“It’s not a matter of you believing me or not. It’s a matter of you letting your wife try this remedy or not,” said Bai Chen.
He was not a very persuasive speaker, so he could not change Tang Zi Cheng’s mind with a convincing, eloquent speech.
Thus, he could help to say what he had said, and every word he uttered was accurate.
This matter was not a matter of faith; it was a matter of whether one wanted to try it or not.
Tang Zi Cheng’s face grew solemn. His stern gaze was locked on Bai Chen’s face.
“Don’t you joke around! Do you think I would let my wife inject a vaccine with who knows what in it into her body?!?”
Tang Yien said nothing on this matter. She just let her husband take care of it.
But her silence clearly indicated that she certainly did not want to use Bai Chen’s vaccine.
How the situation unfolded was not surprising at all. As a matter of fact, anyone would have reacted the same way in this situation.
Accepting a vaccine from someone they had just met today was not something that could happen that easily.
Long Xu In looked at Bai Chen. She was about to say something, but she could not say it as Bai Chen stopped her with his gaze.
“So, you choose not to try?”
After glancing at Long Xu In, Bai Chen turned to the married couple.
Tang Zi Cheng took a deep breath. He felt quite livid hearing what Bai Chen had said because he had declared in a serious manner before this that he would not allow his wife to try it
Tang Yien also felt mild anger. If Bai Chen had not come with Long Xu In, she would not even pay any mind to him.
“No, I don’t want to try it.”
“It can’t be helped then.”
Bai Chen put the syringe and the vaccine bottle back into the medicine box. If the other party did not cooperate, there was nothing he could do.
He sighed internally at the situation. This would be the first time he had failed to complete a mission.
Bai Chen had thought he would be successful using the same method he used to persuade Long Xu In. It seemed he hadn’t thought things through this time.
After packing the medicine away, Bai Chen stood up from the chair and said to Long Xu In. “Xu In, let’s head off.”
“But…” Long Xu In could not accept this. She very much wanted to tell her story to Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien. Her story might change their minds.
She clearly did not want Tang Yien to die a few months after this.
“If you won’t leave, then I’ll have to excuse myself.” Bai Chen did not want to waste even one second here.
This was because Tang Zi Cheng was looking at him with a hostile gaze, which was very different from before.
Long Xu In thought for several seconds before making up her mind about something.
“Bai Chen, you head off first. Let me talk to them first. Can you also take the syringe and the medicine out of the box for me as well?”
Bai Chen shook his head almost immediately. “It’s not something I can give you. I’m helping them because of you. If they don’t want to try, then that’s the end of it. There’s no second chance or future chances.”
Hearing this made Long Xu In go silent. In the end, she let out a sigh and stood up from the chair.
“Uncle Zi Cheng, Aunt Yien, I’ll have to excuse myself. Sorry for wasting your time.”
After that, she left the room with Bai Chen.
Tang Zi Cheng seemed very irritated. “Why would Xu In have listened to that boy?”
He had clearly started to dislike Bai Chen for what he said previously: ‘It’s not a matter of you believing me or not. It’s a matter of you letting your wife try this remedy or not.’
“Never mind, dear,” Tang Yien said and got out a mobile phone from a luxury brand. “I’ll give Xu In’s mother a call. I’ll tell her to get Xu In to stop associating with this boy, Bai Chen.”
“Please do. That will be best for Xu In.” Tang Zi Cheng agreed with this idea and gave her a nod.

[Mission failed!]
Mission 15: Save a middle-aged woman from a horrible disease. (Failed)
Penalty for failure: The middle-aged woman will die from the disease in a few months.
---
After exiting the hotel with Long Xu In, the mission-failure window popped up.
He could not help but sigh out loud. This was the first time he had failed to complete a mission.
He did not feel too many emotions about it though. Because failing a mission did not have any effect on his score.
It was just that Tang Yien would die a few months after this.
Bai Chen could only think that this was her fate. He felt slightly sorry for her though.
But would he help her again? Absolutely not. It was Tang Zi Cheng who had made him feel unwilling to help.
“Bai Chen...”
As they were walking together towards the hotel’s parking lot where Long Xu In’s BMW was parked, Long Xu In called out to him in a soft voice.
Bai Chen could guess why she had called him. He shook his head.
“Don’t say anything, Xu In. I know what you’re going to say.”
Long Xu In immediately stopped short. In the end, she let out a very long sigh. She knew Bai Chen would never help to treat the GT-2 disease for Tang Yien again.
Frankly speaking, she felt quite sad about this. But she did not know what to do.
“That vaccine. What kind of vaccine is it?”
Long Xu In changed the topic abruptly. She chose not to care about Tang Yien’s affairs anymore.
“A vaccine for all diseases,” replied Bai Chen, before sending the medicine box into the dimension ring. This act made Long Xu In’s beautiful eyes widen; she was shaken to her core.
She could barely believe her eyes when the medicine box in Bai Chen’s hand suddenly vanished.
This was even though she had seen him do this once before when he was at her house previously.
