Many people came to the Lin family's house, all dressed in dark blue military uniforms that were similar to but different from those worn by the military, with gold and white trim that perfectly exposed their figures.
The two men leading the way, one of whom was still handsome despite being middle-aged, had a serious and unsmiling lip line that suggested he was probably not someone to mess with.
The other one was much younger, and didn't look much older than Kongsang. He resembled a handsome middle-aged man, and it wasn't hard to tell that they were related.
Wearing a simple, dark blue military uniform, he looked like a nobleman who had walked out of ancient Europe. His sculpted face had a lazy yet somewhat ascetic expression, and his upturned phoenix eyes gave him an air of nobility.
"What wind blew General Lan Li and Major General Lan Ye to the Lin family together? Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were planning to join forces and wipe out the Lin family." Lin Changli held Kong Sang in his arms, showing no intention of getting up.
The two Lan brothers forced their way into the Lin family home, and he was already being lenient by not immediately taking action; he was not going to show them any mercy.
Lan Li said with a straight face, "You've all seen the news. The special department suspects that the Nie family rewrote human genes to cultivate terrorists to wreak havoc on the world. We are doing this for President Lin's personal safety."
"If this offends you, please bear with it. Nie Yan's blood has been found to be abnormal and highly aggressive. We suspect that Nie Kongsang has also been modified and we need to test his blood."
Kongsang is neither smiling nor laughing. If you offend me, please bear with it... My uncle's words are really interesting.
"Blood test? Let alone Kong Sang's identity, even ordinary people have the right to refuse. Can special departments disregard human rights? I think your Lan family is trying to establish hegemony?" Si Yu questioned.
"Tch, the Si family is too busy to take care of themselves, and you still have a mission to die for, yet you have the leisure to meddle in the Lan family's affairs. You've got quite the nerve!" Lan Yefeng raised his phoenix eyes, giving him a look of utter contempt...
Si Yu's face immediately darkened: "Lan Ye, look how arrogant you are. The Si family has fallen, but your Lan family hasn't risen either. Instead, the silent Shen family has benefited."
"The military region is balanced among the three of us. At least my Si family was number one once. What makes your family, which has been number two for a long time, so arrogant?"
"I am a major general, and you are a 'prospective' major. What do you think I have to be arrogant about?"
Damn it, Si Yu was furious. The reason he was still a major was because he left the elite unit midway. How could they compare him like that?
Lin Changli had no interest in listening to their sarcastic remarks and said coldly, "A blood test is impossible. I'm not sending it."
Lan Li narrowed his eyes and glanced at Kong Sang, who was being held in Lin Changli's arms, and said, "The Lin family's development is based on business. Is this an open act of defiance against the authorities? Does President Lin not care about the damage to the company?"
Lin Changli raised an eyebrow: "If you can't even protect your own women, is there any point in the Lin family existing?"
The atmosphere became awkward. The Lan family had come with great force, but Lin Changli showed no respect, leaving both sides with no way to back down.
Kong Sang found Lin Changli's words quite agreeable, but... there was no need for such a confrontation today.
"It's so touching that my uncles came to visit my sister and me. Let's put business aside and chat, shall we? My sister, you should be closer to the Lan family than to me, shouldn't you?"
Yu Wei sat down next to Qi Yunshen. Upon hearing this, her starry eyes flickered slightly, and she politely greeted, "Hello, Uncle and Uncle."
With her aloof appearance and clear almond-shaped eyes, Yu Wei was very different from the Nie family...
This was the first time the Lan family had faced Yu Wei directly. Because of their relationship with Lan Yun and their dissatisfaction with the Nie family, the Lan family never attended any banquets related to the Nie family.
I've seen Yu Wei on TV and in media reports, but that's nothing compared to seeing her in person.
Lan Li sized up Yu Wei for a while, then responded, and the atmosphere eased. Lin Changli didn't lose his composure and chased them out. The group sat down together and drank a cup of hot tea.
Kong Sang smiled and said, "My sister didn't grow up in the Nie family. She has suffered a lot outside over the years. It makes me, who has taken over her identity, feel really guilty that such a good young lady has been left to wander outside."
"But I think the Lan family will like my sister. After all, she has Lan family blood and is different from the Nie family. It's pitiful that she was pushed downstairs by Ayan without her mother even glancing at her. Fortunately, her fiancé protected her and took good care of her."
The meaning behind those words was all too obvious; it was a blatant attempt to win her over, while also highlighting the fact that the president's eldest son favored Yu Wei...
The military and the government are inseparable. Qi Yunshen is very outstanding, but he also faces great resistance in his rise to power. The Shen family, who have now risen to power in the military, are Qi Yunshen's opponents.
If the Lan family and Yu Wei resume their relationship, it's tantamount to indirectly siding with Qi Yun Shen. That short, casual remark contains so much...
However, the girl in her early twenties, under the influence of the Nie family, was as complex as a magnificent ink painting.
Renly remained silent, clearly indicating that he couldn't simply respond to those words.
Lan Ye asked bluntly, "Nie Kongsang, if you want to win people over, you need to be clear about your stance to be convincing. Are you on Minister Qi's side?"
Kong Sang asked in surprise, "What are you saying, Uncle? Why would I side with Minister Qi? What's the point of me, a girl, playing the political game? It'll only cause me to lose my hair!"
"I'm just giving both sides a reasonable reason to be friendly. Using knives and guns is so barbaric. As for me... of course I'll fight for my own territory."
"I'm currently starting a business. The first company should be co-founded with Jinghe William. I'm just an ordinary citizen, and special departments don't need to pay any attention to a nobody like me."
Lan Li stared at Kong Sang and said, "If you can truly prove that you are an ordinary 'citizen,' the Lan family will welcome you and Yu Wei at any time."
Kong Sang sighed helplessly, "In the end, my eldest uncle still wants to test my blood. Well... there's nothing wrong with that. Then let my youngest uncle accompany me on a long trip later."
“My mom has been emotionally unstable lately, which has scared me so much that I don’t dare to leave the Lin family home. But I happen to have something to take care of. My uncle, since I donated blood, could you come with me?”
Lan Ye's brow twitched slightly: "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous place. It's just a place to relax and go for a walk in a quiet and secluded spot. It won't interfere with your uncle's work too much."
Si Yu and the others subtly twitched their lips. What a cunning Nie Kongsang! This so-called quiet, remote place is probably not Tianhuang Village; he's deliberately trying to drag the Lan family into this mess…
Lan Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, bring me your arm, I'll draw blood."
Kong Sang smiled and obediently offered her arm: "Uncle, you must keep your word. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, don't move." Holding down the slender arm to disinfect it, Lan Ye inserted a needle into the vein, and bright red blood entered the test tube.
If Nie Kongsang dared to give blood, then there was probably no problem. Lan Li was not discouraged; on the contrary, he thought it was a good thing.
“My targeting of the Nie family is not simply because of gene drugs. I knew your father before he started researching gene drugs. Nie Qu... is fearless.”
"A person who is obsessed with studying celestial bodies, who is not afraid of nature or life, may be of immeasurable value to his research, but in my opinion, he lacks self-control as a human being."
