Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Handing Over the Brain Cells to You

The operating room, not particularly spacious, was filled with a tense and sweltering atmosphere.

"Dream on," Jiang Zhe pushed him away forcefully.

Qin Jingchen settled onto the operating table as if by momentum, knowing that if he continued to tease, Jiang Zhe would get angry.

He lay down quietly, restraining the wild thoughts in his head.

Jiang Zhe approached, and his gaze followed her every move.

As she bent down to check on him, he kissed her once more by her ear.

"Qin Jingchen!" Jiang Zhe paused in her movements.

Finally, Qin Jingchen closed his eyes in earnest.

Jiang Zhe administered the anesthetic injection to him.

Outside the operating room.

Fen Ye, along with Qin Hai and Qin He, waited.

There didn’t seem to be much to worry about, so they chatted casually.

It was as if there was nothing to fear as long as everything was in Jiang Zhe’s hands.

When Fen Ye saw Qin Li and Wei Minglan walk in, he was somewhat surprised and stood up, "Uncle Qin, Auntie Wei?"

It had been so long since he had seen the two of them that Fen Ye almost didn’t recognize them.

He also didn’t know why they happened to appear here today.

"Is Jingchen undergoing surgery?" Wei Minglan asked.

"Yes, a bit of treatment," Fen Ye responded.

"We’ll wait here," Wei Minglan said, "Since we haven’t alarmed the old lady, there’s no need to let her know."

"Yes, Grandma Qin hasn’t been alarmed."

Concern and worry filled Wei Minglan’s eyes as she frequently glanced toward the operating room.

Qin Li sat quietly, patiently waiting.

Although both appeared calm on the surface, inside they were anything but serene.

They had heard bit by bit about Jiang Zhe’s capabilities and the things she had accomplished over the past year.

Yet, hearing about them and witnessing them first-hand were entirely different matters.

If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t oppose Qin Jingchen’s wishes, deep down they really wouldn’t want to entrust such an important matter to Jiang Zhe.

Wei Minglan asked, "How long was the surgery expected to take?"

"Two hours," Fen Ye said.

After he spoke, he realized that the time spent inside had already far exceeded two hours.

Fen Ye couldn’t help but stand up and look in that direction.

Qin Li and Wei Minglan started to grow restless.

"There shouldn’t be a problem with sister-in-law inside," Fen Ye tried to reassure them.

In the ward, Jiang Zhe had just finished the final step of the surgery.

It had taken a bit longer than anticipated.

The amount of brain cells related to Qin Kuo extracted from Qin Jingchen’s side was not small, well over a third of the total.

This was precisely what allowed Qin Kuo to take over his body at moments when Qin Jingchen’s will was at its weakest.

This residue from previous surgeries had been left behind, as it had not been possible to perform another operation to remove it.

Stored in a specially sealed container, within one hundred hours, it could be transplanted back to Qin Kuo, letting his brain cells return to their rightful place.

It would also allow his consciousness, knowledge, and the memories acquired while staying in Qin Jingchen’s body to be restored to their original state.

What Qin Li and Wei Minglan wanted was precisely this.

Jiang Zhe looked at the object in the transparent sealed container and a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

She glanced down at the still unconscious Qin Jingchen. His personal consciousness was so strong that Jiang Zhe had used a higher dose of anesthesia than usual.

But after this surgery, he wouldn’t have to be troubled by Qin Kuo’s brain cells anymore.

Now, he was just himself alone.

His quiet appearance was very harmless.

Jiang Zhe turned and left.

Wei Minglan saw her and quickly stepped forward to meet her.

Qin Li said to Fen Ye, "You all go look after Jingchen."

"Xiaozhe, how is Jingchen?" Wei Minglan’s worry for her two sons was heartfelt.

"Of course, he won’t have any issues."

The couple visibly sighed in relief.

They didn’t dwell on the puzzling fact that Jiang Zhe could completely manage these things, and instead thought of other concerns.

"What about the brain cells belonging to Qin Kuo that were extracted?"

Since Qin Jingchen was unharmed, Wei Minglan naturally worried more about Qin Kuo.

She couldn’t control her emotions about this.

Jiang Zhe took out a specially made glass bottle and casually shook it, saying, "Here."

Wei Minglan knew that since Jiang Zhe understood the principles of the surgery and could perform it, she must also know how to store these items.

She was pleasantly surprised and reached out carefully to take it, "Thank you, give it to me."

Just as her fingers were about to touch the glass bottle, Jiang Zhe nonchalantly pulled it back, speaking indifferently, "Although the items are here, I want to remind you that when Qin Kuo was in Qin Jingchen’s body and crazily occupied it, it already meant that he didn’t regard Qin Jingchen as a brother. It also signifies the madness of his emotions and the uncontrollability of his entire being..."

Wei Minglan of course knew these facts, but she also understood Qin Kuo, "He didn’t have his own body and only existed as brain cells and memories for many years. Although he could feel this world, he couldn’t touch it or interact with it. His intense affliction led him to act that way. Now that his body is gradually recovering, I believe it was just a moment of confusion for him."

"Is that so?" Jiang Zhe did not believe it.

In the previous years, Qin Jingchen had taken great risks by accommodating Qin Kuo’s brain cells in his body, allowing them to nourish and grow in sync with the world.

What Qin Jingchen sacrificed for this was definitely more than what could simply be summed up as a few surgeries.

No matter the reasons, Qin Kuo’s actions had already violated the brotherly bond between them.

Moreover... Jiang Zhe recalled the times she had given psychological therapy to Qin Jingchen. Perhaps the person least willing to see Qin Jingchen’s alter ego disappear was Qin Kuo himself.

If Qin Jingchen’s alter ego vanished, Qin Kuo would have no chance to take over Qin Jingchen’s body. Only with the existence of the alter ego could he find an opportunity.

Jiang Zhe remembered the dagger aimed at her, the cold touch, the chill of blood loss—these were things she could never forget.

Then the helplessness Qin Jingchen felt when his body was overtaken by Qin Kuo—was that also something he could never forget for the rest of his life?

Seeing Jiang Zhe’s disbelief, Wei Minglan tried to prove herself, "No matter what, once Qin Kuo is fully recovered, we’ll have him stay abroad and live a stable life. Everything belonging to the Qin family, everything that is Jingchen’s, all belongs to Jingchen himself. We, as well as Qin Kuo, will not compete with Jingchen for anything. That is our debt to Jingchen..."

"Everything the Qin family has now was fought for and strived for by Qin Jingchen himself," Jiang Zhe countered.

Qin Li and Wei Minglan had nothing to say in response.

Jiang Zhe tossed her hand, and the glass bottle drew a beautiful arc in mid-air: "Here are the remaining brain cells of Qin Kuo, returned to you."

Wei Minglan caught it with great joy, hugging it carefully, fearing any slight mishap that might lead to another problem for Qin Kuo.
