Li Shu looked at Lin Qi, then at Lin Yong. He vaguely guessed something, coughed lightly, and whispered, "Tell me, what do you want to exchange?"

Lin Qi bit her lip and her eyes became even more vague.

She hesitated for several minutes before she seemed to have prepared herself mentally: "I came to see Lord Li Shu today to serve as a witness."

"The genetic comparison results are out."

Lin Yong looked bewildered. Lin Qi continued, "Lin Yong is indeed my biological brother."

Lin Yong shuddered and spoke subconsciously, "Huh? Isn't the genetic comparison result coming out tomorrow morning?"

Lin Qi's expression showed a bit more patience, and she explained in a low voice: "I have my own way to see the genetic results in advance."

"Anyway, shut up first."

Lin Yong opened his mouth. Although he had guessed that Lin Qi was his biological sister before, his mind was blank after getting the exact data.

After a long time, he finally closed his mouth, but he still looked at Lin Qi without blinking, with a look that was a little complicated and tender.

Lin Qi ignored his silly look and locked her eyes on Li Shu.

"I can trade what I know for what he knows."

"As for whether or not I should forgive him, and acknowledge him as my brother, I hope Lord Li Shu will consider that I have told him everything I know and not force me."

Li Shu's expression was gentle. He pressed his temple and said softly, "Don't worry. I rarely force others to do anything, unless that person is truly hopeless."

Even those politicians, Li Shu had given them chances time and again.

Even Qiao Lu Si and Li Shu were given another chance.

Lin Qi had obviously heard about these things, so the expression on his face eased a lot.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "I hope Lin Yong will speak first."

Li Shu looked at Lin Yong with an inquiring look, and he nodded repeatedly. As long as he was willing to communicate, it would be fine. He shouldn't be so resistant whenever the past was mentioned like before.

Even though both of them knew each other's identities, they didn't dare to say anything more.

Lin Yong's lips trembled slightly.

The incident happened when Lin Qi was three years old, and Lin Yong was just seven years old at that time.

Their parents are both researchers, and they have inherited some of their parents' talents.

When Lin Qi heard Lin Yong introduce his parents, her expression did not change at all, and her eyes did not seem to wander.

It was not until Lin Yong mentioned that when she was three years old, her family went to Garden Star to attend an academic conference that Lin Qi responded slightly.

"You mean, you were originally going to attend an academic conference?"

Lin Yong nodded. "Yes, when we went to Garden Star, we didn't go on a trip, but to attend an academic conference."

"I heard my mother mention it later. The research topic at the time was how human genes could break through the upper limit. Even without awakening the star beast, they could break through their own genetic limitations and accomplish things that were originally impossible."

Lin Qi pursed her lips before saying, "This is unrealistic. It's impossible to do."

Lin Yong turned to look at her: "Everything starts from the impossible and becomes possible."

“The things we need to explore are always unknown areas. If we don’t try them because they are unrealistic, then humanity will never be able to make progress and will only remain where it is and remain stuck in its current state.”

Lin Qi's body was trembling slightly, and Lin Yong and Li Shu could even hear the sound of her teeth chattering when she spoke.

"But, if, as you say, this topic was already being studied 25 years ago, why haven't any successes or failures been reported yet?"

"Don't talk about secret clauses or confidentiality agreements. You and I are both researchers, and we know that some things can't be restricted by secret clauses."

Lin Yong's eyes were slightly melancholic: "Because something happened."

"It happened during that academic conference discussion 25 years ago."

Lin Qi looked a little confused. Lin Yong took a deep breath and continued, "Do you know about the tragedy on Garden Planet 25 years ago?"

"The Garden Building collapsed, crushing 117 people to death. All of them died, and no one survived."

Lin Qi's expression changed slightly, obviously he had checked this matter.

Because she had no memory before the age of fifteen, she calculated her age and investigated all the things that happened in the roughly same time frame.

When she found out about the tragedy on Garden Planet, she also suspected that it might be her parents...

Lin Yong unconsciously stroked his wrist with his fingers and whispered, "Even if the building collapsed, how could it be so coincidental that everyone died? There weren't even those seriously injured who couldn't be rescued."

“All died on the spot.”

He closed his eyes slightly: "Father passed away in that accident."

"My mother has never been involved in this issue. Her main research area is plant growth and development."

"But even so, she was hunted and investigated by those people."

"It was at that time that you and I became separated from our mother."

Lin Qi keenly sensed something and asked suspiciously, "You also got separated from your mother?"

Lin Yong nodded: "Yes, I got separated too. It was Chen Liang who saved me. We grew up together."

"Later, my research talent became more and more apparent, and I gradually became famous, but I never gave up looking for you and mother."

"I've been working hard for so many years, but by the time I see my mother... it's already too late."

His lips trembled slightly, and he even sniffed a little before he whispered, "When I saw her, she was already exhausted."

"Before I left, I was most worried about you. Let me continue to look for you..."

Lin Qi interrupted him and asked doubtfully, "You mean, she's still alive after that incident..."

Hearing the suspicion and caution in Lin Qi's words, Lin Yong interrupted her with a slightly annoyed look: "That's our mother, are you doubting her?"

Lin Qi's expression was cold. "I'm sorry, I don't have any memories before the age of fifteen, and I'm skeptical about what you said, so I wanted to clarify."

"If, as you said, all the people who attended the academic conference died in that building, why is she still alive?"

"Even after that, he was hunted for so long and still survived."

"At one point, I even held on until you went looking for her, and then I asked you to continue looking for me."

"No matter how I think about it, the logic inside is not self-consistent."
