Zhan Lichuan accused El of killing his parents out of love for their mother Jiamo. El denied the claim, expressing his deep affection and explaining he would never harm her. He revealed the gene lab's origins under their grandfather, where Jiamo and Du Bo pioneered human gene modification 30 years ago but regretted the success and destroyed the findings. El described Jiamo as the kindest, smartest heir to the Hess family, sparking worries from her father and Eddie.

“My father was a domineering man. I could tell he didn’t want Jiamo surpassing him, nor did he want his daughter seizing control of the family. I alone desired this path, ensuring she could remain in the family indefinitely. I was certain that her leadership would bring the Hess family a more prosperous tomorrow.”

A brighter future? He simply craved his mother staying in the Hess family eternally.

Zhan Lichuan tightened his lips, yet refrained from pointing out his uncle's true intent.

Suddenly, El’s voice shifted, his face darkening with anger as he pressed on.

“Grandfather passed away shortly after, murdered by Eddie.”

El’s revelation stunned both Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan.

Their great-grandfather had always treated their mother with genuine kindness. He alone harbored true affection for her.

“I probed into my grandfather’s death for five years. Eddie’s a greedy and cunning sort. I stumbled upon proof of him slaying our grandfather purely by chance.

“Upon our grandfather’s demise, our father seized the role of family head, though grandfather had willed most assets to Jiamo. Fearing Jiamo might oust him, our father schemed to strip her of both position and power.”

With those words, El fixed a chilly gaze on Du Yanzheng. “You realize your father never should’ve entered the Hess family, don’t you?”

Du Yanzheng stood dumbfounded. What was that supposed to mean?

Zhan Lichuan interjected, “That’s our father.”

El swung his gaze to Zhan Lichuan, his expression softening instantly with delight. “Quite right, Ah Chuan. My apologies.”

Du Yanzheng found himself speechless yet again.

Watching his uncle favor Zhan Lichuan with warmth while icing out Du Yanzheng powerlessly, Jinqian couldn’t suppress a chuckle.

This uncle spoke to Ah Chuan like a gentle autumn breeze, but to Du Yanzheng, his words cut like frigid ice. Likely because Ah Chuan resembled their mother more, whereas Du Yanzheng mirrored their father.

El went on, “Du Bo was a renowned scientist from the Centrals, yet he never spoke of his background. We all assumed he was just an average fellow.

“Even after learning he was the Du family’s young master, Country Z’s economy lagged far behind, rendering them no threat to the Hess family.

“Many men from the Centrals idolized Jiamo, aware she’d become the next family head. They all vied to marry into the Hess family. Thus, our father had already chosen a suitor for her. Even as head, she’d bow to his commands.

“Jiamo realized our father was scheming against her, shattering her heart. Knowing the gene lab would spell disaster for humanity, she proposed stepping down as head—in return for marrying Du Bo over father’s pick.

“Our father constantly sought flaws to disqualify her, but Jiamo was flawless. How could he fault her? When she volunteered, he gleefully agreed, accepting her resignation and erasing her from the family registry.

“Father even pressed her and Du Bo to keep working at the gene lab, but they declined. Having seized all her assets and struck her name, he stopped compelling her to serve the Hess family.”
