"But he's my biological brother! This has nothing to do with genes. "Gu Nianzhi racked her brains to try to convince Lu Jin.
Lu Jin waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "The first survival need of a living creature is to reproduce. This is determined by biological instinct. Males have the instinct to maximize the spread of their genes, and females also have the instinct to choose the strongest genes to reproduce. "
"In the animal world, females will choose the strongest males to reproduce, and males will also show their strengths in front of as many females as possible."
"It's the same in human society."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She rubbed her forehead and said with a headache, "You're talking about low-level animals that haven't broken away from animal instincts. Humans are already high-level animals that have broken away from these instincts. So … "
Lu Jin scoffed disdainfully. "Humans have broken away from low-level animal instincts? You make it sound like those promiscuous men and women are very evolved. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She was so tired. Discussing the issue of men and women with a sharp, smart, and knowledgeable scientist was asking for trouble.
She took a deep breath and said angrily, "You see it so clearly, then why did you agree to do a reproductive experiment with Qin Yaoguang and use your own genes to combine with Qin Yaoguang's genes to form a fertilized egg?"
In the beginning, Lu Jin and Qin Yaoguang used their own sperm and egg cells to avoid legal supervision and conduct biological genetic experiments.
"How is that the same?" Lu Jin replied seriously, "We did it for scientific experiments, just like donating blood. We donated our own reproductive cells for experiments without any emotional color."
"Heh." Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. "Then why don't I have a few more half-siblings?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin said with a look of disdain, "Qin Yaoguang isn't as smart as me, and she's not articulate. Her words are illogical, and there are more defects in her genes. She's not worthy of my genes at all. So her genes and mine didn't successfully combine to form a fertilized egg. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Lu Jin's interest was piqued. "Actually, there's something wrong with Qin Yaoguang's egg cells. Her egg cells only successfully combined with the gardener's sperm to form a fertilized egg. Later, they were implanted in the surrogate mother's uterus and implanted. Wen Shouyi was born."
"Tsk tsk, this means that she is only worthy of that gardener, Wen Dayou."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't want to forgive Lu Jin too easily. She tried her best to keep a straight face and said coldly, "Then you admit that you deliberately chose Qin Suwen … the lawyer's genes to combine with you to conceive a fertilized egg?"
She pointed at herself, the "fertilized egg".
Lu Jin's face turned red. He quietly stretched out his index fingers and couldn't help but point at them for a while. He whispered, "… I didn't choose. I don't dare … "
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You didn't choose them?!"
Lu Jin didn't know where to look. He stammered, "… I, I really didn't."
"Then how was I born?!" Gu Nianzhi's voice rose. "Don't tell me you don't know!"
Lu Jin was forced into a corner by Gu Nianzhi, but he was worried that he would piss Gu Nianzhi off again. He didn't know what she was going to do next, so Lu Jin was really afraid of her.
He looked up at Gu Nianzhi and met her big, stubborn eyes that refused to give up. Lu Jin's heart softened even more. He turned his head away and said, "Qin Yaoguang did it."
"I was deceived by her at first. She said that she had successfully combined with my sperm to form a fertilized egg and wanted me to carry out gene editing. "
Lu Jin said awkwardly and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.
"But when I started gene editing, I had to test all the sequences. Otherwise, how would I edit it? My goal at the time was to have perfect genes. I wanted to remove the non-human genes from the human genes and make up for it with the human genes. "
"In the end, I found that the DNA on the maternal side of the fertilized egg wasn't Qin Yaoguang's DNA at all."
Gu Nianzhi understood and couldn't help but be even more surprised. "You mean, you knew that Qin Yaoguang was lying, but you pretended to be confused and cooperated with her to lie?!"
Lu Jin frowned and looked at her uneasily. He said, "I told you, I'm not as good as you think. I did lie. I knew that the DNA wasn't Qin Yaoguang's genes, but in the beginning, I didn't know whose genes it was. I only found that person's genes weren't very healthy. "
"Later, I found out that the fertilized egg after her genes and my genes were abnormally healthy and powerful. Only then did I get a little interested and secretly check Qin Yaoguang's experimental records."
Lu Jin paused for a moment, and couldn't help smiling.
"Through her experiment records, I found the egg cell she used, and naturally, I found the owner of the egg cell."
"… Was it lawyer Qin Suwen?" Gu Nianzhi asked coldly.
Lu Jin finally nodded honestly this time. "It's her. Because we wanted to treat He Zhichu's illness, our idea was to use his parents' genes for research, so we had his parents' reproductive cells. "
Gu Nianzhi was very upset. She said, "Since you have their reproductive cells, why didn't you just let them have another child to treat Young Master He?"
"Because they had already given birth to a defective child. If they gave birth to another child, the probability of a defective child would be higher," Lu Jin said honestly. "So this possibility was ruled out from the beginning."
"… You're very happy, aren't you?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. "You really hid it?"
Lu Jin still nodded and said shamefully, "I was on a whim. I thought it wasn't bad, so I gave birth to it and tried it."
"But I didn't expect Qin Yaoguang to personally be a surrogate mother. She moved the fertilized egg into her womb and implanted it."
"Qin Yaoguang claimed that this fertilized egg was a fertilized egg between me and her. No one in the lab knew. She kept her experiment records herself, but after I found out the truth, I set a fire in her lab and burned all her experiment records."
Lu Jin's expression didn't change as he spoke, as if he didn't realize what he had done at all.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless for a long time. "I didn't expect you to be so naughty."
Lu Jin glared at her. "I told you, I'm not as good as you think. And I've carefully speculated that Qin Yaoguang's experiment records would only be happier if they were burned. She would never pursue the matter of who burned her lab. "
Qin Yaoguang was indeed very happy. Her only record was gone. Everyone thought that this child was her biological daughter. Even Qin Suwen didn't know.
Therefore, Qin Yaoguang had been in a very good mood throughout her pregnancy. She didn't have the usual vomiting of pregnant women, nor did she have pregnancy spots or stretch marks. She was extremely healthy, and she didn't become ugly like other women when they got pregnant. Not only did she not become ugly, but she even became prettier. She was like a piece of unpolished jade that was about to bloom with dazzling brilliance.
Gu Nianzhi listened attentively to Lu Jin's memories and said thoughtfully, "Because of your concealment, she didn't know that you actually knew who my biological mother was."
Lu Jin shook his head repeatedly. "Of course she didn't know. She always thought that I was kept in the dark. She thought that only she and her father, Qin Baye, knew this secret."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"Qin Baye knows too?!"
"Yes, Qin Baye definitely knows. Qin Yaoguang's things have something to do with her father, Qin Baye. " Lu Jin muttered, "Qin Baye should just be a good businessman and earn his money. Why is he so concerned about genetic research?"
"Don't you understand?" Gu Nianzhi sneered. "Because he didn't earn all this money on his own. He relied on the foreign financial group behind him to make his fortune. Of course, he can't just earn money. "
"Those people didn't give him money to make money for them at all. Those people are after something else."
Since Qin Baye had boarded the pirate ship, he couldn't go up and down as he pleased.
Lu Jin pursed his lips like a clam, afraid that he would accidentally spill the beans.
Gu Nianzhi was indeed Qin Suwen's biological daughter. What she had just said was almost exactly the same as what Qin Suwen had said all those years ago.
Lu Jin's gaze fell on Gu Nianzhi, and a trace of guilt and pain suddenly flashed across his eyes.
However, when Gu Nianzhi looked up, Lu Jin's gaze had already shifted elsewhere.
Gu Nianzhi didn't notice the change in Lu Jin's expression. She was immersed in her own thoughts and muttered to herself, "… Does Qin Suwen know the truth?"
Lu Jin's eyelids twitched. He didn't answer the question and quickly changed the topic. "What does it matter if she knows or not? She's no longer in this world anyway. "
Gu Nianzhi looked deeply at Lu Jin and didn't continue asking.
Indeed, whether Qin Suwen knew the truth or not wouldn't help her with what she wanted to do. It might even affect her logic.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi let Lu Jin go. She looked at him quietly for a while and said, "Dad, if you still want me to call you dad, then don't stop me from doing what I'm going to do next, and don't cause trouble. I don't want to see you turn yourself in or commit suicide. "
Lu Jin smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. "I won't … I won't … but Nianzhi, what do you want to do?"
"I still want to sue Qin Yaoguang for murdering Qin Suwen." Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists and suppressed the sourness in her heart. "Qin Suwen … My mother's family was harmed so badly by Qin Yaoguang's family. I don't believe that my mother's sudden death had nothing to do with them!"
Lu Jin's heart sank. "Nianzhi, you still insist on filing a complaint? What if the truth is harder to accept than you think? "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"What do you mean?" Gu Nianzhi raised her head, revealing her snow-white and delicate neck like a white swan. "If you want to tell me what you said to my mother at the time so that I don't have to take a detour, of course I welcome it. But if you don't want to tell me, I completely understand and won't pursue the matter. "
"But if you don't want to tell me, don't refuse me. I'll find the truth myself." Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists. "I believe I can find the evidence I want myself. I can convince the prosecutor's office to submit a complaint to the court!"
Lu Jin looked at her silently. He was sure that if he didn't say it, Gu Nianzhi would never know what he and Qin Suwen had said on the day she died.
He just didn't expect that Qin Suwen would suddenly die that day.
Lu Jin nodded slowly. "If you want to find the truth yourself, of course I won't stop you. As long as you remember not to get yourself involved. "
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, how could she guarantee it?
But she still nodded. "I'll try my best. I'll try my best to finish the file within two days and send it to the prosecutor's office. "
She would give the prosecutor's office and the court two more days to review it. She hoped that the case would be officially filed on the day He Chengjian woke up and a court hearing would be scheduled.
Lu Jin sighed and felt very depressed. "You'd better ask He Zhichu to go with you to the prosecutor's office. His identity is different, and it's also for his mother's sake. He can't stay out of it."
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Lu Jin in surprise. "Dad, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."
Lu Jin's mood gradually improved from Gu Nianzhi's praise. He looked up and said, "I actually know all about interpersonal relationships, but I just don't want to do it. I feel so stupid. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
