Chapter 106: Biological Siblings, Joy of an Elder Brother
Dr. Zhao instructed a nurse to draw blood from Ling Jiu for testing.
It did not take long before the blood test result came out. Lucky for them, their blood types matched and were good for blood transfusion.
Half an hour later, the blood transfusion had completed. Pink has returned to Yang Ling-er’s face. She was not as pale as before.
“Is she okay now, Dr. Zhao?” Ling Jiu asked.
“Have you ever taken any self-healing potion or something like that, Ling Jiu?” Dr. Zhao asked back.
“Yeah.”
Ling Jiu gave a slight nod.
“No wonder.”
Dr. Zhao smiled. “Don’t worry. Your blood carries a potent self-healing ability and your blood type is perfectly compatible with the patient.
“Not only has the blood eased the problems from losing too much blood but also the blood’s self-healing property has repaired the failing organs. She will recover in no time.”
“Thank you, Dr. Zhao.”
Ling Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
“I will leave you to it.” the doctor said with a smile.
When Ling Jiu was just about to leave, the nurse who tested Ling Jiu’s blood came over. “You may want to take a look at this, Dr. Zhao.”
“What is it, Wang?”
“Isn’t this Ling Jiu’s blood test report? Is there any problem?” Dr. Zhao looked puzzled as he took the report from the nurse.
“You have to take a look at this too, Dr. Zhao.”
The nurse handed him another blood test report.
“Who could it be?”
Dr. Zhao looked at Ling Jiu’s report, then at another, his expression changed.
At first, Ling Jiu was leaving. But when he heard the conversation of Dr. Zhao and the nurse, he became curious. “Is there any problem, Dr. Zhao?”
Dr. Zhao hesitated for a second. “Are you and the patient siblings?”
Ling Jiu was dumbfounded, bursting out in laughter. “How could it be possible? I am from Lantian Base City and Ling-er from Chang’an. We have just met each other not long ago. We are merely friends.”
“Not siblings?”
Dr. Zhao was flabbergasted. “Why do the blood test reports show you two are siblings?”
“Siblings?”
It was Ling Jiu’s turn to become flabbergasted.
“Let me explain. Our arcanist blood test differs from the regular blood test carried out in other hospitals. We include DNA testing, such as mitochondrial, autosomes, autosomal DNA testing.”
Dr. Zhao looked at Ling Jiu, his expression strange. “And the DNA analysis shows you and the patient have identical mitochondrion. Do you know what it means?”
Ling Jiu’s heart skipped a beat.
“It means you and the patient come from the same mother.”
“T-The same mother?”
Ling Jiu was thunderstruck.
“Our medical facilities in the camp are very high-tech. Works as simple as DNA testing won’t go wrong.”
Dr. Zhao emphasized as he continued. “The X chromosome analysis shows your and the patient’s X chromosome are identical, which means you two come from the same father.
“The autosome analysis is the ultimate proof that...”
“Proof what?”
“You and the patient are siblings.”
...
“Siblings?”
“Ling-er is my younger sister?”
After leaving the training camp hospital, the words of Dr. Zhao still rang in his head. His mind was muddled.
“How could it be possible?”
Ling Jiu shook his head, trying to keep his mind awake.
Younger sister?
It was impossible for a sister to come out of nowhere.
She either came from his father or both his father and mother.
He knew his father well. It was impossible to come from his father.
“As for Mother...”
Ling Jiu’s brows were knitted together slightly.
From what he knew, he could roughly conclude that likely, his mother was Yang Su, the president of Yang Group.
After Yang Su left his father, and if she remarried and gave birth to a child, Ling Jiu likely had a half-sibling.
The question was, as far as Ling Jiu knew, Yang Su remained single all this time.
So how could she have another child?
Besides, even if she had a child with another man, the child would be his half-sibling. It could not be like what the blood test report showed—they shared the same parents.
So the million-dollar question was: Where did Yang Ling-er, his full sibling, came from?
“Of course! There is another possibility: Yang Su is not his biological mother. So who is? My head is going to explode!”
Losing himself in the thought, he came to the Logistics. After handing over the bodies of the direbeast, he returned to his dorm. He hesitated for a long while before calling his father on the phone.
“Ling Jiu.”
“Dad.”
...
Lantian Base City.
On a truck heading to the wilderness, Lin Tianci was sitting on the passenger seat chatting with the driver.
“You don’t have to come along, Boss. Chen and I will get this handled. You are the company’s boss. You shouldn’t put yourself at risk by coming to the wilderness.”
“We are delivering supplies to the military. I cannot take chances. Besides, this is our first order from the military. I want to make sure everything goes as planned.”
“I understand your concern. But I have made over eight hundred trips on this route. Didn’t I complete the task every time?”
Just then, Ling Tianci’s cell rang. He looked at the screen, and a smile broke out on his face.
“Judging by your smile, Boss, it must be your arcanist son calling, I guess?” The driver gave a smile.
“Yeah.”
Still with a smile on his face, Ling Tianci picked up the call. “Are you back from the wilderness, Ling Jiu?”
“I have just got home.”
Ling Jiu had a casual chat with his father before going down to business. “I have something more serious to ask you, Dad.”
“Something more serious?” Ling Tianci cocked an eyebrow.
“Am I your biological son?” Ling Jiu was careful with his question.
“What the hell are you talking about, you rascal?”
Ling Tianci hissed. “Of course, you are my biological son. Why do you think I had to work my butt off to raise you, huh? I am not a masochist!”
“Have you ever done a DNA test before?” Ling Jiu asked nervously.
“Err...”
Ling Tianci was startled. “Never. But what for? You look just like me. You are my son. There was no need to do that!”
Ling Jiu forced a smile. “Let us go have a DNA test next time. Aren’t you worried that you’ve gotten me mixed up?”
“What is wrong with you, rascal? Did you hit your head somewhere? Why are you so strange today?”
Ling Tianci went mad. “Are you starting to look down on me because you are an arcanist now? Are you thinking of disowning me or something?”
“Do I look like I am that kind of person?”
Ling Jiu had an embarrassed smile on his face. Seriousness returned to his face. “You know what? I just got another sister out of nowhere! Biological sister!”
“What?”
Ling Tianci was dumbfounded.
Ling Jiu told him about what had happened today, and after he finished, Ling Tianci fell into silence.
A shivering voice came after a long while. “Do you have that child’s photo, Ling Jiu?”
“Yeah, I think I have. We used to take a photo while having a meal together. Let me check.”
Ling Jiu rummaged through his cell, and before long, he found a group photo of four and sent it to his father.
