"No, Mommy will come to see you when she's free." Freya stroked Yuanman's hair, feeling very heavy-hearted.

She thought that when Xin Yao grew up in the future, she would have to experience parting again and watch her own biological daughter leave.

That feeling would definitely be even worse than it was now.

"Mommy, don't lie to me. You must come to see me." Yuanman seriously stuck out his little finger and said, "Let's pinky promise."

"Okay, Mommy promises you."

Freya stuck out her little finger and hooked it with his.

Lan Xiaoling finished packing the luggage and came over to urge, "Manman, it's time to go."

Even at this moment, Manman was still reluctant to let go of Freya.

Lan Xiaoling knew that the two had a deep relationship, but after all, Freya wasn't Yuanman's biological mother, and they would have to part sooner or later.

Fortunately, Manman was very obedient. Although he was sad, he didn't cry or lose his temper. He obediently came to Lan Xiaoling's side.

Freya's eyes were red, and her voice was a bit hoarse as she said, "Xiaoling, I'm leaving Manman to you. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Lan Xiaoling nodded.

After saying goodbye to each other, she took the two children onto the plane.

Until just before the plane took off, Manman was still reminding Freya to come and see him soon.

Freya finally couldn't control her emotions and shed a tear of reluctance.

"Gabriel and Lan Xiaoling will take care of them. Don't worry." Bradley was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed over by Blue Book. After several days of recuperation and Freya's round-the-clock care, his injury had recovered well.

"Although Mr. Lu didn't choose to acknowledge Manman in the end, Manman is such a smart child. How could he not guess that Mr. Lu is his father?"

Freya had thought that Gabriel would acknowledge Manman this time when he came back, but unexpectedly, he finally chose to continue hiding it.

But that was okay. Sometimes the truth was too painful.

Since they were the ones who had raised the child and the child would always stay with them, whether there was an acknowledgment or not wasn't important anymore.

"Precisely because Manman is so smart, he doesn't want to be a burden to the adults. Who his father is isn't important. What's important is that Manman can grow up happily." Bradley put his arm around her shoulder and said with a loving heart, "In the future, Xin Yao will face even greater pressure than Manman. As parents, all we can do is give her a hand when she needs help. But how she walks in the future still depends on her to build a solid foundation step by step."

Freya naturally understood this truth.

Sometimes, letting go wasn't because the child couldn't accept it, but because the adults couldn't bear to let go.

She took a deep breath and smiled at the man, "You're right. As long as there is a smile on Manman's face, that's enough."

After saying that, she suddenly remembered something, and her expression became serious.

"By the way, you said before that you would send Patrick and Mr. Lu to the Zhan Fa family to investigate the situation. Now that Mr. Lu has gone back to the Dark Web to take care of Xiaolan, this matter will be handled by Patrick alone. Can he manage it?"

The key wasn't just that. Patrick was the father of two children. If something really happened to him, how could Madeline bear it?

Bradley knew her concerns and looked at her reassuringly, "Don't worry. I've found someone to replace Gabriel."

"Who is it?" Freya asked.

Blue Book was Bradley's right-hand man. Bradley wouldn't let him be away from his side for too long unless it was an important mission.

As for Ying, he was currently in charge of finding out the whereabouts of Doctor Li and simply couldn't be spared.

Yun Xiangcheng was in charge of the entire medical room. Moreover, since the research of the anti-cancer drug was stuck at a bottleneck, he couldn't go on a mission either.

Freya really couldn't think of anyone else who could be in charge of such a dangerous mission.

Bradley smiled faintly, "Don't forget that although the Lady has been captured, she left behind quite a few people."

"You mean... Xila and Ling Ran?"

"Exactly." Bradley's slender fingers tapped gently on the armrest of the wheelchair and he smiled, "These two are good at fighting. Plus, they've always been by the Lady's side and have had some contact with the people of the Zhan Fa family. So I think these two can carry out this investigation plan."

Freya couldn't help but give the man a thumbs-up.

He dared to use the enemy's people, and it wasn't just one or two of them. He had assigned tasks to all of them.

If these people could really be used by them, it would indeed be more meaningful than killing them.

"Okay, but we still need to keep an eye on them. After all, they were the Lady's people. Who knows if they'll play dirty tricks in secret." Freya reminded.

Bradley nodded, "Don't worry. There won't be any problems."

Freya naturally believed that the man must have made comprehensive considerations before deciding to use these people, so she wasn't too worried.

For her now, it was important to find Doctor Li as soon as possible and determine the real reason for the mutation of Zhou Jing's blood type.

...

Three days later, Ying sent a message saying that he had found Doctor Li's residence.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Ying had already sent people to surround the place and reported it to Bradley immediately.

Bradley and Freya rushed over to meet them right away. When they broke in, Doctor Li was just about to pack up and leave.

Seeing a group of people burst in, she exclaimed that something was wrong and tried to run away.

Freya flashed past and kicked her to the ground, saying coldly, "If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you running?"

Doctor Li looked at them in fear and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you people? Why are you arresting me?"

"Why?"

Freya sneered coldly, "Don't you know what wrong things you've done?"

If Ying hadn't investigated the city's surveillance cameras and tracked Doctor Li's whereabouts, they wouldn't have found this place so quickly.

This old woman really knew how to hide!

Fear filled Doctor Li's eyes, but she held the bag in her arms tightly. Freya's eyes turned cold, and she walked forward and snatched the bag from her.

"What's in this bag?"

"Nothing. Give it back to me!" Doctor Li rushed forward to grab it, but Freya had already opened the bag. When she saw what was inside, her pupils suddenly shrank several times.

It was actually... green liquid.

The animalistic venom?

Freya handed the bag to Ying for safekeeping, stepped forward and stepped on Doctor Li's stomach, and said coldly, "So I was right. You've been injecting Zhou Jing with the animalistic venom and using her body as an experiment?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Doctor Li said guiltily.

Freya knew that someone like this definitely wouldn't cooperate obediently. She directly took out two silver needles and accurately stabbed them into Doctor Li's neck. "Tell me, who are you exactly?"

Stabbed by the needles, Doctor Li's face quickly turned pale, and then she let out a painful howl. "I really don't know anything about the animalistic venom. You've got the wrong person."

Because of the pain, Doctor Li rolled around on the ground. Just then, Bradley's sharp voice came, "Freya, look at her face."
