The bill was settled, and the two didn’t shop any more, deciding to go straight home by airship.

The first thing Cheng Lin did on returning home was to call Cheng Yi. She then gave a general account of what had happened in the restaurant earlier: "Does this matter need to be investigated?"

Cheng Lin was not one to meddle in things, but that man seemed to be bad news, which could be a very difficult problem for An Yan’s mother.

If she could help the other party solve this problem without offending her, Cheng Lin would be happy to do so.

Cheng Yi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let me handle this matter."

Cheng Lin nodded without surprise, "Okay, then I won’t meddle."

Cheng Yi was one who was always very active. He finished the conversation with his mother and immediately started his investigation.

By six o’clock in the evening, a complete investigation report had been sent to his light brain.

The findings described in detail how Li Zongyun had deceived An Mu and abandoned his wife and son to climb into the Zhu family.

It also described how Li Zongyun learned that he was An Yan’s father after abandoning his wife for so many years, and conspired with the Zhu family to set up the An family.

Cheng Yi’s face was already very gloomy by the time he finished reading this report.

He could remain calm because he knew that his little one was not the same An Yan.

But even so, he was still in a very bad mood. Even if it was not his little one who had been abandoned, he was still Li Zongyun and the Zhu family’s target.

Cheng Yi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He dialled a number after his mood had completely calmed and gave a very simple order, "I want to see the Zhu family completely disappear within three days, along with Li Zongyun."

Cheng Yi tried his best to adjust his state after hanging up the communication and took the initiative to contact An Yan.

The video communication was quickly connected and the little one appeared in his sight wearing a cute home outfit. Cheng Yi’s mood instantly improved and his voice softened, "What is Yan Yan doing?"

"I’m preparing dinner." The video was on, so it didn’t affect An Yan’s movements. He was standing in front of the cooking counter, cutting tomatoes. His movements looked serious and focused. Even his speech slowed down. "My mother hasn’t been in a good mood since she came back at noon, so I am preparing a more substantial dinner to make her happier."

Cheng Yi gazed softly at An Yan’s movements and also subconsciously slowed down his tone, "Yan Yan is so good. Auntie will be very happy. Are you making scrambled eggs with tomatoes? "

A smile appeared on An Yan’s face as he shook his head, "It’s not scrambled eggs with tomatoes; I’m trying to make a tomato and egg soup. I finished making stir-fried shredded pork with celery, mushrooms, braised pork chops, and sweet and sour pork. These dishes should be enough, right? "

"They’re enough," Cheng Yi affirmed, nodding his head with an expectant look. "Yan Yan has cooked so many delicious meals that I want to come and eat some too." 

An Yan’s eyes lit up and he smiled happily, "Great! I can fry two more dishes if you want to come."

Cheng Yi was moved by An Yan’s bright smile, but thinking of An Mu’s current situation, he could only reluctantly refuse. "It’s a pity that I’ve already had dinner."

An Yan’s eyes immediately dimmed, "In that case, I can only wait until next time to invite you for dinner."

Cheng Yi also blamed himself on seeing An Yan’s mood affected. He would not have spoken if he had known that this would happen.

He immediately changed the topic in order not to affect the little one’s mood any further and reluctantly hung up only after making him laugh.

By this time, An Yan had just finished preparing the last soup. He first put the dishes in the thermos before going to An Mu’s door and knocking on it, "Mom, come out for dinner!"

An Mu had stayed in her room ever since she came back at noon, and An Yan didn’t bother her, although he was worried.

A muffled voice soon came out of the room, "Mum is coming."

An Mu had been in a state of panic and worry the whole afternoon.

She was afraid that Li Zongyun would disturb her life again and again, or appear in front of Yan Yan and affect his studies. She was also worried that Cheng Yi’s mother might have some suspicion because of what happened at noon, which would affect the relationship between the two children.

But even with more trepidation in her heart, An Mu did not want her state to affect her son.

So she hurriedly pulled herself together on hearing her son call her out for dinner before opening the door and walking out.

An Mu felt sad on seeing the table full of dishes and her son’s smiling face, but her worries were diluted by emotion.

"Mum, quickly sit down, or the food will get cold." An Yan thoughtfully pulled out a chair for An Mu and handed her chopsticks to her.

An Mu nodded with a smile and decided to put those troubles aside for the time being. "Yan Yan should also eat quickly. Thank you for helping mom prepare such a sumptuous dinner. "

An Yan smiled and served An Mu another dish, "Mom is too polite. You used to take care of me, so I should also take care of you now that I’ve grown up."

The tip of An Mu’s nose tingled. She was afraid that her son would notice, so she hurriedly lowered her head and ate her food.

After dinner, An Yan dragged An Mu to watch a comedy movie and chatted with her for a while.

An Mu was indeed in a much better mood in the company of her son, but this good mood only lasted until early the next morning.

After sending An Yan back to college, An Mu looked at the empty living room and her mood sank once more.

She sat alone in the living room and thought a lot before finally gritting her teeth and making a decision. If Li Zongyun came looking for her again, she would call the police!

Although this might make things worse, An Mu would not allow this man to ruin Yan Yan’s life after he had ruined hers!

Her mood became much more relaxed after making this decision, and she took a special day off work to wait for Li Zongyun to contact her.

But strangely enough, Li Zongyun, who had been harassing her with messages and had even found various opportunities to have "chance encounters" with her many times before, was exceptionally calm this time. He did not contact her for the whole day.

Was it because what happened the day before had completely annoyed him? Or was he plotting something behind the scenes?

An Mu waited on the second and third days with unease, and just when she was getting increasingly suspicious that Li Zongyun was calculating and plotting something, her light brain suddenly received a push message.

[Zhu's pharmaceutical company once again caused a serious accident due to the substandard quality of their potions. After an investigation, the company’s internal management was in disarray, and a number of potions were found to have failed the test. The company has now been banned. Zhu Jian, Li Zongyun and many other senior management will face further investigation.]

An Mu didn’t have time to think about why she had suddenly received such a push message as her attention was drawn to a familiar name inside.

Li Zongyun?

Could this Li Zongyun be the one she was thinking of?

An Mu’s heart jumped. She immediately opened the virtual net and searched for the key phrase [Li Zongyun of Zhu's pharmaceutical company], and the results were quickly displayed.

The first entry was Li Zongyun’s personal information.

An Mu first looked at the photo and was relieved to confirm that this person was Li Zongyun before noticing the line on Li Zongyun’s personal information.

Li Zongyun, the general manager of Zhu’s pharmaceutical company, is also known as the son-in-law of Zhu Jian, the president of Zhu’s pharmaceutical company.

An Mu was not surprised; Li Zongyun had no scruples in abandoning her and Yan Yan, so naturally, he could manage to remarry and have a child without any burden.

What she found surprising and incomprehensible was that since Li Zongyun already had a wife and a son, and his wife was the daughter of the president of Zhu’s pharmaceutical company, why did he still come back to haunt her?

Even if Yan Yan could make money now, it should not be as lucrative as a pharmaceutical company, right?

An Mu couldn’t figure this out for a while, so she put it down for the time being.

She also put down the worry and trepidation that had been going on for days.

No wonder Li Zongyun had not come to see her in the past few days, it turned out that something had happened to Zhu’s pharmaceutical company. It seemed to be a big deal judging from the description on the push message. Atleast he won’t come to trouble her again.

With this thought, An Mu was finally relieved.

So, without An Yan’s knowledge, the incident passed by so easily.

But even so, An Yan has been very busy recently.

He was contacted by the president of the Institute of Body Potions again, saying that the experiments using the new concept were almost complete and the conclusions reached were consistent with the description of the paper.

In view that this new concept would have a significant impact on the development of the entire pharmaceutical industry, and even on the development of mankind as a whole, the Institute, decided to award An Yan a special achievement award after discussions among several institutions and departments. At the same time, include An Yan’s name among the academicians of the Institute.

To be recognised as an academician in the interstellar era, one had to meet extremely strict requirements and pass a rigorous evaluation.

Therefore, academicians who can pass the assessment often have rich experience in the industry, which also means the majority of them are not young by the time they pass the assessment.

To date, there has never been an academician under the age of 50.

And An Yan had only just come of age this year.

One could only imagine how much excitement and buzz this news will create throughout the interstellar.

But it was nothing compared to the Special Achievement Award.
