Chapter 1312

Xia Yingluo shook her head in confusion and whispered, “He always has a way.” Wei Lingnan had a lot of magical powers and could use any means available to avoid the will of the planet. Wasn’t the anti-rejection medication she had been given proof of that?

Xia Moyan said that things were not so simple, but it was a good thing that Xia Yingluo had broken up with Wei Lingnan anyway. Even if there were many doubts, he didn’t plan to say too much. Next, he would investigate this incident alone. This was the responsibility he should have as the guardian of the planet and The Preceptor. It had nothing to do with family.

Wei Lingnan was not without doubts in his heart.

In the underground base, a man in a white shirt stood in a translucent laboratory, looking at all kinds of experimental equipment. No emotion could be seen on his face. Behind him, an old man stood respectfully.

“Why Gu Jinxiu?” He whispered, looking at the experimental vessel that had been emptied in front of him. “I finally made the experimental material and Xia Ling clearly drank it. Why did Xia Yingluo not awaken? Why did she awaken instead?”

The old man knew the moodiness of his master and carefully answered, “Although the medicine given to Mrs. Gu that year included our experimental waste, it didn’t exclude the weak genetic component and could have been awakened at the right time.”

This was the most reasonable explanation.

From the moment Wei Lingnan came to Earth hundreds of years ago, he had been committed to resurrecting Ah Luo. The experiment had been done hundreds of times and there had only been one time it didn’t fail. From those failures, Wei Lingnan constantly summed up his experience and concluded that he could not resurrect Ah Luo with a petri dish, and he had to reincarnate her with the help of a human body. The reincarnation of the experimental body was also extremely unstable. According to human beings, it was a freak, with various defects and diseases, even an idiot, or retarded since birth. The material handed over to Xia Yingluo was the last one, and no mistakes could be made. Therefore, Wei Lingnan, based on past experience, extracted a genetic residue from experimental waste and found a suitable mother—Gu Jinxiu’s mother. He had let her take the residue. Gu Jinxiu, the child she gave birth to, was a backup of Xia Yingluo. If Xia Yingluo was born with any defects or dangers, she could use Gu Jinxiu’s genes and even organs to make up for it.

This was why Wei Lingnan knew Gu Jinxiu many years ago and acquiesced to Gu Jinxiu calling him her fiancee. If there was something wrong with Xia Yingluo’s body, he could easily sacrifice Gu Jinxiu.

However, he didn’t expect that Xia Yingluo, who was supposed to be Ah Luo, had not awakened. Instead, Gu Jinxiu remembered her previous life and called his real name in the Skatana language. At the moment Wei Lingnan heard his real name, all his intellect was burned. If this wasn’t Ah Luo, who else could it be? For centuries, this was the first time that a subject had recalled the past life and made a sound from his hometown.

Even if she was made up of experimental wrecks, who would be sure about the uncertainty in genetic experiments? He had failed so many times before, maybe because his mind had been too fixed. On the contrary, he had inadvertently achieved success through Gu Jinxiu.

It was just... Xia Yingluo was a pity.

The emotions in the light-colored eyes of Wei Lingnan couldn’t be seen, but the girl’s smile still remained in his heart. That day, in the dining room, watching her bleeding from the corners of her mouth had made his heart ache. But so what? They were impossible now, and they could only blame fate for messing with them.

Wei Lingnan forced himself to stop thinking about the girl, closed his eyes slightly, and said to the old man behind him, “Take care of the base. After a few days, I’ll take Ah Luo to visit.”

The Ah Luo in his mouth, of course, referred to Gu Jinxiu.

The old man answered, and asked him cautiously, “What about Miss Xia Yingluo? She knows too much. Since she is not your kind, would she expose everything?”

Wei Lingnan said, “Don’t worry about her.”

The problem now was not that Xia Yingluo knew too much, but that the entire Xia family knew too much. This was no longer a matter of killing Xia Yingluo alone. He could only let it go. However, if they did something that harmed Ah Luo, he would not let her go. He hoped Xia Yingluo was smarter and wouldn’t come to cause trouble for Ah Luo.

Xia Yingluo was injured at home.

Jin Ling’er heard that she was ill, came to see her, and asked, “Why did you suddenly lie in bed? I heard that you had a car accident, what’s the matter?”

She was injured by the sonic shock and it was too unbelievable to share the information with others, so she had declared that it was internal bleeding caused by a car accident that hurt her organs. Even Du Zheng believed it and told Jin Ling’er that.

Xia Yingluo smiled weakly. “I accidentally walked by myself, who else is to blame.” This incident hurt her physically and mentally, but she was more or less comforted by the company of her family and friends.

She looked at Jin Ling’er. “You stopped calling him President Du, why did you start calling him by his name?”

At the mention of this, she got angry and completely forgot to ask Xia Yingluo’s details of the injury. She said indignantly, “Humph, he’s just a dog. I knew from the first meeting that he was not a good person! I called him President Du to give him face before. But in the end? Sure enough, I was right. He’s so serious and rigid I don’t know how he even grew to be so big.”

Xia Yingluo was a little worried. “You quarreled with Brother Du Zheng?”

“It’s impossible to argue with him,” Jin Ling’er said glumly. “But you don’t know how strictly he controls me. All the announcements I’ve received since the last crew incident had to be reviewed by him personally. It’s annoying because he doesn’t allow this nor that. Now there are all kinds of rumors in the company that I have embraced President’s Du’s golden thigh, and I was given the job not because of my skills. But that Du Zheng didn’t give it a second thought, he’s no different from a snow storehouse. If this goes on, I can only drink the northwest wind.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xia Yingluo comforted her. “Brother Du Zheng isn’t such a person, he must have his own plans, and it must be good for you anyway.”

“You know how to help him talk.” Jin Ling’er complained, turning the topic back to Xia Yan. “Look at me, I came to visit you, but instead you’re comforting me instead. When can you get better? Seeing that Chinese New Year is coming, you can’t lie in bed for Chinese New Year and miss so many fun activities at the end of the year.”

Xia Yingluo answered with a smile.

Jin Ling’er asked her again, “Why didn’t I see Wei Lingnan? At this time, as a boyfriend, he should accompany you more.”

Xia Yingluo said, “I broke up with Wei Lingnan.”

Speaking of the man’s name, there was a faint pain in her heart.
