"Exchange of equal value?" Gu Nianzhi just muttered and repeated it when Lu Jian shouted, "What exchange of equal value?! I don't agree! - Let him die!"
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood.
"... Mr. Lu means to use his leukemia treatment in exchange?"
Lu Yuan nodded, completely ignoring Lu Jin who was jumping angrily at the side.
"I said I don't agree!" Lu Jin was so angry that he couldn't speak coherently. "I don't agree, I don't agree, I don't agree! - I've never been threatened!"
Lu Yuan re-opened the newspaper as if nothing had happened, blocking his view, and said to Gu Nianzhi: "... You can tell your dad some reason."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She looked at Lu Yuan, who was stable, and then at Lu Jin, who had a look of rejection, and felt a dull pain in her temples.
But Gu Nianzhi is Lu Jin's biological daughter after all. She quickly rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, what kind of equal exchange?! Where does the equal exchange come from? I don't agree with it either!"
The newspaper in Lu Yuan's hand lowered, and he revealed a pair of eyes from the top edge of the newspaper, looking at Gu Nianzhi quietly.
Lu Jian turned from anger to joy and said happily: "Really? Look, my girl agrees with me! I checked her eyes and it's really my daughter!"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"...Dad, don't go online anymore when you have nothing to do." Gu Nianzhi coughed lightly, and then looked at Lu Jin flatteringly, "Of course it's not an equal exchange. My father's life is much more important than Reinz's. Reinz My life is at best comparable to a hair of my father’s, right?”
"Of course!" Lu Jin patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder vigorously, "My girl is right!"
"Then you listen to me?" Gu Nianzhi quickly followed, "We only exchanged Reinz's life for one of your hairs, but you still made a profit."
Lu Jin: "..."
It sounds like something is wrong, but the logic is irreproachable.
Lu Jin suddenly fell into a logical endless loop of "Is his hair more important?" or "Leinz's life is more important."
Then he vaguely agreed to Gu Nianzhi to help her design a gene therapy that could specifically treat Reinz's special type of leukemia...
…
After coming out of Lu Jin's laboratory, Gu Nianzhi sat directly in front of Huo Shaoheng's hospital bed and tucked him in.
She rarely saw Huo Shaoheng injured.
It's not that Huo Shaoheng has never been injured, but if he is seriously injured when he goes on a mission, he will recover from his injuries before meeting Gu Nianzhi.
All she had seen were minor injuries.
This was the first time she had seen such injuries.
The micro grenade used by Reinz was extremely powerful. Although Huo Shaoheng tried his best to avoid it, he was still injured by shrapnel fragments in the areas of his back that were not covered by the bulletproof vest.
His face was a little pale, and his lips were so white that they were almost transparent.
These are all symptoms of severe blood loss.
Lu Jin did not give him a blood transfusion, but used alternative therapy to directly stimulate the body's hematopoietic system, speed up his metabolism, and stimulate his own blood circulation.
This therapy is much safer than blood transfusion, but it also requires much higher medical skills.
Lu Yuan also walked in at this time, stood in front of Huo Shaoheng's hospital bed, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said softly: "... Where is your father?"
"Design his gene therapy in the laboratory." Gu Nianzhi also whispered, "I will contact Reinz, but you better not come forward. I don't want Reinz to associate with you."
Gu Nianzhi is extremely afraid of Leinz. Although Lu Yuan is also an expert in this field, Leinz and Lu Yuan have met face to face. If Leinz finds out about Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan is more likely to be exposed. .
Like Lu Jin, Gu Nianzhi didn't want this to happen.
"But I'm even more worried if you come forward." Lu Yuan objected, "This kind of thing is too dangerous, it's better for me to come forward."
"No need." Gu Nianzhi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I am not surprised at all by Reinz. But you are different. I don't want him to find out more things."
Lu Yuan thought for a long time and said, "Then if you want to see him, I have to stay close to you and accompany you."
"That's no problem. Just don't come forward."
After Gu Nianzhi and Lu Yuan finished their discussion, they started taking action.
But before she could go to the bank to rent a safe, she received a call from Reinz.
"Miss Gu? Do you have time to chat? I have a piece of hair here that I believe you will be interested in."
Speaking of this, Gu Nianzhi had to go.
The place where Reinz made an appointment with her was next to a small flower bed in front of a five-star hotel in New York.
People come and go here, very lively and prosperous.
Gu Nianzhi saw Reinz as soon as he got out of the taxi.
He was wearing a mid-length thin Burberry windbreaker, as if he hadn't slept for a long time. The black and blue under his eyes were obvious, and stubble had grown on his thin face, but he didn't look slovenly, just unruly.
Separated by a small flower bed, she is here and he is there.
Tulips of various colors were planted in the flower beds and were in full bloom.
The sky was dark with dusk, and the rose-purple sunset illuminated half of the sky.
Reinz held a cigarette in his hand. He dusted off the ashes, narrowed his blue eyes, smiled, and said, "You haven't left yet."
He thought that Gu Nianzhi had fled New York a long time ago. In fact, the news he received was that Gu Nianzhi had already flown back to the Chinese Empire with another person.
Gu Nianzhi knew that she and Lu Yuan went to the airport and fooled a lot of people. She never thought that she could fool Reinz as well, but she never expected that he would call her directly.
"...Are you here to arrest me?" Gu Nianzhi looked worried, "But I'm just a front line for the Soviet KGB..."
Reinz sneered and raised his hand to stop her, "Stop acting with me. I know your accomplices are Chinese, not Soviet."
Gu Nianzhi retorted calmly: "There are also Chinese people in the Soviet KGB. For example, there was a lady named Xie at the top of the Soviet KGB. She was of Chinese descent."
She is talking about Xie Ziyan in this world.
Huo Shaoheng later told her that Xie Ziyan in this world had indeed joined the Soviet KGB, but she had never married or had children in her life, and she had already passed away.
The false news about Xie Ziyan's marriage and childbirth in the Soviet KGB were deliberately released to cover up Huo Shaoheng's identity.
Reinz shrugged, "So what? How about we test the DNA of this hair?"
He took out a small transparent plastic bag and shook it at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "Mr. Reinz is really awesome. He can threaten us with just a hair from anywhere. I admire him!"
She cupped her hands, looking relaxed.
Reinz was slightly startled.
Isn't this hair really important
He was not fooled by Gu Nianzhi's performance and continued to test, "How about we negotiate a deal?"
"You want to negotiate a deal with a piece of hair." Gu Nianzhi shook his head, "Then if I cut a piece of flesh from you, can you abdicate in favor of someone better?"
Reinz: "..."
"If you don't want it, then I will have to give this hair to the CIA in the United States. How about it? Even if it is the Chinese KGB, the CIA in the United States will definitely be interested, right?"
When Reinz's plan failed, he tried another one.
Only then did Gu Nianzhi look a little scared, but he still said with a fierce look and a soft heart: "Go ahead and say it! See if they ignore you!"
"Haha, then I'll report it." Reinz took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
Gu Nianzhi said anxiously: "Okay! I'm afraid of you! What kind of deal do you want to negotiate?!"
Reinz squinted his eyes as he looked at her, and his voice deepened: "... Is the person who told me that I was sick the owner of this hair?"
Gu Nianzhi was noncommittal, "What do you want? What do you want to exchange for this hair?"
"Since he can see that I am sick, there should be a cure..." Reinz said slowly, "Tell me the cure and I will give you my hair back."
"Ah?!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened, "Are you kidding me? One hair can change a life, why don't you go to heaven?!"
She turned to leave angrily.
Reinz hurriedly stopped her and said patiently: "You can't make the decision. Go and tell him that I am sincerely negotiating a deal with him."
Gu Nianzhi stopped, looked back at Reinz, and suddenly laughed, "Let's talk about a deal. One hair is not enough, unless you can get something else."
"Then it depends on how much your life is worth." Gu Nianzhi deliberately did not say what she wanted, and was not eager to get her hair back.
This attitude went a long way to assuaging Reinz's suspicions.
He had never planned that this hair alone could be used to exchange for resources that would keep him alive, but how could he rest assured without testing it
On the contrary, if the other party agreed immediately, he would know that the owner of this hair was very important to Gu Nianzhi and the others.
Then he really wants to hang it up and sell it.
Reinz took a puff of his cigarette and threw the plastic bag away, "Okay, this is my first step of sincerity."
Gu Nianzhi took the plastic bag and nodded, "Well, your sincerity is directly proportional to your hair, right?"
Reinz smiled and shook his head, "I only have this hair, believe it or not."
Gu Nianzhi spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. The key is whether you want to live or not."
The smile on Reinz's face faded, "How could I not want to live? But how do I know that your method can save my life?"
"The fact that you come to us means that you believe it." Gu Nianzhi said in a persuasive manner, "So come on! Show your sincerity!"
Reinz watched as Gu Nianzhi waved for a taxi and left.
He made no attempt to follow Gu Nianzhi, because it was completely unimportant to him what Gu Nianzhi's situation was.
He is now acting for his own life.
…
Gu Nianzhi came back in a taxi that drove far away.
This time Lu Yuan pretended to be a taxi driver so perfectly that even Reinz didn't notice.
The two returned to the Central Park penthouse where Lu Yuan and Lu Jin lived, and Lu Jin happened to come out of the laboratory.
Huo Shaoheng was also awake and was sitting at the dining table eating.
In front of him were several pieces of T-shaped steak that had just been grilled. They were medium-rare. When pressed lightly with a knife and fork, they were juicy, fragrant and tender.
Gu Nianzhi was very surprised and ran towards him with a smile, "Master Huo! Are you awake?!"
Huo Shaoheng cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and smiled at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was so shaken by that smile that her heart pounded.
She sat next to Huo Shaoheng and looked him up and down, wanting to lift up his shirt to see the injury on his back.
Huo Shaoheng saw what she meant and said with a low smile: "When I finish eating, I will go back to the room and show you all..."
Gu Nianzhi actually didn't mean anything else, but when it came out of Huo Shaoheng's mouth, it seemed that there was something else.
Gu Nianzhi's face slowly turned red, he lowered his head and rubbed the tassels on the tablecloth, and made a soft noise.
Lu Yuan twitched his lips, shook his head, and went to the laboratory to find Lu Jin.
Lu Jin was wearing a white coat and was observing the slices he had made under the microscope.
"How is it? Has the method been designed?" Lu Yuan knocked on the door and asked quietly.
Lu Jin looked back at him and said, "Nian Zhi is back too?"
"Well, I'm talking to Shao Heng in the restaurant." Lu Yuan walked over slowly, "Where did you get the steak?"
The steak looked like it was cooked by a chef. It was full of color, flavor and flavor, and the key heat was well controlled. This is the most rare thing among Western chefs.
Lu Jin said disdainfully: "Of course it was ordered from the chef of the Michelin three-star hotel. Could it be made by me?"
"You are quite self-aware." Lu Yuan sat down with a smile and asked softly: "Are you really planning to help Reinz treat his leukemia?"
Currently, Reinz is the strongest opponent Lu Yuan has ever encountered, perhaps because Reinz is also a genetically modified person.
His intuition is much sharper than the average person's.
As for intelligence work, this is simply a talented player.
Lu Jin said arrogantly: "Of course he needs to be treated. However, before receiving my treatment, his life is in God's hands. After receiving my treatment, his life is in my hands."
Lu Jin made a gesture with his right hand, palm facing upward, and his five fingers slowly closing together to make a fist, as if he already held Reinz's life in his hands.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan frowned, "Can you speak human language well?"
"Illiterate. I'm talking about medical terms." Lu Jin said seriously, "Do you know what gene therapy really is?"
"Real gene therapy will make him open up all his DNA to me. When I use gene therapy to treat his leukemia, I will plant another 'bomb' in his genes."
"If one day he is ungrateful and wants to go against us, I will 'explode' this 'bomb' and let him die silently."
