Chapter 1589 289:
The two were officially declared dead at the hands of the old monk in the temple, but since it happened while working, compensation procedures still need to be followed.These documents were mostly sent by fax, and Zheng Hua was busy handling the matter for his disciples.
"Both orphans, and they came from the same orphanage?"
Li Zhiyuan looked at their files, noticing something special.
The two must have known each other since childhood, having lived together in the orphanage for a period before each was adopted.
No wonder their relationship heated up quickly after entering a team with a teacher and they became a couple.
But could such a coincidental thing truly exist in this world?
From the perspective of those involved, it might truly be what's known as "destiny."
Li Zhiyuan saw the archived photos of Qian Ying and Wu Lan from the orphanage, faxed and somewhat blurry, but he could mentally fill in the details.
The young man's gaze slightly focused; their features were too unfortunate, conspicuously thin-faced and lonely. The documents also indicated that they were not abandoned but both parents had died and no relatives were willing to raise them.
Considering their birth dates, a rough calculation matched up.
Facial features and birth chart aren't necessarily accurate, and although Li Zhiyuan specializes in this, he isn't superstitious about it; to him, it's merely probability analysis.
The issue was that when he met Qian Ying and Wu Lan, he didn't perceive any problem with their appearances.
Comparing their childhood photos with adult ID photos, it was clear their faces had changed.
Someone had altered their life charts.
Zheng Hua returned after fetching hot water, and Li Zhiyuan, without avoiding him, continued standing by the table observing.
"Sigh, I only found out recently that little brother and sister lived in an orphanage. Truly pitiful, I didn't take proper care of them. I should have accompanied them up the mountain that day."
"Brother Zheng, don't blame yourself, nobody wants accidents to happen."
Zheng Hua, in terms of age, was much older than Li Lan. Although Li Zhiyuan calls Mr. Zhai Grandpa, Mr. Zhai and Mr. Luo are peers, so here he can only call Zheng Hua brother.
"Alright." Zheng Hua took out a cup, made himself an orange drink, then made a cup of milk powder for Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan took the milk, sipping it.
Zheng Hua lifted a bag of documents off the floor and placed it on the table, saying:
"Xiao Yuan, help me with something. I have to handle affairs regarding our siblings first, could you organize this for me? It's the teacher's resume, condense it into a brochure focusing on the engineering aspects."
"Is it for an award?"
"Not sure, the teacher asked me to organize it."
"Alright."
Generally speaking, before an official meeting, the main speaker's resume is made into a booklet for attendees. An important meeting is in two days, but the presenter is Mr. Luo and not Mr. Zhai.
Li Zhiyuan quickly skimmed through the materials, asking as he read: "Brother Zheng, do you always carry this stuff with you?"
One must admire their teacher so much to carry his resume at all times.
"No, it was mailed here a long time ago, it arrived here several days before we did."
Li Zhiyuan nodded, but soon, upon reaching a certain part of the resume, past memories flooded his mind.
These engineering projects were all overseen by Mr. Zhai.
Li Zhiyuan recalled during childhood beside Li Lan, several remarkable tomb discoveries caused Li Lan several bouts of extreme busyness.
Although Mr. Zhai's resume didn't mention what tombs were discovered or strange happenings during those times, the overlap of time and location indicated they appeared during construction.
If it's construction in Guanzhong or the Central Plains, not finding anything would be unusual, but the issue was these sites weren't historical burial grounds yet they frequently unearthed tombs that troubled Li Lan.
Was Mr. Zhai truly conducting construction, or was he using it as a pretense to find something?
Most likely it was an integration, without mutual interference.
"Organized, Brother Zheng, take a look."
"Good, yes, very good, excellent." Zheng Hua nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you, Xiao Yuan, it's late, you should go rest."
"You too, Brother Zheng, sleep early."
Departing from Zheng Hua's room down to the next level, Li Zhiyuan heard movement coming from Lin Shuyou's room. He pushed the door open and saw Tan Wenbin standing by the bed while Lin Shuyou sat cross-legged on it.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, I just arrived, saw Ah You like this, tried checking but couldn't find anything wrong, but he just won't wake up."
Lin Shuyou showed no energy fluctuations, appearing to be in meditative sleep.
Li Zhiyuan got on the bed, stood before Ah You, pried his eyelids open; mentally normal, then pressed his thumb's tip to Lin Shuyou's glabellar; physically normal.
A knuckle tapped, seemingly knocking.
Next moment, Lin Shuyou's Shuping activated, signaling a response from the child.
Li Zhiyuan nodded, Shuping vanished.
The child was normal too.
Li Zhiyuan: "Certainly isn't Ah You's problem."
But Ah You clearly had an issue.
After waiting about five more minutes, Lin Shuyou slowly awakened.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, Brother Bin, I just dreamt, in the dream I visited a solemn temple, where someone spoke to me, saying many things…"
Tan Wenbin: "What exactly did they say?"
Lin Shuyou: "Then suddenly someone behind me shouted: 'I am the Bodhisattva, don't listen to him!'"
Pausing, Lin Shuyou scratched his head sheepishly, "Then I woke up, the things I heard earlier, I've forgotten all of it, not a single word remains."
