Xia Wan took a deep breath and recounted in detail to her father and brother the thrilling events she had experienced after going to find the hoodlum Ah Hu, as well as the final outcome.

She specifically emphasized that Xia Shuhua was the mastermind behind all of this.

Although she had already mentioned it when she found the relevant results in the system yesterday, she felt it was still necessary to bring it up again after seeing Grandpa Xia today.

"Oh, right, Ah Hu also inadvertently revealed a person named Liu Cuilan. At the time, I found a letter in the simple house where he lived..." Xia Wan recalled the scene as she described it to her father and brother.

Upon hearing the name "Liu Cuilan," Xia Jianguo frowned and pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Liu Cuilan? There should be many people named Cuilan in our Huaihua Brigade, but I really can't think of anyone with the surname Liu right now!"

After all, living in such an era, you can hear names like Cuihua and Cuilan everywhere.

He rarely interacted with the women in the village, and with so much time having passed, his memories were inevitably somewhat hazy.

Xia Tao, who was standing to the side, shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he had no idea about it either.

He quickly went through all the families with the surname Liu in the village in his mind, but he still couldn't find a woman named Xiulan.

In the end, all one could guess was, "Perhaps it's the name of some family's daughter-in-law?"

However, they still had no clue which family's daughter-in-law she was.

This was the only possibility he could think of.

"I'm not sure, but judging from the contents of that letter, it clearly states that Liu Cuilan should join forces with Wu Zhaodi to ruin my father's reputation."

A sharp glint flashed in Xia Wan's eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, "This is simply going to put our father in an abyss of no return!"

Upon hearing this, the person beside him was stunned and asked incredulously, "What? But didn't Dad already divorce Mom a long time ago? Why would he do this?"

Xia Wan pondered to herself, never expecting this woman to be so well hidden, that even her father and brother knew nothing about her.

Thinking of this, she frowned and turned to the little system in her mind to ask, "Little system, is your so-called query function reliable?"

Actually, she had never had the chance to properly argue with the system about the two completely different search results!

The system quickly responded: "Host, please rest assured, our query function is generally error-free."

However, Xia Wan was not buying it, and sneered, asking in return, "Normally it won't make a mistake? Doesn't that mean that in some special or unusual situations, it's still possible for a mistake to occur?"

Faced with Xia Wan's questioning, the system quickly explained: "Host, please don't misunderstand. Things that have already happened are definitely accurate. However, for things that haven't happened yet, because their development involves many possibilities, the final outcome might change due to these variables."

Xia Wan nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, then pressed on, "According to what you're saying, the information I found through the system last time that the Xia family was willing to sacrifice the entire clan to avenge my father should be accurate, right? But is the recent incident involving Xia Shuhua really caused by the fact that my father is still alive?"

This is utter nonsense! No matter how things develop and change, how can a person's nature be easily altered? Is it really true, as the saying goes, that it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature?

"Hmph, does that mean that Xia Shuhua will value my father more than herself after he passed away? But if my father were still alive, would he become Xia Shuhua's enemy? Little system, have you lost your mind?"

The most crucial point is that these two people have absolutely no connection or interaction whatsoever! They are like two parallel lines that will never intersect.

At that moment, a mechanical voice responded from the air: "According to the feedback received by this system, this is indeed the case. As for the specific reasons, this system cannot provide a definitive explanation at this time."

Hearing this, the man raised his voice and questioned, "Feedback? Where did you go to provide feedback? Little system, is there some kind of vulnerability in yourself?"

However, the system calmly replied: "Host, please rest assured, I am operating perfectly normally and there are no vulnerabilities whatsoever. This system is simply relaying your question to its superiors."

These words truly surprised Xia Wan, who was standing to the side. Her eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "What? You actually have a superior?"

Then, the system replied with a hint of pride: "Of course! Our system also has a rigorous organizational structure, just like a proper company. And this system itself is undoubtedly an outstanding employee of this 'company'!"

From its melodious and rhythmic voice, one can clearly and distinctly sense a hint of pride and arrogance that is difficult to completely conceal.

This emotion is like an invisible light; even when it tries to hide in the darkness, it will still occasionally flash with dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, Xia Wan was frowning deeply, her face full of worry, and she had no extra energy or mood to pay attention to the voice emitted by the system.

Her mind was a jumbled mess, with all sorts of thoughts intertwined and tangled together.

However, amidst this chaos, one thought remained steadfastly in her mind—no matter what, she had to find that person named Liu Cuilan!

We absolutely cannot allow her and Wu Zhaodi's insidious scheme to succeed.

Xia Wan raised her head, her gaze slowly sweeping over Xia Jianguo and Xia Tao beside her, her eyes revealing unwavering determination.

She took a deep breath and said in an unusually firm tone, "Father, brother, no matter what Liu Cuilan's identity or background is, our most important task right now is to find her first."

Moreover, since this matter has not yet been properly resolved, we will be unable to return for quite some time to come.

During this period, we must remain highly vigilant and absolutely prevent Xia Shuhua from having any further opportunity to send any letters to the Huaihua Brigade.
