Chapter 857: Chapter 837: The Accident from Many Years Ago?
"There are too many bad people." Fang Youyuan sighed.
It wasn’t until Elvis finished eating that they got to the main topic. After all, talking about coffins while eating - even if it’s a Crystal Coffin - really kills the appetite.
After listening to Luo Qianqian, Elvis was silent, resting his chin while frowning deeply.
It was a long time before he looked up, "It should be an older person, though the voice was light, there was a dragging feeling while walking."
Luo Qianqian looked at Fang Youyuan, "See, I told you so."
Fang Youyuan squinted at Jimo Cheng and sighed, hesitantly glancing at Elvis.
Elvis hesitated, then stood up, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off."
"Hey, sit down." Luo Qianqian pulled Elvis back, "Don’t worry, Senior Brother, he’s not a bad guy. He won’t do anything that might harm me."
Upon hearing this, Fang Youyuan didn’t react much, but Jimo Cheng quickly lifted his head to look at Elvis with a scrutinizing gaze.
Luo Qianqian awkwardly scratched her chin, "He is..."
"I’m Luo Shufan’s brother." Elvis calmly said, "Qianqian is like a sister to me."
"Hmm?" Fang Youyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked incredulous, "You’re not that Xiao Jin Shufan mentioned??"
...Elvis twitched his lips and nodded.
If named by hair color, Luo Shufan would be Big Black, and then wouldn’t Luo Qianqian be Xiao Hei? How imaginative...
Jimo Cheng looked incredulous, "What’s going on?"
"I heard Luo Shufan mention twice that he had a trustworthy brother attending the same school as Jin Yuee, who also took care of her at times..." Fang Youyuan was speechless. So, can everyone be trusted?
Jimo Cheng looked incredulous, "So, you initially approached us because of Jin Yuee?"
Elvis looked unapologetic, "You thought I had that much interest in you? Dream on."
"Uh... let’s skip this. So... can we talk about something else now?" Luo Qianqian said to the three, looking speechless, as if they would start dissecting the matter again.
"Right, the focus is the identities of those two people yesterday." Fang Youyuan paused for a moment.
But Jimo Cheng frowned, "Weren’t you looking for that ’Seven’?" He looked at Elvis with a gaze full of questioning.
"What’s going on???" Fang Youyuan was taken aback, "That ’Seven’? The one I know? That big-shot?"
Luo Qianqian nodded.
"Really?" Fang Youyuan looked incredulous. After all, that person was a legend, but it seemed there hadn’t been any news of him for a long time?
"Mr Seven ah..." Fang Youyuan had a face full of admiration.
Luo Qianqian waved her hand, "Don’t get off track, Senior Brother."
Elvis nodded, "Yes, but later on, your condition wasn’t right to continue at all." He shrugged, looking helpless.
Jimo Cheng was left speechless.
It seemed it really was his fault.
After a moment of silence, Luo Qianqian spoke, "The issue now is those two people’s identities, not some 678, so organize your priorities."
"Yes." Jimo Cheng paused, then nodded, "The current focus should be to find the truth, the truth hidden behind the Jimo Family."
Though he looked a bit uneasy, he said, "Jin Yuee, if, and I mean if, someone really wants to harm you, no matter who it is, make sure to protect yourself."
Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, then nodded, "Senior Brother, I understand."
Thinking about the upcoming, uncertain, concealed family’s ranking battle that would eventually happen, Luo Qianqian’s face was full of confusion. She never participated in such events; how would she know what could happen?
"Speaking of which, do you remember the person who never lifted their head?" Elvis broke the silence, his expression slightly solemn, "I investigated, and, well, the results were surprising."
Luo Qianqian looked surprised, "How did you investigate?"
At the time, there were no photos taken, and all they saw was the person’s lowered head without any details of the mouth, chin, or face shape visible.
Fang Youyuan’s focus was on something else, "What results?"
"His household registration has been canceled." Elvis seemed calm, but his words were anything but calming.
"Canceled registration? Doesn’t that mean..." that the person is already dead?
Luo Qianqian’s mouth gaped open; it really was an unexpected result.
Jimo Cheng paused for a moment, then shook his head, "He’s still alive."
"Yes." Elvis nodded, looking at Luo Qianqian with amusement.
Luo Qianqian looked speechless, thinking her reaction was normal, right?
"What’s going on?" Luo Qianqian frowned.
"Well, I sketched a few images, adding every detail I could imagine, then switched different face shapes and mouths to search image databases. Surprisingly, the results, after excluding details, left only two people besides a few still living. But one of them, still young, only in his forties, didn’t match, and the current photos of the good ones didn’t match either, leaving only one most similar." Elvis paused.
Luo Qianqian instinctively swallowed, "And then?"
"Then?" Elvis gave a wry smile, "Then it was unexpected for you."
"At most, wasn’t it just canceling the registration?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, but soon frowned, "Wait, how did you find out if it was just canceled registration?"
"Even if canceled promptly, there’s source data, like after you uninstall software, there’s still some trash left, same logic." Elvis gave a wry smile, "He was born in the 1900s."
"That’s normal..." Luo Qianqian tilted her head, "Living to one hundred thirty-something years is normal."
"Yes, but his registration was canceled in the 1990s. I saw his photo on a scanned newspaper article - he was a biologist." Elvis laughed, "Is this still normal? And being buried alive in a laboratory, is that normal too? At that time, dozens were buried alive, but later, no one was found."
Luo Qianqian froze for a moment, falling silent.
"Moreover." Elvis paused again, "Luo Xinyue also disappeared during that rescue."
Luo Qianqian was completely stunned.
She knew her father wasn’t dead; that was recent news.
In the same accident, both victims and rescuers disappeared?
"Uncle?" Jimo Cheng was also stunned; although he hadn’t met him, Luo Qianqian’s file stated she had never met her biological father.
Fang Youyuan was equally dumbfounded, "If they’re all right, does that mean Uncle too...?"
