DPM Chapter 58-Divorce Part 2
Translated by Snowfall77
“Yes, worst comes to worst, you can start over,” Wu Xingyun told Luo Ying, “Set up your own research institute, I’m sure it’ll be brilliant throughout the ages! And you won’t have to worry about your results being swallowed up by someone else.”
Luo Ying located Ouyang Yi’s prepared divorce agreement, and was about to sign it.
But with lightening quickness, Ye Fan seized the pen, a little angry: “You two idiots! Why would you give everything to that scum Ouyang Yi?! What’s worth winning should be fought for.”
Taking the proposed divorce agreement, Ye Fan ripped it to shreds: “Luo Ying, this contract, you should be the one to draw it up!”
Having said that, Ye Fan went to a desk drawer in the study, taking out a stack of paper. “What are your conditions, Luo Ying? List them out, and I’ll help you write a new agreement.”
Staring blankly, Luo Ying shook her head: “No, I……I’m going to make a phone call.”
Ye Fan and Wu Xingyun looked at each other with dismay, however Luo Ying took them both into the study. There she thoroughly searched for quite a while before finding a business card.
Seeing the card, Ye Fan noted the one name on it. It was very familiar. Saying it was a ‘household name’ would be exaggerating, yet Ye Fan had known the name for a long time.
Luo Ying tightly gripped the card, hesitating.
“Who is this guy?” Wu Xingyun asked Ye Fan lowly.
“He’s a senior general in the military,” Ye Fan replied, “I remember him being a Major General before the Saer fog and everything, I just didn’t expect he’d still be alive……”
Coming to a decision, Luo Ying dialed the number quickly. A man’s calm, middle-aged voice answered: “Hello.”
“Dai Rong? This is Luo Ying. I intend to separate from Ouyang Yi, and work on my own from now on. I hope……I can have your support.”
There was a sound of something falling over the phone, as if the other was startled.
After a very lengthy pause, Dai Rong belatedly responded, seeming pleasantly surprised: “Very good! You finally figured it out, goodness, this is great news……I’m not at the base right now, I’ve got business to finish, but I’ll reach there in ten days.”
Luo Ying went: “Mmm.”
Dai Rong wasn’t finished: “I’ll arrange protection for you right away. By the way……You……Why do you suddenly want to do it yourself? Are there conflicts?”
Mum for a moment, Luo Ying finally said: “I want to divorce him.”
Again there was sound of something being dropped over the phone, followed by confused activity.
Presently Dai Rong’s voice came through: “I’ll be there the day after tomorrow!”
Three minutes after Luo Ying hung up the phone, Ye Fan got instructions from his superiors. No matter the cost, he was to protect Luo Ying’s safety.
Ten minutes later, numerous armed soldiers arrived at Luo Ying’s residence, inside and outside on full alert.
Half an hour later, Ouyang Yi returned, bringing his own people. With over two dozen mercenaries from his companies, Ouyang Yi had first gone to Ye Fan’s residence. Finding that Ye Fan hadn’t returned, Ouyang Yi hatefully circled back to his own home.
Earlier, deficient in force, Ouyang Yi had been out-matched by Ye Fan. Therefore he’d brought people with him, and was completely convinced that, with so many experienced mercenaries,—everything was in his grasp!
Yet as soon as Ouyang Yi reached the front gate with his men, his way was barred by soldiers.
“Pardon me, this is a military base, no entry allowed.” The guard at the gate refused with a severe expression.
Ouyang Yi stared blankly, then glanced at the mercenaries behind him. Big and strong, they came with a great deal of combat experience. And……It was Ouyang Yi’s genetic research company that was responsible for providing food for the space travel of ‘Noah’s Ark.’ He felt utterly confident, that even in the event of conflict, the military wouldn’t actually dare to do anything to him. Besides, Luo Ying’s previous peacetime social circle had been very small, mostly other scientists who only knew the inside of a lab. Ouyang Yi was quite clear on who Luo Ying’s friends were. There wasn’t one with true power, no one who could take Luo Ying from the palm of Ouyang Yi’s hand.
Evaluating the guarding soldiers, Ouyang Yi figured they’d probably been called in secretly by Ye Fan, and Ouyang and his men could force their way past. Merely five minutes later, it became painfully obvious that the mercenaries were no match for the military group. The military did dare to open fire……Proving it ruthlessly.
Unreconciled, Ouyang Yi yelled from below: “Luo Ying! Luo Ying, you come out!”
A coat draped over her shoulders and her expression rather apathetic, Luo Ying stood on the third floor balcony.
“Are you insane?” Ouyang Yi shouted, “What the hell are you planning to do?”
Luo Ying didn’t speak.
It was Ye Fan who went downstairs and opened the door: “Luo Ying intends to divorce you. All the research results that she participated in belong to her.”
Ouyang Yi laughed: “You’re joking. What results would she have been capable of without my funding?”
“Please leave,” Ye Fan rejoined, “The appropriate divorce agreement will be provided to you three days from now.”
Ouyang Yi didn’t leave, both hands clasped on his chest: “Ye Fan, the criminal charges for secretly moving troops, can you take responsibility? I know your commander very well.”
Ye Fan smiled: “I just received the order from my commander. He told me to protect Luo Ying and not allow anyone harass her.”
Unbelieving, Ouyang Yi gaped for a moment, until he suddenly processed what Luo Ying had done.
His expression turned greatly astonished, Ouyang Yi bellowed at Luo Ying: “Luo Ying, don’t be impulsive! Have you forgotten? Haven’t you been afraid of joining with the military all this time? Do you know what the hell you’re doing now?!”
Ouyang Yi felt he about to go crazy. It’d never occurred to him that a cornered Lou Ying would rely on help from the military!
“Lou Ying, don’t you know if you rely on them, you’ll lose your right to autonomously research? Your results won’t belong to you, they’ll be classified by others! Becoming a murder weapon? What the hell are you thinking?!”
Stretching an arm across, Ye Fan leaned against the doorframe, head tilted as he watched Ouyang Yi howl.
“If not for me, they wouldn’t care about you at all!” Ouyang Yi was trying to advise Luo Ying. To him, it was clear that all her scientific research was in his company’s hands. And without it, who would be willing to invest in Luo Ying, or put pressure on himself?
Standing upstairs, looking down on that man below, Luo Ying abruptly thought she’d been very stupid to go work with Ouyang Yi at his company.
Her voice cold, Luo Ying said: “Yes, you’re right. I’m merely one person……But don’t you forget, without me, your infamous company would have nothing! Defoliants, golden rice, those genetically defective foods that compromise human immunity systems……I’m the one that made up for those deficiencies! I made the perfect safe food!
Ouyang Yi huffed: “Don’t be naïve, who’d believe that? You think, you have a falling out with me, they’ll turn their back on me? For you? As long as I say it, you won’t even be able to research, let alone get a ship ticket! You wait!”
Yet just as Ouyang Yi’s voice dropped, a jeep drove up and parked behind him.
""
The guarding soldiers promptly saluted. A man in his thirties jumped out of the car and walked to stand before Ouyang Yi, saying with an assured voice: “I have confidence!”
