Han Fei and Xiao Qi arrived at the construction site, where the demolished houses had already been razed to the ground, which was quite fast.
Looking at the flat land, Xiao Qi opened her big, round eyes and said, "Grandpa, this place is so big!"
"Yes, we can't let them crowd together."
"Grandpa, I also want to settle down here."
Han Fei's lips twitched: "Let tourists admire you?"
Xiaoqi huffed, "I'm not a little animal, why would I want people to admire me!"
"Grandpa, if you promise me you'll build a wildlife park, I won't be kept in a cage. I'll run freely, while the tourists will be the ones locked in cars and just to be observed by me."
Han Fei's lips twitched: "You'll be very famous then."
How could you not become famous! Everyone else is in their cars, while you, a tiny speck of cloth, are enjoying the shade next to a powerful figure?
Little Qi giggled, "Grandpa, this way a lot of people will come to our zoo! We'll be a popular zoo, and we can earn lots and lots of money to feed all the big cats and little cats the best food, and give them all extra meals!"
"You'll become famous, and then you'll be just like your fifth brother, having to wear sunglasses and a mask when you go out."
"Actually, I think it's not bad at all. Anyway, I see that Fifth Brother is quite happy. I don't think being famous is a bad thing. Many people like me and my pets!"
In the past, if he didn't know who his opponent was, Han Fei would definitely have refused outright.
Actually, the reason he didn't want Xiaoqi to become famous at first was because he didn't know who killed Xiaoqi, which is why he was so cautious.
But things are different now. Kelly has surfaced, and there's a high probability that Seven is still alive. So whether she becomes famous or not, she's no longer in danger, and I can protect her.
"Do as you please."
"Grandpa, it's a promise, don't build cages for them, we're a wildlife park."
"knew."
"Pinky promise, I'm afraid you're lying to me!"
"Little girl, when has Grandpa ever lied to you?"
"Hehe, it seems not!"
...
The conjoined twins have come out of the operating room; their surgery was a success.
Because the doctors here are very experienced, and the surgery on these conjoined twins was not difficult (they did not have any organs connected), the surgery was completed quickly.
The mute man waiting outside now had a completely different expression.
The shocking, horrific burns on his face have now been replaced by intact skin.
He transplanted skin from his thigh to his face, and the surgery was quite successful.
Chen Meilan never expected that the mute man would turn into such a handsome guy. If he could speak, she could recommend him to some of the top agents at Han's Entertainment Company and work his magic. Who knows, he might become a big star.
The mute man nervously stepped forward and used sign language to ask the doctor's assistant, who was the missing son of the Wang family.
Sign language: How are they? Was the surgery successful?
Wang's son smiled and said, "Don't worry, the surgery was a success."
Sign language: Thank you, Xiao Wang.
"You know me?"
Chen Meilan stepped forward and handed the other person a photo.
Although there are significant differences in body shape and his face has matured, it is not difficult to recognize from this photo that the boy in the picture is him.
Xiao Wang seemed to remember something, pressing hard on his temples: "Let me catch my breath, I... I think I have some recollection..."
He remembered that the photo was a family portrait.
It was taken at a photo studio.
At that time, he was admitted to his desired high school after junior high school. To celebrate, his family went out for a meal and passed by a photo studio. It was the first time the whole family had ever been to a photo studio.
Actually, it's very easy to take a family photo nowadays. You can take photos with a camera or a mobile phone. Very few people go to photo studios anymore, because photo studios seem too formal.
That was the first time he went to a photo studio to take pictures, and he had a deep impression of it. So when he saw the photos, he was stimulated and some of his memories returned.
He could recognize who the people in the photos were and recall what happened when the photos were taken, but only some fragmented memories. He couldn't remember much else, such as how he fell into the sea or how he got injured. These were difficult to recall, and when he tried to think about them, his temples would throb and ache.
"I want to go home, I want to go back to the Dragon Kingdom, I want to find my mom and dad!"
"I...I've been gone for so long, my parents must be so worried!"
"How many years...how many years have I been missing?"
“I fell into the sea and lost my memory for five years, but I don’t remember what exactly happened before that…” He gripped the mute man’s shoulders tightly and spoke anxiously, as if only by muttering these anxious words could he relieve his agitated emotions.
"Ah-ba! Ah-ba!" The mute man was also anxious. The other person kept babbling on and on, and he couldn't utter a single word. In his anxiety, he didn't even have time to use sign language. In the end, he managed to blurt out a single word: "Here!"
Xiao Wang, who was chattering incessantly, was stunned.
Chen Meilan stepped forward excitedly and said, "You can speak now! You've overcome your psychological barrier and can finally speak! Try saying a few more words, give it a try!"
The mute man moved his mouth, but this time he could hardly make a sound.
"Don't be nervous. Find the feeling. Think about how you made the sound just now. Try to recall it and imitate that feeling."
"Ah...ah...in...outside!"
Chen Meilan clapped her hands and said, "Yes! That's it, try it again!"
"Xiao...Xiao Wang, your dad...mom...is...outside!"
"What did you say! Are you serious? Brother Niu, are you serious?"
"Really...really!"
"I'm going to find them, I'm going right now—" Xiao Wang rushed out of the hospital and saw a couple standing outside when he arrived at the hospital entrance.
The couple, dressed in simple Chinese clothing, looked out of place among the locals.
"Dad! Mom!"
Hearing two calls, the two turned around abruptly.
Looking at each other from afar, the couple were overcome with tears.
Xiao Wang had rushed over, but as he got closer, he hesitated and dared not go forward.
He felt he was being incredibly unfilial.
How could they have been missing for so long?
He dared not imagine how worried his parents must have been after he went missing.
Looking at his parents, who looked so different from their photos, he almost didn't recognize them.
Five years seems so different from what I remember...
Their hair was very white, unlike what one would expect from someone their age.
They didn't look like his parents; they looked more like his grandparents.
His nose tingled with emotion, and he could roughly guess how much suffering his parents had endured over the years in their search for him.
His steps quickened again as he rushed over and hugged his parents tightly: "Mom and Dad, I'm so unfilial, it's all my fault!"
The couple cried loudly, "Child, it's all your fault. We shouldn't have let you be an exchange student, we shouldn't have..."
Xiao Wang learned from his parents that the school had been sealed off.
The students who were exchange students back then were interviewed one by one, and they talked about how they stayed in a hotel at the time and were unaware of what was happening for a short period of time.
When they returned to China, they discovered they had something in common: surgical scars on their bodies.
Later, when they went to the hospital for a checkup, they found that parts were missing.
They went to the school, but the school completely denied everything, and some even threatened them behind their backs, so they didn't dare to pursue the matter any further.
Now that the matter has been exposed, they have all come forward.
Hearing his parents' words, Xiao Wang felt a sharp pain in his head and finally remembered those things.
Their water was drugged, but he didn't drink it. He discovered the school's conspiracy and was injured and fell into the sea while trying to escape.
“Child, it’s quite a coincidence. Our area is going to be demolished, and we’re afraid you won’t be able to find us after the demolition, so we don’t want to move…”
The couple talked about various things related to the demolition and relocation, including the mute calf and the conjoined twins being sent abroad for surgery.
Xiao Wang is a smart man. Connecting the dots, he roughly guessed who was behind the whole thing.
The conjoined twins, their older brother, and their parents are all holdouts.
Now that conjoined twins can separate and become free individuals, the younger brother can regain his appearance, and the parents can find themselves, all with the goal of getting the holdout residents to agree to move out.
And the driving force behind this was the big boss who acquired that piece of land.
Regardless of the other party's motives, he genuinely helped him and reunited with his parents. He will remember this kindness and repay it in the future if given the opportunity.
