Chapter 296: Family
Ye Luan wanted to break free from Jin Yang’s protection and run towards her. He shouted hoarsely, “Auntie Qiu, be careful!”
Jin Yang quickly pulled Ye Luan back. He stared intently at Qiu Tong as she fought with Bo Lang and the rest. “Don’t distract her!”
The modification drug had enhanced the various functions of her body to a terrifying level. She seemed to not feel any pain. Even if a dagger pierced into her arm, she could pull it out without blinking and use it to stab it back into the chest of her attacker.
Qiu Tong’s speed was more than three times that of an ordinary person. She flipped Bo Lang onto the ground and almost crushed him with her strength.
She wrapped the bomb that was tied to Ye Luan’s body around Bo Lang. When she saw the fear in his eyes, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her lips. She picked up the remote control from the ground and ran back to the entrance of the pit.
Qiu Tong hugged Ye Luan and used her body to protect Jin Yang. The moment the three of them jumped into the pit, she pressed the remote control.
The violent explosion caused the building to shake violently a few times, and pungent smoke filled the air.
Shao An and the guards rushed over with tears in their eyes. When they saw Qiu Tong supporting Jin Yang and carrying Ye Luan out of the dust and smoke, they surrounded her excitedly. Qiu Tong leaned weakly against Jin Yang’s shoulder.
She turned around and looked at the collapsed building. She touched the top of Ye Luan’s head and said, “I’ve helped you take revenge.”
Ye Luan shed tears of guilt. Like an AI machine that had short-circuited, she spat out two mouthfuls of blood and swayed as she fell to the ground.
Jin Yang held her in his arms. Qiu Tong lifted her broken wrist with difficulty, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something.
Jin Yang hurriedly moved his ear closer and heard her whisper, “Tell Dad and Qiu Xingyuan…”
“The effective duration of the modification drug is 45 minutes. Your body… will experience soreness and fractures. It cannot be used.”
After that, Qiu Tong lost consciousness.
…
In the villa, Qiu Rong and the children were gathered at the entrance of the surgery room.
The medical staff walked out with a heavy expression. Jin Yang anxiously asked about Qiu Tong’s condition, but the staff didn’t know how to answer.
“Miss Qiu’s vital signs are stable. The superficial wounds caused by the fight are not serious. She will recover in half a month.”
“But her mental state is currently in chaos. She is not reacting to external stimulation. I’ve been a doctor for decades, and I’ve never encountered such a situation, so I can’t make a judgment now. Miss Qiu’s condition is like being in a coma after taking a stimulant poison…”
Poison? Qiu Rong and Jin Yang looked at each other. They knew that it was caused by the modification drug.
When Ye Luan heard their conversation, he clenched his fists and ran to the top terrace. Two of his ribs were broken, and his body was covered in injuries.
Qiu Xingyuan sensed his emotions and followed him here.
Ye Luan turned to look at him and said in a very low voice, “I’m sorry. It’s all because of me that Auntie Qiu became like this.”
“I received that message. If I had discussed it with you guys, this wouldn’t have happened…”
Qiu Xingyuan stood beside him and said with an exceptionally rational and calm expression, “Bo Lang and the members of the terrorist organization wanted revenge. Even if you escape this trap, there will still be a next time. And it might be me or Little Yu.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t be as strong as you.”
Ye Luan looked at Qiu Xingyuan fixedly. He didn’t expect Qiu Xingyuan, who usually looked at him coldly, to say such words.
Qiu Xingyuan seemed to sense his gaze as he turned around and walked towards the laboratory. He said indifferently, “You were in danger. It is natural for us to think of a way to save you. It’s Bo Lang’s fault that Mommy is unconscious, not yours. You don’t have to blame yourself and feel guilty.”
“You… are our brother.”
Ye Luan couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He widened his eyes and took two steps forward. He moved his thin lips, wanting to confirm, but he didn’t dare to speak.
Qiu Xingyuan turned around. He picked up two bottles of chemicals and said seriously, “The most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of the toxins in Mommy’s body and develop a medicine that can wake her up. I need your help. Can you do that?”
Ye Luan was stunned for two seconds before nodding solemnly. He turned up the laboratory’s lights and started to work with him.
At this moment, Ye Luan felt like he had found the warmth of home again. It turned out that Qiu Xingyuan had already accepted him in his heart a long time ago. He was so stupid that he didn’t realize it. When Qiu Rong heard the commotion in the laboratory and saw two young but determined boys bustling about, he joined their efforts.
Jin Yang accompanied Qiu Tong in the room. Seeing her sleeping profile, he said softly, “I know you’re very tired. Have a good sleep.”
Shao An walked in after knocking on the door. He looked at Qiu Tong on the bed and reported softly, “Bo Lang’s remains were found at the scene. His arm and head exploded, and fragments of his body have been found. After testing the DNA, we can confirm that it’s him.”
