After saying that, he casually scratched his hair, pushed open the door, and went out.

The two, one human and one soul, slowly walked into the huge garden. Lan Que found a patch of grass, sat down, and leaned against a huge flowering tree.

"Tell me, what are you and Yu Wei up to?"

Lan Que watched as Zhou Siyu opened and closed his lips, but no sound came out. Helpless, he summoned a servant.

He tapped the servant's forehead, and Zhou Siyu was sucked into the servant's body by a tremendous force.

How do you know Yu Wei?

Zhou Siyu was finally able to speak, though it felt strange being inside someone else's body.

"He's my son, how could I not know?"

“I…go…” Zhou Siyu’s eyes widened as she leaned close to Lan Que’s ear, “Are you Uncle Lin or Uncle Yu?”

What do you think?

"Uncle Lin...?"

Lan Que hummed in agreement and continued, "What exactly are you and Yu Wei up to?"

“He…he told me to go somewhere else to clear my head…” Zhou Siyu’s eyes darted around, but his expression remained unchanged. “He said I definitely couldn’t bear the pain, so he’d find someone to help me move my soul to another place…”

What did he say to you?

"Huh? Did he say something?"

Zhou Siyu expressed his innocence, saying that Yu Wei had sent him into the past to heal his psychological trauma, and he had no idea that he would be thrown into this time and space.

"After you left the Etolan experiment, he insisted on keeping you by his side despite everyone's objections, and then the accident happened. Do you think these are just coincidences?"

"This...isn't this an accident?"

Zhou Siyu scratched his head, deliberately avoiding the topic. He didn't want to admit that he had hurt Yu Wei, as it was too difficult for him to accept.

A lover should be protected by oneself, not harmed by oneself.

"I initially thought it was an accident, but we were all wrong."

"He used the orchid pheromones you released in an instant to put himself into a deep coma, and then had Mondor use his spatial abilities to send his soul to another dimension. Guess what he was looking for?"

"Looking for the rebels?"

Seeing Lan Que smile slightly, Zhou Siyu knew that he had guessed correctly and had inadvertently revealed Yu Wei's secret.

"As expected, you understand him better."

"I...I was just guessing, don't take it seriously."

Zhou Siyu waved his hand, this guy is too cunning. Old ginger is spicier. Yu Wei's flawless plan was seen through in an instant.

"It seems he already knows everything and has seen the true face of the rebel leader."

He had only been guessing at first, but when Zhou Siyu revealed the answer himself, his conjecture was now complete.

The plan began the day Mondo joined Yuwei, but Yuwei was very cautious and conducted many experiments before deciding on the final plan to ensure that he went to the correct time and space.

Mondo had contact with the rebel leader, and using this as an opportunity, he sent him to the past where the rebel leader was located, allowing him to see everything related to him.

Furthermore, due to his powerful mental strength, he was able to maintain communication with Mondor and keep abreast of all situations in the original timeline.

"He's incredibly audacious."

Zhou Siyu was speechless; Yu Wei was the real gambler.

He gambled that Mondor would lead him to the right plane, that Mondor wouldn't stab him in the back, and that he would find the truth about everything.

“He was very cautious. He didn’t choose to leave his body in Qingjiang, but sent it to the laboratory.” Lan Que’s expression was complicated, with both pride and sadness. “He deliberately signed the organ donation form, betting that I would bring him back to the laboratory, let me see the new organs growing inside him, and betting that I would find a way to keep him in the laboratory.”

"He schemed against everyone."

Zhou Siyu was a little angry. She didn't expect Yu Wei to be such a black-hearted person. He seemed harmless, kind and innocent, but who knew he was playing such a big game behind the scenes.

“No, he overlooked you.” Lan Que turned his head to look at Zhou Siyu. “He certainly didn’t expect you to get infected with the Kao virus, let alone that you would be sent to the laboratory.”

"He doesn't trust you?"

Zhou Siyu found it unbelievable. Yu Wei and Lin Ling seemed to have a good relationship. Could something have happened behind his back?

He was using everyone, yet he was also wary of everyone, including Lin Ling.

“He’s grown up.” Lan Que sighed. “A new emperor brings a new court. He’s trying to eliminate the power and influence we left behind. He doesn’t trust us.”

He and Lin Gu worked together seamlessly, throwing out the old faction to pave the way for Lin Gu, while using the information he transmitted to ambush the rebels and winning many victories.

Now, his prestige in the army far surpasses that of Zuo Li.

When soldiers referred to him, they no longer used prefixes such as "Yu Zhen's son" or "Zuo Li's student," but instead used "Chairman Yu" or "Yu Wei."

"Uncle Lin, don't be too sad, people..."

"What do I have to be sad about?" Lan Que smiled. "If he never grows up, I'll be more worried."

"He's doing fine as he is now."

If Yu Wei remains someone who is good for nothing but fighting, once the war ends, he will be a useless sword, destined for mediocrity.

The Yu family can protect him for a while, but not forever. A useless knife will become a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of others.

That's how the world is: survival of the fittest, the strong preying on the weak, the strong standing at the top, and the weak at the bottom.

"Uncle Lin, you must have been to this world more than once, right?"

Zhou Siyu awkwardly changed the subject; he didn't want to face the fact that Yu Wei had turned into a black-hearted glutinous rice ball—it was too complicated.

"I came, and I tried." Lan Que raised her head, reached out and caught a petal, and gently smelled it. "I tried many times, but I still couldn't change the outcome."
