Chapter 348 The Secret of the Tang Family

Hua Yang pulled Gu Xiaoyue and was about to check her body, but was stopped by Xing Lie who was standing beside her.

"Don't touch it."

Hua Yang's hand was grabbed by Xing Lie, and then she heard Xing Lie's cold voice say to Tang Yu who was chasing after her, "I can give the person to you."

"Xing Lie! What are you talking about!" Hua Yang stared at Xing Lie in disbelief.

"But we must take Zhu Gaoting away!"

"Xing Lie! Let me go! You can't give Xiaoyue to them! You bastard! You..." Before Hua Yang could react, she was picked up by Xing Lie. The black energy surrounded and imprisoned Hua Yang, making her unable to struggle.

"Xing Lie, Xiaoyue will die! Let me go! She is my friend, I can't let her be taken away!"

Compared to Hua Yang's excitement, Xing Lie was like an outsider who had nothing to do with the matter. He glanced at Xiao Wu, who tightly held Gu Xiaoyue's hand and handed her over to Tang Yu.

"Boss...I." Although Xiao Wu handed the person over to Tang Yu, even Hua Yang could see the reluctance in his eyes.

Xing Lie looked at Tang Yu and said, "I will take Zhu Gaoting away. In addition, your research on Gu Xiaoyue must be conducted under the full supervision of my people."

"What? How can this be possible!" Tang Yu didn't say anything, and a psychic next to him jumped up. He and Tang Yu looked at each other and saw the annoyance in each other's eyes.

"Our laboratory contains top secrets about post-apocalyptic research on supernatural powers and biology. How can we let anyone see it?"

"Since it is something developed for all ordinary people, everyone naturally needs to know whether the process is safe and whether the result is dangerous. I have seen people selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton before, don't you think so? Butler Tang?" Yan Suan took over Xing Lie's words, looked at Tang Yu with a smile and negotiated with him.

"Our boss has given your Tang family enough face by letting you keep Gu Xiaoyue. The research institute is not limited to you. That's all I have to say."

Hua Yang was glaring at Xing Lie at this time. If looks could kill, Xing Lie would have been chopped into pieces by Hua Yang by now.

Xiao Wu did not leave with Xing Lie, but followed Tang Yu into the car where Gu Xiaoyue was accommodated. Before getting in the car, his eyes were focused on the old man Gu Renbin, whose expression was broken as he watched his granddaughter being taken away.

The prince civet cat had already disappeared in the noisy crowd, and they followed behind Tang Yu's car. One in the light and one in the dark, even if something happened, they could take care of each other and notify the outside world in the first time.

Back at the small, run-down courtyard, Xing Lie ignored everyone and went straight up to the room on the second floor carrying Hua Yang.

Each room in the small courtyard was not big. Xing Lie was in the easternmost room, which had a floor-to-ceiling bay window.

Hua Yang was gently placed on the bed by him. The black energy surrounded her but did not immediately release her restrictions.

Xing Lie looked down at her and said calmly, "If you don't lose your temper, I will remove your restrictions."

Hua Yang stared at him, just staring at him, lying on the bed, which was covered with old cotton and felt soft.

After being angry for a long time and maintaining the same posture, she suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, Xing Lie sat down beside her with a bowl of egg noodles in a watery soup. The restraints on her body had been lifted when she fell asleep.

"Go away, I won't eat."

Hua Yang stood up and wanted to leave. Xing Lie did not stop her. He just sat on the edge of the bed, smelling the fragrance of noodles and sighing, "It seems that you are not going to save Gu Xiaoyue."

Hua Yang stopped immediately, "Of course I have to rescue her! It's none of your business! If it weren't for you, Xiaoyue wouldn't have been taken away!"

"If it weren't for me, Gu Xiaoyue would die."

When Hua Yang heard this, she was suddenly shocked and stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Before I went to Haicheng, I knew that someone in the Kyoto base was researching a potion. That potion has a certain probability of awakening an ordinary person. It can also allow a psychic to quickly improve his ability level."

"You mean, the drug research was done by the Tang family?"

Xing Lie nodded.

"Since the medicine has already been made, why do we need to arrest people to research it?"

"The effects of this potion are as obvious as its side effects. Ordinary people who use the potion but fail to awaken will age faster and eventually die.

Similarly, the side effects of a psychic using potions to accelerate the enhancement of his superpowers will deplete the psychic's potential.

Gu Xiaoyue looked like that, she must have been injected with drugs without knowing it. And if nothing unexpected happened, the only person who could have done this was her father, Gu Heqiu."

Hua Yang clenched her fists, "I'm going to kill him!"

Xing Lie stood up, grabbed Hua Yang's clothes on her back with one hand, and handed a bowl of noodles to her with the other hand.

“Eat it while it’s hot and then go.”

Hua Yang looked at the noodles in front of her, her stomach growling. "You're not going to stop me?"

Xing Lie smiled helplessly, and gradually lowered the distance between his head and Hua Yang. "Why should I stop you?"

"Then why did you stop me during the day?"

"Because of the antidote."

Hua Yang nodded in sudden enlightenment and said, "Antidote? Since there is an antidote, then the side effects of this potion won't be a problem at all!"

"There is only one antidote. Don't let them relax their vigilance. The location of the antidote is not that easy to find! Besides, if Gu Xiaoyue didn't go to the laboratory, Yan Suan and the others wouldn't have discovered the secret of the Tang family."

"The secret of the Tang family? What?"

"They collected some scorpion corpses from the zombie siege and were researching new zombies. They used the scorpion corpses on the corpses and it worked.

Next, they might inject this new zombie virus into a very powerful mutant for experimentation."

Hua Yang nervously grabbed Xing Lie's arm, "Are they planning to use it on Xiao Yue?"

Xing Lie shook his head and looked at Hua Yang, who looked anxious and angry. "Eat the noodles obediently, and I will tell you slowly."

Hua Yang looked at the noodles in her hand, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, while she said vaguely, "Hurry up and tell me, we'll go save Xiaoyue after I finish eating."

Xing Lie saw Hua Yang start to eat noodles, and the expression on his face softened unconsciously.

"Yan Suan found Lu Yanran in the basement of their laboratory. I don't know how she ended up in Kyoto, but I think a lot of things have happened in Haicheng during this period of time."

“…”

"Eat slowly and don't choke."

When Hua Yang heard the name, she quickly rejected the noodles in her mouth, "What did you say? Lu Yanran? The Lu Yanran with the beast ability? The Yanran with a snake tail?"

Xing Lie nodded.

"I knew the Tang family was no good! They suddenly colluded with the people in the laboratory!"

"laboratory?"

Seeing Xing Lie's puzzled expression, Hua Yang didn't know how to explain the existence of this laboratory. Once she told him, it would definitely involve her rebirth.

Should I tell Xing Lie about my rebirth?

Xing Lie was very smart. When he saw Hua Yang didn't even eat the noodles and just stood there in a daze, he knew that this woman was looking at him for something.

Seeing her troubled look, he stroked her head with one hand, "It's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But I hope that when you decide to tell me, you won't lie to me."
