Chapter 443 -443: I Have Some Bad News to Tell You

Lu Zhanxing realized something was off with him lately.

Specifically, his memory was getting better and better, and his recovery from such severe injuries had doctors calling it unbelievable.

Even his severely injured leg was starting to sense a little.

Lu Zhanxing couldn’t help but wonder, had he gained superpowers from his misfortune?

He stared at the water glass on the bedside table.

Fly, fly, fly…

Great, it didn’t fly. He was still a normal person.

Unable to find a reason, he could only attribute it to his regular exercise and good physical fitness.

A few days later, he believed he was ready to be discharged from the hospital, a thought that Su Mian promptly vetoed.

Su Mian insisted Lu Zhanxing stay in the hospital for a few more days, assuring there were no issues before she would proceed with his discharge.

Lu Zhanxing bore it with a wronged expression.

He wanted to get home early so his sister wouldn’t have to keep running back and forth.

Qiao Yun took a week off from school and visited Lu Zhanxing every day to give him massages to relax his muscles.

Although Lu Zhanxing felt guilty for his sister’s trouble, he had to admit he enjoyed it, and her massage skills were truly excellent; after each session, he felt much more spirited.

“Sis, where did you learn how to massage so well?”

“Grandpa was sick, and massaging him made him feel better,” Qiao Yun said without any emotional fluctuation on her face.

But Su Mian felt terribly heartbroken, thinking about how sad Qiaoqiao must have been. She didn’t want Qiaoqiao to remember the bad times.

So she teased sourly, “Qiaoqiao, you only care about massaging your brother. Mom wants to try it too.”

Qiao Yun looked at Su Mian, “You’re not tired.”

Su Mian: “…”

She coughed lightly.

She really wasn’t tired since Lu Zhanxing had awakened. She was in high spirits.

Qiao Yun spoke the truth, but seeing Su Mian’s odd expression, she thought her mother was upset, “I’ll give you a massage.”

She walked over to Su Mian and raised her hand, ready to begin.

But Su Mian grabbed her hand gently, patted it, and said with a smile, “Qiaoqiao, we won’t leave you behind, we won’t let you be alone again.”

Qiao Yun’s gaze fell on the hand that Su Mian was holding, her eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, “Okay, I won’t leave you behind either.”

After a pause, she added, “Mom, don’t worry, I’m not sad.”

Su Mian rarely heard Qiao Yun call her ‘mom.’ Every time she did, her heart swelled with joy. She couldn’t help showing a toothy grin and boastfully raised her eyebrows at Lu Zhanxing.

Her face said, ‘My daughter is closer to me.’

She didn’t look dignified or composed at all.

Lu Zhanxing rolled his eyes. Really, competing for affection now?

“Sis, you should go back to school. Brother is fine now,” Lu Zhanxing urged.

Qiao Yun looked at him for a long while and said with a stern face, “You better take care of yourself.”

“Yeah, yeah, I will.” Lu Zhanxing brought his fingers together, raised two fingers to the sky, and swore he would take good care of himself.

“Don’t worry, mom is here too. We’ll both take good care of your brother,” Su Mian said with some guilt. Her daughter was in her senior year, and finals were approaching, yet she had had her worried all this time.

Seeing this, Qiao Yun agreed to go back to school.

Lu Zhanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn’t understood why his sister, with such high achievements, still needed to attend school.

Later, he understood. It was precisely because her achievements were so high that she hadn’t experienced the life of an ordinary person. And for that reason, he cherished Qiao Yun even more.

As soon as Qiao Yun left the hospital room, she received a call from Pei Ya, who sounded quite serious, “I have some bad news to tell you.”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s just that… um…” Pei Ya hesitated, not sure how to put it, and finally, under the pressure of Professor Qiao, blurted out dryly, “It’s just that, the research materials of the Newborn plan had been accessed by someone.”

Qiao Yun hadn’t even spoken when he hurriedly added as if the sky were falling, “It wasn’t my fault, alright? It’s all because those damned kids are careless and now that this has happened, they keep passing the buck, not daring to tell you, and finally, they pushed me out to take the bullets.”

The Tianqi Research Institute’s security level was very high, so high that even the top hackers couldn’t break through; nothing had ever gone wrong for many years.

It was precisely because nothing had happened that these kids got too complacent and let their guard down, leaving an opening for someone to exploit.

Had it not been for the experiments being conducted on Lu Zhanxing, they would not have discovered the incident.

Who would have thought that someone would covet the dusty Newborn plan?

“We found out that this force came from abroad, and well…”

“Speak up,” Qiao Yun said with an impatient frown, finding Pei Ya too long-winded.

Pei Ya spoke in a low voice, “According to the records, it looks like it happened a year ago.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

She said solemnly, “An intrusion from a year ago, and you only discover it now?”

Pei Ya braced himself and said, “Because the intrusion happened a year ago, no one knew about this experimental thing with Lu Zhanxing. It’s possible that the incident with Number One has been discovered…”

Qiao Yun emphasized, “A year, and you only found out now?”

Pei Ya decided to remain silent.

Initially, it was Professor Qiao who said that the Newborn plan should be sealed off permanently, so most of the documents were destroyed,

leaving only a small portion of materials that Professor Qiao had forbidden to be destroyed.

Qiao Yun said, “The weather has been quite nice lately.”

Pei Ya glanced outside at the gloomy sky and maintained his silence.

“Quite suitable for planting vegetables.” Qiao Yun ordered, “Have them go to the back mountain to farm, to get some physical exercise.”

Pei Ya thought of the vast back mountain – did she want them to farm until the next year?

He dared not object; he could only agree obediently, after all, it wasn’t him who had to do the farming.

“By the way, are you planning to stay with the Lu Family?”

Qiao Yun’s voice carried a faint “Hmm” in response.

“I really want to know what charm they have to keep you there,” Pei Ya said with a tinge of acidity.

Having a Professor Qiao in the house is much more useful than having money.

He hoped they wouldn’t develop other intentions once they knew of Qiao Yun’s identity.

“They’re very nice.”

“Aren’t we nice?”

“You are nice, but it’s different.”

“How is it different?” Pei Ya wondered.

Qiao Yun explained, “With you guys, I’m like a mother…”

“Alright, I know,” Pei Ya thought, resigned that the ‘mother’ joke would haunt him for a lifetime.

Even though he was surprised by Qiao Yun’s decision, he wouldn’t stop her.

He truly hoped Qiao Yun could be happy; after all, who doesn’t want to have a family.

Pei Ya once had a family too, only now…

A flicker of sorrow passed through his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and, with renewed vigor, said, “Without the core program, all they got is a bunch of documents; they can’t do anything with it.”

Qiao Yun nodded.

She was well aware, and a year had gone by with nothing happening, indicating that, to this day, the other party had achieved nothing.

Qiao Yun didn’t dwell on this matter, as the Tianqi Research Institute was a target coveted by many, both from abroad and within the country, all wanting to steal their data.

Such incidents had become so common they were no longer surprising.
