Lin Jiu called Fu Yu and planned to go to the base to find Si Xu. As they were walking towards the parking lot, they were stopped by someone.
Lin Jiu turned around and saw an extremely thin middle-aged man who moved slowly and needed someone to support him.
"Lin Jiu, your name is Lin Jiu, right?" The middle-aged man was very excited and quickened his pace to walk over.
Lin Jiu was alert, "Who is it?"
The middle-aged man was so excited that he was incoherent. "I, I am your father, Xiaojiu, I am your father."
Lin Jiu looked carefully and found that the middle-aged man in front of him had some flesh on his face, which was very different from the one lying on the hospital bed.
Lin Jiu knew that he had woken up, but he didn't know that he had recovered so quickly and could actually walk on his own.
Liao Tingwang wanted to touch Lin Jiu, but was stopped by Fu Ji's outstretched arm.
After learning about the habits of the Ruta tribe, Si Xu asked Fu Ji to come to the store every day, not for two meals a day, but to protect Lin Jiu.
Si Xu can be absolutely assured about the Ruta tribe's land battle. What makes Si Xu even more assured is that the Ruta tribe has received help from Lin Jiu, and the branch of them living in seclusion here is absolutely loyal to Lin Jiu and will never betray him.
Liao Tingwang looked at Lin Jiu, a little at a loss, "Xiao Jiu, Daddy is sorry for you, for making you suffer so much. I will make it up to you. Can I make it up to you in the future?"
Lin Jiu's mood was very complicated. It was the first time he met his biological father since he was a child. It was almost like facing a stranger. There was not the sense of kinship that Lin Jiu had imagined.
did not feel any sense of kinship with this person. Instead, it was the mother whom he had never met who always made him miss her.
Lin Jiu didn’t know if this was because of the mermaid bloodline.
Or maybe your mother was pregnant with you, gave birth to you, and took care of you for three months, but then had to leave you due to illness. Your mother's love and regret seem to be engraved in your bones and blood. Even if you don't remember it, the young you are emotionally dependent on that maternal love.
I miss my mother, but I am not touched by my father.
Perhaps it was because his father's love did not reach the level of his mother's, nor was it as pure as hers, which made Lin Jiu unable to fully appreciate it.
It is also possible that you don't love him at all.
The blood of the descendants of the Demon Sea is truly magical, and their sense of kinship exceeds that of any human on Earth.
Compared with Liao Tingwang's excitement, Lin Jiu seemed very calm.
"No need for compensation. I am living a good life now, and I hope you can live a good life too. Don't come looking for me again."
Although there was no kinship issue, Lin Jiu still felt a little uncomfortable psychologically, and he didn't know why.
"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, don't go!"
Liao Tingwang rushed over, and Fu Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, not daring to push him hard. After all, this man was Lin Jiu's father. During this hesitation, Liao Tingwang had already grabbed Lin Jiu's clothes.
Liao Tingwang burst into tears, "Xiaojiu, it is Daddy who is sorry for you. You can not forgive Daddy, but please don't lose sight of Daddy. I only have one child, please don't lose sight of Daddy..."
Fu Ji tried to pull Liao Tingwang away, but Liao Tingwang held Lin Jiu's hand tightly and cried so hard that he could not stand.
People passing by looked sideways. Many of them knew Boss Lin, but no one knew who this middle-aged man was.
Host, the situation is a bit strange. There is a very high radiation level in your body.
Lin Jiu paused: What do you mean
himself has no genetic potential, and such a high radiation value is enough to take his life, but he is still alive.
Lin Jiu hesitated: Can’t even I see the problem
Who, who said I can’t see the problem? It’s just the first time I’ve encountered something like this, and I haven’t figured it out yet.
Lin Jiu understood that the system really had no ideas, which was why it felt strange.
It was indeed too coincidental that a person who had been in a coma for two years woke up so suddenly.
"Let go, let's go to the store and talk."
Standing on the street and crying like this has a bad influence.
Boss Lin, who had left, came back with two people.
They went to the box reserved by Lin Jiu. The people brought by Fu Yu and Liao Tingwang stayed outside the door, and only the two of them, father and son, were in the box.
Seeing that Lin Jiu saw no chance to speak, Liao Ting thought that Lin Jiu had softened his heart.
"Xiaojiu, it's Dad's fault that he failed to protect you. Dad will take good care of you in the future. Can you give Dad a chance?"
Lin Jiu looked at him silently, "Can you tell me how you woke up?"
Liao Tingwang was stunned, his expression a little stiff, "Don't you want dad to wake up?"
Lin Jiu said: "I'm happy that you woke up, but isn't the way you woke up a bit inappropriate?"
Liao Tingwang: "The doctor said I woke up naturally. I am not a special case. There are people abroad who have been in a coma longer than me and have also woken up."
Lin Jiu frowned, a little confused.
Liao Tingwang: "My body is recovering. When I fully recover, I will do my best to compensate you."
Lin Jiu said: "No, you don't need to compensate me, you have nothing to apologize to me, the person you apologize to is my mother, but she is gone, no matter how much you repent or say sorry, she can't hear it. If you want to make up for your debt to my mother by asking me, I won't accept it, and I don't need it. We should live our own lives and be well. If we can avoid meeting each other in the future, we'd better not meet."
Liao Tingwang had tears in his eyes and looked at Lin Jiu, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Lin Jiu stood up and said, "Wait a moment."
Lin Jiu left the box, went to the kitchen, took out a 500g box of caviar from the space ring, and re-entered the box.
He put the caviar in front of Liao Tingwang and said, "This is the caviar I made. Take it back and eat it. The radiation level in your body is very high and may erupt at any time. Take precautions and try to save your life."
"Xiaojiu..." Liao Tingwang wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Jiu.
"Although I don't know what happened, it's probably not that you woke up naturally. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. Your body is your own, so take care of yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lin Jiu came out again, but he was not in the mood to go to the base, so he went home alone.
Si Xu has been busy with the assessment and reorganization of Team 7 recently and probably has no time to accompany him. Lin Jiu did not disturb him from work and went home to make silver caviar, waiting for Si Xu to get off work in the evening.
Lin Jiu put his cell phone on the sofa and entered the super smart kitchen from the living room. If there was a call coming in, he would be able to hear it.
In the afternoon, Si Xu called and asked him if he wanted to meet the Elton family.
The Elton family has been investigating Vera's origins. Vera's identity is a mystery. If you insist on investigating, your origins point directly to an orphanage that no longer exists. No one knows who her parents are.
Judging from Xiao Lailei's perception, Lin Jiu and they are definitely related.
Based on this result, Xiao Lailei's speculation is very likely to be true.
The current head of the Elton family wanted to meet Lin Jiu in person, but was rejected by the "Special Security Department".
They are still investigating and want to find more evidence to prove that Vera is the lost child of their Elton family. As long as Vera's identity is proved, Lin Jiu's identity will also be confirmed.
But before they found any evidence, the news that mermaids really existed spread all over the world. When the Elton family saw the photo, they could no longer sit still.
The Elton family is the oldest Siren family. There is no record of this strange face in the family history. There is no doubt that this person is definitely one of their clansmen.
The head of the Elton family was about to go to country H to confirm this matter, but was stopped by little Lailei.
The first reaction of little Lai Lei when she saw the photo was that it was Lin Jiu.
Both the head of the Elton family and Lottie were shocked. The only similarity between the Siren in the photo and Lin Jiu was the long hair. Even the eye color was different, and the time and place did not match.
Since the news of the real existence of mermaids came out, netizens from all over the world have been digging for it, and Lin Jiu was also dug up. But when the tsunami occurred in Country H, Lin Jiu went to the store, and many people on the old street saw it.
If the mermaid was really Lin Jiu, how could she have run from country H to country Z at the same time? So Lin Jiu was exposed, but was quickly replaced by netizens.
Impossible, impossible, it definitely couldn't be their Boss Lin, so let's not dig into this matter anymore, it has nothing to do with Boss Lin.
Regarding the statement that Boss Lin is not a mermaid, even the nitpickers stopped arguing and all agreed that Boss Lin is not a mermaid.
The speed of filling was so fast that people were caught off guard.
Lin Jiu was originally a suspect of the Elton family, and now with the feeling from little Lai Lei, they would not give up no matter what.
In order to confirm whether Lin Jiu was the mermaid, the Elton family tried to find Lin Jiu in the store several times, but each time they were stopped by people hiding in the dark and were not allowed to approach the Magic Fish Shop.
The Elton family did not give up and has been negotiating with the "Special Security Department". If they can confirm that Lin Jiu is a mermaid, then there is no need to check Vera's identity anymore. Lin Jiu is definitely the lost bloodline of their Elton family.
For this reason, old Elton flew over from Country M despite his sick body to see the child with his own eyes.
The previous head of the Elton family, the current head and the two children of the current head are all present, and they just want to confirm Lin Jiu's identity.
Si Xu, who knew the whole story, could stop the Elton family from meeting Lin Jiu, but he could not decide for Lin Jiu whether to meet them.
So Si Xu left the decision to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu was very unfamiliar with this family and had never heard of it before.
"Why do you want to see me?"
Si Xu should have told Lin Jiu about the Elton family when he knew that Lin Jiu was a mermaid. For various considerations, Si Xu had been hesitating, but the Elton family was determined to meet Lin Jiu, otherwise they would not give up.
If Lin Jiu doesn't want to see them, we can only accept it. But if some forces prevent them from meeting, the Elton family will not accept it, and if they are pushed to the limit, the matter may escalate into an international issue.
Si Xu knew very well how much Lin Jiu had suffered since childhood. He longed for family affection, but was hurt by it time and time again. Si Xu didn't know what the Elton family's attitude was, whether it was sincere or false, and he didn't want Lin Jiu to worry about family affection anymore.
But Si Xu also knew that Lin Jiu had different feelings towards his mother, so he wanted Lin Jiu to decide for himself whether to meet the Elton family.
Si Xu said: "The Elton family is the oldest siren family in Country M. The Lottie and Lai Lei you saw are the children of the current head of the Elton family."
Lin Jiu never expected that Lottie and Xiao Lailei possessed siren genes.
Could it be that the sense of closeness between us comes from this
We all have Siren blood, so that's why this happens
Lin Jiu met Lottie and Xiao Lailei. The system did not actively jump out to extort his magic value and tell him that he met his own kind. It should be that their siren genes were too weak.
Can such a weak Siren gene really have such powerful power
"The Elton family came here to look for their relatives. Old Elton's sister has a daughter who has been wandering around. They have been looking for her for many years and recently followed the clues to find her here."
Having said that, anyone who is not stupid can figure it out.
The person the Elton family is looking for should be Vera. Lin Jiu is Vera's child, so they want to see Lin Jiu.
Si Xu asked him, "Do you want to see us?"
Lin Jiu did not answer immediately, but asked: "Did you tell me why my mother has been wandering outside?"
Si Xu: "I asked, but they didn't elaborate, only saying that they would tell the child the truth."
That is to say, if Lin Jiu was not that child, we would not say it.
The Elton family was not sure about Lin Jiu's identity and it was just speculation, but Lin Jiu had already confirmed that she was a mermaid. The Siren family came to look for someone and they would not think of anyone other than her mother.
Lin Jiu hesitated. He really wanted to know what happened to his mother, but he was worried that his identity would be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble.
Si Xu seemed to know my concerns. "The Elton family told me that if you are really a mermaid who can transform, you can't hide it at all. Those people will find you sooner or later. Your mother and your grandmother were both persecuted."
Si Xu didn't know who those people were, but his intuition told him that Lin Jiu might be in danger.
Lin Jiu's heart was pounding, and he thought of a possibility.
Lin Jiu: "Is it okay for me to reveal my identity as a sea monster?"
Si Xu: "If you want to know the truth, I will solve other problems for you."
Lin Jiu: "I want to know the truth."
Si Xu: "Okay, I understand. I will arrange for us to meet."
Si Xu did not allow anyone from the Elton family to meet Lin Jiu privately. Although they came here in secret, no one could guarantee whether they were being targeted by anyone.
It could be explained that the two children went to the store for the sake of delicious food. However, if the current and previous heads of the Elton family both went to the Magic Fish Shop, it would be like making Lin Jiu's identity public.
Especially for those who know the ins and outs of the Elton family.
That night, after Si Xu got off work, Lin Jiu asked Si Xu to accompany his grandfather and grandparents to deliver caviar.
Seeing that Lin Jiu cared about them so much, the three old people were very happy. As if they had agreed, each of them gave a thick red envelope. Grandpa and grandma gave four in total, two to make up for the red envelopes they gave last time they met, and two for this time.
Lin Jiu was very embarrassed. He really didn't want the red envelope. The main reason was that he had too much caviar in his hand, which had high nutritional value. That's why he asked them to send it, but he ended up coming back with a big red envelope.
Lin Jiu didn't want it, but Si Xu asked him to accept it, as it was the gift from his elders after all.
Lin Jiu's caviar was delivered at the right time. The grandson of Grandpa Si's comrade-in-arms worked in a coastal city. The radiation level in his body was high and he had already shown symptoms of discomfort. His family was extremely anxious and bought a lot of mutated seafood for him to eat, but the effect was not good. They also tried to grab an number on the Magic Fish app, but failed to get it.
Grandpa Si asked Lin Jiu if he could give a box of caviar to his old comrade
Lin Jiu: "Of course, I'll give you a few more boxes because I thought you might need them. You can call me next time if you need them. I don't have much of anything, but I have the most energy-rich seafood."
Grandma Si smiled and said, "We are all busy, and Grandpa was afraid of bothering you, so he kept it to himself."
Lin Jiu: "It's okay, you can tell me or Si Xu next time."
Grandma Si nodded yes repeatedly.
As long as they can solve the problem, they won't bother the children.
