Chapter 272 As long as you obey, you won't suffer.

wrong.

This woman is bluffing him.

If she truly recognized him, she would have called out his name, not these ambiguous words.

She had no idea who he was.

"Haha, Miss Gu is really joking."

"However, I have prepared enough sincerity for you."

The man paused for a moment, and the laughter in his voice sent chills down one's spine.

“I gave Fu Beichen a doll that looks exactly like you.”

"You don't need to worry about your husband forgetting you, so you can work here with peace of mind."

Gu Xingnian bit her lower lip hard. It was indeed them who did this.

"Some people, even if they are transformed to look exactly the same, have completely different personalities and preferences."

"Are you so sure that Fu Beichen won't recognize that guy?"

The man laughed again.

"If he recognizes you, that's his good fortune, and your misfortune."

Gu Xingnian's heart trembled violently.

His meaning was clear: if Fu Beichen discovered the truth and took action, his life would be in danger.

"This place is very secluded. A scientist used to do some research here. Later, everyone here was slaughtered, and it became a desolate island."

"Moreover, there is a special magnetic field interference here, so no signal can be sent out, and ordinary people would never be able to find it."

"Just stay here and relax."

The man spoke with great confidence, firmly believing that no one could take her away from this place.

"Then let's talk about your business."

Gu Xingnian chose to compromise for the time being. She didn't want to confront him head-on; she just wanted to figure out his true intentions first.

"I just love N's straightforwardness."

"I believe you have already seen Kavan's anti-aging injection."

He turned around, and through the golden mask, his eyes looked intently at her, the mask gleaming coldly in the light.

"I hope you will make this dream come true."

It turns out that the man in front of them was the real mastermind behind Kavan's grand scheme.

"There is no gene in this world that can make people young again."

"Your idea is simply impossible."

She rejected him outright.

"Yes! And we've already succeeded halfway."

The man clapped his hands.

The heavy metal door opened with a thud, and Ice Wolf walked in with two little girls.

Two identical little girls, around ten years old, were wearing white dresses and looked like a pair of exquisite porcelain dolls, so beautiful that it was hard to tell them apart.

Gu Xingnian's heart skipped a beat. Was this a clone?

The man saw through her thoughts and explained directly, "This is not a clone."

He pointed to the girl on the left, "This is the older sister. She was born with a genetic mutation and will always look like a child. In fact, she is already twenty years old."

He then pointed to the one on the right, "This is the younger sister. She could have grown up normally, but we implanted her older sister's genes, so she will forever retain her childlike innocence. As for her appearance, we only made a slight modification, and they can look exactly the same."

"Once this gene can be stabilized, I can give those wealthy people who desire to stay young a beautiful new look, and they will be able to maintain their youthful appearance."

The man spoke eloquently, his eyes shining.

Gu Xingnian stared into his eyes.

She recognized that look—sharp, calculating, and crazed—but for a moment she couldn't place it.

“You know very well that this kind of foreign gene is neither stable nor can it be maintained for long.”

"You're just fooling yourself."

Gu Xingnian earnestly exposed his lie.

"If you, God N, say it's okay, then it definitely will be okay."

"I'm only giving you three months."

"This is your secret base. You don't want the whole world to see you as a 'god' in a different light, do you?"

The man forcefully interrupted her.

He added, "If we succeed, I will share all the wealth in the world with you. If we fail, there will be no more God N in this world."

This is a blatant threat.

Therefore, the "scapegoat" he was looking for was God N. If the truth came out, he could simply leave and blame everything on her.

"There are no research subjects I need here," she replied coldly, her excuse.

"Haha, I've prepared everything you wanted, so you can do it with peace of mind."

The man picked up the remote control and pressed a button.

The giant screen on the wall lit up, displaying a dense array of surveillance footage.

The scene is filled with pure white rooms, each containing more than a hundred "dwarfs," who are all genetically mutated individuals.

He randomly tapped on one of the screens and zoomed in.

Inside was a woman who looked old, with wrinkles all over her face, but was wearing a children's dress.

Her eyes were vacant, and her movements were slow.

Gu Xingnian felt a chill run down her spine.

The man in front of me is absolutely insane.

"Send N God back to rest."

"Give her the best room, the best food, and I want her to be in the best condition to work for the lab."

The man waved his hand.

Ice Wolf walked in and gestured for Gu Xingnian to enter.

Gu Xingnian followed him out and finally saw the entire laboratory.

This is a barren and desolate island. The main body of the laboratory is a huge structure built underground, with only a few dilapidated houses on the surface serving as a perfect cover.

In the distance, there were three detached villas, surrounded by heavily armed guards.

"Don't anger the sir. As long as you obey, you won't suffer."

"Don't even think about running away, you can't get out."

Ice Wolf walked beside her and even kindly offered a reminder.

Gu Xingnian glanced at him but said nothing.

Her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to get everything out of here... How could Fu Beichen find her?

...

Mingdao

Bai Yu suddenly saw a string of coded intelligence messages on his watch and jumped out of bed.

The excruciating pain of the ruptured wound instantly spread throughout his body, causing him to furrow his brow.

"I need to leave the island; Xixi is in danger."

Lao Ji grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy! The wound hasn't healed yet. If it gets infected, you'll die!"

"I can't care about all that!" Bai Yu's eyes were bloodshot, like a trapped wild beast.

Lao Ji stood in front of him, his attitude firm. "If Miss Gu is really in trouble, I will definitely send people to rescue her. We will remember her contributions to the country and to humanity."

He changed the subject, his tone becoming scrutinizing.

"But I heard that Fu Beichen and his wife are still in Rongcheng, F country today. Are you sure she's in danger?"

Bai Yu's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Impossible." He said those three words with absolute certainty.

Lao Ji didn't argue anymore, but simply took out his phone, opened a photo, and handed it to him.

In the photo, Fu Beichen is carefully leading a woman out of the hospital. Sunlight falls on her beautiful profile. That woman is Xixi.

Bai Yu's breathing stopped.

He stared intently at the photo, his mind completely blank.

Lao Ji patted his shoulder heavily, "Focus on recovering. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Bai Yu remained silent for a long time, his Adam's apple bobbing, before finally uttering only a few words.

"I want to make a phone call."

Lao Ji handed him a phone with permissions removed.

Bai Yu's trembling fingers immediately dialed Sheng Weiwei's number.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

"Yuanyuan, have a drink..." A familiar voice, etched into his very bones, came through the phone, tinged with weariness and helplessness.

Immediately following was a polite yet distant "Hello."

"Weiwei." His deep voice rang out, carrying the weakness and hoarseness unique to those injured.

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned and didn't respond.

After a few seconds of deathly silence, the baby's loud cry suddenly pierced through the receiver.

"Bai Yu, Yuanyuan has refused to drink milk these past few days and has lost half a pound. She's been throwing a tantrum." Sheng Weiwei's voice was trembling with suppressed sobs, all her strength crumbling in an instant.

“I’ll go back tomorrow.” He said without any hesitation, his tone firm and leaving no room for argument.

He softened his voice, almost pleading, "Let me coax her."

Sheng Weiwei put her phone on speakerphone, and his sexy, magnetic voice immediately filled the entire room.

"Yuanyuan, Daddy's here."

"Yuanyuan, be good, you want milk. Daddy will be back to see you soon."

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, Daddy misses you."

Sheng Weiwei looked at her daughter, who had been crying incessantly in her arms, now looking at the phone with her big, dark eyes, full of curiosity.

She quickly put the bottle into her daughter's mouth.

The little guy immediately started sucking hard.

"She drank it, she drank it! Keep calling her name." Sheng Weiwei was so excited that large tears fell from her eyes, and her voice trembled.

"Yuanyuan, be a good girl and drink your milk. Daddy will be back soon."

"Yuanyuan, my baby, Daddy loves you."

His voice, transmitted through the electricity, gently soothed his daughter, and tickled her heart like a feather.

"Weiwei, I miss you." His voice was deep. "That day, breaking our promise was out of necessity."

"Don't be angry, okay?"

Sheng Weiwei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the bitterness and surging emotions in her heart.

"Where you go is your freedom, you don't need to explain to me, I'm hanging up now."

She hung up the phone immediately, then looked down and gently patted her daughter who was drinking milk. No one saw that her tears were falling more freely than the rain outside the window.

Bai Yu listened to the busy tone on the phone, his brows furrowing tightly into a deep frown.

He forced himself to calm down and dialed Fu Beichen's number again.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"It's me. Is Xixi with you?" he asked directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sweet and gentle female voice came through the receiver.

"Honey, I'm hungry. I want to eat your cooking."

Fu Beichen's voice sounded normal, even doting, "Okay, wait for me a moment, I need to take a client's call. You sit quietly, I'll come down and cook for you in a bit."

After a series of light footsteps, the sound of a door closing was heard.

Fu Beichen's voice instantly turned cold, anxious and suppressed, "Big brother, where are you? Something happened to Niannian."

...

After hanging up the phone, Fu Beichen went downstairs, unable to hide the coldness on his face.

The woman ran towards him like a butterfly, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her face in his chest.

Fu Beichen's body stiffened instantly.

A strong feeling of nausea rushed to his throat. He wanted to push her away abruptly, but he had to pretend to be affectionate.

"Honey, you look unhappy. Is something wrong?" Bingying looked up and asked sensitively.

Fu Beichen placed his hands on her shoulders, pulling her a little distance away, and made a gentle expression with his stunningly handsome face.

"It's nothing, there's just a problem with business."

"It's the alumni reunion today, didn't you forget? Change your clothes, I'll go to the school with you."

Bingying was stunned for a moment.

Alumni reunion? Meeting so many unfamiliar classmates would definitely give me away!

She quickly shook her head and said coquettishly, "There are too many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. I just want to be with you and have some time alone together."

Fu Beichen's eyes darkened. "Alright, I'll go out to dinner with you alone."

He and Bai Yu had just reached an agreement on the phone: they must keep the imposter calm and buy time to find Niannian.

When necessary, they should also attend public events together to completely confuse the enemy.

Bingying smiled with satisfaction, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and then turned around and straddled his lap.

This action is bold and suggestive.

"But now, I want to eat you first." Her tone was coquettish, and her eyes gleamed with undisguised lust.

After saying that, she slightly pouted her red lips, about to lean in for his sensual kiss...
