Chapter 424 Safe House
As if to confirm Xu Zhiyan's guess.
The doctor in charge of the injection came extra early today. In addition to the original injection, there was also an empty syringe in the cart.
Disinfection and blood drawing, all done in one go.
Watching the bright red blood leave the body, Aunt Qin gently patted the sobbing child in her arms, and said with a hint of doubt: "What is this for? It's only because the young master is in good health, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand such torture..."
As a doctor who was also bribed by Xiao Zhiyan's obedience, he sighed after drawing blood: "Don't worry, it's just a regular physical examination."
The two looked at each other and said nothing more.
They are all people who do things for money. Even if they feel pity in their hearts, that's all they can do. They won't and can't do more.
The doctor didn't rush to inject the medicine and left with the blood first.
Now that there was no one around, Xiao Zhiyan raised his head from Aunt Qin's arms, looked at the woman with tearful eyes, and pleaded: "Aunt Qin, when can we leave? I don't want to get any more injections."
The soft voice and the gaze shifted to the injection made the woman bite her lower lip and her breathing became heavier.
What little conscience she had left was tormenting her.
“Almost there, almost there…”
After giving a perfunctory answer, Aunt Qin was surprised to find that she no longer had the initial thought of leaving. She didn't even dare to look Xiao Zhiyan in the eye.
There is no way, the head of the Xu family gave too much.
The other party promised her that if she took care of the young master for another three years, she would get tens of millions, which was more than the money given by the madam...
Thinking of this, Aunt Qin couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
Fortunately, when Mr. Xu bribed her, the young master fainted and did not hear their conversation, otherwise the other party had been smart since childhood, how could she be so honest, which also made her status in the Xu family rise.
Aunt Qin was so focused on thinking that she didn't notice that the child in her arms had darkened his eyes and the smile on his face had disappeared.
Contrary to his unhappy expression.
In the sea of consciousness, the master and servant have already started the guessing mode and are extremely happy.
[Poor little thing, I guess he will have to work harder to please Aunt Qin, and then find a way to leave.] This is the result of the system's estimation.
[After all, it’s a bit difficult to bribe other people, and Aunt Qin is the only one I’m most familiar with. I’m betting on Aunt Qin and my little red mailbox!]
But Xu Zhiyan doesn't think so.
"I don't think so." He had good reasons.
"Auntie Qin is already the closest person to me, and we've been acting for so many days. Judging from her performance, there should be no chance."
"And Aunt Qin is definitely not a good choice for escape." Everyone knows that Aunt Qin and Xiao Zhiyan have a deep relationship, so how could Xu Yan not send someone to keep a close eye on them?
The system thought about it for a while and suddenly felt a little nervous.
[Wow, if Aunt Qin, who has the deepest feelings for me, doesn’t help, then I will be completely unable to escape, right?]
"Not necessarily. In fact, among all people, the chef is the best choice." Only the chef will receive fresh ingredients transported every day. The closer the contact with the outside world, the more help he can provide.
Children are not big in size, so hiding in a garbage bag or a vegetable truck is a good choice.
Unfortunately, these words were only spoken between the master and the servant.
Xiao Zhiyan is still too young. It is already very good for a five-year-old child to realize in a short period of time that he is in a bad situation and act to win the hearts of the people in the courtyard. This is not the second round of playing a game. It is difficult for children who cannot open the God's perspective to make accurate choices.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhiyan spoke calmly.
"I bet he can't escape with the help of the people in the yard. If he really runs away, I will buy you two mailboxes, any color is fine." In fact, he had wanted to dismantle the broken mailbox in the safe house for a long time.
The two chatted for a while, and just as the system was racking its brains to think of how the five-year-old child should leave, the doctor came back.
Unlike his relaxed appearance just now, the doctor who came back this time was covered in sweat and looked as if he had been frightened by something. He didn't even have time to say a few words to Aunt Qin. He rushed into the room, grabbed the child, and walked out anxiously, taking steps so big that he almost ran.
Aunt Qin didn't understand what was going on. After asking a few questions, she suddenly remembered the blood that the doctor had taken away...
There was something wrong with the physical examination.
After realizing this, she dared not open her mouth and could only run out behind the doctor in shame.
The doctor walked in a hurry, and even Xu Zhiyan's vision was shaken.
Leaving the warm area with constant temperature, little Zhiyan, wearing only thin clothes, was blown by the cold night wind and couldn't help shivering, with her little shoulders shaking constantly.
He didn't even look at the doctor's expression. He just stretched his neck hard and looked over the doctor's shoulder in the direction of Aunt Qin.
The woman's face was filled with anxiety and fear.
She was worried that something might go wrong with the physical examination. She was anxious that if something happened to the young master, she wouldn't get the money. She was also afraid that she would be accused of not taking good care of him and lose his life...
Little did she know that all her complicated emotions were seen by everyone.
The last bit of light in Xiao Zhiyan's eyes completely disappeared. He finally saw the reality clearly and no longer had any other unrealistic ideas.
This woman who had always taken care of him was completely bought by money.
No matter how respectful these people appear, in their eyes, I am nothing more than a tool, an object.
He closed his eyes tightly and curled up in the doctor's arms, with some fragments of memories flashing through his mind.
This was probably the first time that he felt such a strong memory fluctuation after entering this body. It was natural that Xu Zhiyan and the system also glimpsed this memory.
In the hazy picture, Aunt Qin's words echoed in my ears.
"Mr. Xu, please don't kill me. I'm just a nanny. I have nothing to do with this child. I promise I won't say anything. Don't worry..."
"What? Take care of him for a few more years... Are you serious? Just take care of him for a few more years and I can get 60 million!?"
"Okay, okay, okay. Then I won't leave. I will definitely take good care of the young master."
"Don't worry, he has been without parents since he was a child. He has been taken care of by me and Brother Zhang. This child depends on me a lot. I will definitely make him obedient..."
The woman's voice gradually changed from initial fear to amazement and then to flattery.
After the system was installed, I started to feel sad.
[Wow wow wow wow, my young host is so pitiful! The only relative left by his side actually betrayed him for money.]
Xu Zhiyan felt good.
"Tsk, Xu Yan gave too much, who can afford it?" He did not blame Aunt Qin, and even gave a more cost-effective and labor-saving solution after thinking about it.
"If I were the me now, I would definitely not pretend to be unconscious and eavesdrop. I have a better way."
[Huh? But at the age of five, the host can’t resist, what should I do?] The system foolishly thought that its host had some good ideas.
"I can't resist anyway. I will just sit up and tell Xu Yan to give me the 60 million. I can be obedient. How can I let others make this money?"
Xu Zhiyan spoke so confidently that the system couldn't tell whether its host was joking or being sincere.
It was down for a moment.
[…Shit, it turns out you are the living devil.]
They passed through countless doors along the way, and just when Xiao Zhiyan was shaking more and more due to the low temperature, they finally arrived at the destination.
As soon as you enter the door, the pure white walls inside form a sharp contrast with the outside world. There are decorations full of technology everywhere, and staff wearing white coats appear from time to time.
From the way he dodged, it could be seen that Xiao Zhiyan was indeed a very important research project.
The two adults and one child walked through the long corridor and took the elevator to the underground laboratory. Soon, little Zhiyan was picked up by a group of staff and started a more in-depth physical examination.
The room was bright, so bright that one could almost ignore the upright glass surrounding it.
On the other side, Xu Zhiyan and the system were also on high alert.
"When you take screenshots and record videos, can you brighten the overall exposure?" he raised his voice to ask the system.
[no problem! ]
The system responded immediately.
Since Xu Yan attaches so much importance to this container, the other party will definitely come now that Xiao Zhiyan is having health problems.
Sure enough, when the system increased the exposure of the entire video to the maximum, Xu Yan, who was hiding outside the glass wall, appeared.
The man wearing monocular glasses sat at the table. His noble appearance could not hide his displeasure. He glanced at the researcher standing next to him with a cold expression and moved his lips slightly.
[Xu Yan said: Speak.]
The system uses its own advantages to quickly interpret lip reading.
The researcher nodded tremblingly, took out the report from his hand, and began to read it with a stuttering voice.
[NPC Cannon Fodder said: Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu... This report is very, very not ideal, but... but, but please believe that everything is only temporary...]
The intermittent electronic sound, with its timid fear, was like a mental attack, and gave Xu Zhiyan a splitting headache.
"Stop!" He couldn't help but interrupt the system.
"Tongtong, I know you are very dedicated and I am aware of your abilities, but the situation is urgent right now, so there is no need to imitate your tone."
Xu Zhiyan hated himself for being a conscious being and not having hands so he couldn’t cover his ears.
It had been a long time since the host praised it so kindly. The system wanted to be shy, but the researcher spoke faster and faster, so it could only speed up its speech, which saved Xu Zhiyan's ears.
[The researcher gave the report to Xu Yan, who said... Shit!]
The system was so shocked that it didn't know whether the last word was said by Xu Yan or it. Soon, Xu Zhiyan got the entire conversation content.
[Disappeared? Since he had awakened his special ability in advance, why did he disappear? Wasn’t he fine before?]
[Mr. Xu, we are also very surprised, but this is the fact.]
[The container has a very high talent. Originally, it should be able to awaken two characteristics. However, because of our special means to forcefully activate it in advance, the 'dream' cannot be fully awakened. Later, because we want to use the time potion to induce it, we can transform the 'dream' into 'time'.]
[It is likely that these two features are incompatible.]
[Now, no dream-related elements can be sensed from the blood of the container. Of course, there is no time either...]
The researcher became increasingly panicked as he spoke, and looked like he was about to fall to his knees.
[Mr. Xu, please don't worry. At least the other characteristic is still there. I suggest increasing the dosage of the time potion. Anyway, the dream has disappeared, so increasing it won't lose anything. His physical foundation is very good. At worst, he will just become a single-talent container.]
The sweaty researcher spoke eagerly, offering new proposals, fearing that he would be dragged down and killed.
[I promise! It won’t get any worse for you!]
[Even if he becomes physically intolerant due to an overdose of the drug, at most he will become a fool. If he can awaken the time characteristic, even if it is incomplete, we will not be at a loss.]
The system didn't realize anything yet, and the translator was so indignant that he wanted to rush up and give the researcher a couple of punches.
Xu Zhiyan was completely stunned.
He knew that the experiment was successful.
He really reversed time and went back to the past, back to Bai Jin's dream.
