Qi Xingzhou felt a bit strange; he didn’t know why Jiang Ning didn’t praise him when he got the first test result, but instead became unusually excited after the second test.
However, this did not affect his happiness.
Qi Xingzhou secretly smiled, carrying a hint of pride.
He didn’t know that Jiang Ning’s heart was truly uneasy.
Jiang Ning didn’t expect Qi Xingzhou’s recognition system to be so impressive and precise!
If during the initial test on Qi Xingzhou she thought the system’s capabilities were limited due to knowing who Qi Xingzhou’s parents were and being able to find traces online, then...
But the recognition result for Fu Fangzhou matched the answer given by the system!
In Qi Xingzhou’s record, the photos of Li Manhong and Chen Jiang being interviewed in their early years were startlingly ranked first and second, with matching rates at 89% and 91%!
The system in Jiang Ning’s mind had been silently monitoring all along. Upon seeing Fu Fangzhou’s recognition result matching its own inquiry, the system was stunned and praised for the first time: [Host, your little partner is quite smart.]
It knew right away that Fu Fangzhou’s biological parents were Li Manhong and Chen Jiang because it came from the future.
Future scientific and technological levels are incomparable to the present, and this is why the system has always been satisfied with itself.
However, the host’s task partner used an AI holographic technology that clearly surpassed societal advancements.
When Jiang Ning participated in "Survive for 30 Days", the system had secretly detected Qi Xingzhou’s identity countless times. If it hadn’t found anything unusual with Qi Xingzhou, it might even suspect that he, like it, had traveled from the future.
"I’ll send Fu Fangzhou a message with this result." Jiang Ning said, lowering her head to send a message to Fu Fangzhou.
Qi Xingzhou knew what he developed, and he was sure there was no way it could go wrong.
But upon seeing Jiang Ning trust without hesitation, his gaze firmly landed on Jiang Ning, and the desire to get closer to her grew stronger.
Li Manhong and Chen Jiang are the owner and boss lady of Jianghong Electronics. Jiang Ning, being straightforward, searched for their Baidu Encyclopedia information online, then took screenshots to send to Fu Fangzhou.
And sent a message saying: "Go do a paternity test with them, and you will get the results you want."
Meanwhile, it happened to be Fu Fangzhou’s leisure time; when he heard the message alert on his phone, he picked up the phone on the table, his movements relaxed.
Upon opening WeChat, he saw it was a message from Jiang Ning.
Fu Fangzhou’s face changed immediately.
He didn’t reply to Jiang Ning right away but, with an indescribable feeling, opened the two screenshots.
He was speechless for a moment.
He felt Jiang Ning was teasing him.
Although the Fu family’s industry doesn’t involve electronics, he is aware of Jianghong Electronics.
In fact, his home and office have quite a few Jianghong Electronics products, like air conditioners and humidifiers.
He immediately sent a message to Jiang Ning: "Are you serious?"
As soon as those words were typed, Fu Fangzhou deleted them.
He directly called Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning answered quickly.
Fu Fangzhou, feeling a bit uneasy, skipped the pleasantries and asked directly, "Are you serious?"
He had never heard of the Chen family losing a child.
"Serious." Jiang Ning replied earnestly, "Do a paternity test, and you’ll get the result you want."
"How do you know this?" Fu Fangzhou couldn’t help but ask.
The class reunion was not long ago, and he had been following Jiang Ning, knowing she had been live-streaming in a small mountain village.
But one day off, and Jiang Ning knew?
"I have my channels; I can’t tell you for now," Jiang Ning’s tone was steady. "If you trust me, this is my answer."
Fu Fangzhou was silent for a while, seemingly trying to control his emotions.
After a while, he said, "I see, Jiang Ning, thank you. Let me think about it, and I’ll contact you in a few days."
"Okay," Jiang Ning responded, and they soon hung up.
Qi Xingzhou was right beside her, and even though Jiang Ning didn’t use speakerphone, he could roughly guess Fu Fangzhou’s reaction from Jiang Ning’s words.
"Will he do the paternity test?" Qi Xingzhou asked.
"I don’t know; let’s contact him in a few days and find out," Jiang Ning shook her head. With Fu Fangzhou’s response just now, it seems he’s reluctant to believe that he could be Li Manhong and Chen Jiang’s child.
But if he truly wants to find his biological parents, even a tiny bit of hope would make him consider verifying.
Jiang Ning opened the photos of Li Manhong and Chen Jiang on the screen and zoomed in.
At a closer look, Fu Fangzhou actually resembles both of them. His appearance combines the advantages of both his biological parents; at first glance, he might not seem like them, but a closer look reveals some similarities.
After all, blood is thicker than water.
If Jiang Ning were in Capital City, she might meet Fu Fangzhou in person to chat.
But she’s currently in a remote town miles away, hoping Fu Fangzhou can figure it out on his own.
Jiang Ning checked the time on her phone and said to Qi Xingzhou, "I’ll contact Director Shen and see if he’s finished; we have to return to the village."
Qi Xingzhou felt a pang of reluctance when he heard Jiang Ning was leaving.
He nodded sullenly, watching as Jiang Ning called Shen Zha.
In fact, Shen Zha had already communicated with the program team and was waiting in the car with the driver for Jiang Ning.
Knowing that Jiang Ning was with Qi Xingzhou, he hadn’t called to rush them, but upon receiving Jiang Ning’s call, Shen Zha said, "It’s long done, you ready to return to the village?"
Jiang Ning said, "Now."
Shen Zha and the driver were on the other side of Hetian Town; Jiang Ning, familiar with Hetian Town, drove herself, taking Yang Shu and Qi Xingzhou to meet up.
The town isn’t large, so they met up within a few minutes. Watching Jiang Ning’s departing back as she got out of the car, the hint of reluctance in Qi Xingzhou’s heart peaked at that moment.
He opened the car door, and before Yang Shu could even react, he quickly walked towards Jiang Ning with an air of determination, his strides full of momentum.
Jiang Ning sensed the footsteps behind her.
She turned around, seeing Qi Xingzhou catching up quickly. Before she could speak, Qi Xingzhou had already approached, carefully pulling Jiang Ning aside. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Don’t get too close to Lou Yingyan. Anything he can do, I can do better, and I’m more obedient!"
