Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 562 - 19: Siblings Recognize Each Other

Tang Xian felt somewhat nervous.

All over the world, people were marveling at the broadcasted footage from the screens of the Sanctuary Fortress.

It was footage from the eighth and ninth floors of the Sanctuary Fortress.

After today, this fortress and its lord would also become the focus of all humanity's attention.

But his nervousness wasn't about the potential encirclement by several Children of Order that might follow, nor was it about the change in the world order of the human world.

Life always has many major events, which at first glance seem like a change of dynasties or a renovation of heaven and earth. But in reality, they are still just trivial matters of daily life.

What made him nervous was that he was about to meet the only relative he had in this world.

Fortress Thirty-nine, fourth floor.

On the eighth floor, a meeting was being held to change the world system, but for the people below, it was just a lively event to provide topics for after-dinner conversations.

Shang Lu was still researching plants. The seedling of the Zudun Holy Tree seemed to have entered some strange dormant state, an event that had never happened before.

The variability of this tree was too great, just like life itself.

It was just as if the whole world was searching for Tang Xian, and then Mr. Tang Jikede showed up casually in front of Shang Lu.

When Shang Lu saw Tang Xian, he was startled, showing the exhaustion typical of someone recently married, then he pushed up his glasses and pulled Tang Xian into the laboratory, whispering,

"Xian, you're now a federal criminal, so you'd better be careful."

"When have I ever been careless?" Tang Xian's attitude towards Shang Lu was somewhat different now.

After Constantine's memories returned, his feelings for his parents deepened even further.

Therefore, his sense of belonging to his sister became even stronger.

As a result, when he scrutinized Shang Lu, he felt like he was examining a brother-in-law.

In the past, no matter how he viewed Shang Lu, he always felt satisfied. It would have been a good thing for Shang Lu to marry any woman from Hua Science Academy.

But now, he suddenly felt that Shang Lu being Zhong Xiuxiu's husband was not appealing at all.

Look at this man, sloppy, unkempt, spending all day in the plant cultivation room, and not knowing how to be more considerate or gentle even though he had a wife.

Shang Lu seemed to sense that Tang Xian's tone was a little off.

"Indeed, Xian, you've always been meticulous in your thinking. What brings you here this time?"

"Change is coming, and I plan to take you all away."

"Away? To where?"

"Baichuan City."

The fight with the Orderers hadn't come yet, but those Children of Order probably wouldn't tolerate him any longer.

Tang Xian wanted to take Ke Ye, Bu Jing, Shang Lu, Lin Jue, Qin Qian, and the others away from the Pyramid before that.

Of course, the most important person was his own sister, Zhong Xiuxiu.

Shang Lu still didn't understand.

Tang Xian didn't waste words, saying,

"It's good for you all. I'll have someone get the experimental equipment you need over there. Start packing now, take whatever you think is indispensable. We still have some time, probably a few days before I'll draw attention, but you need to leave now."

"Okay." Shang Lu always took Tang Xian's words without question.

"There's one more thing," Tang Xian suddenly said.

"What is it, Xian?"

"I need to borrow your wife for a while."

The look on Shang Lu's face was one of confusion as he knew, of course, that Xian wasn't interested in Xiuxiu.

The remark just sounded odd, and it made him feel uncomfortable to hear it.

Tang Xian walked toward the inner room.

Xiuxiu was sectioning tissue, brain tissue.

Human brain specimens were scarce, so what she was cutting now was frog brain.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

These frogs came from mining areas, a bit larger than bullfrogs, but in the mining areas, they were like lambs, non-aggressive creatures.

When she heard footsteps, Xiuxiu turned around. Seeing Tang Xian was not a surprise, and it even made her somewhat happy.

She couldn't explain the source of her joy.

Seeing Xiuxiu also made Tang Xian a bit nervous.

The medical report had made him believe that Xiuxiu was just a passerby who appeared pleasant to him.

Now, this girl was his genuine sister, someone he thought he no longer had.

During his school years, Tang Xian was eighteen when he graduated. Due to cheating in the Trial of Selection, he fell to the lower class.

Others without talents were also relegated to the lower class.

Those children who hadn't seen their parents for six years, and the scenes of them clinging and crying together when they were reunited, were something Tang Xian could never understand.

Tang Wen and Zhong Yao had already left.

Tang Wen couldn't be like other fathers and throw a cigarette over, his heart aching but his face hard, saying, "Tomorrow I'll take you mining. A man should learn how to provide for himself."

Their mother, Zhong Yao, couldn't be like other mothers, holding her child and gently stroking his cheek, and saying there was still hope in life, not to give up so easily—these kinds of lies.

He had seen these scenes many times and thought they were all deceiving themselves.

Now, upon seeing Xiuxiu, Tang Xian suddenly understood a little more. His experience as a human being seemed to become more complete.

"Your father's name is Tang Wen, and your mother is Zhong Yao. They are your birth parents."

Xiuxiu had not expected such an opening line from Tang Xian.

Nor did she expect to learn these things during the broadcast from the ninth floor of the Sanctuary Fortress, amidst all the big things happening in the world.

Her expression was quite odd as she said,

"Have you been investigating my parents these past few days?"

"No, I am your brother, my name is Tang Xian, Tang of Tang Wen. You should actually be called Tang Xiuxiu."

There must have been a gentler and more sentimental way to break such news.

But for Tang Xian, the moment was somewhat similar to when Li Xiaoyu had asked him if 'cute' meant 'adorable' or 'worthy of love'.
