The next day, Chen Mo's subordinates noticed that, unlike his usual reluctance to cooperate with dical treatnts, he was exceptionally compliant today.

He even took the unprecedented initiative to ask the doctor in charge of him,

"When will I be able to use the dication next ti?"

The dication here referred to the one that allowed him to temporarily walk. Although Chen Mo's legs weren't paralyzed, due to certain reasons, they would often suddenly lose sensation.

However, as the head of the Chen Family, he couldn't let the outside world know about his physical condition. Thus, for occasions that required his presence, he would inject himself, which allowed him to walk for an extended period.

But the side effects of the injection were severe, so he only used it when absolutely necessary.

The doctor examined his legs and pondered for a mont, "It'll be a few days."

Chen Mo nodded. Although he had already predicted this, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointnt.

Although he wanted to imdiately rush to the Ji Family to take Ji Nian away, the current situation didn't allow it.

First, he lacked evidence.

Second, his physical condition was a factor.

Taking advantage of these few days, he needed to clarify his thoughts, find a way to conduct a paternity test to prove his relationship with Ji Nian, and re-investigate the past events while also focusing on recuperating his health.

Moreover, he was worried that his weakened immune system might transmit sothing to Ji Nian.

...

Ji Nian sneezed.

Startling Shen Qingtang, who imdiately turned to look at her, "Are your hands hurting?"

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

Seeing Shen Qingtang's nervous expression, Ji Nian smiled wryly, "It's nothing, just a tickle in my nose."

On the day she went missing, Shen Qingtang was scared out of her mind.

She had also heard about the mysterious drink, but at the ti, she was enjoying playing with the eye drops that changed Ji Nian's eye color and didn't bother to join in the excitent.

Gu Xiuyuan was the sa.

As a result, while they were preoccupied with their own fun, the school was suddenly surrounded by security teams, and when Shen Qingtang turned around, she realized that Ji Nian hadn't returned.

She was so scared that she cried, all the while remaining alert enough to send a ssage to Ji Tingzhou via her watch, and also to Gu Xiuyuan, asking if he knew where Ji Nian was.

Gu Xiuyuan, who was also under strict protection, saw Shen Qingtang's ssage and imdiately applied to leave school to look for Ji Nian.

However, his request was denied by the teacher.

Under such crucial circumstances, no matter the reason, they couldn't allow the children to leave under their watchful eyes.

Everything had to be left to the adults.

It wasn't until several hours later that the school finally allowed the parents to enter, verifying their identities before letting the children go.

Later, Shen Qingtang learned that all the missing children had returned, except for Ji Nian.

She was so upset that she couldn't focus on her howork. After being picked up and taken ho, she anxiously waited for news until late at night.

When Shen Qingtang, her eyes swollen like walnuts, finally saw Ji Nian return unhard, she breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her friend, crying for a long ti.

Although the news was suppressed, it still caused panic within a small circle. The school decided to take a few days off to clean up the ss and improve security asures.

With no school to attend, the two children stayed ho and played with Lego blocks.

"Are you sure you don't need to rest?"

Ji Nian nodded and placed the strawberry from her cake onto Shen Qingtang's plate, "I'm really fine."

"You like strawberries, right? Go ahead and eat it."

Seeing her friend give her the strawberry, Shen Qingtang smiled sweetly, "Okay~"

After spending so ti with Shen Qingtang, it was ti for the little girl to practice the piano.

Children should have a carefree childhood, but unfortunately, the child had a passion for developing her hobbies.

As Ji Nian recalled, according to the system, in the future, Shen Qingtang would establish her own company and beco a boss.

Indeed, successful people generally have abundant energy.

After lying around the house all day, building a bit of Lego left Ji Nian feeling exhausted. She sighed.

Ji Tingzhou, who had been dealing with the severe diplomatic issues between two countries due to Lu Jinghuai's incident, sat down beside her, exhausted.

"Why are you sighing?" he asked.

Ji Nian replied, "I'm so tired, Dad."

Ji Tingzhou glanced at her, " too."

The father and daughter exchanged a look, both seeing the fatigue in each other's eyes.

The incident involving Lu Jinghuai had infuriated Lu Zhi, the cunning old fox, and his wife as well. Seeing their child tortured to such an extent, the entire Lu family was thrown into chaos overnight.

The severity of the issue was such that several officials were summoned for questioning overnight.

The two countries' foreign ministries were also in the midst of urgent negotiations.

Among the captured individuals, so had committed suicide, while a few had confessed. Their criminal evidence pointed to a mysterious organization that had faded into the background two years ago.

Overnight, anyone who had once had connections with Vengeance, or had long-term dealings with them, were now cowering in fear, not daring to utter a single word.

When Ji Nian returned, she was imdiately taken for a comprehensive full-body check-up. Fortunately, aside from the injury on her arm, she hadn't been subjected to any other mishandling.

On the other hand, Ji Tingzhou heard that one of the captured criminals had been injected with poison in their leg.

Indeed, the birthday gift he had given Ji Nian back then had turned out to be the right choice.

"Why did you go there knowing it was a trap?"

With everything that had happened, Ji Tingzhou hadn't had the chance to ask this question until now.

He knew his daughter well—how could she not see through such a ruse with her intelligence?

And the ssage she had sent him later clearly pointed to Vengeance, which further indicated that she had known the identity of the other party.

So why did she go, especially not just for fun.

After pondering this, Ji Tingzhou's expression remained unchanged, as though he was rely asking casually.

Ji Nian's eyelashes fluttered slightly, realizing that the mont of questioning had finally arrived.

Ji Tingzhou definitely wasn't asking casually. He must have guessed what had attracted her.

She couldn't say that the toxic agents used by Vengeance were all her previous life's creations, but she also couldn't play dumb.

Ji Tingzhou did pamper her, but that didn't an he was willing to turn a blind eye to everything.

In fact, over the years, Ji Tingzhou had always been curious about the little secrets she had kept hidden.

"Because I was curious about their toxic agents, Dad," Ji Nian responded.

"I wanted to know what kind of person could create such things. That was very appealing to , Dad."

She genuinely wanted to uncover the identity of the person behind it, so she wasn't entirely lying.

Recognizing that Ji Nian wasn't telling the full truth but couldn't find any loopholes, Ji Tingzhou gazed at her with an inscrutable expression, ending with a cryptic, "Is that so?"

Ji ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍Nian nodded.

Then, with a mixture of truth and half-truths, she tugged at his sleeve, "Isn't the sound therapist coming soon? Let's go downstairs, Dad."

Ji Tingzhou stared at her for a mont before finally standing up and pulling the child up gently, "Alright, let's go."

This signified that he wouldn't pursue the matter further.

Ji Nian quietly hooked her lips, resuming her innocent and carefree expression as she looked up again.

A few days later, it was reported that Tuka, the alleged boss of Vengeance and the mastermind behind this operation, had been captured.

Many criminal suspects had identified him, but unfortunately, he had apparently undergone so ordeal, leaving him as a complete imbecile. After a check-up, it was also discovered that his insides were a rotting ss, and the fact that he was still alive was nothing short of a miracle.

When Gu Xiuyuan ca to visit Ji Nian, she was busy planting flowers with Ji Tingzhou.

Ji Tingzhou wore a khaki-colored apron that matched the color of his outfit and a sun hat.

He directed people to shovel soil, only sticking his hands in to scatter seeds, then promptly disinfecting his fingers with a wet wipe.

Next to him, also dressed in a khaki-colored apron and wearing a sun hat, Ji Nian found his behavior of rely participating without much effort quite familiar.

After all, Ji Tingzhou, who had always preferred drinking and sleeping, had been busy like a spinning top recently, so it was understandable that he would take a break when he could.

That's right, a prince should be this precious!

Bending down, Ji Nian used her small shovel to dig into the soil with her uninjured hand, accidentally getting dirt on herself. Before her dad noticed, she stealthily sared so on the hem of his pants.

Then, she turned her head nonchalantly, pretending nothing had happened.

"Is this enough?"

After planting, Ji Tingzhou turned to ask the gardener beside him, who nodded, "Yes, Sir Ji, that's all."

In fact, Ji Tingzhou had no real interest in such activities, but the parenting manual suggested that engaging in parent-child activities was beneficial for a child's growth.

Flicking a glance at the child beside him digging in the dirt with his behind sticking up, Ji Tingzhou satisfactorily withdrew his gaze.

It really is beneficial. Look, he's having such a great ti playing with the mud.

Standing up, he took the towel handed to him by the servant and glanced at the ti.

It was almost ti for the latest episode of "Hopeless Dad" to air.

As soon as he stepped inside, the servant ca to report that the Gu Family's young master had arrived.

Shen Qingtang was playing tennis with her tennis coach, so it was only Ji Nian who was free.

Seeing a girl taking the initiative to give flowers, this was sothing his grandmother had taught him.

Until the door slowly opened in front of him, Gu Xiuyuan stood even more straight.

He directly spoke: "Ji Nian, you—"

The words behind that, however, stopped abruptly when he t a pair of green eyes that were deeper and more experienced than Ji Nian's.

Even though Ji Tingzhou and Ji Nian looked very similar, he was terrifying. Although the corner of his mouth had a faint curve, for so reason, Gu Xiuyuan felt tense just seeing him.

The future young overlord spoke slowly under the gaze of the present great villain:

"Uncle Ji... hello."

"Have you eaten? I brought so broccoli."
