Could it be that the person who used Zheng Luxi was Zheng Congen?
However, her rationality told her that although Zheng Congen was absolutely possible, there were still some things that were doubtful.
At this moment, Zheng Congen sighed faintly.
His already haggard face was filled with a bitter smile.
"It's all my fault. I was just thinking about handing the family over to someone I can trust. But I didn't expect that I would be so wrong all these years. "
"That's right. Other than yourself, who else can make you feel at ease? You won't make things difficult for your daughter and you can also protect the status of the Zheng family. Isn't that a win-win situation? "
Ya blamed him mercilessly. The guilt in Zheng Luxi's eyes accumulated.
"How many years can I live for? The second branch has always been eyeing her. If it weren't for Rongrong's brother, she wouldn't have been able to protect her. All these years, I asked her to put up with it again and again so that she could have a good future. However, I didn't expect Zheng Luxi to be so despicable. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Rongrong and I would have died. "
Brother?
Lin Mengya turned around and glanced at Long Tianhao.
The latter shook his head slightly. Obviously, he didn't know about this.
Could it be that Zheng Congen deliberately hid it?
"Master Zheng, since you want to cooperate with us, we'd better be honest about some things. We already know about Zheng Luxi. "
Lin Mengya felt that at this point, as long as Zheng Congen still had the slightest intention of forming an alliance with the Gong family, he would more or less reveal some flaws.
After all, the matter of immortality had not been confirmed. If he angered the Gong family now, it would be a big problem.
So what if he had immortality? Living a long life didn't mean that he wouldn't die.
However, Zheng Congen still felt so guilty, but no other emotions could be seen.
"I haven't thanked the two of you for Zheng Luxi's matter. But I can't promise you that Rongrong will inherit the family head for the time being. However, when her brother becomes the family head, I guarantee that he will never do anything that goes back on his word! "
"Brother? How can Miss Rongrong have a brother? Didn't Mrs. Zheng pass away a long time ago? "
Lin Mengya asked casually, but Zheng Congen was stunned.
He frowned as he looked at the woman before him and subconsciously said, "Don't you know that Rongrong has a brother?"
Seeing that she shook her head and seemed to be in a daze, Zheng Congen realized that there might be some misunderstanding between them.
After thinking for a while, he chose to tell the truth in the end.
"In fact, Rongrong has a younger brother. Back when my wife was frightened and had a hemorrhage, she gave birth to a boy who was less than a month old. At the time, I realized that someone wanted to harm my family. In order to protect this child, I had him sent to another place to be raised.
The second branch's ambitions weren't small, so I pretended to be helpless and had no choice but to choose Zheng Luxi as my successor. They bullied Rongrong in every possible way just to test my bottom line. All these years, I've indulged them and ignored Rongrong just to wait for this moment. Now that Zheng Luxi can no longer hold back, I have no choice but to reveal that child to the world in advance. "
He didn't expect the Zheng family to have such an inside story.
While Lin Mengya was surprised, she vaguely felt that things were not so simple.
"Then where is your youngest son being raised now?"
"For the child's safety, I sent him to a small aristocratic family to be raised. Every year, I would take every opportunity to see that child. Now, he's already a little boy. "
At the mention of his beloved son, Old Master Zheng's eyes were full of love.
Lin Mengya didn't like people who sacrificed their daughter to pave the way for their son.
But at the same time, she was sure of one thing.
The person who used Zheng Luxi was definitely not Zheng Congen.
Unless he wanted to use his own son as a tool for immortality.
But the problem was, if he wanted to do that, he wouldn't have asked her to protect his daughter so many times.
Zheng Congen had warned them once before, and it was also at that time that she became suspicious. She felt that Zheng Congen might know something about the reason why Zheng Rongrong's body became like this.
But after that, he didn't do anything, and even acquiesced in her helping Zheng Rongrong.
Obviously, it was not that he didn't feel guilty or didn't love his daughter.
If he was the kind of heartless person who would sacrifice his own son for immortality, then Zheng Rongrong would either be abandoned or used by him.
Therefore, she didn't think that Zheng Congen was acting in front of her.
"Although you have your plan, will those people who are eyeing the position of the head of the family let you get what you want so easily?"
It was not that Lin Mengya was pouring cold water on him, but the things done by the second branch of the Zheng family were not the kind that could be easily accepted.
At the mention of this matter, Zheng Congen was not so sure.
"Zheng Luxi is definitely not going to make it. Even if my second brother has some tricks, he can't use them. Moreover, once my son returns to the family, even if he wants to stop him, he can't do it without a good reason. "
"I'm afraid that even if you have a good plan, some people may not let you get what you want."
Hearing the complicated words in her words, Zheng Congen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Compared with the position of the head of the family, he now attached more importance to the safety of his two children.
Therefore, although he felt that the other party was a little impatient with him, he still threw away his pride and hurriedly asked, "Does Mr. Su know something? Please, you have to tell me! "
Although she didn't agree with some of his methods, Lin Mengya still felt that she should remind him.
"In your family, someone wants to achieve his goal and ambition with the art of immortality."
"What? This, this is impossible! How can there be the art of immortality in the world? "
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao's eyes never left Zheng Congen.
When they saw that when she mentioned the art of immortality, there was only pure shock in the man's eyes, without a trace of guilt, they finally confirmed that it was not Zheng Congen.
"That's the truth. Even Zheng Luxi is just a failed product of the art of immortality."
An idea flashed in her mind, and suddenly she connected some things together.
"Who else knows about the matter of your son?"
"This … except for a few people who dealt with him at that time, no one else knows. Even the people from that small aristocratic family only thought that they had adopted a distant relative. "
"That is to say, even you can't be sure whether this person is your son or not?"
Zheng Congen was about to refute, but he realized something was wrong.
He couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and looked a little anxious.
"No! I have to go and see for myself. Nothing must happen to the child! "
With that, Zheng Congen ran out in a hurry.
On the other side, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao realized the problem that they had been unable to figure out.
Zheng Congen used his daughter and protected his nephew in order to pave the way for his son.
At the same time, the man who wanted to achieve immortality also used Zheng Luxi, and in the end, he even abandoned him.
In other words, the purpose of both of them was very likely to be the same.
Then the means they used to achieve their goals might be exactly the same.
As long as Zheng Congen's son became the immortal man, everything could be done in a state of no one knowing.
Zheng Congen thought that he was inheriting his son, but he didn't know that the core of his son had already been replaced.
Such a treacherous arrangement was probably not something an ordinary person could do.
Lin Mengya just woke up from her contemplation, and saw that Long Tianhao was absent-minded, which was rare.
"What are you thinking of?"
She asked softly, and Long Tianhao looked a little stunned.
"Nothing, but there's something I haven't told you before."
"What is it?"
"Do you remember that when we were in the Zheng family, we once found that the room had been turned over?"
She nodded. That was indeed the case.
"Actually, I found something in the room. This thing is a kind of seed. But this seed is very strange, and my people have found it near the Immortal City. This seed can drill into people's bodies. "
Before confessing, Long Tianhao was afraid that after knowing the relationship with the Immortal City, she would be hot-headed and fall into the trap.
Therefore, he had been trying his best to isolate her from direct contact with the Immortal City.
But now, he could be sure that she would never choose this "shortcut", so there were some things that he would not hide from her.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing that she was the first to care about him, Long Tianhao felt warm in his heart. He shook his head and replied, "I'm okay, but after this thing drills into people's bodies, it will take root and germinate. In the end, it will burst the top of people's heads, which is very vicious. But before that, no one can see anything unusual. "
Just listening to it, she felt cold all over.
This seed was more poisonous than poison. If Long Tianhao was not vigilant, he would have fallen into the trap easily.
That was to say, someone wanted to kill them that night.
But choosing this method, it must be that they did not want to expose themselves.
"Where is the seed now, can I have a look?"
After hesitating for a moment, Long Tianhao took out a brownish-black leather bag from his bosom.
The two of them solemnly watched him take out two small black beads from the leather bag and hold them in his palm.
But to Lin Mengya's surprise, there was no reaction from the system at all.
In other words, with her current system function, she actually could not detect the life form of this seed.
This was strange. Even if it could not be detected, there would be a warning in the past.
But now, the system could not "see" this seed.
"This …"
She was a little choked.
For the first time, she had a very helpless sense of defeat.
"Don't worry, with me here, it won't hurt you."
Long Tianhao carefully kept the two seeds and comforted her softly.
In the system, Xiao Yao was also frantically searching for the reason.
