Meanwhile, on the other side, Fu Huoqing and the others arrived at their lodgings. The slightly older middle-aged man called Fu Huoqing back to her room.
"Xiao Qing, wait a moment."
"Uncle Ji."
"I'd like to discuss the results with you again."
Ji You's expression turned somewhat somber.
Fu Huoqing seemed to know what he wanted to say, "Uncle Ji, are you still wary of the people over there?"
“The people in Sector S are all crazy. The things they study inside are very mysterious. Getting involved with Sector S will not do us any good. Xu Guangqian has been there for so long, he should know something about what’s going on inside. Just because Sector S doesn’t care about him now doesn’t mean they won’t remember him in the future.”
Ji You expressed her concerns to Fu Huoqing.
"My father has already instructed that we must invite Old Master Xu back. Why didn't Uncle Ji contradict my father's wishes to his face at the time?" Fu Huoqing asked, puzzled.
Ji You said, "Once your father makes a decision, he won't easily change it. Only by searching without success can we dispel his ideas."
Fu Huoqing nodded and said, "Uncle Ji, I understand your concerns, but we are working for the higher-ups now. S District won't come to our area to cause trouble for no reason. Even if they do, it depends on whether the higher-ups give them the opportunity."
Fu Huoqing was quite confident about the protection provided.
Ji You, however, was not so optimistic.
If District S turns black into white, no matter how capable the Fu family's research team is, they will be trampled underfoot.
Ji You did not say these words in front of Fu Huoqing.
Although Fu Huoqing is young, she knows a lot.
They also have their own thoughts.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved such success at such a young age.
“I find Sheng Qian very strange, Uncle Ji. I want to stay for a couple more days,” Fu Huoqing suddenly said.
Ji You paused for a moment, then said, "This Sheng Qian is indeed a bit strange, especially the way she looks at you, it's very different. And..." As she spoke, Ji You looked Fu Huoqing up and down, "Her appearance is four or five points similar to yours."
Fu Huoqing was stunned upon hearing this. Suddenly, she leaned closer mysteriously. Ji You was puzzled when Fu Huoqing said, "Uncle Ji, do you think it could be the child my dad had conceived outside back then?"
Ji You: "..."
As far as he knew, Fu Jinheng was a very loving and upright man who doted on his wife and children.
It's impossible for him to do anything reckless outside.
In those days, people took marriage very seriously and would never flirt casually.
so.
Fu Huoqing's suspicions are completely unfounded.
“My dad shouldn’t be that kind of person. When I get back, I’ll ask my mom if she gave birth to twins and forgot one of them outside. Or maybe one of our uncles or aunts lost a child outside. Uncle Ji, I’ll try to get some hair from this Sheng Qian. Could you go and get my dad’s hair for me and have it tested?”
Ji You: "..."
Didn't you say you trust your dad? Why do you want to get tested again?
Seemingly noticing Ji You's doubts, Fu Huoqing said, "Belief is one thing, but once the seed of doubt has sprouted, I have to pull it out."
"If your dad finds out, he'll definitely lock you in a dark room, and your mom will misunderstand, and your family will be in for a lot of trouble. People do look alike, and with so many people in the world, there will always be one or two who look exactly alike. You'd better not do anything like this. Are you just bored because your family is too harmonious?" Ji You didn't know why Fu Huoqing suddenly had this kind of interest.
Fu Huoqing gave an awkward smile, "I'm just curious."
"Curiosity has its limits. Alright, we still have to see Old Xu tomorrow, so let's get some rest first," Ji You quickly ended the conversation, not knowing what other shocking things might come out if they continued.
He has a heart condition and can't handle it.

After having breakfast, Sheng Qian and the others went to the Xu family immediately.
Fu Huoqing and the others arrived shortly after.
The two greeted each other when they met outside the door, and then went into the Xu family's house together.
The Xu family already knew about their visit yesterday and had already discussed it. Now it was up to Xu Guangqian to make his own decision.
Xu Guangqian saw the two groups of people and pointed to the living room inside: "Let's go in and talk."
Everyone followed them inside.
Sheng Qian was prepared to withdraw, so no matter what decision Xu Guangqian made, she would not feel regret.
If Xu Guangqian joins the Fu family's research team, it would actually be a good thing.
This way, we can help the Fu family team.
“I have made my decision,” Xu Guangqian said, looking at the two groups of people sitting in front of him.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Xu Guangqian.
Xu Guangqian first looked at Fu Huoqing: "Comrade Fu Huoqing, I know that your Fu family has the ability to protect me and make better arrangements for the family, but I need absolute freedom here. You know that we researchers hope to have more freedom to develop our ideas."
There is a big difference between doing research independently and joining a team.
He certainly believed that the Fu family's research team could also provide him with these things, but compared to Sheng Qian's team, it was still a bit more managerial.
Strictly speaking, it feels more restrictive.
When Xu Guangqian said this, Fu Huoqing understood perfectly.
She gave a wry smile: "When we talked yesterday, we already anticipated your choice. Our Fu family is still honored to have met you. If you need anything in the future, you can contact us at any time. Even if you just have some questions, our team will answer them for you."
Fu Huoqing stood up and gave Sheng Qian a deep look.
She took out a piece of paper with a phone number already written on it from her pocket and placed it on the table: "This is the phone number for our team's core area. As long as you give us your name, our team will help you unconditionally."
