Chapter 559 You're my dad? My mom's in the next cell?
"Xiao Qi, shall we leave here?"
Xiao Qi?
Aside from her close relatives, who knew she was the seventh child?
"Go, go, go..."
The man blushed, his eyes widened, and he desperately tried to wink at her.
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared at him, suddenly remembering that when they first met, he mistook "2" for "7".
Maybe.
He deliberately made a mistake from the very beginning.
"Who are you?"
Pei Jinwu bent down, pretending to examine him, and moved her lips.
"..."
Sheng Beitang looked at her, tears blurring his vision, and slowly parted his lips:
"Save Mom"
"Saving Xiao Wu"
Mother?
Xiao Wu?
Pei Jinwu froze for a few seconds, and the taut nerves in her mind suddenly snapped.
She was so frightened that she took several steps back, her breathing becoming rapid.
Are you alright?
Shang Shiyan was quite frightened and quickly helped her up, asking her with concern.
"without."
Pei Jinwu shook her head, quickly composed herself, and deliberately said, "My legs were sore and I couldn't stand steadily."
"..."
Shang Shiyan carefully examined her and found that her complexion was normal.
The people in the surveillance footage didn't suspect anything.
"..."
Pei Jinwu prepared the reagents, returned to the bedside, and moved her lips twice.
First time: "Are you my dad?"
Sheng Beitang blinked and nodded slightly.
Pei Jinwu felt a tightness in her chest, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on it.
In the cramped room, it was almost impossible to breathe.
Second time: "Is your mother being held in the next cell?"
Mentioning Xia Xun, Sheng Beitang slowly closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The answer is self-evident.
Pei Jinwu was completely stunned.
No wonder...
She feels a sense of familiarity when she sees his photos.
The older brother said.
From childhood to adulthood, she was the most mischievous and naughty, and she received the most scoldings from her father.
Although my memory only dates back to when I was three, my father's image still lingers in my mind.
only--
It had been too long, and she couldn't remember.
Everything became clear in an instant.
The Hidden World Pavilion's elaborate scheme to capture Fifth Sister wasn't because of the medicinal herbs, but because of her genes.
Because she is her parents' child.
Li Xiao once said that Sheng Beitang's blood was useful, which is why it was repeatedly drawn for experiments.
In other words...
All of them, including their siblings, should have inherited their parents' genes to varying degrees.
The reason for capturing Fifth Sister is for research purposes.
The interrogation just now was probably an attempt to find out where the others were.
If the Hidden World Pavilion hadn't come to her door, would she have ever seen her parents again in her life?
Sixteen years.
Her parents were tortured for sixteen years.
Is the person Wuwu has been investigating their father?
"The medication has been changed."
Fearing suspicion from those on the surveillance cameras, Pei Jinwu composed herself and calmly said, "Take good care of yourself."
"Bang--"
The door opened, and the men in black came in and took her and Shang Shiyan away.
As they passed the room where Xia Xun was being held, a piercing banging sound suddenly came from the iron door.
Hearing the noise, Pei Jinwu subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Before the other person could speak, she said in a choked voice, "Your husband is fine, he can already distinguish between 2 and 7."
What?
Xia Xun's patting motion froze, her mind a little dazed.
Can you distinguish between 2 and 7?
Bei Tang had told him before that he had deliberately said 7 instead of 2.
I hope she will recognize me.
But when they met again later, she didn't seem to recognize him.
I thought I would never have the chance to see him again.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi came again.
Not only that, but he also said something ambiguous.
Did she recognize Bei Tang?
Or is it simply about distinguishing fingers?
"To test him, I specifically showed him 5 and 7, and he guessed them both correctly."
Before Xia Xun could recover, Pei Jinwu's voice rang out again, "This proves that his physical functions are recovering, and he will soon become a normal person."
"..."
Xia Xun stood there, stunned. If she had doubts before, she was now almost certain that Xiao Qi had recognized Bei Tang.
The so-called 5 is Huahua, who is locked up next door, and 7 is herself.
No wonder she came to the Hidden World Pavilion again; it's very likely related to Huahua.
"Th-thank you."
With surveillance cameras overhead, Xia Xun dared not reveal too much emotion, and simply said, "Dr. Jiuye, my husband's condition has improved, so you probably won't be coming again, right?"
Don't come again, Qiqi.
You're so young, you should be living your own life properly.
The waters around the Hidden World Pavilion are too deep.
"have no idea."
Pei Jinwu's tone was icy, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and he said expressionlessly, "It depends on his recovery. If the Hidden World Pavilion has the money, of course we will come again."
It was obvious to Xia Xun.
She will come back and rescue them.
"Divine Physician, this way please." His subordinate led her away at the opportune moment: "The Pavilion Master is already waiting for you."
"Let's go."
Pei Jinwu withdrew her gaze, a thick layer of frost forming around her.
"..."
Seeing the girl's state, Shang Shiyan frowned deeply.
what happens?
Why did he feel that the little girl had suddenly become a different person?
——
In the lobby.
Li Xiao sat on a mahogany chair, fiddling with a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, staring at her with a puzzled expression.
"The Divine Physician Jiuye has taken the initiative to see me?"
"That's right."
Pei Jinwu looked up and saw that Li Xiao's hand was resting on the chair, revealing a gold watch on his wrist.
She had seen this watch before.
After the shipwreck, a mysterious organization participated in the rescue efforts.
One of them was wearing this watch.
If she had seen it sooner, she might have known about her parents sooner.
"I heard that the cooperation between the Hidden World Pavilion and the Underground City has been suspended?"
Pei Jinwu frowned, her tone tinged with anger, "When Ghost invited me to cooperate, he made it sound incredibly good, especially saying that the income would be substantial."
"When I turned down other jobs and was ready to join the partnership, did I tell them the collaboration was suspended?"
"Ghosts are really unreliable!"
"That's right."
Seeing her intentions, Li Xiao narrowed his aged eyes and said in a weathered voice, "Is Dr. Jiuye interested in cooperating with me alone?"
“That depends on the Pavilion Master’s sincerity.” Pei Jinwu stared at him without moving. “The gene modification project, is it? I have some knowledge of it!”
"You?" Li Xiao was somewhat surprised, half believing and half doubting.
"That's right, it's me."
Pei Jinwu smiled confidently and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the person you want me to save is one of the people involved in the gene modification project."
"Your plan is probably stuck at a crucial stage."
"I have come across a great deal of information about genetic modification, which may be of some help to you."
"Just money?"
Li Xiao stared intently at her, scrutinizing her with a mixture of belief and doubt.
“Of course not.” Pei Jinwu smiled faintly and replied coldly, “After the plan succeeds, I demand all the core content.”
"snort."
Li Xiao's eyes narrowed sharply, a mocking laugh escaping his throat: "Quite the appetite."
"It's alright, my digestion is pretty good."
Pei Jinwu glanced at the time and decided to call it a day. "However, I suggest you consider cooperating with the underground city again. You definitely can't take over that piece of land in the Northern Continent on your own."
"With the underground city involved, the results will definitely be twice as good with half the effort."
"..."
Li Xiao pondered seriously. He understood the logic, but what about Ghost...?
He's a troublemaker, and I'm afraid he'll be uncontrollable later on.
Xia Xun and Shen Qianhua alone are enough to give him a headache.
If they catch her other children...
Oh.
Unsurprisingly.
Her children are all tough guys.
——
good evening.
