Chapter 377 Joining the Resistance (8) - Si Chen Comes to the Door
At this point, testing might not even be necessary. If Si Zhong wasn't so certain, why would he let her do it herself?
Since the results are the same, the process of getting tested is really just about convincing herself.
But Ning Shu decided to do it anyway; giving herself a definite answer was far better than guessing.
She put the box away: "I'm going out for a bit."
Si Zhong understood what she was going to do and did not object. He handed her a personal terminal: "This is something that should have been given to you a long time ago."
Ning Shu didn't take it: "I don't want it now. Take me to the ground and wait for me at the entrance of Chongzheng Building after I've finished my business."
Chongzheng Building is located in the city center with convenient transportation. She had enough money on her to take public transportation there. Her personal terminal might have a location tracking feature, and she didn't want to be monitored.
Si Zhong was actually unwilling, but he knew that Ning Shu did not want him or his people to follow, so he finally agreed.
After Si Zhong brought Ning Shu to the ground, he couldn't help but hug her: "You'll come back, won't you?"
Ning Shu smiled wryly: "I'm already in Youcheng, how could I possibly run away?"
This is the territory of the Si brothers; it's not so easy to come and go. She has nothing of value, so even entering and leaving the city is difficult.
Si Zhong knew she was telling the truth, but he was still uneasy.
In the end, she compromised: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
As he spoke, Si Zhong took out a pistol, which looked more advanced than Ning Shu's previous one. "Take this and protect yourself."
Ning Shu nodded, turned around and left.
She went to an internet cafe first; yes, such places still exist in this day and age.
She first went online to search for several reputable hospitals that do DNA testing, and checked their reputation. After finding them, she asked the receptionist for a pen and paper and copied them down.
She even drew a map draft to make it easier for her to find the place, and also checked the prices.
After Ning Shu selected a hospital, she followed the direction indicated on the map, taking a shortcut through a large shopping mall to quickly reach the hospital.
After paying the fees at the hospital, I handed over the box containing the two test tubes, took the paper receipt, and left.
After leaving the hospital, she ate at a fast food restaurant and then leisurely took a bus to Chongzheng Building.
As soon as Ning Shu got out of the car and appeared in front of the Chongzheng Building, she was stopped by someone: "Miss Ning, Mr. Si wants to see you."
Si Chen's speed has never disappointed her; if it were him in the game, she probably wouldn't even be able to get out.
Ning Shu was led to Si Chen's office. This was her first time there. His office was much more luxurious and serious than Si Zhong's.
Ning Shu knew that she would have to get past Si Chen eventually, so she decided to just go for it and found a seat as soon as she entered without waiting for him to greet her.
When Si Chen saw Ning Shu's overly familiar manner, he was taken aback and somewhat incredulous.
It seems Ning Shu has grown bolder after going out for a while.
I've noticed that while I wasn't always very polite, I wasn't as casual as I am today.
Si Chen's first words were: "Do you know what coming back means?"
Ning Shu shook her head: "I don't know. Didn't I run away as you wished? Si Zhong brought me back, so you can't blame me."
Upon hearing this, the official's face darkened.
Ning Shu smiled: "You don't think I didn't see it, do you? We humans are just behind you in terms of technological development, not in terms of intelligence."
It is for this reason that the Minister of Works had to take precautions.
When Si Chen agreed to let him leave to handle some business, and only Xiao Lan was with him, Ning Shu guessed his intentions.
She simply wanted to tell Si Zhong that she didn't love him, which is why she ran away.
The truth is that Ning Shu wanted to seize this opportunity to find news of her parents. Although the result was not good, at least she got some information.
Now that she's forced to return, she has to strike first: "I did fulfill your request back then."
Although I didn't tell Si Zhong we were breaking up in person, my actions conveyed my meaning.
"I don't even want the wealth and luxury you offer; you're getting a bargain!"
Si Chen: "..."
This was the first time he had ever been treated so "cheaply"—he'd really made a killing!
"It's true that Si Zhong forced you to come back, but it wasn't entirely his doing. Do you want to hear it?"
The minister felt incredibly pleased with himself as he thought about what he was about to say.
Ning Shu sneered: "If I say I don't want to hear it, will you just stop talking? When did Mr. Si become so nice?"
Si Chen showed no anger at being offended and began to recount what he knew:
"Ah Zhong has been searching for you like crazy for the past three months. Because he couldn't find any trace of you, he actually cooperated with the Roy aliens for the first time ever."
As the commander of one of the squads tasked with strangling the resistance.
He even told the rebels that he would continue killing them as long as he couldn't find them.
During this period, many of the resistance's plans were thwarted by Si Zhong, and they also suffered considerable losses.
In the end, the rebels agreed to hand you over.
Do you think it's just a coincidence that Si Zhong came knocking on your door as soon as you showed up?
It's all because your so-called compatriots betrayed you. You humans are all brains and no substance; you need to unite.
Ning Shu was somewhat shocked. An Ran betrayed her? No... that's probably not the case.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed too coincidental. Their journey to Xicheng was too smooth, and they were contacted the very next day after arriving in Xicheng.
Ning Shu's hands, which were originally resting on her thighs, clenched instantly, revealing that she was not as calm as she appeared.
Si Chen noticed her subtle movements and thought to himself that she was still too young and couldn't hide anything from anyone.
Ning Shu didn't expect that Si Chen would drop another bombshell next.
Do you realize that you are no longer human?
What?! Are you kidding me?! Doesn't she know whether she's human or not?
Seeing Ning Shu's astonished expression, Si Chen knew that Si Zhong hadn't told her, and he didn't know what Si Zhong was wary of.
Si Chen wasn't that kind-hearted; he wouldn't do a good deed and then hide it. He decided to help Si Zhong out.
He smiled, deliberately whetting Ning Shu's appetite: "Ah Zhong took you to the mothership, didn't he? Did you see the children?"
He actually knew about the child!
Ning Shu felt a little panicked. After all, the fact that he still wanted to attack her even though he knew she was the child's biological mother showed that he didn't care at all about killing his niece's mother.
Si Chen didn't care whether she answered his question or not: "You probably don't know about the child's existence, and you may not believe that the child is yours now."
"That's alright, it doesn't affect what I'm about to say. Whether you believe me or not is not my concern."
Ning Shu remained silent, staring intently into Si Chen's almost golden eyes, as if trying to discern the truthfulness of his words through them.
It was rare for Si Chen to be looked at like that by someone else. He was distracted for a moment, then immediately looked away, avoiding direct eye contact with Ning Shu.
This action made Ning Shu frown, and she remained skeptical of what he was about to say.
