Even if Mo Xuanji chooses to continue as the head of the family, their cooperation will not be as superficially harmonious as before.
After quickly analyzing the current situation, the inspector's thoughts had subtly changed deep down.
He cannot allow Mo Xuanji to become the head of the family again, otherwise he will not be able to control the Mo family's every move through Mo Xuanji.
The inspector glanced at the crowd, lost in thought.
Amidst the excitement of the main family after Mo Jiuzhen's death, Mo Xuanji did not show particular joy, but instead slowly walked towards Li Yu's group.
He showed no particular emotion regarding regaining control of the Mo family patriarch.
At this moment, what he wants to do more is to reunite with his long-lost granddaughter.
He strode towards the petite figure in Li Yu's group, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke:
"Child, come here."
Li Linglong was taken aback, then turned to look at Li Yu with a puzzled expression.
The old man who suddenly appeared in front of her left her somewhat at a loss.
She even hid behind Li Yu, somewhat frightened, and whispered with a bewildered expression:
"Brother Li Yu..."
Upon seeing this, Mo Xuanji felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He took two more steps forward, getting closer to Li Linglong, his voice trembling even more, and continued with some hesitation:
"Child, I am your maternal grandfather."
Upon hearing this, all the Mo family members who were speaking nearby fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Linglong in shock.
They all knew that when the Mo family suffered a calamity, the entire family of the patriarch Mo Xuanji's daughter disappeared.
Over the years, although Mo Xuanji appeared calm on the surface, a trace of unconcealed grief would always flash in her eyes whenever this matter was mentioned.
Therefore, in their daily conversations with the patriarch, members of the Mo family intentionally avoid words related to him, for fear of touching upon the patriarch's painful memories.
Unexpectedly, the petite little girl in front of me was actually the long-lost granddaughter of the family head.
"Grandpa?" Upon hearing this, Li Linglong's eyes widened, filled with confusion.
Since she could remember, all she knew was that her brother raised her.
Later, her brother was hit by a cannonball during the migration, and she went on her journey to seek revenge, never having heard of any maternal grandfather.
However, as Mo Xuanji got closer, both of them could feel the inexplicable connection between their supernatural bloodlines.
This connection was like an invisible bond, and the inexplicable sense of intimacy it created made Li Linglong somewhat flustered.
Sensing the supernatural energy fluctuations within his bloodline, Mo Xuanji became even more certain of Li Linglong's identity.
His eyes were filled with sorrow and self-reproach as he slowly spoke:
"Child, the Mo family suffered a great loss back then, and you have suffered for so many years."
"But you are truly of the bloodline of my Mo family."
Mo Xuanji's voice was filled with deep remorse.
Upon hearing this, Li Linglong's lips trembled slightly.
She had always believed herself to be an unwanted orphan, struggling to survive alone in this cruel world.
After her brother's death, she endured a long period of loneliness.
She eventually caught up with Li Yu and was taken in by him.
She still found it difficult to accept her grandfather's sudden appearance and this new identity.
Mo Xuanji also knew that this child had lived a difficult life as a refugee for so long, and it was normal for her to be unable to accept the sudden appearance of a maternal grandfather.
He took a deep breath and continued, filled with remorse:
"Your mother's name was Mo Yunshang. Years ago, her family disappeared while fleeing along another route with you in their arms."
“Child, I know this is sudden for you, but I really am your grandfather.”
Li Linglong carefully examined the old man who claimed to be her maternal grandfather; his eyes were full of love and expectation.
That gaze seemed to penetrate her heart, giving her warmth.
Mo Xuanji seemed to remember something, and spoke in a trembling voice:
"Child, do you have a mole below your collarbone?"
Li Linglong's eyes widened in surprise, and she subconsciously pressed her collar.
This action caused a glint of light to flash in Mo Xuanji's cloudy eyes.
There's no mistake, this is his missing granddaughter!
At this moment, Li Yu dismounted, stepped forward, and gently patted Li Linglong's shoulder, saying:
“Linglong, what he said is true. I had suspected it before, and now it seems that you are indeed related by blood.”
Li Yu didn't even know that Li Linglong had a mole on her collarbone, but Mo Xuanji, who had always been the head of the family on the mountain, knew it so clearly, which was enough to prove that it wasn't fake.
With Li Yu's approval, Mo Xuanji looked at Li Linglong with anticipation:
“Child, the past cannot be changed, but from now on, Grandpa will definitely make it up to you and give you a home.”
"Child, can you...can you call me Grandpa?" Mo Xuanji's aged voice carried a hint of caution, as if he was afraid of frightening the fragile child in front of him.
Mo Xuanji had no idea that this seemingly fragile child had once controlled a group of mutated corpses comparable to Li Yu's team to block a breach in the Great Wall.
Li Linglong's current reaction is simply that she is somewhat afraid of the upcoming family reunion.
She was afraid that it was all fake, afraid that someone was lying to her.
Li Linglong bit her lip and looked at Li Yu. Encouraged by Li Yu's gaze, she stepped forward and timidly called out in a low voice:
"Grandpa..."
Although the word "Grandpa" was not loud, it caused Mo Xuanji's long-suppressed emotions to burst forth instantly.
He stepped forward and embraced Li Linglong tightly, tears streaming down his weathered face.
