Jessica wanted to include her own gene cells among the ninety-four randomly selected ones.
This was, in a way, her further personal participation in the "Finding Friends" experiment.
"Of course!"
Price beamed. "Esteemed Madam, to have your esteemed gene sample participate in the game of Original 209 finding friends, it is indeed the greatest honor for the host of Original 209."
He paused.
Price offered a high-quality compliment: "Perhaps, the Original 209 cells will worship your cells."
Haha.
Jessica was very pleased with the flattery and smiled, pursing her lips.
Under Price's personal guidance, Jessica began the "Finding Friends" experiment herself.
Her gene sample could be quickly extracted with a sterile needle prick on her finger.
In reality,
From the moment Jessica was born, her gene sample had been collected and stored in a gene bank created by the Rhodes family.
It was just a small prick, no need to retrieve it from the gene bank.
Soon,
The gene cells of Jessica, Su Ziyu, and the other six individuals, along with ninety-three other randomly selected cells, were all concentrated in a special liquid.
On the computer screen beside them, using specialized software, one hundred cells were enlarged to the size of soybeans and appeared on the screen.
To differentiate these cells, each was assigned a unique number.
Jessica was so distinguished—
She unceremoniously replaced Su Ziyu, who was originally number one.
Su Ziyu and Dai Paipai and the other five individuals were numbered from 2 to 7.
The other ninety-three gene cells were randomly numbered from 8 to 100.
With everything prepared, Dr. Price carefully placed the cultured Original 209 cells within the "archipelago of cell islands."
The computer screen began to display—
The Original 209 cells moved around joyfully, beginning to search for those it knew.
Soon, it found cell number three, Dai Paipai's.
Then Jessica saw Dai Paipai's cell begin to emit a faint but clearly visible fluorescence.
However, before this, Original 209 had shown no reaction when passing by other cells.
"It's truly magical."
Seeing this with her own eyes, Jessica couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
She subconsciously scanned the screen for her own cell, number one.
Even though she knew—
Her own cell number one, like the other ninety-three randomly selected cells, was just a passing stranger to Original 209.
To enhance the performance, Price deliberately placed Su Ziyu's cell the furthest away from Original 209.
On the screen, 209 moved slowly towards Su Ziyu's cell like a tadpole.
It passed by the randomly selected cells without any pause.
But it would pause when encountering numbers 3 to 7.
Only after these five cells lit up would the original cell continue its journey towards Su Ziyu's cell.
Indeed!
Jessica saw on the screen that when the original cell encountered Shen Yun's cell, number 5, it not only paused but also caused Shen Yun's cell to glow, its fluorescence gradually turning red.
Dr. Price said proudly, "Esteemed Madam, do you see?"
"I do. It's truly magical."
Jessica nodded again, filled with emotion.
"Now, Original 209 has found five friends among the one hundred cells. One of them has even been bestowed with new life by it."
Price continued, "Therefore, it will no longer pay attention to any other cell, but will head directly to Su Ziyu's cell without any pause."
Before he finished speaking—
Dr. Price's face was slapped hard by the Original 209 cell!
Because Original 209 stopped its joyful journey for the sixth time.
It stopped in front of cell number one!!
And cell number one, remarkably, was that of the esteemed Madam, Jessica.
Even more crucially—
The cell numbered one on the computer screen was rapidly glowing.
Gradually turning into the same red light as Shen Yun's cell!!!
Witnessing this, Dr. Price's eyeballs nearly bulged out of his sockets, his face ashen with disbelief.
He could swear to God—
The experiment of Original 209 finding friends would not have any accidents or errors.
Then—
How could Original 209 have found the esteemed Madam?
And made the esteemed Madam first emit a faint fluorescence like Dai Paipai and the others, and then turn red like Shen Yun's cell!?
Unless—
The esteemed Madam had already become Li Qianfan's woman!
And had made the esteemed Mr. Jin Luode a proud father-to-be!!
Time—
At this moment, it seemed to stop.
There was no sound in Dr. Price's office.
But the Original 209 cell on the screen, after a brief intimacy with the esteemed Madam, continued its journey towards Su Ziyu, who was furthest away.
Then, under the unconscious gaze of Jessica and Price, the two cells gradually merged into one.
The Original 209 cell, upon merging with Su Ziyu's, abruptly halted its endless fission.
Everything was over.
The cells of Dai Paipai and the other four consistently emitted a faint and clear fluorescence.
But Shen Yun's and Jessica's cells radiated a red light symbolizing joy and celebration (which was, in fact, positive).
How long had it been?
A century, or a hundred thousand years?
Jessica finally regained consciousness and slowly turned her neck to look at Price.
Price had already woken up. His face was pale, his eyes vacant, and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.
If there were such things as "regret pills" available besides emergency contraceptives,
If there were.
Dr. Price would have paid everything short of his life to obtain one!
Why on earth, for no reason, had Dr. Price invited the esteemed Madam to play this "Finding Friends" game?
And the result was that Li Qianfan had found the esteemed Madam among one hundred people, and she had glowed with a celebratory red light.
The esteemed Madam glowing red proved that the esteemed Mr. Jin Luode's head was radiating a dazzling shade of green.
This green light was bestowed upon him by Li Qianfan.
"Elimination"—
This word, like a demon, clutched Dr. Price's throat tightly!!
Within the oldest and most established elite families in the world, there were countless ugly secrets, but they absolutely could not be known.
Whoever knew them would die!!!
"Dr. Price, has there been any error in this experiment?"
Jessica looked calmly at Price for a full three minutes before asking in a light tone.
An error in the experiment?
Absolutely not!
Because every one of our experiments is incredibly rigorous.
Price was about to say this, but then he immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, yes! There must have been an error. Heh, hehe. The coding was wrong."
He thought.
Jessica wanted to gloss over the matter by using the excuse of an experimental error.
In fact,
Even if Price were to be beaten to death, he would never believe that Li Qianfan had gifted Mr. Jin Luode such an environmentally friendly hat.
After all,
From any perspective, Li Qianfan and Jessica were parallel lines that would never intersect in this lifetime.
Jessica, however, said, "Let's redo the experiment. This time, my cell number will be random."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Price nodded repeatedly, saying, "Perhaps, Original 209 is just highly sensitive to numbers one through six."
He prayed to God that Li Qianfan would make the Madam light up red because she was sensitive to numbers one through six.
Random.
It must be random!
Jessica's random number was 47.
This number held no significance; it was simply a designation.
Then, the second "Finding Friends" game began.
And then—
Number 47, along with the also randomly selected number 25 (Shen Yun), once again radiated red light!
Again!!
After four of the most meticulous experiments, regardless of the random number Jessica drew, she would, like Shen Yun, turn a celebratory red.
Dr. Price despaired.
He could swear to God that the esteemed, even great, Madam had indeed been carried away by Li Qianfan.
Thump.
Dr. Price knelt heavily before the Madam, trembling all over, and kissed her high heels with his lips.
Jessica looked down at the quivering Dr. Price, her expression shifting from one mood to another.
After a long while, she asked, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Nonsense!
Who would want to die!?
Dr. Price immediately raised his hands to the sky and said hoarsely, "I swear to God. For the rest of my life, I will obey only the Madam's commands."
"You had better remember that."
Jessica said indifferently, "After all, your three grandchildren are currently living very happily. Get up."
Dr. Price finally breathed a long sigh of relief and hastily and carefully got up, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Jessica's expression was indifferent.
At least, that's how it appeared on the surface.
She walked back and forth for a few circles before asking, "Dr. Price, all these years you have been secretly cultivating superior breeds for my husband, hoping that one day these superior breeds would take root and sprout. But countless experiments have failed due to genetic defects. Isn't that right?"
Yes.
Yes, yes—
After nodding repeatedly, Dr. Price suddenly understood. "Esteemed Madam. Tonight, I have finally cultivated a successful superior breed! However, this superior breed borrowed genes from Original 209. Therefore, the Madam's offspring may also possess half of Original 209's genes. In other words, the little prince or princess the Madam gives birth to in the future might be a hybrid. I need to consult Mr. Jin Luode repeatedly on whether to use this superior breed." https:/
Jessica smiled.
She even raised her hand and gently patted Dr. Price's shoulder. "Your years of hard work have finally achieved a breakthrough. Not only will Mr. Jin Luode reward you handsomely, but I will too. I don't care how much he rewards you; I will bestow upon you ten million Euros! Because years ago, I was eager to become a mother to solidify my position as the future matriarch."
First, intimidate.
Then, reward handsomely!
This way, she could ensure Dr. Price's absolute loyalty.
This way, she could dispel Dr. Price's fear of being silenced.
This move.
Jessica played it with exceptional skill.
Dr. Price was overjoyed and bowed deeply. "Thank you for your grace, Madam. Later this evening, I will report the good news of cultivating the superior breed to the esteemed Mr. Jin Luode."
Mhm.
Jessica gave a faint hum and turned, walking quickly out the door.
She went to her fifth-floor bedroom in the ancient castle.
Gazing out at the sea, her left hand gently caressed her lower abdomen.
She smiled sinisterly, "Mr. Fanyang, so you are Li Qianfan."
