Chapter 62
Six months ago, Chengnan was no longer a barren suburb. Due to the rapid development of Chen Xi’s studio, it had become the headquarters of Huayao Group. Six months ago, Chen Xi, the chairman of Huayao Group, bought this piece of land to be Huayao’s Jing City factory and R&D base.
To repay Fu Qingyun for her support, Chen Xi expanded Fu Qingyun’s laboratory and gave her permanent usage rights. For a year, few outsiders came here, only Smith and his two students, Andy and Louise.
Fu Qingyun’s potion formula was complete, and all that was left was the final experimental comparison. To ensure her mother’s safety, Fu Qingyun decided to test it on herself first. After all, there was no other human with 95% brain development to do this experiment.
Fu Qingyun came to the lab today because Smith had messaged her that the regeneration had been successful. Fu Qingyun admired Smith very much. He had managed to achieve such an amazing feat under such rudimentary conditions.
“Yun! Come and see!” Smith said excitedly. In front of him were a few lively white mice, jumping around in a small isolation chamber. “It’s unbelievable. These little guys were missing limbs two days ago, and today they can jump around.”
Fu Qingyun walked over, picked up the potion next to Smith, and used her brain to analyze it. This potion was not much worse than the one she had developed. Even 12138 in her brain was surprised. [This foreign professor has some skills. He actually made it. The purity isn’t as high as yours, boss, but the structure is more stable.]
“Professor, this is truly amazing,” Fu Qingyun said, not holding back her praise.
Smith sighed and took off his rubber gloves. “Everything that’s happening here feels like a dream. Yun, thank you for letting me have this beautiful dream.”
“Teacher, this isn’t a dream,” Andy said, sniffing. He would never forget how tirelessly his teacher had worked during this time.
Smith waved his hand and said to Fu Qingyun with some fatigue, “Let’s talk in the lounge.”
Fu Qingyun could tell that Smith was not in a good state. It was a sign of overwork. She stepped forward to support him. The two of them changed out of their isolation suits and sat down in the lounge.
“Professor, I know what you want to say.” Fu Qingyun spoke first. Smith had been in China for a full year. Not to mention his family, this research had exhausted him mentally while also making him successful.
Smith nodded. “Can I take the regeneration with me?”
Fu Qingyun paused, then said after a moment of thought, “Professor, the regeneration belongs to you and also to China.”
Smith understood her meaning. It meant that the patent would be published in China. Smith didn’t feel there was anything wrong with this. “The concept and foundation of regeneration were proposed by you. It was also created on this land. Regardless of which country or person it belongs to, I hope it can help more people.”
“It will, Professor.” Fu Qingyun never thought of herself as a saint, nor did she ever think that her research would help more people. In that world, her country was not strong, and she armed it with knowledge. Now, in this year, China’s development was second to none in the world.
It no longer needed those false weapons to adorn itself. Fu Qingyun thanked Smith again. “Before you return to your country, I promise that all of China will be grateful for your contributions.”
Smith shook his head. “It’s not as exaggerated as you say. I just did what I should have done.”
“Can I take some of the potion with me today?” Fu Qingyun asked.
“Of course. This is also your research.”
Fu Qingyun didn’t linger for long. Fu Chenlan’s phone call came in. “Excuse me.”
Smith waved his hand, signaling that he didn’t mind. Fu Qingyun walked out to answer the call. Fu Chenlan seemed to be in a hurry and urgently called Fu Qingyun back. Fu Qingyun had nothing else to do, so she quickly said goodbye to Smith and left.
Louis looked at Fu Qingyun’s hasty departure. Although this person rarely came here, she would stay for at least half a day whenever she did. Louise suspiciously pushed open the lounge door and asked Smith.
“Why did she leave in such a hurry?”
Smith looked at Louise’s pretty little face, his expression terribly grim. “Louise, we will be returning home soon.”
The smile on Louise’s face instantly froze. She almost blurted out, “I’m not going back!”
“You are the princess of the Country Y, a royal daughter. You can have countless lovers, but not Fu Qingyun.”
“Why?” Louise questioned.
“Because you’ve fallen in love with her.” Smith didn’t hold back and exposed Louise’s feelings. He looked at her with a serious expression. “Henry instructed me to keep a close eye on you. Your father, the king, will allow you to marry a beautiful female Alpha duke, but he won’t allow her to have been married before. And he won’t allow you to truly love her. Fu Qingyun is too smart to be a duke.”
Louise lowered her head and said stubbornly, “Why do you say I’ve fallen in love with her?”
“Your eyes don’t lie, Louise. Every time Fu Qingyun comes here, every time she talks about biology, the way you look at her is like a naive little deer.”
Louise let go of her tightly bitten lip and took a long breath. “Give me some time. I’ll forget about her.”
“You don’t have much time. We have to go back at most in three months, when the patent application in China is approved.” Smith didn’t intend to discuss it with her. He was even angry at her behavior and left in a huff.
Louise held her restlessly beating heart. She thought about the TV show she had watched this morning. Fu Qingyun and Su Ziqin were so sweet together. As a princess of the Country Y, she was born noble, but for the first time, she felt a sense of helplessness. She was so jealous of that beautiful Eastern Omega who could have Fu Qingyun’s love.
The late autumn wind took away the few remaining yellow leaves from the two rows of green plants in the villa area, leaving only lonely branches swaying in the wind. Winter was cold, but Su Ziqin loved it. Fu Qingyun would order more charcoal for the villa before winter arrived. She had done the same last year. A well-lit fireplace made the room very warm.
Since an open flame was risky, Fu Qingyun had a larger wall heater installed next to the public heating system this year. When Fu Qingyun returned home, she saw that a cold front was about to hit Jing City. She told 12138 to turn on the heat so Su Ziqin wouldn’t get cold.
Fu Qingyun took the potion and walked into the basement. “Activate the cold core device.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the pitch-black basement instantly became bright. Eight shadowless lamps lit up the entire basement. If anyone saw the basement now, they would be too shocked to speak. This was a scene you would only see in a sci-fi movie.
An intelligent mechanical arm opened a capsule door. Another mechanical arm opened the freezer, removed a row of blue potions from inside, and installed them around the capsule.
“Bigshot, the potions have been installed. I suggest you call your mom and have her come over.” 12138 was worried. Before Fu Qingyun injected the potion, she would simulate a disintegration state, and this process was very dangerous. “I even suggest that you have the little villain come over. Her pheromones can stabilize your body.”
Fu Qingyun comforted it. “Don’t worry, 12138. This is just a simulation. I’ll be fine.”
“You should have at least called your mom beforehand.” Gu Qingli appeared at the basement door at some point. For Gu Qingli, cracking the password was too easy.
“Mom,” Fu Qingyun said.
Gu Qingli gave her a slightly angry look and said to 12138’s hologram, “Show me the experimental data and ingredients.”
“Okay, Bigshot Mom.” 12138 turned halfway. Countless data strings came out of the sphere like threads. Gu Qingli quickly read the data and calmly analyzed it. “You don’t need to do the experiment yourself. This potion can be used directly.”
“But what if…” Fu Qingyun was not at ease. “I don’t want Mom to take any risks.”
Gu Qingli glared at her coldly. “So you think I would let you take a risk? Reduce the dosage and have Lanlan come over.”
“But…”
Gu Qingli said in an exasperated tone, “You’re so wishy-washy, child. 12138, call Fu Chenlan.”
“Oh, okay,” 12138 said, accepting the command reluctantly. There was nothing it could do. Boss Mom had the highest status in this family.
Fu Chenlan was already on her way. When she received Gu Qingli’s call, she rushed there without stopping, almost getting a ticket from a traffic camera.
“You’re such a foolish child,” Fu Chenlan said as she entered the basement, rolling up her sleeves and grabbing Fu Qingyun by the back of her neck. She was just like a mother scolding her child.
Fu Qingyun sighed helplessly. “Mother, I’m a grown-up now.”
“I see you’re still a pup! You dare to do such a risky thing? You will disintegrate, but your mom won’t.” Fu Chenlan said angrily.
Fu Qingyun scratched her head and avoided looking into Fu Chenlan’s eyes. She knew that Gu Qingli was much more stable than herself. This was because Gu Qingli’s brain had developed after her differentiation, and Fu Chenlan had always been with her. Besides her heart, her body was very stable.
Fu Chenlan looked at the row of potions in the capsule. “You silly pup, you’re wearing yourself out like an old ox. So many of them.”
“Who are you calling an old ox?” Gu Qingli raised an eyebrow at Fu Chenlan. “Who are you calling a silly pup?”
Fu Chenlan’s momentum instantly deflated. She scurried over to Gu Qingli. “Honey, I was talking about myself.”
“Stop fooling around. Let our daughter go out. You stay and release your pheromones to help me stabilize.”
Fu Qingyun was about to say something, but Fu Chenlan didn’t give her a chance. She grabbed Fu Qingyun by the back of her neck and threw her into the living room. The basement door slammed shut.
Fu Qingyun tidied up her wrinkled shirt collar and instructed 12138, [Keep a close eye on Mom. Tell me immediately if anything goes wrong.]
[Okay, bigshot.]
Time passed slowly. The sound of the door opening rang out. Fu Qingyun nervously stood up and saw that it was Su Ziqin.
“Why do you look like that when you see me?” Su Ziqin saw a flash of disappointment in Fu Qingyun’s eyes.
Fu Qingyun suppressed her worry and shook her head bitterly. “Mom is in the basement injecting a potion, and Mother is with her.”
Su Ziqin’s eyes darkened when she heard this. She walked over to Fu Qingyun, sat down, and took her hand. “Mom will be fine. You’ve worked so hard for a long time, haven’t you?”
For the past year, Fu Qingyun had been in the basement all night. Su Ziqin was curious, but she never went down to the basement to disturb her. Fu Qingyun sighed. “Maybe I should have let Mom use Smith’s potion. His is more stable.”
“Being so indecisive isn’t like you.” Su Ziqin squeezed Fu Qingyun’s hand. “You should have faith in Mom.” Su Ziqin didn’t know about the brain development, but she knew that her Alpha was very smart and powerful. The things she had researched could cure their Omega mother.
Perhaps Su Ziqin’s words gave Fu Qingyun some strength. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a pop, and the villa was plunged into darkness.
“The power’s out,” Su Ziqin said.
“Oh no!” Fu Qingyun stood up. The power outage would stop the equipment from working. Mom was in danger!
