Qin Yaoguang finished calling her subordinates and got into her car. She thought for a moment and called He Chengjian.
"Brother He, this is Yaoguang." Her voice was very anxious. "I just came to see West Camp Hospital to see how Nianzhi is doing, but I found out that Ah-Chu had already taken her away. Do you know where Ah-Chu took her? "
He Chengjian had just come out of a meeting and took the phone from his secretary. He was also very surprised. "What? Ah-Chu took Nianzhi away from the hospital? How is Nianzhi? Is she okay?! "
He was very worried that if Gu Nianzhi died, his only son would do something stupid …
"She's fine, she's fine. Brother He, don't worry." Qin Yaoguang's voice was full of passion. "I heard from the hospital that Nianzhi has woken up. She's really lucky. Her constitution is even better than what we've studied before. "
"I think her constitution might have really achieved genetic self-evolution! Brother He, do you know what this means?! We didn't think of this at the time, because in theory, the time it takes for genes to evolve is limited by the lifespan of humans, so genetic evolution can't be completed in one generation. "
"Her genes can help Ah-Chu repair his defective genes, which is already her limit. But we might have all been wrong. Her genes have even greater potential waiting for us to unearth! "
He Chengjian: "…"
Although Gu Nianzhi wasn't his daughter, He Chengjian felt very uncomfortable hearing Qin Yaoguang talk about her biological daughter like that.
It was just like the earthworms he hated when he was young. Even though he knew that they wouldn't have any ill intentions towards humans, the sight of them made goosebumps involuntarily appear on his body.
Thinking of this, Gu Nianzhi's analogy of Qin Yaoguang being an "earthworm that had become a spirit" surfaced in his mind.
The last bit of guilt he felt towards Qin Yaoguang was instantly wiped away.
Qin Yaoguang still didn't know about the changes in He Chengjian's mind. She was full of hope as she said, "What a pity. If she really dies, we can still carefully study which gene fragment has achieved self-evolution and self-repair. Perhaps we can make a major contribution to our country's human genetic research and achieve a breakthrough that transcends the era!"
He Chengjian: "!!!"
Like He Zhichu, he used to think that Gu Nianzhi didn't kiss Qin Yaoguang, her biological mother, because Qin Yaoguang was indeed busy with experiments and medical work and had neglected her daughter. Therefore, the mother-daughter relationship between the two of them was very weak.
Moreover, Qin Yaoguang had repeatedly said that she didn't treat Gu Nianzhi as her own daughter. Gu Nianzhi had never acknowledged Qin Yaoguang as her own mother. She had even cut her own mother's hands with a knife the moment she returned.
In He Chengjian's opinion, the mother and daughter were on the same level. Neither of them was easy to deal with.
But this time, Gu Nianzhi had really walked on the edge of life and death. Even now, he didn't know if she would survive.
As for Qin Yaoguang, what her biological mother cared about was actually her "physique" and her "genes". She even said that she was "really lucky" and regretted that she couldn't use her corpse for research …
He felt that something was amiss.
It wasn't that He Chengjian had never seen scientists who devoted themselves to scientific research, but even the most ignorant and crazy lunatic in science knew how to dote on his daughter..
He Chengjian frowned and said unhappily, "From what you're saying, you want Nianzhi to die?"
Qin Yaoguang was stunned for a moment. She quickly understood what she had accidentally said and quickly stammered, "Brother He, that's not what I meant. You know, I've always been one-track minded. As long as it's related to my medical research, I can't think of anything else. Nianzhi is my biological daughter. Why would I want her to die? "
"Haha, one-track minded. No wonder Nianzhi said that you're an earthworm that has turned into a spirit. You're really one-track minded." He Chengjian obviously didn't think much of Qin Yaoguang's explanation.
Qin Yaoguang was annoyed by her slip of the tongue, but she knew that denying it again and again would only make He Chengjian's impression of her worse.
Therefore, she quickly stopped denying it and said, "I know that brother He is kind-hearted and has loved Nianzhi since she was young. It's Nianzhi's blessing to be able to marry into the He family. "
"But death is inevitable. It can be as heavy as Mount Tai, or as light as a feather. If she … can contribute to human genetic research, as a mother, I won't stop the path of human evolution just because of that mother-daughter relationship. "
F * ck, even He Chengjian, a cunning military boss, was about to kneel down when he was accused of "stopping human evolution".
"Wait, wait, wait …" He Chengjian quickly stopped her. "First of all, we still don't know what Nianzhi's condition is like. Maybe she really died. How can you be so sure that her genes can repair and evolve on their own?"
"Also, we don't know if she's alive or dead. We don't even know where she is. It's very uncomfortable for you to think about all this nonsense. As a biological mother, you're so cold-blooded to your own daughter. I really doubt how much sincerity you have for Ah-Chu. Are you so enthusiastic about Ah-Chu's congenital genetic defect also for your research? "
He Chengjian's expression turned cold.
He was a suspicious person. Once he was suspicious, he would think deeper.
He Chengjian didn't care if Qin Yaoguang used her own daughter as an experiment, but if she dared to put her hands on his only son, he would skin her alive!
Qin Yaoguang shivered. It was as if she could feel He Chengjian's strong displeasure and disgust from the phone waves from a thousand miles away.
This feeling was fatal to Qin Yaoguang.
She had only loved one person in her life, and that was He Chengjian.
No matter how good or bad he was to her, whether he gave up or got close to her, she had never changed her mind.
However, He Chengjian could not love her, he could ignore her, but he could not hate her. He absolutely could not!
Why did she hate Gu Nianzhi so much for calling her an "earthworm spirit"? Because she knew that He Chengjian had hated earthworms since he was young!
Qin Yaoguang's eyes turned red. She choked and said, "He Chengjian! You have no conscience! Would I do that?! I love Ah-Chu more than your wife! Don't forget, I was the one who suggested gene therapy to give birth to a child and use her genes to treat Ah-Chu's illness. Your wife was against it! "
Qin Yaoguang slammed the phone down and covered her face as she cried.
Half of her life had passed, but the man she loved deeply was still standing on the clouds and treating her indifferently.
He Chengjian was also momentarily dazed when he heard Qin Yaoguang's crying words.
Yes, his wife was against it at the time. She was unwilling, absolutely unwilling to use another child's life to save her own child.
Qin Suwen was a lawyer. Not only did she object verbally, but she also invoked various laws of the country to prohibit them from "treating human life like grass" and using other people's genes to create small lives for them to experiment on.
However, he knew that she loved her son very much. He couldn't bear to let her watch her son walk towards death step by step, so he secretly cooperated with Qin Yaoguang and that lunatic. Finally, he found a way to not break the law. Or rather, that lunatic found a loophole in the relevant laws.
By a freak combination of factors, Gu Nianzhi was born …
It wasn't until He Zhichu recovered six years later that he confessed the whole thing to Qin Suwen.
Qin Suwen was so angry that she went crazy. She asked for a divorce and couldn't live with him anymore.
He knelt in front of her every night and begged her not to leave him, but Qin Suwen insisted on leaving.
He Chengjian was about to go crazy. On the day that Qin Suwen was about to find a lawyer to handle the separation procedures, the lunatic suddenly sent Gu Nianzhi to his house. He said that he and Qin Yaoguang were too busy to take care of her and asked for their help.
Qin Suwen's heart softened when she saw the six-year-old girl hiding under the table and looking at them timidly.
She wouldn't leave, nor would she get a divorce. She even quit her job temporarily to take care of the little girl, who had just arrived and would tremble in fear at the sight of light, and her son, who had just recovered from a serious illness.
She let Gu Nianzhi get engaged to her son and had always told He Zhichu not to let this little girl down.
He Zhichu was only 16 years old at the time, but his mother had already begun to tell him to treat Gu Nianzhi well.
From then on, she didn't allow her son to have too much contact with his father, because she thought that "cold-bloodedness is contagious."
During those two years, Qin Suwen ignored him and had been in a cold war.
However, he was willing to endure it. As long as she didn't leave the house, he would be satisfied.
It was just that he didn't keep her around.
Two years after Gu Nianzhi arrived at their house, when He Zhichu was 18 years old, Qin Suwen suddenly passed away.
All the forensic tests said that she had died of acute myocardial infarction caused by strong stimulation, and not from external injuries.
In short, Qin Suwen had been "angered to death", literally angered to death.
However, He Chengjian wasn't satisfied with this explanation.
Qin Suwen had been living well at home, but after seeing that lunatic, she had been so stimulated that she had died of acute myocardial infarction. Wasn't that lunatic's fault?!
Because that lunatic was the last person to see Qin Suwen.
What had he said to her to make her so angry?
Also, that lunatic had left her in the lurch because even if Qin Suwen had an attack, she wouldn't have died immediately.
Therefore, he had ignored the obstruction of others and stubbornly issued a wanted order for that lunatic, Gu Xiangwen, and used the power of the entire country to hunt him down.
He Chengjian's face was livid. He clenched his fists tightly and thought to himself that this lunatic still knew his limits.
If he hadn't died in the car accident and fire in front of everyone, he would have found him no matter what. He would have asked Qin Suwen what he had said to make her "die of anger"!
..
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi was living in the penthouse apartment in the west district of C City. She had just opened her eyes and saw that she was no longer in the hospital.
After sleeping for a few more hours, her strength had recovered further.
Although her chest and back were still burning with pain, as if someone had dug out her heart and ravaged it, it was already slightly better than before.
She looked at the three people in the room.
He Zhichu was sitting by her bed. After an unknown period of time, He Zhichu's military uniform was in a mess.
The person standing in front of the bed should be the Ace of the Far East. There was still a pool of dark red blood on his chest.
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She felt a little uncomfortable.
She had been prepared to die to take the bullet for him, but now that she wasn't dead, she felt extremely uncomfortable and awkward when she saw this person again.
Gu Nianzhi automatically ignored this person and looked at CEO Lu Yuan, who was standing opposite her.
"CEO Lu …" Gu Nianzhi's voice was very weak. "Let them all go. I want some peace and quiet."
He Zhichu: "…"
The Ace of the Far East: "…"
Lu Yuan instantly understood what Gu Nianzhi meant. He sighed and said, "You two, you heard what lawyer Gu said. She doesn't want to see you. Shouldn't you follow the patient's wishes?"
He Zhichu frowned and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, can't I just stay outside with you? You can't be alone in your current state. "
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and said softly, "… Then did I have the surgery?"
"Of course you did." He Zhichu nodded. "A very good doctor performed the surgery on you and removed all the shrapnel from your body. Even the shrapnel embedded in your heart was no exception."
"This doctor is so good …" Gu Nianzhi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan smiled at her. "Of course he's good. If this doctor wasn't good, he wouldn't have been able to save you, right? "
Gu Nianzhi also smiled at him and said, "That's enough. Since I've already had the surgery, just find a caregiver. There's no need to trouble the two of you."
He Zhichu was in a difficult position. He knew Gu Nianzhi's condition very well. If he were to find a caregiver to take care of her, what if that person's mouth wasn't sealed?
"Nianzhi, don't be willful. Let me take care of you. I swear, I'll leave immediately after your injuries heal. If you don't agree in the future, I won't see you again. Is that okay? "He Zhichu only wanted to make up for his and his father's mistakes.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could tell that He Zhichu was really scared this time. He probably wouldn't insist on the engagement anymore.
As long as he didn't pester her about this matter, she didn't have any other ill feelings towards him.
Although she hated his father, she wouldn't vent her dissatisfaction with his father on He Zhichu.
"Young Master He, you're thinking too much. You know about my injury, so you're worried. But if you hire a caregiver and just say that I was stabbed with a knife, wouldn't that be fine? Don't tell me you're going to tell others how I got hurt? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled so much that her eyes curved.
She knew that He Zhichu had made a mistake in his thinking.
She was afraid that others would see her gunshot wound heal too quickly, which would cause unnecessary panic and rumors …
But if the caregiver didn't know what kind of injury she had suffered, then she could recover whenever she wanted. There would be no consequences.
Lu Yuan was amazed by Gu Nianzhi's intelligence, but he deliberately looked confused. "So lawyer Gu's injury wasn't caused by someone stabbing her with a knife?"
He Zhichu: "…"
The Ace of the Far East, who had been watching from the side, said slowly, "Lawyer Gu is wise. Let's leave it at that. Young Master He, where's your medical equipment? Aren't you going to hurry them up? Then I'll take my leave first. "
He nodded at Gu Nianzhi briskly and turned to walk towards the door.
He Zhichu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Ace of the Far East had left. He held Gu Nianzhi's hand and put it under the blanket. He said, "Okay, you rest first. I'll find a caregiver for you?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. "Young Master He, you're too big of a target to find a caregiver. Let's not bother two people for the same thing. Let President Lu help. "
She then said softly, "Young Master He, I think it's best if you don't appear for the time being. If I'm not wrong, my mother must be looking for me all over the world right now. If she knows that you took me away, do you think she'll look for you first? "
He Zhichu's body trembled and he immediately said, "I understand. Then you take care of your injuries. I'll go lure them away."
She couldn't let Qin Yaoguang reach in again.
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and agreed. "Thank you, Young Master He. I'll call you when I recover."
The subtext was that before her injuries healed, she would appear in front of her.
He Zhichu understood what she meant. Although he was very sad and reluctant to part with her, his rationality told him that this was the best way.
Gu Nianzhi was already awake. With her recovery ability and the special care she had found, she shouldn't have a problem taking care of herself.
"Then you must call me when you recover. I won't contact you for the time being because I'm afraid of being eavesdropped. "He Zhichu stood up." Fortunately, I didn't tell you the address of the medical equipment. "
At that time, he had been extra careful and had someone send it directly to his base.
Lu Yuan was very satisfied and said, "You can send it to my company. I'll drive it here personally."
"Thank you, President Lu." He Zhichu glanced at him.
Lu Yuan's attention to Gu Nianzhi was unusual. It wasn't that He Zhichu didn't know that there was definitely a problem.
However, Gu Nianzhi trusted him so much that He Zhichu didn't say anything else.
Lu Yuan had always had a good reputation. Moreover, he had such a big company here, so he wasn't afraid that he would cause trouble.
The bigger a business person was, the more he would cherish his own feathers. Because he no longer had nothing, he would have a lot of concerns and wouldn't easily do anything illegal.
In addition, ever since Gu Nianzhi met Lu Yuan, the difficulties in her life had been easily solved. She knew that Lu Yuan wouldn't do anything bad to her.
He Zhichu finally left with a heavy heart.
When Lu Yuan saw He Zhichu get into the car and drive away from the neighborhood from the surveillance camera, he made a leisurely call. "You can come down now. I'll be leaving first."
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to stop Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan had already left in a hurry.
The sound of the door opening and closing came from outside. After a while, her door was pushed open, and Lu Jin's smiling face appeared in front of her.
"Little Simba, the happiest day of the Lion King's life was also at Disneyland."
