Chapter 1074 - Familiar Weapons

"Yingjie my boy, do you know what's wrong with my Haohao?" Grandpa Lu asked. "Tell me, I want to know!"

Long Jinjing also looked at Wang Yingjie with hopeful eyes. She knew that the man was one of the youngest hotshot surgeons in the country. Perhaps he could tell them what the doctors in this hospital couldn't answer about Lu Zihao's mysterious condition.

"Hmmm." Wang Yingjie sat directly on the bed by Lu Zihao's feet. "I saw the test results they conducted on Fifth Brother here. Everything is normal. Actually, his numbers are excellent. There shouldn't be anything wrong with him. Him being comatose" He glanced at Jin Liwei. "I think Third Brother has the same thought as I do."

Both Grandpa Lu and Long Jinjing also turned their eyes on Jin Liwei.

Jin Liwei shared a look with Wang Yingjie before sighing. "I'm not exactly sure if I'm correct but Fifth Brother's condition is similar to what happened to my wife before."

Wang Yingjie nodded. "Third Sister-in-law Xiulan and Fifth Brother Zihao share many similar experiences. They survived fatal accidents, fell into coma, woke up and seemingly developed completely different personalities. Their similar cases have always fascinated me. I pay more attention to Xiulan because her health is frailer compared to Fifth Brother's. She was the first one to fall into an unexplained coma after her recovery. And now that Fifth Brother fell into the same unexplained coma, I really do wonder if the similarities between them are really just mere coincidences or if there might be something more going on that I as a doctor can't explain using science. For now, at least."

Silence once again descended in the room.

Grandpa Lu appeared deep in his own thoughts after hearing what Wang Yingjie said. He wasn't like his usual loud and boisterous self.

As for Jin Liwei, he also kept silent, not because he had nothing to say but because it was better not to say anything. His second brother was an expert when it came to observation. If Jin Liwei wasn't careful, Wang Yingjie might sense the truth about Iris and Lu Zihao.

In the end, it was Long Jinjing who broke the brooding silence.

She rubbed Lu Zihao's big, rough and scarred hand in an effort to warm it up. "Little Sister Xiulan always wakes up after falling into coma. I believe that Zihao will wake up as well."

"En," Jin Liwei agreed.

Grandpa Lu remained uncharacteristically quiet. He stroked his perfectly groomed white mustache while studying his comatose grandson.

"But the two of them often falling into these mysterious coma episodes is still very worrying," Long Jinjing said. "What if this keeps happening to them throughout their lives?"

The others also worried about the same thing.

Even Jin Liwei who knew the possible reason for the coma episodes still worried. He knew that it involved the remnants of the original owners of the bodies.

Although his wife told him that she had already stopped encountering Long Xiulan's remnant after getting revenge against Fan Luo, he still worried that it would still pop up and try to disturb his wife's new life with him.

In contrast, he had the complete opposite attitude regarding his fifth brother's remnant. It was selfish for him to think this way but he really wished for his fifth brother's remnant to remain for as long as it was possible.

Later, Jin Liwei received a report from Shadow Winds that Rose Young was rescued. His expression turned ugly.

He was already back in his wife's room but left it again to speak to Shadow Winds in the hallway.

"She's already in police custody. How can she still be rescued?"

"We apologize for our incompetence this time, Mr. Jin. There were two teams who moved to rescue her. We were able to block the first one but the second group are pros."

Jin Liwei frowned. "Pros?"

"Yes, pros. Like us."

He was quite surprised that there was another group of professionals who were on par with his brother-in-law's Shadow Winds. This development was alarming.

"Do you know who they are?"

"The first one are regular goons, noobs really, who confessed to be Jin Chenggong's people."

Jin Liwei's expression turned uglier. That branch family just wouldn't stop giving him and his wife trouble. They even dared to collude with Rose Young to trap him! It seemed that disowning them from the Jin clan and firing them from their positions at Jin Corporation weren't enough to teach them a lesson. His eyes flashed with viciousness.

"The second group...we're still determining their identity. Our hacker team is already working on identifying them. Their close combat skills are on par with us but they're better armed than us. Their weapons are highly advanced. I thinknever mind. I shouldn't carelessly mention something that I'm not sure of." The Shadow Winds member looked nervous all of a sudden.

"What is it?"

The member thought for a moment before speaking again with great hesitation. "I may be wrong but the weapons those people are usingI find familiar. I've encountered them before while working as a freelance solo mercenary in Europe back in the days. Those kind of highly advanced weapons can only be made by that organization."

"What organization?"

The man looked around to make sure that there were no outsiders listening to their conversation. Then he leaned closer to Jin Liwei and whispered, "Vetrov."

Jin Liwei inhaled sharply and felt his heart stop before it started thundering inside his chest. However, he pretended to act clueless. "Oh."

"You might not know them. Not surprising because you're not really involved with the underworld. The only thing you need to know is that the Vetrov organization was the reigning emperor of the criminal world until their shocking collapse. But during their heydays, they were the top arms supplier in the underworld. The weapons they designed and manufactured remain as some of the best in the world that even the governments of several developed nations secretly buy them from the black market."

"So you're saying that the weapons Rose Young's rescuers are using are made by the Vetrovs?"

"Possibly. I'm not 100% sure but I think that might be the case."

"Hah." Jin Liwei massaged his temples.

Calling this a bad day was an understatement.
