Lin Changli smiled alluringly: "As expected of my woman, we have the same hobbies."
Kong Sang then remembered that this guy had a habit of driving his old car out in the middle of the night...
He rolled his eyes and said, "Why did you all chase after me? Are you all so rich and powerful that you're just bored and looking for trouble?" Anyone with a brain would know that the address was exposed by the traitor Yu Wei.
Seeing the mud, which didn't belong in the city, clinging to the wheels, the two exchanged a few glances but didn't ask any further questions. After exchanging a few jokes, they went into the ward together.
Xu Lin was awake, and apart from being a little pale, he was in good spirits.
"Miss, where have you been? It was my fault for not bringing bodyguards. I should have brought more people. The car accident wasn't an accident. I was afraid they would attack you." Xu Lin said with a grim expression.
Kong Sang pulled up a stool and sat down: "It's alright, the bodyguards are here."
Xu Lin glanced at Lin Changli and Si Yu with a strange look in his eyes. They had indeed arrived...
How did you feel about being hit by the car?
Xu Lin was dumbfounded. What could he possibly feel? It just hurt!
Seemingly knowing what Xu Lin was thinking, Kong Sang continued, "Does it hurt? If it hurts, learn from it and make someone else feel the pain next time."
Seemingly understanding something, Xu Lin's eyes flashed: "Young Miss, please speak frankly."
"Alright, let's get straight to the point. Having you around me is really conspicuous. This time you broke your ribs because of a glass of wine, and next time you might get your head chopped off because of a single sentence."
"I've always been protected since I left the Nie family, so I'm not used to protecting others. Therefore... you need to be able to protect yourself before you can work for me."
"You probably haven't taken any gene-editing drugs. I'll give you some, will you take it?"
Yu Wei's expression was complicated. In fact, gene drugs are a mixed bag. On the one hand, they can indeed change the human body, making it stronger and even extending lifespan within a certain range.
There are countless cases worldwide of terminally ill people taking gene therapy and extending their lifespan for a period of time, which is enough to make people go crazy for it.
However, there are also many disadvantages. Not to mention the possibility of mutation failure or even death, even if it is successful, one must take expensive gene-editing drugs every month, otherwise the genes will regress...
The regression mentioned here does not mean returning to a normal state, but rather that all physical and intellectual functions degenerate, becoming neither human nor monster.
This is why the Nie family holds such a prominent position. It can be said that no one in the world who has taken gene-editing drugs can afford the cost of the Nie family's disappearance.
The Nie family is using gene therapy to indirectly control the world. Various countries are both happy and wary of the Nie family's gene therapy, and have been in a state of contradiction for years.
It's not that no one has tried to develop the same thing, but none have succeeded...
Over the years, gene therapy has become a global phenomenon. Every time a new generation of gene therapy is released, it sparks a global craze, and prices have skyrocketed.
Xu Lin did not take it not because he did not want to, but because his past economic situation did not support him.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, he doesn't care about being the one being controlled. In life, you reap what you sow.
"Eat, thank you, Miss."
Kong Sang chuckled: "A smart choice. With me here, you'll never have to worry about gene therapy again. This isn't just empty promises; I'm personally feeding you the real deal. Now, you can be discharged."
With two grown men, Si Yu and Lin Changli, there was nothing more easy than getting the person home.
When Yu Wei and the other two saw the scarlet pills in Kong Sang's hand, their eyes flickered slightly. Something was wrong; this medicine was unlike any they had ever seen before.
Since returning from the apocalypse, no one knows better than the Nie family how many generations of gene-enhancing drugs they have produced, but none of them are this color.
Did their return flutter the butterfly effect and change things, or... was there something they didn't know about the medicine?
Si Yu smiled and tentatively asked, "Kong Sang, the color of this medicine is quite nice. The 8th generation is white, so this is the 9th generation that hasn't been released yet?"
Kong Sang shook his head: "It's not the ninth generation. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. It's called 'Bandage,' which is the name I came up with. The drug concentration is several times that of the eighth generation. You only need to take it once a quarter."
Yu Wei gasped. This was too strange. Bandages? The Nie family hadn't shown any signs of this since the apocalypse...
If such a potent medicine existed during the apocalypse, it would have been snapped up by now.
A glint flashed in Lin Changli's eyes, and he suddenly asked, "Why is it called a bandage?"
Kong Sang softened her tone: "Have you ever worn bandages when you were injured? Have you ever seen white bandages gradually stained red with blood?"
"The medicines from the Nie family are all filthy, disgusting, and rotten. I just wanted to give it a clean name so I wouldn't feel disgusted, but I couldn't think of anything else, so I called it bandage."
Everyone fell silent. There were so many clean words to choose from, but Kong Sang could only think of the bandages used to treat injuries. How profound must that memory be to evoke such a thought?
"Ahem... Miss, now that you mention gene therapy, I suddenly don't really want to take it anymore."
Kong Sang sneered, pinched Xu Lin's mouth, and shoved the medicine in: "You think I'm easy to talk to? Don't be so ungrateful after getting the benefit. You're asking for trouble."
They didn't even give me a drop of water, they just forced it down my throat...
Xu Lin almost gagged, and was about to say something to complain when his body went limp and he collapsed, losing consciousness.
His body temperature rose rapidly, and he developed a high fever.
Yu Wei touched Xu Lin's forehead: "This medicine works too fast. Even if it's the first time taking the eighth generation directly, it still takes several hours for the effects to take hold!"
Even the latest level of medicine in the apocalypse takes more than 3 hours to take effect, so why does Kongsang have such advanced medicine?
If she hadn't been certain that Kong Sang had died before the apocalypse began, she would have suspected that he had also returned from the apocalypse and developed an even more powerful gene drug!
Kong Sang sat down to the side and played a game on his phone, pouting and saying, "You're making a fuss over nothing. You're also a member of the Nie family, can't you stop being so dramatic?"
Yu Wei's almond-shaped eyes deepened: "Yes, I'm also a member of the Nie family... Kongsang, I'm quite curious about Dad's base, can I go see it?"
Kong Sang raised his eyes and said meaningfully, "Want to go to the base? You can't. I don't mean to mock you, but even Nie Yan can't get in."
“If he hadn’t broken his leg last time and Dad hadn’t wanted to help him recover, he would never have been allowed to go in. That’s not a good place. My older brother and I both wanted to avoid it. You, on the other hand, are very curious.”
Si Yu raised an eyebrow: "Why were you and Nie Jingxing allowed to get in?"
Kong Sang lowered his eyes and continued playing the game, saying vaguely, "Oh, maybe we're just unlucky!"
The three exchanged a glance, and refrained from pressing further; that would seem rather deliberate...
Xu Lin was still fast asleep. Kong Sang, who had been playing on her phone for a while, couldn't take it anymore. Her head was spinning. She suffered from insomnia at night, which made it easy for her to lack energy during the day.
The space next to her sank in, and a familiar arm wrapped around her waist: "Sleep for a while. I'll watch over him. Call me if there's any problem."
After glancing at Lin Changli, Kong Sang naturally lay down, resting her head on Lin Changli's lap, and curled up into a ball to fall asleep.
Lin Changli's arm naturally half-encircled the small bundle, he chuckled softly, and held Kong Sang's soft little hand to play with it.
Si Yu's teeth ached from looking at it. He deeply regretted his lack of foresight. If he had gone over there just now, he would be the one with the beauty in his arms.
