Chapter 592 Does she even understand what it means to be a prisoner?
"I don't eat garlic or ginger, but I add lots of cilantro."
"..."
Li Xiao stopped in his tracks, staring at her calmly, his eyes chillingly cold.
"Another dessert, preferably mango flavored." Pei Jinwu sat in her chair, leisurely swinging her toes. "Where's the candy? I'd like some more candy."
Is there anything else?
Li Xiao's lips twitched slightly, the scars under his eyes looking ferocious, almost as if he were gritting his teeth.
"No."
Pei Jinwu thought for a moment, shook her head, and said politely, "Thank you."
"..."
Li Xiao's face fell, and he remained silent.
"..."
The researchers and subordinates behind her were also staring intently at her.
Does she even understand what it means to be a prisoner?
This posture, this mindset...
Those who knew her were told she had been arrested, but those who didn't might have thought she was on vacation.
The hotel I stayed in had a "prison" theme.
"I want to eat—"
Seeing that the others didn't move, Pei Jinwu, who was already starving, started yelling again.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and prepare for this starving ghost!"
Li Xiao turned his head and growled fiercely.
Yes, yes.
His subordinates rushed outside in a flurry.
"Stay put and behave yourself." Li Xiao said, gesturing with his chin toward the computer. "It contains all the data on gene modification research. Take a look beforehand."
"The sooner you succeed in your research, the sooner I can give you a quick death."
"OK."
Pei Jinwu glanced at the computer and a smile appeared on her lips.
The computer has a tracker installed; it will trigger an alarm as soon as the computer leaves the local area network.
Not only that.
This computer was also being monitored in real time, making it impossible for it to send any messages outwards.
Old Deng really learned his lesson.
She seems honest.
Li Xiao didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
The researchers followed immediately, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
Why does it seem like the Pavilion Master is quite indulgent towards this girl?
Could it be because he looks most like Dr. Xia?
But no matter what, she's still Sheng Beitang's daughter!
Referring to Shen Qianhua from last time...
I really don't understand!
——
After Li Xiao left.
Pei Jinwu sat down in front of the computer and carefully browsed through the information.
Genetic modification is indeed quite difficult.
Otherwise, country A wouldn't be stuck at the last step with no progress.
It might be difficult for others, but for her...
It's just a matter of taking a little time.
It wasn't that difficult.
——
Under surveillance.
Li Xiao looked at the girl in the video who was seriously studying the documents, and a gloomy feeling enveloped him.
"Master, the ghost seems quite docile," the butler said cautiously.
"honest?"
Li Xiao snorted coldly, frowning as he said, "She's got eight hundred tricks up her sleeve; even ten of you couldn't outsmart her."
They set up such a big trap to lure him into it.
Nineteen years old.
If she had a few more years of experience, wouldn't she be the boss, and she'd be second in command?!
He's a talented person.
pity.
Having Sheng Beitang's genes in one's body is truly disgusting.
"Add more people to keep watch outside the door, and don't let her out of your sight."
Having witnessed this girl's abilities, Li Xiao couldn't trust her at all.
"Master, should we send the medicine to Sheng Beitang?" the steward asked again.
"deliver."
Li Xiao put his hands behind his back and said in a low, cold voice, "Sheng Beitang can only die by my hand."
"clear."
The butler nodded and immediately ordered someone to deliver the medicine to the designated location and then spread the word.
Not long after.
The food was prepared and delivered to Pei Jinwu's room.
The girl immediately began to eat heartily, filling her stomach completely, showing no signs of having a poor appetite.
Looking at her satisfied expression.
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the image of Xia Xun in his youth involuntarily appeared in his mind again.
She used to be a little glutton, wanting to eat all sorts of unusual things.
Thinking about this...
Li Xiao felt a tightness in his chest, immediately looked away, and his face regained its cold and ruthless expression.
——
The capital city.
Sheng Beitang suddenly developed a persistent high fever, and various antibiotics and antipyretics were ineffective.
Xia Xun suddenly realized the truth after checking.
"I knew Li Xiao wouldn't let Bei Tang off so easily."
"Mom, what do you mean?" He Huaixu asked, puzzled.
“Your father has been injected with a virus by Li Xiao.” Xia Xun wiped the sweat from Sheng Beitang’s forehead and said in a daze, “The virus will cause a persistent high fever. Even the most severe cases can only last for two days unless they take his specially made antidote.”
but--
Who is Li Xiao? How could he possibly hand over the antidote?
"Without an antidote, we can only watch Dad die?" He Huaixu's expression changed drastically, and he turned to leave: "I'll go find a way to get an antidote."
"Too late."
As Xia Xun spoke, his eyes reddened, "There's only one day left, not enough time to develop an antidote."
"..."
He Huaixu stood there, stunned, his face ashen.
Just as the mother and son were grieving.
The door to the ward suddenly opened, and Shang Shiyan strode in.
"Auntie, we've got the antidote."
"Antidote?"
Xia Xun took the medicine, smelled it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Shi Yan, how did you get it?"
“Li Xiao released it,” Shang Shiyan explained in a low voice. “Perhaps Wuwu made some kind of deal with him again.”
At this point, a faint smile appeared on the man's face.
At least it proves she's alright.
"Auntie, let's give Uncle the antidote first," Shang Shiyan reminded her.
"good."
Xia Xun didn't dare to delay. After Sheng Beitang took the medicine, his high fever quickly subsided.
"The antidote has a very complex composition and cannot be developed in a short period of time."
Xia Xun sat on the sofa, looking exhausted, and said, "For Li Xiao to hand over the antidote, Wu Wu must have done something."
Don't worry too much.
Black Fox came in carrying lunch, head down as he tidied the box, his tone dejected: "With Wuwu's temper, she won't let herself be taken advantage of."
"maybe……"
Black Fox paused, then said in a low voice, "Li Xiao can't stand it."
"..."
Xia Xun remained silent, the image of Wu Wu as a child appearing in his mind.
They're really good at building things.
Bei Tang was often driven to the brink of collapse by her, and couldn't even eat.
But--
Will Li Xiao, unable to tolerate her temper, resort to violence against her?
Thinking about this...
Xia Xun felt annoyed and depressed again, regretting that she shouldn't have let Wu Wu save them.
“Auntie, these are Wuwu’s photos.” Shang Shiyan took out a box. “Inside are photos of her from childhood to adulthood. You can take a look.”
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Xia Xun looked at Shang Shiyan gratefully and nodded in satisfaction: "Where are you going?"
"Underground city".
After a night's rest, Shang Shiyan looked much better: "Wuwu has gone missing, and I have to give the underground city an explanation."
More importantly, it's about calming people's hearts.
Xia Xun sighed again.
Wuwu's boyfriend is really great.
——
Leave the ward.
Shang Shiyan entered the underground parking lot.
"Why is it you?"
Upon seeing Lou Ying in the driver's seat, Shang Shiyan frowned slightly.
"Don't forget, you're a 'dead man' now, and countless reporters are waiting to dig up stories about you."
Lou Ying snorted coldly and replied, "As your secretaries, Feng Xing and Feng Zhi naturally have to stay at the hospital and pretend to be there."
"..."
Shang Shiyan pursed her lips. She didn't like Lou Ying, but she also felt that what she said made sense.
No rebuttal.
The car door opened again the next second.
Jiang Jibai sat down.
"Why is it you?"
When the two sworn enemies met, Lou Ying and Jiang Jibai spoke up at the same time.
“I don’t need you to drive, I’ll find another driver!” Jiang Jibai said.
"Sit if you want, or get out if you don't!" Lou Ying retorted without any politeness.
"Shut up!"
"If you can't stand it, just poke your ears until they're deaf, hehehe~"
——
besides.
