After Mu Cangnan finished speaking with Cheng Xiaohui, he quietly walked back.

The road was very dark, and the small flashlight he was carrying could only illuminate a step in front of him.

But he had a little parrot, which stood on his shoulder and guided him, telling him whether to go left or right.

He walked forward without any obstacles in the cave, heading straight for where Song Haoqiang was hiding.

After seeing Mu Cangnan leave, Cheng Xiaohui lowered her voice and said to Li Wenbo, "I really didn't expect it to be Mu Cangnan who came to save us! Mu Cangnan is a really good person!"

Li Wenbo said, "I've always said that Mu Cangnan is not bad, but you're just worried about his family."

In fact, putting family aside, Mu Cangnan is no worse than Du Jingshan, and is even slightly better than Du Jingshan.

At least in terms of future development, he will have a brighter future than Du Jingshan!

Cheng Xiaohui said, "Who cares about his future? I just hope my daughter marries a man who can make her happy and pamper her!"

"As long as I can see my daughter happily marry the right person, I wouldn't have any regrets even if it meant dying right then and there!"

Li Wenbo quickly covered Cheng Xiaohui's mouth and scolded her, "What are you saying? How could you die? Don't forget we still have to take care of our daughter's baby!"

"My daughter and son-in-law will definitely be very busy with work in the future and won't have time to take care of the children. We'll have to help them take care of them!"

Cheng Xiaohui nodded and said, "Yes, we still need to take care of Yue'er's baby! We can't let Yue'er get too tired!"

Actually, Li Xiulan is a good person. If Yue'er had two or three children, Li Xiulan would definitely help take care of them!

Is the child Li Xiulan is carrying actually Mu Cangnan's illegitimate son?

She has always held a grudge about this matter. Even if she is not picky about anything else, there is only this one thing she cannot compromise on: she cannot let her daughter marry and become a stepmother.

Li Wenbo said, "I think it's highly unlikely. Someone of his status wouldn't do something like that."

Du Jingshan said he is currently researching a DNA testing instrument that can use people's genetic information to determine whether a child is biologically related to their biological parents.

I don't know if he managed to create it. If he did, he could take the child and Mu Cangnan to do a paternity test.

"As long as the DNA test results show they aren't biologically father and son, you can finally relax, right? That means Mu Cangnan wasn't lying, and neither was Li Xiulan!"

Cheng Xiaohui felt that her husband was right; the instrument that Du Jingshan wanted to build would be completed soon.

Once that instrument is built, she will be able to determine whether the child and Mu Cangnan are related as parents.

She smiled and said, "Your method is good. As long as the test shows that they are not biological father and son, I will agree to Yue'er marrying Mu Cangnan!"

I respect Yue'er's wishes in this matter. I will no longer make things difficult for her and will prevent her from considering Du Jingshan again!

Li Wenbo said, "That's right. We should respect the child's wishes, after all, this is a matter of her whole life."

Du Jingshan is indeed a good person, but unfortunately, he's not the kind of person my daughter likes.

Cheng Xiaohui sighed. Why didn't her daughter like Du Jingshan?

She listened intently to the sounds coming from afar, wondering when her daughter would come to rescue them.

Following the little parrot's directions, Mu Cangnan walked all the way to the cave where Song Haoqiang was.

Song Haoqiang sat in the cave, with a kerosene lamp on his table.

He kept glancing at his watch, calculating how long Jiang Tao had been gone.

I wonder when Jiang Tao will be able to intercept Mu Cangnan and threaten him to take them away?

His heart was pounding; for some reason, a sense of unease washed over him.

This feeling is very unsettling, as if something terrible is about to happen!

Even after all that happened, he's still doing well, isn't he?

He believed in his abilities!

He picked up a bottle of baijiu, opened the cap, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

Only liquor can sober him up. How could his perfectly good life have turned out like this!

He was clearly a chosen one, someone who could have been the center of attention, but now he realizes he's gone astray and is on a path of no return!

Even if he lets Mu Cangnan take him and Jiang Tao out of the country, and he flies from that country to America, it still won't change his fate of running away!

In the end, he still lost to Mu Cangnan!

He clenched his teeth tightly, wondering if his grandfather was also clenching his teeth as he said Mu Cangnan was his grandson.

If that's the case, Mu Cangnan can't escape responsibility. Anyway, there's no way to find out whether Mu Cangnan is Zhao Jingsong's grandson!

He sneered, “Mu Cangnan! As long as my grandfather insists that you are his grandson, no matter how you deny it, it will be written in bold strokes in your file, and the higher-ups and leaders will never believe you!”

You'll be ostracized from the research group soon! Hahaha, if I can't have it, neither can you!

"You've always been the one holding me back. If it weren't for you, I would have been the research group leader long ago, and I would be the one receiving the higher-ups—it could only be me!"

Just as he finished his impassioned complaint, he tilted his head back and gulped down a few more mouthfuls of wine.

As his gaze focused, he was surprised to find a person's shadow on the wall opposite him.

No, that's not right! To be precise, there are two people's names!

One is him sitting, and the other is the figure of a person standing.

He sprang up from his chair with a start and turned to look behind him.

Mu Cangnan held a gun, the muzzle pointed directly at his forehead.

Mu Cangnan walked into the room and said, "So you've been holding a grudge about this all along! That's why you betrayed your country and joined the enemy!"

Have you ever wondered why I was sent abroad to study instead of you?

Is it possible that your superiors have long seen through you as the kind of person who would betray your country for a little personal gain?!

Song Haoqiang's face twitched violently. He said, "Even if I commit a crime for a little benefit, how can they guarantee that you won't betray your country for a little benefit!"

Mu Cangnan said, "Facts have proven that I have never betrayed my country! No matter how many tests I took, I passed them all."

Song Haoqiang was taken aback. He asked, "How many tests? What do you mean? What tests?"

Mu Cangnan said, "Before going abroad, when deciding who to send to study abroad, the higher-ups tested us, and tested us many times."

"You just didn't know those tests were tests, and I only found out after I went abroad to study."

Song Haoqiang's eyes widened suddenly. He had never imagined that when deciding who to send abroad, his superiors would actually test him and Mu Cangnan?!

Which one was actually a test?

He can't figure it out!

He screamed hysterically, "You lied to me!"
