"Your father and elder brother have accompanied Nan Xiao to the imperial palace, and your maternal grandmother and the others are still at the hospital and haven't returned," Tang Wan said, looking at her daughter's tired little face with deep concern. "You must be exhausted, go get some rest."
"I'm fine, not too tired," Lan Yuxi said, holding her two children's small hands as she got into the car with her mother. "Mom, I didn't show up at the banquet that day, did people say anything outside?"
"No, your Uncle Sandy has already announced Jenny's actions to the public, so everyone knows why you weren't present."
Lan Yuxi smiled. "Uncle Sandy is quite protective of me."
"He owes you his life, of course he'd protect you. Yesterday, he and your aunt wanted to see Mu Mu, but your father stopped them. However, they're definitely coming tonight. It's good you're back, otherwise, we would have been found out."
Lan Yuxi glanced at her mother and chuckled. "We've already been found out. With all the commotion on my end, it's impossible for them not to know."
Tang Wan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Even if they know, there's nothing to fear. Your going to save someone doesn't conflict with Mu Mu being scared sick... I heard your师娘 woke up?"
"She's awake and will be returning to Huaguo in two or three days."
"After so many years of searching, your师父 can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel."
"Yes. Oh, Mom, I can't rest yet. I need to go to the hospital to see my father, Jin Song."
Tang Wan's heart ached for her daughter. "Your father Jin Song hasn't woken up yet, but all his indicators are good. Zhao Zhao's grandfather, your maternal grandmother, and Zi Xin are all there. Perhaps you could go tomorrow?"
Lan Yuxi rubbed Mu Mu's little head and said in a deep voice, "I'm going there specifically to wake him up. Nan Xiao and I will be returning soon, and we'll have to deal with Chen Mo after we get back. If we have Father Jin Song's testimony, it will be much easier to handle him."
Tang Wan sighed softly. "When you return this time, your father and I can't go with you. We have to wait for your father Jin Song to recover before we can go to Huaguo."
"It's alright, Mom and Dad, you can stay here with peace of mind. We can take care of ourselves." Lan Yuxi took out her phone and made a call after the car stopped.
"Have the DNA results you were asked to do come back?" Lan Yuxi asked in a deep voice.
"They have. The results have been sent to Prime Minister Nan. The biological father-daughter relationship between the two has been confirmed."
"Good. Got it." Lan Yuxi got out of the car.
Tang Wan smiled. "Are you asking about the鉴定 results for your师父 and Yi Nan? I knew it, why are you even calling?"
Lan Yuxi smiled. "I already knew the鉴定 results for my师父 and师兄. I was asking about the paternity test between Chen Mo and Duan Ting."
"Are they father and daughter?"
Lan Yuxi narrowed her eyes slightly. "Yes. If this Chen Mo isn't a good person, he even resorted to such despicable means to divorce Duan Yu Ting."
"People say even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs, but this Chen Mo is worse than a beast!" Tang Wan said, pulling the hands of the two little ones. "Go change your clothes, and then we'll accompany you to the hospital."
"Mom, Mu Mu can't go out yet. You stay here with them. I'll take Ying and Nan Yi with me." Lan Yuxi glanced at the time. "I'll go change and leave."
"Then hurry up and go. Come back soon."
Lan Yuxi quickly entered the house and, after changing her clothes, rushed to the hospital with Ying and Nan Yi at top speed.
As soon as she reached the door of the ward, she heard Lan Zi Xin's excited voice, "Grandpa, do you see my dad's fingers moving?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Yuxi quickly pushed open the door and walked in.
Nan Zhen Ting rubbed his eyes. "It seems like he moved a little. Xiao Ling, did you see it?"
Ling Xiao Ling smiled and nodded. When she glimpsed Lan Yuxi entering, she quickly pulled her over and said with a smile, "Yuxi, you're here at the perfect time. Your father's hand just moved!"
Lan Yuxi patted Ling Xiao Ling's hand comfortingly before walking to the bedside to take Lan Jin Song's pulse.
After a moment, she took out golden needles and pricked several acupoints. Lan Jin Song frowned as he was pricked but didn't open his eyes.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Dad, I'm Yuxi, your most beloved daughter. What are you running away from? Don't you want revenge for Mom and yourself? Chen Mo has caused our family so much harm, and you know his background best. I need your testimony."
Lan Yuxi said this with tears in her eyes and then stared intently at Lan Jin Song.
After a long while, Lan Jin Song slowly opened his eyes.
However, his eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Lan Yuxi.
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips tightly and pulled Lan Zi Xin over to show him. "You don't recognize me, but do you recognize her?"
Lan Jin Song opened his mouth and managed to squeeze out a word with difficulty, "Yun—"
Tears instantly welled up in Lan Zi Xin's eyes. "Dad, I'm not Mom, I'm your biological daughter, Zi Xin."
"Yun!" Lan Jin Song stubbornly shouted again.
Lan Zi Xin pulled Ling Xiao Ling and asked, "Then do you recognize her?"
Lan Jin Song shook his head weakly.
Nan Zhen Ting quickly walked to the bedside, pointed to his nose excitedly, "Jin Song, look at me, who am I?"
Lan Jin Song shook his head with great pain.
Lan Yuxi, with red-rimmed eyes, pulled out the golden needles and walked out with her phone. "Sixth Brother, Father Jin Song has woken up. Arrange a brain CT scan for him first."
"That's great! Father Jin Song is finally awake! How is his memory? Has it recovered?"
Lan Yuxi smiled wryly and shook her head. "It hasn't recovered. He mistook Sister Zi Xin for Mom Ling Yun. He doesn't recognize anyone except Mom Ling Yun right now."
"He must love Mom Ling Yun so much... Don't worry too much. I'll go arrange the CT scan now... No, when did you get back? How come I didn't know?"
"I just got back and came straight here." Lan Yuxi sighed and hung up the phone, then called Lan Mu Si. "Second Brother, I'm afraid you'll have to come back first."
Lan Mu Si paused. "Father Jin Song is awake?"
"Yes. But he's still in a state of amnesia. In this situation, only you and I can treat him. However, I have to return to the country the night after tomorrow."
"Then I'll fly back tomorrow, and we'll work out a plan together."
"How are you going to arrange things with Second Sister-in-law?"
"Your Second Sister-in-law will come back with me. Professor Gao's research project has been suspended, so there's nothing for your Second Sister-in-law to do here. I'll ask Professor Gao for leave and then leave."
"Then make the arrangements." Lan Yuxi hung up the phone and slumped onto the waiting chair, feeling weak.
Nan Zhen Ting walked out with red-rimmed eyes. "Yuxi, is your father's condition very serious?"
Lan Yuxi lowered her head and wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes. "We'll have to wait for the CT scan results to know. However, no matter what happens, my Second Brother and I will do our best. My father must recover his memory, otherwise, I might never find my mother in this lifetime."
