"Miss, Miss Yan An, your kinship is confird."
Yan An looked up from the materials, took the kinship report, and flipped directly to the last page.
After confirming, she quickly picked up a pen and wrote, "Where is my little aunt? Take to see her quickly!"
An Yan fell silent for a few seconds before replying, "My mother passed away eighteen years ago. Poisoned! And the person who poisoned her was nad Gu Shifang; he was the one who taught Li Yanluo how to invade other people’s minds with mories.
That Golden Crow you saw is the carrier for Gu Shifang’s mory invasion!
Now, we can only track their whereabouts through Gu Xiu, hoping to catch them all in one go. The only issue is, while I’ve calculated Gu Xiu fled southeast, the area is vast, and our people haven’t found him yet."
Yan An wrote quickly, "Understood, I will do my utmost to track him down."
As she spoke, Yan An beca imrsed in the research, completely ignoring the fact that she still had injuries in her mouth.
An Yan checked the ti, then took out two pills and handed them to her, "This one is a Qi-boosting Blood-replenishing Pill, which can restore lost qi and blood. This one is a Cultivation Pill. Take them together, and they can repair so minor issues in your body."
Yan An looked at the pills in her palm with surprise, "These, and that hemostatic and tissue-generating one you gave earlier, did you make them all?"
"Mm!" An Yan nodded.
Yan An reached out, took the pills, and put them in her mouth.
Then she picked up the pen and wrote, "It seems that people in our family, even if we don’t live together, still end up on the path of dicine."
"My eldest and second brothers didn’t follow this path," An Yan said.
"Eldest brother and second brother? So Little Aunt had three children?"
"Mm," An Yan nodded. "The eldest brother is nad An Yaoluo. The second brother is nad An Duxuan."
"An Yaoluo, An Duxuan, and you’re An Yan! So your nas are from the line of poetry, ’While all other flowers wither and fall, one alone blooms bright and beautiful’?"
An Yan nodded, "Correct."
Yan An picked up the pen and wrote again, "My grandfather’s na is Yan Cheng. He was one of the first group of governnt-sponsored students to study abroad during the late Qing Dynasty. My father’s na is Yan Guitu, and my aunt’s na is Yan Yuyan. Their nas an ’on the return journey, words bring peace.’
My grandfather nad so the family wouldn’t forget my little aunt. He used her na directly, just omitting the middle character ’Yu’ to differentiate us!"
Yan Yuyan.
Yang Yu.
An Yan was probably so young when she was abducted that she couldn’t speak clearly, leading her kidnapper to misrember her na as Yang Yu! But it’s also possible they deliberately changed her na to Yang Yu so her family couldn’t find her! Regardless, whoever abducted my mother back then deserves to die!
"I have one older brother and one older sister. My elder brother is nad Yan Sīguī, and my second sister is nad Yan Sinian."
"An Yan, after we find those bad people and bring them to justice, you, along with my first and second cousins, should move to Shangjing City."
"My parents said that they would also move back here later."
Yan An proudly pointed outside, then continued writing, "This house is worth five hundred million. Our family owns very profitable companies overseas. It’s called Lukang! I don’t know if you’ve heard of it.
So, if you don’t like living with , I can also buy several more houses for you. You and my first and second cousins can pick whichever you like!"
An Yan: "???"
"Also, do you want to be a powerhouse executive? Do you want to transfer my two companies to your na? You’d just need to share the profits with monthly."
An Yan: "..."
Is this cousin of hers actually a naive and sweet girl?
Yan An looked at An Yan with anticipation in her eyes!
She wasn’t naive and sweet. Rather, this incident had shown her An Yan was a capable person! That’s why she was willing to trust her completely. Of course, the most important thing was that she wanted to take things easy herself and focus on doing what she loved!
"Cousin, don’t rush. We can talk about this later. Right now, the most important thing is to find Gu Xiu and the others first."
Yan An nodded, "Alright, let’s find them first!"
The files were thick, and Yan An couldn’t get through them all at once. She needed a quiet place to think, so she simply took the files to the study.
As for An Yan and the others, she only wrote one line for them, "The house is big, make yourselves at ho!"
An Yan: "..."
Her cousin didn’t seem wary of her at all.
Watching her enter the study, An Yan could only accept it. "Luolie," she instructed, "take a few people and stay here with the young miss. If you get any leads on Gu Xiu, apprehend him imdiately."
"Alright."
As An Yan left the courtyard house, she threw the Insect Repellent dicine into the green belt. A dense swarm of insects crawled out.
An Yan gathered them in one place and set them on fire, burning them to ashes.
「**」
Upon exiting the alley, An Yan quickened her pace and got into the car.
In the car, Li Tianyao was once again dealing with emails.
She grabbed his hand, "You heard just now, right? Yan An is my cousin, and she can track people too! My maternal family’s company is actually Lukang! You’ve heard of it, right?"
Li Tianyao’s lips twitched slightly as he nodded.
He had done more than just hear about it. Years ago, that company had dabbled in gene editing. It was he who intervened, forcing the project to be shut down, causing Lukang heavy losses. At the ti, to prevent Lukang from restarting the project, he had even planned to acquire the entire company. Who would have thought the head of Lukang sohow found out his whereabouts, intercepted him, and pleaded for rcy. What did he say at the ti? It was sothing like: "Please revere life! Do not use the technology in your hands to do sothing that will destroy all of human civilization!" What is human civilization? Human civilization refers to the material and spiritual civilization established by humans! The cornerstone of this civilization is humanity! Having lived for a thousand years, his own team was also conducting gene research. Yet, over all these years, his team mbers hadn’t even unraveled the principles behind Gu Shifang’s mory immortality. Perhaps he stood in the rain for so long that he didn’t want others to follow in his footsteps. He personally halted Lukang’s gene editing project, bombed the laboratory, and destroyed all the data within. Fortunately, he didn’t annihilate Lukang at that ti, otherwise...
Li Tianyao glanced at An Yan guiltily.
Thankfully, the other party had agreed without hesitation back then. Since then, they had never touched genetic research again, nor had they released any gene-related drugs!
An Yan, unaware of his thoughts, continued with her own train of thought, "Now, I think you can go to the quarantine zone without worry! With my cousin’s help, I believe we’ll soon catch Gu Xiu and the Buddha figure backing him."
An Yan’s only thought now was to send Li Tianyao away. As long as Li Tianyao left, it ant that even if his condition flared up, he would no longer harm the people close to him, nor beco a vulnerability for others to exploit. This was the best solution for him, given that she couldn’t cure him yet.
Li Tianyao lowered his eyes, his fingers paused beside her ear, and he said softly, "Little girl, Li Yanluo has escaped."
