Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 728: Chapter 717: Not Good! Right Eye Twitching Disaster

Qiao Jing noticed that Zhan Qipei had suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at the man, only to find him

engaged in a silent battle of wills with Wu Xirui.

She rolled her eyes speechlessly and let go of Zhan Qipei’s hand, preparing to enter on her own.

When he felt Qiao Jing pulling away her hand, Zhan Qipei immediately withdrew his gaze and followed behind

the woman.

The next day, at the research institute.

Qiao Jing had just arrived at her laboratory to find an additional person there that day, Xu Mogian.

At the moment, Zhan Nanging was sitting on the couch, hands folded across her chest, staring at Xu Mogian with

a speechless expression.

"What are you doing here?"

Xu Mogian "tch"-ed and plonked himself onto another couch, even rudely propping his legs up in an exaggerated

slouch.

"I'm here to see Sister Jing, not you. Why are you glaring at me? You think glaring atwill scareor

something?"

Qiao Jing watched these two mortal enemies and pursed her lips helplessly, then started walking into the

laboratory.

After hearing noise from the doorway, Xu Mogian shifted his gaze towards the direction of the entrance.

When his eyes met Qiao Jing’s, he immediately dropped his careless demeanor.

"Sister Jing, you're here!"

Zhan Nanging stopped squabbling with Xu Mogian as well and stood up from the couch.

"Professor Qiao, good morning!"

Qiao Jing saw that neither of them continued arguing and nodded her head.

Just as she was getting ready to start working, she suddenly felt her right eyelid twitch.

Qiao Jing slightly furrowed her brows but didn’t pay it much attention; however, as she got to the lab bench, her

eyelid twitched again.

Unable to help it, she raised her hand to rub her eye, hoping to alleviate the sensation, but found the twitching

seemed to accelerate.

She had to repeatedly rub her eyes.

Noticing Qiao Jing’s actions, Zhan Nanging asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Is your eye uncomfortable?"

Qiao Jing pursed her lips, and after her eye felt a bit better, she lowered her hand and replied to Zhan Nanging’s

question.

"My right eyelid is twitching."

Hearing Qiao Jing’s response, Zhan Nanging joked:

"Your right eyelid is twitching? Isn't there a saying, ‘left for wealth, right for disaster’? Could it be... you're not

going to have sbad luck today, are you? Why else would it keep twitching?"

After saying that, she covered her mouth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm just joking, don’t take it to heart, okay?"

Xu Mogian, not liking to hear that, directly snapped back at Zhan Nanqing.

"What kind of joke was that? You predict only the bad and not the good? With that crow’s mouth of yours, you're

not cursing Sister Jing, are you?"

Zhan Nanqing initially felt a bit guilty, but when Xu Mogian snapped at her like that, she snapped back.

"Nonsense! How could | possibly curse Qiao Jing? Wasn't that obviously a joke?"

Seeing the two of them about to argue again, Qiao Jing had to intervene.

"Enough, | need to work."

Her eyelid wasn’t twitching anymore; maybe she had been overthinking it.

But lately, she really did need to be more cautious about her surroundings.

Meanwhile, at Imperial Capital Airport.

A plane from the M country had just landed, and about a dozen men with blond hair and blue eyes descended,

all wearing black suits.

These mysterious men carried suitcases and all wore black sunglasses uniformly.

When they arrived at the airport, they immediately attracted the attention of passersby.

After all, it was not common for foreigners to dress in such an enigmatic manner, looking like they belonged to

sorganization.

The man leading the group noticed the gazes of the people around him and frowned, instructing:

"Act discreetly, do not attract the attention of the people around us. Later on, we will split up and take action. We

have now obtained Professor Qiao’s personal information, and we will act accordingly. This Professor Qiao has

made significant contributions to the Empire, causing our country’s agricultural development to fall completely

behind the Empire; we cannot continue like this."

He paused and glanced at the current time.

"If we kidnap Professor Qiao and bring him to our country, then our nation will be able to develop faster and

surpass the Empire. The mission given by our superiors must be completed within two days. As an old saying in

the Empire goes, this mission, we must succeed or die in the attempt."

A row of men in black nodded solemnly, and then quickly dispersed, blending into the crowd and disappearing in

no time.

At the stime.

Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui were locked in a head-on confrontation over a piece of land.

This piece of land was a coveted prlocation sought after by all merchants in the Imperial Capital; not only

was it in the city center, but it also had an extremely high flow of people. If it were to be developed into a

shopping mall, it would certainly make a fortune.

However, with Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui participating in the auction, other merchants quietly withdrew, opting to

watch from the sidelines.

After all, why would mere mortals get involved in a battle between deities?

Zhan Qipei sat in his seat, his thin lips pressed into a straight line with no curvature, his eyes dark and brooding

as he watched Wu Xirui.

He could have secured the land within his budget, but with Wu Xirui’s involvement, the price was sure to be

driven up beyond his budget.

If he gave up the land to Wu Xirui, although the latter would suffer a loss for a while, the long-term rewards

would be far greater.

Wu Xirui’s fingers rhythmically tapped on the armrest, meeting Zhan Qipei’s gaze without flinching, and instead

looked back smilingly.

"Zhan Qipei, what a coincidence."

Upon hearing Wu Xirui’s words, a trace of ruthlessness flickered in Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes, and a chilling aura

emanated from him.

He slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, but the coldness did not reach his eyes.

"Coincidence?"

He knew that Wu Xirui had intentionally cto the auction because of him.

He could feel that lately, Wu Xirui's

moves were getting bolder, not only

It looked like Wu Xirui was officially starting his revenge.

Wu Xirui did not immediately respond to Zhan Qipei’s words and instead pretended to casually raise his auction

paddle.

"Fifty million."

After uttering these words, he turned his head towards Zhan Qipei.

"Indeed, a coincidence. We both have our eyes on this piece of land."

Zhan Qipei pursed his lips and, ignoring Wu Xirui, lifted his own paddle.

"One hundred million."
