On the other side, Lowell Lockheed let go of the person who was supporting him, and looked at Li Jie with a civilized stick: "Take a walk with me, an old man, for me to go out now." ”

"Mr. Lockheed's health doesn't seem to be very good, won't it have an effect?" Li Jie looked at him trembling and trembling, and he could fall down as soon as the wind blew.

"Yes, sir. You've been standing for too long today, so why don't you talk to the car? Rowell's entourage was a tall, sharp-eyed black man, who echoed with concern on the side, his expression was very serious, and his tone was a little anxious, obviously genuinely concerned about Rowell's body.

"Nope! I can still walk! Rowell's voice rose sharply, and then he gasped for breath, and it took nearly ten seconds for him to subside.

The old man's ability to control his emotions was very strong, and he quickly calmed down and said, "It's okay, let Mr. Li accompany me, Charles." Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my assistant Charles Campbell. ”

"Hello, Mr. Li." Charles Campbell greeted Li Jie in a deep voice, and then silently stepped back.

Lowell Lockheed tilted his head, and then walked forward with a civilization stick, although it was still steady, but the slight trembling arm still revealed his weak body.

"You have a good assistant who can see that he cares about you from the bottom of his heart, Mr. Lockheed." Li Jie looked at Charles Campbell, who was silently following not far behind him, and exclaimed.

"Charles is an orphan, poor child, and I was only five years old when I adopted him, and more than thirty years have passed. He is like my relative, and he is also my knight. Lowell had a smile on his face, clearly very proud, and seemed proud of his upbringing of Charles.

"Please forgive me for my gaffe, Mr. Lee. You know—in the face of years and sickness, people sometimes feel powerless, even for me. He continued in a somewhat self-deprecating tone.

"You don't need to care, Mr. Lockheed. In contrast, young people like me are even more unable to control their temper. Li Jie responded with just the right smile, but he never took the initiative to talk about the other party's intentions.

On the brightly lit streets of Manhattan, a tall and handsome young Chinese and a twilight old man with a civilized stick slowly walked side by side, followed by many bodyguards and retinues, as well as a line of limousines in the distance, this strange combination attracted a lot of attention, and even some people who recognized Li Jie raised their mobile phones to take pictures, or wanted to rush past the bodyguards.

"Hopefully it didn't affect our conversation, Mr. Lockheed." Li Jie shook his head.

"Before I met you, I once thought that you were just a relatively good young man, and you would also have the psychology of being lively and chasing fashion. But now I don't see it that way. Rowell Lockheed looked at Li Jie. You're special, Mr. Lee. Aside from the factors of appearance and voice, it is still easy to ignore your age, and there seems to be a maturity that transcends time. ”

As a director of Citigroup and at the helm of Lockheed, even if he is old, few people can face Rowell calmly. There are even some people who are so nervous that they stutter as soon as they meet his eyes. But Rowell had a very strange feeling that the young man in front of him seemed to be in a very relaxed state all the time, and even observed himself in a subtle posture of superiority, which made him very uncomfortable.

"That's a prize, sir. This may have something to do with my experience of being alone for a long time. Li Jie responded unhurriedly, and his tone was very sincere.

Although he didn't believe his reasons at all, Lowell Lockheed couldn't find anything wrong. It's just that after walking a short distance, he is already exhausted and panting, sweat began to flow from his forehead, and his face became a little pale.

"Are you okay? Or should you go back to rest? Li Jie asked in a concerned tone.

"It's fine, just a little tired." Lowell slowly stood still, calming his breath slightly. "I'm not in good health, I heard that your lab is working on anti-cancer therapy?"

Is it finally here, Li Jie smiled in his heart. "The laboratory under the Corona Corporation is still in the early stages of research and development, and has not announced the research projects and experimental progress to the public, and it seems that Mr. Lockheed is very well informed."

"Mr. Li is applying for a loan from Citi, and it is just a normal procedure for us to learn about the property under your name." Lowell replied, seemingly casually. "What's more, there are no impermeable walls in the world, right?"

Li Jie would not believe Lowell Lockheed's statement, this old man definitely spent a lot of effort investigating. Knowing that he applied for a loan with the profit share of the anti-EDD drug "Vilida" as collateral, the value itself would exceed $1 billion anyway, and Citi has no reason to know so much about his laboratories that have not yet been fully opened. And while not every lab is as heavily guarded as Gilbert Gordon's Corbister 1, there are also tight and professional security measures, not to mention that all researchers have signed confidentiality agreements that would otherwise be impossible for normal procedures to access.

In this way, it seems that his condition has reached a very serious point and there is not much time to wait.

"As an old man, this kind of pain is unbearable. Mr. Li, would you be willing to provide me with some help? Rowell's eyes glowed with a strange color, and although his tone did not change, the atrophied skin covered with purpura was revealed, showing his urgency and hope. He didn't ask Li Jie why he didn't have any doubts about his condition, after all, it was difficult to hide, and if he couldn't even do this bit of homework, he wouldn't need to bother making an appointment.

"The project in the laboratory is still in the development stage, and there is a big gap between the mature treatment. Mr. Lockheed, I would love to help you, but we still don't have any success stories so far. So, I have to say with regret that I'm afraid the situation is not as rosy as you might expect. Li Jie's answer was very truthful, he did not mention Lisa's aunt Maria at all, although most of the other party knew.

"I've heard of someone whose condition is under control?" Lowell was reluctant to give up the initiative, but this matter was so important to him that he didn't have time to be patient with Lee.

"That was the only case where some measures were taken when the condition was critical, and it was only controlled and did not deteriorate. Sir, I have to warn you that a treatment like this, which is immature and does not have any successful cases, is inherently fraught with risks. So if it's not a last resort, I wouldn't recommend you give it a try. Li Jie said with a serious expression.

"Is it a question of funding? That's not a problem, your loan will come in quickly, and I can sponsor your lab if needed. Lowell was still reluctant to give up.

"There is no problem with funding, and scientific research and development cannot be done overnight. Mr. Lockheed, I promise, if progress is made in R&D, you will be the first to know, can you? Li Jie's tone did not change at all, although he seemed to be sincere, he didn't know why it gave people a cold and alienated feeling.

The sparkle in Lowell Lockheed's eyes disappeared almost instantly, and he became dim and silent, as if he had aged much in an instant. God knows! He was ecstatic to learn that Corona's Sprenier, an obscure laboratory that had made a breakthrough in anti-cancer therapy. After trying almost every possible treatment, his kidney cancer was still too serious to control, but he never gave up on finding an effective treatment - despite all the doctors telling him that it was a very good result, and that it was a lot of money.

Lowell Lockheed's desire to survive was so strong that he completely ignored the fact that he himself was in his seventies, and that it was time for the sun to fall. He is like a king who loves power and glory, unwilling to let go of any life-saving straw, hoping to continue to prolong his life, even if it costs anything.

So one can imagine his disappointment when he heard Jack's answer, but the gritty Lockheed at the helm quickly relented and said in a deep voice, "If there's any good news, be sure to let me know." Thank you, Bruce, your loan will be available soon, and hopefully it will be helpful to the research. ”

In fact, Lee Kit was confident that if Sprenier treated Rowell Lockheed in all directions, he could improve his condition. But he won't do this, if it's too easy to get, how can the other party cherish the value in it? Since there is such a powerful person who is in urgent need, of course, it is necessary to ensure that the benefits obtained are maximized. After all, what you have is time, and the other party is the most lacking in time. He believes that it will not be too long before the two meet for the second time.

After lying a few words about the other party's body, Li Jie immediately said goodbye, and Gus quickly drove the car over.

"Whatever the method, I want to know the latest developments in the Splanier Lab. Also, find a way to get your hands on the R&D records. Looking at Li Jie's car gradually moving away, Luo Wei no longer had the slightest kind of pleasant face before, and his face was gloomy and cold, and he gave orders.

Charles Campbell, who was standing solemnly behind him, nodded silently and stepped forward to support him.

Li Jie sat in the car, watching from afar as this haunted tycoon melted into the dark night, as if he vaguely saw his pale soul swaying and trembling in the wind, which could disappear at any time.

Time, as expected, is the enemy of mankind.

If you want to fight against the laws of nature, how can you not pay the price?
