Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 217: Unexpected Surprises

Chapter 217

The Wei Family had their own family doctor who arrived quickly. He set down his medical kit and crouched beside the Archbishop, saying, "With all this blood, if it's a concussion, we need to get him to the hospital..."

"It's not him," Xiao Ya stopped the doctor.

"Huh?" The doctor looked up, confused.

"It's him," Xiao Ya pointed to Xu Ji.

The doctor fell silent for a moment, his face clearly saying "you must be joking."

He looked at Xu Ji.

A well-dressed, elegant young gentleman.

He didn't look injured... though his face was a bit pale.

The doctor finally showed some concern and hurriedly came over to ask: "Internal injuries?"

Internal injuries could be even more serious!

"He... punched him," Xiao Ya gestured, "and then I think his hand broke. Doctor Uncle, please take a look..."

Xiao Ya licked her lips, her tone becoming cautious: "I'm afraid to touch his hand."

The doctor frowned as he felt Xu Ji's forearm, then moved upward, pressing and examining.

"The bone is protruding, he needs to go to the hospital," the doctor said gravely.

Xiao Ya tugged at her clothes' hem and quickly asked: "Is it serious?"

"He'll need calcium supplements, and plenty of sunlight after that," the doctor said matter-of-factly.

So it wasn't too serious? Xiao Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Sheng Yuxiao's little uncle was really hard to take care of!

On the ground, the obviously more severely injured Archbishop's entire body convulsed in pain, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

For a moment, he wasn't sure if these people cared about him at all...

If they didn't care, why wouldn't they let him commit suicide?

If they did care, why leave him lying on the ground?

"You need to go to the hospital right away," Xiao Ya stared intently at Xu Ji's arm. "Bone injuries are very painful and take a long time to heal."

Xu Ji looked at her: "You're not coming?"

Xiao Ya hesitated for a moment, turning to look at Wei Wenqing, who was directing the servants.

She made her decision instantly.

She had to trust the little uncle.

After all, he was an adult too!

"Let's go," Xiao Ya supported his uninjured arm, continuing to use her head as his crutch.

Xu Ji nodded with satisfaction and said: "I'll leave my assistant here, he's experienced in handling these matters."

When Xiao Ya heard this, she felt even more reassured, and looked up to say: "Thank you."

Xu Ji smiled down at her.

A clever child who could take teasing, could match wits with him, and was always polite, remembering others' kindness... truly adorable.

Xiao Ya and Xu Ji got into the car.

While the Archbishop was taken by ambulance.

In the end, they were all sent to Wei Zesheng's hospital.

At the hospital, Xu Ji went to get a cast, while Xiao Ya waited outside to call Sheng Yuxiao.

"I'm sorry," Xiao Ya said into the phone. "I didn't take good care of your little uncle."

Sheng Yuxiao was also a bit worried about Xu Ji's arm, but he couldn't help wanting to laugh: "Adults should take care of themselves, how could you be expected to look after him? The fact that you've managed to live so well with him is already quite impressive."

After saying this, Sheng Yuxiao changed his tone: "I'm coming over to see you both."

Xiao Ya refused: "No."

"Hmm?"

"This is the last semester, and you're very busy with your studies..."

Sheng Yuxiao laughed lightly, unconcerned: "I'm going abroad for university, so this isn't important."

Xiao Ya asked innocently: "Does university take four years?"

"Depends on what degree you're getting, four years or longer."

"So you'll be abroad for a very, very long time?"

Sheng Yuxiao was taken aback by these words. In the circle of rich kids, flying between domestic and international locations was as common as eating breakfast.

So he hadn't considered this question before.

Now that Xiao Ya brought it up, he suddenly felt the distance. It was a distance that took over ten long hours to cross.

Not a distance that could be bridged right after a phone call.

Sheng Yuxiao lowered his face, his expression unclear. He said softly: "I'm coming over now."

He avoided Xiao Ya's question.

When Sheng Yuxiao arrived, Xu Ji's assistant had come with several Wei Family bodyguards.

"We found holes under the statues with strange test tubes inside," the assistant laid out the items on the table.

A nearby doctor glanced at them and said: "Those are for blood samples?"

The assistant was puzzled: "Why hide these things?"

Sheng Yuxiao had just rushed in, still catching his breath, when he turned to ask: "How many are there in total?"

"Don't know, we're still counting. There are too many statues," the assistant answered.

Sheng Yuxiao picked up one tube: "There are serial numbers, which means there must be quite a few."

Xu Ji, lounging lazily, suddenly spoke up: "Yuxiao, do you remember that year I took you to visit a museum abroad..."

"The cloning museum, yes, I remember."

"Human blood contains genetic expressions, and isolated cells can be used for cloning, and also for..."

Sheng Yuxiao frowned: "Genetic attacks? That's been a popular theory lately."

"Where there's smoke, there's fire..." Xu Ji's eyes brightened slightly, he tilted his head to look at Xiao Ya, his tone carrying a hint of amazement: "Xiao Ya, it seems we've stumbled onto something big."

This was completely outside Xiao Ya's knowledge zone.

"What does... genetic attack mean?" she looked around and asked.

Sheng Yuxiao explained: "Genetic attack means using the genetic differences and characteristics of different races to create genetic weapons with aggressive or infectious properties by altering biological genetic sequences."

"These genetic weapons can be effective against specific races."

"They have enormous destructive power, yet the whole process is exceptionally secretive and hard to detect."

"It's very dangerous," Sheng Yuxiao paused, "though in the past it only existed in various literary works, never appearing so close to reality..."

Xiao Ya murmured: "It sounds terrifying."

"It is terrifying, but you've already disrupted it," Xu Ji smiled at her.

The assistant swallowed: "Are we sure about this? Isn't it too hasty?"

"Large-scale collection, numbering, concealment. What else could it be?" Xu Ji slowly shook his head.

Sheng Yuxiao immediately said: "Xiao Ya, call your grandfather."

Xiao Ya nodded and turned to make the call.

The assistant watched her go, unable to help commenting: "This all started because... Miss Zhang thought having these people here was too wasteful and wanted to drive them away."

No one expected it would lead to this discovery.

Aliali: 673ebb12c4f3f33ac4eea08c"Such incredible luck," the assistant murmured, watching Xiao Ya.

Xu Ji interjected: "It started because Xiao Ya wanted to hire someone to exorcise me." He said this without the slightest embarrassment.

Xu Ji then concluded: "So Xiao Ya should be raised by me."

The assistant: "..."

Xiao Ya called Old Mr. Zhang. Upon receiving his granddaughter's call, he didn't dismiss her words like other adults might with children.

He responded seriously on the phone, then made several calls himself.

In less than half an hour, Wei Zesheng's hospital welcomed several high-ranking officials.

The first thing these decorated officials did upon entering was to pick up Xiao Ya.

"Saw you at the last banquet but didn't get a chance to hold you."

"Good! Good child! You're just like your father!"
