Chapter 4032: Chapter 4051: Twists and Turns

"Is your wife sick?"

Fang Du Zhou sighed heavily with a solemn expression: "It’s a strange genetic disease. Normal treatment plans are ineffective. Only genetic potions have some effect, but they can only slow down the disease’s progression, not cure it."

"This radiation device can alter genes, halt their degeneration, and then gradually improve..."

Lin Chen asked, "With this, can your wife recover?"

Fang Du Zhou replied, filled with hope: "Yes, but it will take some time. I’ve been waiting for it for so long, I even doubted if I could wait for it. Fortunately, it finally arrived."

Lin Chen nodded, since they now had this device, his wife’s illness could recover, so Lin Chen didn’t ask further questions.

Genetic disease is not something a Healing Technique or a medicinal pill can settle, nor is an Immortal Pill omnipotent.

"Have you encountered any difficulties? I heard from Xiao Lin that someone is pursuing you?"

Fang Du Zhou’s expression slightly changed, smiling bitterly: "I offended someone. They want to deal with me. To avoid being found, I had to abandon my identity and phone usage. This area is a slum; many residents are undocumented, making it hard to be traced."

"I couldn’t continue with my previous job, and I’m too afraid to act under my own identity. I had to resort to doing odd jobs. My wife is currently in a private hospital because I can’t reveal my identity; I have to pay extra money."

Lin Chen understood the situation instantly: "Dr. Ning mentioned if your environment is poor, we need to help you. Who are the people you offended? Are they strong?"

Fang Du Zhou smiled bitterly: "Their family is a top, renowned power on this planet. The person I offended isn’t an important figure in their family, but for someone like me, it makes no difference."

Lin Chen nodded: "I understand your situation. What kind of help do you need, to kill someone, or money, or to take your family off this planet?"

Hope appeared in Fang Du Zhou’s eyes: "Killing someone might bring more trouble. If investigated later, they could track it back to me, and it won’t solve the root problem."

"Money might improve my current situation, but I still have to hide my identity. Once they find me, being rich won’t help."

"Can you find a way to take my family and me away from here? If we can live on another planet, they won’t be able to find me."

Lin Chen agreed readily: "Alright, it’s a small matter. I’ll take your family away. I’ll first handle some business on Planet 28, then go to Planet 11, and finally should return to Planet 49, where Dr. Ning is. My family is also there. Where would you like to go?"

"Anywhere along the way from here to Planet 28 is fine, as is Planet 11. Of course, you can also choose to go to Planet 49 to meet Dr. Ning. On Planet 49, with Dr. Ning around, no one can harm you."

Fang Du Zhou furrowed his brows and said: "I’m practically on this side’s wanted list. As soon as I appear in public, if captured by surveillance, my whereabouts would be exposed. I can’t board a flying ship through formal channels."

Lin Chen laughed: "No worries, I have a Magical Treasure that can fit all of you inside. It’s a contained space where you can live until we reach the destination, and then I’ll release you."

Fang Du Zhou asked in shock: "Space Technology can store non-living things. Can it also hold living people?"

Lin Chen replied: "We’re not Federation natives. We come from a Lost Ball in the Sea of Abandonment. Our cultivation system is different from that of warriors. We practice Cultivation, so our abilities are different. Don’t worry."

Lin Chen brought out the Void Pearl: "You can experience it first."

Lin Chen placed Fang Du Zhou inside the Void Pearl, waited a while, then released him.

"Do you understand now?"

Excitement gleamed in Fang Du Zhou’s eyes: "Got it, you guys are amazing! Are you friends with Dr. Ning?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen smiled: "The Lost Ball is to be purified, meaning we are to be eradicated, so when we first contacted the Federation, our situation wasn’t great. Later, Dr. Ning helped us, and we assisted in some research, eventually joining the Federation as legal citizens. We became friends with Dr. Ning."

Fang Du Zhou understood Lin Chen’s relationship with Ning Xiuzhu and felt completely at ease, finally saying: "I don’t mind living in that space, but my wife needs some supporting equipment, or her condition worsens."

Lin Chen laughed: "No problem, we’ll go to the hospital, get the necessary equipment, then prepare generators and Energy Blocks or the like. Just make a list; if it’s inconvenient, we can go buy it."

"Don’t worry about the money, just provide what you need, and we’ll handle the rest."

Fang Du Zhou expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much. Without you, I don’t know how long I could hold on."

Lin Chen laughed: "It’s getting late. Rest for the night. Tomorrow we’ll prepare the necessary things, pick up your wife, and then we can leave this planet."

"Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements."

Lin Chen casually put away the metal cabinet: "I’ll keep it for you first. Go back and organize your list."

"Sure!"

After Fang Du Zhou left, Lin Chen brought out the Linglong Tower; the four of them entered it to rest.

The next morning, Lin Chen went alone to Fang Du Zhou’s home.

Fang Du Zhou handed a list to Lin Chen, rubbing his hands, slightly embarrassed: "The genetic disease treatment equipment isn’t cheap..."

Lin Chen laughed: "Don’t worry, we have our own business on Planet 49, and money is not an issue."

Following Fang Du Zhou’s directions, Lin Chen visited a Medical Equipment Company and purchased the necessary equipment and medical resources.

They stored all the supplies in the Void Pearl and went together to the private hospital where Fang Du Zhou’s wife was.

However, as Fang Du Zhou pushed open the door to the ward, his face suddenly changed dramatically.

The hospital bed was empty, and the room was devoid of people.

Fang Du Zhou raced to the Front Desk, asking: "Where is the patient in room 13? Why are they missing?"

The Front Desk Nurse checked and looked up: "The patient was transferred to another hospital, weren’t they?"

Fang Du Zhou’s eyes reddened with anger: "I’m the patient’s family, you’ve seen me, I didn’t process any transfer!"

The Front Desk Nurse, surprised, replied: "Wasn’t it you who processed it? They said it was under your commission, and they’ve paid all the outstanding fees. Don’t you know them?"

Fang Du Zhou slammed his fist on the counter, shouting angrily: "It’s them, it must be them!"

Lin Chen, seeing this, also guessed what had happened and asked: "When did this happen?"

The nurse answered: "Yesterday afternoon."

Lin Chen turned, grabbing Fang Du Zhou’s arm: "Don’t worry, contact them."
