Chapter 117 Taking Over CEW: Bonds and Weaknesses, Boosting Confidence
Qin Shu suddenly looked at the old man.
However, what awaited him was only a sigh.
The nascent hope was suddenly shattered, and Qin Shu felt utterly drained.
"So, even if the wounds heal, they still left in the end, right?"
Qin Shu slowly closed his eyes.
The dead cannot be brought back to life; how could he dare to hope that his parents were still alive...?
If this were to happen, it would be a major event that would shake the entire medical community and even the world.
This means that humanity can now use technology to combat the natural laws of birth, aging, illness, and death.
That overturns common sense and even the results of countless previous studies.
It could even change the entire world order.
Qin Shu staggered back to the sofa.
The old man stared at him for a long time, his lips moved, and finally he spoke.
"Although their brains were severely damaged, resulting in brain death, their bodies still exist and remain active."
"What did you say?!"
Qin Shu suddenly looked up.
He stared at the old man in disbelief.
He repeated, "Grandpa, what did you just say? Their bodies are still alive?"
"Boss, you tell us..."
The old man rubbed his head.
He needs to rest.
However, after waking up, he has been busy with the division of the family property, and he was also angered by the second son and his wife, so he is now feeling quite weak.
Qin Shu quickly helped the old man lie down.
"After the old man noticed something was wrong that day, he immediately had your parents' bodies brought back."
"Because the report was a murder, the police needed to collect evidence. Once an autopsy was performed, these abnormalities could no longer be concealed. So the old man had Linghai taken away and gave everyone the same story, making everyone believe that your parents died in an accident."
"On the day of the cremation, what goes into the incinerator is not your parents' corpses, but two bionic corpses made of special materials."
"For years, your parents' remains have been kept in CEW's underground laboratory."
"We're thinking, since human active enzymes can retain some cellular activity even in the case of brain death, does that mean that brain cell regeneration and regeneration can also be achieved? If so, it's not impossible for A-Yue and A-Qin to wake up."
Qin Shu instinctively grabbed Qin Yong, "So what's the result? Can it be achieved?"
Qin Yong shook his head.
"This is not an easy task."
"For the past sixteen years, CEW has appeared to be an ordinary biopharmaceutical company, but in reality, we have recruited many outstanding scientists from all over the world. The Qin family invests half of its annual revenue in this research."
"But so far, the research progress remains slow."
After saying this, Qin Yong looked at Qin Shu and placed his warm hand on his shoulder.
"Originally, neither my grandfather nor I wanted you to know these things, because the truth behind this matter is not as simple as you imagine."
"Do you think your grandfather and I don't want to avenge your parents? Do you think his colleagues and even the country don't want this matter to be resolved? Besides your parents, many front-line biological scientists have encountered danger to varying degrees over the years."
"Even in today's seemingly peaceful world, there are still various potential crises. From the original cloning, to today's bionics, viruses, and even the emotional implantation of artificial intelligence, the hand behind the scenes has never stopped."
"But that's not a problem that our Qin family alone can handle. The intricate details involved have long exceeded the control of a single family, or even a single country."
Qin Yong calmly explained the difficulties involved and the challenges that would follow.
The Qin family are just businessmen.
If it weren't for the unfortunate circumstances that led to this, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
The Qin family has already lost Qin Yue and his wife because of this, and cannot afford to sacrifice any more people.
Over the years, after experiencing the pain of losing his son, the old man had no interest in his family business.
The heavy burden of the Qin family was shouldered by Qin Yong alone.
He knew he wasn't cut out for this.
If it weren't for Qin Yue's sweeping reforms, upgrades, and reshuffling of the Qin family's businesses over the past year, which provided crucial support for the Qin family's development; if it weren't for Qin Yue's hands-on guidance back then, he and the Qin family would probably be completely different now.
Before their deaths, Qin Yue and his wife were most worried about their only son.
Qin Shu.
"Now that you have grown up safely, started your own family and career, your grandfather and I can say that we have given your parents an explanation."
“Aji and Azhou are only capable of maintaining the status quo, not expanding the territory. If the Qin family were handed over to them, the best they could hope for would be what it is now.”
“But you are different. Ash, you are the future of the Qin family. The Qin family will have to rely on you from now on, do you understand?”
"So, after today, live a good life with Aying. Leave the rest to your grandfather and me. No matter what, we will do our best to give you an explanation."
-
Outside the ward, Qin Jin paced back and forth, her heart filled with worry.
As time ticked by, the door to the ward remained closed, and Qin Jin grew increasingly anxious.
Judging from the old man's tone just now, the death of the third brother was not an accident.
For the first time, Qin Jin was annoyed that the soundproofing in the hospital's VIP ward was too good.
Finally, just as Qin Jin was about to protest to Secretary Zhou, the door to the ward opened from the inside.
"Dad! Big brother!"
Qin Jin rushed inside immediately.
However, none of them showed any unusual expression.
Qin Jin's gaze swept across the faces of the group, finally settling on the old man lying there. "Dad, how are you..."
"Dad is fine, he's just tired and wants to rest."
After Qin Yong finished speaking for the old man, Li Biru and Qin Ji also came forward.
Qin Yong continued, "There was a slight hiccup earlier, which delayed the notarization process. Now that everyone is here, let's continue discussing the division of the family property."
Qin Ji asked, "But Second Uncle and the others are all gone, and..."
"Don't worry about them," Qin Yong interrupted his son. "We have lawyers, notaries, and us. That's enough."
As the richest family in Beijing, the Qin family owns a considerable number of companies, real estates, stock options, and other assets, many of which are not limited to Beijing.
Apart from what was previously distributed to the first wife, the second wife, and Qin Jin, the old man gave all the remaining assets of the Qin family business empire to Qin Shu.
Besides CEW Biotech.
Li Biru was dumbfounded.
My immediate thought was that the old man was biased.
In comparison, the eldest son's family may seem to receive more, but in reality, it's just a drop in the ocean.
However, she is ultimately different from Xu Jinhua.
Seeing her husband's nonchalant expression and lack of concern, Li Biru couldn't help but tug at Qin Yong's arm.
Lowering his voice, he asked, "Don't you have any thoughts at all?"
Qin Yong said calmly, "That's what Ashu deserves."
Li Biru: "...Well, you've worked hard all these years, even if you haven't achieved anything great!"
"So in addition to giving Aji a share of the property, my father also gave me eight companies, including Longda."
"..."
Li Biru was successfully choked.
Just as she was gathering her words and wondering when to say more, Qin Shu spoke up.
"I don't want these."
He refused decisively, "Grandpa, I only want CEW, which my parents built from scratch."
"absurd!"
The old man struggled to get up, but Qin Yong quickly caught him.
Qin Yongchao and Qin Shu looked at each other.
"Ash, CEW is not for you."
The father and son felt that all that they had just said seemed to have been in vain.
Just because no one is watching CEW now doesn't mean it won't be in the future.
Crises and risks can arise at any time.
They did not want Qin Shu to be in danger.
But Qin Shu was not willing to do so.
For the past twenty-odd years, he has grown up under the protection of his parents, grandfather, and uncle. If he had any conscience at all, how could he let his elders continue to shelter him from the wind and rain?
He is a man.
Not a coward.
He has a responsibility and an obligation to take on his responsibilities.
Instead of hiding in the safe haven built by family members and becoming a coward.
"Grandpa, with your current health, are you able to support CEW?"
"And Uncle, you yourself have said that you are not good at business, let alone CEW research. After all, if it were really effective, we wouldn't have been stuck in the same place for so many years, would we?"
Qin Shu's words were offensive, and Qin Ji, who was standing next to him, frowned.
"Ashu, how dare you speak to your elders like that!"
"I know this sounds harsh. But Grandpa, Uncle, if that's the outcome you want, there's no better candidate than me, after all..."
Qin Shu glanced at his wrist. "I'm the one closest to the truth, aren't I?"
With others present, Qin Shu spoke cryptically.
But the old man and Qin Yong both understood.
Qin Shu was already intelligent, and the Tα-941 active enzyme that had been injected into his body made his bodily functions far exceed those of ordinary people.
In terms of ability and talent, he is indeed the best choice.
Moreover, they are his biological parents, and their long-held obsession means that even if they try to stop him, they might not be able to.
Sure enough, just as the two of them thought of this, Qin Shu continued.
"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. The Qin family has been lucky before, but that doesn't mean they will be lucky forever. You may not agree to hand over CEW to me today, but one day, I will create another CEW on my own."
After saying this, Qin Shu said no more.
He ignored the thick stack of transfer documents handed to him by Secretary Zhou, and instead took Song Ying's hand and resolutely walked out of the ward.
Watching the figure disappear through the doorway, Qin Yong and the old man exchanged glances and finally made their decision at the same time.
Qin Yong chased after him to the stairwell.
"Ashu, stop right there!"
Qin Shu stopped in his tracks but did not turn around.
“CEW…I can give it to you.”
Qin Yong's voice rang out from behind.
They dispersed in the empty and quiet corridor.
Song Ying looked up and caught a glimpse of the smile on Qin Shu's lips.
-
CEW was successfully transferred to Qin Shu's name.
Qin Shu originally didn't intend to keep the rest of the family business.
But the old man's words stopped him from declining.
"You just said that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact."
Qin Shu didn't want any other businesses because she was afraid that taking over CEW would negatively impact her family.
But one cannot write a single character of Qin in one stroke.
Qin Yong also said, "Take it. It's your grandfather's wish, and it's also my wish."
"With great responsibility comes great burden. No matter what decision you make in the future, remember that you carry the Qin family on your shoulders; similarly, no matter what you do, remember that the entire Qin family is behind you."
The Qin family.
It's a bond, it's a weakness.
It is also an aid and a source of confidence.
