"So … Xiao Qiao is actually my granddaughter?"
After reading the document about the Bloodline Project in his hand, Lu Zhou was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"To be precise, she is my great-granddaughter … At least for now, as long as the parties agree, newborns born in this way are legally recognized." Xing Bian shrugged, organized his words, and continued, "To be honest, after seeing this news, I was actually quite surprised."
"…"
Looking at the document in his hand, Lu Zhou's heart seemed to be overturned with mixed feelings. He didn't know what to say for a while.
"Do you feel offended?"
"Not really." After putting down the document in his hand, Lu Zhou was silent for a long time. He sighed and said, "I just didn't expect my descendants to come to this world in this way."
Not just that, but compared to his own feelings, what made him feel more complicated was actually Xiao Tong.
She had never been married before, but she had to endure the pressure from society to play the role of a single mother. She had to give that child an identity that allowed him to live under the sun and raise him on her behalf …
Looking at Lu Zhou, who had a complicated expression on his face, Xing Bian put down his arms and expressed his point of view.
"On October 23, 2025, Chen Yushan went to Beijing 301 Hospital to visit the cryo-dormancy department, and met your sister the next day. Although it was only your sister's dictation, the time matches.
"Although there is no direct clue that Ms. Chen Yushan is related to this plan, through the analysis of these materials, I can infer that she should know about the Bloodline Project, and her whereabouts should also be related to this."
Lu Zhou: "How did you come to this connection?"
"October 23, the second day after the completion of the Bloodline Project. I'm not sure what happened after that day, but something very important must have happened … "Xing Bian continued with a hint of excitement as he stared seriously into Lu Zhou's eyes." Do you want to dig out the truth from 100 years ago? As long as you ask, I can help you. "
…
To be honest, Lu Zhou was not sure whether this guy wanted to help him out of sincere gratitude or just out of curiosity.
However, it was always a good thing for him to have the help of a powerful figure in the Security Bureau.
Sitting in the maglev car on the way to his descendant's home, Lu Zhou, who had been silent along the way, suddenly spoke.
"Actually, I've always been very hesitant about the past."
"It's okay, everyone is like this." Xing Bian said casually in a chatty tone while sitting in the driver's seat, "Sometimes the more you know, the better. The key is still what you want, and what is the result you hope for. "
Lu Zhou glanced at him in the driver's seat with some surprise.
"Can you understand this feeling?"
"Of course, we can look forward to the future, but the past is a fact. Even if you know a lot of things, you can't change anything. It can only add to your troubles. "Xing Bian grinned and continued," So the truth is actually a very cruel thing. I have seen it too much. "
"… So why did you say that with a smile?"
"Smile? Me? "
Xing Bian raised his right hand and touched his chin randomly. Realizing that his expression was a little inappropriate, Xing Bian quickly pressed down the corners of his mouth. His expression was as funny as it could be.
"I helped you purely out of concern. How can you think I'm smiling? Think about it … If it weren't for the fact that you are my friend, I wouldn't be looking for so much trouble for myself. "
"Okay." Lu Zhou sighed softly and said, "Actually, I understand. If such a f * cking thing happened to you, I would probably laugh out loud too."
"Pfft … Ahem." Xing Bian put his fist against his mouth. He coughed hard twice to cover up his gaffe. "Sorry, I choked just now."
Lu Zhou: "…"
This guy …
Does he want to fight?
…
The maglev car stopped slowly. After paying the fare, Lu Zhou followed Xing Bian's footsteps and stood on the elevator. They soon arrived at the door of an apartment on the 20th floor.
After pressing the doorbell, the two waited quietly for many seconds. Soon, the sound of slippers rubbing against the floor came from behind the door.
Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, a wrinkled face poked out from the crack of the door and cast a questioning look at the two people at the door.
"You are …"
Halfway through his sentence, the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.
Seeing the old man's eyes gradually widen, Lu Zhou knew that he had recognized his identity, but he still spoke politely in a gentle tone.
"Lu Zhou … In terms of seniority, I should be considered your grandfather."
"Please come in …" For some reason, the expression on the old man's face had a trace of embarrassment and shame. He bowed his head and forced a smile. "I didn't expect you to come to see me, a useless junior. There is really nothing at home to entertain you. What do you want to drink? I'll buy it for you online. "
Lu Zhou: "Plain water is fine."
The decoration of the room was very simple, with a modern minimalist feel of the last century.
Before coming here, Lu Zhou learned the old man's name from Xing Bian.
His name was Lu Feng, the baby born in the laboratory, Lu Yuan's son and Lu Xiaoqiao's grandfather. He was now in his seventies.
If his son, Lu Yuan, who he had never met, was still alive, he would probably be in his nineties.
Unfortunately, she probably wouldn't have the chance to see him again. Even though the average life expectancy of people in this era was very long, obviously not everyone could live to this age.
"I want to ask you something about the past." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lu Zhou did not touch the cup on the coffee table. He just stared at the old man sitting opposite him and said, "Can you tell me everything you know?"
The expression on the old man's face became more and more ashamed. He lowered his head heavily.
"I'm sorry about Star Sky Technology …"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter, what I want to know is another thing." After a pause, Lu Zhou looked at him and continued to ask, "Have you seen Lu Yuan?"
Hearing this question, the old man was stunned. He couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.
"Of course I have, he is my father …"
"What about Lu Xiaotong?"
Hearing this name, a trace of confusion flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. He replied in an ambiguous voice.
"Of course … She's my grandmother. In my memory, she's a very kind woman."
Staring at him intently, Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.
"You are hiding something from me."
Hearing these words, the old man couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Of course not, you are the ancestor of our Lu family. I can hide it from anyone but you."
At this moment, Xing Bian, who had been sitting next to him and had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
"Listen, we are investigating a case from 100 years ago. This matter is very important. For the sake of your ancestors, I hope you can answer every question truthfully."
Old man: "What do you want to know …"
"Everything about the Bloodline Project." Staring at the old man's turbid pupils, Xing Bian continued, "You should have also investigated this matter. Tell me everything you know."
The air in the living room was quiet for a few minutes.
Facing the two people sitting across the coffee table, the old man was silent for a long time. He finally sighed softly and stood up from the sofa.
"I had already decided to take these secrets to the grave … But since the person who came is you."
Shaking his head, he looked at Lu Zhou and spoke slowly.
"Let me take you to a place.
"There … may be the answer you want."
