Dong Bing and others came out and saw Zhou Xiang's appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
When Zhou Xiang returned to the living room, they said goodbye, and A Lian and her son followed Dong Bing back to school.
Luo Shaoqiang estimated the time and came back just in time to pick someone up.
Zhou wanted to keep the guest but failed. Everyone knew that she had just returned and had a lot of things to do, so she just said that she would treat her to dinner next time if she had the chance.
Dong Bing even pulled Zhou Xiang aside and took out two thousand yuan to return to her, "Zhou Xiang, I have always intended to return this money to you in person. After so many years, the value of money is no longer equal.
It would be wrong not to pay it back. If I pay more, I can't even calculate the interest and friendship I've accumulated. I'll still pay this amount. Once I pay it back, I'll have put my mind at ease."
Having said that, Zhou Xiang accepted it. "Okay, I'll take it."
After seeing off a few people, Zhou's house finally became completely quiet. Because it was lunchtime and Ling Ran had not returned yet, Zhou didn't want to wait for him any longer and started eating directly. The children were all hungry!
After lunch, Zhou Hua planned to go back to the Zhou family's house, at least to say hello. Xiao Chunmei arranged for her daughter to play with Haohao and the others, and also accompanied her husband back home.
Zhou Xiang thought that someone else would come in the afternoon, so he waited in the living room, and waited for the father and son of the Kong family to arrive.
Patriarch Kong was concerned about Miss Zhou's situation, and Zhou wanted to say everything she could.
Patriarch Kong was a little puzzled. "Miss Zhou, how did the director replicate the memory?"
Zhou wanted to tell what he saw.
Patriarch Kong didn't understand this. "Miss Zhou, we use internal force to coordinate mental force when we erase and modify memories. The modified memories can only be simple ones. Long stories can't be squeezed in.
Can those machines really replicate memories of years, decades, or even decades into another body?"
"I don't know either," Zhou Xiang shook his head. "The director was planning to replicate my memories in my brain, but I attacked him. He has many identical clones, and the clones have very few memories in their minds.
Furthermore, he did replicate memories in real people's brains, repeatedly, allowing others to live as him. There was a person I knew, and I stimulated their memory. When the memory awakened, the poison in their body was activated."
Patriarch Kong was also confused. The father and son said goodbye and left the Zhou residence. Patriarch Kong still asked his son to stay on guard in the town. They were already tied to Miss Zhou, and they didn't know whether other cultivation families would target Miss Zhou, so they could only defend themselves.
Kong Qianchen naturally agreed, "Don't worry, father! I will take good care of this place. You have to be careful in the family too. If there are any treacherous people, just give them some money and drive them away. There's no need to be their nanny."
He also felt that the head of the family was just an old maid. Times had changed, and he didn't want to worry about someone who was a troublesome person.
Patriarch Kong had already given up on his clansmen, so he naturally agreed with his youngest son's words. "I plan to send Jing Ran to Africa to expand the business."
"Yeah, it's good."
Kong Qianchen also doesn't like this nephew. It's okay for him to be arrogant when he has power, but now that he has no power, he still has an arrogant attitude. Who spoiled him?
Ling Ran didn't come back until evening, and Zhou wanted to ask him who was in the detention center.
"We bailed out two clones. I took them into custody to avoid Lawyer Fang. Lu Zhaochong was shocked. I explained the principles of cloning to him, and he realized they weren't real people."
Zhou Xiang stroked his chin. "Most of what the director has learned should have been seen through the eyes of these two clones, but it seems there's still something missing from your last mission."
"I haven't forgotten about this, but there's no trace of it. I can't do anything about it. They're so good at hiding it. How's business at the food station today?"
"I didn't go to see it," Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I was at home all day receiving guests. They came in waves, and I drank tea with them. I almost burst my stomach. No matter whether business is good or not, it will only be this winter. I will be able to raise piglets tomorrow when spring comes."
Ling Ran smiled, "Aren't you tired?"
"But when I got back to the town and saw so many people braving the snow to greet me, my heart warmed up again."
Ling Ran put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "I was planning on actually traveling around the world with you! Looks like there's no hope now."
"You can borrow Jiankangkang's globe to look at and spin."
Zhou Hua and Mei Zi came back before dinner. He sat down next to his sister and said, "Sister, I don't like this uncle at all. He's not as friendly as Senior Jiang."
Zhou Xiang spoke frankly, "At first, we didn't want to get close to Senior Jiang! He was the one who shamelessly approached us."
"That's different," Zhou Hua shook his head. "Even if I were given ten more years, I wouldn't necessarily be willing to get close to him. He makes me angry just by looking at me."
"Think about his experience. Don't expect too much. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
"Sister?" Zhou Hua was surprised. "Don't you dislike him too? Why are you speaking up for him?"
"I'm telling you the objective truth. Just don't get your hopes up. I'm far away, aren't I?"
"Okay! I'll just pretend he doesn't exist." Zhou Hua agreed reluctantly. It was not worth it for his sister to spend more than three years to get a man like this back.
On Sunday, a couple who wanted to go to the food station to check the situation were stopped at the elevator entrance.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhou Xiang was hugged by someone, "Cousin, I'm back."
Zhou Xiang wanted to push away the embrace, but couldn't. "Hey! Zhou Kai, have you become more capable?"
Looking at his cousin who was very petite compared to him, Zhou Kai raised his chin proudly.
"That's right. I've been trained by the captain for six years. He said I'm almost catching up with Lü Jing and Lü Ying."
"Oh," Zhou Xiang replied calmly, "Lv Jing, someone is here to challenge you."
If she hadn't seen who it was, Lu Jing would have swung her fist out long ago. Now that her sister-in-law had given the order, she had to obey.
Zhou Kai felt a flash before his eyes, and his cousin was taken away from his arms. Then, he fell to the ground with a fat foot stepping on him.
"Who are you catching up with?" Lu Jing said in a flat tone.
Zhou Kai slapped the floor in disbelief, "Lv Jing, why are you so powerful again?"
"Haha, because in the past few years, I have become your god."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Kai didn't understand.
"I won't tell you. Feel it for yourself." Lu Jing raised his foot and asked the person to stand up.
Zhou Kai jumped up and pounced on Lu Jing again. He still didn't believe it. He had practiced diligently for six years. Could it be that he couldn't even take one move?
With a "bang", he fell flat on his face. If he hadn't protected himself, his mouth would have been swollen.
Zhou Xiang, who was being held in her lover's arms, felt very painful when she heard this sound. She looked at the captain at the elevator and asked, "Why did you come so soon?"
"I brought the researchers back with me. The rest of the people will be sent back to China gradually by Ge Xin, Li Han and the others."
Tang Ganwen followed the couple into the living room. "After I get a dozen people back at once, the others will have to wait for a while. It's better for them to come back in groups of two or three. We still need to spread some fake information back home, so we can't rush things."
