Qin Zheng drove the car himself.
The car traveled along the wide road, then turned onto a narrow town road, continued forward, and finally entered a side street.
It's a really narrow alley, only wide enough for one car to pass at a time. If you accidentally encounter an oncoming car, you have to drive into the narrow alley between the houses on both sides of the road to barely make room.
Qin Sheng had already clenched her fingers, and her body was slightly tense.
She recognized this place.
—Zhangxi Village, the ancestral home of the Pei family, is also the place where she lived the longest during her childhood.
Qin Zheng parked the car in an open space at the end of Zhangxi Village and led Qin Sheng forward. Ahead was a small reservoir, and further up was a mountain road that seemed to stretch into the distance.
That was a place Qin Sheng had wanted to go into but had never been to.
When she was little, she would sit by this reservoir and daydream when she had nothing to do. Several times, she suddenly had the idea of going into the mountains to take a look, but each time she was dragged back by Lu Yanqing before she could do anything.
Lu Yanqing never explained why, but Qin Sheng could sense that he harbored a deep-seated fear and awe towards the other side of the mountain.
Qin Sheng wasn't a very curious person, so after being stopped three times, she gave up. In addition, she was busy with other things afterward and gradually forgot about this area.
I never expected to return here in this way today.
At this point, she roughly guessed why Lu Yanqing had prevented her from going in.
*
After receiving Qin Zheng's message, Lu Yanqing waited for him at a fork in the mountain road. Seeing the man's tall figure in the distance, he quickly walked over and frowned, saying, "Mu Yuan's condition seems particularly serious this time. It's been almost two hours, and the bleeding hasn't stopped. I'm worried about him if this continues..."
He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
Because he saw the girl walking out from behind Qin Zheng.
Lu Yanqing's pupils dilated, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels: "Sheng Sheng?! What are you doing here?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and immediately turned to look at Qin Zheng. Her fierce gaze made Qin Zheng involuntarily take a step back and instinctively protect Qin Sheng behind him.
Seeing his actions, Lu Yanqing became even angrier: "What did you promise me last time? Huh? It hasn't been that long, and you've already forgotten everything?!"
As he reached out to pull Qin Sheng, he kicked her hard, yelling, "I've already told you she's my own daughter, your long-lost sister! You still won't give up and dare to make a move on her. I think you really don't want to be human anymore!"
Qin Zheng: "..."
Qin Sheng: "..."
Qin Sheng avoided Lu Yanqing's hand, her face expressionless: "I don't have a father like you."
She glanced at him: "Too old."
Then she looked at Qin Zheng: "He's not as handsome as him."
Lu Yanqing: "!"
Who was he doing all this for? And she's still complaining about him?!
So what if I'm handsome? Can I eat my fill?
Who wasn't handsome when they were young?
Lu Yanqing was heartbroken.
Although being praised for his good looks by his own daughter made Qin Zheng feel quite flattered, he was also genuinely afraid of upsetting Lu Yanqing, so he quickly explained, "Third Uncle, you've really misunderstood, Sheng Sheng, she..."
"Don't explain, I don't want to hear it! I'll just say one thing: you two break up completely, I don't agree!"
Qin Zheng: "..."
Qin Sheng: "..."
After a long pause, Qin Sheng said in a cold voice, "Tell me, how do you sever the blood relationship? Are you going to change my genes or my father's? Can you do that?"
What?
Blood ties?
Gene?
dad?
Lu Yanqing was completely dumbfounded.
Although he was getting on in years, Lu Yanqing was still a powerful figure who had once dominated the region. He wasn't so old that his mind was failing him. After a moment, he regained his senses.
Yet I still couldn't believe it.
"What kind of relationship do you mean?"
Qin Zheng silently rolled his eyes.
“Me,” he pointed to himself, “her dad.”
She then pointed to Qin Sheng, "My daughter."
She paused, then pointed at Lu Yanqing, "You, her grandfather."
Turning to Qin Sheng, her expression softened: "Sheng Sheng, this is your third grandfather. Call him grandfather."
Qin Sheng glanced at Lu Yanqing, paused for a moment, and called out, "Third Grandfather."
Her voice was clear and soft, and she was incredibly well-behaved.
Lu Yanqing's face was filled with an indescribable expression.
Although Qin Sheng used to call him Grandpa Lu, Lu Yanqing considered it just a title based on age.
In fact, after Qin Sheng broke through the firewall he had built and silently hacked into his computer when she was seven years old, he had already regarded her as an equal.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was both a teacher and a friend.
He was Qin Sheng's teacher, but Qin Sheng was also his teacher.
But now, when he was suddenly told that this disciple he was so proud of was actually his own granddaughter, Lu Yanqing's feelings were beyond complicated to describe.
The crucial point is that he misunderstood the relationship between Qin Zheng and Qin Sheng; this misunderstanding has caused quite a stir...
Lu Yanqing couldn't help but embarrass himself, his face falling flat: "Sheng Sheng, you..."
But I didn't know what to say.
Qin Sheng's eyes, which she had raised, had returned to calm. She cracked her knuckles and said, "Let's go see my older brother first."
Lu Yanqing immediately thought of Qin Muyuan's situation and, disregarding everything else, hurriedly said, "Come with me."
As he spoke, he led the two of them inside.
This mountain path appears peaceful, but in reality, there are sentries every five steps and guards every ten steps. The sentries keep their breathing extremely low and, with various costumes and props, they almost blend into the forest, making them very difficult to spot.
Qin Sheng was only able to easily detect their presence because of his strong mental power. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to detect them even if they got close.
A pair of sharp eyes swept over her, but Qin Sheng pretended not to notice. She was protected by Lu Yanqing and Qin Zheng as they walked deeper into the mountain path.
After walking for more than half an hour, the view in front of us gradually opened up, and at the same time, those scrutinizing gazes finally disappeared.
Lu Yanqing's tense body relaxed, and he then remembered the question from the very beginning.
He immediately looked at Qin Zheng, his brow furrowed: "Why did you bring Sheng Sheng here?"
Qin Zheng squeezed the pill in his hand, about to speak, when Qin Sheng spoke first: "If you can come, why can't I?"
Lu Yanqing thought about it and realized that it did seem to be true.
He stopped pursuing the matter and continued walking forward.
Qin Zheng found it extremely strange.
In his impression, Lu Yanqing was stubborn and inflexible. Once he made up his mind about something, few people could change his mind. But now he didn't seem to care about it at all. Why was that?
Qin Zheng could only think of one possibility—Lu Yanqing knew something about Sheng Sheng that he didn't know.
His expression became complicated.
It seems he still has a lot to do as a father.
