Rebirth: Once Again With You

Chapter 422 Please Use My Body As You Deem Fit!

"The reason we need you here is simple. We need you to spill some blood for us."

"Come again?" The sudden request dumbfounded Li Caiyi. She thought she had misheard him.

"It's just as I said. We need your blood sample to conduct further research. Actually, this is Kong's idea."

"But why?"

"I have told you this before, but there is no guarantee that your sister is the only one who drinks that medicine. However, it was merely speculation without proof, so we thought, why not invite you here so Kong can take some of your blood and prove us right or wrong."

Li Caiyi recalled he ever said something like that. She didn't expect him to bring her down here so he could take some of her blood.

If she hadn't known better, she probably would have freaked out because this situation was one of the 'mad scientist' immoral acts she had in mind.

"By 'little amount', how little is that?"

Detective Tang looked at Chu Kong. While the latter said nothing, the avatar seemed to completely understand his mind.

"Just a small pack of blood will do. Don't worry, Kong will handle it nicely for you. You only need to sit tight and slice your flesh to offer your blood to him."

"The way you say it sounds ominous. Please stop that." Li Caiyi rebuked him, and Detective Tang smiled innocently, pretending not to understand what she was talking about.

"But will that even help with our current situation? I mean, you may very well not find anything by researching my blood. What will you do then?"

"Kong has his own thoughts regarding this matter. He said there are three possibilities for the test result." Detective Tang pointed out his three fingers to emphasize his point.

"First, that you are as normal as other humans out there. Your father didn't give the medicine to you, and you grow up properly as you should."

Li Caiyi listened attentively.

"Second, your father gave you the medicine, but it didn't give the same effect as he expected. From this, either he thought that experimenting with your sister would show him more results, so he gave up on you, or the medicine probably had some effect on you, only in a way he hadn't expected, so he didn't notice it."

That was a reasonable assumption. Li Caiyi pondered over both possibilities while waiting for Detective Tang to finish his explanation.

"The last one is actually the option we would like to bet our everything into."

"What is that?" Li Caiyi asked curiously.

"The third possibility is that your father gave you medicine, but your body naturally rejected it, making you immune to that medicine."

Li Caiyi stared at him in astonishment. She quickly put the two together and formed a conclusion in her head.

"Don't tell me, you want to see if my blood can be used to nullify the effect of that medicine."

Detective Tang nodded. "Not exactly using your blood itself. To be precise, Kong thinks we can probably analyze the component in your blood and use that as the starting point for creating the counter-medicine."

Li Caiyi abruptly stood up from her seat. Her eyes were brimming with excitement and determination. She walked up to Chu Kong and held both of his hands tightly, startling the quiet and reserved man.

"Mr. Chu! You can take my blood as much as you want! Or better yet, please use my body as you see fit!"

Chu Kong couldn't react, while Detective Tang almost dropped her glass of coffee. No one knew what Chu Kong was thinking, but the other man was clearly dumbstruck by Li Caiyi's declaration.

"Young miss, that is such a dangerous remark you made there." He said after he recovered from his shock.

"I meant what I said! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. I'm ready to use my body as your test subject anytime!"

Li Caiyi was overwhelmed with enthusiasm. After discovering that her bastard father had made her sister consume illegal medicine all this time, she was always shrouded with a sense of helplessness.

There was nothing she could do but relay the information to Detective Tang and wait for any kind of good news. It was like waiting for the sky to rain in a land that suffered from drought.

But now, with Detective Tang's deduction skills, Chu Kong's medical skills, and her blood, they could probably reach something here. There was still a glimmer of hope, after all!

"Hic…"

Li Caiyi could feel the hand in her grasp shake ever so slightly, and Chu Kong also started hiccupping. She stared at him in a mixture of astonishment and confusion, but before she could say anything, he had already pried his hands off of her and rushed toward his laboratory again.

The stupefied Li Caiyi could only look at his back dumbly.

"Haah, see what you have done now? Kong doesn't like human interaction, much less human physical contact."

Aware of her mistake, Li Caiyi let out a short gasp. "Oh no! I didn't mean to offend him. I have to apologize!"

Detective Tang chuckled. "There's no need for that. Kong will be fine if you let him calm down for a while."

"But still…"

"If you go out there and approach him again, you will only scare him further. Next time, be careful not to touch him carelessly."

There was nothing she could do to refute it. Although she felt apologetic, if it would only trouble Chu Kong more than this, she'd rather not do it.

"Then when can I start giving you my blood? I don't want to delay this matter."

"Yep, so are we. Kong has prepared everything. Now we only need him to contact us."

"Contact?" Li Caiyi tilted her head in confusion, and right at that time, Detective Tang's phone rang.

"See? He is easy to scare but easy to recover if you just give him some time. Time for you to offer your blood."

Li Caiyi stared at Detective Tang's back and felt like he really was Chu Kong's avatar. He knew precisely when he was upset and when he wasn't, like they shared a mind or something.

He said Chu Kong was his friend, but she wondered how the two of them met? Chu Kong's personality should be tough to get used to. And even an ordinary person like Li Caiyi found Detective Tang hard to deal with, let alone Chu Kong, who had an aversion to human interaction.

Although she was curious, she decided to put that thought to the back of her mind for now.

Everything related to Li Chunhua should come first!
