Yueyue was taken away after all, and Xu An had not yet had a chance to look for her own mother.
Xu Yan stumbled over, finding Xu An.
"An'an, Yueyue was taken away, what exactly happened? Those people just rushed in, didn't say anything, and took Yueyue away directly."
Xu Yan's face was full of panic, with faint tear tracks.
Xu An comforted her mother, telling her not to worry.
Zhou Haimei also looked solemn. She had just been discussing Yueyue with Xu An, but in the next moment, Yueyue was taken away.
Zhou Haimei also joined in comforting Mother Xu.
After bidding farewell to Qin Chuan, Xu An and Zhou Haimei supported Xu Yan and left the laboratory, returning to their home.
After calming her mother, Xu An returned to Zhou Haimei's apartment with her.
Zhou Haimei asked Xu An, "What do you think they took Yueyue away for? Did they also find something out that led them to take Yueyue away?"
Xu An frowned. She was not sure either. She didn't dare to be completely certain herself, and she hadn't expected the people on the other side to act first without prior consultation, taking Yueyue away without even informing her.
"Why don't we call Qin Chuan and ask what's going on?"
Xu An nodded.
This was the only option now.
It was also Xu An's fault for having no say on the lighthouse, being completely unable to get in touch with the people above during such times.
"Beep, beep, beep—"
After the call was connected, before the person on the other side could speak, Xu An preemptively asked,
"Qin Chuan, Dr. Ling's people took Yueyue away, do you know what's going on?"
Qin Chuan's voice on the other end became silent.
"Xu An, I have something to tell you, you need to stay calm."
Xu An had a bad premonition, fearing her thoughts would come true.
If things really turned out this way, Xu An couldn't bear to imagine what Yueyue's future would become.
Xu An tried her best to remain calm.
"Go ahead, what is it."
After a long pause, Qin Chuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yueyue might be the real antibody."
"What!"
"What evidence do you have!"
"Qin Chuan! Yueyue is still a child!"
Xu An lost control. Perhaps it was the days of getting along that made Xu An treat Yueyue like her own sister.
Even though she knew this might be the truth, at this moment, Xu An was still shaken.
Human nature is selfish.
Xu An was no exception.
At this moment, she suddenly thought, what did the fate of the lighthouse, or even the entire human society, have to do with her?
Yueyue was just an eight-year-old child.
She was so young, she hadn't even had time to see this world that, though broken, was still tenaciously holding on.
Despite the ruins everywhere, the cities that still made people persist in living.
Xu An recalled Yueyue's young and innocent face, remembered her clutching her clothes and timidly calling her sister.
Xu An felt a pain like a knife cutting through her heart.
Qin Chuan on the other end was silent for a long time. After waiting for Xu An to vent all her anger, he spoke again.
"Xu An, calm down. We are not mistaken. This decision was made after careful consideration. Dr. Ling has already tested Yueyue's blood samples."
"It has now been basically confirmed that Yueyue's blood has an inhibitory effect on the zombie virus."
"When did you start suspecting Yueyue, and when did you start testing Yueyue's blood?" Xu An's voice trembled.
She didn't know that Qin Chuan and Dr. Ling had been targeting Yueyue for so long.
She now hated herself for trusting others so easily, for agreeing to let them examine Yueyue.
She suspected that what they called an examination was actually a way to use everyone's willingness to be examined to lower everyone's guard.
In fact, their sole purpose from the beginning might have been Yueyue.
Xu An remembered how they had deliberately called her to the office for various tests.
Now that she thought about it, it was probably a planned delay tactic.
Xu An asked Qin Chuan with a trembling voice, "You planned it from the beginning, letting me bring Yueyue back for examination, right? You suspected Yueyue from the very beginning?"
"Qin Chuan, can you tell me when you started deceiving me?"
"When you were with me, did you ever speak a single truthful word?"
Zhou Haimei watched Xu An break down emotionally and lose control, gently holding her and comforting her.
Zhou Haimei also did not expect that Qin Chuan had started scheming against Xu An from so early on.
On the other end of the phone, there was only deathly silence.
However, Xu An seemed to no longer need the answer.
After all, Qin Chuan's silence represented everything.
Zhou Haimei took Xu An's phone and was about to hang up when she heard a sigh-like sound from Qin Chuan.
"Xu An, I promise you, we will not harm Yueyue."
Zhou Haimei rolled her eyes. Without even replying, she directly hung up the phone.
From the moment Qin Chuan decided to deceive them, Zhou Haimei's trust in him dropped to negative.
She pulled Xu An up from the ground and made her sit on the sofa.
"An'an, you need to pull yourself together. This is not the time to vent your emotions. We need to find a way to save Yueyue."
"You also know that those people in the laboratory are lunatics. Yueyue is only eight years old, she can't endure that kind of torture."
"Just now on the phone, although Qin Chuan said they wouldn't harm Yueyue, I think Qin Chuan's words are already unreliable. An'an, we need to pull ourselves together now."
Xu An nodded numbly. Without Zhou Haimei saying anything, Xu An had no intention of trusting Qin Chuan anymore.
If he could deceive her trust once, he could do it a second or third time.
This time Yueyue was taken away.
Then next time, would it be her mother?
Xu An dared not think about it.
.......
After the call was hung up.
Qin Chuan continued to look at the communicator without speaking.
Dr. Ling looked at Qin Chuan's dispirited appearance and immediately felt that rumors were not always to be believed.
Everyone on the lighthouse said that Qin Chuan was cold-blooded and heartless, a person who didn't even pay respects to his own deceased parents for 20 years, and even went against his own grandfather.
But now, Qin Chuan's appearance was clearly that of a lovesick fool.
"Stop staring. They've already hung up the phone."
"It's none of your business, so mind your own."
Dr. Ling tsked twice, her well-maintained face without a single wrinkle.
