Three hours later, the anniversary party ended. The guests started to leave for home.
Currently, in the living room of the Lis’ villa, Bai Chen sat looking moody on the sofa. His eyes fixed straight in front of him where Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien were sitting.
Between them were cups of tea. Judging from the steam they were letting out, it seemed they had been recently poured.
Beside him was Li Lin, and beside her were Li Cong Tian and Li Yu.
They were both staring at Bai Chen. They were waiting on his decision quietly.
It was, of course, regarding the matter Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien had asked them for help with.
Li Lin had talked to Bai Chen already within the last three hours.
Now, it was only up to the young man to decide.
In reality, not just the Li couple were waiting for Bai Chen’s answer. Tang Zi Cheng and his wife Tang Yien were also waiting as well.
They were impatient, stressed, and nervous. If Bai Chen decided not to sell them the vaccine, that would spell death for Tang Yien as a result of her GT-2 disease!
She only had months to live, how could they wait for Bai Chen’s decision calmly.
Bai Chen’s brows furrowed tightly. He was considering whether he should give them the vaccine.
His initial intention was to not give them the vaccine under any circumstances.
However, Li Lin had changed his mind. It would have been easier if she had not said anything about this.
But since she had, Bai Chen could not deny the Tang couple their request. If not, Li Lin might see him as a heartless man.
Finally, Bai Chen let out a big sigh, then said, “Fine. I’ll forgive you. About the vaccine, I will not be giving it for free like last time. There needs to be something in exchange.”
After hearing that, Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien’s bodies trembled hard. They almost forgot to breathe due to their excitement. Pure joy appeared across both their faces.
They calmed down after a bit. Tang Zi Cheng took a deep breath, bowed to Bai Chen, and replied with a shaky voice, “T... thank you, Mr. Bai Chen, for your forgiveness. We are willing to pay one billion yuan for the vaccine!”
“W... what?!?” a shocked scream sounded as soon as Tang Zi Cheng finished his sentence.
The sound came from Li Cong Tian. His face showed extreme astonishment and shock.
Li Yu and Li Lin had the same reaction. She did not scream out loud, though.
It was not only the three of them who were startled; Bai Chen was astonished and shocked, too.
He did not show it, but he felt it strongly inside his heart.
Bai Chen did not expect a billion yuan for the GT-2 vaccine.
A billion yuan to him was an amazingly colossal amount. It was an amount big enough to last a person a lifetime!
Not just one person—even a hundred people would be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives!
That offer shocked the whole room.
Even to Li Cong Tian and Li Yu, who had heard about Bai Chen’s vaccine before, it was still very shocking.
After a while, when everybody had calmed down, they started pondering the GT-2 vaccine.
They both realized that one billion yuan was not too high a price for a vaccine to cure GT-2 since it was an incurable illness. There was no vaccine available on earth that could heal it at this moment in time.
If Bai Chen’s vaccine could heal GT-2, a billion yuan would be a wholly appropriate price.
When they thought of it that way, both Li Cong Tian and Li Yu could not help but stare at Bai Chen curiously. They wanted to know what his powerful background was—more powerful than the five biggest families of Beijing.
While they were quite curious, they were also happy to know that this boy was their daughter’s boyfriend.
Li Lin finally calmed down. Her brows furrowed tightly while she looked at Bai Chen quietly.
She was curious about the deal between Bai Chen and the Tang couple, as well as the vaccine Bai Chen had. But she chose not to ask him at this time. She waited to ask him later.
Bai Chen also calmed himself down. He breathed in deeply, his serious gaze fixed on Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien.
“Do you seriously want to buy this vaccine for a billion yuan?”
“Yes!” Tang Zi Cheng nodded decisively. A billion yuan was a lot, but his wife’s life was worth a lot more than that!
“Great!” Bai Chen became excited when he heard Tang Zi Cheng’s confirmation.
Even though his mission had failed because of the Tang couple, they were bringing him a billion yuan; he had to accept it. Even if he had to lose one bottle of the vaccine.
At least he still had one more, the last one.
After reaching an agreement with Tang Zi Cheng, Bai Chen asked to go to the toilet and came back with the vaccine and a syringe. He handed them to Tang Zi Cheng with no hesitation.
Tang Zi Cheng received both things with trembling hands. His face was covered in sweat.
“Th... thank you. I’ll see to the money right away. First thing tomorrow morning! You just have to wait to receive it!” Tang Zi Cheng said excitedly.
