Chapter 1595: Relative?

“So… Xiao Qiao is actually my granddaughter?”

After seeing the Bloodline Project document in his hand, Lu Zhou said following a long period of silence.

“To be precise, your great-granddaughter… At least for now, as long as the people who are involved agree to it, newborns born this way are legally recognized.” Xing Bian shrugged and continued, “To be honest. After seeing the news, I was actually quite surprised.”

“…”

Looking at the document in his hand, Lu Zhou had mixed feelings. He didn’t know what to say for a while.

“Feeling surprised?”

“Not really…” Putting down the documents in his hand, Lu Zhou was silent for a long time. He said with a sigh, “I just didn’t expect my descendants to come into this world this way.”

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

She never got married, but she felt the pressure from society to play the role of a single mother, give that child an identity, and raise him by herself…

Looking at Lu Zhou, Xing Bian lowered his arms around his chest and talked about his opinion.

“On October 23rd, 2025, Chen Yushan visited the cryo-hibernation department at Beijing 301 Hospital. She met with your sister the next day. Although this was just your sister’s account, the timing matches.

“Although there was no direct clue to indicate that Ms. Chen Yushan was related to this plan, through the analysis of these data, I can infer that she should be aware of the Bloodline Project, and her whereabouts should be related to this.”

Lu Zhou: “How is she related?”

“October 23rd was the second day after the completion of the Bloodline Project. I am not sure what happened after that day, but something very important must have happened…” Staring at Lu Zhou’s eyes, Xing Bian said with an excited tone, “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 sincerity or was it just out of some kind of curiosity.

However, it was always a good thing to receive help from powerful figures from the Security Bureau.

Sitting in the maglev car heading to the home of his descendants, Lu Zhou, who was silent all the way, suddenly spoke while looking at the landscape passing by outside the window.

“In fact, I have been very hesitant about the past.”

“That’s normal, everyone is like this.” Xing Bian said casually while sitting in the driver’s seat, “Sometimes, knowing the truth isn’t necessarily better. The key is what you want and what you expect.”

Lu Zhou glanced at him with a look of surprise.

“You understand this feeling?”

“Of course, after all, the future can be expected, but the past is a fact. Even if you know the truth, you can’t change anything. You can only add troubles to yourself.” Xing Bian grinned and continued, “So, the truth can actually be a cruel thing. I have seen too much.”

“Why did you say this with a smile?”

“Smile? Me?”

Xing Bian raised his right hand and rubbed his chin. He realized that his expression was inappropriate. He quickly wiped the smile off his face.

“I help you purely out of concern. Why would I laugh? Think about it… If you weren’t my friend, would I be adding so much trouble to myself?”

“Fine.” Lu Zhou sighed slightly. “Actually, if such a weird thing happened to you, I would also probably laugh.”

“Pfft…” Xing Bian pressed his fist against his mouth and coughed twice. “Sorry, just a cough.”

Lu Zhou: “…”

Um…

What is this guy doing?

…

The maglev car came to a halt slowly. After paying the fare, Lu Zhou followed Xing Bian’s footsteps and stood on the elevator. They soon came to the door of an apartment on the 20th floor.

After pressing the doorbell, the two waited quietly. The sound of footsteps came from behind the door.

Along with the sound of the door being opened, a wrinkled face peeked out of the opened door and cast a questioning glance at the two people at the door.

“You guys are…”

Halfway through the sentence, the person froze.

The old man’s eyes widened gradually. Lu Zhou knew that he had recognized his identity, but he still spoke politely in a gentle tone.

“Lu Zhou… I should be your grandfather.”

“Please come in…” For some reason, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed and ashamed. The old man lowered his head reluctantly, smiled, and said, “I didn’t expect you to come to see me, a worthless grandson. There’s not much at home, but if you want to drink something, I can buy it online.”

Lu Zhou: “Water is fine.”

The decoration of the room was simple, with a minimalist contemporary feel.

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

His name was Lu Feng, Lu Yuan’s son and also Lu Xiaoqiao’s grandfather. He was now in his seventies.

If his never-before-seen son, Lu Yuan, were still alive, he would probably be more than ninety years old.

However, there was probably no chance to meet him. Even though the average life expectancy of people in this era was very long, obviously not everyone could live to that age.

“I want to ask you something about the past.” Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lu Zhou didn’t touch the cup on the coffee table. He just stared at the old man sitting opposite him and went straight to the point.

“Can you tell me what you know?”

The expression on the old man’s face became more and more ashamed. He lowered his head heavily and muttered, “I’m sorry about Star Sky Technology…”

“That no longer matters. What I want to know is another thing…” Lu Zhou looked at him. After a pause, he continued to ask, “Have you met Lu Yuan?”

Hearing this question, the old man was stunned, and he had an inexplicable expression on his face.

“Of course I have seen him, he was 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 tone, “Of course… She was my grandmother, she was a very kind woman.”

Staring at him intently, Lu Zhou said suddenly, “You are hiding something from me.”

Hearing these words, the old man couldn’t help but smile.

“Why would I? You are the ancestor of our Lu family. I won’t hide anything from you.”

Xing Bian suddenly spoke.

“Listen, we are investigating a case from 100 years ago. This matter is very important, for your ancestors’ sake. I hope you can answer every question truthfully.”

Old man: “What do you want to know…?”

“Everything about the Bloodline Project.” Xing Bian continued to stare at the old man’s muddy pupils as he said, “You should have investigated this matter before, so tell me everything you know.”

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

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

“I decided to take these secrets to my grave… but since it is you who came.”

He shook his head before looking at Lu Zhou.

After a while, he said slowly, “I’ll take you to a place. The answer you want might be there.”
