Huo Shaoheng thought about it carefully and said, “That might be possible. Think about it. He successfully stole from Qin Yaoguang eight years ago. He must know something.”

“That’s right!” Gu Nianzhi sat up and exclaimed. “I remembered dad saying that he took me from the airport! I think it was an international flight! He must know where Qin Yaoguang was taking me!”

Huo Shaoheng frowned, “... An international airport? Was she trying to smuggle you out of the country? You have to ask your father which country the international flight was going to. Only by knowing this can we infer Qin Yaoguang’s true purpose.”

“Okay, I’ll go and ask now!” Gu Nianzhi jumped up from the sofa and ran towards the door.

Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi running away, speechless. He thought to himself, isn’t this what you call shooting yourself in the foot?

...

Gu Nianzhi tiptoed to Lu Jin’s laboratory.

Lu Jin was sitting alone in front of the instrument table in the middle of the laboratory equipment that was flashing with post-modern silver stainless steel. He stared blankly in front of him.

The DNA testing instrument was running, so he didn’t have to stare at the instrument all the time.

However, it was rare to see someone sitting in a daze like this.

Gu Nianzhi was a little surprised, but she didn’t show it. She knocked on the door quietly and beamed, “Dad!”

Lu Jin jolted back to his senses and turned to see Gu Nianzhi standing by the door smiling. His eyes lit up, “Nianzhi! You’re here!”

Gu Nianzhi walked in with a smile and said, “Dad, what do you want for dinner? I’ll get Mr. Peter to prepare it.”

Lu Jin pursed his lips, “What could he even make? He might as well go to a hotel and order.”

Gu Nianzhi held back her laughter, “Sure, whatever dad says. I’ll get him to order from a hotel.”

“Good girl,” Lu Jin was amused by Gu Nianzhi and was in a great mood. He pulled her to the ergonomic chair in the lab and assured her with a smile, “Don’t worry, the DNA data will be out soon.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and sighed, “Dad, did you think Qin Yaoguang is Wen Shouyi’s biological mother? I didn’t expect her to have an ‘illegitimate daughter’ before she gave birth to me.”

“It is flattering to call her an ‘illegitimate daughter’,” Lu Jin disagreed. “Qin Yaoguang only contributed one egg cell.”

“You knew that Qin Yaoguang did not give birth to her personally?”

“Of course not,” Lu Jin’s words were more believable than He Chengjian’s, “Back then, we spent at least ten hours a day in the same lab. Qin Yaoguang stayed up all night doing experiments every day. How could she have the time to get pregnant and give birth? Moreover, she had never gotten pregnant before.”

“No wonder,” Gu Nianzhi understood. She leaned back on the ergonomic chair and sighed, “No wonder no one suspected Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi’s relationship all these years.”

They looked completely different and had different ways of doing things. Their personalities were worlds apart.

If Liang Meili hadn’t been brooding over the fact that Qin Yaoguang had secretly looked for Wen Dayou eight years ago and insisted that Qin Yaoguang was Wen Dayou’s “mistress”, no one would have thought that Wen Shouyi had anything to do with Qin Yaoguang.

And they wouldn’t have bothered to verify their immediate family relationship.

Because the two of them looked too different.

Lu Jin pursed his lips and stole a glance at Gu Nianzhi. He said in a low voice, “If Wen Shouyi is Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter, what would you do?”

“Just throw it away,” Gu Nianzhi joked, Lu Jin looked a little nervous and Gu Nianzhi quickly comforted him. “I just wanted Liang Meili to testify against Qin Yaoguang. Now that I’ve achieved my goal, I don’t care about anything else. Do you think that I would be sad because Qin Yaoguang treats Wen Shouyi better than me?”

Lu Jin stared at her and emphasized, “You don’t care? Nianzhi, you need to tell me the truth.”

Gu Nianzhi was touched as she held Lu Jin’s hand. It turned out that Huo Shaoheng wasn’t the only one who noticed the change in her mood. It wasn’t as if her father didn’t know.

“So what if I do? And what if I don’t?” Gu Nianzhi shrugged. “I wished Qin Yaoguang wasn’t my mother, but she is. Wen Shouyi might be my half-sister now. What could I do? Do I have to give up my life because of this? I’ll just make do with it.”

Lu Jin opened his mouth but quickly suppressed the thought.

If he did say it, the consequences would be too severe. Not only would Qin Yaoguang go crazy, but there would also be another person who would scare him if he went nuts.

He could not predict what these two lunatics would do.

Would his daughter be like him, living in fear of hiding for the rest of her life?

Moreover, he believed that if everything about Gu Nianzhi was exposed by Qin Yaoguang, there would be more people chasing after Gu Nianzhi than him.

The Huaxia Empire would not only look for her, but other countries would also target her.

Was he going to let his daughter become a “guinea pig” again?

Then what was the point of him living?

Lu Jin lowered his head and said in a low voice, “... Even a desperate dog would jump over a wall. You have to be careful.”

“I know,” Gu Nianzhi replied in a relaxed mood.

Ever since she had met Huo Shaoheng, she no longer had that kind of deep-rooted fear.

Because she knew that Huo Shaoheng would protect her.

Gu Nianzhi remembered her purpose for coming here. Her eyes sparkled with excitement and she smiled, “Dad, do you think that a cold-blooded woman like Qin Yaoguang would kidnap me for Wen Shouyi?”

“I’m not surprised that she would do anything,” Lu Jin smiled slyly. “You can’t use a normal person’s mind to figure out a crazy woman’s thoughts.”

“But I always felt that she was such a selfish person. How could she offend the He family, especially Major General He, for a daughter that she had never taken care of? It’s not logical.”

Lu Jin listened quietly.

Gu Nianzhi stood up from the ergonomic chair and crossed her arms as she paced around Lu Jin’s lab. She said thoughtfully, “Dad, how did you know they were taking me to the airport eight years ago? Also, which country were they taking me to?”

He could answer this question.

Lu Jin immediately replied, “I was monitoring the He family at the time and accidentally discovered this plot against you. I planned to play along and take you away from the He family. You also know that I... couldn’t openly go to the He family to pick you up.”

“How did you find out about their plan?”

“I found out that Qin Yaoguang was the one who targeted you and tried to eavesdrop on her and got to know about their plan.”

“Oh,” Gu Nianzhi smiled and quickly asked, “Then where were they sending me?”

“Of course they were sending you...” Lu Jin was about to say something when he suddenly understood Gu Nianzhi’s intentions. He quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and glared at Gu Nianzhi, “It’s all in the past. What’s the use of asking these questions?”

“It doesn’t matter where they’re sending you. The important thing was that they didn’t succeed.”

Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks and her expression became calm, “Dad, so Qin Yaoguang had another motive, right? What about letting Wen Shouyi take my place? It was just a pretense to trick Wen Dayou and Liang Meili into working for her, isn’t it?”

“Her motive was to send me out of the country and into someone else’s hands. What did she want to do? Was there anything on me that’s worth taking such a risk for?”

“... Was it still my genes? She still wanted to use me as an experiment?!” Gu Nianzhi walked up to Lu Jin and looked down at him, slowly clenching her fists.

Lu Jin did not expect Gu Nianzhi to guess her motive so accurately based on her understanding of Qin Yaoguang.

Hundreds of thoughts ran through his mind in an instant, trying to figure out how to answer Gu Nianzhi without arousing too much suspicion.

His daughter’s insight was as terrifying as The Committee of State Security (KGB), the Soviet KGB.

Lu Jin shrunk his neck in fear and smiled sheepishly, “If she dared to have such thoughts, how could I agree with that? Look, I took you away, right? Stop thinking too much...”

“So my guess was correct. She did have a motive, and it had something to do with my childhood. This meant that she had accomplices abroad,” Gu Nianzhi said with certainty. “Dad, thank you for your answer.”

Lu Jin was tongue-tied, “When did I answer? That was a rhetorical question! Nianzhi, don’t talk nonsense!”

Lu Jin’s forehead was covered in sweat.

He had told her not to think too much!

How did she get so close to the truth?!

Amid the panic, the DNA testing equipment in the lab rang. Qin Yaoguang’s DNA data had been tested.

Now, she had to compare her DNA data with Wen Shouyi’s DNA data to verify her immediate family relationship.

Lu Jin was relieved and quickly said, “I’m going to verify the DNA of Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi. Nianzhi, wait for me here.”

Gu Nianzhi’s attention immediately shifted.

At this moment, she was more interested in whether Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi were biological mother and daughter.

If they were, then the case of Qin Yaoguang’s kidnapping could be closed very quickly.
