Gu Qi still didn't look up: "Well, let's leave it for now."

"Master, I'll leave first."

"Hmm...wait a minute, what did you just call me?" Gu Qi finally raised his head, his eyes were light and he couldn't tell what his emotion was.

Qi Bubai's expression remained unchanged: "Master, is there any problem?"

Gu Qi stared at him for two seconds, then shook his head, "It's nothing, I just haven't heard you shout like that for a long time... You can go out."

"Yes, Master Xiuzhi."

"..."

After reading about a dozen documents, Gu Qi picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then continued reading the next document.

Some of these are about the recent deployment and placement of personnel, and some are about data recently collected from the Black Tower. In addition, there are also the losses of materials in recent times, etc., which are a bit cumbersome.

When Gu Qi finished reading the last document, he looked up and saw the clock on the wall of the study room. The hour and minute hands on it were already pointing to 0 o'clock at the same time.

A new day has come.

There was a simple small calendar placed on the edge of the desk, and Gu Qi tore off the page.

When Gu Qi saw the new date, his expression was startled——

September 9th.

His eyes paused on the calendar for several seconds before he could move away.

At this time, Gu Qi felt that his mind was getting more and more drowsy, so he tidied up his desk, took off his glasses, lay on the table, and slowly closed his eyes...

After Gu Qi was completely unconscious, some conversations came from outside the door:

"Sir, the young master is inside and should have fallen asleep."

"Yeah, I got it."

Qi Bubai respectfully watched the man walk to the study, and then left with peace of mind.

The rest of the time is left to them, father and son.

...After all, today is the young master’s birthday, so he must have rushed back specially.

…

Gu Yan pushed open the study door and walked straight in.

At a glance, he saw Gu Qi lying on the table.

On the table, the unfinished coffee was still placed in its original place.

Gu Yan walked over and picked up Gu Qi, who was already asleep.

"...It's too light, and I didn't eat well." Gu Yan's deep voice seemed to have a hint of reproach.

However, the person he was blaming now couldn't even hear him.

He hugged the person, walked out of the study, and then entered a room, put the person on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

After doing this, he casually sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes falling on the sleeping person's face.

Suddenly, he snorted lightly:

"...You are really unimproved. I just ask you to guard the Gu family, but you have to make your own decisions."

Gu Yan remembered what Qi Bubai had reported to him not long ago - Gu Qi's condition had worsened again.

Gu Yan felt a little annoyed, but this anger was not directed at Gu Qi.

Gu Yan turned his head, and a transparent, black and white panel appeared in mid-air.

Gu Yan took out a bracelet from the panel.

This bracelet has a silver-white cold metallic light all over its body, and there is a square mirror screen in it, about the size of a fingernail.

Gu Yan put the bracelet on Gu Qidi's right wrist, and the next second, the bracelet lit up with a blue light.

After running for about two minutes, a small virtual screen was projected above the mirror of the bracelet.

A value is displayed above——

26.0.0

Gu Yan looked at this number, his eyebrows relaxed a little, and his clenched fists relaxed a little.

Gu Yan retested three times.

The numbers displayed three times are still the same as the first time.

That’s right…

Gu Yan took off the bracelet and took out another strange thing.

It is a shiny black stone, only the size of an egg, which can be held with one hand. It is engraved with many unfamiliar symbols and patterns.

Gu Yan first pricked one of Gu Qi's fingers with a thin needle and dropped a drop of blood on the strange black stone.

Later, Gu Yan took out a small bottle of reagent, which contained some blood.

Take a drop and drop it on the stone as well.

Gradually, the blood seeped into the black stone.

Gu Yan frowned tightly, watching the bright and dying blood flashing on the surface of the black stone.

After waiting for a full five minutes, the blood on the black stone was extinguished like a candle in the wind, and the entire stone darkened.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yan's face changed slightly.

Gu Yan did not believe in evil and tried several more times, but without exception, the stones turned dark.

Gu Yan's mood, which had just improved, fell to the bottom again.

What went wrong?

Completely matched in terms of bone age...

But the bloodline is...

Is Xiaojiu really not Ayan’s child?

Gu Yan thought about many possibilities. Finally, he took back the stone, turned his head, and fixed his eyes on the sleeping person.

Gu Yan's eyes became a little dark and unclear. He slowly stretched out his hand and landed on Gu Qi's face.

Then, with a gentle touch, he pushed away the broken hair from his forehead.

Immediately, he withdrew his hand.

Gu Yan's expression slowly became firm.

No matter what, Xiaojiu is a member of the Gu family.

And that person must die.

Gu Yan pondered in his heart.

Is there something that can change a person's bloodline and DNA?

After all, the weird illness on Xiao Jiu was caused by that person...

At first, he believed in the DNA test.

But after I calmed down afterwards, I gradually discovered a lot of things that were wrong.

After he used a prop from another world to restore the fragmented memory of that year, he suddenly realized that he... had never really been with that woman at all.

That woman has been lying to him all along.

Therefore, it is impossible for that woman to give birth to her own child.

But after so many years, overtly and covertly, the DNA tested showed that he was Gu Yan's seed.

Gu Yan even imagined that his and Ayan's child was not dead.

He's back again.

That cheating assistant was bribed by that person to take his child away. He was not even able to see his child appear in this world for the first time, which became a regret in his heart...

Later, he often thought about how great it would be if Xiaojiu was his and Ayan's child...

However, no matter how many DNA tests were done, the final results showed that Xiaojiu and Ayan were not related by blood.

At first, Gu Yan thought he had been tampered with. After he faked his death, he secretly tested it many times.

But still the same result.

If you were an ordinary person, you might have already accepted your fate.

Or, I firmly believe that Xiaojiu is not Ayan's child.

But Gu Yan didn't believe it... He only believed in his own intuition and judgment.
