After Chapter 581, stop calling her "Old Fox" and just call her "Shang Jiaojiao".
Hospital.
Shang Shiyan lay on the hospital bed, staring at the girl playing on her phone, his expression resentful: "Wuwu, I..."
"Don't make a sound."
Pei Jinwu leaned back on the sofa, her attention focused on her phone.
Hearing the man call her, she only responded faintly without raising her head.
"..."
Shang Shiyan's face darkened, and he wanted to get up to see what she was doing.
I was so focused that I didn't look at him once during the nearly half hour I was inside.
pretty boy?
My current husband's brother?
He tried to lift his head, but found that he couldn't lift it at all.
Oh shit.
His useless body survived being chased and killed back then, so how come it's so fragile?
He paused for a few seconds to think.
Shang Shiyan's gaze was deep, and he feigned pain, letting out a muffled groan: "Hiss—"
really.
The sound immediately attracted Pei Jinwu's attention.
"What's wrong?"
The girl immediately put down her phone, strode over to his side, and leaned down to ask with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan frowned, his handsome face showing a somewhat "delicate" look, and nodded with a wronged expression.
Where does it hurt?
Pei Jinwu's gaze turned serious, and her voice unconsciously softened: "Here? Or here?"
Pointing to his head and legs, he asked.
"no."
Shang Shiyan shook his head, took the girl's hand, and placed it over his heart.
"heart?"
Pei Jinwu's expression instantly turned serious, worried that it was a problem with his ribs and heart. He said in a deep voice, "Wait, I'll have someone take you for a checkup."
"Need not."
Shang Shiyan grabbed the girl's hand, his expression somewhat awkward, and said dejectedly, "It's not a physical problem, it's just that I want to talk to you, and it hurts my heart."
"..."
Pei Jinwu stopped moving, looked down at the "weak" man, and slowly narrowed her clear eyes.
Oh.
Getting sick makes you act like you're being delicate?
What's up?
From now on, stop calling me "Old Fox" and just call me "Shang Jiaojiao".
"It's about dealing with the Hidden World Pavilion." Pei Jinwu blinked and patiently explained.
When is the plan scheduled to be implemented?
Shang Shiyan held the girl's hand, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, his voice hoarse: "This matter is extraordinary, it will be very dangerous."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu shifted her gaze to his face, a half-smile playing on her lips.
"be safe."
A hint of worry flashed across Shang Shiyan's eyes, and he whispered a reminder: "I'll assign Feng Xing and Feng Zhi to you. If there's anything dangerous, let them handle it."
"Feng Xing and Feng Zhi have truly risked their lives for you." Pei Jinwu sat down beside him and applied medicine to the wound on his forehead.
"That's true."
Shang Shiyan moved his thin lips and said slowly, "Feng Xing and Feng Zhi have been with me since they were teenagers."
"When we first met, the two brothers were being chased by loan sharks in order to pay for their mother's medical treatment. I saved them."
“I paid off their high-interest loans and saved my seriously ill mother. From then on, the two of them followed me wholeheartedly.”
"Is Feng Xing and Feng Zhi in such dire straits?"
Pei Jinwu curled her lips and chuckled, "In that case, it's better not to let them fight to the death."
"Or perhaps..."
Pei Jinwu paused for a moment, then continued, "You didn't have them protect me, you had them spy on me?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan's voice choked, and he looked slightly embarrassed.
It has some element of surveillance.
When this girl gets wild, she doesn't care about anything.
While protecting her, Fengxing and Fengzhi can also keep an eye on her to prevent her from doing anything reckless.
anyway.
She cannot be in danger.
“The plan is still being prepared, but it will be soon.” Pei Jinwu pinched the man’s fingers, smiled with narrowed eyes: “I’m going to play a big game for Li Xiao, so that he will regret it for the rest of his life and never be able to get back up.”
"..."
Seeing the girl smiling like a little fox, Shang Shiyan felt a little uneasy.
——
The next day.
Pei Jinwu led the "Nine Nights Divine Physician" and the "Medical Master" of the underground city into the Hidden World Pavilion in a grand procession.
Li Xiao is an extremely suspicious person.
Instead of putting people directly into the core laboratory, they were placed next door.
"Miss Ghost won't mind, will she?" Li Xiao asked in a deep voice, rolling his prayer beads.
"casual."
Pei Jinwu shrugged, raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "I'm not the one who wants to finish the research within a year."
"..."
Li Xiao narrowed his aged eyes with a meaningful look.
Those words were really unpleasant to hear.
Why isn't the ghost mute?!
"Since the Pavilion Master is not at ease, why not let him see the capabilities of the underground city?"
"Sure."
Pei Jinwu stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and said casually, "Then I'll show you a couple of moves, Pavilion Master."
——
Half an hour later.
In the underground research room of the Hidden World Pavilion.
In the underground city, some researchers manipulated computer data, while others re-edited the extracted "genetic tissue."
The researchers at the Hidden World Pavilion spent a long time trying to figure out this "step".
Li Xiao, accompanied by researchers from the Hidden World Pavilion, stood by and watched.
I want to see if the people in the underground city really have any skills.
Where is Dr. Xia?
Pei Jinwu circled around the issue, then casually remarked, "I heard she spent several hours a couple of days ago solving a problem that the Hidden World Pavilion hadn't been able to figure out for years."
"Presumably, there is no one in the entire Hidden World Pavilion who understands genetic modification better than her."
Ignoring Li Xiao's unpleasant expression, Pei Jinwu continued.
"Bring Dr. Xia over," Li Xiao ordered.
Although he was the lead researcher on this project, he couldn't actually participate in the research itself.
——
In the basement.
Xia Xun was sitting in the room, lost in thought.
"Dr. Xia, the Pavilion Master requests your presence," the subordinate said respectfully.
"I'm not going!"
Dr. Xia remained expressionless, completely ignoring what the other person said.
"The Pavilion Master said that Miss Ghost brought a top medical expert from the underground city, and asked you to..."
Let's go.
Upon hearing the words "Miss Ghost," Xia Xun suddenly stood up.
When leaving the room, he even tidied his clothes.
"?"
His subordinate looked bewildered and quickly followed.
When Xia arrived at the laboratory.
Two groups of people in the underground city are conducting research and analysis.
Both the data and the operational methods were completely correct, clearly superior to Li Xiao's men.
"Ah Xun, come and take a look." Li Xiao didn't understand why she had suddenly come to her senses.
But as long as she's willing to start the experiment, no reason matters.
Baby Qiqi.
Seeing his beloved youngest daughter, whom he had been longing for day and night, Xia Xun suppressed his joy and slowly walked forward.
"Dr. Xia, it's nice to see you again."
Pei Jinwu turned his head, his gaze falling on Xia Xun's face, and said with a smile, "Look at the soldiers I've raised, how do they compare to the people from the research institute in Country A back then?"
"Very well done."
Xia Xun walked to Pei Jinwu's side, feigning an "expressionless" expression, and asked, "How much effort did Pavilion Master Li spare to find so many talented people?"
"?"
Upon hearing Xia Xun's words, Li Xiao paused slightly, giving her a meaningful look.
Could it be just my imagination?
He found Xia Xun unusually docile today.
His face didn't look so sour!
——
"Ah Xun, Miss Ghost is talking to you."
Seeing that Xia Xun ignored Pei Jinwu, Li Xiao reminded her in a low voice, "Didn't you just meet last time?"
"I've heard Li Xiao mention that the underground organization is quite formidable."
Xia Xun turned his head to face Pei Jinwu directly, and sneered, "Since I agreed to Miss Ghost's deal, I've kept my word. I hope you won't break your promise either."
"nature."
Pei Jinwu raised an eyebrow, took two steps forward, and stared at Xia Xun with great interest: "I admire Dr. Xia the most for being such a heroine."
This was the first time the two had been so openly and openly standing so close.
Pei Jinwu could even smell a faint, elegant fragrance emanating from her.
The taste of mom's cooking.
"What a pity."
Xia Xun lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on his daughter's face. His heart was almost melting, but his tone was exceptionally sharp: "I find certain morally corrupt bastards utterly disgusting."
She said "some," but she was actually referring to Li Xiao.
Even if it was a veiled insult, she couldn't bear to utter a single harsh word against her daughter.
"Sect Master Li."
Pei Jinwu cooperated, deliberately glancing at Li Xiao, and said slowly, "Dr. Xia is calling you a dog."
"..."
Li Xiao's face turned cold, becoming terrifyingly ashen.
I dare not scold the ghost, because I still need her help.
They dared not scold Xia Xun.
"..."
Dr. Xia blinked, and the corners of her mouth subtly turned up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Her baby's lips are as sweet as honey.
"Sect Master, it's over."
Just as Li Xiao was burning with anger and had nowhere to vent it, his subordinate suddenly spoke up.
"Sect Leader, this genetic problem has indeed been solved."
The person in charge pushed up his glasses and said excitedly, "This data is a combination of data provided by Dr. Xia."
"The research program on genetic modification has taken a giant leap forward."
"good."
Li Xiao's lips curled up into a satisfied smile: "A-Xun, I will use these hands to build an empire for you."
"I can't afford it."
Xia Xun curled his lips into a cold, mocking smile: "I find everything your hands have touched disgusting."
"Ah Xun!"
Li Xiao's face was visibly grim, and his deep voice was filled with suppressed anger.
"Don't call me that, you don't deserve it."
Xia Xun retorted coldly, saying without any politeness, "Li Xiao, tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of your adoptive father, my biological father, do you still remember?"
"..."
Li Xiao stiffened slightly, swallowed nervously, and quickly recovered: "If my godfather knew that I was about to accomplish something world-renowned, he would be proud of me too."
"Is that so?"
Xia Xun sneered and said, word by word, "You'd better ask him when you see him whether it's pride or shame."
He finished speaking coldly.
He walked out without looking back.
"Xia Xun, did I say you could leave?" Li Xiao roared in a low voice as he watched the other person's back.
"..."
Xia Xun answered, turning the back of his head to him.
Wow.
Seeing this, Pei Jinwu exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Xia seems to have a unique personality."
As expected of her mother.
This personality is still a bit wild.
Through their conversation, she roughly determined the relationship between them.
Li Xiao was originally his maternal grandfather's adopted son, but he broke with his family because of his research.
besides……
This bastard has other evil intentions towards his mother; he's far more disgusting and perverted than he imagined.
“She is the most perfect woman in the world.” Li Xiao answered without hesitation, his eyes filled with love even as he was scolded.
"So perfect? That can't be right."
Pei Jinwu felt annoyed just looking at him. She curled her lips and said slowly, "For example, he doesn't love you."
"..."
Li Xiao's smile froze, and he could no longer smile.
"Cough cough."
Pei Jinwu was quick-witted and said smugly, "I've handed my men over to Pavilion Master Li, and I hope we can complete the plan as soon as possible."
"etc!"
Seeing Pei Jinwu about to leave, Li Xiao suddenly asked, "What exactly did you and Xia Xun talk about? Why did she agree to continue the plan?"
“I promise that if the plan succeeds, I will let the family of three leave.”
Pei Jinwu turned her head and met Li Xiao's gaze with deep eyes. "Also, the whereabouts of her other children are almost found, especially her youngest daughter."
Where?
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao asked impatiently, "Where is she?"
"Still looking."
Pei Jinwu answered without hesitation, "There will probably be a result within this month."
"Who gave you permission to let her leave?" Li Xiao asked in a deep voice. "She is my woman."
“I can let her go, but you can bring her back.” Pei Jinwu smiled faintly, quite speechless: “Doesn’t Pavilion Master Li know the principle that all's fair in war?”
“Xia Xun is no ordinary person, why should we believe him?” Li Xiao asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Because I said I would show sincerity."
Pei Jinwu moved her lips and said, word by word, "As long as she develops the modification methods for the first few parts, I will persuade you to let Shen Qianhua go."
"..."
Li Xiao's gaze grew even colder. He hadn't expected this little brat to dare to make decisions for him.
What is it?
Are they worthy?
"I disagree!" Li Xiao retorted in a deep voice, "I finally managed to capture Shen Qianhua, I can't just let her go!"
"Sure."
Pei Jinwu wasn't in a hurry, and said with a cold smile, "We can't let Shen Qianhua go, and we can't get any useful information from her."
"I heard she's very tight-lipped; even after enduring torture, she wouldn't reveal a single crucial piece of information."
"If we torture someone to death, will Xia Xun still be of use to us?"
"..."
Li Xiao clenched his fists, his aged eyes so cold they seemed to drip water.
“One Shen Qianhua is enough to make Xia Xun’s research a profit.” Pei Jinwu’s mouth didn’t stop. “What’s more, I’ll be able to catch the test subject you want most in a while.”
Why should I believe you?
“I’m a ghost.” Pei Jinwu blinked, raised an eyebrow, and said confidently, “There’s no one in this world I can’t find.”
No.
Her older brother and sister, her father and mother?
Which one wasn't found by her?!
"Time is running out." Pei Jinwu put his hands in his pockets, his tone languid: "With Dr. Xia and his wife, and the help of the underground city, the plan may be greatly accelerated."
"But if Shen Qianhua doesn't leave, my agreement with Dr. Xia will naturally fall apart. I can't guarantee whether she will continue her research."
"..."
After listening to Pei Jinwu's words, Li Xiao wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.
What that girl said makes sense.
Shen Qianhua is too stubborn.
Rather than killing off Independence Island and making enemies, it's better to turn the tables on them.
Use her small fish to catch the big fish behind her.
"I agree."
After pondering for a long time, Li Xiao coldly said, "Someone, let Shen Qianhua leave."
"Sect Leader Li is a smart man."
Pei Jinwu raised an eyebrow slightly and gave a wicked smile.
"If I don't catch the big fish, I'll kill you." Li Xiao smiled, but his smile was extremely sinister and ruthless.
"Quite arrogant."
Pei Jinwu held the tea, sipping it slowly, then slightly lifted her eyelids and said lazily, "Isn't Pavilion Master Li afraid that the big fish will bite you? Bite you to death!"
Pei Jinwu sized him up.
In just a few seconds, he had already figured out where to make the holes in his body.
