Chapter 896: Reuniting, In Beichen’s Daughter (2)
“If my father is dead, I will personally avenge him,” Si Fuqing said, her eyes calm. “If he is somewhere out there, I will find him, no matter how far, until the end of my days.”
Old Lady In’s body trembled. “Okay, grandma will accompany you. Alive, we must see him; dead… we must see his body.”
In this brief conversation with Si Fuqing, Old Lady In felt a renewed sense of purpose.
At least there was still hope, not entirely shattered.
Even if it was just a glimmer, she would not give up.
“Why are you in Mo City, grandmother?” Si Fuqing asked. “The In family doesn’t usually come here, right?”
Old Lady In held her hand and sat by the stone table, sighing. “I came to Mo City because the In family obtained a rare piece of metal. I wanted to ask the Mo family to help forge it into a weapon.”
Among the evolved beings, there were two schools of thought.
One believed that evolved beings inherently possessed evolution genes, a gift of nature, the ultimate direction of human evolution, and they could reach the pinnacle with their own strength.
The other group believed that no matter how strong an evolved being was, they were still flesh and blood and needed weapons to enhance their overall strength.
The latter view was mostly held by those below Class B evolved beings.
Old Lady In wasn’t particularly concerned about the evolution gene; she believed in using any means to increase power.

“But now, weapons are no longer important.” Old Lady In tightly grasped Si Fuqing’s hand, tears streaming down her face again. “Finding you is the greatest blessing.”
Heaven had shown her mercy, giving her one last hope.
She wished she could trade her life for the safety of her children.
“Where is Yaonian now?” Old Lady In asked urgently after calming her breath. “Qingqing, let’s go see your uncle right now.”
“Grandma, you’ve just recovered; you should rest for a day,” Si Fuqing replied. “We’ll go tomorrow.”
“I was too anxious.” Old Lady In patted her head, still worried. “Qingqing, you are a top star now. Will that bring you any trouble?”
Si Fuqing smiled. “I will do everything I can to protect those around me, even if it costs me my life.”
“Nonsense! Your grandma is still alive and strong.” Old Lady In’s expression turned stern. “If you say such things again, are you trying to anger me to death early?”
Si Fuqing hugged her arm and nuzzled her. “Yes, my grandma is amazing. I’m counting on you to protect me. Uncle Qiushi, there are rooms inside. Please help grandma to rest.”
In Qiushi quickly escorted Old Lady In to a bedroom.
Once Old Lady In’s emotions had fully settled, she soon fell asleep.
Si Fuqing tucked the blanket around her and then stepped outside.
It was a sunny day, the sunlight bright and warm.
She looked up, pressing her hand to the corner of her eye, feeling the dampness on her fingertips.
A tall figure shaded her from the glaring sun.
He raised his hand and patted her head gently, asking softly, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Si Fuqing said, rubbing her eyes. “I have a gradnma now.”
Yu Xiheng smiled. “Congratulations.”
Si Fuqing took a few deep breaths and then asked, “Brother Nine, you know a lot of people. Do you know anything about the In family’s tragedy?”
At the time of the In family tragedy, she had just been taken in by Ye Wanlan.
Later, when she talked with Odile Lotebar about the three great evolved being families, this super Class A evolved being from the Evolved Being Alliance was also very secretive about it.
Si Fuqing had thought she had no connection to the In family, but she had awoken to find otherwise.
“I’ve heard some rumors,” Yu Xiheng said indifferently. “But the exact details, I’m afraid even the In family themselves don’t know.”
Si Fuqing fell silent. “Yes.”
There was no logic to it.
But often, such killers needed no reason.
“Tomorrow, I’ll go back to An City with grandma” Si Fuqing said. “I’ll take leave from the program.”
She called Director Qin to request leave.
During the time Old Lady In rested, Si Fuqing worked intensively, finalizing the arrangements for his appearence in “The Nation’s Heroine” with JI Xingzhi, and then she contacted Director Lu.
“Director Lu, I’ve found a few more people,” Si Fuqing said lazily. “They are not actors, but they are perfect for the roles. You’ll be satisfied.”
“Oh, if you found them, I’ll definitely consider—” Director Lu nodded, but then suddenly reacted. “Not actors?!”
“Not stars either,” Si Fuqing said. “Ordinary people, but they look great. Don’t worry, they’ll be perfect.”
