A Tool to Be Used

Yu Yao was a calculating man, willing to even sacrifice his own daughter for his goals.

Yu Ying’s deep involvement had nothing to do with Lu Hang; it was Yu Yao who had constantly influenced her, making her see Lu Hang’s excellence, transforming her pride into infatuation until she was completely consumed by it.

Even now, he had no intention of saving his daughter. Instead, he exploited her as a tool to achieve his own ends.

If Yu Yao had wanted to save Yu Ying, it would have been simple. After all, nothing had happened yet. He could have just used his connections to get her out of the military. That way, even if she was unwilling, she’d be barred from returning, and over time, she would have given up.

But Yu Yao didn’t do that. He wanted to use his daughter to the maximum, thinking it would be best if she could marry Lu Hang. If not, it wouldn’t matter—as long as he could undermine the relationship between Lu Hang and Lin Nannan and make Lin Nannan leave the base. Once he had her whereabouts, everything would fall into place.

After pondering for a long time and considering all his options, he stood up and went to his study, where he placed a call...

“Yes, Lin Nannan is back. From what my daughter said, she must have achieved a lot in her research over the past two years. Her sudden return clearly means she’s succeeded, though it’s unclear exactly what she’s been working on...”

Whatever was said on the other end of the line, he responded with a serious tone, assuring, “Don’t worry, I will find a way to make Lin Nannan leave the base!”

His task now was to ensure Lin Nannan left the base alive. Everything else was no longer his concern.

That night, many people lay awake, but it didn’t affect Lin Nannan’s sleep in the slightest.

Holding her daughter, she slept soundly in familiar surroundings, enjoying a peaceful night’s rest.

Compared to her previous sleepless nights, she now felt completely at ease. There were no stressful data, no devastating failed experiments, and no threats to her and her daughter’s safety. She slept exceptionally well.

Having food to eat and a safe place to sleep was the best she could ask for, as far as Lin Nannan was concerned.

Another beautiful day lifted Lin Nannan’s spirits even more.

Compared to the harsh conditions she had endured before, this place was a vast improvement.

“Du Du, how about I take you to play in the mountains?” Lin Nannan, remembering that her daughter had never had the chance to explore the mountains with her, suddenly felt inspired to let her experience the sounds of birds and the sight of rabbits darting about...

Lu Dudu, while brushing her teeth, unconditionally supported her mother’s idea. “Sure, but what should we prepare?”

Lin Nannan thought for a moment and said, “Food and drinks!”

After all, they couldn’t afford to miss a single meal.

Having been pampered by Chef Ma’s meals, Lu Dudu had developed high standards for food. But she had also been taught never to waste any food. Even though she found many things at the base hard to get used to, she persevered. So, she had no objections to her mother’s suggestion.

As her mother often said, as long as there was food to eat, they were happy—especially since her mother could distinguish the five grains but couldn’t cook to save her life.

Well, that was her mother’s only flaw, and Lu Dudu had gladly accepted it, since her mother had never let her go hungry.

At first, she didn’t understand why her mother always said she was fortunate. But on their way to the base, she had seen so many people suffering from hunger that she finally realized how lucky she was to have never gone hungry. Because of this, she dared not be picky about food.

After making their decision, the mother and daughter changed clothes and headed to the cafeteria.

This time, they not only ate there but also packed some food to take along. After all, Lu Hang could afford it, and Lin Nannan felt no guilt about waiting for him to return and foot the bill...
