away for political marriage which I was not interested, so my life, I decided I would spend it in Starlife System development and progress. I wasn't asexual by any means only that I didn't find someone who was able to spark any interest in me.

I search for various details here and there; credit card statements to the official purchase of real estate and investment plans accepted. It took both me and 'Jiffy' the entire afternoon to comb through all his data and then compile them. By evening I knew the ins and outs of this person named Hu Qiang at least his digital impression, after tonight I will have my personal judgement ready and we'll see how it goes from there. I am open to entering a romantic adventure if the person is qualified.
