Long Jingyan looked at the old man in front of him, whose eyes were full of wisdom.

This old man... he's hiding his true nature very well.

He knew that even though he had been by his grandfather's side for many years, he had never realized his grandfather's cunning and shrewdness.

"I'm sorry, I've never told you what happened to your father back then." Old Master Long's eyes darkened. "If I hadn't failed in raising my son, your fifth uncle wouldn't have done such a thing."

"All of humanity will not have to suffer the pain of the virus."

"If Gu Mei hadn't died back then, Xiao Qian wouldn't have lost her mother at such a young age..."

When the topic turned to his sorrow, Grandpa Long sighed deeply, "I don't know how to face Xiaoqian. I'm so sorry to her."

Seeing the sadness in Old Master Long's eyes, Long Jingyan said, "You don't need to be too sad. After all, Dr. Gu has been resurrected."

"Qianqian is very happy with Dr. Gu now."

The happiness that Qianqian wants has always been simple.

It's not about becoming an outstanding individual, but about having the simplest kind of family happiness, fatherly love, and motherly love...

But she lacked the simplest happiness since childhood.

He resonated with her because they both lacked the same thing since childhood.

Therefore, they supported each other as they grew up, becoming each other's most sincere reliance.

However, Qianqian forgot all their beautiful memories.

"Yes, although the trouble was caused by your fifth uncle, he was once a member of the Long family after all." A glint flashed in the depths of the old man's eyes. "Our Long family needs to clean up the mess as soon as possible."

"I'll have to trouble you to talk to Xiaoqian about this and help her develop a drug to inhibit the virus as soon as possible."

"yes."

...

When Grandpa Long and Long Jingyan first talked about the Black Hole Gate from back then, everything seemed to be a completely open and honest conversation.

However, after Long Jingyan left the study, the old master Long's wise eyes went blank, and a strange, unfathomable quality appeared in them.

As Long Jingyan left the study, his thoughts were no longer as clear as when he first arrived; instead, they had become even more confused and unclear.

It was as if the good hand I was dealt had suddenly been shuffled and rearranged.

After reshuffling the cards, he was no longer sure if they were good cards or not.

“Ah Yan.”

Seeing Long Jingyan come out, Xia Qing went up to him and asked in a sweet and charming tone, "Aren't you having dinner at home tonight? I'll have Chen Ma prepare your favorite dishes?"

Long Jingyan's thoughts were pulled back, and he coldly raised his eyes, "No need, Aunt."

His aunt has been very good to him over the years.

She treated him like a mother would treat her own child.

Unlike his second uncle, he did not regard him as an enemy.

“Okay, then let’s have a family meal together when you’re free next time,” Xia Qing said with a smile.

The reason she was able to stay in the Long family for so many years was entirely due to her good temper; she never showed her bad side.

Perhaps over time, she almost forgot what she originally looked like.

"Um."

Long Jingyan agreed and prepared to leave.

As if remembering something, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. "When my aunt married my second uncle, I think I was already born, right?"

Xia Qing was slightly taken aback. "Yes, you've already been born."

Long Jingyan fell into deep thought once again.

"Ah Yan, what's wrong?" Xia Qing asked, puzzled.

Long Jingyan smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I'm leaving."

Unlike his cold attitude towards anyone other than Mu Qian, his attitude towards Xia Qing was somewhat more lenient.

His father was two years younger than his second uncle, and his mother, whom he had never met, and his aunt were probably around the same age.

After her father died, as her grandfather had said, her mother also perished at the gates of the black hole, just like her father.

He was cared for by his aunt from a young age.

Therefore, he would unconsciously regard Xia Qing as someone of his mother's generation, and naturally he would have more respect for her.

Watching Long Jingyan's departing figure, Xia Qing's gentle eyes held a hint of smugness.

A child raised with all one's heart will eventually become docile.

Even if we can't rely on Long Xiaosheng in the end, there's still Long Jingyan, and we can still obtain the immortality technique.

Xia Qing had been patiently waiting for this opportunity for many years.

We will definitely not let all our efforts go to waste in the end!

After leaving the Long family home, the car drove on the road.

Mo Jin could almost sense that the oppressive atmosphere inside the car started from the moment Yan Ye got in.

Did the old man say something to Master Yan?

Why is Master Yan so serious?

At this point, it's absolutely necessary to ask Ms. Qian a question.

If she were here, Master Yan would be very happy.

Mu Qian: Since you messaged me, I'll make my appearance.

"Buzz!"

Long Jingyan's phone vibrated a few times.

Take it out and look at it.

WeChat: Qianqian.

Upon seeing this name, Long Jingyan's stern, icy face instantly softened.

Mo Jin was somewhat stunned when he saw it through the reflector.

I thought to myself, could it really be that Miss Asahi wrote to me?

Nanfeng: Has Mo Jin switched to fortune telling?

Mo Jin: Alright, let me tell your fortune?

South Wind: Get out!

Long Jingyan opened WeChat and clicked on Mu Qian's chat box, which was pinned to the top.

Mu Qian: When will you take me to see your lab? I want Wu Xuan to be resurrected; I can't wait even a quarter of an hour longer.

Long Jingyan looked at the message Mu Qian sent, and a handsome smile curved his thin lips.

Reply: Who stepped on your back again?

Mu Qian: You should admit it, you definitely installed a surveillance camera on me.

at the same time.

In the conference room, Mu Qian's eyes, filled with a calm yet stern gaze, fell upon director Li Cheng.

Because of Wu Xuan's death, Mu Qian's team is now one member short.

Numerous entertainment companies are eager to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit talent.

No one cares how tragic Wu Xuan's death was; she had only been dead for less than a day.

That's just how the world is; when you're glamorous and successful, everyone idolizes you.

When you die or fall on hard times, nobody will care.

Wu Xuan's death just makes room for those artists who want to climb the ladder.

Nobody is afraid of being accused of profiting from someone else's misfortune or stepping on Wu Xuan to advance their own career.

What's even more frightening is being relegated to obscurity and never getting a chance to rise again.

"I don't agree to adding anyone!" Mu Qian said in a cool and arrogant tone.

Regardless of whether Wu Xuan is dead or not, no one will be added to their team.

The spirit of a team is the spirit of having no one missing from the team.

"I disagree too," said Qu Xiaofei.

“I disagree,” Zhang Ziyue said.

"I object," said Le Ting.

"Xuanzi just left, is it really okay for you to do this?" Chen Bailan asked sincerely.

Each of them has their own independent soul, unaffected by any factors.

I'm still heartbroken and can't get over Wu Xuan's death.

But the production team had to come and bring them down at this crucial moment.

Is there any humanity left in this world?

Li Cheng frowned. "Sigh, please be more understanding of me. Am I, a living person, really less valuable than a dead person?"

"I had no choice."

Li Cheng rarely tries to play the victim, and he almost burst into tears instead of putting on a good performance.

"How dare you compare yourself to Xuanzi?" Mu Qian was about to curse in frustration. "You're not worthy!"

Li Cheng: "..."

I felt a little embarrassed.

This girl is really something.

Mu Qian suddenly stood up from her chair, clearly having lost patience to continue talking to Li Cheng. "Fine, since you want to add more people, then add them."

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng was overjoyed. "Really?"

They thought Mu Qian had suddenly come to her senses and given in.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qian suddenly said, "I announce my withdrawal from 'Dream Fly'."
