Chapter 216 Uesugi Yue
Not long after Li Muyang and his three companions sat down, the ramen chef brought over a freshly made, steaming bowl of ramen.
"Slurp~" x4
Really good!
The beef bone broth is made with real beef bones, not some fancy technology or fancy cooking methods like using evaporated milk. Considering the chef's price, it's truly great value for money!
And the skill level isn't bad either! It may not be as good as those super-talented chefs, but it's at least at a level where the chef is skilled in cooking.
"Uncle, there's a story behind your noodles!" Li Muyang teased the ramen chef with a smile, "I can sense a faint sadness in your ramen~"
The middle-aged man looked melancholy... well, with listless, dead fish eyes. He glanced at Li Muyang and thought, "Youth is truly wonderful."
I can even detect a faint sadness... I think you're suffering from D-pain!
Young people need to be moderate!
"The total is 2400 RMB." The uncle said without any mercy. Even if you say that, I won't give you a discount!
Li Muyang's lips twitched violently. This old man... well, I'll let it go since you're Erii's biological father.
Do you think I need your 2400 RMB?
To be honest, considering the prices, it is indeed very cheap!
“…Alright, leave the money here.” Li Muyang chuckled, then took out a document and placed it on the food cart’s counter, reminding him, “This document is a tip… Of course, I suggest you look at it now, otherwise I estimate that given your current situation, it won’t be easy for you to come looking for us later.”
He wanted to continue immersing himself in the beauty magazine, but he was a little bothered by Erii's gaze, so he didn't take the magazine out. The middle-aged man, who was having nothing to do, suddenly heard Li Muyang say this. He looked at the file folder in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then opened it.
He did realize that these people were not ordinary people, and that they were probably after him, but as of now, Uesugi Kotsushi was just an old man and had not yet sensed any malice.
Although I estimated that once the files in the folder were opened, I would probably face a lot of trouble, the fact that these four people had found their way here already meant that countless troubles were already on their way, didn't it?
So let's see what these four people are up to first!
Seeing that Uesugi had picked up the documents, Li Muyang chuckled and returned to his seat to continue eating his ramen. He then quietly erected a barrier, separating the group and the food cart inside to prevent others from noticing their conversation.
From the outside, everything looks the same as usual, except for the absence of a group of people and the food cart. Even passing by here is the same.
Opening the file folder and taking out the documents, Uesugi Kotetsu's previously lazy gaze suddenly sharpened as he carefully examined them. However, as time went on, his movements became increasingly sharp and efficient! His fingers gripping the documents gradually tightened, and his expression turned ferocious!
After carefully reviewing all the information, Uesugi Koshi sighed deeply, feeling a mix of self-mockery and dejection. He thought to himself, "I really didn't expect this... I can only say they're really good at making trouble!"
In-vitro fertilization? Ha! Thousands of embryos! Yet most of them end up being destroyed! What a tragedy!
Upon learning of these events, Uesugi Kotsugu was momentarily at a loss for what to do. After a long while, he slowly... and could only make the sign of the cross on his chest: "May the Lord grant them rest."
"So whose people are you?" After finishing his prayer, Uesugi Kotsushi leisurely looked at the four people who had finished eating and were waiting for his response: "Angers? Or some secret society family?"
"Don't get me wrong, this document is just a tip." Li Muyang shrugged calmly, then pointed at Erii and said, "I just brought this girl to see her biological father. There's no other purpose!"
Uesugi Koshi was taken aback and looked at Erii, whose eyes remained calm. The father and daughter stared at each other without saying a word.
Li Muyang, Bai Yuxiu, and Feng Ling'er stood quietly to the side without saying a word, waiting patiently.
After a long while, Uesugi Kotsushi finally came to his senses.
"...This isn't the place to talk. Come with me." Uesugi Yue started packing up the food cart, and seeing this, Erii silently stepped forward to help.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxiu also stepped forward to help pack their things. Li Muyang and Feng Ling'er felt embarrassed to stand there, and soon the group finished packing and followed Shangshan Yue back to his house.
Yes, the barrier has also been removed by Li Muyang, and the area has returned to normal once again.
Upon entering the room, they found it in complete disarray, with magazines, clothes, and various takeout wrappers scattered everywhere. There wasn't even room for the group to put their feet down, which made Uesugi Kotsugu, who was leading the group, feel quite embarrassed. He quickly tidied up a clean area to the side and stuffed the colorful magazines into the cabinet.
He then invited the group inside, saying, "Please sit wherever you like... cough cough, I'll go get some chairs."
He hurriedly slipped out to catch his breath.
Under Erii's watchful gaze, Uesugi Kotsushi felt immense pressure! He didn't want her to see him in this disheveled state!
Especially after learning that Erii was his daughter, Uesugi Kotetsu realized why he was hesitant to face her directly, because Erii bore the shadow of his mother.
After composing himself, Uesugi Kotsushi walked in with two cushions... only to find that the previously messy and dirty room had been completely restored to its clean and tidy state! And it looked brand new!
Furthermore, the previously empty room now has a complete set of tables and chairs, and the four people are already sitting at the table.
"...You guys did this?" Uesugi Koshi blinked. How could they have finished packing so quickly? And did he just take this cushion for nothing? By the way, how did you guys suddenly produce a set of tables and chairs out of nowhere?
Li Muyang calmly explained, "What I did was such a mess! Uncle, I remember that street over there is all under your name, right? You shouldn't be short of money! If you're too lazy to clean it up, can't you just hire a cleaner?"
He briefly pointed out where the things had been put away... Well, don't expect Li Muyang to do it himself; it was all done using angelic power! Similar to a cleaning spell.
It's definitely a useful power!
Uesugi Kotsugi looked embarrassed and awkward, but he didn't dare to say anything.
After they were seated, the atmosphere became awkward once again.
Uesugi was a little embarrassed to face Erii, and Erii was not a talkative person. If the father and daughter didn't speak, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er, who had come to join in the fun, were even less likely to speak, so only Li Muyang was left.
"Alright, alright, ask whatever you want to say. The file isn't complete, and I'm sure you have a lot of questions." Li Muyang could only be the one to break the silence.
"Mu Yang, is he really my biological father?" Erii was the first to speak. To be honest, she didn't really have much of a dislike for him. She was more curious about what kind of person her biological father, Uesugi Kotsushi, was.
The girl didn't have many other thoughts.
Li Muyang nodded firmly and affirmatively: "Absolutely no problem! I can determine blood relations!"
Having indeed made the assessment once, Li Muyang was worried about potential errors due to various butterfly effects, so he naturally wanted to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Erii believed Li Muyang's words without question and asked no further questions.
Now it was Uesugi Koshi's turn to ask: "So, children, can you tell me what has happened over the years?"
Well, to put it this way, the documents Li Muyang gave to Uesugi Yue only contained the reports of those experiments. Therefore, Uesugi Yue currently only knows that he has a few children who are alive, but he definitely has no idea how many there are, where they are, or what happened to them.
Furthermore, Li Muyang said that Erii was his child... Therefore, this uncle now mistakenly believes that the people in front of him are actually his blood relatives, but apart from Erii, the other three do not want to acknowledge him.
Erii opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment she didn't know where to begin. Seeing this, Li Muyang waved his hand and said, "Alright, let me speak. Erii doesn't know enough..."
The truth is, she just doesn't know how to say it; Erii isn't very good at expressing herself verbally.
Li Muyang was also worried that Erii's explanation might upset the old emperor, and he didn't want to ruin the old man's life! He was getting old and his heart wasn't good.
He then recounted how Erii was taken to Japan by a mad scientist and joined the Snake-Headed Eight Family.
Even with Li Muyang's reasonable explanation, Uesugi Yue was still quite angry!
Having personally experienced being treated like a horse in the fields, he knew all too well what kind of insane things the Snake Clan would do after learning of a new royal bloodline!
Not to mention that Erii is a girl!
"Can you stop overthinking this?" Li Muyang retorted, his lips twitching. "Eri is fine. She has two older brothers."
"Brother?" Uesugi Kotetsu was completely bewildered. Wait, does that mean the three of you aren't my kids?
Li Muyang's eyes widened. "No, uncle, what are you thinking? You want me to be your son?"
He glanced at Erii, then thought, "Well, son is fine, son-in-law... cough cough, no, I feel a bit guilty!" He then looked at Bai Yuxiu, "Hmm, your Dao heart is unbreakable!"
"Didn't I already say? It's just that Erii rarely gets to come out freely, so I brought her to see you, her biological father, for a visit." Li Muyang, hands on his hips and glaring at him, complained, "Can you please stop making up your own scenarios?"
"Ahem...please continue." Uesugi Kotsushi coughed lightly.
Li Muyang rolled his eyes and explained Erii's situation in the Snake-Headed Eight Families over the years.
Actually, there wasn't much to it. Apart from being monitored, having my personal freedom restricted, having my blood drawn for tests from time to time, and being constantly tricked by Herzog's people into taking a drug to "maintain blood stability," there was nothing else.
Uesugi Koshi (▼皿▼): **** Herzog!
His pronunciation was clear and accurate.
Li Muyang spoke casually, Erii remained calm, but Uesugi Yue became increasingly angry! His fists hardened without him even realizing it; if his daughter hadn't been there, he probably would have rushed out to fight Herzog right now.
