Chapter 516: Chapter 516: 047 Missing

At this moment, Li Tianyi arrived.

He approached, saw Old Mr. Li holding a phone, and then noticed the photo on the phone, his expression slightly stunned and incredibly surprised.

Uncle Fu was the first to speak, reminding Old Mr. Li: "Second Young Master, good morning."

"Uncle Fu, good morning." Li Tianyi picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Putting the cup down, Li Tianyi smiled: "Dad, that photo you were just looking at is an ultrasound, I saw the word pregnancy. I wonder, who’s pregnant?"

Old Mr. Li never expected that Li Tianyi would actually see it.

And he certainly didn’t expect this to be a pregnancy ultrasound.

Old Mr. Li was embarrassed and awkward.

How should he answer Li Tianyi’s question?

Thinking it over, Old Mr. Li said: "It’s just an old friend of mine, he sent me the photo, saying he would soon have a great-grandchild, wanted to make me envious and jealous."

The look in Li Tianyi’s eyes gradually darkened, but when he looked up, they were back to normal.

"Dad, Ye Han and Nan Qiao are getting married, you’ll have a great-grandchild soon enough."

Old Mr. Li smiled contentedly: "I don’t dare to rush them; you know, as parents, we should see the bigger picture."

Uncle Fu, standing to the side, almost burst into laughter.

Who knows who was pushing for babies and weddings before.

Uncle Fu lowered his head, stifling laughter.

Perceptive as ever, Li Tianyi saw through it and kept his emotions in check as well.

"Dad, what you said is very true. If all parents were as open-minded as you, which youngster wouldn’t like it?"

Old Mr. Li felt comforted, believing himself to be an agreeable and open-minded parent.

Yes, that’s right, it was about him.

Li Tianyi said: "Dad, I want to visit mom’s grave. I haven’t been back for years; she’s surely annoyed with me. I bought flowers; I’ll go alone to see her."

Mentioning his late wife, Old Mr. Li’s expression visibly deflated.

"Your mom would be very happy to know you’re back; I’ll go with you."

"I’ll go alone. It’s been years since I’ve seen her, and I have a lot to say." As he spoke, a sorrowful look crossed Li Tianyi’s face.

"Alright, you go ahead and visit. Remember to take the salted egg yolk pastries your mom loves."

"I’ve already prepared them." Li Tianyi left, feeling desolate.

...

Cemetery.

Li Tianyi held a bouquet of chrysanthemums in his right hand and a box of salted egg yolk pastries in his left.

Entering the cemetery, Li Tianyi arrived at his mother’s grave.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a woman’s voice nearby.

"Boss."

Li Tianyi didn’t move a muscle; to his right on the ground, lay a fully camouflaged woman.

Her body blended with the grass, making it impossible to tell whether it was a person or just grass.

Even with binoculars, she couldn’t be detected.

"Didn’t I say not to come looking for me! Jing City is not like Dao Country. The people following me just left; don’t complicate things."

"Boss, our experiment was forced to halt. The subject is in Nanshan, we have to find a way to bring him back."

"I will handle this matter, just wait for now."

"Yes!"

Li Tianyi continued: "Did you find out who Nan Qiao really is? And my nephew Li Yehan, he isn’t as simple as he seems."

The woman, still lying down, respectfully replied: "Li Yehan has been in and out of the military intelligence section, though only twice. We suspect he might be connected to the intelligence department."

"What about Nan Qiao?"

The woman said: "Nan Qiao is Huai Xi, the designer, is Master Shan Shui, the painter, is the genius Ghost Doctor, and is also the big boss behind Yuan Qiao Technology Company. We are still investigating some other identities."

Li Tianyi frowned, not wanting to hear more of this nonsense.

"Alright, just investigate and continue our experiment. If there’s a mistake in the experiment, I’ll have your head!"

Upon hearing this, the woman trembling on the ground even shook the grass covering her body.

Li Tianyi: ??

"Speak!" Li Tianyi gritted his teeth, his usual elegance vanished, replaced by malevolence and terror.

The woman, trembling, explained: "In the destruction process, 047 disappeared."

Li Tianyi stomped on the woman’s fingers. In pain, the woman gritted her teeth, not daring to make a sound, fearing that any noise would further infuriate Li Tianyi.

"Fool!"

Li Tianyi didn’t remove his foot, his mind racing as he thought of someone who could help him manage things.

"Scram!"

Burning with anger, Li Tianyi turned and left.

The woman on the ground, with blood trickling from her mouth, still didn’t dare make a sound.

...

Nan Qiao brought the newly prepared medicine to Old Lu’s home.

Lu Wang opened the door for her and accompanied her to Old Lu.

Nan Qiao took out the medicine and placed it on the table.

"Grandpa Lu, I’ve written the instructions on the card for how to take the medicine."

Old Lu was full of joy, especially when he saw Nan Qiao, wishing she were his granddaughter.

Old Lu waved his hand, and a servant brought in a pot of red coral.

Lu Wang sat next to Nan Qiao, but kept a respectful distance from her.

"Nan Qiao, it’s thanks to you that Grandpa’s health can improve."

"Qiaoqiao, I heard your second uncle is back?" Old Lu didn’t expect that someone who had been missing for so many years could return.

If he could come back, why didn’t he come back earlier?

"Yes, my second uncle married someone from Dao Country and has three children."

Old Lu looked disdainful: "How could he marry someone from Dao Country? If your grandpa knew about this, he’d be unhappy. Although they can’t divorce, your grandpa would certainly not like someone from Dao Country."

Nan Qiao agreed.

Jiang Linyu’s identity is also from Dao Country, which casts a large shadow in the hearts of Old Mr. Li and Li Tianhong, making it hard for them to accept.

"Tomorrow I’ll talk to your grandpa and comfort him a bit." Old Lu wanted to do whatever he could, knowing he couldn’t offer much support to Nan Qiao anymore.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."

Old Lu smiled kindly: "I should be the one thanking you, without you, this old body of mine would be finished."

After exchanging some courteous remarks with Old Lu, Nan Qiao prepared to leave.

Lu Wang saw her out, walking down the path, and handed her a dagger.

"Nan Qiao, I’m giving you this dagger. I heard it’s made of thousand-year-old cold iron and can cut through iron like mud. Keep it; it might come in handy for self-defense."

Thousand-year-old cold iron?

Looking at the ordinary-looking dagger, Nan Qiao found it hard to associate it with cutting through iron like mud.

Out of politeness, Nan Qiao accepted it.

"Thank you, Lu Wang."

"Nan Qiao, if there’s anything you need, as long as our Lu Family can help, just say the word, even if it means spending all our fortune, I am willing."

Meeting Lu Wang’s determined gaze, Nan Qiao politely smiled: "Thank you, Lu Wang, I’ll be going now."

The servant carried Nan Qiao’s medical kit to her car.

Lu Wang watched her departing figure, standing still.

"Son, why not invite Qiaoqiao to stay for a meal."

Lu Wang turned around and faced the radiant Liu Yun.

"Li Yehan has asked her out for dinner."

Liu Yun approached with a gossipy tone: "Son, do you like Nan Qiao?"
