Chapter 569: A Pink Villa 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Jiu did not say anything in return.

As she was holding her phone tightly, Fu Zhis eyes were bloodshot and glazed over with tears. Meanwhile, she pressed on. What about you?

I have a pink villa, a rose garden, and a doll, but what about my favorite part, you?

Ye Jiu averted his gaze and looked ahead into the sea.

The sun was hiding behind the layer of clouds, and he could not see the other side of the horizon no matter how far he looked.

The captain of the 4th division was standing beside Ye Jiu right now. When he saw Fu Zhi, he suddenly had a feeling that they had underestimated the relations.h.i.+p between them. He took a step back to let them talk to each other.

Fu Zhi sniffed and tears began to fall from her eyes..

Ye Jiu was stunned. He jerked his head back and said, his voice thick with anxiety, You You dont cry.

He raised his hand, but he realized there was nothing he could do right now, as Fu Zhi was on the other side of the line.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that he never seemed to be able to do anything for her.

Fu Zhi stared at Ye Jiu, her eyes widened in determination, and clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles began turning white. She then added, You said youd stay with me forever. You wouldnt lie to me, right?

When Fu Zhao had brought her back to the Fu Family, she had brought a small secret with her as well. Even though Fu Zhao doted on her a lot, the person she liked the most was Ye Jiu, who always gave her the cold shoulder. After all, young Fu Zhi had thought that Ye Jiu looked a lot like her, and Fu Zhao had said that they looked like identical twins.

For Fu Zhi, Ye Jiu was not just her brother. He was a lot more than that.

He was someone very important to her, to the point that when she was a three-year-old little girl, she had been willing to give up all her candy, dolls, castles, and princess crowns for him.

This showed how important Ye Jiu was to her.

In the meantime, the people that Aurora had brought finished preparing the operating table. They came out of the cabin and looked at Ye Jiu.

The preparations are done, and we can start right now. To prevent anything from happening, well give you anesthesia first.

Ye Jiu turned around and nodded at them. A second later, he spun back to face Fu Zhi and said, I watched the live-streaming session today.

He was talking about the live-streaming session with Matthew and Anmisu. A wide grin crossed his face as he added, Im happy that youve grown up. You can protect yourself now and you can protect other people as well. More and more people are beginning to warm up to you, so while youre learning how to love others, youre being loved too.

Our country regards you as a treasure, and Mrs. Li is a nice person. I believe youll be in good hands.

Zhizhi, I cant promise you anything, but you have to understand one thing. I love you very much. Youre a researcher, so Im sure you know that all experiments have a good chance of failing and a good chance of succeeding. Therefore, there is a probability that this experiment will not fail. Besides, Country Ms technology is mature. Ive seen it with my own eyes. Even if there is only a one percent chance of success, Ill seize it so that I can go back to see you again.

After all, he had only one sister and he could not bring himself to leave her alone.

No! No way! Ye Jiu! Fu Zhi shouted. Dont do the operation. Dont listen to them. Wait for me, Im coming to get you. We can go home together.

Its too late, Zhizhi. You dont need to feel sad for me, Ye Jiu replied as he stared at Fu Zhis face, the emotion in his eyes unreadable.

By the way, happy new year. I wish you a joyous, happy life in the future.

Ye Jiu! Fu Zhi called out to him through gritted teeth. Its not New Years. I dont want New Years to be today!

Ye Jiu chuckled. Yes, but I figure I should celebrate with you in advance. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Happy birthday

And goodbye.

After saying that, Ye Jiu ended the video call.

The screen went black, and a memory surfaced in her head.

1

She was only three years old when she had gone back to the Fu Family. She had been fragile and weak as a porcelain doll.

She kept following Ye Jiu and asking, Why do you always look so serious, brother?

The boy in front of her was holding a pink doll in his hands as he replied in a serious voice, Because all adults are serious, and I want to grow up faster.

Why do you want to grow up?

Ill become an adult when I grow up. Then, I can go out to work to put food on the table. Look at our father. Hes rich, and I want to become like him when I grow up. I want to buy a giant pink castle so that you can stay inside like a princess in a fairy tale.

Zhizhi doesnt want to be a princess. You dont have to grow up. Zhizhi wants you to be happy every day, Fu Zhi said as she tugged at the boys sleeve. The mister at the research inst.i.tute told me that its not nice to be an adult at all, and Zhizhi doesnt want you to grow up. Zhizhi is younger now, so you have to take care of her, but can you wait for Zhzhi to grow up too? Then, Ill be your elder sister and Ill be able to protect you.

That year, although Fu Zhi was only three years old, she had understood the difficulty and hards.h.i.+ps of being an adult. She did not want Ye Jiu to experience them, so shed eaten a lot of vegetables, drunk a lot of milk, and earned a lot of money so that she could become a safe haven for Ye Jiu.

After she stayed with him for some time, her health started getting better and better. When she was 8 years old, she grew a lot taller than she used to be. Ye Jiu was 13 years old at the time, and hed started to work at the research inst.i.tute.

Before becoming an adult, she used to occasionally give Ye Jiu the money that she hid under her pillow.

Dad said that Id have my own family in the future. Hes probably implying that hes going to kick me out of the house and throw me into a garbage tank, just like Xiao Mei, but it doesnt matter. I have a lot of money, and Im going to give it to you. Will this money allow you to buy a villa and enjoy yourself at home without going to work? If it doesnt, I will think of ways to make more money.

The boy did not say anything. He turned his head away from the little girl in front of him as his eyes turned bloodshot.

Time flitted by, and another year soon pa.s.sed.

Unlike other children, the little girl gradually revealed her high intelligence. She skipped grades and studied around the clock to gain more knowledge from books.

She was taught by a succession of professors, but she was advancing so much that they soon did not have anything to teach her anymore. Slowly, she became their colleague, and in the end, she outgrew them and became their teacher.

Fu Zhao gave her a lot of freedom, while the country took care of her.

In comparison, Ye Jiu was told that they were just a bunch of test subjects for the DNA splicing technology.

In other words, they were failed products of the experiment.

All the negative emotions in Ye Jiu, such as hatred and resentment, erupted inside of him.

In the end, all of them resented their parents for creating them.

They did not believe that their country could save them anymore and they believed that they had been abandoned by their country after Fu Zhis birth.

It was Chinese New Year that day.

He had promised her that he would spend New Years Eve with her, but he stood her up.

He had followed Ye San and the others and gone to another country.

He had lied to her. He had given her a gaming console and told her that he would come back from work to take her to watch the fireworks after she finished the game.

She finished the game and she had a lot of money.

However, Ye Jiu failed to keep his promise.

He had lied to her again and again.

Zhizhi, I know youre worried about Ye Jiu, but Fu Yuan hastily comforted Fu Zhi when he saw tears rolling down her cheeks. At the same time, he sent a message to Fu Zhao.

He lied to me again Fu Zhi said, her voice thick with sobs.

A second later, before Fu Yuan could say anything, she stomped on the gas pedal, and the car shot forward.

Holy sh*t! Fu Yuan yelled, feeling like his life was in grave danger.

He did not know if Ye Jiu was still alive or dead, but he was certain that he was going to die today.

In the meantime, w.a.n.g Rao said calmly, Ms. Fu, Ive already informed Boss, and hes on his way there! But the open seas are supposed to be governed by several countries. The International Crimes Unit has the right to travel freely on the high seas, but people like us dont. Im worried that it might not be that easy if we want to chase after them right now.

As w.a.n.g Rao was wracking his brains for a solution, he saw Fu Zhi pick her phone up and make a call. Then, when he saw a phone number with a string of zeros, he was stunned.

Fu Yuan had noticed it as well, and his eyes widened in shock.

Isnt this the phone number of

Before he could finish speaking, a mans voice erupted from the phone. Zhizhi.

The International Crimes Unit is in the open sea now. I need you to help me intercept their s.h.i.+p, Fu Zhi said.

Right now? he asked. There was a momentary silence on the other side of the phone before he continued speaking. We dont have full authority over the open seas, and a wrong move will cause conflict between the two countries. Besides, I saw only the people from Country Ms royal family on that s.h.i.+p.

Ye Jiu and the people from the International Crimes Unit are in the open seas too. They are involved in the in vivo experiment! Fu Zhi said. I cant make it in time!

She was almost on the verge of an emotional breakdown. More tears were flowing out of her eyes as she sobbed. Im worried that I wont be able to save him. Dad, please help me. I dont want to lose my brother

She had done a lot of research and saved a lot of lives. She was worried that she might not be able to save Ye Jiu, though.

This was the first time in 17 years that she cried like this.

It was as if something had broken her. She was no longer invincible or impervious.

Fear began to gnaw away at her.

The man fell silent for a while. Just as w.a.n.g Rao thought he was not going to do anything, the man shouted angrily at his subordinate, Notify everyone! All available personnel are to go to the high seas right now and seize s.h.i.+p model a688. Also, inform the wars.h.i.+ps that are still doing exercise drills in the high seas. Ask them to send additional support. Strong measures are allowed in case they refuse to comply!

So Another voice came. What kind of reason should we give for this?

Theyre trying to harm my son and theyve made my daughter cry! Is that reason not good enough?!

w.a.n.g Ran did not know what to comment.

Meanwhile, in the open sea

Inside the operating room, Aurora injected Ye Jiu with a certain dose of anesthetic.

When Ye Jiu closed his eyes, a scene flashed before his eyes.

As the little girl gave him the money, there were stars in her eyes.

The little girl had also written him a letter of guarantee. She said, I will try my best to become a big sister as soon as possible. Then, I will kick those bad peoples *sses and protect you all, like the prince protects the princess in a fairy tale!

What if you cant defeat them?

Dad said I am worth a lot of money. You have to wait for me. I can get the bad guy to kidnap me to get money. Then, I will come and save you.

But I cant wait any longer. Besides, how can I let you hurt yourself?

The smile on the corner of the young mans lips disappeared as he slipped into darkness.

There were a lot of bottles around Aurora.

She withdrew some blood from Ye Jiu and then injected the syringe given to her in advance by the professor into Ye Jius body.

After doing that, she picked a scalpel up.

Before she had come here, her fathers had installed the surgery package into her. Every movement she performed was meticulously calculated by the machine, so no mistake would occur.

Right now, she placed the scalpel on Ye Jius stomach, and an opening soon appeared with a flick of her wrist.

A doctor then reminded her, The heart is the most important organ in a humans body. Other than his DNA, the most important part of our experiment is his heart.

Aurora nodded.

She was equipped with a sophisticated, a.n.a.lytical data program. Just as she was about to move to the next step, their s.h.i.+p shook violently and the alarm blared out.

Aurora raised her head and looked at the doctor. He then went outside to check on the situation. The moment he pushed the door open, he saw a group of men in army uniforms in front of the International Crimes Unit.

Aurora continued to collect samples from Ye Jius body. While the doctor was not handing her gauze and equipment anymore, she raised her head. She looked at the horrified doctor and frowned. Whats wrong?

The doctor pointed at the door, and before he could say anything, a group of people barged into the operating room.
