Lu Jin's eyes widened as he looked at the old yellowed photo on Gu Nianzhi's phone. He reached out with a trembling hand and stroked the phone screen. He stammered, "Where … Where did this photo come from?!"
"You don't have to worry about that. It's not like we haven't done anything recently." Gu Nianzhi wanted to take her phone back, but Lu Jin grabbed it and refused to let go. His gaze was filled with longing, and he wished he could imprint the photo in his heart.
Seeing Lu Jin like this, Gu Nianzhi couldn't bear to take the phone away. She sighed and said, "Do you know what Qin Suwen looked like when she was young?"
Lu Jin shook his head subconsciously.
"… You don't know?" Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "No wonder. When you saw me grow up, didn't you think there was something fishy about it? "
Lu Jin was stunned. He looked away in a panic, retracted his hand, and silently returned to the sofa to sit down.
Lu Yuan had been silently watching the father and daughter. When he saw this, he got up and made two cups of tea. He placed one cup in front of Lu Jin and the other in front of Gu Nianzhi.
Lu Jin took the tea and slowly took a sip.
The taste of this tea was very good, but it was a little bitter when it entered the mouth. After a while, the aftertaste slowly filled the mouth with a sweet fragrance.
Lu Jin licked his lips and put down the teacup. He lowered his head and said, "After you came back, I saw what you looked like when you grew up. I had a guess … but I didn't confirm it."
"What are you guessing? Why didn't you confirm it? "Gu Nianzhi softened her voice and tried not to give Lu Jin any pressure.
A person like Lu Jin had a serious interpersonal disorder. This psychological disorder meant that when dealing with interpersonal relationships, he would try his best to take everything on himself. He wouldn't look for help from others, and he wouldn't think from someone else's point of view. Moreover, because he was too smart and had a much higher IQ than ordinary people, he often felt lonely and unable to communicate with others. Over time, it also aggravated his interpersonal disorder.
Gu Nianzhi was one of the few people he could open his heart to care about and communicate with. The other person was Lu Yuan, but he still had reservations about Lu Yuan because Lu Yuan also had reservations about him.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi could only choose this method to not provoke Lu Jin.
Lu Jin shook his head. "What does it matter? She had already passed away. If they really went to verify it, they would let others know. She's perfect and shouldn't have any flaws, be it morally or in reality. She shouldn't have to bear these things. "
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood.
Her gaze sharpened in an instant.
"Dad, you know who my biological mother is, but you never thought of making this matter public. You wanted Qin Yaoguang to continue bearing this name, right?"
That was why he had lied to her during the DNA test.
"It just so happens that Qin Yaoguang's plastic surgery is very similar to how I look when I grow up, so you can make the best of it."
"This way, no one will question the mother-daughter relationship between Qin Yaoguang and me. After all, we look so alike. Other than our noses, our eyes, eyebrows, lips, and the shape of our faces are exactly the same. "
Lu Jin was a little embarrassed by Gu Nianzhi's gaze, so he could only look up at the sky.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Lu Jin didn't say anything, so she nodded. "If you don't say anything, I'll take it that I guessed right."
The corners of Lu Jin's mouth twitched twice, and he looked at her sideways. He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't say a word of denial in front of Gu Nianzhi's tenacious and unyielding gaze.
Those eyes looked at him like the eyes he had seen when he was a teenager when he followed his father around the hospital.
The best memory in Lu Jin's heart was triggered, and he couldn't help but talk non-stop.
"… The first time I saw her was after her car accident."
"I followed my father, Gu Haoze, to the hospital for a ward round and saw her."
"She was still a little girl, less than ten years old. Her entire body was burned, and her entire face was wrapped in gauze. Only her eyes were exposed."
"I've never seen such beautiful eyes before. It wasn't the appearance of her eyes that made me think they were beautiful, but her eyes. They were tough and tenacious, and didn't have the fear and panic that burn patients often have."
"Her eyes were abnormally lively. Even though her entire face was wrapped in gauze, it didn't diminish the spirit in her eyes."
Lu Jin paused at this point, as if he was trying to find words to describe his feelings.
Then he said, "… Her eyes were like a pair of glowing bodies. No one could ignore the spirit in these eyes. It made you think of all the beautiful things, like the clear sky after a summer rain. It had the power to cleanse one's heart. It was exactly the same as Nianzhi's eyes. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She touched her eyes. She had never thought that her eyes would be so beautiful …
Lu Jin was immersed in his memories. There was a smile on his lips, and his gaze was distant. It was as if he had returned to that afternoon when he followed his father down the long corridor of the hospital.
"My father, Gu Haoze, is a famous psychologist. He is responsible for helping these burn patients with psychological counseling so that they can overcome their fear of the fire and live a normal life."
"My father has counseled countless burn patients, but he was full of praise for this little girl who was burned. He said that she was mentally tough, and that she almost didn't need psychological counseling."
"Therefore, they were just chatting normally and didn't undergo formal psychological treatment."
At that time, Lu Jin had an inexplicable interest in this little girl. He didn't know what this emotion was. He only knew that when he saw her and was by her side, he would feel safe and happy. He felt that there was nothing in this world that he couldn't conquer.
He could also easily solve the difficult high-energy physics problems. He could also continue reading the foreign language original books on biological genes that gave him a headache.
"… I often went to see her and sat in front of her bed for hours until a doctor came to change the dressing, until … a killer sneaked into the ward in the afternoon when there were many people."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. "Killer?! At that time, there was a killer who wanted her life?! "
Lu Jin nodded. "I happened to go see her that day, and I could tell at a glance that the person who was changing the dressing in her IV was not a hospital nurse. Although that person was wearing a nurse's uniform and a big mask, and was very skilled, I still found a lot of flaws."
Lu Jin gestured with his fingers and said, "… Hospital nurses don't have gun calluses on their fingers, and they don't wear wireless headsets in their ears. They change the IV while contacting the outside world."
"At that time, I had just become interested in electromagnetic fields, and I did a lot of small programs to test the electromagnetic fields around me."
"I looked at the abnormal electromagnetic signal displayed on my laptop and was sure that it came from the 'nurse' who was changing the dressing, so I released electromagnetic interference and turned it into sound."
"The 'nurse' was wearing a wireless headset, so she must have heard a loud bang in her ears. Because her expression suddenly changed, and she couldn't care less about changing the IV. She covered her ears and almost couldn't stand steadily. She took a deep breath before turning around and leaving in a hurry. "
"I only walked out of the crowd when I was sure that there were no accomplices of the 'nurse'."
At that time, Lu Jin was still a little boy less than ten years old. No one would notice that he had just foiled a murder case.
"I took the medicine bottle left behind by the 'nurse' and put it in my backpack. I called a nurse I knew to change her dressing."
"Fortunately, she was sleeping soundly and didn't know what had happened," Lu Jin said happily. He didn't feel any regret that he had saved someone, but the other party didn't notice.
He was simply happy that the little girl didn't have to face such a terrifying situation.
"After I went back, I tested the bottle of medicine and found that there was a drug inside that could silently kill people from heart failure."
"And burn patients are prone to complications, and that is death from heart failure."
If that was the case, Qin Suwen would have been killed silently.
"… I thought about it in the lab for a minute and decided to use public opinion to save her life."
"Because the person who wanted to kill her wouldn't just send one killer."
"This one failed. There were more people behind."
"And I was only one person. At that time, I was still a child, and I couldn't be by her side 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
"So I needed to mobilize other people to make the mastermind behind the scenes retreat."
"So I submitted an article to the biggest newspaper in C City. It said that her family had been in a car accident, and that her parents would rather be burned to death to protect their daughter."
"I knew that this kind of touching family love was the positive energy that the newspapers at that time liked to promote."
"Soon, the article was published, and countless reporters were sent to the hospital and the traffic police to interview the accident."
"More details of the car accident were revealed, and it aroused great sympathy from the public."
"More people went to the hospital to visit her, and there was an endless stream. The hospital naturally sent more nurses to her, and they stayed by her bedside almost 24 hours a day."
"The result was exactly as I expected. Ever since the report caused a huge reaction in society, the mastermind behind it was very afraid and didn't continue to send people to kill her."
Gu Nianzhi listened attentively. She couldn't help frowning and saying, "You were so young at that time. Why didn't you tell your father, my grandfather, Gu Haoze, about this?"
Lu Jin was stunned. "Why should I tell my father about something that I can solve myself?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"… So this matter has always been a battle between you and the mastermind?" The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched twice, and she was amazed.
If the mastermind behind it knew that the person who had foiled their long-planned plot was only a teenager who was less than ten years old, she wondered if he would vomit blood and die.
Lu Jin nodded seriously. "Yes, of course. They're no match for me. Although I'm not good at interpersonal relationships, my father has always taught me to do my own things and not to ask others to do them. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly and looked at Lu Yuan. She could see the same meaning in each other's eyes.
There were too many things you could do by yourself …
