Ling Jiu came to the headquarters of the Yang Group after leaving Ling’er’s home.
The current evidence showed that Yang Su was unlikely to be the mother. But Ling Jiu felt it was necessary to make the trip, just in case.
When he arrived at the Yang’s Building, Ling Jiu saw the president of Yang Group.
Graceful and elegant, that was Ling Jiu’s first impression of Yang Su.
In fact, this woman named Yang Su, Ling’er, and Xiaotong looked similar in appearance. Their eyebrows, noses, and faces were cast from the same mold.
The only difference was, Yang Su was more mature while Ling’er and Xiaotong looked a lot greener.
“No wonder Dad thinks she is Mom. She looks almost like Mom.”
Ling Jiu shook his head. At this moment, Yang Su in the office suddenly looked up and glanced in Ling Jiu’s direction. She frowned in puzzlement.
“What’s wrong, Madam Yang?” the secretary reporting to her asked in surprise.
“No… nothing. Please continue.”
Yang Su shook his head, suppressing the doubts in her mind as she murmured. She thought someone was there, but it seemed that it was just an illusion.
“She saw me?”
Seeing this scene, Ling Jiu could not help frowning at seeing her reaction.
From what he perceived about Yang Su, she was only a low-level Arcanist who had only one Arcana: Fire Manipulation. She had no perceptive Arcana.
It was supposedly impossible for her to sense his presence in the dimension.
Yet, just now, Ling Jiu was convinced that she had indeed sensed him.
“Could she really be Mom?”
Ling Jiu took a deep breath and performed a Time Half with the wave of his hand. He froze the time in the office and then pulled out a few hairs from Yang Su’s head.
“A paternity test will reveal the truth.”
Ling Jiu left the Yang Group building and went straight to the nearest hospital.
The report was out after an hour. He looked at the report and fell into silence. Ling Jiu was silent.
“She really is Mom!”
Ling Jiu could not help looking in the direction of Yang’s Building with a baffled look in his eyes. “Even the most vicious beast will not harm its cubs. Why is this woman so cruel?”
As a time-traveler, Ling Jiu could not care less if Yang Su was his mother. He only cared about his father and two younger sisters the most.
Forget the others.
Ling Jiu was shocked by Yang Su’s behavior, even from a bystander’s perspective. She left her husband and two young children, and when she found she was pregnant with another child, she threw it into a dumpster after giving birth.
What kind of woman could do such a thing?
Was she still a human?
Heartless?
Cruel?
Unfeeling?
Ruthless?
All these did not seem to be enough to describe her.
Ling Jiu came out of the hospital and came to the Yang Group building. At this time, Yang Su was the only one in the president’s office, where she was reading documents with a serious face.
It was hard to imagine this graceful and elegant person as a heartless woman who had abandoned her husband and children.
Ling Jiu stood in the office, quietly looking at his mother. He couldn’t care less if she was his mother. But it was the wish of his father.
Ling Jiu revealed himself and hemmed upon thinking of this.
“Who are you?”
Seeing Ling Jiu suddenly appeared, Yang Su’s expression changed upon seeing Ling Jiu’s sudden appearance, her right hand on the alarm button on the table.
“You don’t need to know who I am.”
Ling Jiu said, “All you have to do is to answer one question. Do you remember Ling Tianci from Lantian Base City?”
“I don’t know who Ling Tianci is.”
Yang Su frowned. “Also, who are you? Why did you trespass into my office? Do you know it is against the law?”
“Don’t you know Ling Tianci?”
Ling Jiu frowned and suddenly appeared in front of Yang Su, staring her in the eyes. “Look at my eyes and tell me wholeheartedly.”
Yang Su was taken aback, instantly pressing the button on the table.
The office door was pushed open with a bang as a fiery woman wearing a black leather outfit stormed in.
Her eagle eyes locked on Ling Jiu, her right foot planted on the floor as she lunged up like a female leopard at him.
Ling Jiu did not even bother to look. He performed a Dimensional Shackle to subdue the woman in a black leather outfit while she was still midway in the air.
She was less than two meters away from him, her body still maintaining a forward posture.
Yang Su looked on in disbelief. Ling Hua was a Level 6 Arcanist; no one was better than her in the entire Chang’an Base City.
However, the young man could subdue her in midair. How skilled was this boy? Who was he?
“Let me ask you one last time: Do you remember Ling Tianci from Lantian Base City?” Ling Jiu looked her in the eyes.
“I told you, I don’t know this person!”
Yang Su said, “What do you want, really? If I remember correctly, I don’t seem to know you either!”
“You don’t know Ling Tianci?”
It confused Ling Jiu.
The paternity test report clearly showed that this woman in front of him was his mom. How could she not know his dad?
If they did not know each other, how did his sisters come about? Did they pop out of some rocks?
Despite that, her eyes did not seem to say that she was lying.
Could she really not know Dad? Ling Jiu’s brows were knitted together tightly. Could it be…
Thinking of this, Ling Jiu suddenly grabbed Yang Su and vanished from the office. Ling Hua, the bodyguard, fell to the floor and looked in a panic as both of them vanished.
“Not good! Someone has abducted the president!”
…
“Where are you taking me?”
Inside the maglev airship, Yang Su stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking at the scenery flying past outside, she could not help but ask in a low voice.
“I suspect that someone has erased part of your memories,” Ling Jiu said. “So, I want to take you to a place and get you checked.”
“Someone erased part of my memories?”
Yang Su frowned. “Impossible! I’m the president of Yang Group. Who would dare to erase my memories?”
“Every peak sits under the shadow of another, so every man may meet one stronger than himself.”
Ling Jiu shook his head and chuckled. “The Yang Group and even the entire Yang family are nothing in front of a truly powerful one like me. I can take you away without anyone knowing it. Can the Yang family stop me?”
Yang Su was silent. She wanted to refute, but could not find a word. She could not deny that she was already in Ling Jiu’s hands.
“What the hell do you want?”
“I told you, I am bringing you to a place.”
The airship flew at high speed and arrived at the Australian mainland in no time. They went into a dimension and reached Pandora.
“I’m sorry.”
Ling Jiu gently poked Yang Su’s neck, and she instantly passed out. He put on an air filter mask for her and brought her to the exploration spaceship.
It did not take long before Ling Jiu arrived in the exploration spaceship with Yang Su.
“I need you to do me a favor, 9527.”
Ling Jiu went straight to the point. “I suspect that someone has erased her memories. Can you confirm that?”
“No big deal.”
“Great.”
“No problem.”
