Chapter 121 Le Xiao's Disaster (Part 2)
"Why did you come back so late?"
Le Xiao in the living room was holding her stomach and looking at Jean who had just stepped into the living room. She was already hungry and couldn't stand it anymore. It was 8 o'clock in the evening.
"Why don't you go out and get something to eat?"
"No, I can't bear it anymore. I'd better give this thing back to you."
Le Xiao said and handed the black wallet with the number 13 printed on it directly to Jean. She couldn't bear the pressure, but Jean didn't take it. Instead, he turned around and measured his head.
"Let's go."
As soon as Jean came back, Le Xiao felt much more at ease. She followed Jean quietly like a kitten. She thought about it all day today. What Jean said is the truth. When everyone looks down on you, When the time comes, do you choose to give up on yourself or choose to fight? Even in such a city with a strict and cruel hierarchy, everyone has the right to choose to fight.
"Huh? Uncle, why are you here again?"
Le Xiao looked at the strange, somewhat slovenly old man with glasses and a beard sitting at a table in the shop in surprise.
"What a coincidence, little sister, I remember you said you wanted to treat me to food last time."
Gene behind him looked at Levin and nodded slightly.
"This is Gene."
After sitting down, Le Xiao introduced him immediately, but Le Wen in front of him didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and ordered his food. Le Xiao was a little surprised, but he didn't care much.
After a while, the three of them sat together. After the food was served, they started eating. Le Xiao was still the same as before, wolfing down the food without any restraint at all.
"Sister, could this be your boyfriend?"
Levin said, Gene smiled.
"Stop joking and eat quickly."
Le Xiao looked sideways at Jean. She was a little excited just now, but the atmosphere soon became dull. The uncle opposite was not as happy as last time, and Jean only ate a little and started drinking.
"Drink, little sister, congratulations."
Le Xiao wiped her mouth and looked at the wine in front of her. The uncle across from her looked at him with real eyes. Le Xiao drank it anyway. Within half an hour, Le Xiao fell down with a cheerful smile.
"What did you put in the wine?"
Gene looked at the little wine left in the glass. The color of the wine was a little off, and Lewen pressed his hat.
"This is not the place to talk."
After a while, Lewen followed Gene back home. Suddenly he formally took off his hat and bowed to Gene.
"Thank you Mr. Jean."
Gene put down the unconscious Le Xiao, then tilted his head and said.
"Stop hanging around here."
Jean came back by taking the subway. Although it was very convenient to move on the roof, he had to pay a certain repair fee every month. Considering that there will soon be 6 people in Section 13, he still needs to save money.
As soon as he came back, Gene noticed the sneaky Levin, wandering around the apartment.
"Mr. Jean, you must know that my daughter's body has begun to alienate, right?"
Gene nodded. He had watched Le Xiao's heart being penetrated by a photokill bomb before, but he miraculously recovered. He worked at the Eastern Food Base for a day yesterday and his body has fully recovered today. This is no longer the case. Normal people should have the resilience. Ordinary mutants will not recover so quickly.
"I met my wife before and asked her to give the necklace to my daughter. I had noticed the movements of some guys before. Those semi-mechanical biochemical modifications were made with my technology more than 30 years ago. They are semi-finished products."
"I have a friend who hopes to extract your daughter's cells for medical research."
Gene said directly, and Lewen immediately thought of who it was.
"Cell innovation technology, if abused, will have endless consequences and lead to catastrophe for mankind. This technology is not yet mature, so"
Gene nodded and looked at Levin's hesitant look.
"I won't ask any extra questions. After all, everyone needs to hold one or two cards in their hand. But if there is any critical situation, you must contact me."
Le Wen hummed and looked at Le Xiao, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
"I will come over after a while. The thing I just drank for this child is a stabilizer. I can't alienate this child for the time being. But Mr. Jean, you really dare to do it. Isn't this the same as pushing this child into a pit of fire?"
Gene smiled and shook his head.
"Time will have the final say. Don't worry. This child is not as fragile as you think. After all, she is your daughter, isn't she?"
Lewen hummed in a dull voice, stood up, thanked Jean again and planned to leave.
"If it's to save people, you can ask this child's opinion. If she is willing, I won't have any objection. Thank you very much for what happened in the past, Mr. Jean."
Le Wen knew very well that after a serious accident happened that year, he had no choice but to run, because if he didn't run, he would be controlled by others, and his wife and daughter would also be threatened. But he knew the consequences of doing so, and sure enough, After interrogation day after day, his wife and daughter could no longer live a normal life. It was at this time that Jean went to his house and solved everything, allowing his wife and daughter to return to a normal life.
"Mr. Jean, let me remind you first. There are many different forces in this city, and what they ultimately want is"
"subversion."
Gene smiled and lit a cigarette, but his eyes were no longer gentle.
"Since you know it, Mr. Gene, different times have different practices. Too rough practices will accelerate the death of this city. I hope you understand, Mr. Gene."
Gene looked up, Le Wen had left, he looked at Le Xiao next to him, and smiled helplessly.
"Everything tomorrow will be very tiring."
"Get up quickly, or I'll beat you up if you don't get up."
The angry little man who screamed for bed took turns hitting Le Xiao's head with his fists. It was the third time. Le Xiao finally woke up and yawned.
"What? It's not dawn yet, it's only 5:30."
Suddenly, Le Xiao rolled off the bed and opened the living room door like crazy. There was a smell of cigarettes. Gene hadn't slept yet and was browsing things.
"What's wrong? It's not dawn yet."
Le Xiao covered his head. It was about 10 kilometers from here to the General Affairs Department under the Congress. Michelle kept echoing in his head. Report before 6 o'clock.
"It's over."
But Le Xiao still gritted his teeth, put on the sneakers on the boat, and ran out directly.
"I'm going to lose my salary."
Le Xiao screamed, and ran downstairs. Her head was full of what Michelle said, that if she dared to be late, she would not receive her salary this month.
