My Waste Husband

Chapter 269

Henry and the others found an ordinary food stall and ordered some spicy and fried food.

Chris asked for two more bottles of iced beer and took a few sips with Henry.

The dishes were slowly served on the table.

Milan, who had been puzzled for the whole afternoon, asked. "Dad, why did those people look for you today? What else did they say?"

"This matter..." Chris smiled and said, "In fact, it's nothing. Mr. Yang and I have done some projects. And it has aroused others' coveting."

"What kind of project?" Milan asked in confusion. This business must be risky since the killers came for them.

Chris looked around and whispered, "A project that can turn water into fuel."

"What!"

After the project was mentioned by Chris, Milan and Sylvia almost cried out in surprise at the same time.

"Transforming water into energy? Uncle Xiao, can your project really succeed?" Sylvia couldn't believe it. If it was done, it would benefit the whole human race.

Chris drank a glass of beer and said, "We got some accomplishment, and the specific steps haven't been completed yet. It's hard to research the rest of the things."

Milan frowned. The more surprising the project was, the more dangerous the current situation of Chris was.

"Dad, if it's too dangerous, don't do it. Compared with life, life is more important."

Chris shook his head indifferently. "It's okay. Didn't you see that? I have someone to protect me."

Henry was silent. After a while, he said, "Godfather, who brought up this project to you? When did it happen?"

"Josh Yang, the chairman of Yongfeng, three months ago."

Henry stretched out his hand and knocked on the table in an irregular way.

Three months ago? The exact time he went to The King Region.

This technology appeared three months ago. Was it a coincidence?

Henry could not help but think of something else. The existence of Fire Crystals could affect the layout of the world, and it was enough to show the importance of energy.

Regarding turning water into energy, Radiant Island had also used Fire Crystals to do some research. It was a great achievement.

What Chris said was stuck in Henry's mind. He couldn't wait to figure out where the research project of Yongfeng came from, whether it was his own development, or if there was someone else behind it.

Henry thought for a moment and said to Chris, "Godfather, let's do it this way. I'll stay here to protect you during this period of time. I happen to have a friend who does this kind of research. I'll ask her to help you."

"Don't bother." Chris waved his hand.

"Dad! Just let Henry protect you. With his protection, I can rest assured," said Milan.

Chris looked at his daughter with a smile on his face. "Milan, I didn't expect you to be so confident in Henry."

"That's for sure. You don't know that he went to the talent centre for the appraisal today. In terms of security alone, the talent centre has given him a 160 million estimated annual salary. I trust him completely." Milan rolled her eyes. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"A hundred and sixty million?" Chris was shocked by this number. He also knew the talent centre and the conclusion was very authoritative. Many people in the Xiao Group were found in the centre, but he had never heard of a high price of a hundred and sixty million annual salary.

Chris looked at Henry and nodded. "Henry, you've been suffering for so many years."

Chris did everything alone in the beginning. He knew very well how much a person had to suffer on the road of growth. If Henry could get such a high evaluation price, that meant that he had experienced many sleepless nights.

"It's nothing, Godfather. Sylvia and I will bother you more during this period of time."

"Look at you, kid. What are you talking about? You are more than welcome to live with us. Haha, come, come on, let's have another toast." Chris raised his glass.

He had only drunk two cups of wine. Before he could finish a few mouthfuls, Chris's phone rang suddenly.

He picked up the phone. What the people on the other end of the phone said, made Chris's face become very ugly.

"Dad, what's wrong?" As soon as Chris hung up the phone, Milan asked with concern.

"Mr. Yang from Yongfeng disappeared..." Chris looked very serious.

"Disappeared? You mean..." Before Milan could finish her sentence, she understood what he meant.

Today, in order to get that technology, the group of people even used bombs and guns. For them, it was not impossible to kidnap people.

Chris frowned and made several phone calls.

It could be seen with each call Chris made, his face was getting more and more ugly.

"Godfather, what's wrong?" Henry asked.

Chris shook his head and said, "You don't know. Because this research is of great importance, Mr. Yang and I have always attached great importance to it. In order to prevent the research materials from being taken by others, Mr. Yang and I each took half of it in the paper form. To the greatest extent, we couldn't allow it to be stolen. But now, the other half of the research has been completely lost. Without Mr. Yang's half of the research results, it is difficult to continue this project."

While Chris was talking, his phone rang again. At the moment when he saw the caller, Chris's pupils suddenly shrank. The caller was Josh Yang.

After thinking for a few seconds, Chris picked up the phone. Before he could speak, he heard an anxious voice coming from the phone.

"Mr. Xiao, I'll give you an address. Bring all the research materials in your hand here. I beg you!"

Chris pondered for a few seconds and said, "Okay, Mr. Yang, please tell me."

"There is the Saint Bar on the Third Street. You can put the information at the door. We can't continue the research this!" Josh's words were full of helplessness.

Chris hung up the phone.

Henry and the others heard what Josh said just now, and they knew that they couldn't eat this meal anymore.

"Honey, you and Milan go home first. I'll go with my godfather," Henry stood up and said.

Sylvia nodded. She also knew that following them would only add trouble. "Then you should be careful. No matter what happens, safety is the most important thing."

"Don't worry." Henry nodded and then said to Chris, "Godfather, where are the files?"

"At home."

They happened to go in the same way. First, they took Milan and Sylvia safely to their place of residence.

Chris took out a brown paper bag from his bedroom, and went out with Henry.

They took a taxi and went straight to the Saint Bar.

"Godfather, this can't be all the information you have?" After getting in the car, Henry said, "Milan and Sylvia didn't notice, but you and Josh have some secret signal, right?

Chris gave a wry smile. "You've heard it. I've told Mr. Yang that once one party gets into trouble, the other party has to give the files, but these files..."

Before Chris finished his words, Henry interrupted him.

"The information inside is half true, half false."
