Those people are so ruthless that even without directly causing an accident, they can drive people to their doom in this way.
She then asked, "Does Uncle Huo still not know that his mother is dead?"
If he had known, he probably wouldn't have stayed at the research base to do research.
Grandma Yang once said that his mother fell ill because she was worried about him, and later, because Huo Yunqi reported him, she was so anxious that her health completely collapsed.
The mere fact that his mother fell ill from worry because she was concerned about him, her son who had studied abroad, was enough to make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Su Yue finally understood why Huo Xueshen jumped into the river in his previous life—he blamed himself for all the mistakes that led to his mother's death.
This heavy sense of self-blame ultimately crushed him completely.
Fu Shen's voice was low and hoarse: "They're still keeping it from him, saying they'll tell him after he finishes some projects."
Although I feel sorry for Huo Xueshen, Lu Yunting is right. For people like them who shoulder special missions, sacrificing their families seems to be a matter of course when the organization needs them.
Su Yue looked up at Fu Shen standing in front of her. His eyes were deep, and she couldn't see the emotions churning inside.
She reached out and hugged his firm waist, gently pressing her face against his warm abdomen, and whispered, "Are you sad?"
Her own biological father, who had endured hardship to return home, was kept in the dark about her mother's fate and could not even come home to see her. He had to continue to devote himself to his work. She felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
Fu Shen looked down at Su Yue's smooth hair and sighed softly, "To be honest, a little. He's been sent down to the countryside for so many years, his living conditions must have been bad. As soon as he came back, he immediately threw himself into his work. I've heard people say that when people who do scientific research get busy, they don't even have time to eat."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue suddenly burst into laughter through her tears.
Fu Shen raised an eyebrow: "What are you laughing at?"
Su Yue let go of his hand and sat up straight. "You kept talking about that person, and I thought you weren't worried about Uncle Huo's situation at all. I didn't expect you to start worrying about him not eating on time because he's busy with work."
When Su Yue hit the nail on the head, Fu Shen didn't mince words and frankly said, "Yes, I'm worried about him. He's a scholar, he doesn't have time to exercise, so his physical condition is definitely not as good as ours who train outside every day. Besides, he's already over fifty."
Su Yue took his hand and shook it gently. "Don't worry, when Lu Yunting brings Uncle Huo over, I'll give him water from my space. I guarantee he'll look like a young man again, radiant, and all his ailments will disappear."
Fu Shen sat down beside her, his gaze gentle yet cautious: "He shouldn't have any obvious illnesses. There's no need to give him the water in the space for now."
Su Yue frowned in confusion: "Why? Don't you want Uncle Huo to be healthier?"
Fu Shen shook his head helplessly: "His every move is being closely monitored. Do you think they wouldn't notice if he drank the water in your space and his body underwent any changes?"
Su Yue: "...Then we'll give it to Uncle Huo after he retires."
I won't be working at the research base anymore, so that should be fine, right?
Fu Shen chuckled softly, a hint of bitterness in his voice: "Someone of his caliber, do you think no one will keep an eye on him after he retires? Unless..."
Su Yue: "Unless what?"
Fu Shen said seriously, "Unless he completes these projects and then completely withdraws from the research institute, becoming a leisurely person who just grows flowers and vegetables."
Su Yue sighed: "That's a bit difficult. Uncle Huo has made such great contributions to the research, how can we let him only do these things?"
