After sending off the hundred or so people with great difficulty, Lorraine sat alone in his room and closed his eyes to rest.
Too many things had happened recently, so many that even a seasoned man like him had almost failed.
Fortunately, he still had other tricks up his sleeve other than the "perfect genes".
If a tiger didn't show its might, people would think he was a sick cat.
A vicious look flashed across Lorraine's eyes.
He picked up the landline in his study and dialed the Huaxia Empire's number.
"… Who does the sample you sent belong to?" Lorraine narrowed his eyes and tried his best to ask in a relaxed tone.
The person who answered the phone from the Huaxia Empire sounded a bit old.
After confirming Lorraine's identity, the person didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lorraine, are you done with the verification? We've done what you asked us to do. When will you do what we want you to do? "
The person who answered the phone was Qin Baye.
He was playing with two walnuts the size of a child's fist in his hands. They were so tightly coiled that they were about to bleed.
Lorraine was a bit impatient, but he was concerned that the Qin family was their only business partner in the Huaxia Empire, so he said patiently, "As long as the results are out, of course I'll help you get Madam Qin Yaoguang out. I just want to know, who does this DNA sample belong to? "
He was no longer satisfied with a small sample. Now that the Lorraine family was in a difficult situation, he desperately wanted to get his hands on the whole person, not just a few genetic samples. That would be more shocking and convincing.
Qin Baye was old and shrewd. He said slyly, "You'll have to ask my daughter, Qin Yaoguang. She did so many experiments to get this set of 'perfect genes'. If she doesn't tell us, none of us will know. You also know that this kind of experiment is highly confidential. Even the lab staff might not know what's going on, let alone an old man like me who doesn't know anything. "
Lorraine was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He slammed the table and shouted, "You better not be lying to me! Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson! "
Lorraine threw the phone away after speaking and covered his face with his hands on the table.
…
In a large residence in the Huaxia Empire's Z City, Wen Shouyi sat next to Qin Baye and asked carefully, "… What about the Lorraine family? I heard that the things that their family has done have been exposed in Europe and the United States. The netizens on Twitter are now trolling them. The Lohler Group's stock has plummeted. Will it affect our family? "
Qin Baye closed his eyes and lightly tapped his fingers on the chair. He said lightly, "The Rohrer Family funded our family's orphanage over a hundred years ago, but that was only the initial funds. It wasn't much, and it has always been small."
Wen Shouyi nodded. "My mother told me a little about what happened back then. She said that at the time, the Qin Orphanage was only responsible for providing materials for the Lohler Group's laboratory in the country. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the foreign laboratories couldn't stay any longer and were ordered to close down. All the foreign scientists were chased out, and our Qin family began to build our own laboratory. "
"That's right. If it weren't for those people being chased away, our Qin family wouldn't have developed so much." Qin Baye opened his eyes and said proudly, "You're Yaoguang's biological daughter, which means you're my biological granddaughter. I can tell you that I've already returned the initial capital that the Loller Group gave us with interest."
"Now, our two families are in a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship, and definitely not a shareholder and employee relationship."
"Is that so?" Wen Shouyi's eyes curved into crescents as she propped up her face with one hand. "Grandfather, you're the best. You knew to buy the land here in advance. Otherwise, it wouldn't feel good to be controlled by others."
Speaking of the land in Z City, the land that had truly allowed the Qin family to enter the upper class of society, Qin Baye's expression became a little unnatural.
He sighed. "Actually, we should still thank the Lohler Family. After the situation in the country stabilized, the head of the Lohler Family, who is now Lohler's father, came to our country with the United Nations Population Fund for a visit. That's how we got in touch. "
The external connection that had been disconnected for a full twenty years was finally reestablished.
However, due to the special circumstances of the Huaxia Empire, it was not easy for foreign funds to be transferred directly to the domestic account. Thus, they used other methods to help the Qin family.
"… Remember, we didn't take a single cent from them. We made our fortune on our own. We don't owe them anything. We're in a cooperative relationship. "
Qin Baye recalled the events of the past and repeatedly emphasized this point to Wen Shouyi to brainwash himself.
Wen Shouyi smiled. "That's for sure. The ones who pay are the bosses. Since we didn't take their money, they can't boss us around. "
She then sighed and said, "I just want to do my part and help my mother regain her freedom as soon as possible."
"You helping us manage the Qin Private Hospital Group will be the greatest help you can give us. As for your mother, I'll make sure they have no choice but to personally send her abroad. "
A trace of coldness flashed across Qin Baye's eyes.
…
In the Lohler Family's mansion in New York City, Lohler looked at the documents in front of him and said to the tall, blonde, and handsome man in front of him, "Reinitz, are you sure this DNA sample came from one of these two people?"
The man in front of him was well-built and had incomparably toned muscles. His back was facing the sunlight from the window of the study, and his pale skin was flawless.
Reinitz wore a fitted suit, but the muscles on his arms were knotted and his shoulders were broad. His waist suddenly contracted, revealing a perfect inverted triangle that had the physical beauty of an ancient Greek sculpture.
He had a cigarette in his mouth. His nose was high and his eyes were deep. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, and his two black eyebrows were very neatly shaped as if they had been measured with a ruler. His eyes were exceptionally beautiful.
He squinted and exhaled a puff of white smoke. There was a careless indifference and calmness to him, as if he was thousands of mountains and rivers away, but also as if he was close at hand.
His facial features were the typical Germanic beauty. There was a small groove on his chin, and when he was expressionless, he had a religious asceticism that was a strong contrast to his aggressive figure.
Reinitz flicked the cigarette ash in his hand and said in standard Hanoverian German, "… According to our investigation, it can only be one of these two people."
He pointed to the information on the left. "The first one is called Wen Shouyi. She was the first fertilized egg that Qin Yaoguang successfully made with gene editing. She grew up in the Qin orphanage."
He pointed to the information on the right. "The second one is called Gu Nianzhi. She was a fertilized egg that Qin Yaoguang edited with her experimental partner, Gu Xiangwen, after her gene editing technology matured."
"We used to think that she was her biological daughter, but the recent lawsuit in Huaxia Empire showed that Gu Nianzhi wasn't Qin Yaoguang's biological daughter. Her biological mother is still a mystery, so I tend to think that Gu Nianzhi is the most likely."
