Min Yu walked up to the bedside and paused before pulling up the blanket.

Huo Yao was wearing an exquisite necklace on her neck. Min Yu pulled it gently and the jade could be seen sliding out from under her collar.

The moment he touched the jade, it felt warm to the touch.

Min Yu was caught by surprise. He did not expect an ordinary-looking piece of jade to have such an incredible effect.

Even the best jade could not do this.

“Are you saying the jade is good to her?” Min Yu placed the jade back under Huo Yao’s collar.

“I guess so.” As Old Madam Yang thought about the past, she could not help but trust Min Yu, so she spoke candidly. “After I made her wear the jade for a couple of days, she woke up.”

When she woke up, she did not seem like a 3 year old and was a little slow.

They simply thought it was due to the illness.

Just two years ago, Huo Yao fell into a deep sleep. After Huo Yao regained consciousness, Old Madam Yang noticed something different about her.

It felt as though she was finally complete.

Old Madam Yang’s mind drifted away. She promptly snapped out her thoughts and said, “Make sure she puts it on. She can probably wake up in about 5 days.”

“Okay,” acknowledged Min Yu.

He turned to look at Huo Yao whose eyes remained closed. It was already the fifth day since she became unconscious.

She would probably wake up tomorrow.

Huo Yao was different when she woke up from her slumber the last two times. Old Madam Yang hesitated briefly before she added candidly. “When she wakes up, she might seem a little different.”

“Different?” Min Yu was puzzled.

“Maybe,” muttered Old Madam Yang.

Old Madam Yang did not go into any further details with Min Yu. She simply told Min Yu to call her once Huo Yao had regained consciousness.

Before long, Old Madam Yang hung up the phone.

She looked at the messy house sitting on the stone steps. After some time, she slowly stood up and went into the house.

She proceeded with her work as per normal.

Fortunately, she had already given the jade to her granddaughter.

Meanwhile, at the laboratory belonging to research team 3 in the National Academy of Medicine.

Yuan Huan removed his work product from the receptacle and placed it in a box with dry ice. After letting the solution cool for a few seconds, he held it in mid-air. It was a faint blue solution and contained active bacteria.

He handed the solution to Prof Gao.

“Here you go. I have made some adjustments based on the data we obtained from the experimental subjects.”

Yuan Huan was delighted. Since he was wearing a mask, it was impossible to see the expression on his face.

“Okay.” Prof Gao nodded. He quickly walked to the side with the solution.

Yuan Huan pondered before following behind the professor to observe the process of adding other chemicals into the solution.

These professors were pure buffoons. Without Yuan Huan’s help, they would have probably never come up with the solution that could alter the human genome, not in ten years.

A look of disdain swept across Yuan Huan’s eyes. In hindsight, he really had to thank the man for breaking into the institute that night. If he did not destroy all the medicine and research archives for the solution, he would have had to find some other way to do this.
