Chapter 686 Don't lose your life before you even finish eating the melon!
"Isn't the person in the video Pei Jinwu?"
Hearing this, the people around started talking about it.
“She’s a colleague of Xia Xun and Sheng Beitang, so they might be on the same side. She’ll definitely speak up for them.”
"Exactly, what good things can come from researching genetic modification?"
"If you ask me, she should be arrested!"
"Professor Mo, you need evidence to speak," the reporter said. "You say the subject in the video isn't Pei Jinwu, how can you prove that?"
The truth they saw was that Pei Jinwu was lying on the operating table.
"..."
Pei Jinwu's face paled slightly as she stared silently at Professor Mo, her mouth agape, unsure how to speak.
This was also the question she was most curious about.
"Of course it can be proven."
Professor Mo turned around and faced the reporter who asked the question, saying each word clearly: "Because the person who underwent the experiment was my own daughter."
What?
Upon hearing this, all discussion completely ceased.
People stared at her with surprise and confusion.
When his daughter was mentioned, Professor Mo's eyes welled up with tears, unable to hide his grief.
"Back then, I was a researcher at the Institute of Gene Biology in Country A."
Professor Mo moved his pale lips and slowly spoke, "The institute claims that the purpose of this research is to treat genetic diseases and has a significant impact on human development."
"Dr. Sheng Beitang, Dr. Xia Xun, and I all believed each other's words."
"After we went inside, we discovered that the research institute was using our gene modification project for profit."
"Dr. Sheng and Dr. Xia's genes were so outstanding that they were extracted and used to breed six children. The research institute is trying to use these six children to conduct different genetic experiments."
After discovering this, the couple planned to leave with their six children.
"But then, their youngest daughter was born. After testing, Pei Jinwu's genes were found to be even better than her parents', which tempted the research institute to use her for their latest gene modification project."
People listened quietly, as if it were a fairy tale.
"And the person who performed the surgery was me." Professor Mo forced a bitter smile. "As for why I didn't use her as the test subject, but instead used my daughter..."
Professor Mo choked up at this point.
"Because I believe that gene editing technology is already very mature and can be tested on children."
"Therefore, I secretly brought my daughter, who was the same age as me, into the laboratory and exchanged her with Pei Jinwu."
“The laboratory must be sterile, so the monitoring is only focused on me and Pei Jinwu. In reality, the needle is connected to my daughter’s blood vessel.”
"..."
Sheng Beitang and Xia Xun exchanged glances, both of them surprised.
“My daughter was squeezed at birth, causing brain hypoxia, which resulted in cerebral palsy.” Professor Mo wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes and continued, “I want to use genetic modification to make her a normal person.”
"But her genetic makeup wasn't good enough; she wasn't even eligible for the modifications. So I came up with this method, thinking it would be foolproof..."
At this point, Professor Mo couldn't hold back his tears, saying, "I overestimated this technology."
“After my daughter underwent genetic modification, her blood became infected, leading to cell death, and she died in less than a month.”
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a long silence.
Pei Jinwu's brows furrowed deeply.
That's one reason why she's unwilling to talk about it.
"Gene modification projects have been under research for at least forty years, and have yet to succeed."
Professor Mo sighed softly, looking dejected, and said, "If it had been Pei Jinwu who underwent genetic modification, she might have died long ago."
"Genetic modification? Ha, that's impossible!"
Professor Mo's lips twitched into a sorrowful smile. "Those who maliciously research genetic modification will not have a good end. For example, me."
After saying that, she took a USB drive out of her pocket and handed it to Pei Jinwu.
There's a video inside.
It was a camera I secretly placed there to observe the changes in my daughter during her rehabilitation process; it could clearly show all the footage.
Pei Jinwu took it and casually handed it to Feng Zhi and Sheng Beitang.
Sheng Beitang put it into the computer, and the complete video quickly appeared on the big screen.
The camera was pointed at a position that allowed viewers to see not only Professor Mo's actions.
You can still see the figures of two children.
Pei Jin was already asleep in the hospital bed, with an IV drip in her hand.
Upon closer inspection, the syringe didn't even have a needle.
There was also a small shelf under the hospital bed.
Lying on the shelf was a little girl of similar age to Pei Jinwu.
She had an injection in her hand, and blood was flowing through the tube.
Because Professor Mo had specifically arranged for the lab's cameras to be pointed at the computer screens,
From the perspective of surveillance cameras, it would be easy to assume that Pei Jinwu was undergoing reformation.
The truth finally came out, and those present were so shocked they were speechless.
so.
Is Pei Jinwu really not a genetically modified monster? Is she just naturally this smart?
ah?
God, open your eyes and look, is this really true?
"If genetic modification techniques become truly advanced, wouldn't what you're doing violate human ethics?"
The reporter turned his attention to Professor Mo, asking, "How can you be a qualified doctor if you do this?"
“So, I’ve been punished; I’ve lost my child.” Professor Mo’s face was ashen. “I’m standing up today just to prevent innocent people from being blamed, especially Dr. Xia and her husband. They suffered a lot trying to stop the genetic modification research.”
"They are not scoundrels, but heroes."
Professor Mo swallowed hard, looked at the people on the stage, and said in a hoarse voice, "I've said everything I needed to say. When I was pregnant and fainted, you took me to the hospital in time, saving my life and my daughter's life."
"Now, we're even."
After saying all that he had to say, Professor Mo left under everyone's watchful eyes.
Shang Shiyan turned around and glanced at Feng Xing.
Feng Xing immediately understood, led his men over, and escorted her safely away.
"Does anyone else have any questions?"
Pei Jinwu withdrew her gaze, glanced at the time, and said coldly, "Especially this reporter!"
"..."
The reporter pursed his lips, subconsciously shook his head, and silently moved the camera away.
"Let's call it a day."
Shang Shiyan stood up, took Pei Jinwu's hand, and said indifferently, "From now on, I don't want to hear any words that slander my fiancée and family. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, please get in the car." Feng Zhi immediately opened the car door and escorted the two away.
The press conference, from beginning to end, was entirely under Pei Jinwu's control.
It really only took half an hour.
Not a penny more, not a penny less.
The reporters and onlookers only realized what had happened after all the sports cars had left.
Scratching his head, his face full of confusion: "So what's the conclusion?"
"Don't you understand?"
The person next to him chimed in:
"Pei Jinwu's genes haven't been altered; she was born this smart!"
"besides."
"Mr. Shang said that from now... no, from three minutes ago, anyone who says anything defamatory about his fiancée online will face the consequences!"
Upon hearing this...
The reporters snapped back to reality and frantically turned off their cameras.
Don't lose your life before you even finish eating the melon!
——
besides.
