Chapter 8 Return to China

A cemetery on the outskirts of Shanghai.

The drizzle adds a layer of filter to the light green spring color of the south of the Yangtze River, and the rustling rain is like a mother's whisper, which makes people forget the troubles of the world and return to peace.

Qingming has not yet arrived, but there are already three or three people sweeping the tomb.

A thin young man, with a rare breed of yellow cat, stopped at one of the hundreds of tombstones in the cemetery.

The photo on the tombstone is a woman in the prime of her youth, with a fair face, long black hair coiled, bright eyes and bright teeth, and her smile gives people a pure and gentle feeling, which seems to be able to sweep away all gloom.

The young man is Duanmu, and the one who sleeps here is his biological mother.

Every time he returns to China, Duanmu's first stop is here, and this time is no exception.

The spring rain was more dense, the breeze was light, the rain was more oblique, and the raindrops hit Duanmu's face, mixing with his tears and slowly flowing.

Duanmu's mother died three years ago due to stomach cancer.

Mother's illness was discovered very late, when it was found out four years ago, when it was already an advanced stage of stomach cancer, and Duanmu was preparing to go abroad with all his might, and it was not until the last few months that Duanmu learned the truth.

Duanmu is a young man, and the road of genius is always lonely.

Mother will always be his strongest backing and the warmest harbor.

Countless boring nights, facing endless exercises and boring books, my mother was always wordless by my side. His mother often warmed a cup of hot milk for Duanmu in the middle of the night, and only after drinking the milk could Duanmu sleep peacefully.

This habit has been maintained by Duanmu until now.

Every time he took an exam, when Duanmu surpassed his older classmates at a young age, he was often happiest with his mother's praise when he returned home, and at that time, his mother was his heaven.

Nothing is warmer than a mother's embrace.

Scientific research is cold, but his mother let him know that there is warmth in the world, so Duanmu's scientific concept always carries the social responsibility of humanistic care.

In the last year of his mother's life, Duanmu felt that his mother's condition was getting worse and worse: his mother was getting thinner, his mother often had stomach aches, and his mother's energy was getting worse and worse. Duanmu only thought that his mother was overworked and had an ordinary stomach problem...... Duanmu later hated himself very much, why couldn't he find out about his mother's abnormality earlier.

In the last few months, his mother spent the last few months in a hospital bed, and despite the care of a nurse, Duanmu still accompanied his mother whenever he was free.

Watching his mother become thinner and thinner, and finally skinny, Duanmu's heart was dripping blood, and it was the first time that he faced illness and death like this as a young man.

Duanmu hated his incompetence, what about being the first in the exam, how about winning awards in competitions, and how about being full of honors, and in the end, he couldn't even save his dearest mother.

Although gene therapy has gradually become popular in the era of rapid gene development, and even gene technology has been able to treat some cancers, this immature technology still has not saved Duanmu's mother's life.

Watching his mother's life gradually fade away, Duanmu made up his mind in front of his mother's hospital bed, and finally changed the project of studying abroad from physics to gene technology, and did not choose medicine, because the development of medicine has reached the limit in this era, and only gene technology is the key to breakthroughs in the treatment of major diseases in the future.

Duanmu looked at the black and white portrait of his mother on the tombstone, and his heart was mixed.

The wish I made at the beginning has been partially completed, and the medical application of gene editing technology that I have studied has saved countless lives, but it is just ...... Duanmu could no longer get praise from his mother.

However, there is another point that makes Duanmu's heart ache, the gene editing technology he has researched is also used by some underground laboratories to destroy the same kind of people all the time.

Duanmu once again silently made a wish in his heart to fight against these evil forces forever.

Catwoman silently accompanies Duanmu, although she doesn't know what Duanmu is thinking, but she understands Duanmu's mood.

Catwoman, before becoming an ocelofe, was named Xue Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu, in Chinese means treasures scattered in the world, and also metaphorically for the lost daughter, this name was given by a Chinese orphanage surnamed Xue.

At that time, Xue Yizhu and the orphans in the orphanage were all called Dean Xue and Mother Xue.

Mother Xue, a lifelong devout Buddhist, spent all her savings to start an orphanage in the United States.

Mother Xue used to have a fanatical so-called American dream, like many Chinese, but the ups and downs of decades in the United States have made her see through the cruelty of the American dream, and countless Chinese sisters have also dreamed of the United States.

Xue's mother's orphanage is located near a red-light district in the United States, and there are often pregnant mothers who leave their children at the door of the orphanage, because Xue's mother is Chinese and a Buddhist in traditional Chinese religion, and many Chinese mothers prefer to send their children here.

Xue Yizhu is one of them.

Xue Yizhu has been smart and clever since she was a child, and her appearance is also good-looking, which is deeply loved by Xue's mother, and Xue's mother treats Zhuzhu like her own daughter.

However, since she was a child, she knew that Xue's mother was not her biological mother, she envied the children on the street who held her mother's hand, and envied others for having a complete family.

Xue Yizhu often asked Xue's mother why her parents didn't want her.

Whenever this happens, Mother Xue will hold the missing pearl and comfort her: "Every child is the favorite baby of parents, some babies can live with their parents, but some parents have a greater career to complete, these parents can not accompany the baby to grow up, but they will send the baby here temporarily, and when one day, their career is completed, they will come back here and take the baby away." During this period, I am your guardian angel and will accompany you to grow up happily......"

At this time, the jewel will be quiet, and she will be full of joy waiting for the day when her parents will return from the great work......

Waiting and waiting, the children and the pearl in the orphanage gradually grew up......

The rain is still falling, a person and a cat stand quietly in the rain, thoughts like spring rain, long and continuous.

Catwoman still remembers that when the orphanage had its first computer, Xue's mother and volunteers showed the children the rich world of the Internet, and at that time, the lost pearl seemed to have discovered a new world, where no one could abandon the lost pearl......

Unlike other children in the orphanage who only play games on the computer, she learned to use the computer to learn, find the information she wants, and even taught herself how to code and learn to break the firewall......

She seems to be born a computer expert, and this computer has given her a new life, allowing her to temporarily forget the loneliness of being abandoned and soar in the world of the Internet.

A spring thunder exploded, scaring Catwoman into a tremble.

Many years ago, on a night of thunder and lightning, a poor and crazy black man entered the orphanage and forced Xue's mother to hand over the orphanage's relief money, which was the children's rations, and Xue's mother would rather die than hand it over.

The black man grabbed the missing pearl on the side casually, and put a knife on the neck of the missing pearl, the missing pearl was terrified, and the black man's hideous face was like Satan coming to the world, which was the shadow of the missing pearl for a lifetime.

Mother Xue took out the money, and after the black man took the money, she bravely fought with the black man......

Catwoman closed her eyes in agony, and she didn't even dare to remember the scene.

After Xue's mother died, Yuzhu left the orphanage and survived with hacking skills...... Until one day, a mysterious person came to the door and said that there was a "big order...... Unexpectedly, from now on, there will be no man or beast......

It's been a long time...... Duanmu saw that the catwoman at her feet was wet, so he lovingly picked her up, helped her wipe the rain, and held her in his arms...... Only then did he slowly leave......

Halfway through, a young man in a navy blue uniform stared at Duanmu, wanting to speak and stopping, while Duanmu also looked at him......

"Duanmu, it's really you, why did you return to China?!"

"Founder! It's you! ”

The two men spoke almost at the same time.
