Chapter 1045: Half a Catty and Eight Taels (Second Update)

The eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu, was unmoved. She sneered and said, "You said you are Ruoning, so you are Ruoning?!"

"Obviously, our Ruoning was unfortunately killed on that interstellar spaceship. Where did you come from, you liar?!"

"Do you think you can pretend to be our Ruoning just by wearing a human face mask?!"

Zong Ruoning stopped smiling and said calmly, "Second Aunt, it's better not to speak in secret."

"There's no need to use such tricks, right?"

"What era is this? How can you pass yourself off as a real person by wearing a mask with a human face?"

"Is the irregular genetic testing we do at the Zong family just for show?"

Not to mention a great noble family like the Zong family, even the lowest baronial family is very strict in controlling their family bloodline.

The Beichen Empire prohibits gene therapy, but not genetic testing.

On the contrary, from childhood to adulthood, the people of Beichen Empire have to undergo countless genetic tests!
Therefore, there is no market for that kind of melodramatic plot where the wrong child is taken away.

How could a show last for a hundred episodes when the parent-child relationship can be determined by a free genetic test?
Wearing a human face mask can avoid some obvious dangers, but it is impossible to use this method to "pass off as genuine" in a big family and usurp the throne.

Zong Ruoning said this, and the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu also clenched her teeth.

She was actually stalling for time, because Zong Ruoning's recent appearance had given her a great shock and she was unable to react for a while.

Now that she has come to her senses, she has made up her mind to go all the way!
Let’s just break up!
No more superficial family affection...

He put one hand behind his back and quietly made the agreed gesture.

The sniper hiding in the dark received the order and immediately aimed and shot at Zong Ruoning!
The sniper rifle with a silencer only made a slight clicking sound.

A sniper bullet came from a dark corner at the most tricky angle.

Zong Ruoning also suddenly sensed the danger, and with the physical fitness of an A-level genetic evolver, he suddenly twisted his body and narrowly avoided the sniper bullet!

At the same time, his subordinates also picked up the rocket launcher and fired directly in the direction of the sniper!

Completely ignoring the fact that this was in Mr. Zong’s ward!
The small rocket penetrated the wall and exploded with a bang in the direction where the sniper fired.

The sniper who fired the shot didn't have time to run away and was blown to pieces on the spot.

At this time, Zong Ruoning was as fast as lightning and was already approaching the direction of the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu.

Tan Tai Jin Yu is also protected by S-level genetic evolvers.

He took a step forward, stood in front of Tan Tai Jin Yu, and said calmly: "Master Zong, I didn't expect you to be able to dodge a sniper rifle's bullet... I really underestimated you."

Zong Ruoning did not make public the news that he had upgraded to an A-level genetic evolver, nor did he want to make it public.

So I just said disapprovingly: "If you have a second-generation mecha, you can also dodge sniper bullets."

The guard was surprised: "How come you have a second-generation mecha?!"

Zong Ruoning laughed angrily: "Why wouldn't I have it? Don't forget that the inventor of the second generation mecha, Master Su Buyan, is my cousin!"

The guard's mouth twitched, and he said unwillingly: "That's because you have a lot of face."

"But at this time, you should track down the murderer instead of fighting among yourselves."

Zong Ruoning smiled and said, "Really? Did Second Aunt hear what you said?"

"Your subordinates all said not to fight among themselves. I'm sure you feel the same way, right?"

Princess Tan Tai Jin Yu was immediately confused. She looked at Zong Ruoning deeply and said coldly, "This is all slander! I never sent anyone to pick you up, and I don't know what happened just now! Who knows who did it!"

She raised her head and snorted, then quickly left with her people to look for clues.

She wanted to find out how Zong Ruoning managed to escape this explosion of gravitational waves from the universe!

After she left, the elders of the Zong Clan Elders' Council also said goodbye awkwardly.

They were willing to come here before because they thought the father and son of the first wife were dead.

In this case, the lineage of the Zong family that inherited the title would indeed be the turn of the second son, Zong Weiding.

Therefore, they all came to join in the fun, and also to show goodwill to the second branch.

Unexpectedly, Zong Ruoning not only survived, but was also unharmed.

Although the main branch of the Zong family no longer had a male head, it still had a good maternal family, the Su family, who were descended from one of the four great dukes.

The eldest princess of the second house, Tan Tai Jin Yu, of course also has an extraordinary family background.

If she was not of royal birth, even if she was one of the four dukes, she would not be able to compete with the mistress of the first house.

So now she is just as bad as Su Shuangluo.

The eldest wife has another advantage, that is, Zong Ruoning, who was raised by the old man himself since childhood.

The posthumous son of the eldest wife has always kept a low profile. After graduating from university, he only stayed with Mr. Zong and his mother to show filial piety.

Then starting last year, he represented Mr. Zong and joined the board of directors of Zong’s Military Industry as acting chairman, which made everyone realize his abilities.

So when the news came that he was on the interstellar spaceship that crashed in the wormhole, the elders of the Zong family, in addition to their regret and grief, turned their attention to the second branch of the Zong family.

The second branch of the Zong family not only has a shrewd and capable male master, but also a female master who is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess.

The only son of the second wife, Zong Ruoan, has been more dazzling and eye-catching than Zong Ruoning since he was a child.

Now that he has been successfully elected as a member of the lower house of the Senate, he sees a bright future opening up before him and all he has to do is walk steadily along it.

In contrast, it was only natural that these elders began to favor the second branch of the Zong family after Mr. Zong suddenly became seriously ill and was admitted to the medical cabin.

However, when Zong Ruoning appeared, this bias was broken.

Now the mistress of the second house, Princess Tan Tai Jin Yu, has taken all her people away. In Mr. Zong's ward, there are only the embarrassed elders of the Zong clan and the loyal subordinates who came back with Zong Ruoning.

Zong Ruoning did not blame the elders, but bowed and said, "Thank you for your help." "When my grandfather recovers, I will invite you all to be my guests, and I will apologize to you all."

The elders hurriedly said, "Young Master, you are too polite!"

"Young Master, what you said really makes us old men feel ashamed!"

"Young Master, we really didn't know that you were safe and sound... Madam Zong Er sent someone to ask us to come, saying that you had an accident in the wormhole. When the old man heard the news, he collapsed..."

"We are also concerned about the interests of the Zong clan."

Zong Ruoning nodded: "I understand. I know everyone is doing this for the good of the Zong family."

"But the most important thing for me right now is my grandfather's condition."

"Please forgive my neglect. I have invited the best imperial physician in the imperial capital to treat my grandfather."

This is almost the same as serving tea and seeing off guests.

These elders actually wanted to know how Zong Ruoning managed to avoid the accident in the wormhole.

As far as they know, no interstellar spacecraft escaped the cosmic gravitational wave explosion that day.

Zong Ruoning didn't mean to hide anything, he just said: "I was on board at the time, but something happened suddenly, so I went down to deal with it before the spaceship took off."

"I was originally planning to take the second interstellar spaceship back."

"The result... oh, I really didn't expect it."

Of course, Zong Ruoning did not tell Xia Chujian about what he had reminded him of, nor did he tell him about his own special ability.

It seems that his secrecy saved his life.

Otherwise, the princess probably wouldn't have arranged a sniper to deal with him...

She would use a high-level genetic evolver to launch a mental attack on him directly.

It’s just that high-level genetic evolvers, especially S-level ones, are very careful about their reputation.

It's no problem for them to kill ordinary people, but if they want to kill the heir of the Zong family, then I respectfully refuse.

Therefore, if the princess knew that Zong Ruoning had become an A-level genetic evolver, she would definitely find an S-level genetic evolver to deal with him.

But the price she has to pay is definitely extraordinary.

There was no way she could kill him unless she asked her emperor brother for help.

Many thoughts flashed through Zong Ruoning's mind in an instant, but he did not reveal them at all.

He bowed and said goodbye to the elders.

After the elders left, he asked one of his subordinate doctors to come over and check the data in the medical cabin.

This subordinate was Su Muzhe, who was also the one who checked Xia Chujian’s injuries last time.

She frowned and said, "The Duke's condition has deteriorated rapidly in the past seven days."

“The elderly diseases are not very serious, but the genetic diseases have dropped sharply in the past seven days.”

“This is not easy to cure.”

They all know that it is not that the disease is difficult to treat, but that there is no cure at all.

In the Beichen Empire, genetic diseases are equivalent to terminal illnesses.

Hearing Su Muzhe say this, Zong Ruoning's heart sank.

However, he still held on and waited for the chief imperial physician who came from Beichen Star.

He also looked at Mr. Zong's medical data, but unlike Su Muzhe, he did not draw a conclusion immediately. He just frowned and kept operating on the console of the medical cabin, as if he was doing some special tests. At the same time, he was constantly searching for data for comparison in his quantum optical brain watch carrier.

Zong Ruoning did not urge him and waited quietly by the side.

Five minutes later, the chief imperial physician looked up at Zong Ruoning and said, "Master Zong, can I have a moment to talk?"

This requires talking to him privately in a safe place.

Zong Ruoning's heart tightened, but his expression did not change.

He raised his hand and led the chief imperial physician to a small room attached to the medical room.

This small room has no windows and was built according to the specifications of a secret room.

It is not only bulletproof, but also can shield various electromagnetic devices. There is no eavesdropping or surveillance in this room.

Zong Ruoning closed the door and said calmly to the chief imperial physician, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as it can cure my grandfather, I can get him back no matter what you need."

The chief imperial physician whispered, "I know that you, Young Master Zong, are not short of money. The Zong family has been passed down for thousands of years, so you do have enough confidence to say such things."

"But what we need now can't even be obtained by having power."

"As far as I know, even the royal pharmacy doesn't have this stuff now."

Zong Ruoning frowned: "You talk, I'll find a solution."

The chief imperial physician sighed and said, "Mr. Zong's illness is not a genetic disease."

"He's been poisoned!"

Zong Ruoning could no longer control his expression and said in surprise, "Really?! How did you diagnose it as poisoning?!"

“So many doctors have tested it, and they all say it’s a genetic disease!”

He absolutely trusted his subordinates and felt that Su Muzhe would not lie to him.

This is the second update. There will be a new update at 05:00 in the evening!
