The cosmos was in turmoil, the Angel Legions searching for Ziye, the Wolf's Den Legion also hunting Ziye, and even the Tang Clan was after her. Tang Wen even called upon the Teutonic Mercenary Corps to join the search.

Yet, no one noticed that one person had quietly journeyed to Ziye's original homeworld: Feilv Star. That person was Tang Wen's mother, Madam Tang!

After failing to persuade her son to give up Ziye, Madam Tang departed alone, intending to have an intimate meeting with Ziye. Before that encounter, she first investigated Ziye's identity and background.

The obtainable information on Ziye was only what Little Sprout had fabricated—crystal clear and completely transparent. Having been in the Tang Clan for so many years, Madam Tang deeply understood the implications of official records. She simply could not believe that someone whose family background was so simple could self-study and successfully gain admission to Lingsi University. Because of this, she specifically sought out Bran. Bran dared not say much, merely stating, "I heard she is Mr. Tangshan's final disciple." Madam Tang was instantly startled. Tangshan had been missing for over a decade, and Ziye was only a teenager. If Ziye were not falsely claiming to be Tangshan's disciple, there had to be a secret. Madam Tang was extremely cautious about the choice of a future partner for Tang Wen, so she temporarily abandoned the idea of direct contact with Ziye, opting instead to investigate her true background. It had to be said that Ziye's background was concealed flawlessly; even deploying the Tang Clan's powerful information network could not uncover any secrets, because the planet mentioned in Ziye's file had been destroyed in an explosion, and no one knew how many survivors there were, if any.

Tang Wen summarily discarded those so-called superior search techniques and directly ordered a carpet search across the entire galaxy for Ziye’s facial features, name, and DNA. This search took over ten days. Just as they were preparing to give up, they unexpectedly found a female student with the same name on Feilv Star from several years prior! That student’s DNA was completely different from Ziye’s, but their facial features were strikingly similar. In space, a case of mistaken identity was the most unforgivable offense, bar none. No matter how much cosmetic surgery a natural person underwent, they would not look this alike, especially since Ziye’s face was not of a super-beauty standard, making mutual imitation unlikely. Moreover, that student had died in an accident a few years ago. Madam Tang felt she was finally touching the edge of the truth. Thus, she took her bodyguards and traveled grandly to Feilv Star.

The subsequent investigation was not difficult. Ziye had not intentionally concealed that portion of her data. For someone already presumed "dead," there was simply no need to cover one's tracks. Madam Tang spent two days on Feilv Star and uncovered Ziye's entire background, even tracing her parents, whom Ziye herself never knew existed. When she saw the name listed for Ziye's biological father, she felt completely unwell. Her bodyguard noticed her distress—her hands and legs were trembling—and quickly asked, "What is wrong?" Madam Tang gripped the armrest of the sofa tightly, her rosy face draining of all color, her lips quivering, "Where is my son? Where is my son?" The bodyguard bowed respectfully, "The Young Master finished purging the remnants of Tangnada two days ago and had Designer Tang En re-assume control of the strategic weapon design department. He should be vacationing on Kacher Star these past two days." The vacation was a pretext; in reality, he was avoiding the fighting. Tang Wen disliked war; everything was a chaotic mess. Ordinary interstellar buses were frequently hit by stray fire, let alone anything else. During this period, the best course of action was to hide on a small planet untouched by the conflict and enjoy a leisurely vacation. After all, the Tang Clan was not involved in the war. The Tang Clan was merely profiting from it. Madam Tang trembled as she said, "Dial my son's number. I need to see him, immediately!" The bodyguard opened the super-communication screen for Madam Tang, dialed the number, and presented the screen before her. Madam Tang’s tears immediately streamed down as she saw Tang Wen’s face, "Son." Tang Wen had never seen his mother so distraught and was startled, "Mom, what happened?" Madam Tang, covered in tears, could say nothing more than, "Oh, my son!" Tang Wen didn't know what had occurred, but he sensed the gravity of the situation and dared not end the communication, saying, "I'm coming over right now." Madam Tang cried for a while, finally stabilizing her emotions. Seeing Ziye's file laid out before her caused another pang in her heart, and she turned to rest in the hotel suite. She hadn't rested long when she belatedly remembered that the distance from Kacher Star to Feilv Star was quite far. Feilv Star belonged to the Fiya family and was currently affected by the war, making it unstable. If Tang Wen rushed over and encountered any mishap—any unforeseen trouble—she would lose her only hope. Madam Tang grew increasingly frightened and hastily contacted Tang Wen via super-comm. Tang Wen answered the super-comm with a smile, "Mom, I'm already in the hotel lobby. Give me three minutes." Hearing this, Madam Tang clutched the communication screen and ran upstairs. The landing pad was set up on the top floor of the hotel, and the lobby was also upstairs. As she reached the elevator, the doors opened, and Tang Wen stepped out. Seeing her dressed like a woman in her twenties, pale-faced and anxious, with tear streaks still visible, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh and reach out to pull her into his embrace, "Mom, who made you unhappy?" That single sentence struck the deepest chord of Madam Tang's sorrow, and she collapsed into his arms, weeping uncontrollably once more. Tang Wen quietly stood by her as she cried. Bran emerged from the elevator, saw the scene, and positioned himself not too close, yet not too far behind Tang Wen, keeping them company. After crying for a long time, Madam Tang finally calmed her emotions. She gripped Tang Wen's collar, saying, "Son, Mommy only has you left. You cannot abandon Mommy." Tang Wen murmured softly, "I won't." Madam Tang used his collar to wipe away her tears; both her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Just as she was about to speak of Ziye’s origins, she suddenly remembered that discussing such matters outside was inappropriate. She pulled Tang Wen with her, rushing back into the hotel room, dismissing all bodyguards, and whispered, "Wenwen, tell Mommy the truth, have you and Ziye slept together?" Tang Wen was stunned. She had been crying her eyes out, only to discover it was because she suspected he and Ziye had slept together? He gently placed his hand on Madam Tang's head and soothed, "No, we haven't reached that stage. She doesn't like me." Madam Tang let out a sigh of relief, "That's good, you haven't. It's good you two aren't together." Tang Wen twitched at the corner of his eye, "Why don't you like me being with her?" Madam Tang seemed not to hear his question. She threw herself into his embrace again, crying, "Oh, son, your father abandoned us both! Your father, he... he had an affair!" Huh?? The topic had jumped too fast. One moment she was worried about him sleeping with Ziye, the next she was crying about his father's infidelity. What did this have to do with her coming all the way to Feilv Star? Tang Wen was an exceptionally sharp person; he suddenly grasped the crux of both issues but dared not consider the implications further. If it were true, it would be terrifying. He stammered, "Mom, are you saying...?" -RS
