"What are you mumbling about?" Xu Tao looked at Yangyang suspiciously, becoming even more worried, so she added, "Uncle Bao will come to see you later, don't have this expression on your face, otherwise it will definitely scare your dad!"

"My dad?" Yangyang looked surprised. "Xu Tao, you know I grew up with my grandma. My dad? You haven't even seen my dad, right?"

"What's wrong with you! Don't scare me?" Upon hearing this, Xu Tao held up Yangyang's cheeks with both hands and carefully shook Yangyang's head left and right, trying to see what was wrong with her.

Yangyang irritably pulled her hands apart, "I'm really not sick, it's you who are weird!"

"We?" Xu Tao pointed at her own face and rolled her eyes, "Yangyang, stop kidding. We've been friends for so many years, how could I not know that!"

"Your father has been working as an experimental professor at W Technology. Although he doesn't spend as much time with you as your grandmother, he does take out all the time he can to spend with you."

"For a great researcher like him, he has done a great job. However, he probably won't be able to come and see you during this period. He must be very busy."

The more Xu Tao spoke, the more envious she became. "By the way, you may not know this yet. During the two days you were in a coma, W Technology held a press conference, saying that they had developed data that could be used to travel through time and space. For a time, our city went wild. This is simply a great advancement for mankind!"

"Data on time travel?" Yangyang muttered, and the doubts in her heart gradually became clear. She said to herself, "No, I am not dreaming these days. Everything is real."

"I don't know what you dreamed about, but the data proposed by W Technology has been decided to be put on the market soon. As long as you are willing to pay, everyone can make their dream come true. It's amazing."

"Great?" Yangyang did not comment on Xu Tao's point of view, "What's great about it? Everyone is immersed in a world that is not their own, and gradually they can't distinguish between reality and illusion! What's good about Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly!"

As she was talking, Tang Yuwei's face appeared in Yangyang's mind. She had to find out the truth immediately.

"Why are you suddenly sentimental again?"

Yangyang ignored Xu Tao's question and quickly got off the bed, "I'm going to W to find my dad now!"

"Hey! You? Why are you so weird?"

Yangyang quickly put on her clothes and rushed out of the ward with an attitude that even the emperor couldn't stop her.

The W Technology building is so famous. It is conceivable that she had never heard of this building before she traveled through time. Now, anyone who takes a taxi will know this place.

I think it was because of the reset that the relationship between her and her father changed.

When Yangyang arrived downstairs of the building, he was stopped by the security guard downstairs before he even got into the elevator.

"I'm looking for Professor Bao Chengqian. I'm his daughter!"

"Professor Bao is busy now, please wait downstairs for a while," the security guard said sternly.

But Yangyang is now racing against time. No matter what, she must see her father as soon as possible.

She turned around and pretended to leave, then made a feint and bypassed the security guard, then rushed straight over the access control and towards the elevator.

The security guard immediately chased after the elevator, but Yangyang was the first to press the door closing button.

As soon as she got on the elevator, Yangyang felt unusually familiar with it for some reason. She even knew which floor to press and what password to use.

Is this the memory that came with her mind after the reset?

While thinking, Yangyang got off the elevator and ran towards her memory. The moment she opened the door of the laboratory, it suddenly became clear to her. Wasn't this the scene that had appeared in her mind countless times?

There were also the voices of the experimenters, those moments of forcing himself and constantly using brain waves to interfere with his decisions, all flooded into Yangyang's mind.

Among a group of experimenters, Yangyang saw his father.

He was no longer dressed as a military king, but as a scientific researcher in a white coat.

It looked so strange and cold that it made people feel uneasy.

At this time, several security guards quickly rushed over and wanted to arrest Yangyang, "Professor Bao, your daughter..."

"You go down first!" Bao Chengqian waved his hand and persuaded several security guards to leave, then asked other people in the laboratory to leave first.

Yangyang just stood at the door of the laboratory, looking at her father and the person in the glass room opposite her father that was filled with equipment wires.

Yangyang choked out a few words from his throat, "You lied to us!"

Bao Chengqian understood Yangyang's words and said with a righteous look, "Kid, I'm doing this for the experiment, you should understand me!"

Yangyang sneered and looked at his father's cloudy eyes. "You were imprisoned in that world by Professor Xi. You couldn't get out, so you used me and asked Tang Yuwei to help you. How could you do this!"

"This is the only way!" Bao Chengqian did not show any guilt on his face. Instead, he said calmly, "Don't worry, kid. He is living well in that virtual world now."

He walked closer to Yangyang step by step. "After the reset, I quickly changed the data and helped him and the crown prince get the evidence of Xuanyi's collusion with the Rong Kingdom. We drove Xuanyi away and joined forces with the Rong Kingdom's Prince Zi'an to defeat Yuwen Bo. The crown prince also ascended the throne smoothly. Now he is the most supreme being in the Dapu Kingdom except for His Majesty."

He placed his hands on Yangyang's arms and continued to talk evasively, "Didn't he hack into that world just to kill his enemies? Now that Professor Xi, the culprit, has been left with cerebral palsy, his goal has been achieved."

"Besides, in that world, he holds such a high position, which is what anyone would want!"

Yangyang listened to his high-sounding words and didn't know whether she should be sad or thankful. She pulled his hands apart and asked, "Why don't you leave me in that world too?"

Yangyang smiled foolishly, "It's better than now, this life of neither life nor death is like a stolen life."

"How could it be stolen?" Bao Chengqian couldn't understand Yangyang's emotions. "The other string of Bodhi has always been with him. He brought you back to Jingwei, but knocked you out in the city defense camp. On the one hand, he wanted to save your life, but more importantly, he hoped that you wouldn't interfere with his next choice."

"Really? Is that really the case?" Yangyang recalled Tang Yuwei's last abnormal behavior. She couldn't believe anything his father said. She only believed in her intuition.

She asked solemnly, "What did you add to the data you gave him that allowed him to reset your and my fate, but left yourself behind?"

"Child, you are my daughter. How could I possibly harm you? If he doesn't stay, that world will be uncontrolled and could collapse at any time. So it is inevitable that he stays. Whatever happens is good for him."

"You are really scary, what about now?"

"Now, do you want to let more people enter this world, let them circulate in it forever, and eventually lose their original memories and become a real NPC?"

Yang Yang's questioning left Bao Chengqian unable to refute.

He had no way of telling Yangyang that if he hadn't left a trick in the data, making Tang Yuwei suspect that he was actually an awakened virtual character, he would probably be willing to return to the real world.

But Bao Chengqian was unwilling to take the risk. If all three of them came back, the virtual world would not be able to continue.

It is useless to reset a world that cannot continue.

To him, this experimental data was equivalent to his relatives. He could not abandon them, and he could not abandon his own daughter either. So he had no choice but to abandon Tang Yuwei.

Yangyang calmed down and said seriously, "Send me in too! Isn't that world stable now?"

"Child, you have to know that the virtual world he exists in is the original world. There will be more parallel worlds in the future, and there will be countless Tang Yuweis. You don't have to do it for him..."

Yangyang no longer had any hope in Bao Chenggan as a father due to his indifference. He was just a poor man who was obsessed with doing whatever it took to carry out his experiments.

Yangyang said solemnly, "He is not a virtual person, he is a living person, send me in, or I will make public everything you have done!"

"Child! You and he are just..."

"I said, send me in! I want to be with him, no matter what the outcome is."
