4350 The Other Side 319

Alice said quietly, "It is built upon countless failed experiments."

"Uh huh…"

"But, in any case, this boy can't be a test subject. I hope you get that clear."

"I understand."

…

It was late by the time Alice finished her meeting with Romanka. At that point, Gong Fan and Natalia had already gone back to rest.

Leaving the research lab, Alice stared after Romanka and summoned her right-hand man.

"Ricky, send someone to keep an eye on him."

"Roger." The assistant behind her was rather rigorous and asked in confusion, "Are you still worried about him?"

"Not really. Primarily, I've got to be a bit wary of that old fox Romanka!"

Alice was more than a little reluctant to hand over the boy's medical report to Romanka, but at the point she could think of no better solution than that. All she could hope for was that the old fox would come up with something useful.

Romanka took the medical report and locked himself in his room. There, he isolated himself for more than a week.

During this time, Youyou and Gong Fan had manifested in turn several times.

When Youyou had woken up to find himself on the island, he was rather shocked.

Early that morning, Gong Jie was roused by a noise. The moment he stepped out of his room, he saw Youyou standing in the corridor in his nightshirt, confused. The boy looked around, an entourage of servants behind him holding his slippers and overcoat like he was royalty, fearful that the little heir might catch a cold.

Puzzled, Gong Jie walked over, thinking that the boy was Gong Fan. But as soon as the boy turned around and spoke, he instantly recognized Youyou. This was not Gong Fan.

"Uncle? Why am I here?"

Gong Jie was equally surprised, but quickly composed himself. He dismissed the servants and took the cotton slippers and overcoat from them.

The hallway floor was laid with marble. Worried that Youyou might catch a chill, Gong Jie crouched down patiently and said to him, "Extend your foot."

The boy stuck out his foot cooperatively and allowed the man to put his shoes and his coat on.

He tilted his head back, puzzled, and asked the man, "Why am I here? Is this… is this Acklan Island?"

"No. This is the Hurricane Group."

"Hurricane Group!"

"Haven't you been here before?" Gong Jie asked disapprovingly.

The boy looked back at the unfamiliar hallway. Even though he'd been here before, he'd never stepped into the castle and couldn't quite react to the opulent style.

Puzzled, the boy looked around and questioned. "Why am I at Hurricane Group?"

"Uh…"

It was only then that Gong Joe realized, the boy seemed to know nothing about Yun Shishi being injured. He would never have thought at this point, that Yun Shishi had been stabbed and was lying in a hospital bed.

Gong Jie hesitated, unsure if he should tell him this.

However, the boy was extremely sensitive. When he saw the man's hesitant expression, he raised his eyebrows suspiciously. "Did something happen to Mommy?"

"Uh…"

The boy immediately grabbed the corner of his shirt in agitation. "What happened?" he asked nervously. "Tell me, tell me!"

"Your mommy has been injured."

Youyou turned pale with shock. "Injured? How?"

"Have you no idea at all?"

The boy gasped at that. "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly."
