Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 97: Extraordinary Brothers

Facing Zhu Zhengyu's question, Li Nanke thought for a moment and said, "I have ALS."

Bai Yuefeng was stunned: "What ALS?"

He thought about it, and seemed to have thought of something. He jumped up in shock: "Fuck, Lao Li, no wonder you didn't say anything when I asked you to come out to play these few times. It turns out you have AIDS."

Zhu Zhengyu almost couldn't hold back his expression and spit out his wine after hearing this.

He swallowed a mouthful of wine, and seeing that Li Nanke didn't seem to be talking nonsense, he said solemnly: "ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurological disease, in the later stages of the disease, the whole body will be paralyzed, respiratory failure will cause death."

Bai Yuefeng was completely stunned and said in disbelief, "Terminal illness? Lao Li, are you kidding? When was it diagnosed?"

Zhu Zhengyu glanced at him and continued, "This disease can be cured, but it will cost nearly 10 million yuan to treat it. However, 10 million yuan is no different from a terminal illness for him."

Bai Yuefeng was silent. How could Old Li, a healthy person, suddenly fall ill with such a serious illness?

He didn't say anything. He took out his communicator and checked it for a while. After a long silence, he said, "Lao Li, I still have some savings, a total of 400,000 yuan. I'll transfer it to you..."

He slammed his fist on the table and said, "Fuck, I can't help you much. Even if I ask the gang members to borrow money, I can't lend you much."

Bai Yuefeng picked up the wine glass, toasted Zhu Zhengyu, and drank the wine.

He wiped his mouth and said, "Old Zhu, you have many connections, can you help Old Li..."

Zhu Zhengyu took out a pack of cigarettes, threw one to Bai Yuefeng, and was about to throw one to Li Nanke, but he stopped.

With a ding, he lit a cigarette. The flame of the cigarette butt flickered in the dark, and light blue smoke rose.

Zhu Zhengyu took a few puffs of his cigarette, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "The company has employee medical discounts, and I can't get too big a discount at my level."

"But I hope someone can help Xiao Li spend two or three million less."

"For the rest, I can only take out a mortgage and try to get early treatment to stabilize my condition."

Bai Yuefeng was stunned: "Mortgage loan? Lao Li and I are both penniless, what can we mortgage, kidneys?"

"Who would count on your weak kidneys?" Zhu Zhengyu exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I just bought a house in Development Zone A, which can be mortgaged for about 2 million..."

Bai Yuefeng figured it out: "Old Zhu, why did you suddenly buy a house? Are you going to marry your girlfriend?"

"Why do you mind so much?"

Li Nanke let out a breath. Since he became seriously ill, he has deliberately stayed away from several old friends.

He thought he was alone and free of worries, but the true friendship between men was usually not obvious. Only now did he realize that maybe... he could find an anchor.

Li Nanke raised his glass and toasted the two: "My serious illness is not a disaster, but a blessing in disguise."

As he said this, he took out his ID.

Bai Yuefeng took the certificate in a daze, and couldn't help but exclaimed "WTF" after taking a look at it.

There is a striking black and white logo on the ID card holder, a circle with three arrows pointing into the circle from different directions.

The logo is extremely simple and recognizable, representing the control of an unknown force or object.

A certificate from the Crisis Management Bureau?!

Bai Yuefeng is a person who makes fake certificates, so he can naturally tell the authenticity of the certificates. The certificate issued by the Control Bureau is definitely authentic!

But the Crisis Management Bureau...is that something that ordinary people can access?
When ordinary people hear the word Crisis Management Bureau, the words they associate with it are taboo, disaster, death, and out of control.

The Crisis Management Bureau is a real official and a real behemoth. It is more terrifying than the Tax Inspection Bureau, the Riot Suppression Task Force, and the Intelligence Investigation Bureau.

All giant companies and family chaebols maintain close cooperation with the Control Bureau, and the tentacles of the Control Bureau can extend to every corner of the world.

He was a pariah who had escaped from the disaster-stricken safety zone, and he knew very well how powerful this behemoth was. Zhu Zhengyu took the certificate from Bai Yuefeng and was shocked to the point of being speechless when he saw the unique logo of the Control Bureau.

"Do you remember the forbidden disaster in the A69 safe zone?"

"You were not at the center of the disaster at the time, but I was directly affected by the disaster. As a result, I developed a malignant disease, but the disease has been dormant and has not yet occurred..."

Li Nanke briefly explained what happened and told them that he became ill because of this and that he had recently awakened extraordinary powers. He was absorbed by the Control Bureau and became an official.

Zhu Zhengyu remained silent. He had already prepared himself to lend a hand to his old friend who was stuck in a quagmire.

Otherwise he wouldn't have come here today.

When is a man at his most handsome? It is when he remains silent but expresses his attitude with actual actions. In the end, he bears everything alone, leaving his brothers with a chic, lonely and deep back.

I didn't expect that my brother would become very rich...

And he even turned into a superman. Where the hell can I go to seek justice?
Zhu Zhengyu opened the leather case and saw Li Nanke’s portrait and the title of intern in the research department on the ID card.

For a moment, he was speechless.

He remembered that Li Nanke did not even complete his secondary school education and dropped out halfway through, but now he has the title and identity of an intern in the research department of the Control Bureau.

This is really too magical.

Bai Yuefeng also felt that the world had become magical. His friend, who he had played with since childhood, had actually become the legendary extraordinary person.

While he was sighing, he also felt a little lost. Among the three, Lao Zhu became a company employee, and Lao Li was even more amazing, becoming an official staff member of the Control Bureau.

Up to now, it seems that I am the one who is doing the worst. It’s really frustrating to compare myself with others.

Bai Yuefeng forced a smile and said, "Old Li, I haven't seen a superhuman before. Can you show me some of your skills to open my eyes... If it violates the rules, just ignore what I said."

Zhu Zhengyu didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed his curiosity. After all, everyone has fantasized about having super powers when they were a child.

Li Nanke pointed to the old-fashioned speaker in the corner, and the 'magnetic storm' feature started to work, with directional electromagnetic pulses bursting out.

A 'stab' sound.

Sparks flashed from the speakers, the music suddenly stopped, and a wisp of burnt black smoke came out.

"Fuck, that's awesome!"

The two of them looked at him with shining eyes, and there was something wrong with the way they looked at him.

Li Nanke showed off his extraordinary strength to satisfy the curiosity of the two people, and raised his glass again:

"To say anything else is just hypocrisy, the friendship is all in the wine."

Bai Yuefeng then smiled happily. Even though Li Nanke had become a superman, he was still the same Li Nanke.

He knew that if he encountered any difficulties and asked Lao Li for help, the other party would definitely not frown.

Zhu Zhengyu picked up the wine glass: "I won't go home until I'm drunk today."

After three rounds of drinks, the two men were already lying down.

The communicator vibrated. It was a message from Jiang Lei, informing me to report to the bureau tomorrow morning. Li Nanke had been promoted.

He looked at the two drunk people in front of him and smiled.

When you break everything apart, it doesn't matter whether there is an anchor point or not.
