Shen Wu heard Shen Yue calling him "elder brother" again, so he knew Shen Yue was up to something, and was hatching this little scheme right in front of him no less, so that he was fully aware of it.
Shen Wu had a resigned feeling, and said, "As long as it's medicine, there's always a way to unlock it. I can certainly do it, but I want his flesh."
Shen Yue understood Shen Wu. His original reason for choosing medicine was to cure Shen Jize. Although he had some minor eccentricities usually, he wasn't overly obsessed with anyone's meat or bones either.
Shen Yichen had taught him well, making Shen Wu deeply aware that those kinds of things were illegal and couldn't be done. So although Shen Wu had some odd behaviors, he never broke the law.
It was the first time today that he had bluntly asked for rib bones right off the bat.
Shen Yue thought about it and understood something. "The medicine used on Su Yun'an can help Fourth Brother?"
Shen Wu shook his head. "The potency of the medicine alone is too strong. Fourth Brother's body can't withstand it. But the medicinal properties left behind after this person's flesh absorbs it is just right - not only mild, but without side effects. With some improvements, it may be able to cure Fourth Brother's illness."
This was why Shen Wu wanted Su Yun'an's flesh.
Giving Shen Wu Su Yun'an's flesh directly was definitely out of the question. Once there was a first time, there would be a second. Shen Wu had finally become a little more normal recently. If he felt that he could take human flesh whenever he wanted, there was no telling what he would become in the future.
"Fifth Brother, can blood not work?"
Shen Wu thought about it. "It can make do."
He was about to go find a needle to draw blood, but Shen Yue stopped him.
"Fifth Brother, if Big Brother finds out that you used someone else's blood for experiments, you'll have to write self-criticisms and get lectured again. I think you can restore his consciousness first. After he's fully awake, you can tell him that you saved him and ask him to give you some of his blood as compensation.
That way, even if Big Brother finds out, since it was mutually agreed upon between you two, Big Brother won't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wu agreed it made sense.
Anyway, listening to little sister was never wrong. That was how he had gotten by these past few years.
So that night, Shen Wu and Shen Hui reached an understanding and decided to remove the mental control over Su Yun'an together.
As Shen Yue watched the rare harmonious discussion between these two about the composition of the medicine, his gaze shifted to Su Yun'an.
Su Yun'an had never possessed a self before. It would be great if he could make a truly voluntary choice for himself this time.
On the other side, after Si Chengyou obtained the research base map from Shen Hui, he sent people to investigate and confirm the authenticity of the map information. He then submitted a report to his superiors and officially dispatched a large number of personnel, preparing to capture the research laboratory located in the black area near the border in one fell swoop.
Si Chengyou had a guess last time.
In order to verify this guess over the past period of time, he determined the children born on the dates of Shen Yue and Shen Hui's births within the entire B City area.
After screening, there was no possibility of a second switch between Shen Yue and Shen Hui.
That meant that Shen Yue was not a child those two crazy scientists had stolen from somewhere else, but rather their own child.
They had used their own child to switch with Shen Hui, keeping Shen Hui by their side since she was little to conduct experiments.
These were just Si Chengyou's speculations. If Shen Yue really was those two people's child, then there must still be secrets hidden in the exchange between Shen Hui and Shen Yue.
Otherwise, how could those two have directly targeted and succeeded in switching Shen Hui?
The Shen family wasn't some minor family. Switching children was not an easy thing.
"Chief, all preparations are ready, please give the order!"
"Attack."
That night, Shen Yue and Shen Hui slept without dreams, completely unaware of the raging battle taking place somewhere.
In the middle of the night, Shen Hui kicked Shen Yue out of bed. Shen Yue was oblivious, but Shen Hui suddenly felt like something was missing from her arms and abruptly woke up in shock, frantically searching everywhere.
Shen Hui finally found Shen Yue with steady breathing on the floor and breathed a sigh of relief. She then huffed and puffed as she moved Shen Yue back onto the bed, continuing to hug him as she slept.
Only then did Shen Yue wake up, though he was still groggy. He only reflexively said, "Don't kick me."
Shen Hui stroked the back of Shen Yue's neck and immediately argued, "I didn't kick you. You were dreaming."
Shen Yue oh-ed and then there was no more movement.
Shen Hui heaved a long sigh of relief. After a while, she went back to sleep as well.
The next day, after Shen Yue had washed up, eaten breakfast, and got in the car, he had just picked up his phone when he saw the message Si Chengyou had sent him.
