GBT Chapter 115

Chapter 102

On the first day of July, Jiao Bai borrowed a phone from a passerby and called Zhang Zhen. The advantage of habitually memorizing phone numbers was evident here, useful in emergencies.

Jiao Bai and Liang Dong hid in the border area, sometimes eating and sometimes going hungry.

Two days later, the Qi family managed to enter the border and brought Jiao Bai, who was vomiting and suffering from diarrhea, back to West City.

Jiao Bai woke up in his own bed, with a dripping IV drip hanging beside it. His mind was blank for a moment before he contacted the police. He reported the hideout information of the bandits on the phone.

The police said that someone had already provided more detailed information and even drawn a route map before him.

Jiao Bai put the phone aside and fell asleep peacefully.

Zhang Zhen’s legs were both injured, and he couldn’t get out of bed. He was lying in the hospital, and his psychologist had been living in his ward these days, afraid to leave.

“Give me your brother’s medical report,” the psychologist said. “You’ve already looked at it no less than five times.”

Zhang Zhen stubbornly flipped through the papers, the blood vessels in his eyes alarmingly numerous.

The psychologist took off the hair tie from her ponytail and ruffled her hair a few times, finally showing signs of fatigue: “Mr. Zhang, your current condition is very poor. When your brother comes to see you in the hospital, he will definitely worry about you.”

The sound of flipping pages stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterward, the medical report was stuffed under the pillow, and a heavy, throbbing head pressed down on it, protecting it like a treasure.

The ward became quiet. The psychologist sat in a chair reading a book. After a while, she confirmed that Zhang Zhen had really fallen asleep before daring to seize the time to catch up on sleep.

During this time, Qi Huai was responsible for finding Jiao Bai, searching with injuries. The wound on his abdomen kept splitting and getting infected, and he still had to run to the research institute, barely getting any sleep. He was also resting in his office at this moment.

Everyone was very tired.

Fortunately, the difficult and hot June had finally passed.

That’s what Jiao Bai thought too, but the heavens just didn’t want him to be comfortable.

Dean Qi came to find him.

At that time, he was on the phone with Yu Ling, chatting for a while. Everything that needed to be said and asked had already gone through the process.

Yu Ling said in a low voice, “Thank you for saving Xiao Xiang.”

“You’re welcome,” Jiao Bai leaned against the headboard watching a movie. “When are you planning to take Yu Xiang to the sanatorium abroad?”

Yu Ling was silent for a moment: “It’s not that urgent.”

“Has the Cen family let you go?” Jiao Bai turned down the volume of the TV a little.

Yu Ling said, “Maybe.”

“Cen Jingmo has been refusing visitors recently, not participating in any activities, and not addressing any external voices,” Yu Ling added. “That terrorist attack caused the Cen family’s stock price to fall to an unprecedented low.”

Jiao Bai said “Oh”. Tan Jun should let Shen Er An take action. He just didn’t know how Shen Er An’s treatment was progressing.

Shen Er An hadn’t contacted him, and the number couldn’t be reached. Jiao Bai was used to it.

Just like Liang Dong said, Shen Er An was no longer Shen Er An. He was Little Master Shen of the Shen Corporation, his life and soul sold to power.

“Jiao Bai, I…”

Yu Ling was interrupted by Jiao Bai before he could finish speaking, “I have something to do here, let’s talk later, I’m hanging up.”

Jiao Bai ended the call, looking at the uninvited guest who entered without knocking: “Dean Qi, why are you here? Is it my third brother’s side…”

“Not awake.” Dean Qi didn’t sit down, just stood there. She looked down at the thin young man on the bed, her eyes were indescribable.

The alarm bells in Jiao Bai’s heart rang loudly: “Just say what you have to say.”

“Then I’ll just say it.” Dean Qi was wearing invisible contact lenses. Without the obstruction of lenses and frames, her deep features were somewhat similar to Qi Yi Liao.

Jiao Bai had a feeling that he was about to face an old, cheesy, melodramatic scene, Dean Qi would slap a check on his face and leave a sentence “Fill in a number and leave my brother.”

However, what he heard was even older and cheesier than that plot.

Jiao Bai’s back left the headboard: “What did you say?”

He didn’t even use honorifics.

Dean Qi said harshly: “Since you heard it clearly, there is no need to repeat it, let’s all save some time.”

Jiao Bai’s chest felt like he had been hit with a muffled punch. Damn it, this woman actually said she was preparing to use drugs to restore Qi Yi Liao’s normal function, to let him combine with that elf while he was in a coma.

Combine his ass.

What normal function? Qi Yi Liao was normal, just restrained.

“Dean Qi came to personally notify me, to let me know your decision, what do you want me to do?” Jiao Bai’s tone was very bad.

Dean Qi said: “I hope you cooperate.”

“How to cooperate?” Jiao Bai’s lips curled into an arc, revealing two small tiger teeth. “Is it that the research institute doesn’t listen to you, or even if you use the drug, Qi Yi Liao is unwilling to mingle with people, and I have to come forward to do some communication work?”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The skin on Dean Qi’s face was looser than before, her eye bags drooped, and her complexion was not good. She said coldly: “Do you think that you inherited all of my brother’s estate, so you have the position to talk to me?”

Jiao Bai smiled noncommittally, so what?

Dean Qi confronted the young man, she didn’t know what she thought of, a mocking dark light flashed across her eyes, fleeting.

“Yes, I do have a request for you this time,” Dean Qi said.

This woman suddenly changed her strategy, Jiao Bai’s vigilance soared, he didn’t say a word, preparing to deal with the situation as it came.

“Let me tell you about the Qi family,” Dean Qi looked up at the small window on the wall. “The windows in the castle are like this, high in position, small in area, covered with vines, and gloomy all year round.”

“Do you know why it’s designed like this?” She chuckled briefly, “To facilitate the release of humanity.”

“This building only started installing lights when it came into my brother’s hands. All the lights you see are his intention.” Dean Qi said, “Before that, it was dark all year round here. Sometimes when I turned a corner, I could run into a couple.”

Jiao Bai swallowed, no need to say what the men and women were doing.

“At that time, the Qi family did not divide, they all lived here.” Dean Qi squinted her eyes, her pupils seemed to float out a pair of figures, “The Qi family, a prominent family…”

Next, Dean Qi revealed the reason for the Qi family’s thin population.

Jiao Bai guessed the general context.

The Qi family’s ancestors had a hereditary disease. The probability of women being inherited was not as high as that of men. The onset time for men was uncertain. Once they got sick, they would become crazy, accelerating the loss of life.

The closer the blood relationship, the higher the probability of inheritance and the higher the probability of onset.

And the trigger for the onset was the collapse of emotional management.

After the onset, they could only sink to the bottom of all desires, with no possibility of being awake again.

In order to solve this disease, the Qi family established a research institute and conducted various experiments, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, but still could not be eradicated.

When it came to Qi Yi Liao’s father’s generation, he accidentally met Qi Yi Liao’s mother and found that combining with her could suppress the inner tyranny, so he forcibly plundered and married her, asking her to bear him several children.

Qi Yi Liao’s father lived longer than his brothers, living to be over sixty years old.

The family interrogated Qi Yi Liao’s mother, wanting to know where her relatives were, but she said she had no memory of that part.

Hearing this, Jiao Bai frowned. Qi Yi Liao’s mother was the hope of the entire Qi family, how was she interrogated, how long was she interrogated, these things were all imaginable.

“My mother liked original foreign books, she would let my brother hand-copy them, and if he made mistakes, she would teach him with a ruler.” Behind every word of Dean Qi dragged out the wreckage buried by the years. “She hoped that he could learn restraint and not become like his father.”

“Living things all have instincts. Humans are higher animals and have more instincts. Desires are the source of those instincts, everyone has them.” Dean Qi smiled, “The result of long-term suppression is that people are damaged.”

Jiao Bai thought, Qi Yi Liao wasn’t broken, he imprisoned himself.

“The Qi family has been searching for my mother’s clan for generations, like finding a needle in a haystack.” Dean Qi tidied up her slightly longer short hair. “My brother is lucky, he caught up.”

“This year I found a clue. That child who was sent to the research institute last year was from the same village as my mother. People in the village have gene mutations due to water sources. Their voices are special, androgynous. Their blood has a characteristic that can calm the cerebral cortex, which is just right for the Qi family’s genetic disease. It can be said that it was tailor-made for the Qi family,” Dean Qi said.

A line of words seemed to float in front of Jiao Bai: Sentinel and Guide, made in heaven, 100% match.

“Jiao Bai, I’m sure you’re not completely ignorant of what I’m telling you.” Dean Qi crossed her arms. “Heaven has given you a way to live, shouldn’t you let your third brother walk on it?”

Jiao Bai met her mocking and sharp eyes, as if seeing through his selfishness. His hand on the quilt groped slightly, grabbed the phone, his finger hooked on the key chain, the cold metal touch made his sweaty palm tremble.

Damn it, he knew the appearance of the elf was a knife, hanging for so long, it finally fell.

“Then I can’t push him up either,” Jiao Bai heard his own still calm voice, “He doesn’t know anything, and I’m making a choice for him. What is that? When he wakes up, he’ll hate me.”

“He has awareness,” Dean Qi said. “You know it.”

Jiao Bai was speechless.

Dean Qi seemed to have expected his hesitation, her words were sharp, pressing closer step by step: “Touch your conscience, who is he lying in the research institute for now?”

Jiao Bai touched the small key.

“Last year was his routine check-up every two years. Everything was going well, but it was interrupted because you had an accident.” Dean Qi’s emotions were a little out of control. “He woke up on his own!”

The Qi family’s affection was not strong, but this didn’t mean she wanted to see the Qi family heading towards destruction.

This current head of the family hasn’t cultivated a successor yet, how can he fall? Since there is an opportunity to change the status quo, it must be seized.

Jiao Bai had always thought that Qi Yi Liao had woken up early at that time because Zhang Zhen had gone to the research hospital to find him.

He didn’t know…

Jiao Bai lowered his head blankly, woke up on his own? Qi Yi Liao at that time had feelings for him…

“Don’t pretend to be confused,” Dean Qi’s words were mean. “He pours his heart and soul into you. If you have a heart, you should consider him.”

Jiao Bai tugged at the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn’t want to say it. He leaned back against the headboard, his eyes falling on the TV screen.

The movie had just begun, the ending was still far away.

Dean Qi said a lot. Just as her old society’s aristocratic young lady temperament was about to explode, Jiao Bai said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll go to the research institute.”

The room finally became quiet.

Jiao Bai turned off the TV and went to sleep in the quilt. He went to the research institute after dark, without even changing his clothes, just wearing his pajamas, his hair was messy, and his face was still flushed from sleeping.

The avatar of a good friend is connected with the other person’s feelings.

And Qi Yi Liao was aware of the outside world, otherwise he wouldn’t have wanted to leave when he heard his confession, and then been called back by him.

Jiao Bai put on the research institute’s special protective suit and entered the medical cabin alone. He stood in front of the hospital bed, silently looking at Qi Yi Liao.

After a long time, Jiao Bai opened his mask and leaned close to Qi Yi Liao’s ear: “Do you miss me?”

Qi Yi Liao didn’t move.

The cat dropped a tear.

“You miss me.” Jiao Bai smiled, “I miss you too.”

The cat weakly moved its tail.

Jiao Bai stroked Qi Yi Liao through the protective gear on his hand. He felt unsatisfied, so he took off the protective gear and touched him with his hand, before finally patting Qi Yi Liao’s cheek with satisfaction.

“I’m here this time,”

Jiao Bai paused, “Wait a minute, let me prepare myself.”

He had been preparing on the way here, but damn it, still! Was! Jiao Bai took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, at this time his eyes were already red.

“Dean Qi, your sister, she said a plan, a good plan for you.”

Jiao Bai was freezing, his breath was very shaky. He said the second half intermittently, his lips close to Qi Yi Liao’s ear, his eyes staring straight at the blood cat, “Do you want to agree?”
