Chapter 249 You really raise her like a daughter?
The suite was silent as Tu Chaoxi slowly approached.
His steps were slightly stiff, but his tone was unusually calm.
"...Why do you say that?"
A clear look of surprise crossed Nan Ke's eyes.
On the way here, he had rehearsed countless times how to explain to his brothers the strange tricks fate had played on their family.
Unexpectedly, both Tu Chaoxi and Lin Yue showed more sadness than shock.
"Brother, you guys too..."
Tu Chaoxi, shedding her usual impulsive and irritable demeanor, calmly interrupted him for the first time: "Tell me, what did you find out?"
He and Lin Yue had developed a bit of intuition over the past six months of spending time with Tu Yao and through the unexpected events of the past few days.
He wasn't stupid, and Lin Yue wasn't truly slow-witted either. What Nan Ke said... was exactly what they were guessing.
But he needs real and compelling evidence to visualize his intuition.
In the living room, Nan Ke opened the file bag he had been carrying all the way and began to speak in as calm a tone as possible.
In the past few days, he first sought confirmation from Jiang Peng about the shipwreck incident eighteen years ago.
Based on this, the timeline was re-examined.
"If I'm not mistaken, there were two unnatural beings who fought to the death back then. One was that black mist, and I still don't know who the other one is."
“But…” Nan Ke looked up again: “He should be on Tu Xiao Mao right now.”
Tu Chaoxi looked up instantly, her eyes red-rimmed: "What did you say?!"
Is it applied to Xiao Mao's body?
On his sister?!
What is He going to do?
Before Tu Chaoxi could go berserk, Nan Ke pressed on, saying, "He saved our family eighteen years ago, and then five years later, he sent Tu Xiaomao away."
Two years ago, Tu Xiaomao was sent back.
"But for some reason, after Tu Xiaomao left, a new her appeared."
A person whose temperament and character are completely opposite to the real Tu Yao.
This explains why Tu Yao's personality completely changed from age five to sixteen.
“I asked Chen Shu, and he said that it’s possible for a person to undergo a drastic change in temperament after losing their memory. But brother, Tu Xiaomao’s change cannot be explained by a simple case of amnesia.”
“Tu Xiaomao, it’s not like she has amnesia, it’s more like she’s come back.”
In the past six months, every interaction with Tu Yao has constantly reminded them of the first five years. Her smile and her tears are just like the beginning.
It could even completely cover the middle decade.
"...Those were just my inferences, but these are real evidence."
Nan Ke composed herself and handed over the documents in her hand.
He investigated the time when Tu Yao left the Cheng family two years ago, and the time when Tu Xiaomao appeared in Xianhe Village.
"Two years after Chu Man passed away, Tu Yao was driven away by Cheng Sangsang's father. The specific date of her disappearance was April 16th."
"On the same day, Tu Xiaomao appeared in Crane Village."
"In other words, the time when Tu Yao disappeared in Gangcheng coincided with the time when Tu Xiaomao appeared in Xianhe Village."
However, the port city and Xianhe Village are separated by a sea and thousands of miles, making it impossible for Tu Yao to appear in both places in just one day.
"besides……"
"Stop talking, I believe you."
Tu Chaoxi suddenly interrupted him: "...Let's put all that aside. I'll believe whatever you say."
Even without evidence, he would believe it.
"Right now, all I want to know is..." Tu Chaoxi raised her eyes and said calmly, "What is He doing on Tu Xiaomao? What does He want to do?"
Nothing else matters. As long as Tu Yao is in this world, there is still room for maneuver, and he can remain calm.
He can accept anything strange or unnatural.
But all of this is predicated on the fact that Tu Yao and his sister are safe.
"...That's what I want to say next."
Unlike Tu Chaoxi's composure, Nan Ke's eyes were slightly red, and his usually calm voice became hoarse.
"It seems that He is bound to Tu Xiaomao. Whether it was leaving back then or now, it's all for the sake of saving... us."
"...She was the only one who was never safe; every single day, she was in danger."
...
Outside the hotel, Tu Yao snapped out of her daze and immediately shouted:
"Sir, stop the car!"
She rushed into the hotel. The lobby was bustling with people. Her gaze swept across the room, and she caught a glimpse of a pale yellow cotton coat as a figure walked into the elevator.
Tu Yao hurriedly chased after him, asking as she did so: "Father... did you see her? Is it her?"
After the progress bar reached 110 volts, the light became slightly stagnant.
wrong……
There could never be two Tu Yaos in the same world, and besides... that "person" disappeared two years ago and will never reappear...
110: [Don't chase.]
Tu Yao stopped immediately.
Little Daddy?
110 repeated: 【Do not pursue.】
Tu Yao nodded: "...Understood."
But the next second, Tu Yao tilted her head back and her gaze froze.
In the very center of the hotel lobby is a sightseeing elevator. Along the transparent glass window, a girl in a pale yellow cotton coat stands right in the middle, still looking at her defiantly.
As she rode the sightseeing elevator, Tu Yao watched as she went up one floor after another.
Finally, it stopped on the twelfth floor.
...The twelfth floor was her brothers' room.
She was going to find her brother.
Tu Yao stood frozen in place. Reason told her that she should listen to her father and not chase or move.
Emotionally, however, she inevitably felt a little scared.
Will her brothers see her...?
110, observing Tu Yao's tense expression, suddenly spoke up: "Go to the first-floor corridor."
Tu Yao glanced in the direction and decisively ran forward!
Unbeknownst to Tu Yao, the blue light above her head was being continuously withdrawn.
Tu Yao stopped in the empty corridor, turned around, and was instantly stunned.
"Little Father, you..."
This was the first time Tu Yao had clearly seen the entire appearance of 110.
It was no longer a sparse point of light hidden in the progress bar, but a tiny body of light condensed in the sky, yet the soft blue light emanating from it seemed to illuminate the boundless expanse.
110 had no time to speculate why a "person" who had seemingly vanished would reappear.
But if Tu Yao is afraid, He can make "her" disappear again.
The next second, a certain spot of light suddenly became sharp!
Just then, a voice echoed softly in the empty corridor.
"...So you really do still exist."
Tu Yao immediately looked up and saw "Tu Yao" appear at the end of the corridor.
Before she could react, the next instant, it condensed into a faint mist!
"you……"
Tu Yao instantly realized that the "Tu Yao" was fake!
The black mist drew closer, staring at the bluish light on Tu Yao's forehead, and murmured:
"No wonder, no wonder... I always thought you were dead."
"So you tied all your luck to this family back then, making me think you were dead, didn't you!"
"No wonder I couldn't kill those children back then. I thought it was a backlash of bad luck, so I could only let the maid take them away and plan slowly."
"So in the end, it was all your doing!"
His tone grew increasingly aggressive: "I bet you've already dealt with the other Tu Yao too!"
"Just so she can come back?"
After being awakened by Bai Chumeng, he tried to find the existence of another Tu Yao, but no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any trace of this "person" in the vast world.
He had no choice but to come and test the waters himself.
Surprisingly, Bai Chumeng was right!
Tu Yao stood there, stunned.
The black mist contained a great deal of information.
Has that Tu Yao disappeared long ago and will she never come back?
Was it already dealt with by the stepfather?
...She wasn't wrong either; the progress bar not only represented their family's fortune, but in essence, it was always tied to her stepfather.
Tu Yao couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The blue light body hovered before her eyes, its gentle curves gradually diminishing until it transformed into sharp beams of light, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
Finally, the police (110) spoke up.
Defective products have no reason to exist.
Tu Yao was taken aback. Unlike her relaxed, angry, or guilty demeanor in front of her, this was the first time she had heard the most just, fair, and indifferent voice from 110.
Each character exudes a sense of unfamiliarity and an inescapable, unyielding rule.
And this sentence struck the black mist precisely.
"Defective product? Defective product!"
"Hahahaha, are you talking about that idiot, or... me?!"
He circled anxiously overhead: "You've never changed..."
"You've always treated me like a defective product! I've always been a defective product in your eyes!"
Seeing that the fog was becoming increasingly turbulent and about to erupt, Tu Yao quickly stepped in front of the police.
"Stay away from my stepfather!"
The corridor suddenly fell silent, and the mist condensed slightly.
A few seconds later, a deep voice sounded as if in confusion.
"...Little Daddy?"
"You want her to call you 'little dad'?"
The black mist laughed in disbelief.
"First, they tied all their luck to her family and secretly protected her."
"He's been hiding from me for so long, but now he's willing to expose his identity just to put her at ease!"
Black Mist's tone was clearly laced with sarcasm:
"You really treat her like a daughter."
