NCCnovel Chapter 215 Eleven
Chapter 215 Eleven
Bai Li wasn't the only one with doubts; Wu Hai felt the same way.
“Selfish motives,” “innocent children,” “unsuitable for raising”…
Those vague keywords all seem to point to some secret.
Wuhai wants to investigate.
But after that day, he was taken to live with his grandfather and rarely saw his father.
Even if they manage to meet, the Wu family will keep a close watch on them at all times.
There's simply no way to investigate.
Wu Hai had tried to ask his grandfather about this matter, but he was always brushed off with various reasons and excuses.
It would be incredibly easy for the Wu family to hide certain things.
Even if Wu Hai is exceptionally intelligent, he is only ten years old. With his current abilities, no matter how hard he tries, he cannot access the information that his family has deliberately concealed.
And so, Bai Li, like a silent observer, accompanied Wu Hai through several years of ups and downs.
He may have appeared to have given up the search, but Bai Li knew that he had never truly let go.
The days of fruitless endeavors lasted for a long time, until Wuhai's fifteenth birthday, when a new turning point arrived.
Scenes change rapidly.
A deafening bolt of lightning exploded right next to Bai Li's ear, startling her so much that she trembled.
After regaining her senses, Bai Li realized that she was in the middle of an extremely bad night.
The howling wind swept everything away, and large raindrops pounded the ground. Accompanied by streaks of lightning that ripped through the night sky, the whole world seemed to fall into chaos.
Immediately afterwards, she was dragged into a confined space and saw Wu Hai dressed in black.
Bai Li didn't know if Xiao Hao could hear her at this moment, but she still wanted to say something:
"Xiao Hao, next time just teleport me directly to the key person's side. I don't particularly like jump scares."
These fragments of memory were all carefully extracted and refined by Xiao Hao, and she strongly suspected that Xiao Hao had deliberately scared her just now.
Xiao Hao could indeed hear his own voice.
A defiant child's voice echoed in my mind: "This system does not accept complaints from the host."
good good!
Bai Li was only angry for a moment.
If Xiao Hao were just an ordinary naughty child, she would definitely have to teach him a lesson, but the problem is that he isn't.
—It is the prestigious Godly Tycoon System.
If I drive it away, who will I cry to?
Bai Li suppressed her temper and carefully observed her surroundings.
Despite the thunder and lightning outside, the space was extremely quiet, with only the sound of Wu Hai rummaging through something.
Bai Li guessed that this place must be underground.
And it's located very deep underground.
Otherwise, it would be impossible not to hear any thunder or rain.
It was quiet and very dark.
Only the faint, pale light emitted from the dials of some large instruments barely illuminated some of the surrounding equipment.
Bai Li immediately realized that this was a laboratory...
However, the equipment was too professional, and after observing it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what kind of laboratory it was.
Left with no other choice, she returned to Wu Hai's side and focused her attention on what Wu Hai was searching for.
Wu Hai brought a headlamp.
The light, though not bright, was concentrated enough to create a small area of light in the darkness.
Bai Li could clearly see the contents of the document in his hand; it was filled with dense data and charts.
Sequence numbering, gene proportion diagrams, chromosome alignment...
This is clearly a record of a genetic experiment.
Wu Hai was extremely focused. He quickly scanned the information on the document, and when he saw that it wasn't the one he wanted, he immediately tossed it aside and moved on to the next one.
A thick stack of papers had piled up at his feet, scattered haphazardly, some even trampled underfoot.
Judging from the chaotic scene, it's clear he's been searching for a long time.
Bai Li guessed that he must have sneaked in, otherwise he wouldn't be wearing a tight black night suit, covering himself up completely, without turning on the lights, and blindly searching in the dark like this.
She had nothing else to do for the time being, so she could only quietly stay with Wu Hai, her gaze unconsciously falling on him.
Wuhai at this time is no longer the naive child it once was.
At fifteen, he had grown considerably taller, shedding his former immaturity and gradually revealing the unique spirit of a young man.
Although her figure has not yet fully grown like that of an adult, she already has slender lines.
The tight-fitting night clothes clung perfectly to his body, subtly revealing his well-defined muscles, exuding youthful energy and vitality.
With well-defined features, a high, straight nose, slightly pursed lips, and sharp eyes.
My hair was yellowish when I was a child, but now you can't see any yellow at all.
Its color is jet black, just like the adult version.
However, he doesn't have long hair yet; instead, he has a youthful short haircut that perfectly highlights his outstanding features.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry, his hair was a little messy, with a few strands falling in front of his forehead, but it didn't affect anything at all.
Bai Li silently affirmed in her heart: He is still outstandingly handsome; this "Emperor of Looks" has no "awkward period"!
In fact, at the age of fifteen, Wu Hai already looked very similar to him as an adult.
But if there's any fundamental difference, it's temperament.
As an adult, Wu Hai's temperament became more profound and reserved, making him difficult to fathom. Occasionally, he would reveal a hint of darkness, which explains why Bai Li was always wary of him.
But the fifteen-year-old Wu Hai in front of me looks much more energetic and exudes a dazzling confidence.
After all, he was a prodigy and came from a top-tier wealthy family, so he had every right to be arrogant.
He casually tossed the documents aside until one moment he suddenly stopped.
His eyes were fixed on the document in front of him, his pupils contracted sharply, and he even stopped breathing, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Bai Li immediately flew over and read the text on the document.
The paper was covered with dense writing, but she still managed to find several key points.
"Perfect Genetic Modification Project"
"Detailed information on embryo No. 11..."
"Paternal gene source: Wu Heng"
"Maternal genetic origin: Milan Blaine"
……
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and all sounds around disappeared.
Wu Hai's fingers, which were gripping the document, twitched and trembled uncontrollably.
The document was crumpled, and the words on the paper were trembling.
He opened his mouth as if trying to make a sound, but nothing came out.
Wu Heng is Wu Hai's uncle, who is also the eldest son of the shipping magnate.
Milan Blaine was Wu Hai's second aunt, the wife of the shipping magnate's second son.
Someone actually combined their genes and created an embryo...
No, not just one embryo, but multiple embryos.
Judging from the embryo number, this is just one of them.
11th...
Eleven...
Realizing what was happening, Bai Li's mind went blank for a moment.
