Chapter 167 is finally back.

"What? Wasn't I doing research? How did I get back? What happened?"

Looking at the yellowed photo in his hand, Zhang Shenghuan burst into tears.

"No, Lao Si and the others are all gone. Now I'm all alone. My research team is down to just me. How am I supposed to go on? How can I face the people?"

“Uncle Zhang, we have to leave quickly. I need to take you abroad to help you regain your senses. Actually, you lost your mind because of the shock. I will explain to you later. You are the hope of our medical community. A talented person like you should not be forgotten.”

Zhang Shenghuan was completely bewildered when the two men led him out of his house, and the three of them boarded the fastest flight abroad.

On the plane, Zhang Qiang told his father everything that had happened during this period, leaving Zhang Shenghuan stunned.

How could I have done such a thing? It feels like a dream, so unreal.

It seems like I've been living in a daze lately.

He took the two to his workplace, where police tape had already been put up.

To be precise, the cordon had been in place for a long time, and the place had turned into ruins.

Looking at his former workplace, Zhang Shenghuan felt a moment of disorientation, his head throbbing with pain. He crouched down, clutching his head.

Gu Yunxi gave the two a safety charm and told them to stay where they were and not move.

He then went to his workplace to find that lost soul.

The factory was in ruins, and weeds were growing everywhere inside.

Gu Yunxi sighed for a long time, which means that Zhang Shenghuan's situation has been going on for quite some time.

How did he get back? Perhaps it was because of that strong belief; he was probably only clear-headed during that part of the journey.

After wandering around the factory for a while, I finally found that dark figure.

He kept repeating the same tasks, muttering to himself: "Strange, something just doesn't feel right."

Even in this state, he still couldn't forget his job.

"Zhang Shenghuan?"

Gu Yunxi called out to the figure, who suddenly stopped working, glanced at her, and then resumed her work.

Sigh! Looking at those dark figures, I feel like crying. Researchers always work tirelessly, while we sometimes envy their higher salaries. What's there to envy about such dedication? All we feel is admiration.

My father is also a medical worker, but I rarely felt his love. In my memory, he often left early and came home late, always working. I was even dissatisfied with him and would often lose my temper. Now I realize I was wrong; I shouldn't have acted that way.

Seeing that he was unresponsive again, Gu Yunxi went forward, grabbed him, and forcibly dragged him out.

Zhang Qiang stood not far away, watching him, his father, and that shadow.

Tears actually streamed down her face.

Zhang Shenghuan finally recovered. He sat on the ground, looking at the factory in the distance, and the past events came vividly to mind.

He pulled the photo out of his pocket; everything was no longer the same.

"It's over, everything is over!"

Zhang Shenghuan's eyes were filled with endless despair. His compatriots were all gone, and now he was the only one left in the research team.

"Uncle Zhang, you have to pull yourself together. You are at the very top of academia. If we lose you, it will be a great loss to our medical community."

"dad!"

Zhang Qiang squatted down and hugged his father. "I've always looked up to you as a hero since I was little. I'm so proud of you and dreamed that one day I could stand shoulder to shoulder with you and contribute to the medical field in our country. Cheer up! Your son will be taking the college entrance exam next year. Let's work together, okay?"

Zhang Shenghuan looked up and glanced at his son. He had been abroad for a long time and rarely paid attention to his son.

Most of the time, I would just call him and remind him to study hard, not to be playful, and to be filial to his grandmother and mother.

I never imagined that little boy would grow up so much and become so sensible.

He just sat there on the ground, reflecting on the stupid things he had done over the past two weeks.

It felt as if another person was controlling my body.

Does your ear still hurt?

"It doesn't hurt. As long as Dad comes back, it's all worth it."

Perhaps it was because the Heavenly Soul had returned; apart from being a little thinner, his father's face had become gentler, and the father he used to know had finally returned.

When they got home, their mother and grandmother were pacing anxiously inside, and two policemen were sitting on the sofa.

Unable to find his son and grandson, the elderly man became extremely anxious and called the police.

Zhang Shenghuan's unusual behavior made them wary; if he took their son away and hurt him, the family would be completely ruined.

"Mom, wife, we're back."

At this moment, Zhang Shenghuan's face had lost all its hostility, and even a slight smile appeared.

She hadn't used this nickname in the past two weeks; every day she was either torturing herself or her family.

Both men noticed that the man had changed; although he was still very thin, the two men in hats left when they saw that he had returned.

When Zhang Qiang told his mother and grandmother what had happened that day, they were both so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

They've met their second parents! They went there by plane and came back almost at lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been led to the door by Master Gu.

"So there really are such extraordinary people in the world."

Grandma Zhang had always been a vegetarian and a Buddhist, and she wondered if her good deed had moved Heaven to send a wise man to save her son.

After that, the family lived happily together, and Zhang Shenghuan also took a job at a local research institution. Many years later, he saw that the assistant beside him had become his son.

He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"Yunxi!"

Gu Yunxi was half asleep when her third brother woke her up. What was wrong now?

After she finished washing up, she glanced at the time and it was only a little past 6 o'clock.

Is Third Brother having a fit of madness?

"So early?"

"Of course it should be earlier. I was worried that your cultivation speed would slow down since you've been away from home these past two days. I'm just reminding you out of embarrassment."

Gu Yunlang said through gritted teeth.

[Third Brother, is he angry that I didn't bring him? Things were so urgent, sigh! Why are men harder to appease than women?]

"Alright then, I'll practice with you."

They practiced Tai Chi all morning without exchanging a single word. Gu Yunxi, however, felt that her third brother had suddenly become spiritually enlightened. It seemed that the third brother was undoubtedly the first in the family to have such an awakening.

"Don't be so stingy. I'll definitely take you with me next time I go out. You'd better be prepared."

After thinking for a moment, she took out a bracelet from her bosom and handed it to her third brother.

"If I keep this with me, I can reach you immediately if anything happens. It's much more reliable than a cell phone."

"That's more like it!"

Gu Yunlang put on the bracelet, which had a small red bead on it.

It probably isn't worth much money, but it suits me quite well. After thinking about it, I realized that no one else seems to be wearing this bracelet. I'm so happy!

Live stream begins.

"Huh! It's a young male teller. Does he work at a bank?"

The man was well-dressed and not very old; he must have just started working and still hadn't lost his college naiveté.

Wang Botao stared at the camera, unsure how to speak. After a long while, he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Host, a sum of money has disappeared from my account. Can you help me catch the culprit?"
