Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day-Chapter 297 - 260: The Identity of the Ancestor Nearly Confirmed
The same day.
It was revealed on Weibo that Lu Li is a patriarch figure.
Initially, other news and short video platforms were apprehensive and observant.
Perhaps seeing that the "Decryption Little Prince" Weibo post wasn’t censored and didn’t attract any accountability.
Immediately, numerous news and short video sites wanted to take advantage of the heat to attract traffic.
Consequently, reports about "Lu Li being a patriarch figure" sprung up like mushrooms after rain on several well-known domestic news and short video platforms.
On Weibo, Douyin, NetEase News, Tencent’s portal website, and others, almost all news sites were vying to report on it.
Precisely because the coverage was so extensive that even those who initially didn’t understand the situation now almost all knew about it.
Unprecedented heated discussion!
Many people were discussing this matter.
Why was this matter so popular?
The reason is quite simple: everyone was "suffocated" for too long.
Now, finally learning that a supreme powerhouse like a patriarch figure has emerged domestically, with deterrence far greater than nuclear weapons, everyone was naturally delighted.
You could open any news portal’s comment section and find dense comments all discussing this matter.
For instance, on Tencent’s news portal, you could click on the homepage to see related news.
The news content was broadly similar to "Decryption Little Prince’s" Weibo post, almost like a direct "transfer," just with some embellishments in writing.
The comment area below was in an uproar.
"Oh my! Is this true or fake?"
"Is Great God Lu Li really a patriarch figure?"
"This news is incredibly shocking! Even Tencent can catch such news?"
"You guys are surely behind on information, right? This news was already revealed on Weibo a few hours ago, and so far, Great God Lu Li hasn’t publicly responded, I think there’s about a seventy to eighty percent chance it’s true."
"Yes, if this were fake, Great God Lu Li would have definitely come out to clarify."
"Maybe he’s deliberately not coming out to clarify to ride the wave of traffic? And when he’s had enough traffic, he’ll come out to clarify?"
"Are you stupid? Can just any traffic be taken advantage of? If this situation happened to you, would you dare to ride this wave of traffic? Just a few days ago, the patriarch figure wiped out over ten thousand members of the Jalisco Group in Mexico, turning the entire country upside down. Not even a network influencer, not even the war wolves in movies would dare to ride this wave of traffic!"
"Hey, that seems to make sense, this kind of traffic is really hard to handle, it might bring about a great disaster."
Even though many netizens were shocked upon seeing this news for the first time, there were quite a few clear-minded individuals who immediately saw through to the crux of the matter.
That is, if Lu Li truly isn’t a patriarch figure, he wouldn’t dare to ride this wave of traffic. Coming out to clarify right away would be the best choice.
Otherwise, who could bear the burden of over ten thousand lives?
However, the fact is that Lu Li has not made any movement so far.
This undoubtedly means he’s tacitly admitting it; Lu Li is indeed the patriarch figure.
Even if he clarified, people might not necessarily believe, but not coming out to clarify is equivalent to an admission eight out of ten times.
Consequently, many netizens who initially doubted the authenticity of the Weibo revelation after waiting three to four hours without seeing Lu Li clarify, generally could confirm the "Decryption Little Prince" revelation was true.
Some curious netizens even directly found the Vox livestream account, starting to inquire about the situation under the posted videos.
"Respond, is Great God Lu Li a patriarch figure?"
"Right, Great God Lu Li is your company’s employee, you wouldn’t not know, would you?"
"It’s been a while since Great God Lu Li appeared in the livestream, could it be that he joined some major action in Mexico a while ago?"
"Fiery Baby Lady, as the host of the livestream, you should have a good relationship with Great God Lu Li, right? Please, when you see this comment, let us know, is Great God Lu Li really a patriarch figure? We really want to know, if you’re willing to tell us, I’ll frequently visit your livestream to buy high-tech home products in the future."
"This is really killing us, Vox, someone should answer the question."
"Yes, no, at most it’s two words, can’t you satisfy our curiosity a little?"
"We’re not here to cause trouble, we are all here to worship the patriarch figure, you should say something, if it’s confirmed Great God Lu Li is the patriarch figure, your livestream will definitely blow up!"
"Ahhh, answer quickly!"
"Vox, say something!"
Many netizens were pressing, causing the pinned video of Vox to surge from three to five hundred comments to tens of thousands in a moment, with the count continually increasing, seeing the trend, it wouldn’t take long for comments to exceed one hundred thousand.
But how would Vox know what the real situation is, they surely couldn’t respond.
At this moment, a Douyin blogger focusing on news commentary named "Kawashi" suddenly jumped in.
He posted a video analyzing: "The last time Great God Lu Li appeared in the Vox livestream can be traced back to mid-June, and just a few days before he stopped broadcasting, the ’bare-handed car dismantling’ event happened. Afterward, he hasn’t appeared in the public eye domestically, however, as far as I know, he later went to the Ugly Country in July to participate in the Nathan hot dog challenge, soon after he completed the contest, the Jalisco Group branch in Tijuana was attacked by a patriarch, therefore I can assert very confidently, Great God Lu Li is the patriarch. If he wasn’t, then where has he been all this time?"
Netizens all felt it made sense.
"Exactly!"
"Previously, McBao King issued a promotional video indicating that Great God Lu Li represented the company in the Nathan hot dog challenge, after which, he never appeared again, instead, the patriarch emerged suddenly."
"If Great God Lu Li is not the patriarch, why did the issue occur with Jalisco Group’s branch in Tijuana right after he participated in the Nathan hot dog challenge?"
"Unless Great God Lu Li can prove where he was after participating in the Nathan hot dog challenge, he must be the patriarch without a doubt!"
Listening to Kawashi’s analysis, netizens suddenly recalled the last time Lu Li appeared on screen, roughly in what region, what time.
Ugly Country and Mexico are neighbors, and the timing aligns perfectly, no matter how you look at it, Lu Li is surely the Ancestor Man.
Thus, the internet is almost ready to declare Lu Li as the confirmed Ancestor Man!
...
Jinling, suburbs.
The car slowly drove into an aircraft manufacturing plant.
Sitting in the backseat, Lu Li had already noticed the heated online scene.
To be honest, although the internet was almost confirming his identity as the Ancestor Man, Lu Li wasn’t worried.
Because he was confident he could "reverse the world".
The same old story, he wasn’t afraid of revealing his identity, but not now.
At the very least he would admit to being the Ancestor Man after making a global impact.
For now, Lu Li didn’t care if the internet confirmed his identity or not.
After all, he had more important things to do next.
When the car reached the parking lot.
He could see through the car window that there were already seven or eight people standing there waiting.
The car slowly came to a stop.
The seven or eight people quickly gathered around.
Among them, the leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who briskly stepped to the backseat, acting as a "doorman", reaching out to open the car door.
Perhaps he noticed that the person seated in the back wasn’t Gu Wei, he immediately showed a slightly surprised expression.
Then his gaze flickered, and instead of turning to open the front door, he directly opened the rear door, face full of smiles, saying, "This gentleman, please."
Lu Li knew right away that this middle-aged man did not know his specific identity.
The reason the man insisted on opening the rear door, more likely than not, was because he saw that someone of Gu Wei’s stature was only sitting in the front passenger seat, so he assumed Lu Li must be someone with an extremely high status, and thus "mistakenly but correctly" continued opening the rear door.
Lu Li was rather polite to people.
He got out of the car, nodding slightly, "Thank you."
The middle-aged man, a bit ingratiatingly, said, "No problem, no problem, may I ask your name?"
Lu Li didn’t have time to respond.
Gu Wei, who had already gotten out of the car, laughed and said, "Old Zhao, you have quite the keen eye, recognizing at a glance that Mr. Lu is no ordinary person."
Old Zhao was momentarily bewildered when he heard the words "Mr. Lu".
It wasn’t just him, the six or seven people standing by also showed almost the same expression.
Obviously, these people didn’t know Lu Li’s real identity.
This probably had to do with the work environment of Old Zhao and the others.
They were in a confidential unit, usually prohibited from carrying phones.
Not to mention the prohibition of carrying recording, video, photography, and information storage devices without prior approval.
The news about Lu Li being the Ancestor Man was only revealed this morning.
Before that, his identity was absolutely confidential.
So it’s completely understandable that Old Zhao and the other six or seven didn’t know.
However, even though Old Zhao didn’t know "Mr. Lu" was, his attitude didn’t falter in the slightest, his face still brimming with a smile.
He proactively extended both hands to shake Lu Li’s right hand, "Welcome, welcome Mr. Lu to our aircraft manufacturing plant."
Lu Li shook hands briefly and then discreetly withdrew his hand.
Afterwards, Old Zhao slightly bowed and shook hands with Gu Wei.
At this moment, Gu Wei introduced, "Mr. Lu is someone I specially invited to help analyze the technology of stealth bombers, you must treat him well and make sure not to offend Mr. Lu."
"No, no, we won’t."
"We’re grateful for Mr. Lu’s help in analyzing stealth bomber technology, how could we possibly offend him?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu, thank you for your work today."
Old Zhao and the other six or seven people still seemed very eager in their tone.
In fact, if you analyze carefully, you can find that their way of addressing Lu Li slightly changed, from initially calling him "you" in the formal sense to a more informal "you".
Actually, you can’t blame Old Zhao and the six or seven people for their attitude shift. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Because initially, they thought Lu Li, like Gu Wei, was a "big shot".
Perhaps even of a higher "rank" than Gu Wei.
But it turned out that Gu Wei introduced Lu Li’s identity as merely an "engineer".
Old Zhao and the other six or seven people, as "leaders", inherently felt "high and mighty", so their attitude naturally changed.
Hmm, it’s fortunate they don’t know the outside world is talking about Lu Li being the Ancestor Man, otherwise they would be scared out of their wits, not daring to show any disrespect, instead of just appearing courteous on the surface as they are now.
