"Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Qiu felt that the way Lin Jiu looked at him was different from before.

"It's okay, Mr. Qiu, I'm probably just tired." Lin Jiu walked to Mrs. Tang's recliner and found that there was a glass wall between them.

Old Mrs. Tang sighed, "Xiaojiu, we've been irradiated, so you can't touch us directly."

Lin Jiu stretched out his hand and placed his palm against the glass wall, staring at Old Mrs. Tang. "Grandma, is there something you haven't told me? Will I die young like my mother?"

Old Mrs. Tang saw what Lin Jiu was thinking. When Mr. Qiu went to throw away the coconut shell, she walked to the glass wall and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what happened?"

"I used to faint frequently and each time I was diagnosed with malnutrition. This time, the doctor said I was iron deficient."

"What?" The small electric fan in Mrs. Tang's hand fell on the beach at her feet.

Lin Jiu's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Grandma, can you tell me everything?"

"Xiaojiu, it's all grandma's fault. You and your mother are both miserable people." Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of old Mrs. Tang's eyes.

Her hands pressed against the glass wall, slowly sliding down, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.

Mr. Qiu hurried over and helped her onto the recliner.

Lin Jiu stared at Old Mrs. Tang with her hands clenched tightly. She knew that there must be a huge secret hidden in this.

After a while, Mrs. Tang recovered and asked Mr. Qiu to step aside for a while.

"My dear Jiu, actually your grandfather's surname is not Tang, but Xiao. I deceived everyone in order to control the Tang Group." Old Mrs. Tang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue.

Lin Jiu's eyes were red and he bit his lips tightly.

"Xiaojiu, your biological grandfather was the previous master of the Dark Night Group." Old Madam Tang looked at Lin Jiu, "Xiaojiu, I'm sorry for you and your mother."

"Grandma, this isn't your fault."

"It's my fault!" Old Mrs. Tang threw the tissue away angrily. "The Xiao family has a family hereditary disease. Not everyone will develop it, but once it does, they'll start to show symptoms of iron deficiency in adulthood. Their blood will turn brown, and they'll eventually die from ulcers all over their bodies. No one will live past the age of twenty-five."

The drink bottle in Lin Jiu's hand fell to the ground, and the drink spilled all over the floor.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Old Mrs. Tang in disbelief.

"What a misfortune! I never thought both you and your mother would develop this disease." Old Mrs. Tang suddenly lifted the scarf draped over her calf. "Xiaojiu, grandma's calf has started to rot because of the radiation. Don't worry, grandma will be with you."

Lin Jiu was already slumped on the sand. It turned out that even if he was reborn, he would not live past the age of 25. It seemed that everything was destined by heaven.

"Xiaojiu, cheer up and listen to what grandma has to say." Old Madam Tang walked to the glass wall and placed her palms against it. "Regarding the Dark Night Group, probably not many people know about its origins. It's only because I was once the master's woman that I know about it."

"In the late Qing Dynasty, the Xiao family began doing business in Southeast Asia and made a fortune. At that time, the Xiao family proposed to establish a pharmaceutical company, hire the most skilled doctors, and secretly develop a cure for the family's genetic disease. In modern times, the Dark Night Pharmaceutical Company changed its name to the Dark Night Group, and continued to conduct medical research and development in secret."

“But until the current master Xiao Ling, the Dark Night Group has changed.

Because Xiao Ling didn't develop this genetic disease, he began to reduce the funding for the research and development of the Xiao family's genetic disease, and spent a lot of money on biochemical research, researching biochemical robots and biochemical weapons, and colluding with the President of Nanyang...

The current Dark Night Group is no longer the Dark Night Group of the past."

After hearing this, Lin Jiu clenched his hands and asked, "Grandma, do you know who killed my mother?"
