1289 1289: The Cause of Jiamo’s Death

Both of them turned quiet as Zhan Lichuan said in a cold voice, “We were thinking that you might be the one who killed my parents.”

El was a little stunned as he said, “Why would I kill your mother?”

“Out of love,” Zhan Lichuan gave a simple reply.

El looked at Zhan Lichuan in shock. He didn’t think that they would know such things.

When he spoke to Jiali about this, El burst into rage and almost killed Jiali. However, after speaking for some time, El suddenly laughed.

He smiled, as if he was proud of his own children.

He felt comforted.

“I loved her. Why would I kill her? If I really wanted to kill her, why would I watch her get married to another man and give birth to the both of you? Plus, your mother was the young miss of the Hess family and she was the one who would be inheriting the family. If I killed her, wouldn’t she fight back? Ah Chuan, your mother was a strong woman.”

Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng did not say a word. They sat down on their seats and patiently waited for El to tell them more about their mother.

“You must be curious as to why your mother gave up her authority back then?”

Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan had nothing else to say.

El quickly spoke, “The gene lab started with my father, who was your grandfather. However, they never experimented on humans, only worked on monkeys.

“This was because there had always been a huge conflict with modifying genes, since a long time ago. Back then, all this was fictional and no one was allowed to modify human genes. Those who were allowed to join the project were people who had been thoroughly filtered and your parents were one of them.

“Du Bo may be the young master of the Du family in Country Z, but he was also obsessed with these experiments. Other than your mother, this was what he loved most.

“Jiamo and Du Bo were both geniuses when it came to these experiments. 30 years ago, they had already discovered things that Hawkins still failed to find until today.”

Di Jinqian was utterly surprised.

She never thought that such complicated things were designed by Ah Chuan’s parents.

She knew how difficult it was to accomplish this, and even when she had the inner-spring, she still couldn’t figure it out.

This was why she never found out who was the one who modified Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng’s genes. It would also explain why all of the people who tried to kill them were hoping to get an answer, by getting their hands on Zhan Lichuan’s blood.

No one would have expected that it was their own parents who modified their genes.

Ed continued, “When the experiment was a success, Jiamo and Du Bo hid the truth. This was because they knew that once it succeeded, the consequences for humankind would be scary. They immediately regretted starting such an experiment.

“Jiamo told me that destroying the findings of the experiment was Du Bo’s idea. She had the same thing on her mind as well, and once Du Bo suggested it, she immediately agreed to it.”

While talking about Jiamo, El’s eyes were filled with love towards this woman.

“Jiamo was a great girl. She had always been the smartest, yet kindest one amongst all of us. She was also the one who was most suited to lead the Hess family. Our grandfather doted on her and had been training her to be the next heir of the family. The effort that he placed on her was much more than what our father had received. Therefore, when our grandfather suggested that Jiamo would be the next head of the family, our father and Eddie got worried.”
