Madam, Your Persona Has Been Exposed

Recently, everyone in the Kyoto social circle is buzzing about one thing: it is said that the long-lost daughter of the Su family, one of the four major wealthy families, has returned.

Some p...

Chapter 3 Investigating the Su Family

Back home, just in case anything went wrong, Su Ya watched her grandmother take the medicine, which was meant to be taken in one dose. Unfortunately, her grandmother was reluctant to take it. She knew that Su Ya only brought back a few pills every three months, so she knew how precious the medicine was.

Moreover, since taking this medicine, her health has improved significantly. Knowing it's definitely not a counterfeit product, I thought I'd persuade Su Ya to sell it. Su Ya never buys herself clothes; these days, which young girl doesn't like to dress up? But Su Ya's clothes, besides her school uniform, are either black or white. She doesn't look like a young girl at all.

Jia Yingjun and the others were unaware that their plans had already failed.

The courtyard is small, with only three rooms: a main room for Grandma, a kitchen, and Suya's bedroom, which is only about 20 square meters.

Suya returned to her bedroom, took out an old-fashioned black mobile phone from her backpack. It looked a bit like an old-fashioned brick phone. She fiddled with it casually, and the black phone transformed into a miniature computer. An infrared keyboard appeared on the computer after she pressed some keys.

She quickly typed a few lines of code on the keyboard. A chat application appeared on the computer desktop, but not many people recognized it. The icon was just a simple letter 'x,' but not in a font commonly used. The letter was surrounded by intricate patterns.

Su Ya tapped her finger to enter the software. There were only a few friends and a group in the software. Su Ya sent a message to one of the people.

At the headquarters of the X Alliance in the illegal zone, Yi Jiansi had just finished listening to his subordinate Jiang's report that they had won a great victory and seized a lot of new weapons. He was about to drink a glass of red wine to celebrate when he saw a message on his chat software. This person hadn't messaged him in a long time. It was as if he had disappeared.

Startled, Yi Jiansi spilled a glass of red wine all over his notebook.

Fortunately, the computer was custom-made and waterproof.

I put down my wine glass, quickly tidied up, and opened the message to see what it was.

SY: "Jackson, help me find someone."

Immediately afterwards, Su Qinghai's name was sent over.

Janes: "Boss, you didn't even check it yourself."

SY: "I'm lazy, and I don't have time."

Jane said, "You're lazy, and that's perfectly reasonable. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

SY: "Okay."

Janes knew their boss was lazy, just like the name X Alliance—only a lazy person could come up with that name.

After saying that, Su Ya cleared her usage history and logged off.

Jane wanted to continue chatting with the other person, but the profile picture had turned gray. When she tried to send another message, she was told the other person had gone offline and she couldn't receive any more messages.

This software was invented by their leader, SY. It doesn't support leaving messages; it only allows online chat. The other members are online 24/7, but only SY, their leader, is online occasionally. Or rather, he only logs into the software to contact them when there's something important to discuss.

Before joining the X Alliance, Yi Jiansi had tried to hack into their leader's computer to crack SY's firewall, but he ended up being hacked instead. Their relationship blossomed from that initial conflict, and it was after that incident that Yi Jiansi joined the X Alliance.

Suddenly, the group chat started beeping incessantly.

A tiny waist?: "Holy crap, did the boss just appear?"

Big head, small body: "So you saw it too. I thought I was seeing things."

A woman with a slender waist said, "I only saw the avatar flash, and before I could say anything, the boss's avatar went black."

The fox wagged its tail: "Am I the only one who missed out on the boss? It feels like I've lost a billion dollars."

All fat: "..."

All he had left was money: "That was the boss just now."

A woman with a slender waist asked, "What does the boss want with you?"

All they have left is money: "No comment."

A tiny waist: "..."

A woman with a tiny waist asked, "Are we still brothers?"

All they have left is money: "For the boss, I can do anything."

A tiny waist: "Beast."

All he had left was money: "You're worse than an animal."

The others couldn't help but laugh as they watched the two of them bicker again. They always ended up arguing because of their boss.

Su Ya, who had already logged off, was unaware of everything that had happened in the group because of her, and even if she had known, she wouldn't have had time to care.

The establishment of the X Alliance was an unintentional act. After the veterans joined, she became a hands-off manager, only contacting them for cases they couldn't handle.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for X Alliance to forge its own path. The mere mention of the name X Alliance was enough to strike fear into the hearts of its people.

X Alliance does both legitimate and illegitimate business, as long as the price is right.

The next day was the weekend, and Suya had a day off. At 6 a.m., Suya got up, prepared breakfast for her grandmother, and went to buy groceries for lunch.

Only then did I have time to open the software on my computer.

Jane: "Boss, you're online."

SY: "Mm"

SY: "I found the information."

Jane: "Boss, I'll send it to you right away."

You have a file waiting to be received. Suya clicked "receive," and the file was quickly transferred.

Before Janet could say another word, his profile picture turned gray again.

The group chat started beeping again.

A woman with a tiny waist: "Boss, I'm online again."

A woman with a tiny waist asked, "Boss, don't you love me anymore?"

All fat: "..."

Big head, small body: "..."

All fat: "..."

All they have left is money: "..."

After receiving the information, Su Ya carefully reviewed it. The Su family was one of the four great families of Kyoto, alongside the Ye, Tang, and Qiao families. However, due to the illness of the Su family patriarch's wife and the loss of their youngest daughter, the Su family patriarch, Su's father, lost interest in managing the family affairs, leading to its decline. Gradually, the Su family was squeezed out of the four great families by the rising Gu family, thus creating the new four great families: the Ye, Tang, Qiao, and Gu families.

It also contains details about the Su family's search for him over the years, as well as stories of being scammed. Even the Su family themselves probably don't have such detailed information.

Having already seen the information she wanted, she quickly skimmed over the rest, so Su Ya didn't see that besides her two older brothers and a younger sister who had been adopted, she also knew about the other two.

In the afternoon, Su Qingsheng arrived with his wife.

The person had just entered the house.

This time, Suya didn't wait for them to speak.

He said, "I'll go back with you. But I have some things to take care of here. I need a day to deal with them. Come pick me up at 7 a.m. the day after tomorrow."

Su Qingsheng was surprised that the task his elder brother had given him was completed so quickly. Just yesterday, Su Qingsheng had discussed with his wife that if it still didn't work, they would have to ask his elder brother to intervene personally.

"Okay, whatever you say. I'll call my older brother now and then go to your school to retrieve your records," Su Qinghai said hurriedly.

"random"

Su Ya didn't even consider that her score in the digits might make Su Qing so angry he'd faint.

Su Qingsheng quickly called his older brother to tell him the good news.

When Su Qingsheng and Su Ya went to the high school to retrieve their academic records, they saw the principal's indescribable expression and didn't understand why. But when they received the grades, they almost fainted. The grades were terrible! All single digits, consistently at the bottom of the class every month.

No matter what, the sons of the Su family all have excellent grades, as does Su Hui, the adopted daughter of the eldest brother.

Unexpectedly, Su Ya's results were quite remarkable.

"Thank goodness, it's not my daughter," Su Qingsheng said with relief.

She quickly thanked the principal and left as if someone was chasing her. It was so embarrassing.

Lin Mei had a bad first impression of Su Ya, and after seeing Su Ya's grades, she looked down on her even more. So, how could she compare to Su Hui?

Children from small towns are not only unpresentable, but also academically unsuccessful.

Suya didn't care about any of that; she wanted to say goodbye to her best friend.

At the entrance of the small supermarket—or rather, the small supermarket—Momo's family's small supermarket has expanded several times over the past few years, thanks in part to Su Ya's efforts.

Suya stood there, as if waiting for someone. After a while, a little girl about her age came out, holding two ice creams. Seeing Suya, she handed her one.

This is Suya's best friend, named Momo.

Suya looked at it and realized that the ice cream wasn't cheap; it cost 6 yuan a stick.

"Momo, you took ice cream from your family's supermarket again." Su Ya said helplessly.

"This ice cream is so expensive, the people in the town can't afford to eat it. Since no one is going to buy it anyway, we might as well eat it instead of letting it expire."

Aren't you afraid your dad will scold you?

"It's no big deal to scold them a little. Eat quickly, it's so hot, be careful you don't melt."

The two of them quietly finished their ice cream.

Now it's time to get down to business.

Then I heard Suya say to Momo.

"Momo, I've found my biological parents."
