Is it her unknown, long-lost younger sister? Or... some possibility she didn't want to think about?
However, she simply couldn't penetrate Lu Mingfei's inner circle using ordinary methods.
How to do?
She used her ability—profiling.
With a light touch of her fingertips, her consciousness sank in. She tried to outline Lu Mingfei's possible next move.
The threads of thought spread and collided in the void, eventually outlining a clear picture.
As it turned out, it matched her profile remarkably: Lu Mingfei indeed left Genji Heavy Industries quietly with the other girls.
The breakthrough has been found.
Rather than directly approaching the highly vigilant Lu Mingfei himself, it would be better to... target Erii.
With their strikingly similar appearances, Erii would inevitably become the center of attention for Lu Mingfei and his group whenever they got close!
At this moment, the Russian girl's sharp and accurate remarks further confirmed her guess.
She was already on the other party's "hunting" list.
As for the purpose? It goes without saying.
What they probably wanted to know was the story of the Chen family behind her.
Chen Motong pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts, his brows furrowed:
"Since you've investigated me so thoroughly, you probably even know what color I'm wearing today... why are you specifically asking me about the Chen family?"
"The information on the internet is a mix of truth and falsehood; who can believe it all?" Su Enxi chimed in casually from the side.
"Then everything I say must be true?" Chen Motong was even more puzzled.
“You can rest assured about that,” Mai’s voice carried a hint of playful coldness. “Our boss happens to be able to ‘read minds.’ Whether you’re lying or not, he knows perfectly well.”
Chen Motong's gaze instantly fixed on Lu Mingfei's face.
Mind reading? !
real or fake? !
A chill instantly crept up her spine.
If this is true, wouldn't that mean...?
From the moment they met, she had no secrets from this man.
“Don’t worry, Miss Chen,” Su Enxi said, observing the situation. “Our boss is a gentleman and wouldn’t pry into a girl’s thoughts.”
"Oh? So you can just read a boy's mind like that?" Chen Motong blurted out, her sharp retort carrying a hint of being offended.
Lu Mingfei's forehead seemed to crease with three invisible black lines, and he quickly retorted, "Who wants to read a man's mind? Don't slander me!"
Just then, Mai Shude's icy voice pierced through again, carrying a chillingly easy suggestion:
"Boss, why go through all this trouble? Don't you have that ability to 'change people's hearts'? Just use it on this Miss Chen, make her obediently become your little dog, spill everything she knows, and after you've finished questioning her, change it back... Wouldn't that be easier?"
"No! I'll talk! I'll say anything!" Before Jiu De Mai could finish speaking, Chen Mo Tong's scream had already escaped his lips, his voice even trembling slightly.
She was really scared.
The woman's proposal was too shocking. She had no doubt that Lu Mingfei possessed such an ability, and was even more afraid that he would actually be "convinced" by this crazy woman's words.
Chapter 166 Origin
A smirk appeared on Mai's lips.
Done! The thing a woman like Chen Motong fears most is having her mind manipulated.
So with a little bit of verbal skill, you can make her obedient.
Easy to master!
Chen Motong sighed and recounted what she knew in detail:
"First of all, I have to make it clear that my dad is not like Zeus in Greek mythology, who left his seed everywhere."
Lu Mingfei nodded, signaling her to continue.
Chen Motong continued speaking:
"He didn't have that many wives; he just felt that his dragon bloodline was precious and needed to be passed on to more people."
"Moreover, he was very successful. He had many businesses and needed many successors to manage them. So he invested in many different medical institutions, found women who were willing to be surrogate mothers, paid them money, performed artificial insemination on them, and had them give birth to his children. After the children were born, he would take them away, and the mothers would never be able to see the children they gave birth to."
“Then those with average bloodlines and aptitude are given to the orphanage invested in by the family to raise, while those with excellent aptitude are raised by him personally.”
Chen Motong recalled, “So I never met my mother when I was a child, but I have a very large family. I know as many as 54 brothers and sisters.”
“We lived together on a large estate. Before starting primary school, most of us had already completed most of the primary school curriculum. The best of us could even speak several foreign languages and were far more physically capable than our peers.”
"My father is very busy with his business, but he still insists on coming to the manor every weekend to reward the outstanding children."
"Later, we were assigned to colleges around the world to study and receive the best education."
“Your father has grand ambitions!” Lu Mingfei suddenly interjected.
Chen Motong nodded upon hearing this: "Indeed, as you said, my father wanted us heirs to infiltrate the cultural circles of various countries."
"So, where do you stand among your siblings?" Lu Mingfei asked again.
“I’ve always been number one,” Chen Motong said. “But I don’t have any special word magic abilities. However, I learn everything very quickly, and the other children are no match for me. Therefore, I was also favored by my father, and I was very proud of that at the time.”
"Have you ever thought about why you've gotten so far ahead of your brothers and sisters?" Lu Mingfei interjected again.
“I hadn’t thought of it before,” Chen Motong said, looking at Erii, “but now this idea has sprung up like mushrooms after rain.”
"Do you know my true background?" Chen Motong looked at Lu Mingfei.
“There are some clues, but not many.” Lu Mingfei tapped his fingers on the table. “But you may not be your father’s biological daughter, and even if you are, it’s probably not a pure one.”
"Why?" Chen Motong asked coldly.
"You said that your father used artificial insemination to have other women give birth to you, is that right?" Lu Mingfei asked.
“That’s right!” Chen Motong said.
“This is the evidence!” Lu Mingfei said.
Chen Motong noticed that the expressions of the other people were almost identical to those of Lu Mingfei.
In other words, they all agree with Lu Mingfei's viewpoint.
“You have clues that I don’t know about, so I can assume that’s the case!” Chen Motong’s gaze swept over the others.
“Ms. Chen, please continue. I will explain after you finish!” Lu Mingfei said.
Suppressing her doubts, Chen Motong continued, "As I mentioned before, we are scattered around the world to study, but we will return to the manor during the summer vacation."
“One summer, a woman came to live near our manor. Later I learned that she was my mother, but she was sick and died not long after!”
“I haven’t gone back for summer vacation since then, like now, I’ve come to Japan.”
"Do you have any siblings with special abilities?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Chen Motong was silent for a moment before speaking: "There is a younger brother, who is known as 'Key'."
"The key?" Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.
Chen Motong nodded:
"Yes, he has a special ability to open any door in the world, so he is called the key."
"Do you have any other information about the family?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"No!" Chen Motong shook his head. "I haven't been back for years, so I don't know much about it!"
Lu Mingfei nodded and said calmly:
"Alright, now that you've finished speaking, Ms. Chen, I'll clear up your doubts!"
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know Herzog?"
“I know, the Snake Clan was mentioned in their report,” Chen Motong said.
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and said, "Herzog was originally Russian, or more precisely, Soviet."
"He was once commissioned to study dragons in a place called Black Swan Harbor, where he created three supreme masterpieces."
"They are Erii, Genjiro, and Genjiro of the Demon Clan."
"As you can see, both Erii and Genji have incredibly high bloodlines, making them royalty among mixed-race individuals."
"And they are all embryos created by Herzog, conceived through artificial insemination, and born from their mothers."
"And your origins are very likely from Black Swan Harbor, where your mother gave birth to you through your father's hands."
"Or perhaps, your father used Herzog's technology to create an embryo that was yours, which led to your mother giving birth to you."
"You mean... Black Swan Harbor, which was also invested in by my father?" Chen Motong keenly grasped the key point.
“It’s possible, but it’s also possible… that’s not the case.” Lu Mingfei said calmly.
Chen Motong frowned.
Lu Mingfei explained, "Black Swan Port was a dragon research base invested and established by the Soviet government at the time. Its core objective was to create super soldiers. Given your father's status, it would be difficult for him to directly 'invest' in such a national-level project."
“However,” he changed the subject, “even if direct investment is not possible, there are still other ways to operate. For example—sending his genetic sample to Port Black Swan.”
“Then, Herzog used his genes to fuse with dragon genes…and created you.” Lu Mingfei’s voice carried a hint of cold insight. “However, your bloodline stability or potential did not reach the level of Erii and the others…therefore, Herzog did not regard you as a 'masterpiece' worthy of attention.”
“But that’s just one theory.” Lu Mingfei turned to look at Erii. “There’s another possibility: your genes all come from the dragon race.”
"This also explains why you stand out so much among your siblings, and why Erii and the others have such high bloodlines."
Chen Motong opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Although Lu Mingfei's deduction is missing a lot of important evidence.
But it makes perfect sense.
Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why she and Erii look so alike.
