Chapter 171 Li Xi's Biological Father
This is incredible.
Luo Wen stared intently at Huang Ying, trying to discern from the subtle expressions on her face whether what she had just said was fabricated or true.
After a moment, Luo Wen vigorously rubbed his face.
He thought to himself: I'm fucking crazy, actually believing what she said is true.
Li Xi then spoke up, "Uncle, could you please send someone to Qingshan Town to look for Mr. Zhou's remains?"
If Zhou Yangzhi's remains can be found, then what Huang Ying said is most likely true.
Luo Wen was certainly willing.
He immediately ordered Lin Nuo to personally lead a team to handle the matter.
Gu Huaizhou also said, "I'll make a call and ask Chu Xu to bring some people to help Lin Nuo find the person."
"it is good."
After everyone left, Luo Wen came to Li Xi's side and whispered, "Xi Bao, do you really think what she said is true?"
Li Xi believed.
After hearing the shocking secrets Huang Ying had just revealed, she suddenly realized that her rebirth was not a gift from heaven, but a supernatural ability given to her by her biological father, Zhou Yangzhi.
She not only inherited her mother's ability to stay young forever, but also Zhou Yangzhi's extraordinary ability to rewind time.
Li Xi concealed the secret of his rebirth from Luo Wen, only saying, "Ms. Huang Ying has been lurking in the research institute for many years, just to avenge her brother and destroy the Longevity Island Research Institute. I don't think she has any reason to lie at this time."
"This lie is meaningless."
This is true.
"Uncle, ask about my mother."
Luo Wen sat down again. "Ms. Huang Ying, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you..."
Huang Ying interrupted Luo Wen directly: "You want to know what happened to Test Subject No. 1 at the research institute, right?"
“…Yes.” Luo Wen could tell that Huang Ying was a straightforward person, so he didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “How much do you know about my sister?”
"Before answering this question, you must answer one of my questions first."
Luo Wen: "...May I ask?"
The first question Huang Ying asked was: "Did you take off my clothes and see me naked?"
Li Xi's ears immediately perked up.
Luo Wen was speechless for a moment after being asked the question.
"...Lin Nuo told you?" Besides Lin Nuo, Luo Wen couldn't think of anyone else.
Huang Ying sneered: "I hate physical contact with men. I felt uncomfortable all over when I woke up this time, a feeling that only comes from being touched closely by a man."
"Did you tamper with me?"
Luo Wen did not deny it. "I admit that I took off your clothes, but I did not do anything offensive to you. You helped us, so I naturally have to repay the favor."
“Since I brought you out, I must confirm that you are not a spy sent by the research institute to infiltrate us. I need to take off your clothes and check if there is anything suspicious on you.”
“I have also examined your teeth, hair, and ear cartilage.”
Upon hearing this, the oriole remained silent.
Seeing Huang Ying's gloomy expression, Luo Wen knew she must be furious, perhaps even contemplating cutting himself up, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.
But having already done things he shouldn't have, an apology now seemed inadequate, so Luo Wen simply remained silent.
He was just waiting for Huang Ying to say something harsh.
Huang Ying suddenly asked Li Xi, "Is your uncle married?"
Li Xi shook his head vigorously, "No, he's a golden bachelor, and very handsome."
Luo Wen raised an eyelid and glared helplessly at the mischievous Li Xi.
Huang Ying nodded, automatically ignoring the fact that Luo Wen was handsome, focusing all her attention on the fact that he was single. "It's good that you're not married. I don't want to be a thorn in your side."
Luo Wen shook his head and chuckled, "You're overthinking it."
"Hmm." Changing the subject, Huang Ying added, "Just think of it as being licked by a stray dog, and you'll be fine after taking a few more baths."
Luo Wen: "..."
He's not so bad that he'd be lumped in with stray dogs.
"Subject 1 is your sister, so what is your identity?" Before Luo Wen could answer, Huang Ying continued, "You were able to lead a large group of people into the research institute, so you must not be incompetent. What exactly do you do?"
"Do not lie to me."
Luo Wen needed Huang Ying's most honest answer, so he naturally wouldn't deceive her about his identity.
He told Huang Ying, "I am Luo Wen, the adopted son of Wu Jue, the head of the fifth family in Nanyang. And the No. 1 test subject is Wu Meng, the true heir of the fifth family."
Huang Ying clicked her tongue in amazement, “...the true heiress of a prominent family in Southeast Asia, Fifth Dream.”
"How could someone of that status have fallen to such a state? No matter how arrogant the Longevity Island Research Institute is, it wouldn't dare to compete with the number one arms family in Southeast Asia for personnel."
"This concerns family matters, so Luo Wen has no comment."
Huang Ying cleverly guessed the reason: "It's not something the research institute can do on its own to send Fifth Dream to suffer in such a place."
"Did your sister offend someone in the clan? Luo Wen, your family has produced a troublemaker."
Seeing that Huang Ying had accurately guessed the truth, Luo Wen's expression turned even uglier.
Seeing that Luo Wen was unwilling to talk about this matter, Li Xi took the initiative to speak to Huang Ying: "You guessed right. My mother's disappearance must have been due to the machinations of villains from our own clan. We will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Lan Yin," Huang Ying suddenly said, "Are there any women in your tribe named Lan Yin?"
The face of a plump and tall middle-aged woman appeared in Li Xi's mind. That woman was Lan Yin, the personal housekeeper of her grandmother, who was also Lan Cheng's eldest daughter and Lan Wei's aunt.
Lan Yin is Lan Qing's older sister.
When Wu Meng was young, she chose a study companion from among her clansmen and the Lan siblings. In the end, she chose Lan Qing, who was beautiful in appearance but had a strong and hardworking personality.
According to Li Xi, Lan Yin was actually the most outstanding among the three siblings in the Lan family at that time.
She is intelligent and decisive, fluent in six foreign languages, and excels in both physical skills and intelligence.
When the Fifth Master was choosing a study companion for her daughter, her younger sister Lan Qing was chosen, but she herself was not, which made Lan Yin very indignant.
But that's about it.
After all, Lan Yin was only a teenager at that time, and she couldn't cause any trouble.
Fifth Dream disappeared when she was 15 years old. At that time, Lan Yin was already 23 years old and was Zhou Zhiwei's intern housekeeper.
Becoming Zhou Zhiwei's trusted confidante is something many people dream of. After working for Zhou Zhiwei, Lan Yin gradually tempered her temperament and became calm and reliable.
Logically speaking, she wouldn't be foolish enough to betray Fifth Dream because of a grudge from her youth.
Unless she's tired of living.
Luo Wen said, "It couldn't be Lan Yin. On the day my sister and Lan Qing disappeared, Lan Yin was in a coma while trying to save my mother. She was lying in bed at that time."
Li Xi's eyebrows were also furrowed. She asked Huang Ying, "Ms. Huang, did my mother mention the name Lan Yin to you?"
"Ah."
Huang Ying said, "Five years ago, I successfully gained Kasone's trust and became the researcher who took care of your mother."
“Your mother has always been indifferent to me, treating me like a fake enemy, and always worried that I would suck her blood.”
“I took care of her for two years, and she never said a word to me.”
"Until one day three years ago, when she attacked the researcher who came to draw her blood and had her fingernails pulled out, I heard her mumble a name when I went to treat her injuries."
"That name is Lan Yin."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "So, she only mentioned Lan Yin's name, without explicitly stating that this person was the traitor who betrayed her?"
He added, "My sister grew up with Lan Yin and they had a good relationship. Perhaps she just happened to be thinking of an old friend."
Huang Ying couldn't help but sneer, "Mr. Luo Wen, when your sister mentioned the name Lan Yin, her eyes were filled with boundless hatred, not like she was reminiscing about an old friend."
Luo Wen was not a rash person, so he naturally wouldn't easily believe Huang Ying's one-sided words, but he also wouldn't blindly defend Lan Yin.
He will find out the truth.
Luo Wen didn't continue to refute Huang Ying. Getting back to the point, he asked, "Are you the researcher who took care of my sister? Can you tell me why her tongue was pulled out?"
"And her teeth..."
The oriole suddenly fell silent.
After a long silence, she suddenly said to Li Xi, "Child, go out. You don't want to hear what I'm about to say."
Li Xi guessed what Huang Ying was about to say.
My mother was beautiful, and it's not surprising that they would do other beastly things to her, given that they were a bunch of bastards who treated living people as research subjects.
But considering that no mother wants her child to know her most embarrassing side, Li Xi pretended to be clueless and obediently got up and went out.
Stepping out of the bedroom, Li Xi threw herself into Gu Huaizhou's arms.
She asked Gu Huaizhou, "When will the International Court of Justice try those bastards?"
"Five days later."
"Gu Huaizhou, I want them all to die."
"Even if the court doesn't sentence them to death, we'll find other ways to send them on their way. Natural disasters and man-made calamities, there are plenty of ways!"
After learning about her mother's ordeal, Li Xi's worldview was shattered.
At this moment, she didn't want to be a good person; she wanted those beasts at the research institute to pay for their blood debt!
Gu Huaizhou said, "Don't worry, neither I, nor your maternal grandparents, nor your uncle will let them get away with this."
Sending them to court to face punishment is simply to make the world remember their wicked faces and their crimes.
The law will give them a fair and just punishment.
but.
Why should animals be treated fairly and justly?
Once the International Criminal Court announces its verdict on those beasts, various forces will naturally send them to hell.
The Gu family would not stand idly by.
This is not only to avenge Wu Meng, but also to protect Li Xi.
As the daughter of Wu Meng and Zhou Yangzhi, Li Xi's situation is extremely dangerous. Gu Huaizhou must take precautions in advance to prevent those evil forces from having any chance to strike.
Hearing Gu Huaizhou's assurance, Li Xi calmed down a bit.
Inside the room, Huang Ying spoke until her throat was dry.
After listening to Huang Ying's story, even a tough man like Luo Wen was moved to tears.
After a long while, Luo Wen hastily wiped away the tears from his face with his sleeve.
"Thanks for letting me know."
After calming down, Luo Wen stood up, picked up the lighter and pistol on the table, and said in a low voice, "Ms. Huang, you can stay in Nanyang to continue recuperating. We should be able to get news from Qingshan Town soon. I will notify you as soon as there is any progress."
After tucking the pistol into his waistband, Luo Wen turned to look at the pale-faced woman and said, "I apologize for saying that Li Xi is your niece."
The oriole was furious. "You lied to me!"
"Feel sorry."
Luo Wen did not deny it. "I lied to you. But now I suspect that your brother may really be Li Xi's father. I will send your blood and Li Xi's blood for testing later."
“If you are truly aunt and niece, then you are a guest of my Fifth Family.”
"take a good rest."
Luo Wen didn't want Li Xi to see his red, swollen eyes, so he walked out of the room and strode away.
Huang Ying lay back on the large bed, feeling utterly helpless. The blurry yet upright figure of Luo Wen floated into her mind. After a long while, she murmured in confusion, "Why doesn't a powerful, wealthy, and influential old man get married?"
"Do you like men?"
"Is there still something wrong?"
But the thought of Luo Wen having seen her body made Huang Ying feel nauseous. "Ugh!" Huang Ying turned over, picked up the trash can, and lay down by the bed, retching uncontrollably.
Downstairs, Luo Wen had just instructed the bodyguards to guard the house when a subordinate came to report: "Sir, as soon as you left, Ms. Huang started retching while hugging the trash can."
Luo Wen: "..."
Seeing that the manager remained silent, the subordinates exchanged glances, all wondering if Ms. Huang was pregnant.
I don't know whose child is in the other person's belly.
*
After a night's rest, Feng Qing was in high spirits. After having breakfast, he wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go, take me to see Ms. Fifth Dream."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wen immediately accompanied Feng Qing to see Fifth Dream.
Fifth Dream has woken up, but her mental state is unstable. Fearing she might suddenly go berserk and attack people, Luo Wen had no choice but to have someone forcibly tie her to the bed.
Having been imprisoned for so many years, Fifth Dream had developed a dependence on being bound. When she was tightly bound by ropes, Fifth Dream's agitated emotions strangely calmed down.
When Luo Wen discovered this detail, his heart was breaking.
Li Xi was unaware of the reason why Wu Meng had stabbed her, and fearing that her presence would provoke Wu Meng again, she stayed in the lounge next door with Gu Huaizhou.
Zhou Zhiwei and Wu Jue both came over. The two elders didn't dare to get too close to Wu Meng, for fear of disturbing Feng Qing's diagnosis.
They sat in the tea room outside the bedroom waiting for the results.
Feng Qing is not only a versatile surgeon, but also a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in mainland China.
He had already seen Fifth Dream's medical examination report.
Upon arriving at Fifth Dream's room, Feng Qing first took Fifth Dream's pulse.
During the pulse diagnosis, Feng Qing's expression grew increasingly grave, which alarmed him greatly.
A moment later, Feng Qing took out acupuncture needles and inserted several needles into Wu Meng's head. Wu Meng's unfocused eyes actually gradually became clear.
Fifth Dream looked at Feng Qing with a tearful expression, as if she had a million words to say but no desire to even speak.
She has kept silent ever since her tongue was cut out.
Seeing this, Feng Qing sighed deeply.
Gently patting Fifth Dream's arm, Feng Qing said softly, "A painful life is like a tree trunk pierced by swords. The tree may be alive, but its trunk is already riddled with holes."
“I know your heart has long since died, but child, you have now returned home.”
"You don't have much time left, so if you can, spend some time with your parents. They've had a very difficult time searching for you all these years."
"Also, the girl you hurt yesterday isn't a bad person; she's your daughter."
Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Fifth Dream's cheeks, and in the end, she opened her mouth and cried silently...
After crying, Fifth Dream quickly fell into a deep sleep again.
After removing the acupuncture needles, Feng Qing went to the small living room. He looked at the two elders with a heavy heart and shook his head, saying, "I am powerless to help your daughter with this illness."
"Your daughter has a special body. She looks very young because she is naturally slow to age. But your daughter's mental world is already riddled with holes, like a withered old tree with even its roots rotten."
As a doctor, Feng Qing naturally hoped that his patients could recover, but Fifth Dream was no longer a person; she was just a beautiful but empty shell.
"Fifth Master, find a sunny and pleasant place to send her away."
"Living is painful for her."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiwei burst into tears on the spot.
The fifth one gripped his cane tightly, tears streaming down his face.
The bedroom suite door was open, and Li Xi stood in the middle of the corridor outside the door, clearly hearing Dr. Feng Qing's instructions.
She looked wistfully at the exquisite Persian carpet beneath her feet, and only when she saw tears falling onto the surface of her leather shoes did she realize that she was crying.
