Thus, Sze Lingyun remained nestled in Wu Jingzhong’s arms as she answered, “I don’t know. I have no memories of my mother. I only heard someone mention once that my grandmother gave birth to three daughters. Her youngest daughter was my aunt, who had always been weak and sickly—later dying from an illness when she was only in her 20s. She was an ‘aunt’ whom I had never met before, and my ‘mother’, Zhou Menglu, didn’t want to talk about her, so I never asked further.”
“Then… All these years, they’ve never burnt paper at your mother’s grave? You’ve never seen your mother’s face?”
Sze Lingyun shook her head. “The first time I saw my mother’s photo was earlier today. I had quarreled with Zhou Menglu. Big Brother Chi had the police arrest that man in his forties my ‘mom’ brought back and the Zhou family for murder and attempting to break up a military marriage. That was when Nuannuan showed me a photo of my mother.”
Wu Jingzhong looked at Nangong Nuannuan, who was sitting opposite them in the car, and asked, “Nuannuan, where did you get that photo?”
“It’s very grainy.”
Nangong Nuannuan’s answer was rather domineering, but Wu Jingzhong could not understand it.
“Grainy? What do you mean? Where did it come from?”
“I hacked a satellite and got an image from 22 years ago.”
Wu Jingzhong, “…!!!”
Sze Lingyun, “…!!!”
Wu Pingting interjected. “Nuannuan, you’re incredible!!!”
“22 years ago… Our country’s satellites weren’t very sophisticated then, were they? How did you manage to get a satellite image from 22 years ago?” Wu Jingzhong knew a little about these things, and he could not understand how Nangong Nuannuan had done it.
“I hacked Sab,” Nangong Nuannuan replied.
Dan Qi had previously asked her to do the same. How else would he have been able to figure out what happened in the past?
Seeing Nangong Nuannuan so casually say that she hacked Sab’s satellites, Wu Jingzhong’s jaw dropped. After a few moments, he collected himself, coughed, and responded, “Thank you.”
..
Nangong Nuannuan smiled and replied, “You’re welcome, uncle. Senior is Li Jingyan’s fiance, and Li Jingyan is my fiance’s brother. It’s my duty to help my brother and sister-in-law.”
Initially, Wu Jingzhong was sad when he heard that the girl he liked had died and that he would never see her again. He was extremely angry with the Zhou family. When he heard that his sweet daughter had been kept away from him for a long time, a fire ignited lit in his heart. Hearing Nuannuan’s words now, that instantly burned brighter.
“Li Jingyan? You’re not referring to Li Heyi’s son, Li Jingyan, right? After all, Chi Yang was the commander-in-chief of the Eagle Special Forces, and Li Heyi had a son named Li Jingyan who was also an Eagle soldier.”
“That’s the one.” This time, it was not Nangong Nuannuan who answered Wu Jingzhong, but Chi Yang.
Chi Yang had always given off a serious aura. Even as the governor of Sea District, Wu Jingzhong could sense Chi Yang’s formidable aura when faced with him.
He was sure that if he said anything bad about that Li Jingyan, given his connections, Jingzhong would immediately have a falling out with Chi Yang.
Li Jingyan was a high-ranking military officer. In the future, Wu Jingzhong’s daughter would be a military wife. The relationship between a father-in-law and a son-in-law was quite a delicate one.
“Is he good to you?” Wu Jingzhong asked gently, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Sze Lingyun nodded vigorously in Wu Jingzhong’s arms. “Jingyan is very, very, very good to me!”
Thus, Sze Lingyun remained nestled in Wu Jingzhong’s arms as she answered, “I don’t know. I have no memories of my mother.
