B City, Liao Family.

In the study, Mr. Liao looked unhappy, "Is there no other way?" "

It's not easy. It's useless to spend money and use connections. The upper level is very strict about this matter. Someone told me that those who got the first batch of mutant seafood sales licenses are not ordinary people. I was told to think of a way to cooperate with special personnel to ensure that they are capable of obtaining mutant seafood, otherwise the license may not be issued."

Liao Tingyue is the eldest son of the Liao family. Now most of the Liao family's industries are in the hands of Liao Tingyue's family.

Liao Tingyue said: "Who are the special personnel? That person didn't say clearly."

Mr. Liao pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Liao family has a chain of star-rated hotels. If they can provide exotic seafood services in the hotels, both the Liao family's reputation and the Liao family's hotels will be taken to a higher level.

Times have changed, and these big families must keep up with the times, so as not to be left behind by the times.

They all know that the biggest business opportunities are now at sea, but it is difficult to obtain both the license for the sale of exotic seafood and the warrant. So many big companies in the country have not been able to obtain licenses and warrants, but those inconspicuous small seafood stores have stood out. This makes it difficult for these big families with deep roots to sit still. They must find a way to get a piece of the pie.

They had not imagined that this matter would be handled so strictly and without leaving any loopholes. If they wanted a license and an arrest warrant, they had to meet the conditions. Otherwise, no matter how much money they had, how big their company was, or how famous their family was, it would be useless.

Liao Tingyue: "I plan to go to City A in person tomorrow. There are two seafood stores in City A that have obtained sales licenses, and the Magic Fish Store, which ranks first, is one of them. I will contact the store owner to see if I can find out who the 'special personnel' are. Since they can get sales licenses, they should have cooperated with special personnel. If these two can serve as bridges and cooperate with special personnel, our Liao family may be the first family in City B to obtain a license."

Old Master Liao narrowed his eyes. "This Magic Fish Store does have something. I wonder who is behind it. When you go there, you can find out. If you can make friends with the person behind the Magic Fish Store, it will naturally be more beneficial than making friends with the owner of a small seafood store."

Liao Tingyue: "I know."

There was a knock on the study door.

"Come in."

Lao Zhong opened the door of the study but did not go in. "The third young master's wife is here and said she has something to see you about."

Old Master Liao has three sons in total. Now only the eldest son Liao Tingyue can accompany Old Master Liao.

Old Master Liao asked Lao Zhong to call up the third young master's wife.

The third young master's wife Zhou Chanying walked into the study, saw Liao Tingyue on the sofa, and called out "Big Brother".

Liao Tingyue responded but did not get up.

Old Master Liao looked at his little daughter-in-law and sighed in his heart, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Chanying was dressed in plain colors and well-maintained. She was not like other wives who were idle at home. She was either drinking tea or having beauty treatments or shopping. She was usually busy. A small part of the Liao family's industry was managed by her.

Zhou Chanying was silent, as if she was embarrassed and sad, "Dad, do you still remember that child?"

Old Master Liao's face suddenly turned ugly, "Why do you think of this? It's been many years since the incident, you don't have to worry about it."

Zhou Chanying seemed to have finally made up her mind, "Dad, the child may not be dead. The traffickers who were arrested only said that they threw the child into the river, and the police never found the child's body, so..."

Old Master Liao's voice turned cold, "He shouldn't have appeared in our Liao family. Whether he is dead or not has nothing to do with the Liao family. I said it before, no one should mention this matter again, especially you... Did you come here just to tell me this?"

Zhou Chanying's eyes were slightly red. "For so many years, I have been looking for that child. I was thinking, if the child is found, will Tingwang wake up too? I know he blames me. It was me who didn't take good care of the child, so the black-hearted nanny took advantage of the opportunity... Dad, I feel very guilty all these years. If I hadn't failed to take good care of the child, Tingwang wouldn't have been in such a hurry to come back, and he wouldn't have had a car accident, and he wouldn't have been lying there for nearly twenty years. It's all my fault. I want to find the child back..."

Old Master Liao was so angry that his face turned blue. Liao Tingyue spoke at the right time, "Sister-in-law, , do you know the whereabouts of that child?"

Zhou Chanying nodded. "There is a suspect. I sent someone to check his background. There is an old chef in Huaifeng County, D City. He once picked up a child by the river. Many people in Huaifeng County know about this. The human traffickers fled to D City and were arrested. The child was not found when they were caught. Their confessions also said that they threw the child into the river... I was thinking about this child, is he the same child as that year?"

Liao Tingyue frowned. "It's indeed too coincidental. But sister-in-law, how did you suddenly find him after so many years?"

Zhou Chanying said, "It was also an accident. There was a rumor on the Internet some time ago. A young artist looks like... that woman. After I got the news, I went online to check it out. The comparison picture shows that they are indeed a bit similar, so I wanted to find out about the identity of this young artist. The more I searched and listened, the more they matched..."

Old Master Liao looked unhappy, "Since it happened some time ago, why do you think of it today?"

Zhou Chanying: "I know Dad doesn't like this child, and I have been considering whether to say it. I heard that my eldest brother is working on the permit issue, so I thought of that child again. Maybe he can do something."

Liao Tingyue was stunned and looked at Old Master Liao. The old man frowned and didn't speak.

Liao Tingyue asked, "Who is he? What's his name?"

Zhou Chanying said, "His name is Lu Jiu, and he's the owner of the Magic Fish Shop."

Liao Tingyue was surprised. He was just talking about this person, but he didn't expect that he had such a relationship with the Liao family.

Old Master Liao was also surprised, and he obviously didn't expect it either.

Zhou Chanying saw the reactions of the two people, "Dad, brother, whether he is Tingwang's child or not, we just need to do a paternity test to know. If he is really that child, it may not be a bad thing for our Liao family."

Liao Tingyue frowned, and he had already heard what Zhou Chanying meant.

Old Master Liao was silent. He had just sworn that his life or death had nothing to do with the Liao family. Now he was asked to admit that the child was a descendant of the Liao family. Didn't he want to lose his face?

Zhou Chanying said, "Dad, no matter how wrong it is, it's the adults' fault. The child is innocent. He couldn't decide to be born, and he can't bear the adults' mistakes. Ting Wang must also want to see the child. If he can come back, maybe Ting Wang can wake up."

Silence was immediately replaced by hatred. Every time Mr. Liao thought of his most outstanding, intelligent, and beloved youngest son, because of a woman who made the family restless, the woman finally disappeared,

but the woman's child made him lie in ignorance and unconsciousness for nearly twenty years! Although Liao Tingwang's accident was not directly caused by the child, it was also because of his disappearance that Liao Tingwang lost his sense of proportion and had a car accident. Mr. Liao blamed all the misfortunes on the mother and son.

Every time he thought of all this, Mr. Liao was extremely heartbroken and hated the mother and son.

"His existence is wrong! They have hurt Ting Wang so badly, and they still want to live well? Don't dream! Tingyue, you go to City A tomorrow to confirm whether this person named Lu Jiu is that child. If so, bring him back. I want to settle accounts with him for the harm that he and his son have caused to Ting Wang!"

Zhou Chanying immediately said, "Dad, he is Ting Wang's child after all. Ting Wang definitely doesn't want you to touch him..."

"No need to say more! They owe it to the Liao family!" Old Master Liao interrupted Zhou Chanying and had already made a decision.

Liao Tingyue looked at his third sister-in-law deeply, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."

The two left the study together and left the Liao family's old house in silence. It was not until they were about to get in their own cars that Liao Tingyue spoke, "Sister-in-law, you brought the matter directly to the old man, and things may not develop as you think."

Zhou Chanying said lightly, "Whether it will be as I think or not, it will not harm me." After Zhou Chanying

finished speaking, she got in the car and drove away from the Liao family's old house.

Liao Yuan was waiting anxiously at home, and when he saw Zhou Chanying's car coming back, he immediately went out to greet her.

Zhou Chanying looked at him expressionlessly, "Why aren't you at work? What are you doing at home?"

"Mom, did you really tell grandpa about that bastard? What if grandpa has a soft heart and takes him back to the Liao family? He's now the popular owner of the Magic Fish Shop!" Liao Yuan almost yelled, he felt that his mother's move was very risky.

Compared with Liao Yuan, Zhou Chanying was obviously very calm. "Your grandpa has never been a soft-hearted person. He only has the interests of the Liao family in his eyes and he will not care about anyone. I personally made this matter clear just to tell your grandpa that he has a younger son named Liao Tingwang, and the owner of the Magic Fish Shop is very likely the illegitimate son of his younger son."

"Then what? Did grandpa send someone to pick him up back to the Liao family?" Liao Yuan said.

Zhou Chanying glanced at him, "What are you afraid of? You are the eldest son of the third branch of the Liao family. The Liao family and the Zhou family are standing behind you. Are you still afraid that he will take your position? Your grandfather sent your uncle to City A tomorrow to confirm the identity of Jiu Jiu. You will also go there tomorrow. There is no need to confirm. It doesn't matter whether it is him or not. What I want is his current identity. Try to make friends with him and take him back to the Liao family. Only when he comes back, your grandfather can hand over the Liao family's catering industry to us in order to obtain the sales license for mutant seafood."

Only if she gets the sales license can she drive the Zhou family's hotel business and get involved in the mutant seafood.

This cake is too big and too tempting. No one doesn't want to take a bite.

The world has changed. If she doesn't take the initiative, she may get nothing in the end, and the huge benefits will be taken away by others.

Zhou Chanying said: "Show your grace and magnanimity, do this well, and then you can gain a better foothold in the new world in the future."

Liao Yuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "I know, I will go to City A tomorrow."

Zhou Chanying patted him, "This is my good son."

Rujiu had no idea that he had been targeted. Rujiu

didn't know that Si Xu had already received the news.

Si Xu asked the "Special Security Department" to help investigate the relationship between Rujiu and the Liao family. If you don't check, you won't know. Once you check, you really find out a lot of old things. The Liao family and the Zhou family joined forces to suppress it. This matter has not been exposed, and not many people know about it.

Nowadays, all the big families, enterprises, and forces want to intervene in the mutant seafood market. Their ultimate goal is to make profits. The higher-ups are also on guard against this kind of profit domination. Capital wants to monopolize, but that is impossible. All matters involving unknown energy radiation are strictly controlled. Those who do not meet the conditions will be cut off, and no one is an exception.

The outside world has no idea who is qualified to obtain the mutant seafood sales license. They do not have a strong background. Among the 17 seafood stores, some are even newly opened stores. Their names have never been heard before, but they can get sales licenses. Who makes them special? Only they have the highest chance of survival when going out to sea?

Of course the Liao family also wanted to get involved, but they didn't know how to do it. They didn't expect that they would set their sights on Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu's Magic Fish Shop seemed to be alone, but it had the most complicated background. If someone wanted to take over the Magic Fish Shop, Lu Jiu and Si Xu didn't need to ask. The "Special Security Department" was the first to disagree.

Si Xu decided to talk to Lu Jiu and let him be on guard against the Liao family.

Lu Jiu was too busy, and the dinner was full, with no empty seat. Lu Jiu prepared a magic meal for Si Xu.

The magic meal was simple, just a bowl of silver fish rice.

The silver fish meat was marinated in advance. When it was marinated and seasoned in the super smart kitchen, Lu Jiu sang a song very seriously. Later, when it was fried in the kitchen, he was also humming a song. A simple silver fish rice is very energy-rich.

Lu Jiu brought the silver fish rice to the second floor and put it in front of Si Xu, "Try it."

Si Xu thought Lu Jiu would prepare a set meal for him on the second floor, but he didn't expect that there was only one silver fish rice.

Si Xu picked up the wooden spoon and took a bite. The fried silver fish meat melted on the tip of his tongue. The rich burnt aroma was soaked with the unique salty taste of soy sauce. The silver fish meat was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It melted in the mouth with just a sip of the lips. It was extremely delicious.

After eating so many delicacies made by Lu Jiu, Si Xu was still amazed by this silver fish rice.

Lu Jiu would bring him surprises every day.

Lu Jiu: "How is the energy?"

Si Xu: "The best I've ever eaten."

After Si Xu finished speaking, he felt puzzled again. They were both made by Lu Jiu, with the same ingredients, but the energy was so different. What went wrong?

Rujiu saw through his thoughts, "This is called a magic meal, ordinary people can't eat it, the energy is too strong, it's more suitable for enhanced people to eat, just one bowl can raise their RT value to a higher level."

Rujiu deliberately said the word "magic meal" to test the bottom line of the system. Fortunately, the system did not warn. Does this mean that as long as the existence of the system and the magic sea plane is not revealed, it is not considered a violation?

Si Xu saw through Rujiu's little thoughts and smiled, "I will definitely convey the message."

Rujiu: "..."

No, there's no need to say it so bluntly, right?

Si Xu wondered if he should be the captain. Lu Xiaojiu seemed to have a sense of urgency to boost sales.

Si Xu said, "Do you think I should be the captain?"

Lu Jiu: "Are they willing to form a seventh team for you?"

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu: "What if the higher-ups agree?"

"Sure, contribute to the new world and new order. It would be best if there were 10 team members. I'll help you feed them very well." Lu Jiu secretly calculated that if ten people each ate ten magic meals, he would be able to complete his mission this month.

Si Xu looked at his calculating expression and almost laughed at him, "Okay, I'll ask when I get back."

Getting back to the point, Si Xu came here to talk about the Liao family.

He chose his words carefully, "Xiao Jiu, have you ever thought about your biological parents?"

Jiu was stunned, "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"

Si Xu said, "Your life experience may be related to the Liao family in City B. They have noticed you and may come to contact you in the near future. If they persuade you to go back to the Liao family, will you go back?"

Jiu was silent.

When he was young, he envied others for having parents, but he only had Grandpa Jiu. He asked Grandpa Jiu where his parents were. Grandpa Jiu did not hide it from him and told Xiao Jiu Jiu about picking him up and adopting him.

Because of this, Lu Jiu has been taciturn since childhood. When encountering problems, he always looks for the reasons in himself. He is not confident and a little inferior. He often doubts himself, wondering if there is something wrong with him, so he was abandoned by his parents and not liked by his uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters.

As he grew up, he missed his parents less and less, until he gave up completely. His only relative was Grandpa Lu. He had no parents and no need for relatives. After Grandpa Lu passed away, Lu Jiu was the only one left.

The world is so big, but no one has anything to do with him.

At that time, the only thing Lu Jiu insisted on was to survive. Grandpa Lu always said that as long as he was alive, there was hope, and he had been trying to live.

Si Xu walked around to the opposite side, sat next to Lu Jiu, held him in his arms, and coaxed him softly, "It's okay, I'll be with you no matter what you want to do."

Lu Jiu looked up at him, "I'm not that fragile, I've let it go over the years, no matter who my parents are, they can't affect me."

Si Xu saw that he was pretending to be relaxed, and didn't think that this was letting go.

Lu Jiu said, "I'm actually very curious, are my parents both from the Liao family?"

If so, they gave birth to him and then threw him away, what kind of mentality is this? If they didn't want him, why not just not give birth to him?

Si Xu was silent. He didn't know how much Lu Jiu knew about his life experience. He only knew that the more Lu Jiu knew, the greater the damage.

This is a very simple question. After waiting for Si Xu's answer for a long time, what else did Lu Jiu not understand?

Lu Jiu patted Si Xu and said, "I'm fine. The pan-fried silver fish will not taste good if it gets cold. Eat it quickly."

Si Xu looked at him with a worried look on his face.

Lu Jiu sat up and said seriously, "Do you think I'm a fool? The Liao family came to me at this time, it must not be as simple as looking for relatives. Look at the kingdom I have built, will I let others enjoy it? Don't dream, it's impossible!"

Si Xu grabbed him and kissed him, "You can tell me anything, you are not alone now."

Lu Jiu's nose was sour, but he laughed, "Okay."

He was alone without any worries, and he was no longer a person now, he had Si Xu.

After sending Si Xu away, Lu Jiu stood in the kitchen alone in a daze.

It's better to say that it's avoiding than letting go, but avoiding is useless. In life, we must always trace back to the source.

In this case, if you don't want to be controlled by others, you must seize the initiative.

Jiujiu summoned the system: I want to know what the relationship between me and the Liao family is.

[Excuse me, is the host real? Isn't the number of magic points more important than the host's background? There are times when you can be generous?]

Jiujiu: ...

Jiujiu: Shut up, this is the only time in my life that your host will be generous.

[Asking if 5 magic points are required, do you want to continue?]

Jiujiu: ...

Jiujiu hesitated: Isn't this my background? Why is it so expensive?

[There is no way, involving more people means more energy consumption, so it can't be cheap.]

Jiujiu gritted his teeth: Continue.

He wanted to see how the involvement was so expensive!

The system paused for a few seconds and gave the answer.

[The host's biological mother is the Chinese pop singer Vera, and the host's biological father is Liao Tingwang, the third son of the Liao family.]

Rujiu: ...

Rujiu: No, no?

His 5 points of magic points were exchanged for just one sentence?!

Soon, a long paragraph of text appeared in front of Rujiu's eyes, which was the truth of the whole incident.
