Chapter 280 - Familiar Recipe, Familiar Taste (Second Update)

Xia Chujian came out of the bathroom while drying her hair.

Seeing Liu Shun in her room, she casually asked, "Liu Shun, has Big Black's doghouse been delivered?"

"It's been delivered. Liu Shun originally put Big Black's doghouse with Si Xi's, but Big Black carried his own doghouse to the utility room on the first floor."

Xia Chujian thought for a moment, "Then let's leave it like that for now. Si Xi's doghouse doesn't have a fixed place anyway. Sometimes he's in San Zong's room, sometimes he's here with me, and sometimes he goes to Aunt's place."

Liu Shun said, "Master, should we tidy up a small room for Si Xi and Big Black? They will have to live separately eventually."

Xia Chujian nodded, "You can decide, Liu Shun. You are a Housekeeping Robot, our butler. It's your responsibility to allocate and arrange the rooms."

A few red lights flashed in Liu Shun's eye display, and it said in a slightly excited electronic synthesized voice, "Understood, Master! Liu Shun will definitely be a good butler!"

Xia Chujian paused, glanced at it nonchalantly, and said, "Liu Shun, has your voice system been upgraded? I couldn't detect any emotional fluctuations before, but now I can feel your mood."

Liu Shun said cheerfully, "Master is right! That Mister Su upgraded Liu Shun's voice system, and now it can express Liu Shun's feelings."

Xia Chujian thought, you're a robot, where would you get feelings?

Of course, she didn't say it directly. Liu Shun was so happy to have the same emotional expression as humans, she couldn't pour cold water on it.

Besides, a voice with emotional fluctuations is indeed better than the previous rigid pure electronic simulation sound!

After taking a shower, Xia Chujian sat down at her desk and continued to struggle with the test papers.

...

In the following two weeks, Mulan City was like a swamp, with heavy rain making it necessary to use boats to get in and out of the city.

Fortunately, after two weeks, the torrential rain finally stopped, and the sun showed a smiling face from the dark clouds, finally clearing up after the rain.

That evening, after finishing a day of online classes, Xia Chujian took Si Xi, Wu Fu, and the Big Black Dog to see San Zong.

San Zong's drainage ditch was very effective. After two weeks of heavy rain, the cultivated land in the Manor was not flooded.

Of course, this was also thanks to the small lake, no matter how much water was drained into it, its water level would not rise.

Just as she was standing on the ridge, watching the sunset gradually disappear, her Quantum Optical Brain pushed a local breaking news.

[Mulan City News Agency]: A major fire occurred in Villa No. 1 in the West District of Mulan City. All the city's fire brigades were dispatched, and the military's fire fighting forces from outside the city also rushed to the city for rescue.

Then there were frames of on-site videos.

The beautiful detached villa area was now filled with thick smoke and raging fire.

Fortunately, the houses here were relatively far apart, and with timely rescue, only one villa was burned to the ground, and the other houses were spared.

Xia Chujian looked at the villa that had been burned to the ground. There were also comparison pictures of before and after the fire online. Looking at it this way, it was really tragic.

Then the news said that the male and female owners of the house, the servants and bodyguards, including the robots, did not escape, and all died (were destroyed) in the fire.

Xia Chujian: "..."

Such a familiar recipe, such a familiar taste.

She had a subtle association in her mind.

Xia Chujian sent a message to Meng Guanghui.

[Xia Chujian]: Leader Meng, did you see the fire that just happened in the detached villa area in the West District of Mulan City?

[Meng Guanghui]: Your leader is at the scene fighting the fire.

Then there was a picture of the scene.

Xia Chujian: "..."

[Xia Chujian]: What a coincidence? Why is the Special Security Bureau there too? I only saw the fire brigade and the military's fire fighting forces from outside the city in the news.

[Meng Guanghui]: Because the family that caught fire is quite special and is on the Special Security Bureau's watch list.

[Xia Chujian]: Who? Is it Ji Jiayi's family?

[Meng Guanghui]: ...How did you know? Who told you?! There shouldn't be a leak!

[Xia Chujian]: ...Just guessing, I know Ji Jiayi's family lives in the detached villa area in the West District. Just now I saw in the news that a family, including bodyguards, servants, and robots, didn't escape, and I thought, this method seems familiar.

Meng Guanghui's reply was a bit sarcastic.

[Meng Guanghui]: It's not particularly similar, at least the people in the entire villa area are fine...

Xia Chujian was angered by this statement, thinking, Isn't it because the people who can live in detached villas in the West District are all rich or noble that nothing happens to them...?

She couldn't help but retort.

[Xia Chujian]: That's a pity. I hope the mastermind will keep up the good work!

[Meng Guanghui]: Are you angry? My bad, I misspoke. Actually, I also came from humble beginnings. I only became a citizen after my Gene Evolution.

[Xia Chujian]: ...Leader Meng is awesome! Let those of us whose genes can't evolve worship you!

[Meng Guanghui]: Alright, I won't banter with you anymore. Anyway, the entire Ji Family is dead. They even went to the school to make a scene before, and came to the Special Security Bureau to ask when they could retrieve Ji Jiayi's body. Now it's all good, the whole family is together, nice and tidy.

[Xia Chujian]: I just don't understand why Ji Jiayi transferred to our school? Yu Wangyou at least made up a reason, but what about Ji Jiayi? It's completely baffling.

She didn't dare to tell Meng Guanghui about Ji Jiayi's unique appearance.

[Meng Guanghui]: This requires further investigation. If they think the case will be closed once everyone is dead, then they are not familiar with the Special Security Bureau's way of doing things. Alright, I need to get back to work. Talk to you later.

Meng Guanghui stopped paying attention to his Quantum Optical Brain.

Xia Chujian also stopped sending him messages.

...

Time flew by, and it was soon early May.

This was Ning Sa's second medication date.

She came to Xia Yuanfang's studio and said with a smile, "Doctor Xia, we'll be neighbors across the hall from now on."

Xia Yuanfang: "..."

She suddenly realized, "I heard from the building manager that there are new tenants in this building. Is that you?"

Ning Sa said, "I bought three floors, this floor, the one below, and the one above. I'm moving my company here. My office is right across from your studio."

She winked at Xia Yuanfang.

Xia Yuanfang was both amazed and helpless, saying, "Madam Ning, you don't have to do this."

"Actually, I'm just doing business." Ning Sa lay down on the hospital bed and said, "The commercial land here has already fallen to its lowest point, and it can only go up from here. Moreover, with Doctor Xia's studio in this building, it will definitely be bustling with customers in the future. I have high hopes for you!"

She was treating Xia Yuanfang's studio as the economic growth point of this commercial district...

Xia Yuanfang said with a smile, "Thank you for your high regard, Madam Ning."

This time, she took out the syringe again and said, "This is considered the third medication. It will still be injected into your spine and the fetus."

Last time, because of the emergency situation and the late medication time, she combined the first two doses and injected them into Ning Sa and the fetus.

Because her medicine directly affected the Gene level, it could only be injected with a needle.

After Ning Sa waited for her to finish the injection, she said, "Do another Three-Dimensional Color Doppler Ultrasound to help me check the baby's physical condition."

Xia Yuanfang connected her to the Three-Dimensional Color Doppler Ultrasound Imager.

On the screen, the fetus was already a very stable human form, not too fat, and not too big, so it should be easier to give birth.

Xia Yuanfang said, "Everything looks normal so far. Just wait for your due date, and after the baby is born in the hospital, I'll give the child another injection within three days, which should stabilize his condition."

Ning Sa said, "My due date is May 15th, only half a month away."

She was also very nervous, especially wanting Xia Yuanfang to be there when she gave birth.

Xia Yuanfang said, "Have you made arrangements with the hospital for your delivery? Is it a private hospital or a public hospital?"

Ning Sa said, "Private hospital, it's Li's Hospital. I've already reserved a private room there, and I'll move in when I'm about to give birth. Doctor Xia, can you come with me then?"

Xia Yuanfang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, notify me when you go into labor, and I'll go with you."

Xia Yuanfang originally thought she would have to wait two more weeks, but on Friday night of this week, Ning Sa sent her a hospital address with the message: My water broke, and I'm being admitted to prepare for delivery.

This was more than a week early.

It wasn't exactly premature, because the due date wasn't very accurate to begin with, especially for Humanoids.

Xia Yuanfang had already returned to the Manor outside the city at the time, but upon receiving the message, she still asked Xia Chujian to take her to Li's Hospital in Mulan City.

Xia Chujian had never been to a private hospital like Li's Hospital.

She happily agreed and was very excited, wanting to see if Ning Sa would give birth to a little baby or a little leopard with horns on its head...

In the Flying Vehicle, Xia Yuanfang, hearing her say this, scolded her affectionately, "You have no faith in your Aunt!"

"It's not that I lack confidence, I just... I just think that a little leopard with horns on its head isn't so bad... It's quite cute..." Xia Chujian laughed heartily.

Because she grew up in the South District, which is mainly populated by Humanoid Lowly People, and was taught by Xia Yuanfang from a young age that Humanoids are also human beings, not aliens, Xia Chujian really has no discriminatory attitude towards Humanoid Lowly People and Humanoid Slaves.

...

Ten minutes later, their Flying Vehicle steadily landed at the Flying Vehicle Plaza of Li's Hospital.

As expected of the most expensive private hospital, a private Flying Vehicle is standard equipment for people coming here for treatment.

Xia Chujian carefully parked the Flying Vehicle in the most remote corner of the plaza, for fear of being scratched by those luxurious and high-end Flying Vehicles.

Actually, she was afraid of scratching other people's Flying Vehicles...

After Xia Yuanfang and she got out of the Flying Vehicle, they quickly came to the building where Ning Sa's delivery room was located.

As a result, at the entrance of the building, they found that the entrance here was blocked.

One by one, burly men in black uniforms and goggles guarded the entrance of the building.

They were tall and imposing, and it was clear at a glance that they were high-level Gene Evolvers.

Xia Yuanfang and Xia Chujian wanted to go in, but they were stopped by the burly men guarding the entrance.

"I'm sorry, there is something going on here today, and the corridor is temporarily blocked."

Xia Yuanfang became anxious: "My patient is inside about to give birth, you wouldn't even let a doctor in, would you?! This is a case of one corpse and two lives!"

The man wearing goggles said expressionlessly: "Specialist doctors have already gone in, irrelevant people cannot enter."

There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
