Linghu Lan and Mo Tang went to the airport to pick up Mo Tang's parents.
They were a kind, elderly couple with white hair. Upon seeing Linghu Lan, they immediately gave her a red envelope. The envelope was very thin, and Linghu Lan accepted it without any hesitation. When she got home and opened it, she discovered that it contained a check for 100,000 yuan.
Linghu Lan felt like she had met a wealthy man. Although she already knew that Mo Tang came from a wealthy family, the fact that he gave her a gift of 100,000 yuan right away still surprised her.
When Mo's parents saw Mo Tang, tears streamed down their faces. The sight of the two elderly people trembling as they held their son and wept was deeply moving.
Mo Tang was born late in life and has an older sister. After Mo Tang became a vegetable, his parents started visiting him frequently. However, after visiting him so often, they became exhausted and their health deteriorated, so Mo Tang's sister sent him abroad to recuperate.
They rushed over only after Mo Tang called, and were overjoyed to see him.
After finally managing to calm their grief, the three of them arrived at Linghu Lan's house by car. By then, they had composed themselves and transformed back into an elegant and polite elderly couple.
After the adults met, there was nothing left for the younger generation to do. Lan's parents and Mo's parents happily finished discussing the matter.
In their parents' eyes, Mo Tang and Linghu Lan were children who caused them endless worry. Both of them were already considered unmarried young men and women of advanced age. Since they were in love with each other, the adults had no reason to stop them.
As the two families chatted, they were surprised to discover that both children had been in the same hospital and had been in a vegetative state. Both sets of parents had experienced the same heartbreak, which made them feel that they had a deep connection and they had a very pleasant conversation.
The wedding arrangements were settled happily, although Lan's parents originally planned to choose a suitable date a few months later.
But after seeing Mo Tang emerge alone from Linghu Lan's room one day, Lan's parents immediately changed their minds and decided to get things done as soon as possible, letting the two of them do whatever they wanted, after all, they were both at the age where they were like wolves and tigers...
After staying at Linghu Lan's house for a few days, Mo's parents planned to go to Mo Tang's sister's house.
Mo Tang felt a little heavy-hearted as he sent his parents over. Although he had been in a coma all these years, Nano had taken care of all the properties under his name. It was easy for Nano to discover that his brother-in-law, Fang Mei's father, was tampering with things, and it seemed that his sister had tacitly approved of it.
Mo Tang touched the ring on his finger. It was the engagement ring he and Linghu Lan had bought while shopping. They each had one, and they would have an engagement ring when they got engaged and a wedding ring when they got married.
Linghu Lan asked him then, "Why did you buy so many rings?"
He didn't answer, but actually wanted to bind Linghu Lan to him for all eternity, a three-life vow, because one lifetime wouldn't be enough.
After Mo Tang left.
Linghu Lan began her tense days as a bride-to-be. She had been married many times and was not nervous at all, but it was the first time her mother was marrying off her daughter, especially into a wealthy family like the Mo family. She was extremely nervous and wanted to do everything herself, making it feel like the whole family was mobilized.
A few days later, Mo Tang returned. Although he appeared calm on the surface, Linghu Lan could still sense the turbulent emotions swirling in his eyes.
When they went for a walk together, Linghu Lan thought for a moment and then asked what was going on.
Mo Tang remained silent for a long time. She didn't want these things to disturb Linghu Lan's mind, but she was afraid that if she didn't say anything, Linghu Lan would worry even more.
"My sister said that our parents were biased and provided me with a lot of financial support, which is why I have the wealth I have today."
"It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality; this has always been the case." Linghu Lan nodded.
“My parents explained a few things, but they didn’t treat the two of us any differently.” A hint of sadness flashed in Mo Tang’s eyes. “She said that since she wasn’t their biological daughter, how could we be the same?”
Linghu Lan was slightly surprised. "Your sister is an adopted daughter?"
“Hmm, adopted daughter!” Mo Tang’s eyes darkened slightly. “She’s always known, but she just didn’t say anything. This time she’s brought it up, so she’s probably determined to keep what she’s got.”
"You don't even care about the kindness of raising you? Your parents must be heartbroken." Linghu Lan had a good impression of Mo Tang's parents; they were a polite, kind, and amiable elderly couple, making it hard for anyone to harbor ill will towards them.
Wealth is a powerful motivator, and countless people throughout history have fallen victim to it, especially large families.
"How much money do you have that makes your sister do this?"
"Back then, we could buy two buildings, but now it's hard to say."
Linghu Lan imagined for a moment and felt that if she hadn't had those experiences, she and Mo Tang might really be in two different worlds.
After that incident, Linghu Lan stopped worrying about it and happily went to take wedding photos with Mo Tang.
The couple's wedding photos turned out like something out of a movie, because they've done this so many times that posing for photos is a piece of cake for them.
After the photoshoot, the boss excitedly asked the couple if they could use their photos for promotional purposes. He said they wouldn't have to pay for the marriage certificate, and he might even have to pay them a little something.
Mo Tang promptly refused after hearing this. "Money's no object!"
After saying that, he pulled Linghu Lan away. Linghu Lan looked at the boss's bewildered expression and couldn't help but laugh.
Mo Tang's face is incredibly valuable; who can persuade him to shoot a poster?
Time passed day by day, and the wedding preparations were almost complete. Lan's mother was busy with her work. When she saw the generous dowry list from the Mo family, she suddenly felt that her family might not have prepared enough dowry.
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "Our family's resources are not abundant to begin with, so there's no need to compete for this. The Mo family knows our situation. If we insist on being competitive, we'll only fall behind. We should do what we are capable of."
Lan's mother reached out and tapped Linghu Lan's head, saying, "It's all for you. We hope you'll have a better life over there. If your father and I were heartless and only took the bride price without giving you a dowry, what would you do? I've always wanted you to have a good life. It wouldn't be good if you were laughed at by others."
That's what they said, but the family really did their best. Lan's mother was a very understanding person and didn't press the matter further. They just waited patiently for the wedding day to arrive.
That day, Linghu Lan received a call from an unknown number. The caller immediately introduced himself, saying, "I'm Fang Mei."
Linghu Lan smiled and calmly asked, "Is there something you need from me?"
Fang Mei said, "Did you instigate my uncle to take all the money he's made over the years back?"
Linghu Lan was somewhat speechless. "You called me just for this? Is there anything else?"
"You think this is a small matter? Linghu Lan, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
"There are many things you haven't thought of yet. Take your time to get to know them. As for Mo Tang's matter, I won't interfere. That's your family affair. I just want to say that you've been greedy for so many years, it's time to let go."
"Linghu Lan, do you know..."
Before Fang Mei could finish speaking, Linghu Lan hung up the phone. Their differing perspectives and interests naturally led to different viewpoints.
If Fang Mei had been more polite and humble on the phone today, you might have felt some pity for him when you returned. But now it seems he's completely unaware of his mistakes. Not only that, he subconsciously blames others for his current behavior. Such a self-centered person. Linghu Lan can't afford to offend him and doesn't want to, so she can only take the initiative to sever ties with them.
However, Linghu Lan completely underestimated Fang Mei. In the following days, Linghu Lan's phone kept ringing with all sorts of strange calls. Linghu Lan decisively called the police.
After Mo Tang learned about this, a murderous look appeared in his eyes. A few days later, Linghu Lan received an apology message from Fang Mei on her phone, along with a short video of her crying and apologizing.
Linghu deleted it after looking at it, not taking it to heart at all. After all, he had encountered many strange and unsavory characters, and this little bit of trouble was nothing to him.
Instead, Mo Tang was very apologetic, "I didn't handle this matter well. This will not happen again in the future."
Mo Tang was also helpless about this. It is said that wealth does not last three generations. His family has always been clean and honest, but he did not expect that the next generation would rot from the root.
In his view, only a scumbag would do what Fang Mei did.
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "It's nothing. Every family has its own problems. We'll wait for you to finish dealing with things over there."
Mo Tang nodded and said nothing more, but Linghu Lan learned about the major reshuffle at the Mo Group from the local newspaper. It seemed that Mo Tang had indeed taken action.
After that, the world became quiet, and no one bothered Linghu anymore. She was now focused on marrying Mo Tang.
The wedding caused a sensation throughout the city. Someone had spread the couple's story, which was unique in itself and immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Another reason was Mo Tang's identity. On the day the two got married, the guests were all rich and noble, as well as many nano people. The wedding was lively and extravagant, and it was almost the dream wedding of every girl in the city.
At the wedding, Lan's father silently placed Linghu Lan's hand into Mo Tang's, and the reluctance in his gesture broke Linghu Lan's heart.
Her relationship with her parents was characterized by frequent separations. This time, she only stayed for about two months after returning home before marrying Mo Tang. She spent very little time with her parents and felt somewhat guilty, but she kept quiet about it.
After the wedding, Mo Tang took Linghu Lan on their honeymoon. The two went to various beautiful places, including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, beaches, polar regions, and waterfalls, and took a lot of photos at each place.
Mo Tang's photography skills are honed through countless trials, and every photo is full of charm. Under his lens, Linghu Lan's temperament becomes even clearer and more unique. When those photos were posted online, they actually attracted the attention of some people. Some people specifically wanted the two of them to go to a place they specified to take photos for a column.
Mo Tang refused, his heart filled with gloom. There were always people trying to get him, the dignified big boss of Nano, to do odd jobs. He had no idea what they were thinking.
The couple enjoyed their honeymoon to the fullest, but the only downside was that they received a call from Nano as soon as they returned from abroad, telling them they needed to go back to work.
Only then did the two of them remember that they still had jobs.
"How about we stop going to work?"
"Sure!" Mo Tang said with a doting expression.
Linghu Lan laughed heartily. Of course, she knew that she and Mo Tang could not leave Nano. She was just joking when she said she was leaving. In fact, she had already adapted to life there. The ordinary job had no appeal to her at all.
What was just a joke between two people was taken seriously by some people, such as the system.
A sharp alarm quickly rang in Linghu Lan's mind.
#System: Alert, alert, the host is attempting to defect.#
Linghu Lan: ...
She then remembered that she still had one system that she hadn't uninstalled.
She thought for a moment and asked Mo Tang, "Can the system be uninstalled?"
"Of course, I'll get rid of it for you when I get back."
You are so amazing!
Linghu Lan sincerely gave Mo Tang a big thumbs up.
#System: I feel a chill down my spine for no reason.#
In any case, nano is their final destination.
Upon returning to the nano, Mo Tang and the other researchers immediately threw themselves into their research. During his time travel, Mo Tang discovered many useful things that could be added to the system, including a feature he had set up to select a good body for the traveler. This was tantamount to unlocking another cheat code for the traveler, and it was extremely helpful.
The second thing he did was to enhance the system's capabilities to find as many people as possible who had "lost" in the universe. This was a very meaningful thing, after all, finding someone with current superpowers was not easy, and finding one more person meant they would have more reserves of power. This was a long-term project.
Linghu Lan's work is divided into two parts. One is to cooperate with the research department to convert her superpowers into a "medicine" that can actually work for everyone. In this way, in the event of a superpowered person riot in the future, these "medicines" can be used to temporarily disable their superpowers, or even strip some people of their superpowers.
Another job of hers is to hunt down criminals with superpowers. After all, there are some favored by fate in this world who don't need a system to activate their superpowers; they already possess incredibly strong abilities. If these people are good, that's fine, but if they are bad, then they are a disaster for people.
Linghu Lan's first task was to eliminate a fire-type superpowered individual. In public, this superpowered individual suddenly used his ability to burn a car and its occupants to ashes. This incident was filmed by people around and posted online, causing a very negative impact.
Linghu Lan's mission is to capture him. If he can be captured alive, that would be best; if not, he must be killed without mercy.
