Chapter 316 We respect every partner
Perhaps it was because Jiang Wanxing changed his attitude so quickly that Pei Ran was a little stunned.
Jiang Wanxing still maintained her extremely official smile.
"Gray Iron Delta is open for business and we respect every partner."
"Ah? Well... well then..."
Pei Ran originally wanted to say something else, but the other party agreed so quickly that he didn't know what to say next.
Jiang Wanxing smiled and asked, "When is Boss Pei going to leave?"
"As soon as possible."
Even though they just sat in the car and talked for a few words, Pei Ran's face showed obvious fatigue.
He sank his entire body into the specially designed car seat and closed his eyes.
"I'm afraid...I won't live much longer."
Hemolytic anemia is not a terminal illness.
Even for ordinary people, this is just a minor illness, at least not life-threatening, and the cost of treatment is not sky-high.
But Pei Ran's blood type is so rare that diseases that were not terminal illnesses become terminal illnesses in him.
Jiang Wanxing couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
"Didn't you find the blood source before? Didn't the stem cells match?"
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that.
This blood type is so rare.
The probability of people needing this blood type is even smaller.
The young man who was auctioned at the auction before could be said to be tailor-made for Pei Ran.
Pei Ran had just talked too much and was a little short of breath.
He rested in silence for a long time before speaking to Jiang Wanxing again: "It's me. I don't want to take the risk."
After saying this, he added: "The operation may not be successful, and...he didn't donate stem cells to me voluntarily. I don't want to forcibly take things from an innocent person."
It was the first time that Jiang Wanxing met someone with such a strong sense of morality, and he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"What about the others?"
Pei Ran said, "He must be hiding in the International Medical Research Institute. Someone in my family... wants to kill him and end my chances of recovery...
He was implicated by me, and before I die I will... I will make arrangements for him..."
"But didn't you say to cherish your life?" Jiang Wanxing was very surprised.
Everyone wants to live.
If it were her, she would definitely not be able to stick to the bottom line like Pei Ran.
Even if she has principles, she will spend money until the other party is willing to donate for her.
After all, it's just stem cells, not asking him to donate organs.
As long as the money and benefits are enough, few people will refuse.
Everyone wants to live and live healthily.
Pei Ran closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds.
“Sometimes I feel a little sad…”
Jiang Wanxing was waiting for his next words, but after waiting for a long time, she realized that he had only said this one sentence and had finished speaking.
At this time, Jin Chengcan also remembered what had happened.
He was also in Continent X at the time, so he probably knew a little bit more about it.
"no……"
He scratched his light pink hair, as if he couldn't understand Pei Ran's thoughts.
"I remember the guy who was sold was a poor bastard. His father sold him because he owed gambling debts. If you give him money, maybe he'll be willing to donate it?"
Continent X also has a lower class society.
Although it is filled with all kinds of speculators and criminals who have fled there from various countries.
But as long as there are people, there will be no classes.
Pei Ran might not be in good health, but in terms of status, he is a true Celestial Dragon.
As long as he can find a blood source, it is not difficult to get people to voluntarily donate stem cells to him.
Although Jin Chengcan and Jiang Wanxing's attitudes and thoughts are a bit condescending, they are indeed the truth.
The other party has been auctioned off and has nothing left, so he will seize every opportunity to move up.
Most people born in Continent X don't even have a nationality and can't go anywhere.
I couldn't find a decent job anywhere I went.
Faced with the two people's suggestions, Pei Ran just shook his head.
"Forget it."
He only said these three words and stopped talking.
Jiang Wanxing and Jin Chengcan looked at each other and stopped talking.
After the two arrived at Pei Ran's residence, they found that he actually lived in a very luxurious manor.
The luxury and gaudy atmosphere of the manor did not quite suit his temperament.
Pei Ran could hardly walk and was helped by his bodyguard to sit in a wheelchair.
The bodyguard pushed the wheelchair.
Pei Ran smiled at the two of them with a pale face.
"This place is not mine."
"?"
Pei Ran explained, "I stole this place. Probably... the previous owner of this house owed you money, but... he's dead."
Jiang Wanxing: “…”
Jin Chengcan: “…”
"ha."
Jiang Wanxing laughed.
"Your moral bottom line is quite flexible then."
He is unwilling to force others to donate stem cells to him in order to save his own life, but when it comes to killing people, he is ruthless.
Pei Ran said calmly, "Those who kill will be killed. This is the truth you should understand when you embark on this path. If someone wants to kill me, I won't blame them."
The estate is very large.
Since Pei Ran himself is in poor health and unable to protect himself, the security around him is also quite in place.
It has almost reached the point where there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry post every ten steps.
There is a sniper in every suitable sniper position.
Even for the world's top professional killers, killing people is not an easy task.
After entering the hall, Pei Ran asked someone to pour tea for Jiang Wanxing and Jin Chengcan.
He then asked, "I haven't asked about your identities yet?"
"..." Jiang Wanxing: "So you don't know who we are?"
"I know you're probably high-ranking members of Gray Iron Delta, but I don't know which one."
They were already partners, so the two of them didn't hide anything.
Jiang Wanxing said, "I'm Hai Kui from District 15, my last name is Jiang."
Then she pointed at Jin Chengcan.
"He's from District 20, Saker Falcon, and his last name is Jin."
Pei Ran nodded.
"Nice to meet you."
After the tea was served, Pei Ran introduced himself to the two of them.
He is the late son of the current head of the Pei family.
His family situation is probably similar to Kim Seung-chan's.
When he was born, his father was already in his sixties.
The oldest brother is now nearly sixty years old.
Pei Ran was not born to the mistress of the head of the Pei family. His mother was the wife that the head of the Pei family married into the family with legal right. She gave birth to him when she was nearly fifty years old and passed away when he was nine years old.
As his father grew older, his control over the Pei family became weaker and weaker.
The power of the clan fell into the hands of his brothers, and those people became increasingly intolerant of him.
"etc……"
Although the situation in the Pei family was chaotic, Jiang Wanxing still heard something special from it.
"You've been in poor health since childhood, right?"
The reason she said this was because Pei Ran was not tall among adult men, his bones were very thin and weak, and he looked like a teenager.
If he became ill like this when he was almost an adult, he shouldn't look like this even if he was skin and bones.
Pei Ran nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Wanxing smiled, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "You've been a sickly child since you were little. You've been living in fear of death. Why are they so afraid of you?"
People from big families are indeed keen on fighting for power and profit.
But those people are not stupid.
If Pei Ran was just a simple sickly person, no one would take him seriously, let alone kill him like this.
However, judging from Pei Ran's current situation, this person is indeed not simple.
Pei Ran smiled and said helplessly: "Although my father doesn't think highly of me, my mother's family has some influence in the Pei family. My sister... my sister is..."
Jiang Wanxing waited patiently for him to catch his breath.
"Who is your sister?"
Pei Ran looked at Jiang Wanxing and Jin Chengcan steadily.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Ms. Jiang, have you heard of Haizhou?"
Jiang Wanxing: “!”
Pei Ran said, "Back then, my sister was a high-ranking member of the Haizhou Killer Alliance. She was a very powerful killer. Before she died, she left me some power.
If it weren't for... my poor health, I would be qualified to compete for the position of Patriarch of the Pei Family."
At this moment, Jiang Wanxing suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
Calculated based on the age Pei Ran’s mother was when she gave birth to him.
The age difference between him and his sister may be huge.
After all, Haizhou was destroyed more than ten years ago.
In this case, Pei Ran’s sister’s death might have been done by... Rong Shuyan.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanxing concealed his emotions and took the initiative to ask, "Then how did your sister die?"
If it was really Rong Shuyan who did it, then she would have to pack up and leave.
She didn't want the twenty tons of gold, and she didn't want to cause this trouble.
Pei Ran picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Even when he mentioned the death of his own sister, his expression seemed indifferent.
"She died in childbirth."
Jiang Wanxing: "Ah?"
Pei Ran thought she didn't hear him clearly, so he repeated it again.
"My sister died in childbirth."
Jiang Wanxing: “…”
Jin Chengcan was stunned.
"Do you want to listen to what you're talking about? A very powerful assassin, a high-ranking official in Haizhou, and she died in childbirth? The legendary love-brained person?"
This is outrageous!
But as soon as he said this, Jin Chengcan suddenly remembered the Baby Beach in the north of Haizhou.
All the children were born in Haizhou.
Then... who gave birth to it?
Pei Ran shook his head.
"None of this matters. What matters is that I want the Pei family. I've always wanted it, and they all know it... but my health doesn't allow me to wait any longer."
Jiang Wanxing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that Pei Ran's sister's death had nothing to do with Rong Shuyan.
She smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite curious about Haizhou. We can talk about it."
Pei Ran asked her calmly.
"Why are you curious?"
Jiang Wanxing looks very young and there is no way he could be related to Haizhou.
This kind of curiosity is completely groundless.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanxing thought for a moment, then immediately pointed at Jin Chengcan next to him and said, "He had been to Haizhou before and had suffered severe mental abuse, but he was young at the time and didn't remember many things.
We recently discovered that there are likely remnants of Haizhou forces still around, so we hope you can tell us everything you know."
As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Ran's attention shifted to Jin Chengcan.
Jin Chengcan: “…”
Pei Ran frowned and looked at him.
"So that's how it is..."
“Ahem…”
Jin Chengcan coughed twice and turned his head to look at Jiang Wanxing.
Then he said to Pei Ran, "If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I will check what I want to know myself."
That being said.
But now they are in a cooperative relationship after all.
If Pei Ran was not a fool, he would not hide such a small matter.
Pei Ran pulled the corners of his lips.
"Actually, I don't know much. Haizhou was a very powerful force back then.
The Pei family is a very feudal and traditional family. My mother is my father's third wife. The first two wives died in conflicts within a short period of time after their marriage.
For more than twenty years after my mother gave birth to my sister, she didn't give birth to another child...or rather, she didn't give birth to another boy.
It was my sister’s existence that saved me…my mother’s status…”
Jiang Wanxing watched him speak such a long string of words, his lips turned pale and bloodless, and quickly poured him a cup of tea.
Pei Ran took another sip of tea, rested for a while, and continued speaking.
"Haizhou is conducting a project related to gene editing. My sister isn't love-sick, and the child she's carrying isn't her own...
These are embryos that have been gene-edited in Africa."
"Surrogate mother?"
Jiang Wanxing frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't you say that your sister is a high-ranking official in Haizhou and holds a very high position?"
Pei Ran smiled.
"She wasn't forced into being a surrogate, she was a willing surrogate and was proud of it.
My sister believes that children born from natural reproduction are inferior humans... I have never been to Haizhou and I don't know what that place is like.
But maybe... everyone in Haizhou thinks so."
Jiang Wanxing: “…”
Jin Chengcan: “…”
Jin Chengcan's eyes moved slightly.
"What's the point of Haizhou kidnapping so many foreign children?"
Pei Ran shook his head.
“I’m not sure, but based on my guess, it’s probably to train them to be killers and make money.
After all, scientific research requires financial support.”
"That's what you said..." Jin Chengcan hesitated.
If the purpose of arresting so many people is to train them to be killers and make money, then there should be no discrimination regarding race.
Why do you have to pick East Asians?
Is there something special about East Asians?
Or is it just the simple preference of the people in power in Haizhou?
——
And on the other side.
Rong Shuyan has already landed on the desolate island.
Haizhou is located in the high Atlantic Ocean. It is a desolate island. Because the island is too small and isolated, and the geological conditions are harsh, there has been no indigenous inhabitants from the beginning.
He landed on the island from the north.
After years of weathering and waves, the baby beach that was once full of white bones and smelled terrible has long since been reduced to nothing but a pile of gravel.
And what Rong Shuyan said to Jiang Wanxing on the phone before was not false.
In terms of fighting power alone, he is just an ordinary person.
If you want to come to a place like this, you must bring someone with you.
Beside him was still the scarred man who followed him.
After Rong Shuyan got off the boat, he walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Not long after, dilapidated buildings came into view.
