Chapter 769: Sister Digged a Hole for Xiao Yize

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Jin looked at Xiao Yize with a stoic expression, her knuckles audibly cracking in the tense silence.

Had Xiao Yize assumed she was indifferent to his abduction of her sister right before her eyes?

Slowly, Xiao Yize turned to meet Gu Jin’s icy stare, the once playful smile on his lips now frozen in place.

In that moment, he realized he might have been too engrossed in his plan to abduct her sister.

Hurriedly, he attempted to explain himself, his voice betraying a hint of urgency, “Miss Gu, I didn’t mean any harm. I simply want your sister to grow stronger. The stronger she is, the better equipped she’ll be to protect herself, don’t you agree?”

Implicit in his words was also the idea that a stronger sister could contribute significantly to the nation.

Gu Jin’s expression remained unmoved as she continued to stare at Xiao Yize.

Desperate for support, Xiao Yize turned to Gu Yang, seeking validation, “And I believe you also aspire to develop your own abilities, correct?”

Gu Yang chimed in hastily, “Oh, yes, absolutely.”

Courtesy demands reciprocity, and Xiao Yize had aided her in communicating with her sister earlier; it was only fair to return the favor.

Gu Yang addressed Gu Jin with utmost seriousness, “Sister, I’m determined to enhance my abilities within the system.”

As Gu Jin directed her gaze towards Gu Yang, her demeanor softened, melting away like accumulated snow, replaced by a warm glimmer in her eyes.

She tenderly reached out to tousle Gu Yang’s hair, her tone patient as she explained, “Not yet, dear. Your hemophilia hasn’t been cured, and it’s not safe for you to undergo the system’s development process.”

Gu Yang nodded in understanding, “Okay, I’ll wait.”

Her hemophilia posed considerable challenges, requiring her to be cautious with any potential bleeding. Even minor cuts or her menstrual cycle required careful attention to prevent complications.

However, with her elder sister’s guidance, Gu Yang felt a surge of determination to one day develop a cure for her condition.

Xiao Yize interjected, “I’ve heard from reliable sources that the Yangning Research Institute in the capital has made significant progress in developing a hemophilia treatment. While accessing their internal medicine might be difficult, I can assist.”

Gu Jin and Gu Yang exchanged incredulous glances, their expressions a mix of surprise and complexity as they regarded Xiao Yize.

Observing their reaction, Xiao Yize couldn’t discern the source of their hesitation.

It was then that Gu Jin teasingly remarked, “Can you truly help procure the new medicine from the Yangning Research Institute?”

Xiao Yize sensed a peculiar shift in Miss Gu’s gaze, but he couldn’t pass up such an opportunity to showcase his capabilities. With solemn resolve, he pledged, “Miss Gu, rest assured. Your sister is like my own. I’ll procure the new medicine to help her overcome her illness.”

Gu Jin nodded appreciatively, “Thank you. If you manage to obtain the medicine, I’ll owe you a favor.”

Xiao Yize’s heart soared at Gu Jin’s agreement. This signaled her acceptance of his goodwill and perhaps, acceptance of him.

With a gentle smile, he responded, “It’s no trouble at all. There’s no need for you to owe me anything. Just treat me to a meal once everything is settled.”

Gu Jin agreed readily, “Deal.”

Meanwhile, Gu Yang, privy to the truth, remained silent but internally amused. She knew the impending consequences for Xiao Yize.

Her silent gaze conveyed a warning to him: “Beware of what you’ve gotten yourself into.”

For Gu Yang, her sister’s well-being trumped any personal vendettas, and if Xiao Yize could assist in that regard, she would silently support him.

Xiao Yize misinterpreted Gu Yang’s silence as encouragement and responded with a smile and a nod.

Gu Yang,

Meanwhile, the SWAT team meticulously combed the river channel in the capital, repeatedly searching the bridges, yet found no trace of the black Singer.

As the river snaked its way from the capital towards the outskirts, nightfall descended, casting a shadow over the wilderness a few kilometers from the suburban area.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the rushing waters, swiftly swimming towards the riverbank.

Bathed in the moon’s ethereal glow, the figure revealed itself to be a tall Caucasian man.
