The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Saint Forest Hospital

Uncle?

Cheng Yao smiled as he looked at Zhou Yao hugging the girl in his arms. “You are Xiao Ying, right?”

Xiao Ying quickly stood up and bowed to Cheng Yao. “Yes, Academician Cheng.”

Cheng Yao asked in surprise, “How do you know my identity?”

Xiao Ying glanced at Zhou Yao and said, “Zhou Yao told me before that you were his uncle. Looking at your attire, I made a guess.”

Cheng Yao laughed and said, “Smart child. I’ll leave our Zhou Yao in your hands.”

Xiao Ying was puzzled.

Zhou Yao shouted uncomfortably, “Uncle.”

Seeing that he was getting anxious, Cheng Yao waved his hand and moved on from the topic.

His expression turned serious as he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Xiao Ying looked at Zhou Yao, not sure if they could tell him.

Zhou Yao said straightforwardly, “We found that there was a monkey who we suspect to contain an infectious virus, and our investigations led us here.”

Cheng Yao’s expression was solemn and a little surprised. He hadn’t expected these two little guys to discover the virus and even investigate this.

He suddenly smiled and said, “This situation is fabricated. You guys don’t have to worry about it.”

Zhou Yao asked back, “Then why did you come here?”

Cheng Yao choked and said angrily, “Can’t I be here to see a doctor?”

Zhou Yao sized up his attire, clearly not believing his words.

Cheng Yao was even angrier. This brat was only interested in getting to the bottom of this matter because he saw that Xiao Ying was interested. Don’t think he didn’t know.

If not for Xiao Ying, even if the virus was placed in front of him, he wouldn’t have bothered with it at all.

Cheng Yao sighed and said with a heavy expression, “This is not something you guys have a say about. Go back quickly.”

Xiao Ying nudged Zhou Yao and said, “Then we’ll get going, Academician Cheng.”

Cheng Yao sighed as he watched the two of them leave.

This was the first time he had seen Zhou Yao being so obedient. The saying was true: “Everything has a weakness.”

Xiao Ying said, “Forget it. Let’s go back to the university. As long as the people researching this virus are not criminals, everything will be fine.”

When the two of them returned to the university’s research lab, they found that the virus in the culture tube had mutated.

Xiao Ying quickly did all kinds of tests and analyzed data she collected from the virus.

She said blankly, “This virus has actually become active on its own.”

Zhou Yao also looked at the documents and frowned.

For a virus to become active after leaving its host, this was unrealistic.

The two of them launched a new round of research on the virus, but they found no abnormalities.

Xiao Ying stopped what she was doing and rubbed her eyebrows. “We have to think carefully. What happened after we left the research lab?”

Zhou Yao’s gaze swept around and landed on the culture tube.

Xiao Ying also looked over, and their gazes met. Clearly, they had the same thought.

Xiao Ying walked quickly to the culture tube and touched it gently. It was warm.

She asked curiously, “Why is this tube warm?”

Normally, the culture tubes were made of glass and should be cold.

Zhou Yao pointed to the humidifier on the side and said, “This wasn’t turned off last night, right?”

Xiao Ying looked over and asked, “Didn’t you just turn it on?”

Zhou Yao shook his head.

He touched the outer shell of the humidifier, which had become slightly hot because it had been running for an extended amount of time, and found that it just so happened to be touching one side of the culture tube.

The change in the virus was related to its temperature.

With this in mind, Xiao Ying conducted various experiments involving temperature on the virus.

In the end, she concluded that this virus had the most vitality at 50 degrees Celsius and was practically invincible.

Once the temperature fell below 30 degrees, it would show signs of death.

As soon as the results were out, Zhou Yao received a call from Cheng Yao, saying that they would eat dinner together, and to bring Xiao Ying along as well.

Zhou Yao did not agree immediately. After asking Xiao Ying for her opinion in a low voice, he replied affirmatively.
