Chapter 1716: The Polar Opposites (3)
Compared to He Zhichu, Gu Nianzhi naturally trusted her father, Lu Jin, as known as Gu Xiangwen, more.
Besides, He Zhichu had a legitimate reason for saying that.
When he was in the other world, he had once tried to pin Little Nianzhi’s background on Gu Nianzhi, so that she could have a complete family history and not be found as a person who came from nowhere.
Therefore, what he told the people over there were actually the family histories of the Gu and He families in the other world.
If He Chengjian hadn’t kidnapped her and brought her back to this world, Gu Nianzhi would have really lived as Little Nianzhi.
In fact, she was the parallel existence of Little Nianzhi, so the family history was almost flawless on her.
It was the same situation as how Huo Shaoheng used Xie Ziyan’s KGB identify as his own family history when he first came to this world.
Softly, Gu Nianzhi said, “Dad, when Young Master He was in the other world, he said that his grandfather, He Shouwang, and my grandfather, Gu Haoze, were both victims of the Japanese “Genetic Enhancement Plan”.”
Lu Jin snorted, “He was putting the boot on the wrong foot.”
“I don’t know much about the Gu family and the He family in the other world, but I understand well about our history here.”
Lu Jin continued, “Our Gu family was once a prominent family in the north. Our family members had left the country even before the war began. Some left for Europe, some left for America. Almost no one stayed in the country.”
“The He family stayed in the country. Their family sacrificed a lot of lives for the rebellion.”
“Although the old He Chengjian is headstrong and opinionated, the contributions the He family has made to this country can not be erased. He Chengjian’s father, He Shouwang, was a highly respected general with great military talent. My father respected him, and I admired him.”
“That means you and General He were both, born naturally, right?” Gu Nianzhi asked awkwardly.
“Of course!” Lu Jin did not feel embarrassed at all about telling his daughter about this.
“We’re all natural and organic products, with the best quality.”
PFFT!
Gu Nianzhi could hardly hold back her laughter.
“Okay, okay, dad, I’m just checking.” Gu Nianzhi sighed and told him everything she knew about the Gu family.
She learned about the He family through Gu Haoze’s suicide note in the other world, especially on the things about He Shouwang.
However, she did not know anything about He Chengjian and He Zhichu in the other world.
She could only speculate, “If the parallel existence could never appear at the same time, then the He Zhichu on the other side must have passed away a long time ago. This explained why Young Master He was fine when he went to the other side.”
Lu Jin nodded, “That’s the only explanation. Otherwise, He Zhichu would not have come back.”
Lu Jin sighed, “But He Zhichu’s feelings for you are real. He risked his life rushing to the other side for you even without knowing if there was a parallel existence of him over there.”
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a long time. Then she said faintly, “What about you? When you sent me over, weren’t you worried that there would be a Gu Nianzhi there too?”
Lu Jin held her hand and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. After a while, he then said, “How could I send you over without knowing the situation there? Although the idea of sending you over was put forward by Boss Lu, I won’t send you to die without verifying the situation.”
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and smiled. “Then how did you verify it?”
Lu Jin seemed excited as he was going to talk about his own invention.
Full of excitements, he said, “Nianzhi, you know that everyone has their own specific magnetic field. It’s very weak, but it does exist.”
“And the magnetic fields of the two parallel existence in the parallel spaces are exactly the opposite of each other.”
“This is also why when the opposites come together to a same space, they will immediately die.”
“It’s like a collision of positive and negative particles, when they meet, the only outcome is annihilation.”
Gu Nianzhi understood this part of the story. She turned on her laptop and began to record about it. She put on a smiley face and said, “Yes, I know that. What else?”
Lu Jin stood up and walked around the living room, waving his big hands in the air.
“So after Boss Lu suggested sending you over, I thought of a way to build a human magnetic field detector that can detect and monitor the magnetic fields of the parallel existence in the other world.”
“Because the human magnetic field of the existence in the two worlds are opposite. When I have the data of your human magnetic field, I can detect if there is any magnetic field opposing to yours on the other side.”
“If the opposite magnetic field doesn’t exist, that means your parallel existence is not there.”
Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, “But there are billions of people in that world. How can you be sure that my parallel existence is not there?”
“Actually, the principle is very simple. Do you know how televisions receive images? To put it simply, television stations send signals, and television sets receive signals.”
“Applying this principle, I capture the weak magnetic field of the parallel existence just like a signal sent from a television station. Then, I receive it with my magnetic field detector through high-power quantum transmission.”
“Unfortunately, doing so requires a lot of energy. I can only focus on detecting the magnetic field of your parallel existence. I don’t have that much energy to search for someone else’s magnetic field.”
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood and asked, “Then when you searched, did you really not find my parallel existence in the other world?”
Lu Jin had a mixed expression on his face. He seemed disappointed, and then gratified.
“I detected your opposing magnetic field at the beginning and that was really disappointing as it meant that I could not send you over. But then, I found that the opposing magnetic filed was getting weaker and weaker. Soon, it has disappeared completely.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart was shaken. “What does this mean?”
“This means that the other Gu Nianzhi’s life was slipping away.” Lu Jin sighed.
“I don’t know what happened over there, but on that day, I’m very sure that the other Gu Nianzhi was dying.”
“So I’ve decided to send you over right away to prevent any more trouble.”
Gu Nianzhi was so impressed by Lu Jin’s abilities that she couldn’t help saying, “Dad, you’re amazing! But, have you thought of informing the Gu Xiangwen there? He really loved his daughter.”
Gu Nianzhi recalled the holographic image of Gu Xiangwen that she had seen in the submarine, and her eyes were tearing.
“He was also a good father who loved his daughter wholeheartedly.”
Lu Jin shook his head. “I told you, I’ve already used up a lot of energy to find your opposing magnetic field. If we go looking for the Gu Xiangwen over there, then neither of us could reach there.”
Yes, he was being selfish.
He had chosen his own daughter over someone else’s daughter in that of a life and death situation.
Gu Nianzhi understood and immediately said, “Dad, don’t feel guilty. I know it’s impossible. Her death has nothing to do with you. Don’t take my nonsense words to your heart.”
Even if Lu Jin could inform that Gu Xiangwen , would he be able to save her in time?
Who knew what had happened over there.
Gu Nianzhi was very upset about what she said, as if things were so easy.
Lu Jin looked at her and smiled.
He patted her head, and he said softly, “I understand. I don’t feel guilty. If I had to make another choice, I would still choose you. Nianzhi, dad is not a selfless person. But to me, the most important thing is my daughter’s happiness.”
However, it was a little too late for him to realize this.
He had let his daughter suffered four years of inhuman torture by Qin Yaoguang.
For just a few seconds, Lu Jin’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
He would not let go of any of those people!
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were really tearing, and her voice was almost choked with sobs.
“Dad, you have to be fine too. If anything happens to you, don’t hide it from me. I will not forgive anyone who hurts you.”
Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wiped Gu Nianzhi’s tears.
“Nianzhi, don’t cry. Dad won’t. I hasn’t seen my daughter get married, and I am still waiting to meet my little grandson.”
Thinking that he might not be able to meet his cute and chubby little grandson, Lu Jin couldn’t help feeling sad, and he started crying.
Gu Nianzhi quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe Lu Jin’s tears.
The father and daughter cried together in the living room.
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan saw that sentimental scene when they came in to call them over for dinner.
The two of them looked at each other. They were in surprise but of course no emotions were shown as they were both very calm and reserved people.
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and looked at Gu Nianzhi with a deep gaze.
Lu Yuan knocked on the wall of the living room and made a fake cough.
“Dinner is ready. You’re not crying because you’re hungry, are you?”
Lu Jin quickly grabbed a tissue to blow his nose.
“Yes, I’m just crying because I’m hungry. So what?” He said with a muffled voice.
Lu Yuan has nothing to say.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes and nose were all red. Blowing her nose with tissue, she said in a hoarse voice, “I’m very hungry too.”
And now even Huo Shaofeng has nothing to say.
Lu Jin held Gu Nianzhi’s hand and walked to the dining room straight.
Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng followed them.
Dinner for the day had already been served.
Gu Nianzhi’s favorite dish, San Xian Fried Rice, was placed in front of her as usual. There were ten other dishes on the table, indicating prayers for a perfect upcoming year.
Lu Yuan pointed at the dishes and said, “There are shrimps cooked with vermicelli and garlic, also known as the “Flowers Blooming with Wealth”. There are roasted chicken wings, bringing a meaning of “Happy Couples”. There are also stir-fried lilies with celeries and cashew nuts, which means “A Hundred Years of Harmony”.”
He added, “It’s all made by Peter.”
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a moment.
Lu Jin snorted heavily. “Okay, it’s the New Year. Don’t talk about such unhappy things.”
Lu Yuan smiled and winked at Gu Nianzhi. “Of course it’s unhappy for Mr Lu but it’s a happy thing for Gu Nianzhi.”
Gu Nianzhi was in shock.
Lu Yuan must have found out that she had already knew who was “Peter”.
