Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss Chapter 1780 - 1780 Settle Things

Chapter 1780 - 1780 Settle Things

1780 Settle Things
Mirage Base had always been researching DNA modification, but there were no successful cases.
Even on Cloud Realm, no such news could be found.
Now, Aunt Tong confirmed that the boy was a successful case of DNA modification.
No wonder!!!
Shangguan Yun was always in tip-top health ever since he was a kid. Also, he was immune to poison and had a high recovery rate.
After drawing his blood for Huo Jinfeng, he only needed a day before he recovered completely and went back to his normal energetic self.
Huo Yao contemplated for some time before she finally asked. “Is this the reason you refused to let him out of the clan all these years?”
“You can say so.” Shangguan Tong nodded.
“Why didn’t news about this get out all this while?” asked Huo Yao quizzically.
If this experiment had succeeded, considering Mirage Base’s usual style, they would have already announced it to the world. Why would they still remain in the research stage?
“When I took the boy back in the day, I managed to destroy all their files.” Shangguan Tong spoke in a cold tone. “To this day, they don’t know that they succeeded.”
Huo Yao looked at Aunt Tong and paused briefly. “Over a decade ago, a major incident happened at Mirage Base. Was that you?”
“Probably,” acknowledged Shangguan Tong softly. She did not mention how she nearly died at the base.
Even though Mirage Base’s defense system meant nothing to her, she was also a human, so it was impossible for her to completely escape those lethal weapons.
Fortunately, she managed to survive and take Shangguan Yun out of the base.
Shangguan Tong’s mind stopped drifting. She said in a firm tone, “Yu, please help me take good care of him. I owe him that much.”
Huo Yao asked quizzically. “Owe?”
Shangguan Tong smiled sadly, shaking her head. “Everyone has selfish motives.”
If she had no special reason, why would she help save an infant?
Just for this alone, she had done injustice to the kid.
Huo Yao contemplated briefly. She had an inkling about the reason Shangguan Tong saved Shangguan Yun, so she did not continue asking. “Uh huh. I will.”
“Thank you.”
Huo Yao smiled and simply said, “He’s my little brother.”
It was only natural for her to protect him.
Shangguan Tong looked at the young woman in front of her. She was not as incisive as before. It seemed as though she had tempered herself into smooth jade. Now, she was warm and gentle.
From the looks of it, she was doing well now.
“Aunt Tong, when do you plan on going back?” Huo Yao changed the subject.
Shangguan Tong gathered her thoughts. “I’ll go back after settling a few things.”
She came out to say goodbye to Huo Jinfeng and to settle a few things.
Huo Yao could faintly sense that Aunt Tong was ready to die. She went quiet briefly and said, “If you need my help, just tell me.”
“I’m good. Just some personal matters.” Shangguan Tong turned down the offer.
Huo Yao simply nodded. “Okay then. You can call me anytime.”
“Okay.”
**
The two of them sat in the café for over an hour before Shangguan Tong left.
Huo Yao stood at the door. She could sense her heart feeling a little heavy watching the cab drive off.
A black car stopped by the roadside and pulled up in front of her.
A man got out of the car and walked toward her.
“Did I get here late?” Min Yu stood in front of Huo Yao. When he detected something amiss with her mood, he promptly held her hand and asked. “What’s wrong?”
Huo Yao lowered her eyes. She looked at Min Yu shaking her head. “Nothing. My elder has already left.”
She paused and continued. “Oh yes. I might need you to help me with something.”
