Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Can I Have a Drop of Your Blood? Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Can I Have a Drop of Your Blood? Su Mian took it for granted, “To meet the Qiao family.”

Lu Rui struggled to keep a straight face, “You’ve gone silly, it’s not the birthday today.”

Su Mian was startled for a moment, then realized, “Oh right, look at me, I got too nervous.”

Qiao Yun hadn’t expected them to take this matter so seriously.

Was it because they cherished her that they were feeling nervous about the meeting?

Qiao Yun’s indifferent gaze softened slightly as she explained in her usual flat tone, “It’s not nervousness, just a family gathering.”

Although Qiao Yun told them not to be too nervous, after dinner the four members of the Lu family still gathered together to discuss seriously the issue of attending the birthday banquet for Mr. Qiao Se.

They wanted the Qiao family to know that Qiao Yun was doing well at the Lu family, which is why they wanted to make everything as perfect as possible.

The four people pulled Qiao Yun this way and that, asking questions about the Qiao family–how many people were there, how many children, how many adults… and what did they all like?

Normally Qiao Yun didn’t pay attention to the Qiao family’s hobbies and truly didn’t know these things.

Seeing this, the four didn’t bother Qiao Yun with any more questions and let her go upstairs to rest.

Qiao Yun didn’t disturb their discussion and headed straight upstairs, thinking they needed something to distract them from their nervous emotions.

Once back in her room, Qiao Yun turned on her computer and clicked open the drug analysis report sent by Li Hanzhou.

She stared intently at the report, the fluorescent light from the computer making her focused eyes black and bright.

After a while, Qiao Yun furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with confusion and perplexity.

Li Hanzhou said he had found an unknown substance in the drug, but Qiao Yun was not unfamiliar with this substance; in fact, she was very familiar with it.

It was an element that could invigorate human cells and enhance physical constitution, found only in the interstellar world she had lived in before.

Why would the drug contain this substance?

Qiao Yun’s eyes deepened in thought, and a spark of inspiration flashed through her mind, too quickly for her to catch.

She thought carefully about Li Hanzhou’s words and suddenly seemed to understand something, her expression growing even more somber.

Qiao Yun shut down the computer, tapped her fingers on the desk twice, her eyes contemplative.

She stood up, walked to the door of Lu Zhanxing’s room, and raised her hand to knock gently.

The door was quickly opened.

Lu Zhanxing, who hadn’t gone to bed, was discussing tomorrow’s program schedule on the phone with his agent and was somewhat surprised to see Qiao Yun come by.

“Sister, are you looking for your brother for something?”

Qiao Yun’s face showed little emotion as she pulled out a sharp little knife in front of Lu Zhanxing.

Lu Zhanxing: “…”

Sister, that makes it really easy for people to misunderstand this as a late-night murder.

“Can I have, a bit of your blood?” Qiao Yun’s voice was as flat as ever, as if she wasn’t the one making such an outlandish request.

Lu Zhanxing was slightly stunned, his face full of bewilderment, but he agreed nonetheless, “Of course you can, whatever you want, brother can give you, how much do you need? Is a whole bottle enough?”

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, “Just a tiny bit will do.”

She didn’t want Lu Zhanxing to feel pain.

Lu Zhanxing chuckled softly, “You’re always so careful with your brother.”

He took the sharp little knife without hesitation.

Qiao Yun then handed him a tiny bottle, a very small one, and specifically clarified, “It’s been sterilized.”

Although Lu Zhanxing was puzzled, his unconditional pampering of his sister led him to comply.

He didn’t bleed in front of Qiao Yun directly but went into the room instead.

Qiao Yun only waited for a short while before Lu Zhanxing came back out.

Not wanting Qiao Yun to worry, he had let only a little blood.

Qiao Yun, seeing this, took the bottle with satisfaction and handed Lu Zhanxing some ointment, “Put this on.”

Lu Zhanxing was silent for a while, truth be told, he’d only cut his finger a little, and such a tiny wound would probably heal after a night’s sleep.

Of course, he wasn’t going to refuse his sister’s kindness.

Qiao Yun held the small vial like a precious treasure as she returned to her room, then sent a message to Zhou You, asking him to come over the next day.

When the next day arrived, Zhou You was punctual as promised.

The one to open the door was Su Mian, and upon seeing Zhou You, she examined the fierce, imposing bodyguard–who she had once mistaken for a courier–from head to toe with a curious gaze.

Zhou You felt his hair stand on end from her scrutiny, but he managed to maintain a forced smile on his face.

Fortunately, Qiao Yun quickly appeared. She handed the vial to Zhou You with instructions to take it to Li Hanzhou.

“No problem, leave it to me.” Zhou You assured.

“Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for always protecting Qiaoqiao.” Holding a gift box filled with pastries, Su Mian handed it to Zhou You. “It’s just a small token. Don’t despise it. From now on, I’m entrusting Qiaoqiao’s care to you.”

Zhou You was pleasantly surprised and quickly said he didn’t despise it at all.

Qiao Yun watched Su Mian’s actions and felt a warmth in her heart.

Because she knew Su Mian didn’t need to do this; it was all for her sake.

…

Li Hanzhou soon received the blood-filled vial, and not understanding Qiao Yun’s intentions, he immediately called her.

They had just met the day before, yet he was already impatient to see the little one again.

Qiao Yun, showing no surprise on her face, picked up the call from Li Hanzhou directly.

“Whose blood is it?”

On the other end of the phone, the man’s voice was low and deep.

Qiao Yun said, “My second brother’s.”

“Hmm?” Li Hanzhou’s voice rose at the end, “What is this for?”

“For analysis, along with the medicine.”

“Are they related?”

“They should be.”

Qiao Yun didn’t explain much; she suspected that a certain ingredient in the medicine was extracted from Lu Zhanxing’s blood.

If the composition of the medicine matched with Lu Zhanxing’s blood.

Then…

How did it fall into the organization’s hands?

Qiao Yun reined in her thoughts, some things would become clear once the test results were available.

“I understand.”

Li Hanzhou didn’t continue to discuss the topic, but instead said with ambiguous meaning, “I now believe you’re not avoiding me; otherwise, you wouldn’t have called.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

As expected, he was taking an inch and looking for a mile.

Qiao Yun refused to be teased and decisively hung up the phone.

Li Hanzhou, looking at the disconnected call, rested his hand against his forehead, his handsome face full of mirth.

…

Soon, the day of Qiao Se’s birthday arrived.

The Lu family had been tense since the night before, as it was their first official meeting with the Qiao Family; nothing could go wrong.

Su Mian had even brought out her favorite luxury gown and had made an appointment with a stylist to create a look that was both dignified and understatedly elegant.

Considering that these were the family who had adopted Qiaoqiao, naturally, they deserved great regard.

Qiao Yun, dressed in casual clothes, came downstairs only to be momentarily blinded by the four personages seated on the sofa–aristocratic, composed, and stunningly attractive, each sure to turn heads wherever they went.

There stood Su Mian in a black diamond-studded gown, solemn and regal.

The three men of the Lu family, dressed in impeccably tailored suits, clearly looked expensive at a glance.

Against them, Qiao Yun, in jeans and a white sweater, seemed like she belonged to a different world.

Qiao Yun fell silent for a moment before asking with emphatic earnestness, “Are you all heading off to an awards ceremony?”
