1779 Shangguan Yun’s Background
Shangguan Tong did not seem surprised at all. From the moment she saw the pictures on Huo Yao’s social media, she faintly knew that Huo Yao deliberately wanted her to see them.
Shangguan Tong smiled sadly. She took the cup of coffee from the table but did not drink it right away. “When did you find out?”
“Around last year. I found out that Brother Yulin was investigating you.” Huo Yao spoke candidly.
“Yulin?”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded and continued. “You went to the hospital last night, right?”
“I can’t hide anything from you.” Shangguan Tong sighed. “I’m glad you were around to help.”
Otherwise, she probably won’t be able to see him in her lifetime.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Are you really my eldest aunt then?”
Shangguan Tong’s face turned dark. She did not answer Huo Yao directly and simply said, “I hope you can keep my appearance a secret and not tell your uncle.”
To him, she had already died over a decade ago.
Since she was already dead, she should not show up here and just make everyone upset.
Huo Yao could tell there was more to this and could not help asking. “Why?”
“You’re a good doctor, so you should know my time is up.” Even though Shangguan Tong was smiling, she looked sad. “The people who are still alive are always the saddest.”
Huo Yao went quiet briefly and eventually nodded. “I can stay quiet about this.”
“Thanks.”
Shangguan Tong knew that Huo Yao was a woman of her word, so she chose to see Huo Yao.
“Aunt Tong, you’re welcome.” Huo Yao tapped her fingers gently on the table. She paused and asked. “Is Yun the son you had with Eldest Uncle?”
The moment Shangguan Tong heard what she said, she nearly spilled the coffee in her hand. “No, he isn’t. Why would you think so anyway?”
“Only his blood works with the blood fusion serum. Why can it do that?” asked Huo Yao unhurriedly.
When she made the blood fusion serum, she tried using various other blood types, but only the kid’s blood worked.
From a genetic perspective, blood from direct relatives had a higher chance of matching.
“It’s a long story.” Shangguan Tong put down the cup and her eyes drifted away. “The first time I saw the boy, he was in a laboratory at Mirage Base.”
“Mirage Base?” Huo Yao was caught by surprise. She did not expect the boy to have something to do with the base.
“Uh huh.” When Shangguan Tong brought up Mirage Base, her eyes looked particularly cold. “As you know, those people working in the lab are simply sick. Every year, countless people are selected to become experimental subjects. Yun was one of them.”
She could still remember the first time she encountered the child. His body was filled with needles and tubes and connected to several pieces of laboratory equipment.
He was clearly just a few months old and still an infant. However, people kept injecting him with drugs every day. It was simply cruel.
Huo Yao looked at Aunt Tong. She recalled seeing an unknown element in Shangguan Yun’s blood when she tested it, so she asked. “His blood is special, so he was selected, right?”
“That’s right. The boy has very special blood.” Shangguan Tong looked serious. She paused before sharing the secret buried in her heart for over ten years. “Among all the DNA-modified babies, he was the most successful.”
Huo Yao was stunned.
