Hearing Nameless Elder and Ji Hanyu say this, Bai Haoxue looked at Ji Hanyu worriedly: "There’s only one dose of the antidote left, and the month is almost halfway through. We need to get out before then."Otherwise, if Ji Hanyu, who might relapse due to the virus, were controlled by them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You’ve all come in, and you still think you can get out? Aren’t you a bit too confident and naive?"
Suddenly, Number Three’s voice echoed in the pitch-black cell.
Nameless Elder looked at Bai Haoxue in confusion, "Confident, naive, aren’t those positive words? Why would he use positive words on you? It doesn’t make sense!"
Bai Haoxue: "..."
This old man is truly a "treasure of an old child at heart."
Bai Haoxue, "Maybe, he just didn’t do well in language studies."
Nameless Elder looked at Number Three, "You, kid, always wearing a mask. Are you really that afraid of the light or being seen by others?"
Number Three sneered, "Nameless Elder, we’ve actually been looking for you for a long time.
But when we got to your home in Yiqing County, it was empty.
You always managed to leave just before we arrived. I must say, you’re really impressive!"
Bai Haoxue looked at Nameless Elder with a mix of surprise and astonishment.
So, this was why Nameless Elder entrusted the Little Wolf Child to them for care.
Because he knew these people would come for him, and if Nameless Elder wasn’t willing to comply, they would use the Little Wolf Child to threaten him.
Of course, the reasons Nameless Elder mentioned in his letter were also factors.
Presumably, they sought Nameless Elder due to his achievements in medicine.
After all, they’ve hit a bottleneck in their research on the JX Virus.
"What do you want with me?" Nameless Elder lay down on the hard plank bed as if ready to sleep, "I’m just an old guy. I don’t know anything about you unsavory folks."
"Nameless Elder, stop pretending to be clueless."
Number Three glanced at the Little Wolf Child, "Though I must say, you’re quite swift, sending your little grandson to be raised by Ji Hanyu. We really didn’t find him."
Nameless Elder was the type to fend for himself without burdening others.
It was impossible for outsiders to gauge his abilities, as he always managed to surprise everyone.
However, in recent years, he suddenly had a weakness.
And that was the little boy in front of him.
Nameless Elder would do anything for this little boy.
So, to control Nameless Elder, this little boy was crucial.
But they searched for a long time without finding him.
Unexpectedly, he sent the little boy to Snowfield Manor.
Snowfield Manor is a place outsiders can’t enter or investigate.
Moreover, they never imagined Ji Hanyu and Bai Haoxue would be so familiar with Nameless Elder.
"Hey..." Nameless Elder immediately sat up from the bed, pointing at the masked Number Three, "Masked one, I’m telling you, don’t even think of laying a hand on my Wolf Child, or I’ll..."
Number Three snorted, "Or what? I think you haven’t fully realized your current predicament!
Right now, you’re my captives, and you have no choice but to face whatever I decide."
Nameless Elder said, "Or I’ll be a person who acknowledges no kin.
So don’t push me, because when I turn my back on the world, I’m no longer human."
Number Three: "..."
Little Wolf Child: "..."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
