Chapter 813: Chapter 813: There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch in the World

Song Jinghuan didn’t mind.

"Quan San Ye, I don’t have much status, so naturally, you don’t think much of me. However... there’s one thing; I think you’ve underestimated me."

Quan Jinbei cast him a cold glance, "Underestimated?"

"Madam Quan is in a coma, right? Originally, I wasn’t sure. If you hadn’t shown up here, I couldn’t guarantee that my plan would work. But... since you’re here, it means—"

Song Jinghuan lengthened his tone, "You need me."

Quan Jinbei squinted his eyes, the coldness on his face palpable, "Don’t think that just because you said these things, I will believe you."

"Of course, whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you." Song Jinghuan seemed to agree wholeheartedly, "However, I need to remind you of one thing."

"The only way to wake Madam Quan up is with my help."

Song Jinghuan clicked his tongue twice, "Madam Quan is still a movie queen. If she doesn’t wake up from this, wouldn’t it be a great loss for everyone?"

"Or perhaps... you don’t need a conscious Madam Quan. What you want is merely the title of her husband. Whether she’s conscious or not makes no difference to you. If that’s the case, you can just pretend I never said this; I don’t mind."

Quan Jinbei didn’t believe Song Jinghuan really had a way.

"Why should I believe what you say? There’s no proof."

Song Jinghuan nodded, "That’s right, no proof."

"But... I have evidence."

He said this with a rather smug expression, "I have a program that can stimulate the brain."

"What program?"

Quan Jinbei’s instincts told him this wasn’t simple.

Song Jinghuan smiled with pride, "Although I don’t know how Shi Yaoguang helped that girl evade the robot’s missile attack, it’s clear that making a missile change its trajectory isn’t easy."

"Or to say, the fact that she could fly up three stories to save someone without any external help already says enough."

"However, there’s one thing."

Song Jinghuan spoke with unwavering confidence, "I don’t know how she did it, but I’m certain it has something to do with brainwaves."

"The way she made the missile change its path was likely through a similar power."

"Such rapid power consumption could likely cause brain death."

"If I’m right, Madam Quan is in that state now."

After hearing this, the light in Quan Jinbei’s eyes darkened.

He was right.

But precisely because he was right, the problem was more serious.

If what he said was true, then they could only use the method he provided.

But...

Could a method given by such a person really be reassuring?

Or maybe, the method he provided was another plot?

"No need to look at me like that, Quan San Ye. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to Madam Quan."

He seemed a bit regretful as he spoke, "In fact, Madam Quan is suffering on your behalf."

Time shifted back to the day Nana accidentally entered his clinic.

When Nana broke into the clinic, he gave her a task.

To kidnap Ye Nuannuan.

As long as Ye Nuannuan was taken out of Emperor University, the rest could be handled by the robot.

Initially, he intended for Ye Nuannuan to perish.

With Ye Nuannuan dead, Jiu Yanchuan would definitely fall out with him for his beloved woman.

At that time, he could step in and reap the benefits.

Unexpectedly, however, things took a turn.

After calling Quan Jinbei and Shi Yaoguang, they switched routes, which he knew.

But to him, it made no difference.

No matter where they went, they followed his plan.

The only unexpected part was that when the robot pushed Ye Nuannuan off, Shi Yaoguang appeared and even flew up to the third floor to save her.

She even saved Chen Shu afterward.

He had done so much, yet his goal was not achieved at all; that couldn’t be allowed.

So...

He changed his plan on the spot.

Since Shi Yaoguang appeared, she should be the one to die!

It was even better than his original plan.

If only Ye Nuannuan had died, Jiu Yanchuan’s resentment toward Quan Jinbei would not be enough.

But if...

Shi Yaoguang died.

Could Quan Jinbei, who had lost his beloved, still maintain his lofty demeanor?

He looked forward to it.

So, when he let the robot self-destruct, he added a program.

This program was meant to be a backup.

If the plan had any hiccups, the backup program would activate.

It activated, but not where it was supposed to.

But that was fine.

Wasn’t there a fan of Shi Yaoguang on the scene?

With meticulous scheming, his plan was executed successfully.

The only surprise was...

Shi Yaoguang was far more extraordinary than he had imagined.

According to his logic, if Shi Yaoguang didn’t want that girl to die, she should have intercepted the missile herself.

Instead, she used some method to alter the missile’s direction.

Afterward, he stayed at the scene to confirm; indeed, she was in a coma.

As for determining brain death...

That was deduced from Quan Jinbei’s response.

If Quan Jinbei couldn’t wake Shi Yaoguang up, he wouldn’t have come to him for help.

The thought of the previously lofty man now begging for his help made him unbearably happy.

Even his gaze carried a sense of superiority.

"As long as you agree to one condition, I’ll tell you how to wake her up."

Quan Jinbei looked at him expressionlessly, "Just one condition?" Even though he didn’t know what Song Jinghuan’s condition was, he was certain of one thing.

That was...

He wouldn’t be so kind.

He would tell Quan Jinbei how to wake Shi Yaoguang, only if Quan Jinbei agreed to one condition.

But he didn’t say whether he could complete the awakening procedure by himself after telling Quan Jinbei the method.

If he couldn’t, then...

He would still need his help.

Quan Jinbei could see through his schemes.

After a brief hesitation, he agreed.

He wanted to see what exactly Song Jinghuan wanted.

Seeing his agreement, Song Jinghuan wasn’t worried about him not fulfilling his promise.

Immediately, he revealed the method to save her.

After explaining, he showed a proud expression, "I’ve told you the method. If you need anything else, feel free to find me."

Song Jinghuan’s method used scientific means to connect Shi Yaoguang’s brainwaves.

Once connected with her brainwaves, they could stimulate the neurons in her brain...

In short, according to Song Jinghuan, waking Shi Yaoguang required a brainwave-connecting device.

This device was in Song Jinghuan’s possession.

Song Jinghuan had it.

But...

He might not be willing to hand it over.

Seeing that Quan Jinbei had seen through his schemes, Song Jinghuan immediately smiled smugly, "Quan San Ye is a smart man and should understand... there’s no such thing as a free lunch."
