Chapter 328 - Pregnancy is the Answer

Gao Rou was walking in circles at the man whom they thought ordered their abduction. It still surprised him to learn of the truth. 

"What's wrong, Mr. Rou? Have you not seen a twin before?" Asked Landon Song. 

"How is this possible, I am pretty sure we researched about Michael Song, but nowhere did it say that he had a brother," explained Gao Rou. 

"That is because my brother decided to kill me when we were seventeen years old," said Landon Song. "You see, after my father's death, we had it bad. He had many enemies, a lot of secrets and hidden wealth. Many people came after us. I was kidnapped and almost died. Michael and I... we paid for my father's sins."

He gestured for Gao Rou to take a seat at the couch before resuming his tale, "It was my brother who protected me all throughout. He was… always the stronger and more aggressive. I was merely… a little smarter... He kept me hidden from the threats and other abuse from my father's former enemies."

"So he protected you by announcing that you died?" Gao Rou clarified as he pulled down Deana to take a seat with him. 

"Yes, that is correct. Only very few - those that we trust know that I am alive."

"How do we know that you are not Michael Song? You may be bluffing and is planning something to get back at us?" Deana asked with a fierce look. She could not understand how Gao Rou was easily accepting of all this. 

Gao Rou glanced at the innocent Deana. She had no idea that the real Michael Song was already locked up in Gabriel's Den. She is not yet aware of the other side of the Lus. He told her, "It's okay, Deana. I got this."

"So since you are brothers, why are you helping us now?" Gao Rou asked after returning his attention to Landon. 

He was silent for a moment but soon he spoke, "Because he had long crossed the line… because he had abused the woman I loved… It is because I love him that I want to protect him from himself."

"Gao Rou, I am here to help you and I can tell you right now how to get the disease cured, but in exchange… all I ask is that you keep him alive… You do have him, right?" 

Gao Rou sat back while taking a heavy sigh before saying, "I - I don't know what you are talking about."

"Pregnancy," Landon blurted out. 

"What?" Gao Rou asked. 

"Technically, our laboratories have not made the cure for the disease, but the stages of pregnancy, from the woman's changing hormones, changing anti-bodies, to the fetus' blood exchange with the mother. Everything helps fight the disease," Landon explained further. 

Gao Rou merely gave a frown, but Deana was suddenly enlightened. "Oh my god. How could I not have seen this?" She then turned to Gao Rou and said, "He is right? Those women we spoke to. Adila got pregnant and said she was miraculously healed! Editha  - Editha thought it was the immunoglobulin that cured her, but no, it was not it."

"It was because she got pregnant after her treatment. Gao Rou, pregnancy is the answer!"

"I need to tell Lu Fang," Deana added. "Oh, but those men have my phone."

"Mr. Rou, I need an answer to my request," Landon Song said after seeing Deana had finished.

Landon's intel suggested that Gao Rou was a trusted person within the Lu Family and thus, he believed that Gao Rou was fully aware that his brother had gone missing. 

Deana looked at Gao Rou and back to Landon before saying, "Mr. Song, we do not know what you are talking about. Gao Rou? Tell him!"

Landon immediately understood Gao Rou's predicament and said, "I see. I guess, we best talk about this another time."

"Very true, sir," said one of Landon's men. "We still need to get out of here the soonest possible time."

Ladon explained to Gao Rou that the men who abducted them were rather difficult to control. Only Michael Song's money kept them from possibly betraying. Still, there was no telling if they will not make trouble if they simply leave. 

"My brother and I sometimes switched places, but he never let me come here. He used to tell me the gang members whom he had collaborated are drug addicts and very violent. It worried me that they may not follow my lead if they ever knew I am not my brother."

"When my men received reports that they were after the representatives of Intramed Wise, I rushed to come here and arrived this morning. My brother's instructions were to have you killed. Imagine their surprise when I called the Kamil, the gang leader, and asked that you all be brought in unharmed."

"So how do you suggest we leave without being noticed?" Gao Rou asked. 

Landon signaled his men to get started with the scheme before answering, "My plan is simple. Get them drunk. Get them high until they all fall asleep out of exhaustion. We will leave at dawn… To be sure, my men had also placed sedatives in their drinks."

Kamil and a few of his gang were hanging out in the living room when one of Landon's men approached them, "Kamil, the boss has a gift for you and your group. This is a token for a job well done. Please follow me."

They were brought to the dining area where food, alcohol, and drugs have been prepared for their use. It was such a bountiful supply that they instantly rejoiced upon entering the space. 

It did not take long for them to enjoy their reward. Those that guarded the mansion from the outside were also invited to join the celebration. Landon's men merely offered to take their place, and they hurriedly left their post. 

It was already three in the morning, Tanzania time when Gao Rou's and Landon's party left the mansion. They rode in two vans, speedily leaving Lindi for the fear of alerting Kamil and his gang. They merely stopped at the Bed and Breakfast to get the rest of their belongings. 

While they were driving their way to the airport, Deana kept calling Lu Fang. She had earlier recovered her mobile through Landon's men. She was excited to give the good news, but it was still seven in the morning in China and the man would not answer. 

"Send him a text," Gao Rou suggested. "We may not be able to get through to him. He did mention they were going to the hospital today and have Andrea's electrolytes checked… Besides, I'm sure he was not expecting us to contact him at this time."

Landon offered to bring Gao Rou and Deana to China, especially since he needed to know how his brother was doing. 

While they were getting on board one of Michael's Song's private plane, Lu Fang and Andrea were at the hospital in Beijing, getting her blood extracted. It was only after they were done that the man had a chance to check on his mobile. 

Deana's text read, "Lu Fang, Gao Rou, and I are headed to Beijing. We are here with Michael Song's brother. Long story. Don't tell anyone yet that Michael Song has a brother  He told us that pregnancy helps cure Kimya Disease. It perfectly fits the story of the two survivors we spoke to. They both got pregnant."

Another text read, "I guess you know what to do."

The couple was sitting in the backseat of the car, getting ready to leave when he read the text. The man had many questions in his mind, but what was apparent was that he needed to get his wife pregnant fast. 

He quickly googled how to get pregnant really really  fast.
