CHAPTER 774: CHAPTER 779: FATHER AND SON MEET

How did it come to this?

Ling Chen muttered in surprise. Before undergoing the experiment, Jiang Yunkai was completely a killing machine, devoid of any emotions. Now, he’s changed into this state; could it be that he has lost his memory?

"Kai." Ling Chen approached Jiang Yunkai, calling his name.

"Eat... I want to eat... eat..." Jiang Yunkai mumbled hazily, his speech slurred and he seemed to have lost his sanity.

Ling Chen sighed helplessly and said, "Fatty, have someone prepare some food." After speaking, Ling Chen placed his hand on Jiang Yunkai’s pulse to check his physical condition.

After a while, Ling Chen raised his hand and touched his nose.

Strange!

Jiang Yunkai’s bodily functions were all normal, lacking any abnormalities. If so, why has he changed like this? Could it be due to issues with the experiment that caused brain damage?

Thinking of this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but worry. If the brain was damaged, his medical skills would not be able to detect it. Moreover, the brain is the most mysterious part of the human body. Once there is a problem with the brain, it is very likely to lead to dementia, as shown in Jiang Yunkai’s current behavior.

"Fatty, quickly have someone take Kai to the hospital," Ling Chen said sternly.

"Alright, I’ll arrange for someone immediately."

"You stay here, continue to look for the whereabouts of others; I’ll accompany Kai to the hospital."

"Remember to inform me once there’s a result, to put my mind at ease."

Leaving the research base, Ling Chen took Jiang Yunkai to the car and drove straight to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, after completing the procedures, Jiang Yunkai was taken by a doctor to the equipment room.

After waiting outside for a moment, the doctor in charge came out of the equipment room and asked Ling Chen, "Are you the patient’s relative?"

"No, he’s my friend. Doctor, how is his condition?"

"His condition is rather strange. I’ve checked his brain, and there isn’t anything unusual. However, his consciousness is unclear, and I don’t know what caused it. How about this, let your friend stay in the hospital, and later I can ask a few brain specialists to examine him thoroughly to see what exactly is wrong with your friend."

Ling Chen thought for a moment, then nodded, "That sounds good. However, I have a request..."

Ling Chen’s request was actually very simple; Jiang Yunkai must be arranged in a private room, and he wanted his own people to guard him. Jiang Yunkai was too dangerous, and even though his consciousness was unclear now, there was still the possibility that he might harm someone. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

After settling Jiang Yunkai, Ling Chen left a few people there, then drove back to the research base alone.

On the way back to the research base, Ling Chen suddenly received a phone call. The number displayed was an unknown call, from East Sea City.

Upon answering, Ling Chen greeted, and was about to inquire when he heard a voice from the other end of the phone: "Ling Chen?"

"It’s me, who are you?"

"I’m Yang Tao."

"Yang Tao?" Ling Chen was startled, then quickly realized and said: "Yang, are you also in East Sea City?" After finishing his question, Ling Chen suddenly remembered something. Initially, Yang Tao and his brother Yang Zhe had accompanied Porridge Girl to find Ji Gang for a swap, and so much time had passed without any news from the three of them, it was unknown if they had succeeded.

Now that Yang Tao called, could it be that they already have a result?

Thinking of this, Ling Chen immediately asked, "Yang, have you... have you swapped the person back?"

"Ling Chen, let’s not talk about this for now, come quickly to Yunshui Hotel, room 302, we are waiting for you here."

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen found the address of Yunshui Hotel on the mobile map and drove there.

Yunshui Hotel.

Ling Chen took the elevator to the third floor of the hotel and found room 302. After knocking, the door was quickly opened by Yang Tao.

"Brother Yang."

Yang Tao nodded, glanced out into the corridor, and seeing that no one was around, he welcomed Ling Chen inside.

Seeing Yang Tao acting so cautiously, Ling Chen felt something was odd and asked as they walked, "Brother Yang, what’s wrong?"

"Ji Gang is searching everywhere for us, it’s better to be careful."

"Ji Gang?" Ling Chen was shocked. Ji Gang was actually in East Sea City and searching for Yang Tao and the others.

Inside the room, porridge girl and Yang Zhe were both there, sitting on the sofa looking somewhat weak, as if they had suffered internal injuries.

"Brother Yang." Ling Chen greeted Yang Zhe, then quickly went to porridge girl’s side, asking with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"

Porridge girl gently shook her head, whispering, "It’s just some minor injuries, nothing serious."

"Then..." Ling Chen initially wanted to ask if they had managed to bring back his father, but seeing the severity of their injuries, he guessed that their mission had not been successful and decided not to ask.

Porridge girl looked up at Ling Chen and softly said, "Don’t worry, Master has been rescued, he’s in the bedroom over there."

"Really?" Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. He looked towards the neighboring bedroom, his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

After so many years, he was finally going to see his father. Thinking about this, Ling Chen’s excitement grew, almost wishing to burst into the room immediately.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen approached the bedroom door, grasped the handle, and gently turned it, pushing the door open.

"Dad..."

The long-missed word slipped from his mouth, and Ling Chen felt a sting at the corners of his eyes. It had been so many years since he was an ignorant young boy, and now he stood as a man who had faced numerous dangers, relying on luck and his own efforts to get through.

Now about to meet his father, Ling Chen felt he had so many things to tell Ling Kun.

However, when the bedroom door opened, Ling Chen only saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed, his father Ling Kun.

At that moment, Ling Kun lay quietly on the bed, motionless, akin to a dead man, devoid of any signs of life.

"Dad..."

Ling Chen paused, hurried to the bedside, and called out his name.

"Dad, you..."

"Stop calling."

Before Ling Chen could finish, porridge girl’s voice came from the doorway. Ling Chen turned to look at her, anxiously asking, "What happened to my dad?"

Porridge girl bit her lip and stammered, "When we escaped from Ji Gang, Master took a blow from him to buy us time, and ended up seriously injured and fell into a coma. It’s been many days, and he hasn’t woken up yet."

"Why didn’t you take him to the hospital?"

Porridge girl sighed, "We wanted to, but Ji Gang has been tracking us. We can’t stay put; we have to keep moving. We’ve been moving around a lot these days, only arriving in East Sea City today."
