Chapter 537: Gene Rebirth
"Before He Lao left, he left behind a technology called Gene Extraction." Zhou Jihai shook violently: "In principle, this is a technology that can grant a person eternal life. This is what I want, this is what I want, do you understand?"
Suddenly, he slumped into the chair with a thud, his body aging at an extremely rapid speed. In less than five minutes, his face became withered and wrinkled, and his skin aged rapidly.
His head of black hair turned white, and he became an old man of seventy or eighty.
"Ah..." Wang Yiyun's daughter screamed in terror, and she threw herself into Wang Yiyun's arms, trembling non-stop.
Wang Yiyun held her daughter tightly, her expression equally shocked.
What shocked them was not Zhou Jihai's suddenly aged face, but his appearance after aging.
His appearance was exactly the same as the portrait of Zhou Jimin's late father.
"Let them go, Zhou Jihai, if you have any business, come at me, let them go." Suddenly, Zhou Jimin stumbled in.
"Jimin..." Wang Yiyun cried out in alarm: "Why did you come here? Why haven't you left yet?"
"How could I abandon you? If we are to die, we die together." Zhou Jimin held the mother and daughter tightly.
"Haha, a family reunion." 'Zhou Jihai'—no, now it should be Zhou Cheng'en—struggled to stand up and clapped his hands, laughing loudly.
"Let them go, I will give you whatever you want, even if you want my Life." Zhou Jimin looked at his appearance and roared in horror.
"Lao Er, you really make me look at you in a new light. You hid yourself so deeply. If you hadn't transferred assets recently and caught my attention, I wouldn't have found out that you actually had a daughter." Zhou Cheng'en chuckled.
"Was taking Big Brother's Life not enough for you? Do you want to take my Life and your granddaughter's Life too?" Zhou Jimin roared, nearly insane.
"As expected, you knew everything. Tell me, did you see everything?" Zhou Cheng'en chuckled.
"Yes, I saw everything. The night you faked your death, you drained my Big Brother's Life, and then you lived in this world using his identity. I know, I have always known." Zhou Jimin said through gritted teeth.
"You knew, yet you could still pretend nothing happened. Not bad, worthy of being my, Zhou Cheng'en's, son." Zhou Cheng'en laughed. He tilted his head and stared at Zhou Jimin: "This technology was left behind by my old leader, He Lao."
"The name is 'Gene Rebirth'." Zhou Cheng'en muttered: "This technology is not mature, it is still in the experimental stage, but I couldn't wait anymore, so I could only grit my teeth and test it on myself."
"How exactly did you do it?" Zhou Jimin asked, looking up.
"It's simple. I extracted all the genes and Origin elements in your Big Brother's body, then replaced the aged genes and elements in my own body, filling my cells with vitality."
Zhou Cheng'en said with a chuckle: "But the drawback is that I cannot absorb it all at once, so I can only store the extracted genes and use them little by little."
"Because the reason my cells were reborn was his genes, my Appearance is very similar to his. It has been 8 years, and I have lived in this world using your Big Brother's identity for 8 years; no one has noticed."
"What else do you want?" Zhou Cheng'en took a deep breath. All these years, he had never had the courage to learn the truth; he was afraid that this truth would cause him to collapse.
But when he learned this truth today, it still left him terrified.
His Big Brother, the Big Brother he had lived with for 8 years, was indeed his father, and his way of surviving was terrifying—it required plundering the essence, Qi, and spirit of his own kin to survive.
"This Gene Rebirth technology still has flaws. My old leader, He Lao, studied it for decades, but in the end, he couldn't make it perfect." Zhou Cheng'en said grimly: "So I must inject the Gene Liquid extracted from my closest kin on schedule to maintain my appearance after rebirth."
"Now, the Gene Liquid made from the genes extracted from your Big Brother is almost used up, so I can only set my sights on you." Zhou Cheng'en's eyes widened, looking very terrifying.
"I will end up like my Big Brother, right?" Zhou Jimin began to tremble.
"That's right. The Gene Extraction tool will drain all the cells in your body to extract the Gene Liquid, so you will become a Dried Corpse just like your Big Brother." Zhou Cheng'en chuckled.
"I agree to this. My Life was given by you, so if you want to take it, take it." Zhou Jimin steadied himself, and he whispered pleadingly: "But this mother and daughter are of no use to you. Will you let them go? I guarantee they will never mention this matter again."
"Dad, I'm not leaving. If we go, we go together." Zhou Jimin's daughter screamed, holding her father tightly and refusing to let go.
"Be good, go with Mom, Dad will come to find you." Zhou Jimin held his daughter, and large tears fell down.
The family of three hugged each other tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
Clap, clap... Zhou Cheng'en behind them began to applaud. He chuckled: "Truly a touching scene. You family of three, just take this last bit of time to have a good reunion."
"Let them go." Zhou Jimin roared.
"How could there be such a good thing?" Zhou Cheng'en sneered: "The Gene Liquid used for your Gene Extraction will also have a day when it runs out. Once you are used up, won't your daughter have to take your place? As for your wife... Hehe, I only believe that dead people can keep secrets."
"Zhou Cheng'en, you lunatic! I am your son, she is your granddaughter! For your own sake, you don't even care about your own children and grandchildren?" Zhou Jimin shrieked.
"Haha, why should I care about you?" Zhou Cheng'en laughed loudly: "A person must still consider themselves. Don't worry, your family of three will soon be reunited underground."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and two bodyguards behind him stepped forward and pinned Zhou Jimin down.
Zhou Jimin collapsed to the ground, and he screamed in terror.
"Alright, this farce should come to an end now." Just at this moment, a low voice came from the entrance of the villa.
The two bodyguards at the door stiffened and collapsed to the ground. Immediately after, Chen Yu walked in from the entrance.
"It's you, it's you little brat?" Seeing Chen Yu, Zhou Cheng'en's expression changed drastically.
Two Silver Needles flew past, and with two 'puff' sounds, the two bodyguards pinning Zhou Jimin collapsed to the ground. Zhou Jimin broke free, and he hurriedly ran to the side to hold his wife and daughter.
"I have already cleared the area outside. Leave immediately, someone is there to meet you." Chen Yu said indifferently.
"Mr. Chen, your great kindness, I will never forget it in this lifetime." Zhou Jimin gritted his teeth and bowed to Chen Yu.
"Alright, go first. I still have some things to discuss with this old thief." Chen Yu smiled.
"Let's go." Knowing he couldn't help, Zhou Jimin hurriedly took his wife and daughter and left.
Inside the room, only Chen Yu and Zhou Cheng'en remained.
"Zhou Cheng'en, it really is you." Chen Yu took out a photo and threw it on the ground; it was a photo of Zhou Cheng'en.
