Old Yuan recounted the whole story to Qu Tong.
The illegal organization was located in the dense forest of a heavily polluted garbage planet. If Qu Tong hadn't accidentally intercepted Du Biao's ship, who would have thought that there would be people in such a place where even alien beasts would have a hard time surviving?
When Wu Yue arrived with his troops, Si Yuting had already ascertained the entire security layout and personnel situation of the illegal organization.
Upon Wu Yue's arrival, he immediately trapped them like turtles in a jar, and none of them escaped.
The leader of the illegal organization turned out to be a collateral branch of the Lan family. They not only developed illegal drugs, but also conducted human research. They rescued hundreds of victims, dressed in rags and barely recognizable, from the basement. These victims came from all three major empires, and many of them were people who had been declared missing a few years ago.
They found a lot of important information in the archives, including funds and medicines provided to them by the pharmacists' union, as well as records of illegal drug transactions.
Judging from the transaction records, most of the prohibited drugs developed over the years have been supplied to the Pharmacists' Guild, and the quantity is not small. Even if Lan Jianghong is a master pharmacist, it's enough to put him in jail for life.
Who would have thought that a company that saves lives, a pharmacist's union that has always been seen as a righteous and glorious organization, would be involved in such harmful activities?
Most of those who were imprisoned were captured with the help of the Viper Pirates.
Qu Tong wasn't as surprised as Old Man Yuan. Every world has its own hidden darkness, and she had encountered quite a bit of it herself.
After listening to Old Man Yuan's words, Qu Tong hung up the call and got up to go deeper into the sea of flowers.
For dinner, I'd like to have rose shortbread and crystal buns, plus a peach bubble tea.
But then they saw Lao Liu at the bottom of the hillside, and then he disappeared again.
Qu Tong took two steps forward out of curiosity and saw that Lao Liu had actually fallen down.
His two legs were limply hanging behind him, with mechanical aids attached to them, as if he were practicing walking. His wheelchair was placed far away.
The grayish-blue clothes were covered in gray stains, probably from a fall that injured the wrist, and there was a little blood on the cuff.
The sixth brother didn't care about this minor injury and kept trying to get up, but he failed several times and his wrist was injured a second time.
"Do you need any help?" Qu Tong walked over.
The sixth brother looked up, somewhat surprised and embarrassed. "No, no need, I want to do it myself."
"Okay." Qu Tong respected his wishes and turned back to trim the flower branches.
Seeing that Qu Tong had turned her back, Lao Liu relaxed a lot and continued to try to get up, dragging his numb legs.
When his wife saw his disheveled state, Lao Liu felt awkward and lost his will to continue practicing. He leaned on his cane and returned to his wheelchair.
Qu Tong had already cut a large bunch of flowers and placed them on the ground, dividing them into two piles. Qu Tong planned to put the smaller pile in the room, and the leaves had been removed from the roots.
The sixth brother wheeled himself over and said, “Madam, the flowers here are the best I’ve ever seen. They bloom for a very long time and have almost never withered.”
Qu Tong turned around and put down a flower with the good leaves removed. "I don't have any other hobbies. I just like growing flowers and farming. Maybe I've learned a few tricks from growing them so much."
"Madam is too modest," the sixth brother said with a smile, regaining his usual composure.
The two didn't say anything more. Old Liu probably felt it would be impolite to leave first, so he waited for a while.
Qu Tong put the portion she had prepared for making rose shortbread into her spatial storage, picked up the smaller bunch, and turned back, saying, "It's getting dark, you should go home early too."
"good."
The sixth brother lagged behind Qu Tong and slowly turned his wheelchair back.
After walking a distance, Lao Liu looked up again, but Qu Tong was no longer in sight.
The lady possesses a natural ease that doesn't pry into other people's private affairs or interfere with their cause and effect, yet she isn't as serious as a general, making her very comfortable to be around.
Qu Tong guessed that Si Yuting was still sleeping, so she placed the flowers in the living room on the first floor and went to find some fresh ingredients.
By the time dinner was ready, it was completely dark.
Qu Tong checked the time, placed half of the flowers on the coffee table in the living room, and carried the other large bouquet upstairs to call Si Yuting for dinner.
Pushing open the door, she found Si Yuting already awake, sitting at her desk, flipping through a book.
To be precise, she had just finished reading the one that was tucked between the pages of the book.
Fertility manual!
Why did Si Yuting suddenly decide to read her book?
Their eyes met, and Si Yuting spoke first: "Why does Ali have this?"
Qu Tong had originally planned to tell Si Yuting, and she didn't feel guilty about being caught.
I calmly walked over, added water to the glass, put the roses in, and adjusted their shape.
Throughout the entire process, Si Yuting's gaze never left Qu Tong for a moment.
After doing all this, Qu Tong walked around from the other side of the desk to Si Yuting, leaned into his arms, raised her eyebrows, smiled slightly, and asked half-jokingly, "If I said I just grabbed it from the hospital, would you believe me?"
Si Yuting stared intently at Qu Tong, his gaze unfathomable.
Qu Tong placed her index and middle fingers on Si Yuting's exposed pectoral muscles, climbing upwards, "If I said I could reproduce asexually, would you believe me?"
Si Yuting grasped Qu Tong's fingers, lowered his eyes, and said, "Guess."
Qu Tong smiled quietly and dropped a bombshell: "Congratulations, General, on becoming a father without pain. Are you happy?"
"Thud!" The booklet in Si Yuting's hand fell to the ground.
Si Yuting's pupils dilated, his expression frozen on his face from a moment ago.
At that moment, the world fell silent.
The sound of a rapid heartbeat seemed to be right next to my ears.
It's one thing to guess, but quite another to actually get it confirmed.
He never harbored any illusions.
Even though I heard the news two weeks ago, I quickly calmed down.
So far, there has been no case of creating a birth rate from scratch.
How could he not be shocked!
"Kai, Kaixin." Si Yuting was somewhat out of control, and his speech was unusually stammering.
The books lay unattended on the ground. Si Yuting stared at Qu Tong's stomach, slowly reaching out his hand. A closer look revealed that his hand was trembling.
Seeing Si Yuting's reaction, Qu Tong couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Si Yuting ignored Qu Tong's mockery and focused intently on placing his hand on Qu Tong's stomach through her clothes, with the same care and caution he would show when handling a fragile piece of porcelain.
"We have a child?" Si Yuting murmured, still somewhat incredulous.
"Are you so sure this child is yours?" Qu Tong raised an eyebrow.
In this situation, shouldn't a normal person's first reaction be that something has appeared on their head?
"I believe you," Si Yuting replied earnestly.
Okay, Si Yuting doesn't belong to the category of normal people.
He is rational, meticulous, and especially! Especially! He trusts himself.
Qu Tong pouted. This is really boring; it's not funny at all.
"The baby is still too small to feel anything." Qu Tong took out an electronic ultrasound report from the computer and enlarged it. "Look at this."
Although interstellar medical technology has advanced considerably, a three-month-old fetus is not yet fully formed; it is only the size of a lemon and nothing is visible.
Looking at the words "[Intrauterine Pregnancy, Single Live Fetus (Female)]" below the picture, Si Yuting felt as if he were floating.
Si Yuting stared at the page for a long time without turning it.
"Alright, calm down, let's talk about something else." Qu Tong patted Si Yuting's hand with amusement.
Si Yuting turned his gaze to Qu Tong. Although he didn't say anything, Qu Tong could clearly feel his joy.
Have you had your fertility scores checked?
Si Yuting shook his head. "Go back for a check-up tonight?"
"Huh?" Qu Tong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded after realizing what she meant. "Okay, but let's have a meal first."
There's no need to rush.
"Okay." Si Yuting took out his personal terminal and contacted Si Chen.
Qu Tong reached out and pressed her hand on the personal terminal. "Can we not tell Father and Mother about this for the time being?"
Although she can't hide it for long, her belly will show, and she can't avoid getting checked.
But she hasn't figured out any other way to avoid exposing her fertility value; she'd rather delay it as long as possible.
"I know." Si Yuting had also considered this and readily agreed. (End of Chapter)
