Finally, it was Hua Wuyan's knocking on the door that interrupted her.

Hua Changle, still furious, instinctively yelled, "Stop banging!"

Hua Wuyan indeed stopped knocking.

Hua Changle realized he'd yelled at the wrong person after he finished yelling, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother, wait a minute!"

She stood up, holding onto the sink, and took off her clothes to rinse the blood off her back in the shower.

Warm water flowed over the bleeding cracks, and the purplish-red cracks and old and new scars intertwined in the mist to form a large, eerie tattoo.

Hua Changle didn't intend for Hua Wuyan to know, at least not to be the first to know.

After spending time with him, it became clear that this fifth brother was the most clueless member of the Hua family. When he heard about this bizarre event, he was probably even more flustered than she was.

Moreover, my second brother said that our father wanted to talk to her. I don't know how much Hua Lihan knows. Let's talk first and then discuss it.

Thanks to the self-healing ability of the superhuman's body, the small cracks quickly scabbed over again. Hua Changle wrapped her body up, changed into new clothes, and cleaned up the bloodstains before letting Hua Wuyan in.

When Hua Wuyan came in and saw that she had changed her clothes, he complained, "You, if you want to take a bath, just say so. Why make such a fuss?"

"I'm your brother, not a thug! Your overreaction made me think something terrible had happened; I was practically kicking the door down from the outside!"

Hua Changle let his imagination run wild.

But after this experience, Hua Changle dared not lie down to sleep easily anymore.

It felt like carrying a terrifying doll on my back; how could I possibly sleep peacefully?

What if I fall asleep and open my eyes to find myself turned into a pool of tentacles?

She could only lean against something for a while, walk a few steps, and sit for a while, until Hua Lihan finally came home from work.

Hua Xiange came by once in the afternoon, but then had to go on a business trip due to a new engagement. Hua Lan doesn't come home often. Hua Yuezhi has been busy with physical recovery training these days. Hua Anning has been busy with matters in the Eighth District and hasn't had time to come home.

The main person with free time at the Hua family's house right now is Hua Wuyan. So he stays behind to take care of things.

Hua Wuyan pushed her to Hua Lihan's study.

Unexpectedly, besides Hua Lihan, there was another person inside.

"Big brother?" Hua Wuyan was taken aback. "You're back?"

In the study, standing in front of Hua Lihan was Hua Qingyun, the eldest son of the Hua family, who hadn't been home for several days.

Hua Changle also called him "Big Brother".

To be honest, I'm a bit rusty.

All told, she spent the least time with her eldest brother, Hua Qingyun, and her fourth brother, Hua Lanshi.

However, Hua Lanshi naturally gives off a friendly vibe, making people feel close to her even if they don't spend much time together, while Hua Qingyun is born with a cold and aloof aura. The two siblings are both exceptionally polite when they greet each other.

Hua Qingyun subtly observed her situation, then simply nodded as a greeting.

Hua Qingyun has been busy at the company these days.

Hua Changle didn't know much, but Hua Wuyan was a chatterbox who kept nagging in her ear all day long, so she knew some things too.

It is said that Hua Qingyun's company has had some friction with the She family's businesses, so she has been dealing with it recently and is very busy every day.

Hua Lihan waved his hand, signaling to his two sons: "You two go out, I want to say a few words to Lele."

Hua Qingyun and Hua Wuyan left the study and closed the door.

Outside the door, Hua Qingyun glanced at Hua Wuyan indifferently: "Xiao Wu."

Hua Wuyan felt a tightness on the back of her neck, instinctively feeling fear: "Hey, big brother, what's wrong?"

As Hua Qingyun walked, she said, "Tell me how Chang Le has been these past few days."

Hua Wuyan's eyes darted around, and she poured out her grievances: "Brother, you don't know how willful she is! She won't listen to any advice! We've all told her not to run around, not to move around, and to rest quietly..."

"Xiao Wu," Hua Qingyun interrupted him calmly.

"ah?"

Hua Qingyun pushed up her glasses: "Do you know your own name?"

Hua Wuyan replied blankly, "I know."

Hua Qingyun gave a forced smile: "Then let's get straight to the point and stop with the nonsense!"

Hua Wuyan then realized what had happened and told him directly what had happened in the past few days.

...

In the study, Hua Changle and Hua Lihan sat facing each other across a desk, the atmosphere so quiet it was almost frozen.

Hua Changle placed her hands on her lap, unconsciously hooking them together.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" Hua Lihan broke the silence.

He asked vaguely, and Hua Changle gave a vague reply: "It's much better now."

Hua Lihan didn't speak, but got up, took a leather box from the bookshelf, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of her: "This is for you."

Hua Changle looked at him with suspicion, but seeing that he looked normal, she went to open the box.

The box was about the size of a 14-inch laptop, and the outer material had a very high-quality feel; it was made from the hide of some animal, though Hua Changle couldn't tell what kind. There was a faint trace of strange energy emanating from it, leading Hua Changle to speculate that it might be made from the hide of some alien species.

There were two locks on the box. The key to the mechanical lock was on it, and the combination lock was on it. Hua Lihan told her, "The lock has been initialized. You just need to register your fingerprint."

Hua Changle opened the box, and a blast of cold air hit her.

The box's exterior was an unremarkable gray-black, but the interior was covered with a light blue, ice-crystal-like substance, on which were six syringes of injectable medicine.

Hua Changle recognized that the ice crystals were minerals containing ice-attribute alien energy, with an effect similar to a refrigerator, and the material of this box was obviously able to retain cold air and prevent alien energy from leaking out.

But she didn't recognize the medicine.

She picked up a vial; the vial had no markings, only graduations, and the translucent tube contained a light red liquid.
