Chapter 1176 Really Looking at Faces

Gu Nianzhi secretly came to this conclusion because she was basically trying to make a bad situation better.

Numerous comments rapidly scrolled through her head, with the words ‘looking at faces’ endlessly passing through. She was about to burst out in laughter.

At the moment, Huo Shaoheng seemed to read her mind and asked, “...Why are you giving us such good treatment? Our case isn’t even special in any way.”

Everyone who came to the infertility clinic seeking help with getting pregnant were married couples with issues getting pregnant naturally.

Within these patients, Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi had only pretended to be the kind of patients with the most basic symptoms. There was nothing medically interesting about their case at all.

The middle-aged woman did not expect this married couple to be so cautious and careful that they would not accept such a great offer...

But then she quickly recalled that they were of the same culture and ethnicity as herself, so they were intrinsically more virtuous and cultured than the neighbors from the self-proclaimed Heavenly Kingdom, the Huaxia Empire. They didn’t always think about taking advantage of everything.

The women became even more courteous towards Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi, folding her hands in front of her body and bowing deeply as she said, “You are a couple with very special talents and abilities. Such great genes should be passed on for generations to come... Our experts are committed to endorsing the best genes.”

Gu Nianzhi almost passed out when she heard this.

Oh my god, she was actually doing all this because simply because of their faces?!

So, this woman offered them such a great opportunity simply because she and Huo Shaoheng had excellent physical attributes?!

Huo Shaoheng was quiet for a very long time, so Gu Nianzhi wasn’t sure if he was shocked or if it was for a different reason.

The truth was, Huo Shaoheng’s heart was beating faster than ever at that very moment.

He would never have imagined that the clinic would have such a philosophy...

This basically matched up with history itself.

If all these clinics behaved this way, they could basically conclude what kind of data Reinitz and his men were pursuing this time.

Huo Shaoheng’s eyes were darker than ever right now. Luckily, they were hidden behind sunglasses, so the extremely enthusiastic receptionist had no idea at all.

“Of course, we will even test your IQ so we can better confirm your future child’s IQ baseline. Then we will help you optimize the reproductive cells in order to birth the smartest baby. Perhaps they will be a top student later on! Hahaha!”

The middle-aged woman muffled her giggles.

Huo Shaoheng’s expression and tone didn’t change very much, so he still behaved impeccably polite yet very distant.

“Thank you for seeing us today, but we still want to take another look at the other clinics. Money is not a problem for us. Goodbye.”

Gu Nianzhi stood behind Huo Shaoheng and discreetly took out a phone to take a high-resolution photo of the English handwritten poem, “A Little Girl Needs Daddy,” framed on the wall.

Of course, the pinhole camera on her sunglasses was also aimed at the handwritten English poem to capture photos from various angles.

Huo Shaoheng was still dealing with that woman anyway, but he insisted on rejecting the clinic’s special offer and wanted to leave.

The middle-aged woman was very distraught. She noticed that this married couple was very special and unlike ordinary people, so she didn’t dare to use any other methods. She had no choice but to helplessly watch them leave through the clinic’s doors and head towards the parking lot.

“It’s fine, Kako. Don’t force them if they are unwilling.” Someone said to the middle-aged woman through her Bluetooth headset.

The receptionist shook her head regretfully and said, “I understand, Director. Kako just thinks this is a great shame. This couple has such great physical attributes and is Japanese like us, so their reproductive cells should be even more helpful for us.”

“They are not considered as having the very best physical attributes anyway. It’s fine if they leave.”

There were tens of thousands of patients who came to consult at their clinic. From the way the clinic director saw it, this couple wasn’t very good-looking despite having great figures. The director didn’t mind them leaving at all.

Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi disguised their appearances, so it was certainly incomparable to their original faces. It was expected that they would be insulted.

If the clinic was so relentless even though they appeared as they did in their disguise and refused to let them go, that meant they were not only looking at their faces but had actually discovered they were in disguise.

Then it was all the more reason to run away.

...

Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi got into the car in the parking lot without saying anything.

The car drove all the way out of the clinic parking lot and towards the main road.

The situation on the streets was still dire, as there were long lines of people withdrawing cash everywhere. All the bank entrances were a mess as people clamored and pushed each other around.

Gu Nianzhi finally sighed in relief and said with a smile, “Can I speak now? I was dying back there.”

Huo Shaoheng passed a bottle of water to her, asking, “Are you thirsty?”

They hadn’t had a drop of water to drink at the clinic.

Gu Nianzhi accepted the water and inhaled almost half the bottle with one gulp.

“I never expected that the clinic would focus so heavily on physically attractive patients.” Gu Nianzhi had her head down as she screwed the cap back onto the bottle. She shook her head and said, “They are only performing artificial insemination, but they actually think that they are lifesaving gods?”

He Zhichu didn’t turn around from the front seat as he replied dryly, “I already said that there was nothing worth investigating, but you insisted on going...”

Huo Shaoheng draped a hand behind Gu Nianzhi’s seat and rested his other elbow against the car window. He replied thoughtfully, “At least we confirmed the standards they rely on when admitting patients. Speaking of which, they were extremely eager to give all sorts of offers and incentives to physically attractive people. They were even willing to give out free surgeries. What kind of game do you think they are trying to play by giving out such big freebies?”

Gu Nianzhi considered it, then leaned back against the seat. From He Zhichu’s perspective, Gu Nianzhi seemed to be resting against Huo Shaoheng’s arm.

This was truly a discomforting site in the middle of the day.

He Zhichu pushed the rearview mirror up in order to avoid seeing the situation in the backseat.

“I’ve never believed there are such things as free lunches. Of course, there is no way to get something this big for free.” Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression serious and solemn. “If they are able to offer conditions that a typical patient couldn’t refuse, that means they must be able to earn an even larger benefit from it.”

Artificial insemination was a very expensive surgery. The better clinics offering gender selections were even more expensive in comparison.

The receptionist kept upselling and claimed their experts could even optimize, screen, and cultivate the eggs, so this was extremely impressive.

Huo Shaoheng nodded and said, “Right, there must be an even bigger benefit. That’s why the Angels on Earth charity was using all their funds to support these clinics.”

“There was also one more thing...” He Zhichu said from the front seat. “Did you ever think about why they set up the clinics here?”

Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng exchanged a glance before each looking away.

Huo Shaoheng mused, “...Maybe because there is a large population here?”

Aside from the Huaxia Empire, the country of India with the Taj Mahal was the most populous country on the Blue Planet.

Or perhaps India’s population already surpassed the Huaxia Empire, making this the most populous country on the Blue Planet.

Gu Nianzhi followed He Zhichu’s train of thought and considered it. “...There is a high population, so there are more genetic mutations?”

“The largest population in this country is still Caucasian,” Huo Shaoheng informed her calmly. “But we mainly saw two types of patients in the clinic today, Caucasians and Japanese.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and said, “That’s true.”

“But we still need to check the other clinics before determining the overall situation.”

As Huo Shaoheng spoke, he directed the driver to go to another infertility clinic, Batti’s Fertility Aid Center.

Batti’s was the largest clinic out of the four, and the most profitable as well. However, it only received a modest amount of donations from the charity and ranked third.

Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng continued using the same disguises as before and went into the clinic.

The patients in this clinic were much more typical, with the majority of them being locals. It was very noisy and boisterous inside, and occasionally a more prestigious caste member would walk out of the VIP room. From their appearances, it was obvious that these people were much paler than the other patients.

Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng waited for half an hour before being called in.
