A flash of doubt flashed in Si Xiyou's eyes, and then he looked at Bu Chensu, "Is anyone else coming?"
"Uncle San and Uncle Qi are on their way here," Si Niannian said.
Si Xiyou was slightly startled, and the smile at the corner of his mouth faded a bit for some unknown reason.
Zuo Qi seemed to like Si Xiyou's change in expression and chuckled.
"I asked someone to bring Mr. Si and the others over. I heard that the Si family attaches great importance to family ties. I guess the Secretary must also care about your brother very much and want to see him as soon as possible, right?"
Si Xiyou also chuckled in response, "Thank you very much, Prince Zuo Qi."
"You're welcome."
Half an hour later, Si Xinghe and Zhou Qian also arrived.
As for Si Muen, Yuan Cheng and others, they returned to Beicheng with the injured numbers and the bodies of their fallen teammates.
"Second brother? Why are you here too?" Si Xinghe was a little surprised when he saw Si Xiyou, "Didn't you say that there was a very important research project recently? The project is over?"
Si Xiyou shook his head, "I encountered a bottleneck, and I didn't want to get into trouble, so I went out to relax and return to my teacher. We should accompany her to see the environment in which she grew up, and thank her teacher for raising her."
"That's true."
Si Xinghe originally thought so too, so he didn't doubt Si Xiyou's words.
I just felt that the atmosphere in this private room was a little strange, "What were you talking about just now?"
He took Zhou Qi and sat down together, right next to Bu Chensu.
"Talk about some values. Your little princess and the department chief have different opinions, but I support the little princess." It was Zuo Qi who spoke again.
Zi Shu glanced at him doubtfully and murmured, "Why do you talk so much today?"
Don't you usually stand alone and look beautiful on a high place
Why did you suddenly turn into a talkative person
Zuo Qi glanced at him and said, "It's ridiculous that humans are often blinded by the so-called family affection."
Zi Shu looked confused, "What are you talking about?"
If the words that cannot be hit suddenly appear, what kind of trouble is this
Zuo Qi didn't explain either and turned to look at Zhou Qi.
"Master Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Could you please take a moment to chat?"
Zhou Zhou nodded, and before standing up to leave, he patted Si Xinghe's shoulder lightly.
Zuo Qi glanced at it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a look of understanding.
The two went to the private room opposite, closed the door, and talked about something, no one knew.
Here, Si Xinghe kept asking questions about where Si Niannian had gone and whether he was injured.
"Since you and Chen Su disappeared, I have been thinking about it. What did you do? Why did you suddenly disappear in Huaibei? Did you find something in the prison?"
Si Xinghe did not mention that Chang Qing was still studying the floor plan of the prison and the underground passages.
Bu Chensu didn't speak. He was helping Si Niannian pour tea. The whole process seemed like all the topics had nothing to do with him, and he only cared about Si Niannian.
"We found a secret passage in Area D, which leads directly to a mysterious laboratory." Si Niannian suddenly said.
"Laboratory?" Si Xinghe frowned slightly, "The laboratory built underground in Huaibei Prison?"
Thinking with your toes, you can tell that there is definitely something wrong with this laboratory.
Si Nian paused for a moment and then spoke again, "And they are conducting experiments on living people."
Everyone: "!!!"
No matter what era you are in, no matter what your status is, when you hear about experiments on living people, your first reaction is: cruelty.
Even John, a man who started out as a gangster, looked serious.
Zi Shu thought of the words he heard in the car and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Si Xiyou.
No way
It's not what he thinks, is it
But Si Xiyou's expression was very calm, as if what Si Niannian said had nothing to do with him.
Doubts arose in Zi Shu's heart. Could it be that he understood it wrong
Si Xinghe's brows were completely knitted together, his eyes darkened, and his expression was solemn.
"Have you found out who did the experiment?" Si Xinghe asked in a deep voice.
Si Niannian pursed her lips and felt confused again.
At this time, a big hand wrapped her little hand, and the warm body temperature gave her the most intimate comfort and support.
Si Niannian glanced at Bu Chensu, and instantly gained confidence and motivation, and finally made a decision.
"One is named Jiang Chen and the other is Qi Kan."
As soon as Si Niannian finished speaking, Si Xinghe's eyes suddenly turned to Si Xiyou.
He stood up and looked at Si Xiyou, "Second brother, weren't Jiang Chen and Qi Kan your former assistants?"
Everyone in the Si family has their own careers. On the surface, no one seems to interfere with anyone else, but they all have a certain understanding of each other.
This is the relationship between family members. It is not shown on the surface, but it is hidden deep in the heart.
Si Xiyou was still sitting there with a calm expression.
Even though everyone's eyes were on him, there was no trace of panic in his eyes.
After a while, he looked at Si Xinghe and nodded.
"No need to guess, the laboratory is indeed mine."
Everyone again: "!!!"
Si Xinghe stood up suddenly and looked at Si Xiyou in disbelief.
"Second brother!"
Si Xiyou also stood up, "Be prepared for a rainy day. Once my experiment is successful, it will bring the new world to a higher level. We will no longer have to be afraid of the zombie world, and we will no longer have to worry about the second apocalyptic war."
"So you just use human lives as experiments?" Si Xinghe was still puzzled.
"For the progress of mankind, the stability and prosperity of the new world, and for the world of cultivation to reach a higher level, it is inevitable to make some sacrifices." Si Xiyou still insisted on his point of view.
Si Xinghe shook his head, "But those are human lives after all!"
His tone was serious, mixed with some pain and regret.
He never dreamed that the person he had always respected would do such a thing.
But Si Xiyou's face still had the same expression of 'I did nothing wrong' just now.
"So I used all prisoners from Huaibei Prison."
"But prisoners are human beings too!"
Si Xinghe's tone became more serious, "They made mistakes, and the law has given them the punishment they deserve. You are not a judge, let alone a judge. You have no right to decide their life or death. Even if they are extremely evil and have committed many crimes, as long as The law has not sentenced them to death, but they still have the right to live!”
"They have made no contribution to this society or the world at all while they are alive. They have no effect except wasting food, accumulating manure, and polluting the air. But my experiment is different. I can use their final value to make them shine. , and contribute to the bright future of the new world.”
"Third brother, you should know how fragile human beings were when the apocalyptic war first began, because those with super powers had not yet awakened at that time, cultivators were rare, and more than 95% of human beings were ordinary people. They simply can't withstand a single blow from a zombie."
"Even though the situation is different now, and the proportion of superpowers and cultivators has increased, most of them have mediocre qualifications. Some even gave up cultivation because their lives were too comfortable, and only used their only cultivation to enjoy themselves. The resources provided by the state are content with the status quo.”
It was rare for Si Xiyou to say so many words at once, but Si Xinghe couldn't listen to a word.
"So what?" Si Xinghe asked back, "Ordinary people have the same way of living as ordinary people. We can't ask everyone to be a genius. Most people are content with the status quo, which means they live a worry-free and very happy life."
Si Xiyou seemed shocked, "Lao San, I didn't expect such words to come from your mouth. People in high positions should look to the future. If there is no foresight, how will we deal with the crisis when it comes? We don't have strong soldiers in our hands. How to protect those ordinary people?”
Si Niannian also stood up, his expression condensed, and his whole body momentum changed slightly.
At this time, she was no longer the little princess of the Si family or Si Xiyou's niece, but the head of Tianqingguan, the leader of a sect.
"If you are in a high position, do you have the qualifications to decide the life and death of others?"
Si Niannian asked coldly, "Birth, old age, illness and death, reincarnation, everything has its destiny. Second uncle, you are also a cultivator, so you don't understand these principles."
"Those prisoners have done many evil things and planted evil causes. The disaster in prison is the evil consequences they have to bear. The cause and effect has been completed, but you appointed yourself as the judge and took away their lives. This is a new round of cause and effect."
"The hatred that kills people will most likely form evil spirits. If you plant such a cause, you will inevitably bear more serious consequences. But you have been fine these years, which means that there are people connected by your blood to bear the burden for you. This cause and effect.”
Bu Chensu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "Brother Mu En has been in constant disasters in the past few years. He has narrowly escaped death on several missions. He has never mentioned it to his family, so you don't know, second uncle, that he The reason why I haven’t been home for a long time is not only because of the mission, but also because I am recuperating from my injuries. I don’t want you to know.”
"Did you hear that? You planted evil causes, but your son has to bear the consequences. Do you really have to wait until you see Mu En's body before you can repent?"
Si Xinghe was heartbroken.
It was not that Si Xiyou didn't feel sorry for his son, but when he thought about his research and the bright future after the research was successful, he couldn't care less about anything.
"If Mu En chose to join the army, he should have expected this day to come. I believe he has the ability to resolve those crises. If it really cannot be resolved, dying heroically in the line of duty will not disgrace our family."
"You fucking farted!"
Si Xinghe was so angry that he cursed.
"The face of our Si family has never been protected by the lives of our family members!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and John and others sat quietly aside.
Si Niannian walked up to Si Xiyou, raised his head slightly and looked at him.
"Second uncle has often shared your research with me over the years, and also allowed me to freely enter and leave the scientific research institute, flexibly participate in your research projects, and often discuss medical prescriptions with me, all for your research, right? ? In addition to the marrow cleaning solvent, I also saw a lot of medicines that I prepared in your laboratory."
"I still remember that when I filled out my application form for university, you were the happiest when you saw me choosing to study medicine. From that moment on, no, probably before that, you were already planning to take advantage of me. I’m here to finish your research, right?”
Si Niannian's eyes were red. She was not stupid. She had already figured everything out on the way from Beicheng to here.
But the more she understood, the more uncomfortable she felt.
I thought it was genuine concern, but unexpectedly it turned out to be an ulterior motive.
It turns out that the relationship between family members is not so pure.
"That's right, you came home when you were 6 years old. When I found out that you had been practicing Taoism since you were a child, and that you were majoring in Alchemy, I became interested. Alchemy is profound and wonderful. I had a hunch that your appearance would be an opportunity for my research project. "
Si Xiyou admitted generously.
Tears finally burst out of his eyes, slid down Si Niannian's cheeks, and fell to the ground silently.
Bu Chensu took her into his arms, and Si Xinghe took a step forward, standing between Si Niannian and Si Xiyou.
"I can accompany Niannian back to her master's door and thank her mentor, so you don't have to go." Si Xinghe said in a deep voice.
Si Xiyou's expression finally changed, as if he didn't expect Si Xinghe to say that.
"I am her second uncle."
"I am the head of the Si family."
With one sentence, Si Xinghe completely defeated Si Xiyou.
This was the first time in so many years that Si Xinghe acted like the head of the family in front of his family.
There are family rules in the family. Now that the head of the family has spoken, even if Si Xiyou is Si Xinghe's brother, he cannot refute it.
"Chen Su." Si Xinghe said, "Send someone to take your second uncle back immediately."
Where to go back
Naturally it’s Beicheng.
What to do when you go back
Naturally, he should be locked up first and wait until Si Xinghe returns to deal with this matter.
Everyone here understands this, and Si Xiyou understands it too.
He didn't resist, let alone refute, but before leaving, he looked back at Si Niannian.
"Although my second uncle has taken advantage of you, his concern for you over the years is not fake. From the day you returned to Si's family when you were 6 years old, you have been my Si Xiyou's niece. You are my eldest brother's only bloodline. I must treat you as a daughter, and my second uncle never wanted to hurt you."
After saying that, Si Xiyou left.
Si Niannian looked at his leaving figure and cried even harder.
Si Xinghe kicked the chair next to him angrily, "It's really terrible."
He was in a terrible mood now.
Click.
The door to the private room opened, and Zhou Zhou and Zuo Qi came back.
"Xinghe, calm down."
Zhou Zhou patted Si Xinghe on the shoulder and didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced at the other people next to him.
Remind Si Xinghe, "There are still guests here."
The fire in Si Xinghe's heart was miraculously suppressed, and he turned to look at Zuo Qi and John.
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
John smiled, "I am just a junior sister, and my son has also become a disciple of the junior junior sister. After all, we are not outsiders. Don't worry, Mr. Si, even if this matter gets rotten in my stomach today, I will not I won’t say a word to others.”
After all, the stakes were high. If the Si family's century-old reputation could be ruined in one go, John still knew the importance.
Zuo Qi didn't care so much, "Several members of my personal guard are missing. Judging from the clues we have so far, they were probably captured and used as white mice by the secret laboratory of the director of the department. They all followed me." For someone who has been with us for decades or even hundreds of years, the Third Master will not let this matter go unanswered just because he is your second brother, right? "
