The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

When the little girl was kidnapped, she was injected with a semi-finished gene-suppressing drug by those ruthless people in Country F.

The medicine had long since seeped into her bloodstream, like a lurking hidden danger. As she grew older, the side effects of the medicine became increasingly severe.

Each injury stimulates the drug's activity, exacerbating the attack.

Just like this time, Shen Zhi only had a bleeding finger, but she had a fever for five whole days before it subsided.

Until an antidote is developed, the Li family can only protect Shen Zhi as much as possible, keeping her from getting sick or injured.

Li Miao strictly limited her diet, also because he was afraid that spicy and stimulating foods would aggravate her physical burden.

But I don't restrict her from using her phone.

Shen Zhi sent Shen Linchuan a photo of her injury 48 hours ago.

There's been absolutely no word from the other side.

Already feeling down due to injury and high fever, her spirits plummeted to rock bottom.

She puffed out her cheeks and muttered a complaint to the screen:

"What's wrong... what are you doing so busy!"

"So, distance really does cause feelings to fade!"

Shen Zhi angrily typed a long string of accusations into the input box, hovered her fingertip over the send button, hesitated for a long time, and finally deleted them one by one.

"Hmph! If you don't contact me, I won't contact you either! But when you do contact me, I won't just give you the time of day!"

Shen Zhi turned off her phone, covered herself with the blanket, and went to sleep!

She's been sleeping more lately, probably because of her injury.

at the same time.

Inside a classified research institute in Country F.

The moment Shen Linchuan stepped into the research institute, all his electronic devices were taken away and locked in a special safe, completely cutting him off from all contact with the outside world.

He had been in F country for a month, and immediately threw himself into core experiments upon landing, without even having time to send a message to his family to let them know he was safe.

He was involved in a top-secret project that deeply integrates physics and medicine: the development of a targeted gene repair device.

By using quantum physics-based particle precision control technology combined with the principles of medical gene editing, damaged and abnormal genes in the human body can be repaired, which can be used to treat a variety of rare genetic diseases and gene defect diseases.

This research has been ongoing for nearly ten years. It is rumored that seven years ago, two core researchers achieved key preliminary results, but for some reason, the project suddenly stalled and has not progressed at all since.

After receiving the so-called research results, Shen Linchuan repeatedly verified them for a whole month, and finally confirmed that the results were wrong.

If we continue to proceed according to this data, not only will we fail to develop a repair device, but it will also cause the experimental subjects' gene chains to break, resulting in irreversible damage. Everyone will just be going around in circles in the wrong direction.

It was already 3 a.m. when the experimental results were obtained. Shen Linchuan rubbed his throbbing temples and decided to rest for the time being, and then formally report the discovery to the research institute the next morning.

While tidying up the experimental equipment, the star pendant that Shen Zhi had given him accidentally rolled under the table.

A very faint "click" sound was heard. After Shen Linchuan picked up the pendant from under the table, he looked up and saw the hidden door that had been inadvertently opened in front of him.

The man's pupils contracted slightly.

As if guided by some force, Shen Linchuan pushed open the door and entered the hidden door.

The narrow, dark passage was completely dark except for a halo directly in front of him, from which the faint strains of an old love song could be heard. Shen Linchuan had no choice but to walk in.

The person inside seemed to have heard the footsteps as well. The humming paused, and when it resumed, the tone became casual and indifferent.

"Why are you here again? I've already told you, this is the result of our research. If you're not capable, there's nothing I can do."

His laziness was tinged with arrogance, and he made no attempt to hide his disdain.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Linchuan immediately guessed that the person inside was the researcher who had produced this erroneous result seven years ago.

He didn't waste time with pleasantries and went straight to the point, stating his confident conclusion:

"This result is wrong."

Upon hearing this, the man calmly raised his eyes and looked at the person at the door.

If Shen Linchuan wasn't mistaken, a murderous intent lurked in his calm eyes.

"A dish is a dish. It's ridiculous to say the results are wrong just because you can't keep up with the progress." Shu Huai continued carving the wooden block in his hand.

On the table in front of him were more than a dozen wooden carvings of various sizes, some depicting the profiles of adult women, others the likeness of infants in swaddling clothes. The outlines of their eyebrows and eyes vaguely revealed that they were the same two people.

Shen Linchuan remained calm and unperturbed, not angered by his arrogance. Instead, he clearly and logically presented his deductions, each word hitting the nail on the head.

"Senior, the results you provided gave people a false illusion of feasibility. The people at the research institute were deceived by you for seven years."

At this moment, Shu Huai's indifference completely disappeared. He put down the carving knife in his hand and intentionally or unintentionally twirled it between his fingertips.

"Are you one of their new hires?"

Shen Linchuan remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Shu Huai stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible approval:

"They've finally found a smart person."

Because Shu Huai hadn't been exposed to the sun for years, his skin was almost transparently white, without a trace of color.

He slowly stood up and approached Shen Linchuan step by step, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

As he got closer, Shen Linchuan noticed the dimples on the man's lips.

The shape and location look very familiar.

In the instant that Shen Linchuan was stunned, a cold light suddenly flashed.

With a flick of his wrist, Shu Huai pressed the sharp carving knife against Shen Linchuan's carotid artery.

The cold blade pressed against the skin, and with a little pressure, it drew a thin line of blood.

"If I use a little more force, your blood will gush out, kid." Shu Huai's voice was low and cold. Although he smiled, there was no warmth in his eyes. "This is not a conclusion you should draw. If you know what's good for you, shut your mouth and leave this place."

Perhaps it was because the other person's manner of speaking was too similar to Shen Zhi's that even Shen Linchuan felt like he was going crazy.

Is he missing Zhizhi too much?

That's why she felt that the madman in front of her resembled her.

Shen Linchuan rolled his eyes, and Shu Huai noticed his movement, letting out a disdainful sneer.

"Stop looking. I've modified all the surveillance cameras here. The monitoring room can only see what I want them to see."

Shen Linchuan frowned slightly; his doubts outweighed his fear.

"What is your purpose? This achievement can save many people."

This is a key research project in Country F. Once the machine is successfully developed, it will be able to treat many special diseases.

Upon hearing his words, Shu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, he burst into unrestrained laughter.

This undisguised mockery made Shen Linchuan increasingly uncomfortable.

"How old are you?"

"15."

Now it was Shu Huai's turn to be shocked. Zhu composed himself and his gaze on Shen Linchuan became more serious.

The little boy in front of me was tall and upright. Although his eyes and brows still showed some immaturity, his composure and meticulousness far surpassed those of his peers.

He originally thought that the person selected by the research institute to take over this core experiment would at least be a graduate student from a prestigious university, but he never expected that it would be just a 15-year-old boy.

"You're not lying about your age to pretend you're younger, are you?"
