Genetic modification had always been a research project for the first base, but no one had ever succeeded.
Not even Cloud Realm had any news about it.
Now, Aunt Tong was saying that the child was a successful product of genetic modification.
No wonder Shangguan Yun had been in good health since he was a child. He was fine no matter what kind of poison he came into contact with. His body was also extremely resilient.
Take the blood sample this time, for example. It only took a day for him to recover fully.
Huo Yao's mind raced for a long time before she said, "So you never let him leave the clan all these years because of this?"
"Sort of." Shang Guantong nodded.
"But why didn't the news get out?" asked Huo Yao quizzically.
If the technology was successful, the first base would have announced it to the world instead of still being in the research phase.
"That's because when I took Little Cloud away, I destroyed all the information." Shang Guantong's voice was cold. "Those people still don't know that their experiment was a success."
Huo Yao looked at Aunt Tong and recalled something. "So you were the one who caused the huge incident at the first base over a decade ago?"
"Probably," replied Shang Guantong softly. He did not mention that he had almost died in there.
Although the first base's defense system was nothing in her eyes, she was still a mortal and could not completely avoid so many lethal weapons.
Fortunately, she had managed to survive and brought Yun out.
Shang Guantong recalled the past and straightened his face. "Yu 'er, help me take care of that child. I owe him after all."
Huo Yao asked quizzically. "You owe him?"
Shang Guantong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Everyone has their own selfish motives."
If she did not have a motive, why would she have saved a baby?
That alone made her feel sorry for the child.
Huo Yao contemplated for a few seconds. She could roughly guess the reason, so she did not probe further. "Mhm, I will."
"Thank you, Aunt Tong."
Huo Yao smiled and said, "He's my little brother."
It was only right for her to protect him.
Shang Guantong looked at the girl in front of her. She was no longer as sharp as he remembered. Instead, she was like an unpolished jade that had been tempered by time.
She seems to be doing very well now.
"Auntie Tong, when do you plan to go back?" asked Huo Yao.
Shangguan Tong composed himself. "I'll head back after I've settled some matters."
She came out not only to bid farewell to Jing Feng, but also to put an end to everything.
Huo Yao could vaguely sense that Aunt Tong was ready to die. She went quiet before she said, "Let me know if you need any help."
"No, it's just a personal matter." Shang Guantong refused.
Huo Yao nodded. "Sure. You can call me anytime."
"Alright."
**
The two sat in the cafe for more than an hour before Shangguan Tong left.
Huo Yao stood at the door and watched the taxi leave with a heavy heart.
At this moment, a black car stopped by the roadside.
The man alighted from the car and walked towards her.
"Am I late?" Min Yu stood in front of Huo Yao and noticed that she looked different from usual. He instantly reached out to hold her hand and asked her. "What's wrong?"
Huo Yao raised her eyes slightly and looked at Min Yu. She shook her head and said, "No. My senior has left to attend to something."
