Chapter 1596 Recognize Relatives?

"So... Xiao Qiao is actually my granddaughter?"

After reading the document about the bloodline plan in his hand, Lu Zhou was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth.

"To be precise, it's a great-granddaughter... At least for now, as long as the person concerned agrees, a newborn born in this way is legally recognized," Xing Bian shrugged, organized his words and continued, "To tell the truth , After seeing the news, I was actually quite surprised.”

"..."

Looking at the document in his hand, Lu Zhou felt overwhelmed with mixed feelings, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Feel offended?"

"...That's not true." Putting down the document in his hand, Lu Zhou was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "It's just that I didn't expect my descendants to come to this world in such a way."

Not only that, compared to his own feelings, it was actually Xiaotong who made him feel more complicated.

She has never even been married, but she has to accept the pressure from society to play the role of a single mother, give that child an identity that can live in the sun, and raise him up for herself...

Seeing Lu Zhou with complex writing on his face, Xing Bian lowered his arms on his chest and talked about his own point of view.

"On October 23, 2025, Chen Yushan went to Shangjing No. 301 Hospital to visit the cryo-sleep department, and met your sister the next day. Although it was just your sister's dictation, the time can be matched."

"Although there is no direct clue that Ms. Chen Yushan is related to this plan, but through the analysis of these materials, I can infer that she should be aware of the bloodline plan, and her whereabouts should also be related to it."

Lu Zhou: "How did this connection come about?"

"October 23rd is the second day after the completion of the Bloodline Project. I'm not sure what happened after that day, but something important must have happened..." Staring seriously at Lu Zhou's eyes, Xing Bianyong had a hint of In an excited tone, he continued, "Want to dig out the truth 100 years ago? As long as you ask, I can help you."

...

To be honest, Lu Zhou is not sure whether this guy wants to help him out of sincere gratitude, or just out of some curiosity or bad taste.

However, it is always a good thing for him to have the help of powerful figures from the Security Bureau.

Sitting on the maglev car heading to his descendant's home, Lu Zhou, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke while watching the passing street scene outside the window.

"Actually, I have always been very hesitant about the past."

"It's nothing, everyone is like this," Sitting in the driver's seat, Xing Bian casually said in a chatty tone, "Sometimes the truth is not the more you know, the better. The key is that you want to What are you looking for, what are your desired outcomes.”

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou looked at him in the driver's seat in surprise.

"Can you understand this feeling?"

"Of course, after all, the future can be expected, but the past is a fait accompli. Even if you know a lot of things, you can't change anything, you can only add trouble to yourself," said this sentence as if nothing had happened, Xing Bian grinned He grinned and continued, "So the truth is actually a very cruel thing. I've seen it too much."

"...So why do you say this with a smile?"

"Laugh? Me?"

He raised his right hand and stroked his chin indiscriminately, realizing that his expression was somewhat inappropriate, and quickly pressed down the corners of his raised mouth, how funny that look was.

"I only help you out of caring, how can you think I'm laughing? Think about it... If it weren't for you being my friend, who would cause so much trouble for yourself when you are idle."

"Okay," Lu Zhou looked away, and sighed softly, "...Actually, I also understand that if such a fucking thing happened to you, I would probably laugh out loud."

"Pfft...cough," put his fist against his mouth, Xing Bian coughed twice to cover up his gaffe, "Sorry, I was choked just now."

Lu Zhou: "..."

This guy……

Do you want to fight?

...

The maglev car stopped slowly, and after paying the fare, Lu Zhou followed Xing Bian's footsteps and got on the elevator, and soon came to the door of an apartment on the 20th floor.

After pressing the doorbell, the two waited quietly for many seconds, and soon there was the sound of slippers rubbing against the floor behind the door.

Accompanied by the sound of opening the door, a wrinkled face poked out from the crack of the opened door, casting questioning gazes at the two people at the door.

"You are……"

Just halfway through the sentence, the second half of the sentence got stuck in his throat.

Seeing the old man's eyes gradually widening, Lu Zhou knew that he had recognized his identity, but he still said politely in a gentle tone.

"Lu Zhou... In terms of seniority, I should be your grandfather."

"Come in, please come in..." For some reason, there was a hint of embarrassment and shame on the expression on his face. The old man lowered his head submissively, forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to come to visit me, an incompetent junior. The family really There is nothing to entertain, what do you want to drink, I will help you buy it online."

Lu Zhou: "Plain water is fine."

The decoration of the room is very simple, with a modern minimalist feel of the last century.

Before coming here, Lu Zhou learned the name of the old man from Xing Bian.

His name is Lu Feng, and he is the baby born in the laboratory—that is, the son of Lu Yuan, and also the grandfather of Lu Xiaoqiao, who is now over seventy years old.

If his son whom he had never met——Lu Yuan, was still alive, he would probably be in his nineties.

Unfortunately, if I wanted to meet him, I probably didn't have the chance. Even though the average life expectancy of people in this era is very long, it is obvious that not everyone can live to such an age.

"I want to ask you something about the past." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lu Zhou didn't touch the water glass on the coffee table, but just stared at the old man sitting across from him, and said straight to the point, "Can you Tell me everything you know?"

The expression on the old man's face became more and more ashamed, and he lowered his head heavily.

"I'm sorry about Xingkong 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 met Lu Yuan?"

Hearing this question, the old man was stunned for a moment, with a bewildered 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, and he replied in an ambiguous voice.

"Of course... she is my grandma, and she is a very kind woman in my impression."

Staring at him intently, Lu Zhou said suddenly.

"You have something to hide from me."

Hearing this sentence, the old man couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"How come, you are the ancestor of our Lu family, I can't hide it from you."

At this moment, Xingbian, who was sitting next to him and had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"Listen, we are investigating a case 100 years ago. This matter is very important, even 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 plan," Xing Bian continued, staring at the old man's cloudy pupils, "you should have investigated this matter, and tell me everything you know."

The air in the living room was quiet for a few minutes.

Facing the two people sitting across from the coffee table, the old man was silent for a long time, finally sighed softly, and stood up from the sofa.

"I had already decided to bring these secrets into the grave...but since you are the one who came."

Shaking his head, he looked at Lu Zhou and spoke slowly, then continued.

"Let me take you somewhere."

"There... may have the answer you want."
