Si Kongchen dropped the file, then leaned against the back of his chair as he folded his arms and thought for a moment before speaking, “Hasn’t he been pursuing that woman? Was there another woman who gave him a son? Or… his son isn’t adopted too, is he?”
“That’s not possible!” Xie Longyun, who was sitting on the couch, denied that possibility, “He has a daughter already. Does he still need a surrogate mother? He treasures his six-year-old daughter, doesn’t he? In that case, he doesn’t need a surrogate mother. I don’t think that’s something he would do. It’s not like he has to have a son. That’s not necessary at all.”
The two men glanced at her. Si Kongchen stayed silent while Wei Haichao responded, “Perhaps he wants a son to carry on his duty. After all, most men want to pass on their bloodline. That’s nothing strange.”
Xie Longyun gave him a sideway glimpse, “That sounds weird. Wu Chengyue already has his eyes on a woman. Why didn’t he let the woman he likes give him a son? Why another woman? Isn’t that weird? Are you a man like that? Do you prefer another woman to give birth to your son than the woman you like?”
“He has already gotten the diaries, so there’s no chance for us to take them back,” said Si Kongchen with a peaceful look in his eyes and a bland tone, “Wu Chengyue is not stupid. He won’t give us any chance to get something so important.”
After giving the first diary to Shui Mingjun, Leng Xuantong went back to his lab. Apart from his zombie wife and son, Bao Xiaoguo and his little sister were also in that lab.
Most of the time, the zombie boy was outside the door, playing with Bao Xiaoguo. Leng Xuantong would ask the boy to go outside when he hindered the adults in the lab from doing their work. Well, the boy never listened to him anyway. Every time, he would bare his teeth and roar at his father fiercely. However, his mother would then slap on the back of his head and drive him out of the lab.
Leng Xuantong’s wife was named Qi Lansheng. She was a short-tempered, violent zombie lady who beat her son all the time.
“Shu, you’ll get hungry standing near me. Move!” Like always, Bao Xiaoguo said to the little zombie with an unfriendly tone when the boy stood before him.
