Rong Qi chuckled dryly, "Is that so? At that time, Miss's coordinates were on Nora Star, but she was adopted and living a peaceful and happy life. The head of the family went to Nora Star once and never mentioned bringing Miss back. It wasn't until two years later that things changed."

"When Miss was 8 years old, 003 suddenly asked the main family for help, but apart from a message that Miss was in danger, there was no news again. The head of the family could not find the coordinates, and when he went to Nora Star again, she was no longer there. This time, it was more than a month ago that 003 finally reappeared."

"You can't find me because there's no news from 003?"

"Yes. Because—cough, for some reason, 003 has a very high degree of autonomy, unless she contacts us on her own initiative, or the head of the family uses all the resources of the Ling family to find her."

“It’s because he didn’t care about being kicked out of the military,” Ling Yue corrected.

"Well, that's true. Anyway, if the Ling family is really ostracized from the military, their future won't be easy. They might even be accused of treason. 003 is a top-tier AI, and unless it's damaged, no one can stop it from sending out a distress message, so we assume you're safe for now. Anyway, that's all."

"San'er".

Having already determined that most of its owner's memories before the age of 8 were blank, 003 said to itself, "There is no falsehood."

Lian Han remained silent. Rong Qi's narrative actually had quite a few flaws. For example, why would the Ling family head abandon bringing her home after going to Nora Star? Why did 003 cry for help when she was 8 years old? And why did she appear in Muluo after that...?

The girl fell silent, so Rong Qi could only continue, "We've come to take you home, Miss Xinyue."

"You originally planned to acknowledge me on my birthday?" Lian Han asked, propping his head up with one hand as he looked at Ling Yue.
