After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 576 The previous generation of the Yuan family had problems; they went down the mountain.

The recording that Duanmu Rongrong listened to intermittently for most of the night before was actually less than an hour of effective dialogue after processing.

However, the sheer length of time the conversation spanned and the shocking content of the dialogue kept Hummingbird listening for almost an hour, holding a full cup of coffee, without even thinking to take a sip.

The doctor paused in his work of rinsing the kettle, and didn't reach out to turn the tap back on until the sound from the stereo stopped.

Until Li Chengxiao reached out and tapped the table in front of him.

"Send me the processed recording."

The hummingbird then seemed to wake from a dream, exclaiming, "Ah, oh."

He quickly put down his coffee cup and carried out the order without fail.

After sending it, I turned around and saw the captain putting the recorder into his pocket. "Captain..."

He was now unsure whether he should offer some words of comfort or not.

This didn't happen in just one or two years; the captain was only six years old, just starting elementary school, when he was drawn into this conspiracy, and now, a full twenty years have passed.

Even though you can hear from the later recordings that Uncle Sen's attitude towards the captain changed from complete exploitation at the beginning to a more genuine appreciation and cultivation, that was only because the captain himself performed well. Ultimately, it all still had the purpose of exploitation.

Moreover, Uncle Sen actually used... to recuperate and suppress his old injuries. Not satisfied with that, he even went to Queshan to fantasize about using the stone fetus to regain his youth!

He had to admit, this was absolutely insane!
He didn't believe Uncle Sen didn't understand the principle of "seeking help from a tiger," but in the end, greed prevailed.

Li Chengxiao looked up and met the hummingbird's complicated gaze. "It's all in the past now."

Hearing him say that, the hummingbird knew he didn't need any comforting words. "Wait, this recording pen..."

"It was given to me by Madam Duanmu; she has already heard what's inside."

This means that the old lady got to know her nephew again through the recording, and thus learned about another side of him that he had hidden before his death.

It must be uncomfortable.

"Then she gave the recording pen to the captain..."

"That means she's already made up her mind." The doctor returned, wiping his hands. "But I don't understand, Uncle Sen, why did he still record his conversation with that person?"

"Is he trying to preserve evidence?"

Li Chengxiao turned his head to look at the computer in front of Hummingbird, "Check what the characteristics of the person who was talking to Duanmu Sen are."

Although the hummingbird was a little confused by the request, it complied and quickly made a discovery after screening the samples.

“This person…” he hissed softly, “their speech speed, tone, and manner are almost all on the same line. Does this person have no emotions? Could it be a robot over there?”

After all, only robots don't have emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness; even the cries of animals carry emotions.

Li Chengxiao interrupted the hummingbird's reverie and asked instead, "How's the investigation going with the Yuan family?"

“Well, not much progress.” Hummingbird scratched his head. “So far, we’ve only found out some things that are on the surface. Going back further, we can only find out that the Yuan family used to develop from a gray industry, but the generation of Yuan Qingzhuo’s father, the current head of the Yuan family, seems to have been deliberately erased. There’s a complete blank in the information, but that’s very strange.”

"On the surface?"

"The public's impression is that the couple died in a plane crash, and Yuan Qingzhuo inherited the Yuan family at a young age. But information such as the time and place of the crash is vague."

Is it possible that the person didn't die?

The hummingbird and the doctor both widened their eyes in surprise.

The captain really has some wild ideas!
"If the person isn't dead, why create the illusion that they are?"

"It's inconvenient for me to show my face." "For..."

Li Chengxiao stood up, and Hummingbird, seeing this, quickly took back his endless questions. "Captain, are you leaving?"

"Okay, keep investigating, find as much as you can."

"it is good."

After driving home, Li Chengxiao dialed Song Ciyuan's number.

Once the call connected, I asked directly, "Do you still remember your parents?"

Song Ciyuan was stunned for several seconds by the question. "Senior Brother, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"I am investigating the Yuan family."

“Oh,” Song Ciyuan replied somewhat uncertainly after a moment of thought, showing no awareness that he was investigating his own family. “Actually, I can’t even remember what they looked like. I only remember that they were very good to me and would buy me whatever I wanted, but they were also very strict. I don’t think I’ve ever left the house since I can remember. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been coaxed by that guy into thinking I could go and see another world. I agreed without thinking. When I came back here, I found out that they had already passed away.”

Moreover, he didn't feel particularly sad after hearing the news. After all, he had lived in the Canglan Realm for so many years, and that distant and fleeting emotion had long since faded away.

Furthermore, after returning to this world, he was busy saving his own life and trying to get his body back, so he didn't have time to investigate how his parents died.

"Do you think there's something wrong with the Yuan family?"

“I now think your parents might also have problems.”

Hearing his senior brother speak so calmly, Song Ciyuan suddenly shivered. "Senior brother, what...do you mean by that?"

"Think for yourself."

Song Ciyuan stared at the phone that had been hung up, his reflection fading into the black screen.

He desperately dug into the depths of his mind for memories related to his biological parents, but the more he tried to recall them, the more blurred they became.

A question I never dared to think about gradually surfaced in my mind: Why did that guy choose him when he was only six years old, instead of directly using a mature adult to go to the Canglan Realm and stir up trouble?
Is there something special about him?
No, he has to go down the mountain!
Go back to Beijing!
Turn the Yuan family upside down!
But not before that.

[Senior Brother, I want to go back to Beijing!]

Li Chengxiao was not surprised at all to receive this message.

Song Ciyuan was always very quick-witted, the complete opposite of Da Xiong.

The sudden decision must have been made because after the previous phone call, my thoughts wandered and I realized something was amiss.

Since Hummingbird's investigation from the outside world hasn't made much progress, let's start with Song Ciyuan himself.

After all, his identity already brought him a lot of convenience.

Okay, remember what I said: only give instructions to Li Zhi, and keep quiet the rest of the time.

【Yes, sir!】

After replying to the message, Song Ciyuan immediately called Li Zhi. When the call connected, his previously flattering tone changed instantly, and he said coldly, "I'm going down the mountain to return to Beijing tomorrow morning. You and Lin An will come and meet me."

As soon as Li Zhi replied with a "yes," she heard a busy tone; the call had been disconnected.

"what happened?"

"The Lord said that we will go down the mountain and return to the capital tomorrow."

"and then?"

"Gone."
