Chapter 1494 Intrauterine Conception

"What did they ask you to do? Why did you try to take off my pants just now? What's the drug that I was given?" Xia Zhe said sternly.

Xia Zhe had taken an antidote, but he did not know what the actual poison was. He still needed Cao Liang to give him the answers.

Cao Liang knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound. The questions which Xia Zhe asked him could cost him his life. If he really answered all the questions truthfully, he could forget about staying alive!

"Consider it carefully. If you tell me about what happened, I'll punish you lightly. At most, you'll go to jail for a few days. If you don't say anything at all, you should know the consequences," Xia Zhe said as he looked at Cao Liang seriously.

"You... you're just a battalion commander. Can you really guarantee my safety?" Cao Liang asked.

Xia Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly. <nulli>Could it be that Du Jun was not the one who asked this man to do this? If the mastermind was really so powerful, then who was the person whom even Du Jun was afraid of?

"I suppose you don't know my name. My name is Xia Zhe. My surname is Xia. I think you should know if there are many families in the capital with this surname," Xia Zhe whispered.

"Xia... you're from the Xia family! But whose child are you..." Cao Liang asked hesitantly as he looked at Xia Zhe.

The Xia family had already split up and the eldest son's family was the most favored one now. The second and third sons' families were not useful at all.

"My father is Xia Mao and my grandfather is Xia Jun. You can tell me whose child I am. My eldest brother works for the government. As long as you tell me the truth, I promise you that you'll be safe. whose child I am. My eldest brother works for the government. As long as you tell me the truth, I promise you that you'll be safe. However, if you want to lie and hide the truth from me, then you should take note of how powerful my family is. Even if those people let you off, I'll get you no matter where you go and make you wish that you were dead!" Xia Zhe threatened.

This was the first time he had used the Xia family's reputation to back him up. In the past, he had always been afraid that others would treat him differently when they knew that he was a member of the Xia family. Now that he said it out loud, it actually felt quite good, like he was lording over others. He decided to experience this feeling a few more times in the future.

Cao Liang hurriedly crawled forward a few steps and said agitatedly, "You're a member of the Xia family! Then you can definitely protect me! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

Cao Liang did not know who the mastermind was, but he knew his task here. When Du Jun found him, Du Jun asked him to prepare an especially potent aphrodisiac. There was almost no way to counteract this kind of aphrodisiac. The person taking the drug would need to get sexual release, otherwise he could die from the pent-up urge.

"But how does one do it if one is drunk?" Xia Zhe asked curiously.

"Well... that medicine still works even if you're drunk..." Cao Liang said embarrassedly.

Xia Zhe nodded in understanding and gestured for Cao Liang to continue. Cao Liang knew some people from an exclusive institution who were currently doing some experiments. They were trying to make it possible for men and women to have children without needing to sleep together.

The technology in this era had yet to reach the stage of in-vitro fertilization or IVF. Some other countries had already successfully developed an insemination method to cause pregnancy. As long as the man's sperm was inseminated into the woman at the right time, there was a possibility of pregnancy even though the chances of success were still relatively low. n--o.(V..E(.1.)b(/I-(n

Xia Zhe had never heard of such things before. He was shocked to hear Cao Liang explain such a crude method to get a woman pregnant.

In the beginning, he thought that Du Jun wanted Cao Liang to perform a vasectomy on him so that he could no longer have children! He did not expect their scheme to be even more vicious and that they even wanted to break up his family!

"So what happens after you're done? What do they want you to do next?" Xia Zhe asked.

"There's a refrigerator in the tent next door. They asked me to freeze the sample inside after I'm done. Then, it would eventually be put inside the body of a woman named He Mei," Cao Liang said.

<nulli>So that was how it was... No wonder He Mei was here. This was all part of He Ning's evil scheme! Xia Zhe did not expect He Ning to do such a crazy thing, both disregarding He Mei's future as well as the life of a yet unborn child's life!

He Ning had planned everything in detail. He was sure that once He Mei was pregnant, Qiao Mei would definitely be suspicious of Xia Zhe regardless of whether Xia Zhe admitted or not. After that, Qiao Mei would definitely divorce Xia Zhe and then he would be able to get hold of Qiao Mei for himself.

He did not believe that Qiao Mei would still want to maintain a loving relationship with Xia Zhe by then!

"Pretend that you don't know about me waking up. Do you hear me? You can't tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you even if I want to!" Xia Zhe said.
