Chapter 526 Unaware of the Truth, Lost in Thoughts
The moment Ning Chen saw Ning Yao, he immediately retracted all his barbs, becoming as obedient as a cat meeting its owner.
“Mom.” Ning Chen walked up to Ning Yao and looked down at his mother.
The bodyguards who had just fought with Ning Chen were stunned. Was this the same man who had exuded a menacing aura just moments before?
Ning Yao never expected that the person who broke into Ning Moran's son's experimental base would be her other son, Ning Chen, and that Ning Chen would bring people from the Huo family with him. Was there some misunderstanding?
Before Ning Yao could think further, she noticed the wounds on Ning Chen's face. There were some bruises on his cheekbones, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Overwhelmed with heartache for her son, Ning Yao disregarded everything else and quickly took Ning Chen's hand, gently touching his face with her palm. She asked with concern, "How did you get hurt? Who hit you?"
Seeing Ning Yao's incredibly gentle tone, Ning Chen wanted to give her a smile, but it only aggravated the wound on the corner of his mouth, making his smile look worse than a cry.
Ning Yao was extremely nervous and immediately grabbed Ning Chen's hand and headed into the base.
As she walked, the young woman gave instructions to the assistant who had come out of the base with her.
"Assistant Liu, you should have some spare wound medicine here, right? I'll take my son into the base to treat his wounds. I'll talk to Ranran about it later. Don't worry about me, just take me with you."
"Okay, okay." Assistant Liu couldn't wait to resolve the conflict here. On one side were the bodyguards from their experimental base, and on the other side were the Huo family. He was caught in the middle and really had a hard time. The sooner he left, the better.
"No need for medicine, it's just a minor injury, it'll heal quickly. I've always had a good healing ability." Ning Chen spoke to Ning Yao in a soft voice, his tone very gentle, as if speaking loudly would frighten Ning Yao.
A bruise and bleeding, is that considered a minor injury?
Even a simple cold or sneezing from her precious son is a major concern for Ning Yao!
Ning Yao glanced at Ning Chen without saying a word, her attitude very forceful. The man immediately cowered, obediently lowered his head, and followed Ning Yao into the base.
Upon entering the lounge, Ning Chen was seated on the sofa by Ning Yao. Ning Yao then took out disinfectant wipes and used them to wipe the blood from the corner of Ning Chen's mouth.
Ning Chen placed his hands on his knees, letting Ning Yao wipe his face with a tissue.
Ning Yao wiped the blood from Ning Chen's mouth. Alcohol has a disinfecting and sterilizing effect and is very irritating. When it touched the wound, Ning Chen's eyes only twitched slightly, and he showed no other expression. He was very patient.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Ning Yao asked in a cool voice while treating her son's wound.
"You shouldn't have barged into your brother's research facility without even a word." Ning Chen pursed his thin lips, his tone somewhat stiff.
"You think you made a mistake here?" Ning Yao looked at Ning Chen, her brows furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with his answer.
“You shouldn’t have fought with your brother’s people. You made a big fuss and put you in a difficult position.” Ning Chen gave a new answer, while looking at Ning Yao. His eyes were so calm that the injuries on her face looked like special effects, and he didn’t even notice them.
“At first I didn’t fight back. Even when a fight broke out, I held back and didn’t hurt my brother’s men. But when we first arrived at the base, my attitude was a bit bad, and that was my fault.”
"No!" Ning Yao put down the disinfectant wipes, straightened her posture, and faced her son, looking extremely serious.
It wasn't a forced entry into the base, nor was it a fight, so what went wrong?
Ning Chen couldn't think of anything else for the time being, so he remained silent and waited for Ning Yao to continue.
"Try not to get into conflicts with people. If you can resolve things peacefully, then do so. Even if you can't get along peacefully, if you really have to fight, you have to make sure you don't get hurt!" Ning Yao sighed, and when she looked at Ning Chen, her eyes were full of indulgence and tenderness.
"Aren't there people protecting you behind you? Let them fight for you, don't do it yourself." Ning Yao examined the injuries on her son's face, feeling more and more distressed. Her voice became a few decibels higher, tinged with displeasure.
She thought to herself, what's the use of Huo Muxi's people following Ning Chen? They can't even protect Ning Chen, so what are they doing following him?
Ning Yao had clearly forgotten that those were members of the Huo family, not her subordinates.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chen was momentarily stunned, but then a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
It turns out that what bothered her mother was not that he had come and disrupted her brother's laboratory, nor that he would put her in a dilemma between her sons.
What bothered her from beginning to end was his injuries; he had been beaten and hurt.
"I understand." Ning Chen obediently replied, not intending to argue with Ning Yao, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was good.
Both are her children, and even if Ning Chen and Ning Moran did have a conflict, Ning Yao wouldn't let Ning Chen, as the older brother, give in to his younger brother.
While it's true that giving in to the younger sibling can solve the problem to some extent, Ning Yao also knows that if this continues, the younger sibling will become increasingly mischievous and unruly, while the older sibling will become increasingly silent and resentful.
They are all children, the children she carried for ten months and gave birth to. Undoubtedly, they should be cherished and pampered by her as their mother.
She would never show favoritism to anyone, nor would she let anyone suffer any injustice.
The bruises on Ning Chen's cheekbones have been treated with medicine, and medicated tape has been applied to the corners of his mouth.
"Achen, did you and Ranran have a fight?" Ning Yao decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with her son first.
This was the only possibility Ning Yao could think of. If they hadn't argued, why would Ning Chen rush into the base looking for someone, and be so rude?
“I didn’t argue with my brother. It’s just that you’ve been staying with him lately, and I can’t get through to you on the phone. When I ask you what you’re doing, you can’t answer. So I’m a little worried. I feel like you’re being held hostage.” Ning Chen said, giving Ning Yao a deep look.
Just now, after following Assistant Liu into the room and hearing his voice, Ning Chen recognized the man who answered the phone as Assistant Liu.
Ning Chen felt relieved to know that there were no scheming men around his mother.
When Ning Yao heard Ning Chen say this, she first found it amusing, and then felt a pang of melancholy.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't actually know the details of the experiment, and it's too complicated to explain over the phone. I was planning to tell you after it was done, but now that you're here, I'll tell you."
Ning Yao told Ning Chen everything about Wen Qingjia and Su Tianxiao to prevent him from continuing to be unaware of the truth and overthinking things.
"That's how it is. I need to treat Su Tianxiao, but the effect of using the spiritual spring alone is not very good. I need to use a synthetic drug that can interfere with the genetic factors of mental illness in the brain. So I need to cooperate with Ranran."
It turned out to be the case.
After hearing this, Ning Chen's gaze gradually calmed down, and he no longer had any doubts.
He was also worried that his mother would be misled by bad people, after all, there are too many cunning people in this world now, and it's impossible to guard against them all.
Especially now that his father isn't even in the country, if his mother gets scammed during this time, his father will have a lot to cry about when he gets back!
