Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable!

“!?”

Old Wang was stunned. He stared at the phone with his eyes wide open, then looked at Old Nie, who was also stunned, and muttered in a low voice,

“Why is it unavailable? Have you been dialing the wrong number?”

The first time he called that adopted son, he definitely got through.

If one person could not get through, he could have been blocked. If two people could not get through, it was a discontinued number.

It was truly unavailable!

“No, it definitely isn’t wrong!”

Old Nie was stunned. He quickly lowered his head to look at the phone number. The unfilial son’s name and contact details were clearly written on it.

Contact: Nie Xing

Contact number: 158 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

There were even phone records from half a month ago!

How did it become unavailable now?

Old Wang refused to believe it. He called again and only then did he believe it: it had been discontinued!

Had Nie Xing even changed his phone number in order to get away from Old Nie?

He had truly cut off all ties. How ruthless!

He could have told it to him like a man that he did not want to speak to him anymore!

He should not have run like a coward, he should have manned up and conveyed his heartlessness to his face.

Old Wang was furious.

“What’s the use of raising such a son? A few years ago, I was happy that he went to a scientific research unit. Now, he’s totally forgotten about who got him there in the first place. Look at my junior college son. He didn’t do as well as that boy, that’s right. But he’s my biological son. If I tell him to go east, he wouldn’t dare go west! After dozens of years of beating, smacking, and scolding, my boy didn’t turn out as well as yours. But filial piety has to come from the blood. Look at him being respectful and obedient every day, and look at you…”

As he rambled on, unaware of his own words, Old Wang started comparing sons.

When Old Nie remained silent, he could only stop halfway through his sentence and sigh.

He stared at the chess pieces on the table, having lost the mood for that game.

Old Wang’s eyes gradually darkened, as if he had made a decision. His tone was grave:

“Old Nie, is there any way to treat your illness? What did the doctor say?”

His expression was serious.

Old Nie said in a low voice, “Terminal illness. There’s no way out.”

The topic seemed to be very heavy and suffocating.

Old Wang’s voice was a little hoarse.

“All these years, you’ve been my only old brother. If you’re sick, We’ll treat you. Don’t be afraid of the money! I still have some savings here. It’s not much. Take it as an emergency!”

As he spoke, he shakily reached into his shirt and took out a crumpled passbook from his inner pocket.

He placed it on the coffee table and handed it to Old Nie.

Old Nie was a little surprised. When he saw the passbook, tears immediately flowed out of his eyes:

“You stingy bastard, why are you pretending to be rich here!? This is your child’s money. It was meant for a new house. You can’t steal from him, much less me!”

“Quickly take it back!”

This was the money that Old Wang had been preparing to buy a new house for his child.

He was a stingy person and usually saved a lot of money. He never once lent money to anyone. He could be considered to have gained notoriety concerning it in the entire neighborhood.

Recently, he had been preparing to buy a house. He had been bragging about it in the entire neighborhood for a few days. He heard that he had seen the house yesterday and was preparing to buy it!

It was a large family with four bedrooms and a living room. It was beautiful!

It could be considered as the family property that his son had prepared for his grandson. Based on the current house pricing and real estate, it would definitely be more and more profitable.

It was bound to gain value as time went by.

He did not expect that this famous miser would actually take out all this money.

This was something Old Nie had not expected.

It caused tears to flow down both of their faces.

“I have a heart too. Don’t tell me I really have to watch you go through this alone?”

Old Wang’s rough and experienced hand wiped the tears off his face and he spoke with a trembling voice.

They had been friends for a lifetime. Now that Old Nie had cancer, he felt even worse than Old Nie!

“To think that you graduated from junior high school. You don’t understand what terminal illnesses are. I’ve already said it’s a terminal illness. If money can cure a disease, how can it be called a terminal illness? Take it back quickly. Don’t think that I don’t know. This money was saved by your son. Don’t let him lose it!” Old Nie said with tears in his eyes.

He forcefully pushed the passbook back. He could not take the money, no matter what. It would be useless even if he took it.

Without waiting for Old Wang to speak, Old Nie quickly continued:

“How many years have we been brothers? In this lifetime, I have no more regrets. The only thing I can’t rest assured about…”

“It’s still that brat Nie Xing!”

Old Wang was about to scold that kid for being unfilial, but he was interrupted by Old Nie’s sobs and reached out to stop him again.

“Hear me out!

“My will, the House Property Certificate, and all my savings are behind that clock! If I leave before getting to see my boy, remember to help me put it away! … When he comes back, give it to him!”

His voice trembled, and it was filled with endless desolation and despair.

Old Wang turned his head and wept.

“If you want to give it to him, give it to yourself. If I were you, he doesn’t deserve any of it!”

“That’s my boy you’re talking about!”

Tears flowed out of Old Nie’s eyes, and he was indignant.

Then, he coughed violently, and some blood spurted out.

Cough, cough, cough!

Old Wang’s expression changed. He quickly staggered forward and patted his back with concern.

As Old Nie’s trembling hand pointed at a bottle of medicine on the table, Old Wang quickly took it over, poured out two pills, and handed it to Old Nie.

“Eat it quickly!”

He found another glass of water and gave it to him.

After Ole Nie finished taking the medicine, his condition became even worse. His face was pale and powerless, and he could only lie on the sofa in the living room, gasping for breath.

…

Boom!!

At that moment, in a distant desert, a strong explosion suddenly erupted!

The shockwave visible to the naked eye instantly covered thousands of miles, and the terrifying impact shook the entire ground!

Thousands of miles away, a group of researchers wearing isolation suits were holding all kinds of equipment as they looked at the explosion in the distance with pleasantly surprised expressions!

“The power of the second shockwave has far exceeded our expectations. Looks like the Super dual-wave bullet trajectory is indeed feasible!”

“The 10250th experiment has finally achieved the desired effect! Immediately inform the higher-ups about the results of the synchronization experiment!”

“Yes!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people quickly dispersed.

Half an hour later.

In the secret research conference room.

The researchers were all present. They were holding the latest research data and equipment, waiting for someone to arrive.

The door of the conference room slowly opened, and a determined-looking old man walked in.

Behind him were a few armed soldiers armed to the teeth and armed to the teeth.

It was clear that his status was high and special!

He walked to the main seat and gave a military salute to all the researchers present with a solemn expression!

“You’ve worked hard!”

“Elder Liu!”

Everyone straightened their backs and looked at the old man in unison, returning a military salute!

The old man called Elder Liu looked at the man who was the leader of the researchers and spoke with a solemn tone.

“Director Nie, I heard that the research was successful?”

If Su Chen was present, he would definitely recognize this old man as Elder Liu, Liu Hongfei, who had attended Chu Guozhong’s funeral!
