Chapter 365: Chapter 365 Do Not Hide Anything From Me
Major General Fu Xing would surely hate her for this, wouldn’t he?
Lin Fu shivered and suddenly felt a pain in her head.
Lin Qingfeng’s response shattered her unrealistic fantasies.
“Why did I risk changing my appearance then?” Lin Fu asked sharply, realizing something was amiss. She suddenly remembered that she had been receiving comprehensive medical examinations and treatment from Ji Mian. So, was her body not as problem-free as Ji Mian had claimed?
“It’s not about changing appearance, it’s genetic modification.” Lin Qingfeng explained affectionately to his noble Princess what genetic modification involved, its side effects, and added, “I presume Major General Fu Xing is aware you’ve undergone genetic modification.”
“He knows, no wonder… no wonder he suddenly became more proactive…”
“Your Highness? Are you alright?”
Lin Fu struggled to wave her hand, “Continue, don’t hide anything from me.”
Lin Fu had also realized that she must have highly trusted Lin Qingfeng before her memory loss, otherwise she wouldn’t have entrusted her amnesiac self to him, effectively putting her life in his hands. Since he was someone she trusted before losing her memory, she chose to trust him now as well.
“The genetic modification was done by Princess Evelyn and people from the Lost Association. You pretended to be outmaneuvered and fell into their hands. Oh, the person who betrayed you was me, but I did it under your command to gain the trust of the Lost Association.”
“You set a target for Princess Evelyn while I fanned the flames on the side. After successfully retrieving you with your memory altered, I took the Purple Wish Token to contact Major General Fu Xing himself to request a marriage alliance. On the other hand, once you married into the Fu Family, I could manipulate you to do anything. You would become her most useful pawn.”
“So that’s why she and Xiling stayed on Capital Star?”
“Correct, according to the plan she would capture me and use me to threaten you. However, I disappeared the moment you set foot on Capital Star, and she lost her leverage over you.”
After pondering for a moment and organizing Lin Qingfeng’s words in her mind, Lin Fu gestured, “I understand, now answer me two questions.”
“First, am I crazy? To go through the trouble of using my own body for a genetic modification surgery? Isn’t this courting death?”
“There are reasons. The Purple Wish Token is too important. You know the Fu Family acknowledges only the person with the wish token. You couldn’t trust anyone else with the token you had struggled so much to obtain. You are well aware of the Fu Family’s power, which is capable of releasing anyone from control, and no one can resist such a potent lure of power. You had to come in person.”
“Princess Evelyn isn’t aware, and if she knew, she wouldn’t let you marry into the alliance. Also, there’s another most important reason — your body was on the verge of collapsing, and if the genetic modification could help you endure, it might alleviate the pain and suffering brought by the genetic disease.”
Lin Fu subconsciously shrank her body, as if recalling the bone-deep agony.
“A genetic illness? I have a genetic illness?” Lin Fu knew this condition well. In the interstellar era, medicine had evolved to an extreme. Cancer had long been overcome, but there were still incurable diseases. The most common were genetic diseases, caused by sub-optimal gene enhancements.
There were also various terrifying viruses with extremely high mortality rates.
