“That factor certainly exists,” Fu Muqian said, stroking his chin. “Fuyun Island is not controlled by any international organization and is not related to this. But what is He Wu doing on Fuyun Island? Could it be that he has a health problem?”
"Are there any other young masters from prominent families in the capital who are known as 'Number Two'?" Xie Yunyu suddenly asked.
She already knew quite a lot, and later, through Shen Juanqing, she came into contact with this circle and learned even more.
“The deceased ninth young master of the Gai family and the eleventh young master of the Qin family,” Gu Nanyan said lazily, his phoenix eyes full of nonchalance, “and there are also young masters from some smaller families, nearly ten in total.”
These are all number two.
Their families all chose to abandon the child they had raised for eight years and opt for a more outstanding, almost robotic, second child.
“The eleventh young master of the Qin family has not been acting strangely lately. Even though it is the New Year, he has been going to clubs and bars quite often.” Lu Ming walked over with his arm around Ye Lin’s waist.
After learning about these things, they paid extra attention to those "number twos".
Although Lu Ming may seem to have little power in the capital, he is actually very knowledgeable about intelligence.
"It's strange, though, that these 'number twos' are all incredibly energetic," Fu Muqian remarked casually. It wasn't just the "number twos" of these prominent families in Beijing who often stayed out all night, residing in their clubs; many prominent families around the world were the same.
Moreover, it does not distinguish between men and women.
Xie Yunyu, standing next to Shen Juanqing, trembled slightly before calmly saying, "Because the medicine that Number Two was injected with since childhood contains some... estrus-inducing components."
"What!" Shen Bei'an's eyes narrowed.
“The ‘Embryo Project’ is actually similar to human cloning, except that the barrier of cloning technology has never been broken through the time limit. Arnor tried to clone humans in his early years, but he was never able to exceed the three-year limit. Later, by chance, a drug was added, and combined with GM44, it can guarantee survival to the age of thirty.”
"And that drug is also one of the raw materials for aphrodisiacs, which is why every 'number two' has an extremely strong sex drive."
"What Young Master Xie says is true."
After Feng You found this information, they stole it from the Medical Alliance. To put it simply, after several deceased test subjects, Zi Ya, Jing Mo, Zhou Zhi, and others worked day and night to finally understand the drugs used by the Medical Alliance.
Zi Yajingmo's voice was cold. "I guess these aristocratic families are aware of these drawbacks. Therefore, the young masters who participated in 'Embryo No. 2' are basically from the direct line of their families, but they are not heirs. There are very few like He Wu, who is the second son of the eldest branch of the family's direct line."
In a prominent family, the direct line and the eldest son are naturally the most important.
Among them, the eldest son/daughter of the legitimate wife is the most valued, followed by the second son/daughter of the legitimate wife.
I don't know what the He family was thinking, using their second son as a guinea pig!
"Is He Wu the son of the He family patriarch?" Mei Lanting suddenly asked. It was unlikely to be the second son of the legitimate wife. What if he was an illegitimate child?
He Wu's methods are not bad, perhaps because he is number two, his abilities far surpass those of the eldest son of the He family.
Fu Muqian frowned, recalling the He family, "Which family's young master is the head of the He family again?"
“The young master of the Zhu family, the elders of Fuyun Island.” Shen Juanqing’s eyes flickered slightly. “The Zhu family has a daughter who is Ning Xiao’s wife.”
It's perfectly normal for prominent families to arrange marriages.
The six degrees of separation are probably most suitable for use by aristocratic families.
“Since it’s a marriage alliance between noble families, it’s probably normal to have an illegitimate child, bleed a little, and register the child under the lord’s name,” Hua Yueli said.
Hua Yueli's words were harsh, but they were true.
Marriages between prominent families are based on mutual benefit, not love.
Once an heir is identified, the remaining children—whether illegitimate or exceptionally capable—can be compensated by the other party. Who would care?
Upon hearing Hua Yueli's words, Shen Bei'an couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zhou Zhi, whose face remained expressionless.
Unable to resist, she tugged at Gu Nanyan's sleeve. Gu Nanyan returned a slight smile, "Let's talk while sitting down. Aren't you tired of standing?"
He raised his chin.
Everyone put down their paper lanterns and sat on the soft sofa.
"First, find all these people in the capital and try replacing them with GM44." Hua Yueli pulled Zhou Zhi to sit on her lap, resting her chin on Zhou Zhi's shoulder. Her pupils were like a turbulent sea, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, exuding an extreme charm and danger!
Hua Yueli's seemingly calm words carried a deadly bloodlust!
Han Lianxian was not number two; he was also tortured to death because he failed to take GM44 in time.
For these Number Twos, GM44 is a drug they take every day. This move is practically pushing them off a cliff.
"Do you want to kill all of Number Two?" Gu Nanyan raised his eyes, his tone as calm as a lake, one hand supporting his lower abdomen, the other holding Shen Bei'an's hand to comfort him.
They had seen Hua Yueli like this many times before.
But their partners rarely see them.
Especially Ye Lin and Shen Beian…
As soon as Hua Yueli spoke, Ye Lin tensed up, gripping Lu Ming's hand tightly. If Lu Ming hadn't pulled her into his arms to comfort her, she probably would have stood up by now.
Shen Bei'an was no better; he treated human life like dirt!
This was something he simply could not tolerate.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with hostility, Hua Yueli waved her hands repeatedly, "How could that be? I'm a good young man, how could I have such evil thoughts? Although they are 'number two,' I don't know if they can be considered human, but for now, they are still human."
Her voice softened, but her upturned lips and upturned eyes made it impossible to tell that she had just been talking nonsense.
"Wouldn't it be better to just replace the GM44 with the IM15 that Boss Zhou and Ice Face have newly developed?"
IM15, short for Improved genes15, is translated as Improved genes 15.
It was something that Ziya Jingmo developed for Xie Yunyu to suppress the drugs in her body.
It achieves the same result as GM44, and its effects are even stronger than GM44. However, the process of taking it is more painful, but this is not a problem if you have a second-generation or higher cell repair device.
The first-generation cell repair device can only repair simple superficial wounds, and the repair process is painful.
The second generation will not feel pain; it will just feel like they've taken a nap.
"Will IM15 work against 'Number Two'?" Fu Muqian asked this crucial question.
They naturally wouldn't conduct human experiments, and they didn't have any "Number Two" around them. As a result, they had no idea whether the IM15 would have any effect on "Number Two".
If it has no effect, then it's equivalent to...!
"How do you know it's useless?" Hua Yueli smiled crookedly at Fu Muqian, her expression utterly wicked.
Suddenly, a teacup swept through the air and flew straight towards Hua Yueli!
Shen Bei'an and Ye Lin narrowed their eyes.
Hua Yueli reached out and grasped the teacup. "I was wrong." Her eyebrows curved into a smile. "Let's talk in the greenhouse." She looked at the person who threw the teacup—Gu Nanyan.

The Embryo No. 2 potion in the middle is just something made up, a personal creation. Please don't take it seriously!
