Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The old man in the white coat looked at Jiang Xuecheng in a daze. He did not understand why this man was so stubborn towards Su Wan…
Was she worth it?!
For a woman, it was very likely that he would have to sacrifice his life.
Even if he was lucky enough not to die, nearly half of the blood in his body would be lost. After saving his life, his ability would be greatly reduced!
In other words, it was very likely that Jiang Xuecheng and Ming Ye would become ordinary people after the surgery!
If Jiang Xuecheng became an ordinary person, how would he be able to control the God’s Palace?
According to what he knew, Jiang Xuecheng, the emperor of the God’s Palace, did not know his identity. If it was not for the fact that the high priest was still alive, how would he be able to sit in the position that was revered by tens of thousands of people?!
Now that the God’s Palace was in turmoil and the high priest had committed suicide, if Jiang Xuecheng lost his power, how would they be able to convince the masses?
Those nobles in the God’s Palace were not to be trifled with!
Those with wild ambitions were not just from the Siswell family! It was just that Fiennes had acted too straightforwardly and ended up losing his life…
“Your Highness, are you really not going to reconsider? Even if it’s a threat to your life, even if you lose your current power, do you not mind at all?”
The white-robed old man looked at Jiang Xuecheng unwillingly. He really could not understand why Jiang Xuecheng was so persistent.
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was indifferent. He coldly glanced at the white-robed old man.
“Is this a problem that you should be concerned about? You only need to be responsible for the safety of this experiment. If there are any mistakes, I will hold you accountable!”
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s sharp tone, the old man in the white coat could not help but shiver.
He silently lowered his head. He already had the answer in his heart.
It seemed that Jiang Xuecheng was really determined to take the risk his life for Su Wan.
Why bother?!
A hint of confusion flashed through the white-robed old man’s eyes. He still could not understand this so-called “love” at all.
In the eyes of a fanatical experimental enthusiast like him, love was like the product of excessive dopamine secretion. Why would he go all out to pursue it?
…
Jiang Xuecheng ignored the confused or admiring gazes of those people and took the lead to walk out.
Because they had contacted each other beforehand, a group of guards who were in charge of providing assistance quickly walked over to Jiang Xuecheng.
The leader was Xiao Wei, the youth that Jiang Xuecheng valued the most.
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
Xiao Wei slightly nodded at Jiang Xuecheng, the respect in his expression was self-evident.
Jiang Xuecheng indifferently nodded at him, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the translucent glass compartments in the corridor.
“Have all the victims in the laboratory been rescued?”
Facing this question, Xiao Wei answered very seriously.
“I’ve asked people to count. There are a total of 32 people in the laboratory. Five of them are on the verge of death. I don’t know if they can be saved. Although the rest are in poor health, it shouldn’t be life-threatening.”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded again. Just as he was about to say something, a small figure suddenly flashed across his mind.
In the glass compartment that he saw when he first came down, there was a very, very small child.
It was obviously a baby’s body. It was entangled by countless green threads. It was so weak and so pitiful!
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression turned cold, and for some reason, his heart tightened.
“Wait, where have those rescued people been sent to? Is there a baby that still looks very small? Or one that is stunted? One that is very, very small.”
Xiao Wei rarely saw Jiang Xuecheng’s anxious expression, and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
It was as if the emperor didn’t care about anything other than Su Wan’s matter.
“A baby? I wasn’t personally in charge of rescuing. Your Highness, let me ask someone else.”
Xiao Wei thought for a moment and immediately asked a person in charge.
After all, there weren’t many children in the laboratory, let alone ones that were so small that they could be called babies. After asking a few questions, Xiao Wei quickly arrived at the person in charge.
“Your Highness, you are talking about the third glass compartment on the left, right? It seems that only the child there seems to have just been born. The body is very weak, and some sort of fluid is being used to sustain its life.”
When Xiao Wei said this, he couldn’t help but sigh and feel disgusted.
The high priest was too heartless. She even used a newborn child as an experiment. Why didn’t this kind of woman go to hell!
Uh… No, she had already gone to hell.
The third glass compartment on the left?
Jiang Xuecheng hesitated for a second. He looked at the room that Xiao Wei pointed at and quickly remembered that it was indeed there.
That’s right! That child was locked in that glass compartment.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes lit up, and his gaze immediately locked onto Xiao Wei.
“How is that child now? where is it now? Is there a problem with its health?”
He did not know why, but the glass house was translucent, and Jiang Xuecheng had left in a hurry, so he could not see clearly.
However, when he saw the young body connected by various green tubes, Jiang Xuecheng felt as if his heart had been pierced by something, and he felt a subtle pain.
Jiang Xuecheng attributed this feeling to his pity for the child, as well as his righteous indignation towards the high priest.
After all, the child was still so young. Every human being should have compassion, right?
With so many questions thrown at him by Jiang Xuecheng, Xiao Wei felt a little dizzy. He could see that Jiang Xuecheng was anxious, so he quickly answered.
“Your Highness, don’t worry. Although the child’s body is a little weak, its life is not in danger. Currently, its vital signs are normal.”
“We’ve already sent it along with the other victims to the God’s Palace’s hospital in order to check his condition once more.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng heaved a sigh of relief. As long as its life wasn’t in danger, it was fine.
His deep phoenix-like eyes turned, and he suddenly made a decision.
“Then let’s return to the God’s Palace now. I want to go and see it… and the other victims.”
From the moment they first laid eyes on the child, he felt as if fate was pulling him back. No matter what, he was worried about the child’s health.
Hearing this, Xiao Wei was startled. He had never thought that Jiang Xuecheng would pay so much attention to a child.
“Alright, then we’ll leave now.”
…
About ten minutes later, Jiang Xuecheng appeared in one of the God’s Palace’s recuperation rooms.
He saw a wrinkled child lying under the light blue blanket.
The child’s facial features were very weak, its brows and eyes had not grown at all. Its hands and feet were very small, and there was an abnormal paleness to them.
It was clearly such a weak child, like a newborn kitten. However, Jiang Xuecheng could not help but reach out his hand and carefully stroke the other party’s face.
Perhaps this was fate.
Jiang Xuecheng thought.
He decided to investigate the child’s background. If it was a poor child with both parents dead, he and Su Wan could adopt it.
