Chapter 76 Preventing the two from meeting: A mermaid's "maintenance record"...
To be cautious, Bai Ling went down the stairs, his footsteps so light that they made almost no sound.
The basement corridor was dimly lit, with only a faint green light on at the end of the wall. It was a safety sign, indicating that the facilities here were operating normally.
But Bai Ling knew that the seemingly peaceful corridor was densely covered with infrared lasers. If one walked past rashly, the human body would be cruelly cut into pieces.
It is really too much to use such a mechanism to imprison one's own grandfather.
It's pretty good for dealing with a veteran like him.
Bai Ling concentrated his mind and focused his attention on his visual perception. Birds of prey are very sensitive to ultraviolet, infrared and other spectra in the air. They can quickly change the shape of their lenses and see light that is invisible to ordinary human eyes.
In his eyes, these crisscrossed lasers were clearly visible.
Bai Ling curled the corners of his lips, calculated the angle, and suddenly leaned forward, tensing his back and making the posture of a hurdler before starting a race.
Then there was a sound like an explosion in the air, light and quick, and a gust of wind blew by. When I looked towards the end of the corridor, Bai Ling was already standing at the door with ease.
He stretched his arms and did a muscle stretch.
Today's little warm-up, done.
Although the steel door in front of him had a sophisticated structure and was bulletproof, Bai Ling took off the small clip that held his feathers on his head, bit it open with his teeth, and pried open the combination lock in no time.
As soon as I pushed the door open, the man beside the bed stood up suddenly and punched me hard with a loud bang.
Bai Ling dodged by leaning sideways, and slammed his fist on the door panel, cursing: "You unworthy descendant, you dare to hide!"
"Look carefully at who I am."
Zhuo Liangmu was startled by the cold sound. He turned his head blankly and saw a strand of inorganic white hair, which was definitely not the red hair passed down in their family.
Zhuo Liangmu has been a doctor for many years and is very experienced. He immediately judged: "Albino?"
Bai Ling said "hmm" indifferently, not surprised that he could recognize him. In this country, there are indeed many birds with naturally white feathers, but very few are pure white. Most are more or less mixed with the color of other parts of the feathers of the original.
For example, the body of the crane is white with a touch of red and black on its head, so the hair color of the forest crane is like a three-color cup.
Zhuo Liangmu looked alert. He walked to the chair and pretended to pick it up and hit someone with it.
Bai Ling raised his eyes and glanced at him, and found that this "grandfather" was well maintained, looking like a middle-aged man in his forties. The muscles in his arms were vaguely visible, and he even had a bit of... violent tendencies.
"Zhuo Dong asked you to come? Tell him to kneel all the way to see me, otherwise I will never pass on my family property to him until I die!"
Zhuodong...pecked the hole.
The way this family named themselves is really descriptive.
Bai Ling took out the X-ray film. Zhuo Liangmu glanced at it suspiciously, then suddenly became frightened and almost knelt down on the spot.
"So it was that person who sent you here. Please take a seat, please take a seat."
Zhuo Liangmu had served The One for more than thirty years, so how could he not recognize that piece of light with a special shape? The structure of a mermaid is quite different from that of an ordinary alien. When in human form, the sharp dorsal fin will be retracted inside the spine, forming a row of small curved hooks, like a scimitar growing backwards on the spine.
Zhuo Liangmu said angrily: "During the time I was away, did Zhuo Dong do something unscrupulous? Since he alarmed you, it must mean that there was something wrong with his medicine preparation!"
"It is really unfortunate for the Woodpecker family to have such a thing happen. When I get out, I will definitely kick him out of the house and make him get as far away from that poor guy as possible!"
Bai Ling's eyes flashed, "A poor family?"
Zhuo Liangmu blew his beard and glared, and explained the whole thing to him.
It turned out that now there were only the grandfather and his grandson left in the Woodpecker family. They used to depend on each other, live a wealthy life, and lead a simple and stable life.
But one day, the little woodpecker went to the square to set up a stall as usual, providing free medical treatment and medicine to the poor, but he brought back a homeless pregnant woman.
Bai Ling followed his words and thought back. When he was wandering in the square in his previous life, he did see a young doctor who often came to distribute free cold and fever medicines.
So, this little woodpecker should be kind-hearted and a good person.
"Well, that bastard would occasionally bring people back for free treatment, and I didn't take it seriously. But I didn't expect that this pregnant woman would stay in the clinic for two months. She didn't leave even after her injuries healed. Instead, she wanted to stay as a nurse."
Zhuo Liangmu got angry when he thought about it: "So what, I found out she was having an affair with my grandson, and now she's talking about getting married in a flash."
He was so angry that he slammed the table. "Tell me, isn't this repaying kindness with enmity? Saving an ungrateful person! That woman came from the slums, has a bit of intellectual disability, and even stutters when she speaks. How can she be the hostess of this clinic?"
Bai Ling understood and said, "So you broke up the couple."
Zhuo Liangmu snorted coldly, "Of course. I'm his grandfather. I've lived to this age, and I've seen more people than he's chewed on wood. I suspected that woman had bad intentions, saying that she was pretending to be pitiful to deceive people. That bastard begged me to help him in front of me, but I didn't expect that he would find someone to lock me up the next day."
After saying this, he let out a long sigh, and was furious. He wished he could rush out right now and crush his grandson into an egg and stuff him back in.
Bai Ling said coldly: "I came to you to verify one thing. I suspect someone has tampered with The One's medicine."
Zhuo Liangmu rolled up his sleeves and said, "The medicine is in the laboratory. I'll take you to see it right away."
With Bai Ling's guidance, Zhuo Liangmu safely passed the laser array and walked into the elevator, still loudly insulting his grandson and greeting eighteen generations, not minding at all that he was also one of the three generations of elders.
This old woodpecker seems to be a man of temperament.
Zhuo Liangmu did not hide his bad temper at all. Instead, he said proudly, "Do you know Gatlin? He is my great-great-great-great-ancestor."
Bai Ling was silent for a moment. Of course he had heard of Gatling's reputation for "saving lives and healing the wounded".
Gatling was the inventor who developed the machine gun and was also a military doctor. Legend has it that he could not bear to see his own soldiers suffer casualties, so he invented weapons with greater lethality, allowing his soldiers to fight one against ten, thus reducing casualties at the source.
It is the dual practice of medicine and martial arts.
Zhuo Liangmu laughed loudly, "When I was young, I followed my ancestors and served as a military doctor on the front line with the fleet. Sometimes I also touched the gun. I really miss those days, especially when it was hot and worms accidentally grew in everyone's wounds, I would use tweezers to pick them out one by one. That feeling was great!"
Bai Ling: “…………”
Fortunately, I didn't eat before coming.
Zhuo Liangmu looked him up and down again: "Little boy, seeing how tall you are walking, you must be a soldier, right? How is the military doctor in your team? Can he fight?"
Bai Ling did not correct him. The standard for measuring the level of military doctors should not be combat effectiveness. He thought about it, and the image of a female doctor emerged in his mind. Her name was Hai Mian. She was a top student who took the initiative to join the revolutionary army. She had a lot of resources, so she was very generous in prescribing medicine for him.
"I'm not sure if I can fight, but it's pretty easy to administer the medicine."
He could finish three days' worth of painkillers and anesthetics in one day. It sounds unreliable, but it is a helpless move in a battlefield where every second counts.
Zhuo Liangmu frowned and immediately said, "I don't approve of this rude style."
Bai Ling shrugged without commenting, knowing that their medical family had to be more disciplined.
·
The laboratory has an inner warehouse specifically for storing medicine bottles. The security here is very strict, and the layers of locks are no less strict than those in a bank, especially the safes stacked against the wall, which give people the feeling of walking into a vault.
In the clinic, medicines prepared for each major client need to be stored separately.
Zhuo Liangmu opened The One's safe and took out a thick stack of medical records. The front pages were yellowed and curled, and various test reports were sandwiched in the back, making it look like a damaged notebook.
Bai Ling stared at the yellowed book.
This record is filled with Isoparaiso's life and pain. It is truly a "maintenance record" of a mermaid.
The medicine bottle was placed near the inside. Zhuo Liangmu took out the large brown glass bottle, unscrewed the lid and took a look. There were white capsules inside, and there was no clue at all.
He said, "Just randomly select ten to be tested."
Before they finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. Before they could turn around, a pitch-black, cold gun appeared at the door, pointing straight at them.
"Don't move! Put the things down and leave my grandfather, or I will shoot!" Zhuo Dong shouted at the top of his lungs.
As soon as he heard the front desk say someone was coming to look for him, he became suspicious and stepped on the accelerator of the aircraft to come back, and sure enough, he saw this incident.
Zhuo Dong held the gun clumsily with a ferocious expression as he pointed the gun at the forehead of the only stranger present.
Bai Ling glanced at him lightly. His wrist was shaking. "Do you want me to stay still or leave?"
Zhuo Dong: "Raise your hands above your head and walk over slowly."
Bai Ling wanted to laugh. This young master from a noble family had obviously not received any training. He didn't even let the "enemy" squat against the wall with his head in his hands to defend.
He walked over calmly, used a clever move to snatch the gun away, and pulled the gun clip with a "click", and all the bullets inside fell to the ground.
Zhuo Dong was stunned. He looked at him, then at his empty hands, not understanding how that scene just happened.
Zhuo Liangmu cursed: "You bastard, I want to shoot you to death!"
Zhuo Dong was shocked and asked, "Grandpa, aren't you being held hostage?"
"Hostage, that's my lifesaver."
"Who is the kidnapper?"
"You're my grandson!"
“…”
Zhuo Dong was obviously confused: "...but someone clearly sent a threatening letter to me, saying that they wanted to harm Grandpa, so I had no choice but to lock him up."
He also set up a mechanism outside to prevent anyone from entering.
Zhuo Liangmu asked incredulously: "What threatening letter? You concealed such a big thing?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhuo Dong's elegant face. "Grandpa has such a bad temper. After seeing that obscene letter, he will definitely be so angry that he will squat at the door with a gun every day... I don't dare to take that risk."
So, this is just a misunderstanding where the grandson wanted to protect his grandfather's personal safety?
Bai Ling still felt something was wrong.
Zhuo Dong saw the glass bottle and suddenly said, "Grandpa, are you going to make medicine? Don't worry, I'm already preparing the medicine for next month."
Bai Ling had excellent eyesight, and he glanced at the medicine bottle again, and suddenly said, "This medicine is not right."
Zhuo Liangmu was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Bai Ling pinched one out and felt it carefully in his hand. "The materials of the capsules are different. Although they are both white, one is frosted and the other is smooth. You can see for yourself."
Zhuo Dong's expression froze for a moment.
Zhuo Liangmu also realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment. The things were switched!
He immediately questioned his grandson in a cold voice: "Did you do this against your conscience? Kneel down and tell the truth."
Zhuo Dong's mind went blank and his knees fell to the ground with a thud. After walking around for a long time, he finally remembered something: "...I brought Ah Mian to the laboratory before, but I swear, I only let her stay for less than ten minutes. It can't be her..."
He muttered to himself, his voice becoming increasingly low, and it was obvious that he was also in doubt.
Bai Ling frowned: "A Mian?"
Zhuo Dong: "That's my fiancée..."
Zhuo Liangmu slapped his thigh in anger and said, "Stupid, stupid! I told you a long time ago that she was born in a humble family and had bad intentions. I asked you to marry a top student with good moral character, but you refused to listen to anything I said."
Now that the drugs in the laboratory have been touched, the entire safe has to be rechecked. To be on the safe side, all existing drugs must be destroyed and remade.
This is still an optimistic scenario.
If things were worse, the lab's patented formula for the mental tonic might already be circulating on the black market.
At that time, they will not only lose their credibility, but also lose a large number of customers, and it is not impossible that the entire clinic will go bankrupt.
Under Bai Ling's cold and fierce gaze, Zhuo Dong quickly did a drug composition test. He wiped the sweat off his face and whispered:
"The bad news is that the replaced drug was three times the dosage, and taking too much of it can cause mental confusion, kidney failure, stomach disorders and other problems."
Bai Ling's eyes were cold as he recalled how the mermaid had a poor appetite in the past two days, frowning and unable to eat.
"The good news is..." Zhuo Dong glanced at the grim man in front of him, "It was discovered early, and the course of medication has not even lasted a month. It's still not too late for treatment."
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
But the woman who poisoned the food must be tracked down to the end. As expected, the threatening letter was also a trick by the other party to lure the tiger away from the mountain, in order to get rid of the more troublesome old woodpecker.
Zhuo Liangmu sighed with lingering fear: "Fortunately, this gentleman arrived in time, otherwise it would have caused a big mistake, and I would have been blamed if I died."
After they discussed it, they felt that the matter was of serious importance and they had to call the police.
The little woodpecker was still in a daze, not understanding why his "fiancée" betrayed him. It was obvious that they got along so well and felt they should have met too late.
Zhuo Liangmu snatched his grandson's terminal and found the woman's photo to upload a wanted warrant. Bai Ling stood by with his arms folded, watching. When his eyes swept across the virtual screen, his shoulders suddenly shook.
That face...
He knows him!
This woman named "Amian" is exactly the same as the military doctor "Haimian" in her previous life, except that it is ten years ago and she looks much younger.
How could it be such a coincidence? Then those inhibitors he took, those suspected excessive amounts of A hormones...
Bai Ling suddenly had a stomach cramp and a crazy urge to vomit.
As a leader within the revolutionary army, he has always emphasized trust rather than ability. Especially for those military doctors, he took into account that it was not easy for them to adapt to the battlefield environment, and always gave them the best resources, the highest respect, and full trust in them, and listened to any suggestions and treatments they had for their injuries.
The only person a wounded soldier can rely on on the battlefield is a doctor.
But now he was told that the doctor whom he respected so much, and who even repeatedly forced the restless little alphas in the team to apologize to her, actually had bad intentions from the beginning.
There was a barely perceptible flash of bloodshot in Bai Ling's eyes. He must avenge this betrayal, along with the hurt he had caused Yu Shen.
I contacted the AI, screened the name through the database, and found [Haimian]’s resume.
Unexpectedly, Haimian is the other party's real name. His race is marine, belonging to the class Sponges, phylum Porifera, and is the Caribbean fire sponge.
This creature looks like a bug and has many holes, which perfectly matches the XP of a woodpecker that loves to drill holes and eat bugs.
Bai Ling said slowly: "This Hai Mian is not the poor girl or the pitiful pregnant woman you think she is. She comes from a distinguished family. She studied abroad in the Federation since she was young and graduated from the First Medical University of the Federation. She is two years younger than you when you received your doctorate."
The old woodpecker looked down on this "grandson's wife" and wanted his grandson to marry a top student with similar ideals. It turned out that the other party was really such a top student.
Bai Ling's pupils shrank into needles: "Most importantly, she is a senior researcher at Ruike Pharmaceuticals."
Ruiko Pharmaceuticals is the unscrupulous pharmaceutical giant that once caused an accident in a mecha competition.
Strictly speaking, they are competitors of private laboratories such as Woodpecker.
The little woodpecker said blankly, "...No wonder she always listens to those boring experimental data with such relish. I thought I had found a soulmate."
Old Woodpecker: “…”
My grandson has a high IQ, right? Haha, I exchanged it for emotional intelligence.
Bai Ling looked out the window. The dark sky was tinged with a hint of blood red. A vague feeling gradually came to his mind.
…Somehow, in his previous life, there seemed to be a force that had been hurting him and Yu Chen, perhaps for the purpose of…
Prevent them from meeting.

Undersea super city - "Poseidon".
In the Duke's mansion, which was as luxurious as a royal palace, the Swordfish Archduke stroked the photo of his son, and a trace of pain rarely appeared in his cruel eyes:
"Gram, my son, my little swordfish... your father will definitely avenge you."
Duke Swordfish was ill for five years. He was too old, having lived for nearly two hundred years. His organs had already failed, and because he was a pureblood, he could not get a suitable organ and had never been able to undergo a transplant. He could only stay in the treatment cabin with tubes inserted all over his body to maintain his life.
But a few days ago, internal organs that were 99% a match for him suddenly appeared on the black market.
Duke Swordfish was overjoyed and immediately purchased the product in full. After installation, it really worked very well with almost no rejection reaction.
He thought that he could finally get out of the treatment cabin and share family happiness with his young son, but he didn't expect to hear the sad news of his son's death as soon as he got out of the cabin.
After his son's remains were delivered, an anonymous person sent him a report in a very humble tone.
The investigation report shows that Gram was most likely killed by a mecha pilot named "Bai Ling".
Duke Swordfish decided to avenge his son.
"Destroy that 'White Zero' and make his life worse than death..." A vicious look flashed across the old face of the Grand Duke. "It would be best to think of a way to make him suffer from a chronic disease, so that he can watch himself die of incurable diseases and slowly die of exhaustion!"
No one knows that Duke Swordfish is actually the real owner of the evil pharmaceutical giant [Rico].
In the channel of his communication conversation, the avatar codenamed "Sponge" lit up, and the voice replied: "I will do as you wish. At the latest the day after tomorrow, I will let you see with your own eyes his blood spilled on the tombstone of Major General Gram."
The Grand Duke rolled his cloudy eyes and said, "What are you going to do? Hai Mian."
"The 'White Zero' club is recruiting psychiatrists. I can apply to be their team doctor."
At the same time, the team leader received a job application.
[Psychiatrist]: Hello, leader of the "Voice of the Birds" club. I heard you're looking for a therapist for the mentally unstable pilot in your regiment. Here's my resume. I have extensive professional experience and can start work tomorrow.
The team leader didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
He took into account that Bai Ling's mental stability rate was the lowest in the competition, and wanted to win him over and cultivate him, so he thought about finding a therapist to give Bai Ling good treatment.
Since the doctor will be able to start work tomorrow, he can have a detailed talk with the little white bird after Bai Ling finishes the treatment.
Let’s talk about…whether or not to join his Wild Star Revolution team.
