Chapter 767 - 367: Unpleasant Reunion (Part 2)

Huaifeng was almost ready to blow a fuse and draw his sword, but seeing that unforgettable face, past memories came flooding back. Yet reason told him that Gu Ningxuan had already been caught in the cosmic chaos black hole, and his chances of survival were slimmer than the Insect Race conquering the entire Alliance tomorrow!

The future’s technologies are incredibly advanced. A mere cosmetic surgery was no big deal.

But to look this similar, that’s truly rare. It could only prove one thing from the side. He was startled for a moment, "Which hospital did you get the plastic surgery from? This skill is quite exceptional, you’d be a great fit for the Alliance Military Department..."

Gu Ning’s lip twitched, deeply understanding that the young man before him was Huaifeng in his full bearish spirit, and that cold young man earlier must undoubtedly be Huaixi. Just coming back to this plane and seeing his sons, Gu Ningxuan felt quite grateful to the damnable fate.

But why did it have to be in such a discordant atmosphere? His father’s dignity was completely shattered, both inside and out.

Gu Ningxuan’s voice was low, faintly suppressing intense emotions, "This isn’t plastic surgery; I am Gu Ningxuan, the one lost in the cosmic chaos black hole... No matter if you believe it or not, Xiao Feng, I’m back."

Huaifeng’s expression froze instantly, then he reined in all expression, becoming indifferent and calm. He looked Gu Ningxuan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, making everyone suspect that this Huaifeng might actually be Huaixi in disguise?

Meanwhile, Gu Ningxuan seemed like an offender awaiting redemption, anxiously awaiting the final verdict.

After a long time, Gu Huaifeng calmly said, "I still don’t believe it! Even if you prove it with a genetic sequence, it’s no use—as there’s a technology called biological cloning in this world. However, if I ask a few questions that you can answer precisely, I wouldn’t mind giving you a chance to explain where you’ve been all these years... Otherwise, please spend a couple of days in a cell."

On the surface, Gu Huaifeng appeared very composed, but his palms were already sweating. Clearly, there was no danger, yet he felt ten thousand times more nervous than his first time on the battlefield, or the first time he killed! He almost forgot how to operate his body correctly!

Gu Ningxuan sighed helplessly, uncertain whether to feel happy or sad about his sons’ high alertness.

Happy that the kids are so vigilant that even if they encountered traffickers, they’d probably sell the traffickers instead of being kidnapped. Sad that their first use of this alertness is towards their biological father, not even convinced with genetic sequences.

Five or six years, it’s truly a long time—long enough for two innocent little boys to transform into steadfast youths. He had missed the most pivotal transformation period in their lives. To fail as a father to this extent was indeed unique.

Even more bittersweet was that even though their personalities differed, the twins were undeniably similar in certain aspects. Or perhaps they should’ve been the same, but external cultivation and deliberate shaping put them on two entirely different developmental paths. "Alright, just ask, but try to ask questions only known to us."

Gu Huaifeng’s expression stiffened, especially upon hearing the phrase [questions only known to us], which seemed to carry the indulgent condescension of an elder’s confidence, making him feel like the ignorant junior being unreasonable! No, clearly this guy was deliberately pretending to be Gu Ningxuan, trying to make a fool of people; he was merely attempting to expose this act, how could it be unreasonable!

Huaifeng’s expression momentarily grew puffed with anger, reminding Gu Ningxuan of the silly things this child used to do in his immaturity.

To think his intellective brain was deactivated, but it was only his identity information in the interstellar network that was erased. The intellective brain’s database remained intact, containing various exclusive photos... like... playing with a bird in the nude?

Thinking about how the somewhat mature boy before him once had that kind of childhood, Gu Ningxuan found it hard not to laugh. Yet it was Gu Huaifeng, unnerved by his stare, whose tuft of hair seemed ready to puff up. "Hey, what’s with that look..."

In stark contrast to Huaifeng’s loss of composure was Gu Ningxuan’s accommodating demeanor. Although everyone else was puzzled by the scene, they still found it highly entertaining. Aware of his slip-up, Huaifeng tried hard to recover his image, even though it was already beyond repair...

He cleared his throat slightly and asked, "If you claim to be Gu Ningxuan, then do you know the name of the knife Mom has? What are the names of the two robots in our house? Who is the male idol that the family cook secretly crushes on? Before leaving, what promise did Gu Ningxuan make to brother?"

"Xiao Meng’s knife is named Xihe; it’s a beautiful knife. As for the robots, they’re Guan Changxi and the cook Su Mo. Su Mo’s idol is... well, it might be me..." At this point, someone who had endured Su Mo’s torment for over five years couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. "Before leaving, I promised Xiao Xi that if I ever came back, I would try my best to pursue his mom, but his dad..."

Alright... all the questions were answered correctly... Huaifeng’s heart slightly wavered.

Gu Ningxuan looked at the tangled brow of the person opposite and couldn’t help but say considerately, "I have some childhood photos of you here, those could somewhat prove my identity."

Unknowingly, the pitiful Huaifeng resolutely jumped into the trap. Then, when he saw that chubby-wubby kid naked, reaching up to play with a bird while beaming at the camera with drool at the corner of his mouth... he decided, regardless of whether this man was Gu Ningxuan or not, he wouldn’t forgive him!
