Chapter 810 Doubts

Zhou Wen's face was filled with black lines. He explained, "How can I have an illegitimate daughter? I picked her up."

"Adopted? I thought she was your daughter, and I would have fun with her in the future." Ouyang Lan was very disappointed, as if she wished Zhou Wen had ten or eight illegitimate children.

"If you like children, why don't you adopt one yourself?" Zhou Wen said.

Ouyang Lan rolled her eyes at him. "I already have two sons and a daughter, and I'm going to adopt a grandchild. Isn't that embarrassing? Tianzuo is such a loser. He just works every day and doesn't even have a partner. I'm counting on you and Xiaojing now. Don't be like Tianzuo. Find a wife as soon as possible and give me some grandchildren to play with."

"Sister Lan, I'm only a sophomore. This isn't urgent, right?" Zhou Wen was speechless.

"Why not? Girls in school are easier to cheat. If you can't cheat them in school, it will be even harder to find them after you go out." Ouyang Lan said.

"Uh!" Zhou Wen didn't know what to say.

"Anyway, if you pay attention to me, I think Wang Lu is pretty good. It's a pity that she will definitely take charge of the Wang family in the future, so she won't be able to get married. By the way, don't you have a female classmate who was admitted to Guide High School together? I think her name is Fang Ruoxi, right? I think that girl is also quite good, with a big butt that is good for giving birth..."

"Sister Lan...have some tea..." Zhou Wen quickly poured a cup of tea for Ouyang Lan, finally making her stop for a moment.

Ouyang Lan took a sip of tea, glanced at Ya'er who was sitting there, and asked, "This little girl is quite pretty, but it's a pity she's not your biological child. What's her name?"

"She doesn't have a name yet, so I gave her a nickname called Yaer." Zhou Wen replied.

Ouyang Lan sighed and said, "In this day and age, too many people die and there are many orphans. In Luoyang, it's still okay because there are places specifically for orphans to take in. At least they still have a way to survive. In smaller cities, if their parents die, the orphans really have no way to survive. If they meet kind people who adopt them, they can still survive, but in this world, where can we find so many kind people?"

"You still need to practice and study now, and you are still a child. How can you know how to take care of a child? I will help you take care of her first. When you have time, go home to see her." Ouyang Lan said, and walked to Yaer, wanting to hug her.

"Sister Lan, Yaer is not an ordinary child. She is very sensible and doesn't need my care. She knows everything and can do it by herself." Zhou Wen hurriedly stopped Ouyang Lan.

Zhou Wen had seen how ruthlessly Yaer had destroyed the Xiao family, so he didn't dare let Yaer follow Ouyang Lan to the An family. If someone in the An family made her unhappy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What can a little kid like her understand? Don't worry, I raised Tianzuo and Xiaojing myself, so I have experience." Ouyang Lan said with a kind smile, opened her arms and said to Yaer, "Be good, Yaer, come home with your pretty sister, okay? Your pretty sister has lots of delicious candies and beautiful clothes at home."

Yaer sat on the sofa, looked at Ouyang Lan, and then turned her head away.

Ouyang Lan's eyes twitched, and then he took two steps and came to Ya'er again, and continued: "Follow the beautiful sister, there are many toys and delicious food."

Yaer turned her face to the other side again, and Ouyang Lan followed her.

Zhou Wen was speechless. Ouyang Lan had just said that other people's children were boring, but now she seemed determined to take Yaer back home.

"Sister Lan, how's the investigation into Chu He going?" Zhou Wen was afraid that this awkward situation would continue, so he quickly found a topic. Zhou Wen also really wanted to know whether Chu He's trip to Zhuolu was true or not.

"On the surface, there's nothing wrong with the Chu River going to Zhuolu. All the timings are correct. If you hadn't discovered the Chu River in Huangquan City, no one would have suspected anything was wrong with the Chu River in Zhuolu."

Ouyang Lan paused and continued, "But because everything about Chu He was so perfect, it made people feel like something was amiss. But I couldn't find anything, so I changed the direction of my investigation and investigated every member of the team. It turned out that every one of them had a clean record and seemed to have no problems on the surface. But I discovered that they all had one thing in common."

"What's the common point?" Zhou Wen asked immediately.

"After arriving in Zhuolu, most of these people have had little or no contact with their families. Although communication is not very convenient nowadays and there is no signal in Zhuolu, they will return to the base more or less, and it is normal for them to call their relatives and friends at home. Even if there are a few workaholics or heartless people among them, it is not likely that most of them are like this, right? I have visited their relatives and confirmed this. They really rarely receive calls. Even if they do, they are the ones who call, and the other party always says they are busy and hangs up in a hurry after a few words."

Zhou Wen frowned secretly after hearing this: "Could it be that many of the people in the old principal's group were impersonated like Chu He?"

"It seems very likely now." Ouyang Lan nodded.

"Who did this and what was his purpose?" Zhou Wen said thoughtfully.

"This is what I can't figure out. Among those people, many are authorities in various fields. It is not easy to find people to impersonate them, not to mention that it has to be seamless. Such a large layout is not something that ordinary people can do. And they must have a plan for doing all this, but what is their plan? We have almost explored Zhuolu, and it seems that there is nothing worth doing at the moment." Ouyang Lan said.

Zhou Wen felt that what Ouyang Lan said was correct. To set up such a big scheme, the motive must be extraordinary. But what was there in Zhuolu that was worth setting up such a scheme?

The old principal and his men were only going to study Zhuolu. They did not have the ability to kill Zhulong and Qiongqi. Not to mention Zhulong and Qiongqi, even Ao Yin could kill them all.

The other party has the ability to set up such a big plan. They can organize an expedition team on their own and there is no need to follow the old principal and others.

"What do the old principal and his colleagues have that others don't?" Zhou Wen said.

"I've been thinking about this question too. Based on the information we've learned from the current investigation, there's no valid answer." Ouyang Lan said helplessly.

Zhou Wen suddenly thought of the password left by the old principal and the metal block containing a strange coin.

"Could it be that the coin is what they want?" Zhou Wen thought to himself.

On second thought, Zhou Wen thought of the silver-haired companion pet locked in Qin Xiyuan's store. The large metal block connected to the chain on his body had a corresponding relationship with the small metal block Zhou Wen got. If Zhou Wen had not seen the large metal block, he would not have thought that the string of numbers given to him by the old principal would be the password.

"Could there be something inside that big piece of metal?" Zhou Wen pondered to himself.
