Si Niannian's hands on the table clenched into fists little by little, and the image that had confused her for many days flashed through her mind again.
Humanoid instrument.
An experimental subject whose face is covered with abscesses and whose facial features cannot be seen clearly.
There was also a hoarse, almost inaudible helpless whisper.
"It turns out she is my mother."
The tears that Si Niannian had been holding back all morning finally burst out of his eyes.
"I've seen her."
"I was so close to her."
"But I didn't recognize her, so I just left and left her there by herself."
"Third uncle, I obviously could have saved her if I had the chance. I really could have saved her at that time."
Boundless regret swept through Si Niannian's heart, then spread throughout his body and penetrated into his bones.
Seeing Si Niannian like this, Si Muen's heart felt worse than needle pricks.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Si Muen stood up and bowed deeply to Si Niannian.
"sorry."
"It's all because of my father that your mother and daughter have been separated for so many years. I'm sorry."
Si Mu'en burst into tears in her heart, but her eyes were so dry that she could no longer shed a single tear.
He no longer had the right to cry.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Si Niannian quickly helped him up, "These things were done by my second uncle and have nothing to do with you. You are my brother, how can you give me such a big gift?"
"Father's debt is repaid by his son. My father owes you, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in my lifetime..."
"Brother, I'm really angry if you say that again. No matter what, no matter what happens, you are my brother. You don't owe me anything. There is only family affection between us. If you are like this in the following days, If you face me with a guilty heart, the relationship between us as brother and sister will change and we will really not be able to go back to the past."
Si Niannian pressed Si Muen's shoulders and asked him to sit down.
"To be honest, I really can't forgive the things my second uncle did. I once said that I would personally avenge my parents. Even if the other party becomes my second uncle, I will not be merciful."
"So, if I do anything that embarrasses my brother in the future, please don't blame me."
After saying that, Si Niannian turned around and left.
She didn't go to see Si Mu'en again because she didn't know how to face him.
Si Xinghe patted Si Mu'en on the shoulder, "Uncle San knows that you feel uncomfortable, but sometimes in life you have to make choices."
Guan Bao also began to sympathize with Si Mu'en, "If you want a sister, you can't have a father. If you choose a father, you will lose your sister forever. It's really difficult."
Ring ring ring!
The phone in the living room rang.
"Hello? I am."
Si Xinghe listened to what was said and finally hung up the phone silently.
"Third brother, who is calling?" Lu Wanqin walked over and asked.
Not many people know the Si family's landline number, and it's usually not a trivial matter if they make this call.
"This is from Minister Jun," Si Xinghe said.
Lu Wanqin frowned, "Is the Detective Department planning to interfere in your second brother's affairs?"
Si Xinghe shook his head, "My second brother's matter is under pressure from the alliance. Minister Jun and the others want to take care of it, but their reputation is not justified. After all, the arm cannot twist the thigh, so we can only watch helplessly."
This is the power of authority.
Lu Wanqin knew the secret behind this. The last time Si Xiyou was arrested by the Detective Department, it was because of pressure from someone above.
Otherwise, with Lu Wanqin's ability, no matter how unruly and aggressive she is, the Detective Department will not let her go.
"Then why is Minister Jun calling?" Lu Wanqin asked again.
Her intuition told her that something big must have happened.
Si Xinghe's expression also confirmed all this.
"All major aristocratic families and sects are heading to Beicheng one after another. It is expected that they will all arrive tonight."
Si Muen and others also came over.
"The various sects have always kept aloof from the world, and some have even hidden themselves from the world for many years. How come they suddenly came to Beicheng, or together?"
Si Mu'en couldn't think of any methods until he saw Si Xinghe coming over with a somewhat solemn, but more interesting look.
Si Muen's eyes lit up, "Is it for the Xuanwu Lantern again?"
Si Xinghe smiled and nodded, "In today's world, the only one that can make all the major families and sects work together like this is the Xuanwu Lamp."
He tilted his body and leaned on the sofa as if he were boneless. He mentioned the words 'Xuanwu Lamp' with a tone full of contempt and disdain.
"My second brother has been fond of this kind of trick of using one's own strength to attack others since he was a child. But now that he has grown up and his wings have become stronger, borrowing one's own strength to attack others has become a borrowed knife to kill someone."
Not many people knew about the news that the Xuanwu Lantern was in the Si family. The immortals who were in the Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery that day were all dead. Therefore, no one but Si Xiyou could spread the news now.
Si Muen took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Third, what should we do next?"
Si Xinghe glanced at him and said, "You should pack up and get back to work. The President's Office will definitely not remain indifferent to such a big matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Muen's cell phone rang.
"Hello? I'm, okay, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Si Muen's face became serious.
"The President was attacked and the Presidential Office has been put under martial law. I have to take people to catch the murderer immediately. If we can't catch the murderer before dark, the city will probably be closed down."
Si Xinghe nodded, "Go ahead and be careful."
After Si Muen left, the atmosphere in the Si family became tense.
"Someone actually went to sneak attack the president? I remember that Uncle Bu's cultivation level is not low. Who dares to do such a thing after eating a bear-hearted leopard?" Guan Bao was carrying a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings and took a few bites of the remaining ones. They ate them all.
Lu Wanqin turned on the TV and checked all the channels, but didn't see any reports about this matter.
"It seems that the news has been blocked by the President's Office. I wonder if Yi Fan was injured?"
"It shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise when the president's office called just now, he would have asked Mu En to bring Nian Nian with him," Si Xinghe said.
If Bu Yifan is in danger, Si Niannian is the only doctor he can trust.
Since Si Niannian was not mentioned, it meant that the injury was not serious.
After a pause, Si Xinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, "Outside the city, major families and factions are approaching, and inside the city, the president is under attack. Once the city is closed, the most nervous people will not be the people in the city, but the desperate people who are locked up outside the city. The one who gets the Xuanwu lamp.”
Lu Wanqin stood up suddenly, "So the attack on the president is also related to your second brother?"
Si Xinghe curled his lips, "With my second brother's ability, it's not impossible, and... in the entire North City, there really is no safer hiding place than the Presidential Office."
He smiled and looked out the window in the direction of the Presidential Office.
"Third uncle suspects that second uncle Si is hiding in the presidential office?" An Luo asked.
The smile on Si Xinghe's face did not diminish, but became more interesting, "What else? I am in the outer city, and the inner city is also covered by the power of the dynasty. And my second brother knows everything about your relationship with the dynasty. How can he still Where to hide?"
