Dragon Clan: I, Nono! Inherit countless futures!

"You're saying you want to be the guardian of a 14-year-old boy? But how old are you?"

The man, whose face was square like a terracotta warrior, said seriously into the phone, "As for custody, not just anyone can fight for it. There has to be a blood relationship, and then there's the issue of child support... Our family isn't so poor that we need that much money."

"Oh, you can handle it. I believe you can manage. Anyway, I want to adopt this boy legally and compliantly. As for child support, it's not a matter of being poor. Not a single penny less. I want it all back."

The girl on the other end of the phone spoke nonchalantly, but her tone was nothing like that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

The man wanted to say something more, but the girl hung up the phone immediately.

The man's brows furrowed even deeper, and almost without hesitation, he dialed the Gattuso family's number.

After truthfully reporting Chen Motong's every move during this period, he said in a low voice, "It seems that her request to go to Shilan Middle School is for this boy named Lu Mingfei."

"I investigated Lu Mingfei, but haven't found anything yet. The only surprising thing is that his parents seem to be of mixed race. More detailed information will require further investigation..."

"No need."

The voice on the other end of the phone interrupted him directly. The old man repeated, "No need for investigation. Lu Lincheng, Giovanni, is an old friend of Angers."

"What I need to know now is why Chen Motong knew about Lu Mingfei's existence. She shouldn't have had any way of knowing about this person."

The man had no way of answering the question. After Chen Motong gradually changed, he carefully investigated the girl's entire life.

But nothing was amiss; everything was as he knew it: he studied diligently, accepted the family's arrangements obediently, and was both gifted and somewhat mischievous.

But after that interrogation, everything changed.

She not only seemed like a completely different person, but she also learned many secrets that she shouldn't have known.

It's just like……

"Since the last interrogation, Chen Motong seems to have had many strange memories in her mind, or rather... it's as if someone who doesn't exist told her all of this."

The man considered his words carefully before speaking: "Perhaps, that woman has already awakened."

Silence, a long silence, but the man could clearly hear the breathing on the other end of the phone becoming heavier.

"Try to meet her demands, and at the same time send someone to investigate." After some time, the old man spoke again, his tone becoming serious: "I want to see what she can do."

"If it turns out that it was all just a bluff, then I will make her wish she were dead."

……

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the computer screen.

The rented room was very spacious, many times larger than his previous cramped room. Even the old-fashioned computer that he used to have to outwit his cousin Lu Mingze to play was now the latest model.

And no one is competing with him, so he can play for as long as he wants and however he wants.

The refrigerator was filled with all sorts of snacks and drinks, and the kitchen cooler was also stocked with hot meals. Plus, there was no need to worry about saving the best food for his cousin; it was all his.

It all belongs to him alone.

This is a life that Lu Mingfei could never have dreamed of.

But Lu Mingfei couldn't be happy at all, and he even lost his energy while playing games.

The final scene on the screen shows countless human cruisers focusing their fire with Yamato cannons, turning his nest into a pool of blood.

He lost again; he didn't win a single game today.

"Bro, you played pretty well, but you seemed a bit off today. Show me the same spirit you had last time when you beat me up!"

Lu Mingfei received a new QQ message. He switched to QQ and saw that the avatar of a recently added friend was flashing incessantly. It was a panda with a rather smug appearance, and the ID was "Old Tang".

Lu Mingfei had no friends at school and didn't have any particular talents, except for playing StarCraft games, where he was quite skilled.

This "Old Tang" was a new online friend he had recently met. The other person also liked playing StarCraft and was equally skilled.

Lu Mingfei played a game with him, and both of them were extremely impressed. They immediately developed a mutual respect like heroes and made a promise to play together again in the future.

Lu Mingfei was initially very happy to have someone to play games with, and the two got along very well, their temperaments and personalities were compatible, making them the perfect gaming partners.

But now he can't muster any enthusiasm.

He typed a sentence as his fingers tapped on the keyboard, his head drooping.

"Sorry, bro, I've run into some things lately, so I might not be in the mood for games."

The other party was clearly waiting for his reply; he received a message from them shortly after sending it.

"What happened, bro? Got into trouble?"

It was just a simple greeting, but Lu Mingfei's eyes slowly reddened.

Perhaps it's because the other person is just an online friend, and saying more won't affect their real life; perhaps they're genuinely feeling down and want to confide in someone; or perhaps they simply feel cared for...

In short, Lu Mingfei recounted his ordeal and asked the other person, bewildered, what he should do.

"Should I go back and apologize? My aunt hasn't contacted me at all, and my uncle hasn't looked for me either. Do they really not want me anymore?"

There was no immediate response from the other party, so Lu Mingfei gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Yes, he's just an online friend, yet he asked such a profound question. He really doesn't know how to behave properly.

Just as he was about to apologize to the other person, before he could say anything, a video call invitation suddenly popped up on his computer.

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, hesitated, but still answered the call. A guy with droopy eyebrows and a very distinctive appearance waved at him from the other end of the line, his voice booming like thunder: "Hey, bro!"

"Let me tell you, you absolutely cannot go back in this situation. If that girl is willing to help you, just listen to her! If you can get the child support back, believe me, you'll be much better off!"

Old Tang said loudly, "Actually, there's nothing scary about living alone. I've lived alone for so many years, you get used to it!"

Looking at the child's innocent face, Old Tang thought for a moment and added, "Besides, if you're really afraid of being alone, you can consider me your older brother. Although I can't go back to America for the time being, I have a lot of experience living alone. You can ask me any questions you have!"

He seemed to enjoy talking, rambling on and on: "And to be honest, when I see you, I feel a sense of closeness, like you're my younger brother. Don't laugh if I say this, but I've always felt like I should have a younger brother..."

"So don't worry, listen to me, I would never hurt you!"

Looking at that face, which was full of joy yet sincerity, Lu Mingfei nodded with red eyes.

He said, "Okay."
