Chapter 378: Chen Family Past (Dragon 1 Non-Dragon 5 World Line)
Noticing Lu Mingfei's undisguised "that's it" look, Nuonuo didn't get angry. Knowing she was no match for him in bickering, she said calmly:
"Although I was indeed quite pampered at home when I was little, in my father's eyes, I was just a cute and obedient pet who would be useful in the future. How could I possibly have the opportunity to access the core secrets of the family?"
Lu Mingfei turned his head and whispered to Eri, "Listen, she actually praised herself for being cute."
Eri thought about herself as a child and nodded in agreement: "Cute."
Lu Mingfei: o_O???
No, who taught you to talk like that?!
What, it's me? That's fine.
"Don't interrupt!" Nuonuo glanced at Lu Mingfei unhappily, muttering in her heart, "Eryi's aesthetic taste is obviously quite normal, so how come she was seduced by Lu Mingfei?"
Finger's ears pricked up, his gossipy spirit burning, eager to hear about the grievances and disputes of the aristocratic families. He urged, "You were useless as a vase when you were young, but you should be useful when you grow up, right?"
Although Nono is rich, she often works part-time with Professor Guderian and others. Her professional ability is well-known, and even her eccentric personality does not affect the professors' praise for her.
The only defeat was at the hands of Lu Mingfei, a weirdo who didn't play by the rules. Finkel estimated that with her personality, she would remember this for the rest of her life.
Her powerful profiling ability was revealed long before she entered Kassel Academy, so there was no reason for the Chen family not to take it seriously.
Upon hearing this, Nuonuo couldn't help but glare at Finkel. How come this guy's speech became less and less human after hanging out with Lu Mingfei?
What is useless? It means having talent but not using it!
She sighed slightly: "You always thought I only had one brother, right?"
Caesar nodded. Before coming here, he really thought that Nono only had a little brother who never grew up. This was no secret within the student union. When he was pursuing Nono, Finger had already made the information public, letting everyone see who the student union president's future girlfriend was.
"Of course not. You have other brothers and sisters who can form a football team together." Finkel said with his hands on his knees, his tone understated.
"Don't underestimate my intelligence network."
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Tang instantly imagined the scene of eleven Nonos in football jerseys running wildly on the green field, and immediately felt awe for the head of the Chen family, whom he had never met before.
This is not the head of the family, it's clearly a human-shaped seed drill.
All I can say is that it is a well-known family, and its expansion is guaranteed.
However, Nuonuo just glanced at him and said, "It seems your intelligence network is still not strong enough. From what I know, the brothers and sisters combined are enough to form five football teams."
Now, it wasn't just Old Tang who was in awe. Everyone present, except Eiry, who didn't even know the steps of childbirth, was shocked by the huge number.
"This... even the daughters adopted by the head of the Inuyama family don't have so many!" Ryoma Kaoru looked at the girl who was somewhat similar to the head of the Uesugi family, with shock in his eyes.
She stole a glance at Nuonuo's slender waist and found it hard to imagine that such a body could have such a terrifying fertility gene flowing in it.
Caesar was also a little unable to hold back his expression. Although his father Ma was a playboy, at least he did not have dozens of illegitimate children to compete with him for the family property.
And his future father-in-law's actions were like pulling Zeus from the Greek mythology down from the altar and taking his own place.
"It seems that the Chen family is indeed very powerful, otherwise the fine they paid back then would have been an astronomical figure." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.
"Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have that many wives, nor is he a stud like Caesar, who's always on the road sowing seeds." Nono shook his head, a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes swept over Caesar with a hint of amusement:
"He simply felt that his bloodline was extremely precious and excellent, and that it must be passed down like a rare antique. Furthermore, his numerous businesses required sufficient heirs to manage them."
"So, he also used genetic technology?" Lu Mingfei sat up straight and discovered the key to the matter.
Not only him, but Old Tang and Chu Zihang also looked serious.
"also?"
Nono caught the key words and subconsciously glanced at Eri. She immediately realized the problem, but did not ask any more questions. She just continued:
"Pretty much. He found a lot of women who met the requirements, made them pregnant through artificial insemination, and took the babies away after they were born. He allocated resources based on their qualifications.
Those with average qualifications will be sent to the nursery invested by the family, and those with excellent bloodlines will be sent to the manor to be taught by him personally."
Hearing this, Old Tang poked Long Ma Xun and said, "It sounds a lot like your Sheqi Eight Clans."
Long Ma Xun nodded. The eight Sheqi families would send children with dangerous bloodlines to the church academy in the mountains for custody. Only those with stable bloodlines could stay and live a normal life.
"Then you must be the best one." Caesar never hesitated to praise Nono.
If you are not envied by others, you are mediocre. Just look at the reactions of the four baby fathers at the airport, and you can see how outstanding Nono was when he was a child.
"Of course, I conceived normally. I have a mother." Nuonuo gently stroked the silver four-leaf clover earrings, her eyes filled with memories. She seemed to see the beautiful woman in a white dress on the green lawn of the manor, opening her arms towards her.
"I am different from the others. Although I don't have the power of words, I am still better than all of them."
She briefly described the strict reward system within the Chen family. The manor was like a breeding ground for poisonous insects. Only the most outstanding children could receive their father's brief favor, while she always enjoyed this favor alone.
"Later, he wanted his heirs to penetrate every country and every cultural circle, so we were dispersed to schools around the world to receive the best education. I went to the UK, away from my mother, and could only come back during the annual holidays."
At this point, her voice grew colder. "But then one day, news came from China that my mother was seriously ill. When I rushed back, I saw him bringing a new woman and telling me that this was my new mother."
“That was the moment I realized that in his eyes we were never family, but just chess pieces he carefully cultivated.
Mom, me, the other kids...were all just replaceable parts."
"After that, he never showed up again until my mother passed away." Nuonuo's eyes gradually became desolate, as if he had returned to the day when his mother died in front of his eyes in his childhood.
She stayed by her mother's side for two days and two nights as she stopped breathing, hoping countless times that her mother was just asleep. However, by then her ability to profile had already been awakened, and her brain reminded her every minute and every second that the person in front of her was just a corpse, and there was no possibility of her mother opening her eyes again.
But she still waited stubbornly, without crying or making a fuss, but in the end she only waited for the corpse collector to knock on the door.
The man she called father never showed up from beginning to end, nor did he ask a single question. He only sent a body collector to take away her mother's body, and then asked the housekeeper to inform her to go back to school after the funeral.
"What a sad story." Old Tang sighed slightly. He held Ryoma Xun's hand, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked her smooth and delicate back of the hand. He wanted to say that he would never become such an unfaithful man, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
In this situation, any promise seems frivolous and cheap.
Constantine listened quietly, his dark pupils calm.
In the long history of the dragon clan, such stories are too common. The attitude of those in power towards their spouses has always been like playing with an ornament that can be replaced at any time.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just like a certain person, when she asked for a wife for Fenrir, she didn’t care whether the other person cared or not. She just threw the one who was offered to her to Fenrir.
There is also a certain pervert among the King of Sky and Wind. Whether flying in the sky, walking on the ground or swimming in the sea, none of them has not been harmed by him.
In comparison, their Bronze and Fire Kings seemed particularly single-minded. One was obsessed with alchemy and revenge, while the other just wanted to live a good life with his brother.
Unfortunately, now my brother seems unable to resist his dragon nature and is fascinated by human women.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Jörmungandr, wanting to see how the King of Earth and Mountains would react.
How could Xia Mi react? She was playing with the ends of her hair out of boredom. She was not one of those little girls from Shilan Middle School who cried over love. How could she feel so uncomfortable, so sad, and so empathetic after hearing a story, and think that all men were pigs?
This kind of story has become commonplace in her long life and doesn't cause much ripples at all.
But after all, her current character is a naive junior school girl, so she still pretends to be like, "Wow, it makes me sad just listening to this. Senior, your dad is such a pure heartless man."
Then he nudged Chu Zihang with his shoulder without leaving any trace and whispered, "Mr. Chu, what do you think?"
It is said that a gentleman is judged by his deeds rather than his heart. Judging from their actions on the surface, Chu Tianjiao and Chen Motong's father are both scumbags.
In response to this, Chu Zihang just shook his head, saying that the two should not be compared.
Are you not going to act anymore?
Lu Mingfei, who was sitting on the same sofa, raised his eyebrows slightly. Old Chu just followed him back and they became classmates from senior brothers. If they continued to interact a few more times, the title between them would probably have to be certified by the state.
Nuonuo said this story not to complain or seek sympathy, but just to explain the conflict between himself and his family and why he could not access the key information of the family, so he was relieved to see their indifferent reaction.
Fortunately, they did not show any sympathy, otherwise she would have felt uncomfortable and itchy all over.
Caesar felt the same pain as her and felt pity for her. He raised his arm and put his arm around her shoulders: "It's just like when I was a child. When my mother died, I was the only one guarding her."
Nuonuo glanced at him sideways, and seeing the people across from her holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder, she thought being half-hugged wasn't unusual, so she ignored him.
"After that, I fell out with my family. All the brothers and sisters who were suppressed by me rose up, and now there are probably many people who are involved in the core affairs of the family."
What this meant was that if Lu Mingfei didn't mind the trouble, he could kidnap a few members of the Chen family and torture them for information.
And she, Chen Motong, will become the strongest interrogator.
Type it once first, then ask all the questions again after you’re done!
But Lu Mingfei didn't want to go through all this trouble. His experience on the set of Death Note told him that the more sophisticated the killing method, the easier it was to reveal flaws, while crimes of passion would leave fewer clues.
Instead of kidnapping and torturing each of them for information and alerting the Chen family, which would make the matter worse, why not seize the opportunity to go straight to the source? It doesn't matter who you ask, wouldn't it be more convenient and quicker to go directly to the head of the Chen family?
"There's no rush for this matter. Let's wait until the people from the Zhou and Bai families arrive." Lu Mingfei made up an excuse.
It is easy to deal with the Chen family, but there is a dark hand behind the Chen family.
Their main purpose of coming to the capital was to rescue Fenrir. It would be really troublesome if they failed to rescue the dragon and instead made things worse, making it impossible for them to stay in the capital.
It just so happened that the Zhou and Bai families also needed some time to prepare. If they took action against the Chen family too early, it would easily affect the finishing work.
"So there's something else that requires my help?" Nuonuo knew that he called her here in such a hurry, not just for that piece of insignificant information.
"You don't need to exert any effort, just provide the people."
"Huh?!" x2
Caesar and Nono expressed their doubts at the same time. Master Gattuso subconsciously hugged Nono tighter, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Lu Mingfei ignored their suspicious looks and turned to Caesar: "Not just her, but you as well. There's a physical examination here that requires your cooperation."
"What do you mean?" Caesar frowned. Ever since Lu Mingfei mentioned genetic technology, he realized that something was wrong. Now the feeling of unease in his heart turned into a slight uneasiness.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to capture you and slice you up for research." Lu Mingfei told him not to think too much, "I just want to confirm if anyone has tampered with you."
When Caesar heard this, for some reason he suddenly thought of the acting head of the family's idiot uncle Frost, the secretary who always covered his eyes with his side bangs, and his uneasiness became stronger.
Just as he was about to blurt out his doubts, he heard Lu Mingfei explain: "Oh, Caesar, don't be too nervous. You are just here by the way. The main purpose is to check the impact of the dragon fetus incubation area on the human body when you sneaked into Takamagahara before."
As he said that, he turned to look at Finger who was watching the show on the side: "And you, get a check-up too."
"Why do you want me too?" Finkel was watching the show, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye he would become a character in the show.
"What do you think?" Lu Mingfei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if saying, "If necessary, I can make your little secret public."
Facing his meaningful gaze, Finkel laughed heartily and stretched his stiff limbs. "I've been eating a lot lately, so it might be a good idea to check my uric acid and blood sugar."
Nuonuo was thoughtful. She had always thought that her difference from her other brothers and sisters was due to her mother's excellent bloodline. Now it seems that things may not be that simple.
She looked at the other little red-haired miko: "What about Eri? Did she also have a 'physical examination'?"
Lu Mingfei stroked Eri's soft hair and nodded slightly.
