A dark cloud hung over Zhou Wen's head as he explained, "How can I have an illegitimate daughter? I picked her up."
"Picked her up? I thought she was your daughter. I thought I would have fun in the future. "Ouyang Lan was greatly disappointed as though she wished Zhou Wen had ten illegitimate children.
"If you like children, you can adopt one yourself," Zhou Wen said.
Ouyang Lan rolled her eyes at him. "I have two sons and a daughter. Isn't it embarrassing for me to adopt a grandson? That punk, Tianzuo, is a letdown. All he knows is work every day. He doesn't even have a partner. I'm counting on you and Little Jing now. Don't learn from Tianzuo. Find a wife early and give me grandchildren to play with. "
"Sis Lan, I'm only a sophomore. There's no rush, right?" Zhou Wen was rendered speechless.
"Why not? It's easier to deceive girls in school. If you can't even deceive them in school, it will be even harder to find them when you leave," Ouyang Lan said.
"Uh!" Zhou Wen didn't know what to say.
"Anyway, you have to be more diligent. I think that Wang Lu is pretty good. Unfortunately, she will definitely be in charge of the Wang family in the future. It's impossible for her to get married. By the way, don't you have a female classmate from Guide High School? Her name seems to be Fang Ruoxi, right? I think that young lady isn't bad. Her butt is big and she's fertile … "
"Sis Lan … Have some tea …" Zhou Wen hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Ouyang Lan, finally making her stop.
Ouyang Lan drank a mouthful of tea and glanced at Ya 'er, who was sitting there. She asked, "This little girl looks pretty good, but unfortunately, she's not your biological daughter. What's her name?"
"She doesn't have a name yet. I gave her a nickname, Ya 'er," Zhou Wen answered.
Ouyang Lan sighed and said, "In this era, too many people have died, and there are many orphans. It's still alright in Luoyang. There are special places to take in orphans. At least they still have a way out. If it were in smaller cities, orphans would really have no way out once their parents die. They can still live if they meet a kind-hearted person to adopt them, but in this world, how can there be so many kind-hearted people? "
"You still need to cultivate and study. Furthermore, you are still a child. How do you know how to take care of a child? I'll help you take care of her. When you have time, go home and visit her," Ouyang Lan said as she walked in front of Ya 'er, wanting to hug her.
"Sis Lan, Ya 'er isn't an ordinary child. She's very sensible and doesn't need me to take care of her. She knows everything and can do it herself." Zhou Wen hurriedly stopped Ouyang Lan.
Zhou Wen had seen Ya 'er's ruthlessness in destroying the Xiao family. He didn't dare let Ya' er follow Ouyang Lan to the An family. If someone from the An family made her unhappy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What can a little kid like her know? Don't worry, I brought up Tianzuo and Xiaojing myself. I have experience. " As Ouyang Lan spoke, she revealed an amiable smile and spread her arms at Ya 'er. "Ya' er, be good. Come home with Pretty Sis, alright? Beautiful sister has a lot of delicious candies and beautiful clothes at home. "
Ya 'er sat on the sofa and looked at Ouyang Lan before turning his head to the side.
The corners of Ouyang Lan's eyes twitched as she took two steps forward and came in front of Ya 'er. She continued, "Follow Pretty Sis. There are many toys and delicious food."
Ya 'er turned his face to the other side as Ouyang Lan followed.
Zhou Wen was rendered speechless. Ouyang Lan had just said that other children were boring, but now, she looked like she had to bring Ya 'er back.
"Sis Lan, how's the investigation on Chu He?" Zhou Wen was afraid that this awkward scene would continue, so he hurriedly found a topic. Furthermore, Zhou Wen really wanted to know if Chu He, who went to Zhuolu, was real.
"On the surface, there's nothing wrong with Chu He who went to Zhuolu. All the timing matches. If you didn't discover Chu He in Netherworld City, no one would suspect that there's anything wrong with Zhuolu's Chu He. "
Ouyang Lan paused for a moment before continuing, "However, because everything about this Chu He is perfect, it makes me feel that something is amiss. However, I can't figure anything out, so I changed the direction of the investigation and investigated all the members of the team. In the end, all of them have clean backgrounds. On the surface, there's nothing wrong with them. However, I realized that all of them have something in common. "
"What is it?" Zhou Wen immediately asked.
"After these people arrived at Zhuolu, most of them didn't or rarely contacted their families. Although communication isn't convenient now and there's no signal in Zhuolu, they will more or less return to the encampment. It's normal for them to call their family and friends. Even if there are a few workaholics or heartless people among them, it can't be that most people are like that, right? I went to see their families and confirmed this matter. They really rarely receive calls. Even if they do, they are the ones who called. Furthermore, the other party expressed that they were very busy. They hung up the phone in a hurry after a short conversation. "
Zhou Wen frowned when he heard that. Could it be that many members of the former principal's team were like Chu He and were impersonated?
"From the looks of it, it's very possible." Ouyang Lan nodded.
"Who did such a thing? What's his goal?" Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"This is also what I don't understand. Among those people, many of them are authoritative figures in various fields. It's not easy to get someone to impersonate them, not to mention to do it flawlessly. Such a grand setup is not something an ordinary person can do. Furthermore, there should be a motive for doing all of this, but what is it? Zhuolu has been mostly explored. From the looks of it, there doesn't seem to be anything worth doing, "Ouyang Lan said.
Zhou Wen felt that Ouyang Lan was right. To set up such a huge trap, the motive must be extraordinary. However, what was there in Zhuolu that was worth setting up such a trap?
The former principal and company were only studying Zhuolu. They didn't have the ability to kill Torch Dragon and Qiongqi. Ignoring Torch Dragon and Qiongqi, even Aoyin could kill them all.
If the other party had the ability to set up such a huge trap, they could have formed their own expedition team. There was no need for them to follow the former principal and company.
"What does the former principal and company have that others don't?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I'm also thinking about this question. Based on the current information, there's no valid answer," Ouyang Lan said helplessly.
Zhou Wen suddenly thought of the password left behind by the former principal and the metal block containing the strange coin.
Could it be that what they want is that coin? Zhou Wen thought.
On second thought, Zhou Wen thought of the silver-haired Companion Beast locked up in Qin Xiyuan's shop. The large metal block connected to the chain on his body was related to the small metal block Zhou Wen had obtained. If he hadn't seen the large metal block, Zhou Wen wouldn't have imagined that the string of numbers the former principal had given him was a password.
Could there be something inside that huge piece of metal? Zhou Wen thought to himself.
