The high-quality seeds that Zheng Ya fostered have long been included in semi-classified files and protected under certain measures.
Throughout history, food and seeds have always been strategic resources for war.
It is only natural that higher-level leaders would attach importance to the high-quality seeds that Zheng Ya fostered, as these are vital to the nation's future.
As a result, Fu Qingyao established a new security department with 32 members to secretly protect the seed cultivation base that Zheng Ya was building.
During this period, Fu Qingyao ordered a thorough investigation of the residents of Tongluo Lane and found out about Widow Liang's background, which is not surprising.
Strangely, Wu Wei has been unusually well-behaved these past few days. She feels guilty and ashamed when interacting with her adoptive mother, Fu Qingyao, her direct superior. She always feels awkward and at a loss.
In particular, Lao Yuan remained hidden by her side from beginning to end, protecting and watching Wu Wei's every move, making Wu Wei feel extremely uncomfortable.
Yearning for freedom, Wu Wei was never truly free from birth.
At this moment, Wu Wei walked out of the courtyard, feeling lost and confused. What should she do?
It's no wonder she was in a depraved state of mind and her thoughts were in complete disarray.
Last night, Old Yuan approached Wu Wei and proposed that she go into seclusion to protect the Muchen Pearl, which disrupted Wu Wei's life and state of mind.
It wasn't that serious to begin with. Wu Wei could have simply refused to protect the Muchen Pearl and lived her own life.
But Old Yuan told her a terrible piece of news: the descendants of those who guarded the Muchen Pearl were affected by it and would not live past the age of thirty if they left the Muchen Pearl.
It's like the nuclear radiation that infected the Muchen Pearl, affecting its genes and causing mutations. Only by protecting the Muchen Pearl can it be alleviated and can it cultivate to become stronger.
Conversely, if they don't live past thirty, their descendants will suffer as a result.
This threw Wu Wei into a panic, and she realized that she was born smarter than others and could advance in martial arts much faster than others, all due to the influence of the Muchen Pearl.
The problem is that Wu Wei has lived in urban communities for nearly twenty years and simply cannot let go of worldly affairs to live in seclusion with Lao Yuan. That would be tantamount to slow suicide, just enduring the days.
As Wu Wei stepped out of the courtyard gate, Old Yuan appeared behind her and said, "Girl, six groups of people have come today, trying to persuade the neighbors to spy on you."
Clearly, some people are still not giving up on the Muchen Pearl.
Also, six groups of people are eyeing Zheng Ya's high-quality seeds. What do you plan to do about that?
"Why are you here again?" Wu Wei stomped her feet in anger, unable to do anything about this ghost-like father.
In an attempt to drive away this unfamiliar father, Wu Wei called the police and arranged for someone to arrest Lao Yuan five times, but all attempts failed!
The reason is that Lao Yuan comes and goes without a trace; once he notices someone paying attention, he disappears in a flash!
Besides, Lao Yuan neither stayed in hotels nor rooms; he spent the entire time quietly cultivating outside Wu Wei's room instead of sleeping, becoming Wu Wei's shadow guardian.
At this moment, when Lao Yuan came to warn her, Wu Wei immediately understood the ghost father's intention: he simply wanted to help her repay her adoptive mother Fu Qingyao's kindness, sever her worldly ties, and wholeheartedly retire into seclusion!
Old Yuan was in a hurry to work on her mindset before talking to Tian Juan. Time was tight, and he said anxiously to himself, "Girl, you don't want your adoptive mother Fu Qingyao, your birth mother Tian Juan, and your father to watch you die young, do you?"
"Don't try to fool me with this. I can choose to repay your kindness and then leave quietly. I would rather die than go into seclusion with you."
"Also, if you dare tell my adoptive mother and that heartless birth mother that I won't live past thirty, I'll make you see me commit suicide to repay your father!" After much deliberation, Wu Wei made her decision: she would rather die than go into seclusion.
Wu Wei felt she owed her adoptive mother far too much.
Besides, after nearly twenty years of hard work and study with no success, she felt useless, and her retreat into seclusion was an escape, destined to achieve nothing.
This contradicted her outstanding achievements and lofty aspirations that set her apart from her peers.
Old Yuan choked on his saliva and said with heartache, "Girl, I have no right to force you, I just hope you can live!"
"Stop talking."
Because of your fake sacrifice and departure, my birth mother and Zheng Ya's father had a daughter. What are you going to do with my birth mother Tian Juan, my half-sister, and me?
How should we deal with the Zheng family?
"Have you thought about all of this?" Wu Wei was furious, feeling like she was the murderer who had harmed the Zheng family.
Under normal circumstances, without Lao Yuan and her presence, even if Tao Shenghui interfered in Fu Qingyao and Zheng Daotong's marriage, the Zheng family would not have died, nor would they have been involved in the Muchen Pearl scandal.
The key issue is that the Muchen Pearl controversy hasn't stopped; it's still ongoing!
This is tantamount to strapping a time bomb to the Zheng family, which could explode at any moment.
Unfortunately, Wu Wei is Fu Qingyao's adopted daughter and has a younger sister who is a member of the Zheng family. How could she possibly turn a blind eye to this and abandon her, only thinking about her own survival and choosing to go into seclusion?
Wu Wei knew she couldn't do it!
Old Yuan knew her troubles and was determined to help her solve the case to repay her kindness so he could take her back to continue her cultivation: "Girl, don't worry, as long as we, father and daughter, work together to eliminate all the criminals who are after the Muchen Pearl..."
"Haha, you only have a month and a half left to return. Is that enough time?" Wu Wei also wanted to eliminate all criminals who threatened the Zheng family, so perhaps she could accept the idea of going into seclusion.
However, the enemy has influence all over the world, making it impossible to completely eliminate them.
Even the enemy hiding in the capital mobilized the military and police, but so far they have not been able to crack the case or catch the main people involved; all they have caught are peripheral personnel.
Otherwise, why would the military and police release Hu Laiwang, Jia Dongxu, and other outside agents, playing the long game to catch bigger fish?
Old Yuan said confidently, "Girl, you have to believe in the ability of us, father and daughter, working together..."
"Alright, you just want me to provide you with information about the enemy from the military and police, right? I've agreed." Wu Wei was annoyed by his nagging, so she left after saying that.
Old Yuan quietly followed them.
The father and daughter teamed up to investigate the case, and Zheng Ya was also investigating the case, while also disguising himself as an enemy to spread rumors around.
This news is quite shocking.
The victim of the Muchen Pearl is carrying three thousand-year-old ginseng roots and requests assistance!
This is equivalent to alerting the enemy by stirring up trouble.
In reality, Zheng Ya was setting a trap for Yuan Shikai. Since Yuan Shikai was unfathomable, he was made a target to attract enemy attention and expose his true nature, making it easier for Zheng Ya to seize the opportunity to capture him.
Zheng Ya had his reasons for doing this. With a perception radius of 640 meters, he had already discerned several groups of people bribing and threatening nearby neighbors to spy on Wu Wei and plot to take advantage of his high-quality seed.
Since his three incarnations, Zheng Ya has been a modern person who has embraced the concept of time travel and cultivation, immersing himself in the pursuit of power and having no intention of integrating into society or living an ordinary life.
Furthermore, Zheng Ya possesses three special abilities, which determines his cultivation method of earning virtue points and faith points. This goes against the path of passive development and development, forcing him to take the initiative!
Moreover, given the ever-changing nature of spatial spiritual arts and runes, he needed to find people to experiment with and comprehend them, so Zheng Ya used Lao Yuan as a pawn...
