442 Time to Make Arrangements (1/2)
Bionic experiment not so much, but he did have a bionic anomalous lifeform with him. A lie required more lies to make sense. Han Chu could not come up with a rational explanation and did not wish to waste time on meaningless things, so he used the confidentiality clause of his job to skip over the answering part.
The professional had obvious interest in the provider of the blood sample that Han Chu had sent over, but he knew that Han Chu would not provide him with any extra info. To get more info, the only way was to wait for Han Chu to come back to him for help.
Curiosity aside, the professional was an astute person. Soon, he understood what he was needed to do and returned to his professional setting. ”I'm not going to ask for more details, and I do not wish to know how you came to the conclusion of a genetic problem. In any case, this is not so different from a computer OS. If it's due to the instability of the genetic information, then it can only mean that the new function is not compatible with the current system. So, either reboot everything or go make a patch.”
”What about usability?” Han Chu frowned.
”How would I know?” The professional shrugged. ”This is the first time I've come across something like this, and what I gave is just speculation.”
Han Chu was annoyed for a while before throwing out Madam Grace's blood sample. ”Never mind then. Go ahead and analyze this so that I have something to go back with. Do not tell others about this. If there's anything else, I'll come back to you.”
The professional knew the rules. He took the test tubes and left. Han Chu and Ye Shuang went onto the internet, looked on their phones, and walked around to work their bones. One hour later, they took the new blood report back to deal with Cedrick.
”This is bad.” The report that Han Chu got did not give any good news, and Cedrick did not show much interest in the new but useless report. In any case, he did not know how to read it. The bodyguards had taken their spots outside the room, and now Cedrick was sitting beside Madam Grace's bed alone. His expression was complicated. ”I always thought I wouldn't care about her.”
Han Chu nodded. ”It's clear that due to your family background and issues, your rebellious period has lasted longer than others.”
”…” Cedrick was silent for a while and raised her hand to smooth down the hair that had fallen over Madam Grace's forehead. He stared at the latter's peaceful sleeping face. ”I do not know how to be a good son since she's been missing from my life for so many years. She is obviously not a good mother either; she tries to be better toward me, but I can see that my existence puts her in an awkward position.”
Han Chu did not know how to continue. Mocking from outsiders and complaining on one's own were different. A son could complain about his mother, but if others really agreed, that might not be a socially acceptable thing to do.
Thankfully, Cedrick did not need him to reply. He continued to mumble, trapped in his own world. It was as if he treated Han Chu and Ye Shuang like they were invisible. ”Grace… My mother's people said that she wants me to temporarily take over her forces until she wakes up.”
This, he could work with… Han Chu nodded in agreement from a rational standpoint. ”The organization that Madam Grace belongs to is not friendly. Other than her, the other higher officials are in a mutually competitive and reliant relationship. If no one takes over, Madam Grace's forces might be consumed by others, so it is not a bad idea for you to temporarily take over.”
