Seeing that she was angry, Murong Zhi quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, I was just asking casually."

"Where was he when my mother was persecuted by the Ye family? Where was he when she set herself on fire? Where was he when I was tortured? Where is he until now? What a shitty father, it doesn't matter if he is not there or not." This was Shen Ju's true words. She had never thought of looking for such a biological father.

Murong Zhi lowered his eyes: "What if he has his own reasons?"

"I don't understand, nor do I want to understand his difficulties. So that's it, I'm leaving first." Shen Ju got up and left.

The first moment she came out, she told Zhou Xue to investigate Murong Zhi's identity in detail.

Jiu Shang looked at them strangely. The surname Murong was very common in other places, but if it came from Haicheng, it would be unusual. He remembered that there was a top powerful family in Haicheng with the surname Murong.

She and Rong Yan are going to Baicheng tonight, Jiu Shang will accompany them, and Shen Ju specially called him back.

They landed in Baicheng at 11 o'clock that night.

The temperature in Baicheng is a little lower than that in Mingcheng. When Rong Yan coughed twice, Shen Ju became very worried and put on a coat for him. "Did you catch a cold? Do you want to go back to the hotel to cool down first?"

Jiu Shang rolled his eyes and said, "If it were you, I'd just let this sickly kid go back to the hotel and let's go to the Gong family."

"Who are you talking about, sickly person?" Shen Ju frowned.

Jiu Shang said nonchalantly: "Whoever coughs, I'll blame him."

Shen Geng: "..."

Rong Yan looked at Jiu Shang coldly. If he was not Jiaojiao's subordinate, he would definitely be responsible for his words.

Jiu Shang didn't care about that and shouted, "Hurry up and leave. If you delay any longer, it will be dawn."

Shen Qi yelled at him: "Shut up!"

They went to Gong's house, which was still in ruins, just like the last time she came three years ago.

They searched for an hour, and Rong Yan suddenly stopped: "Something is not right here."

Shen Yu came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiu Shang also came over eagerly: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Rong Yan squatted down and swept away the thick dust on the ground with his hands, revealing a square brick.

"Is there anything wrong with this brick?" Jiu Shang asked.

Rong Yan: "This brick is so complete. There are basically no complete bricks here after the fire, but this brick is so complete."

Shen Ju tried pressing it and it actually turned on.

Before she could react, there was a loud bang and a tunnel appeared out of nowhere in the ruins not far away.

Shen Ju looked over and said, "This is... it should be my grandpa's bedroom. I told him that he must have left a backup plan."

The tunnel was not deep, and there was only a stone table with a mahogany box on it.

There is a combination lock on the box.

Jiu Shang tried a random string of numbers but none of them worked. Rong Yan said calmly, "This lock has a self-destruct device. It will explode automatically after a few incorrect passwords."

Jiu Shang glared at him: "Why didn't you say so earlier."

"You're so stupid, I can't stop you."

"You..." Jiu Shang's face flushed.

Rong Yan said to Shen Ju gently: "This is what your grandfather left behind. Only you can open it."

Shen Ju took the box, tried to enter a string of numbers, and the box opened.

It’s Gong Ran’s birthday.

There was a yellowed notebook inside.

It was written by my grandfather himself, and it said: All the Gong family members suffer from the "秾" disease, with a short life span and no cure. However, a meteorite from outer space was swallowed by my little daughter by mistake, and my little daughter welcomed a new life, which is the hope of our Gong family.

Turning further back, you will see the notes that Gong Ran wrote after he escaped.

I am so happy to have a granddaughter, and the whole family is happy. My granddaughter takes on the same power of meteorites as her mother, and my family is very lucky.

Grandpa has a lot of notes, all of which record every detail of Gong Ran's life since she was born, and then every detail after her birth.

After reading this, Shen Ju felt a sour nose and murmured, "So that's how it is. Everyone in the Gong family has a blood disease called "秾", which is hereditary. Those who have this disease cannot live long. A few years ago, when the Gong family's craftsmen were mining, they accidentally found a meteorite from outer space. They didn't know it was a meteorite, but thought the stone looked strange, so they put it in the warehouse. Once, the five-year-old Gong Ran sneaked into the warehouse to play and took a bite of the meteorite. Since then, the power of the meteorite has been in her blood."

Shen Ju's mood was very complicated. People said that their blood was special and they suffered a lot because of it, and even an entire family was destroyed. Little did they know that the source of the problem was actually a meteorite.

This also explains why the blood in her body gradually became the same as that of an ordinary person. No matter how powerful the meteorite is, there will come a day when it dissipates. The power of the meteorite in her body has already dissipated.

Shen Ju was full of hope: "Let's look for any remaining meteorites, maybe we can save you?"

Rong Yan said the truth: "Have you ever thought that if there really were any remaining meteorites, why didn't the other members of the Gong family use them to escape the fate of blood disease?"

Shen Yu was stunned.

"I guess its power has side effects."

"Look, there is one last page of words." Jiu Shang said.

The handwriting on the last page was faint and sloppy, as if it had been written in a hurry.

Shen Ju turned on the flashlight and could see the contents clearly through the light.

The content tells the truth about Gong Ran's self-immolation.

Tears welled up in Shen Ju's eyes: "My mother didn't set herself on fire, her body exploded."

The power of the meteorite is too great for the human body to withstand. Gong Ran also knows this. She is tortured by the power of the meteorite every day. When she is injured, the wound will heal quickly, but at the same time the side effects will increase little by little until the day when she can no longer hold on and her body will explode completely. The self-immolation is caused by the explosion.

The Ye family didn't know about the meteorite. They simply thought that Gong Ran had special blood and that Gong Ran couldn't bear the torture and burned himself.

This explains why in Shen Ju's memory, when his mother was with him, her eyes were always full of worry. She rarely smiled and often had a sad expression. Anyone would be worried if they had such a big hidden danger in their body.

She never believed that Gong Ran would commit suicide, because before her mother was captured by the Ye family, she had promised that she would come back.

There was not enough oxygen in the tunnel, so they went out with their notes.

Shen Yu wiped away her tears bit by bit, and finally looked deeply at the Gong family: "Let's go."

The next day when they returned to Ming City, Zhou Yun said as soon as they landed, "My Lord, there is someone who claims to be from the Murong family in Hai City."

-

On the street, Su Yusheng hid here and there and returned to the small hotel where she was staying. Ever since Ye Qingwu's death, she had completely lost her support. Shen Ju's people were looking for her every day, and she could only hide in this black hotel where she didn't need to register her identity information.

She was chewing bread in the cold room when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. She stuck her head out and saw several soldiers searching towards her.
