The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant Chapter 1289 - 1289: The Cause of Jiamo’s Death
Both of them fell silent while Zhan Lichuan spoke in an icy tone, “We were thinking that you might be the one who killed my parents.”
El appeared somewhat stunned, replying, “Why would I kill your mother?”
“Out of love,” Zhan Lichuan answered briefly.
El stared at Zhan Lichuan in disbelief. He never expected them to know about such matters.
!!
During his talk with Jiali on this topic, El had erupted in fury and nearly ended her life. Yet, after venting for a while, El abruptly started laughing.
His smile radiated pride toward his own children.
Comfort filled his heart.
“I loved her. Why would I kill her? If I truly intended to kill her, why endure seeing her marry another man and bear the two of you? Besides, your mother was the Hess family's young miss, destined to inherit everything. Had I tried killing her, wouldn't she have resisted? Ah Chuan, your mother was a formidable woman.”
Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng stayed quiet. They took their seats and waited patiently for El to share more about their mother.
“You must wonder why your mother relinquished her power back then?”
Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan had no response.
El continued swiftly, “The gene lab originated with my father, your grandfather. But they never tested on humans, sticking to monkeys.
“This stemmed from long-standing disputes over gene modification. In those days, it was all science fiction, and altering human genes was forbidden. Only rigorously vetted individuals joined the project, including your parents.
“Du Bo might be the Du family's young master in Country Z, but he was obsessed with these experiments too—second only to your mother in his affections.
“Jiamo and Du Bo were both brilliant in these experiments. Thirty years ago, they uncovered discoveries that Hawkins still hasn't grasped today.”
Di Jinqian was completely shocked.
She hadn't imagined that Ah Chuan's parents created such intricate designs.
She understood the immense difficulty involved, and even with her inner-spring, she couldn't solve it.
This explained why she never identified who modified Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng's genes. It also clarified why their assassins desperately sought Zhan Lichuan's blood for answers.
No one could have foreseen that their own parents were behind the gene modifications.
El went on, “Once the experiment succeeded, Jiamo and Du Bo concealed the results. They realized the terrifying implications for humanity and instantly regretted launching it.
“Jiamo shared with me that destroying the experiment's data was Du Bo's suggestion. She felt the same and agreed without hesitation.”
As he mentioned Jiamo, El's gaze overflowed with affection for the woman.
“Jiamo was an exceptional woman. Among us, she was always the brightest and kindest. She was perfect to lead the Hess family. Our grandfather adored her, grooming her as the next heir with far more effort than he gave our father. Thus, when grandfather named Jiamo as successor, our father and Eddie grew anxious.”
