Huo Shaoheng looked down at the cigarette between his fingers.
In the darkness, he couldn't see or hear anything other than the cigarette between his fingers.
When hearing and vision were limited, his mind became agile.
This spark was like a prairie fire.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly understood and said with certainty, "… Other than us, there are others who know about Nianzhi's physique. The person who kidnapped Nianzhi is among these people. "
Chen Lie looked up abruptly. "Huh? There are others? Then did they kidnap Nianzhi to …?! "
Huo Shaoheng sneered and took a puff of his cigarette. "What do they want? Isn't that the same idea as you and I have? "
"… What idea?" Chen Lie stammered.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Chen Lie and asked, "Are you still playing dumb? Can you really guarantee that there won't be a future? You promised before, but you went back on your word when you met Xiao Ye. "
"You can't guarantee it because the temptation is too great."
"If Nianzhi can really help Xiao Ye repair her limbs and we really save her in the future, can you hold back from looking for her if one of us is injured again?"
"How much bone marrow can a person have? How long does it take to recover from a single draw? "
"If the bone marrow cells don't work, will we have to start studying her other cells? Somatic cells, stem cells, reproductive cells? "
"Gradually, in your eyes, she was no longer a person, right? Instead, she's a … medicinal herb that can provide medical miracles. "
Chen Lie was scared out of his wits when he heard this. He roared, "Stop talking! I won't! "
"You won't?" Huo Shaoheng sneered. "Why have we tacitly protected this biggest secret about Nianzhi for so many years? It's so that she can grow up like an ordinary person and live among the masses! "
When this secret couldn't be kept, wouldn't it be the greatest tragedy for Gu Nianzhi?
"This is different." Chen Lie struggled on his deathbed and said weakly, "For us, it's our good wish to hope that Nianzhi can help others. Nianzhi has a choice, and we won't force her."
"But if she falls into those people's hands, she can only be a lab rat. Do you think we can be like them? "
Huo Shaoheng stared in the direction of Chen Lie's voice, his eyes sharp. "Nianzhi really has a choice? Chen Lie, in my opinion, this is moral blackmail. You're even more despicable than those people you look down on. "
These words were too harsh.
Chen Lie hugged his head and shrank into a corner.
He silently thought about Huo Shaoheng's words, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his back.
He used to think that he was different from Ye Zitan, but now it seemed like there really wasn't any difference …
The only difference was that he had access to all kinds of resources through proper channels. Ye Zitan didn't have as many resources as he did, so she had to take the risk.
Now, he was facing the same situation as Ye Zitan. He had unknowingly walked down the same path as Ye Zitan.
"Do you understand?" Huo Shaoheng let out a long sigh and threw the almost burnt out cigarette into the trash can. "We all made mistakes just now. We covet something that doesn't belong to us, and we even want to act on it. "
"Tell me, what's the difference between this and a gangster stealing and robbing a jewelry exhibition because he knows there's a treasure in it?"
Chen Lie hit his head with his hand, and tears flowed down his face. "I was wrong, I was wrong. Major General Huo, I won't use Nianzhi's bone marrow. I will use my own abilities to save Xiao Ye. Before Nianzhi comes back …"
"Before Nianzhi comes back, you better not touch her bone marrow sample," Huo Shaoheng said lightly. "Xiao Ye's life isn't in danger, and she won't be disabled to the point of being unable to move. Her injuries can wait. You don't have to let her recover immediately."
At the very least, they had to wait until Gu Nianzhi came back.
They had no right to make decisions for her.
The two of them remained motionless in the darkness as they calmed their turbulent emotions.
After a while, Chen Lie supported himself against the wall and stood up. He found the switch on the wall and turned on the light.
The light chased away the darkness, and both of them felt relieved.
They had finally balanced their guilt towards their comrade-in-arms with their apology towards Gu Nianzhi.
Everyone wanted to take shortcuts, but every shortcut had its own consequences.
Chen Lie took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Huo Shaoheng. "Drink it. You've sweated a lot too."
Huo Shaoheng's summer clothes were drenched in sweat.
Huo Shaoheng took the mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in one gulp.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and said calmly, "Let's go back to what I said just now. The other party sent a text message to sow discord. They wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but they also exposed their identity and purpose, allowing us to discover an important clue. "
This was probably something the person who sent the text message hadn't expected.
"What identity?" Chen Lie was puzzled. "You know who it is? Does that mean you can find Nianzhi immediately? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot and said calmly, "Of course not."
"Then what do you mean?"
"Although we still don't know who it is, the scope has been greatly narrowed down."
Chen Lie: "???"
"Think about it, how many people in this world know about Nianzhi's special constitution?"
Chen Lie frowned and counted with his fingers. "You, me, and Nianzhi's family, which is her father …"
"No." Huo Shaoheng put his hands behind his back and walked to the window of Chen Lie's office. "Gu Xiangwen doesn't know. He always thought that Nianzhi hadn't recovered from her illness. Don't forget, his last words before he died were all about guilt. "
"That's right … I remember now …" Chen Lie wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Then what's going on? I thought it was Gu Xiangwen … After all, he's so powerful … "
Huo Shaoheng stretched out his finger. "We can summarize all the suspicious points related to Nianzhi in chronological order."
"First, seven years ago, Gu Xiangwen's plane was hijacked and forced to land in the Cape of Good Hope. He escaped with his wife using hypnosis and hid in his submarine, but in the end, he didn't escape the Japanese torpedo. The submarine sank to the bottom of the sea for seven years. "
"Second, Gu Yanran said that Gu Nianzhi disappeared after learning about Gu Xiangwen's accident. She sailed her own boat out to sea and disappeared in the Caribbean Sea."
"Third, that year, Nianzhi was only 12 years old. She clearly disappeared in the Caribbean Sea, so why did she end up sitting alone in a car in the downtown area of C City in our country?"
"Fourth, who brought her from the Caribbean Sea into our country? How did she enter our country? Because we couldn't find her entry records. "
"Fifth, who was the driver of that car? Where did she go? Why did the car she was in suddenly catch fire and explode? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at his five fingers and said thoughtfully, "Of course, the premise of these questions is that Gu Yanran didn't lie."
If she lied, then the second and third points wouldn't be valid.
Chen Lie slapped his head and sighed. "Oh my god, this special operations forces is really not a job for humans! How good of a logical analysis and memory must be … "
"Stop flattering me." Huo Shaoheng was unmoved. "But regardless of whether Gu Yanran lied or not, Nianzhi's illness must have been cured. So, there's another person. At least there's another person who cured Nianzhi's illness. Maybe Nianzhi's special constitution has something to do with him. "
Chen Lie's eyes widened. His round eyes were like two small lanterns behind the round lenses.
"Oh my god! You mean, there's another person! Not only does this person know about Nianzhi's special constitution, but he might also be the person who cured her illness?! "
"That's amazing! That's amazing! Doesn't that mean he's a genius even more amazing than Gu Xiangwen?! "Chen Lie spun around the office excitedly." No, this person is a real genius in medicine! I really hope I have the opportunity to get to know him! "
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes. He didn't want to see Chen Lie like this. He said calmly, "This person, let's assume that this person exists. He cured Nianzhi's illness and knows about Nianzhi's special constitution. Then what? Will he kidnap Nianzhi? Will he use such a clumsy method to provoke us and try to expose Nianzhi's special constitution to the public? "
Chen Lie was exhausted from spinning around and finally calmed down. He sat on his swivel chair and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He said in a low voice, "No."
"Why do you think so?"
Chen Lie began to speak viciously. "First of all, if this person cured Nianzhi's illness and improved Nianzhi's constitution, then this person's ability is not on the same level as ours. It's even like the difference between a human and a gorilla. When have you ever seen a human be jealous of a gorilla? And show off his abilities in front of a gorilla? "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Chen Lie said angrily again, "But the person who sent the text message is obviously not the person who cured Nianzhi. Because he isn't sure how far Nianzhi's special constitution can go. He's on the same level as us! "
