158 Chapter - How Will She Answer?
Dusk fell.
Lou Wei walked into the living room from outside, as if he had just returned from work.
Cheng Muxue had just gone next door to say goodbye.
She was probably on her way back now.
However, her future tasks would likely not be few.
Currently, the Countermeasure Bureau already understood how the split bodies planted by the Shelter hid themselves.
As long as they investigated this point, they would surely uncover many suspects.
Cheng Muxue might travel between various cities.
It probably wouldn't be much easier than Fang Ze's work.
As for Lou Wei, he was not convenient to travel on business.
He couldn't personally capture the moles.
However, other S-Class Espers also had methods to strip Spiritual Power.
As long as their skills improved, combined with Cheng Muxue's numerical control ability, they could essentially achieve Lou Wei's regular methods.
Lou Wei looked at Xiao Jing, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Then he looked at Ye Yao's tightly closed door.
"How are your prepared remarks coming along?"
His calm words reached Xiao Jing's ears.
Xiao Jing's movements couldn't help but pause.
"How about casually mentioning it during dinner?"
It was naturally better to test Ye Yao's thoughts as early as possible.
After all, Ye Yao, once she joined the Countermeasure Bureau, would sooner or ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) later learn that there was a girl who looked very much like her outside.
The sooner they clarified her thoughts, the sooner the Countermeasure Bureau could make ample preparations.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Lou Wei nodded slightly.
This kind of thing could only be left to Xiao Jing.
It would be a bit difficult for Lou Wei to open his mouth and probe.
His way of interacting with Ye Yao had always been a bit stiff.
Even if they had played games together, the number of times they communicated was not as many as with Xiao Jing.
After a while.
Xiao Jing went to knock on Ye Yao's door.
"Come out and eat, you two little ones."
Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua quickly walked out of the room.
The first thing they saw when they came out was Lou Wei sitting at the dining table, waiting for dinner to be served.
It seemed he would also be a regular at dinner time.
"Go wash your hands and then come eat."
"Mhm mhm."
At the dining table.
The family member enjoyed dinner together harmoniously.
Ye Yao had an enormous appetite.
Xiao Jing's cooking skills were naturally much better than those of outside restaurants.
For the split body, eating out was merely to satisfy hunger.
But for the main body, eating at home was true enjoyment.
At this moment, Xiao Jing was also ready to begin her probing.
"Ye Yao, are you used to living in this home?"
Ye Yao, who was engrossed in eating, looked up at Xiao Jing.
The food in her mouth hadn't been completely swallowed yet.
【Xiao Jing wants to open a topic to probe your views on your blood relatives who are living outside.】
Is it starting?
The tense and exciting probing session?
Bring it on!
She was already prepared!
"Mhm, I really like this home, it's much better than living in the orphanage."
Xiao Jing felt a sense of relief when Ye Yao proactively mentioned the orphanage.
"It's good that you're used to it. Ye Yao, have you ever thought about your birth parents? What do you think of them?"
Xiao Jing felt a little nervous inside.
If Ye Yao was sensitive,
this kind of topic might make her unhappy.
Although Xiao Jing was confident she could comfort Ye Yao as a mother, there was still a slight risk.
But probing her thoughts was unavoidable.
Given the activity level of sequence 002,
the Countermeasure Bureau couldn't guarantee that Ye Yao wouldn't find out about her existence the next day.
The sooner they knew Ye Yao's attitude, the better.
"They didn't want me, but you do, so you are my mom and dad."
Ye Yao's emotions didn't seem to fluctuate much.
She looked as if most of her attention was drawn to the delicious food on the table.
The so-called birth parents seemed to have less appeal than the fragrant, colorful, and delicious dishes.
Xiao Jing pondered for a moment.
Her heart did not relax.
This was just the beginning.
"What if one day your birth parents come looking for you?"
"Then will you hand me over?"
Ye Yao stopped eating and stared at Xiao Jing and Lou Wei with very serious eyes.
It was as if she would throw a tantrum if they didn't give her a satisfactory answer.
"Of course not, you are our child.
They left you to live in the orphanage for so long and never came looking for you.
If they still exist, I don't think they have the right to be your parents."
Xiao Jing's answer was also very serious.
According to the intelligence department's investigation, Ye Yao lived in the orphanage for a long time.
During that period, no one ever came looking for her.
This was a legitimate orphanage.
There was no situation where children were abducted.
Even if Ye Yao ended up in that orphanage by chance,
if Ye Yao's birth parents were very anxious, they would definitely report it to the police or issue a missing person's notice.
A lost child would always be found in an orphanage first.
But after the intelligence department's investigation,
there were no missing person reports for Ye Yao in any region across the country.
There wasn't even a police record.
Ye Yao's birth parents seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Not even a shadow existed.
From this, it could be concluded that they simply didn't care about Ye Yao.
However, the situation with a certain girl who looked very similar to Ye Yao was hard to say.
sequence 002 seemed to be very concerned about Ye Yao.
It was even possible that she had been watching Ye Yao during her time in the orphanage.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to know immediately that Ye Yao was adopted by the Countermeasure Bureau.
Later, she secretly followed them and infiltrated the residential area to check on the situation.
She wasn't even afraid of Lou Wei.
She seemed to have left only after confirming that Ye Yao's living situation was good.
With this level of concern, no one would believe that she didn't care about Ye Yao.
If Ye Yao herself knew about this situation, that would be the most troublesome part.
Her thoughts were extremely important.
【Xiao Jing is preparing to introduce a hypothetical topic: what if you had an older sister.】
Ye Yao blinked, responding to the previous statement.
"That's good. As long as Mom and Dad don't actively hand me over, then I'll always be your child."
"Haha~ That sentence from you is enough. We can raise you for a lifetime."
Xiao Jing even wanted to end the conversation there.
Ye Yao's response touched her greatly.
Her maternal instincts were overflowing.
But she couldn't stop here yet.
"What if, and I mean if, you had a family member who had always been looking for you?
It could be your older sister, or your younger sister, or even an older or younger brother.
They didn't know that you were abandoned by your original parents, and they have always been looking for you, still loving you deeply.
If they wanted to take you away, to live with them, what would Ye Yao choose?"
As Xiao Jing spoke to this point, the atmosphere at the dinner table had grown somewhat quiet.
Lou Wei slowed down his movements of picking up food.
He was waiting for Ye Yao's answer.
This concerned his future attitude towards sequence 002.
Luo Jianhua, on the side, tried to zone out and not pay attention to this topic.
Otherwise, she might not be able to manage the subtle changes in her facial expression.
Because Ye Yao had told her in the room earlier.
sequence 002, the so-called birth older sister, was actually created by her.
She didn't truly exist.
Therefore, the Countermeasure Bureau was, in a sense, being played by Ye Yao.
Luo Jianhua immediately mourned for the intelligence department after finding out.
How could they find traces of someone who appeared out of thin air?
The intelligence department was going to be under immense pressure.
"Hmm..."
Ye Yao fell into thought, seemingly entering a state of dilemma.
This undoubtedly brought an invisible pressure to Xiao Jing and Lou Wei.
How would she answer?
