After hanging up the phone, Tang Xili couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up.
The stars outside gradually faded and the sky was about to brighten. She casually put on her sportswear and went out for a run.
When I came back from running, the morning light was dim and it was already six o'clock.
Newly hired stylists Lola and Tangtang prepared outfits for her.
After showering and getting dressed, a secret guard came to report, "Master, Professor Hilgard has made a breakthrough and asked us to bring Miss Wen Ning over..."
Tang Xili's eyes lit up and she immediately took Wen Ning to the sixth floor.
Wen Ning has a rare congenital genetic defect and will not live beyond the age of 20. Over the years, she has visited famous doctors around the world, but they could only help her live three years longer at most.
Now there is only one year left.
So when he heard from Xiao Jiang that day that Professor Hilgard had made great achievements in DNA research, he thought of finding a laboratory.
This is also the reason why after finding Goldman Sachs, she went to Yangon to interrogate Goldman Sachs without stopping.
This was also the reason why she kept Professor Hilgard alive and brought her to Penang.
One of the reasons is that she wants to know the secret of Max's laboratory, but most importantly, she wants to save Wen Ning.
"Sister, please walk slower. I can't catch up with you..."
Wen Ning held onto the wall. His physical condition was worse than before. After taking a few steps, he could no longer walk.
Tang Xili turned back, picked up Wen Ning and carried him horizontally, walked through the long corridor, and entered the biological laboratory in the deepest part of the sixth floor.
Seeing her coming, Professor Hilgard happily showed her a small bottle of transparent potion.
"This is a special drug I found among hundreds of marine species that can inhibit her cell failure. I tested it on drone ants, luna moths, and mayflies. These drugs helped break their life cycles, extending their lifespans for varying lengths of time."
Tang Xili frowned when she heard this. "So, these haven't been tested on mammals yet."
Hilgard pointed at a group of mice, rabbits, and goats not far away. "These are nearing the end of their life cycle. I've already used a potion on them. Come and see..."
She led Tang Xili to a computer and said, "Look, these are Wen Ning's cells. I injected them with a drug, and the aging process is slowing down."
Looking at the computer screen, Tang Xili's brows furrowed even deeper. "Is this the breakthrough you mentioned? Just a slowdown?"
Hilgard was surprised. "Isn't it a breakthrough to find a way to prolong her life in such a short time?"
"Evelyn, do you think genetic defects are so easy to cure?"
"There's currently no cure for this congenital defect, unless the DNA is re-edited..."
After saying that, he looked at Tang Xili with that crazy and passionate look.
"Evelyn, give me your blood. You are the most perfect clone. Perhaps I can find a way to completely cure her from your blood?"
Tang Xili's eyes turned fierce, "Didn't I tell you, I'm not a clone."
Hilgard was completely oblivious and gave a perfunctory smile, "Okay, okay, you're not, can you give me your blood?"
"No." Tang Xili refused.
She knew what Hilgard was going to do, she wanted to test her blood and check her DNA sequence to see if she was a clone.
Hilgard refused to give up, "Evelyn, just a little of your blood will do."
Tang Xili's eyes turned cold. Thinking of something, she took a step back and said, "It's not impossible to give it to you. When you develop a special medicine to treat Wen Ning, I will give it to you."
After hearing this, Hilgard nodded as if he had been injected with chicken blood. "Okay, it's a deal."
"It's a deal."
After the agreement was made, Tang Xili asked again, "When can you use this extension potion on her? She can't wait that long."
Hilgard was confident. "Give me another two months. I need to test the stability of the potion repeatedly."
Tang Xili also knew that this kind of biological experiment could not be completed overnight, and she could wait for two months.
"Well, hurry up."
"Wen Ning, leave in a moment and draw some more blood."
Wen Ning was left in the laboratory, and Tang Xili went downstairs in a good mood to prepare for breakfast.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the dining room on the first floor, I saw Yong Zhixu.
The man was wearing a black windbreaker, with handsome features, sitting at the dinner table, looking tired.
Next to him was a bunch of Austin-shaped Juliet roses wrapped in white paper.
Tang Xili was a little surprised, "When did you come?"
"Three minutes ago."
After Yong Zhixu completed his mission that day, in order to avoid being noticed by Elvis, he waited until Zhou Zhou's operation was completed before returning to China. In total, the two had not seen each other for five days.
The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Lin Suiying's son assigned him a task, asking him to pick up Tangxi Pear.
He also said that if he couldn't pick up his girlfriend, he wouldn't have to go home.
Look, Yong Zhixu set off at three in the morning and arrived here at dawn.
"Did you miss me?" The man naturally held the girl on his lap and held her in his arms.
Tang Xili put her arms around his neck, leaned over to his ear, and said teasingly, "No."
"You have no conscience." Yong Zhixu pinched her cheek, "I miss you so much."
"Eh~" Claire, who was about to have breakfast, just happened to hear this and couldn't help but shudder. She whispered, "Young couples nowadays are so corny..."
Tang Xili glanced at her and said, "I don't know who it is, playing guitar and singing love songs in front of Xie Dong's house in the middle of the night. I love you, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice..."
"Hahahaha, geese, geese, geese..." Bella and Alana, who were hiding in the dark and peeking, laughed like geese.
Claire's mouth twitched, she picked up the meal and left without saying a word.
I really want to live on another planet.
The others walked across the dining room, laughing and joking, to the kitchen to get their meals, and then went to the secondary dining room to eat.
Since Mr. Yong is here, they won’t disturb his private time.
After everyone left, Tang Xili looked up and kissed the man on the lips, "Why did you come here suddenly?"
"I'm here to pick you up." Yong Zhixu played with her hands, his eyes filled with a gentle smile. "Minister Lin has ordered that if I can't pick you up, I'll have to sleep on the streets during the Spring Festival."
"Is it so serious?" Tang Xili was amused by him.
Yong Zhixu lifted her small chin, lowered his head and kissed her lips, "Ms. Evelin, are you ready to go home with me?"
Meeting his expectant gaze, Tang Xili's smile disappeared and her expression became serious. "I'm sorry, I can't go with you to meet your family."
Yong Zhixu was startled, the smile and expectation in his eyes disappeared completely, and he was quite puzzled.
"Yangyang, why? Didn't we agree on this?"
"Yes, we did agree on this before." Tang Xili stared at him, "But that was before, and now is now. They are two different things."
