Chapter 241 Left Fan's Conspiracy Theory
As the sun set, everyone enjoyed a delicious seafood barbecue prepared by Zuo Shan, and Kang Zhenghao and his team returned home laden with their last catch.
Evan had booked the most luxurious hotel in District 41 online early in the morning, but he watched helplessly as the head of the family and the young master followed Zuo Shan... carrying the little young master in his arms, all the way to the dilapidated Dolphin Hotel.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at the Dolphin Hotel, it was already fully booked. He had no choice but to pay three times the price to send away the remaining guests and book five single rooms.
Left Fan: You should have said so earlier! She would have been happy to persuade her teammates to vacate the room at double the price, after all, it doesn't matter where they stay!
After returning to her room and washing up, Pan Duole said, "Sister, Young Master Bai looks quite serious, but his grandfather is very kind. He kept smiling at Achen all day."
"Yes, Xiaobai and his family are all doing well. It's getting late, and we have to get up early to go to the beach tomorrow, so you should get some rest!" Zuo Shan said, patting the top of her head.
Pan Duole rubbed her palm. Ever since she went to work at Master Liu's workshop, her sister felt that she had grown up and hadn't patted her head in a long time.
She loved the warm touch of her sister's palm and felt her familiar scent, and soon fell asleep.
Ah Chen had been playing around all day and fell asleep on the way back to the hotel.
Looking at Achen and Lele sleeping on either side of him on the hotel bed, Zuo Shan felt a sense of unease.
Before Xiaobai's grandfather appeared, she had never associated Xiaobai with the Lan Dun family.
Modilan Shield is a ninth-level ability user. Even when he was injured and taken home by her like a fish, he always maintained the aloofness of a superior.
To put it bluntly, they were from completely different worlds. He didn't want to have any interaction with her, and she wished he would never appear in front of her again.
Xiao Bai was different. Although he was also from a prominent family and was even once regarded as a spoiled brat by her, he always took good care of her, this online friend whom she met by chance.
After meeting her, I treated her as a friend, and there was no sense of distance between us.
Xiao Bai's appearance is only above average. He is such an honest and simple boy that he is incomparable to a monster-level beauty like Modi Lan Dun. His appearance does not give people a sense of pressure and makes it easy for people to get close to him.
If we had to find a similarity between the two of them, it would be their short silver hair.
When Xiaobai's grandfather first appeared, she only felt that the old man looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. Now, lying in bed and thinking carefully, she realized that he looked very much like Morti Lan Dun.
After Achen was born, she discovered that the baby didn't look like her at all; he was almost a miniature version of his biological father, except that his lips were different.
But the baby's lips don't look like her own mother's at all; no matter how you look at her, she seems to be just a tool for bearing children.
Now, Zuo Shan has discovered that Xiao Bai's grandfather looks very much like the baby, and she doesn't think it's just a coincidence.
Thinking back to how Xiaobai had always gone to great lengths to help her, so generously gifting her wild boar, a spatial button, crocodile eggs, and reindeer...
There's also the million that mysteriously appeared in her account, which she mistook for a scam, but which is still in her account to this day.
All of this seems to have a reasonable explanation today—Xiao Bai is likely a branch of the Lan Dun family, and he knew from the beginning that A Chen was of Lan Dun blood.
He deliberately approached her posing as an online friend, giving her various warnings of danger.
On the day her baby was born, she called him for help, asking him to cover up the baby's innate special ability. Without hesitation, he traveled all the way to District 48.
All of this was done so that she could give birth to the child smoothly.
If Mortilandun and Little White are distant cousins, then his grandfather might be Mortilandun's great-uncle, so it's reasonable that Mortilandun looks like his great-uncle.
The only thing she couldn't understand was that even Mordil Landon himself hadn't discovered she was carrying Landon's child, so how did her distant cousin, Xiaobai, find out?
Unless it was Xiaobai who orchestrated Mortilan's injury, but for some reason he might not dare to kill him.
Then he secretly hid in the shadows and observed his casual affair with a scavenging woman, and may have even recorded it.
Later, she pulled the severely injured Modilan Shield from the water. It was highly likely that Xiaobai had tried to assassinate him a second time. Such things were quite normal in large families.
Who made Mortilan Dun a candidate for the next head of the family?
After Achen was born, Xiaobai discovered that Achen was exceptionally talented, so he adopted Achen as his godson and maintained a close relationship with the mother and son.
In this way, if Mortilan wins the power struggle in the future, he can use his son to blackmail him.
Even if Modilan Shield dies, he can still gain the support of some family members by relying on Achen, a fourth-generation member with excellent qualifications.
He might have originally planned to wait until Chen was older before using him, but his grandfather accidentally discovered Chen's existence and decided to come and see for himself.
As soon as the old man saw Achen, he realized that Achen looked a lot like him. So, they decided to help Achen contract with a fathead fish and sell it to her and her son.
If she guesses correctly, the next step for the grandmother and grandson will either be for the mother to leave and the son to stay, or for Xiaobai to marry her and lie that Achen is Xiaobai's biological son.
In this way, they gained an extra bargaining chip in the family's power struggle.
Zuo Shan's mind was now completely dominated by palace intrigue dramas, filled with conspiracy theories, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Running away with the baby? Absolutely impossible.
Their wristbands alone allow them to be tracked down wherever they go.
So all that's left for her is a sliver of hope, and she must seize it. She absolutely must not use this last resort to save her life unless it's absolutely necessary.
At the same time, Caesarland was staring sternly at his grandson sitting opposite him.
"You little rascal, I'll forgive you for hiding this for so long, since the baby is smart, cute, and talented."
“This is my private matter, not a family affair, and has nothing to do with you! I’m even going to hold you accountable for following me!” Mortilan retorted.
"Follow you? You have a high-speed warship; even if I wanted to, I couldn't keep up. Hmph! But even you have your moments of oversight. I saw a sign for Azure Bay in the background of the photo, and that's how I found out," Caesarland said smugly.
“Alright, you’ve already seen the person. Go back with Grandpa Evan first thing tomorrow morning.” Mortilan Shield had a look on his face that said, “Don’t stay here and get in the way.”
"You brat! You think your grandfather is in your way? Don't forget, without me there would be no father, and without your father there would be no you!"
"Now that I'm an old man, I want to see my great-grandson more, and Ah Chen's mother hasn't objected. Why can't you let me stay?" Caesar Lannister was so angry that his beard twitched.
"I just don't want Ah Chen to end up like me, getting assassinated every now and then," Morti Lan Dun said calmly.
“I’m sorry, it was my grandfather who failed to protect you and your mother back then,” Caesar Lannister said with a guilty expression.
“I have never blamed you. Being born into the Landun family and enjoying the family’s protection and glory always comes at a price,” said Mori Landun.
"You can trust your grandfather. As long as this old man lives, I will never let anyone threaten Achen's safety," Kaiser Lan Dun said excitedly.
“Grandfather, you probably don’t know this, but when my mother was pregnant with me and was assassinated for the second time, she told my father about it.”
She wanted to take me far away to a remote, safe area, to live an ordinary life under an assumed name.
However, my father strongly disagreed, believing that only the family could provide the best resources and the strongest protection.
As a result, she was assassinated again just as she was about to give birth. In order to protect me from harm, she took the heaviest blow with her back.
As a result, I went into premature labor, and her health never recovered.
When Zuo Shan gave birth to A Chen, she also experienced a difficult labor, but she was more fortunate because she happened to save Master Gu Rong before giving birth.
"Gu Rong? The one who lives in seclusion and is the most powerful healer on the entire Green Algae Star?" Kaiser Lan Shield exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right. What I'm trying to say is that she suffered a lot on her own to give birth to Achen, and no one has the right to take her child away."
"And Ah Chen lives happily and peacefully with her. Their only worry is the mutated beasts, and no one will try to assassinate Baby," said Modilan Shield.
“I understand what you mean. Even though Achen is your own son, you won’t just take him back to the family unless Miss Zuo agrees to marry you,” Caesar Lan Dun said.
“That’s right. So you’d better leave first thing tomorrow morning, lest our enemies discover any clues and reveal A-Chen’s identity,” Mortilan said.
“I can leave, but you can’t really leave the baby to Miss Zuo to raise alone, can you?” Caesar Lan Dun said.
“I have an idea…” Mortilan whispered in his ear.
"Haha! Good, good, good!" Caesar Lannister laughed loudly.
