Chapter 43 She was actually his junior from elementary school.

The black and white words on the document bag felt like needles piercing his eyes.

[Gu Xingnian's Personal Profile]

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Resume:

orphan.

At six years old, she was adopted by the Jiang family. At ten years old, she went missing and lost contact with the Jiang family. At twelve years old, she arrived in Haicheng alone.

In the same year, he visited the Fu family's old residence twice, for reasons unknown.

He then wandered for three months. At the gate of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School, he helped Sheng Weiwei, a classmate who was being bullied at school.

With the help of the Sheng family, he entered the Sixth Primary School of Haicheng City and enrolled in the fifth grade.

Because of his poor foundation, he struggled with his studies and was often ostracized and bullied by his classmates.

Fu Beichen's fingers paused.

Fifth grade? She was twelve years old and only in fifth grade? And she was bullied?

He continued reading.

At the age of thirteen, he completed the sixth grade of elementary school in one year and was admitted to Haicheng No. 1 Middle School with the highest score in the city.

At the age of fifteen, after completing the first year of junior high school, he directly took the high school entrance examination and once again achieved the highest score in the city, skipping two grades to enter Haicheng No. 1 Middle School (high school). He is currently in the first year of high school.

Fu Beichen's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

No. 1 Middle School? He also attended No. 1 Middle School back then.

She actually finished junior high school in just one year? And she even got the highest score in the city?

How is that possible!

At sixteen, after completing his first year of high school, he directly took the college entrance examination and, with the highest score in his province, skipped a grade and was admitted to Royalston Institute of Technology in Country F. This is an even more brilliant genius!

Fu Beichen suddenly looked up at Lu Qinglin, who was calm and composed.

Royalston Institute of Technology? Isn't that his alma mater? He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and returned his gaze to the documents.

In the autumn of my seventeenth year, I enrolled at the Royal Institute of Technology in France, four years younger than my classmates, becoming their direct junior. I was also quite athletic, so at that time, I was already pursuing a doctorate.

She actually majored in biomedical engineering!

At the age of nineteen, she skipped a grade again, completing her second year of university and directly enrolling in her fourth year, effectively narrowing the gap between her and him to two years.

Fu Beichen's mind went blank.

Professor Frank mentioned it, seemingly with an admiring tone.

That genius girl who was known as "God N".

He's two years younger than me.

His junior sister... nineteen years old... skipped a grade...

All the clues now point to one name.

Gu Xingnian.

The woman who accompanied him through three years in the Fu family was a gentle and unassuming woman who never fought for anything.

It's actually that legendary genius girl? That academic monster who skipped six grades?

Could she be... N God, who is only two years younger than him?

absurd!

That's absurd!

Fu Beichen gripped the paper so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The paper trembled slightly at his fingertips.

He had no idea that she had such a thrilling past.

Little did they know that they had once passed each other by in the same high school and the same university.

The records state that she visited the Fu family twice when she was twelve years old.

Why?

How come he has no recollection of this at all? What was he doing at that time?

Like a curious cat, Lin Qi couldn't resist and inch closer to Fu Beichen.

He peeked over and glanced at the words on the document.

He almost jumped up on the spot after just one glance.

Holy crap!

Lin Qi quickly covered his mouth with his hand to stop himself from exclaiming. His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

Madam... is she really that amazing?

This resume is so dazzling it's blinding!

etc!

You visited the Fu family's house when you were a child? Twice? Does the owner know the woman he married when he was a child?

What's going on here?

Secrets of a wealthy family? Childhood sweethearts? Amnesia trope?

At this moment, only that question remained in Fu Beichen's mind.

Why twice?

She was twelve years old, all alone, wandering the streets. Why would she go to the Fu family's old house?

Who are we going to see? What are we going to do?

He recalled carefully that he was fourteen years old at the time, and should still be in high school, spending most of his time at school and occasionally going home on weekends.

He had no recollection of Gu Xingnian at that age.

We must go back and ask Grandpa about this. Grandpa definitely knows something.

He turned to the last page. The information ended abruptly after she entered university. The page was blank; there was nothing there.

"What about the next one?"

Fu Beichen looked up, his voice barely perceptible as he asked Lu Qinglin.

Lu Qinglin spread his hands, a professional smile on his face.

"The rest was deliberately erased. The method was very clean and professional. We can't find it for now."

He tapped the table lightly with his index finger, making a soft tapping sound.

"However, the timeline is interesting. She skipped a grade to become a senior at nineteen, so theoretically she should be in graduate school at twenty-one."

"And she married into the Fu family at the age of twenty-one. Even the school can't find her student record anymore!"

Lu Qinglin looked at Fu Beichen with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"There was a gap of two years in between."

"In the past two years, there is no information about where she went or what she did."

"And then..."

Lu Qinglin drawled out his words, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery.

"She became your wife and lived with you! As for how your married life is going..."

He paused meaningfully, then said, "This... shouldn't require me, an outsider, to investigate, right, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Beichen's thoughts were still on Gu Xingnian's amazing resume and the two blank years.

What exactly did she go through? Why was that information erased?

Who erased it? In fact, she is probably more remarkable than her resume suggests.

Because she's also a pianist, a hacker, and a billiards queen... She'll always shine!

Fu Beichen's heart felt like it was being suspended by something, hanging uncomfortably!

He picked up his phone and called that "N God" twice more, but still received no response.

It's like a stone sinking into the sea!

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said to Lu Qinglin, "What's her relationship with that Lu Lie? Why isn't it written up?"

Lu Qinglin was taken aback for a moment, then put down his coffee. "So, you wanted to catch them cheating!"

Fu Beichen's face darkened instantly, and he shouted, "I don't think this Lu Lie is as simple as he seems!"

He felt like he was a lurking beast, watching everyone from the shadows.

Lu Qinglin looked helpless. "Fine, then I'll have to charge a bit more this time! I just don't understand, how can that movie actor compare to the top student?"

She gave him a meaningful look, then said, "You're not blind, are you?"

Lynch: He was blind!

"Get lost!" Fu Beichen kicked him directly, but luckily he dodged quickly.

"Remember to pay!" Lu Qinglin turned and left tactfully, his steps quick and carrying a sense of oppression.

He opened the office door and then slammed it shut.

...

Meanwhile, Lu Lie was hiding in a dark room, his head throbbing and his eyes bloodshot.

Cheng Xinyao carefully walked in, holding a bowl in her hand containing a bowl of blue medicinal liquid.

"Senior brother, are you alright? I've brought you some medicine." She carefully entered the room, which was dark, and she practically felt her way forward.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the medicine bowl shattered. Immediately afterward, a large hand grabbed her neck.

He roared, "How many times have I told you not to come into my room, you idiot!"

"Ah! I..." Cheng Xinyao struggled desperately, feeling that she was inhaling less and less air.

...
