Chapter 609 In metaphysics, this should be called "telepathic connection".
The time that follows.
Pei Jinwu practically lived in the lab, searching for alternative ingredients while keeping track of Li Xiao's whereabouts.
Over the past ten days, both the S Alliance and the Underground City have launched a joint search for the person.
But Li Xiao seemed to have vanished from the world, leaving no trace.
“Dad only has three pills left.” He Huaixu poured a glass of lemon water and placed it next to Pei Jinwu.
Three pills will only last for six days.
Six days later...
Without an antidote, Sheng Beitang could only suffer from a persistent high fever and burn to death.
"Li Xiao hasn't made a move yet?" Pei Jinwu asked in confusion. "That shouldn't be the case."
They deliberately gave me only twenty days' worth of medication.
Isn't it obvious that they want to use this incident to manipulate her again?
Time passed day by day.
If something happens to his father after he finishes taking the medicine, wouldn't he lose his "handle"?
“No.” He Huaixu shook his head. “The S Alliance and the Underground City are doing their best to search, but there are no clues for the time being.”
"knew."
Pei Jinwu pinched the bridge of her nose, and just as she was feeling anxious, the phone suddenly rang.
Mother.
"Wuwu." Xia Xunran's cheerful voice rang out as the call connected: "Are you still in the lab? Mom made something delicious, bring your second brother back with you."
"We've been reunited for so long, but we haven't had a meal together yet."
Since learning that an antidote could be developed, Xia Xun's mood has improved considerably.
"I'll go back now."
Pei Jinwu responded and, as she walked out, informed Shang Shiyan, who was at the conglomerate, "Mom has informed us that it's time for a family reunion dinner."
"We're not engaged yet, would it be inappropriate for me to join..."
"Come if you want, don't come if you don't."
"I love coming." Shang Shiyan's face was beaming as he stood up and glanced at the executives below the stage: "The meeting is adjourned early, everyone can leave now."
"yes."
The higher-ups nodded and returned the smiles.
Ever since Mr. Shang announced his engagement, the entire conglomerate has been basking in the joy.
Do the right thing: Receive a bonus.
Sign the contract: Receive the bonus.
Unexplained: Receiving a bonus.
...and received another bonus.
The entire conglomerate was beaming with happiness.
Going to work is great.
I love going to work.
They ruined the class.
——
S Alliance Base.
Jiang Jibai, He Huaixu, Song Mingji, Heihu, Shen Qianhua (husband and wife), and Qu Qingli.
Pei Jinwu, and her fiancé whom she is not yet engaged to.
The siblings gathered together.
"Sit down." Xia Xun had changed her clothes and carefully styled her hair.
She looks elegant and intellectual.
Everyone took their seats.
"This family reunion dinner is sixteen years late for us." Xia Xun looked tenderly at her children and said softly, "You've all heard about what happened before, but you may not know the specific details."
"..."
Everyone nodded and listened quietly.
"Mom will tell you everything today," Xia Xun sighed.
"Back then, my parents were researchers at a research institute in country A, focusing on human genetics."
"I thought I was doing something good for humanity, but I never imagined that country A would want to use this research for something shady."
"In a fit of anger, Bei Tang and I tried to destroy the entire laboratory. Unfortunately—"
At this point, Xia Xun paused, her eyes reddening: "Li Xiao, your maternal grandfather's adopted son. He has been secretly colluding with Country A for a long time, trying to use genetic modification technology to seek excessive profits."
"Your father and I were arrested. Because of our unique genes, Country A and Li Xiao extracted our genes and implanted them into other people's bodies, resulting in the birth of the first six children,"
"..."
Jiang Jibai and the others' pupils constricted slightly; they hadn't expected that they would be born in this way.
No wonder—
I used to think my parents didn't watch TV at night.
She actually gave birth to seven children.
"Knowing that you would be disemboweled for experiments, Bei Tang and I did everything we could to rescue you."
"From then on, our family lived a life on the run."
This escape lasted for many years.
"What about Wuwu?" Song Mingji pointed to the bewildered Pei Jinwu. "Wuwu wouldn't be... too..."
“Wuwu, she…”
When this was brought up, Xia Xun was a little embarrassed and blushed as she said, "It was an unplanned pregnancy."
"..."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips. It turned out that her birth was better than that of her older brother and sister.
They were forced into it; she was caught off guard.
hehe.
That's interesting.
“Li Xiao is arrogant and self-important…” Xia Xun’s face was full of anger when he mentioned him: “If it weren’t for him, our family would not have been separated for more than ten years.”
"And Bei Tang, he wouldn't be like this now."
"But Li Xiao hasn't been found yet..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned sour.
A time bomb.
It might suddenly explode any day.
"Let's not talk about him." Xia Xun forced a smile. "Today is our family reunion dinner, it's bad luck to mention him."
"that is."
Song Mingji stepped in to lighten the mood, picking up an orange juice: "Mom, let me pour you a drink."
"Let's eat," Xia Xun said with a smile.
During the meal.
They chatted casually, seemingly relaxed, but actually quite reserved.
The important thing is...
The antidote for the father is not yet complete.
As Xia Xun ate, she looked up and saw Pei Jinwu holding chopsticks, aimlessly poking at her rice.
"Eat up." Song Mingji put some food on her plate, his face beaming.
"Wuwu doesn't like to eat scallions."
Shang Shiyan answered for her, and then cleaned the scallions off the plate.
"Want some chicken wings?" Qu Qingli asked.
"She only eats cola chicken wings; she thinks the others are too fishy."
Shang Shiyan answered again.
"oh."
Qu Qingli quickly pulled her chopsticks back, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Have some of this." Shang Shiyan put some fish in her bowl.
The thorns were removed, and it was even dipped in sauce.
Pei Jinwu picked up her chopsticks, put them in her mouth, and looked across at the person opposite her.
"?"
Jiang Jibai immediately became alert and was about to make a good impression by asking her which dish she wanted to eat.
Shang Shiyan bypassed him and picked up the boiled shrimp on the very edge.
"Old fox, how did you know Wuwu wanted to eat shrimp?" Jiang Jibai asked curiously.
"Um?"
Shang Shiyan slightly raised his eyes, a smile playing on his thin lips, and said, "There's no way to explain it. In metaphysics, this is called 'telepathy.'"
"Tsk."
Jiang Jibai rolled his eyes and snorted, "Mom didn't put in any vinegar, so why is it so sour?"
"Is that so?"
Shang Shiyan raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "Actor Jiang has never been in a relationship, so he wouldn't understand."
"Old fox, you've gone too far," Jiang Jibai said, laughing in exasperation.
That's a fucking personal attack.
"It is white."
Seeing her son making such a racket, Xia Xun couldn't help but remind him, "Let's eat."
She noticed it too.
Shang Shiyan took meticulous care of Wuwu, practically reading her mind.
I feel at ease knowing someone is taking care of her.
Immediately afterwards.
Xia Xun looked at the other children, her smile turning bitter.
it's a pity.
Such happy and harmonious days will probably never come again.
I was just thinking about it.
Xia Xun's phone suddenly vibrated.
Li Xiao sent a message: "Have you thought it through? Are you coming with me or not?"
Xia Xun clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to burst into a tirade.
Li Xiao: "Don't even think about complaining. If you dare to reveal even a single detail, the antidote will disappear immediately."
"Ah Xun, you know that what I say, I do."

good evening.
