At first, he thought this person was sent by Xuan Chi, but the other person just stood there watching him every day with a strange and complicated expression, and didn't seem to be there to cause trouble.

Director Zhang also noticed this and joked, "If he didn't look like you, I would have thought your long-lost father had come to visit."

Yi Shuihan: "..."

Even if his father wanted to find him, he couldn't break through the dimensional barrier.

He ignored it.

If the other party needs to contact him, they will definitely explain things clearly to him.

After several days, the other party finally approached him and asked, "Could I take up a little of your time?"

Yi Shuihan nodded.

The two then went to a coffee shop and sat down.

The man handed over a business card: "I am Tao Zhu, the butler of the Yi family. People usually call me Uncle Tao."

Yi Shi?

Yi Shuihan was slightly surprised.

"Is it the Yi family of the Yi Group?"

Butler Tao nodded: "Yes."

"What do you need me for?"

Butler Tao asked, "Have you heard about the situation of our Yi family?"

Yi Shuihan chuckled: "I'm afraid everyone knows that."

The head of the Yi family, Old Master Yi, was a legendary figure. He made his fortune through shipping, and more than half of the cargo ships at sea belonged to the Yi family.

Yi also controls more than 80 ports worldwide, including the top ten.

In addition to freight and ports, Yi has invested in numerous companies in both traditional and new energy industries.

It owns several leading companies in the new energy industry, such as Tianma Times, which specializes in battery manufacturing.

There are countless unicorn companies that have received sporadic investments.

Although Mr. Yi has never been on the list of the world's richest people, some people say that the combined wealth of the top ten richest people on the list is not even half of his.

No one knows exactly how rich the Yi family is, but whenever people mention top-tier wealthy families, the Yi family is the first one that comes to mind.

Although the Yi family was extremely wealthy, their fate was still regrettable.

Mr. Yi's wife passed away early, leaving him with only one son.

When his son was over thirty and about to take over the Yi family business, he and his wife and children took a private plane to an island for a trip. They encountered a small tornado, the plane crashed into the sea, and everyone on board died.

The child's body was not recovered, but under those circumstances, no one would have thought a three-year-old child could have survived.

Mr. Yi thus became childless.

This blow severely damaged his business, leading him to cut all of Yi's miscellaneous businesses, leaving only the most profitable freight, dock, and energy sectors.

With no one to inherit the vast fortune, they had to choose an heir from a collateral branch.

It has left countless people sighing with regret.

Butler Tao nodded and continued, "Do you know that you look a lot like our lady?"

Yi Shuihan was stunned.

He had never met the deceased Mrs. Yi, so how could he know whether he looked like her or not?

Butler Tao took out his phone and showed him a photo.

That's a family photo of Grandpa Yi, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.

Yi Shuihan froze after just one glance.

The middle-aged couple in the photo looked exactly like his parents.

“It looks very similar, doesn’t it?” the butler laughed. “I was also shocked when I saw the promotional photos for your movie online.”

Yi Shuihan's appearance and the simulated image of the young master he had someone use a program to create were exactly the same, like a copy and paste.

So he couldn't help but come looking for him.

But apart from the movies and TV series that Yi Shuihan has acted in and the TV series that he is currently filming, as well as his status as the prospective son-in-law of the Xiao family, he could not find any more information about him.

We don't know where he grew up, who his parents are, or what kind of education he received.

Although the place where the gentleman and lady fell into the sea was very close to the islands of the Flower Kingdom, he had gone to those islands to investigate and found that no one had seen Yi Shuihan.

He probably didn't grow up in those places.

Finding out whether he has a relationship with the old man is simple: just have the housekeeping staff take a few strands of his hair for DNA testing.

But Yi Shuihan happened to have the surname Yi, which made him have to be extra careful.

Over the past twenty years, countless people have impersonated the young master, using all sorts of methods. He has even seen several who have attempted to use DNA verification to pass off their fakes as genuine.

It's easy to tamper with the verification code taken from the guest room.

Only by personally taking a blood sample for verification can we ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The old man is getting on in years and his health is not good, so he can't handle too much emotional fluctuation.

Yi Shuihan didn't know if this was an identity arranged for him by the Heavenly Dao as a reward. After considering it for a moment, he made up a background for himself.

“I was raised by the Xiao family. Before I got engaged to Miss Xiao, I never showed my face in public. I have no memories of my childhood and don’t know who my parents are.”

Butler Tao frowned: "Why won't the Xiao family let you receive an education?"

“I don’t like going to school, so they hired a tutor for me.”

That makes sense.

But where did the Xiao family find him? Why haven't they made it public after adopting him for so many years? Do they have ulterior motives?

As Butler Tao pondered the matter, his thoughts began to drift towards conspiracy theories.

However, it's never too late to learn about these things gradually.

The most urgent task is to verify Yi Shuihan's identity.

"Could you provide me with a blood sample and a hair sample?"

"sure."

Yi Shuihan was quite generous in letting Butler Tao draw a vial of blood and cut a lock of hair.

Butler Tao solemnly put the items into the refrigerator, and then asked Yi Shuihan for his contact information.

"I'll contact you again in a couple of days when the test results are in."

After returning to his room, Yi Shuihan told Xiao Qingyin about it.

Xiao Qingyin was extremely shocked.

"If this is true, then God is really spoiling you."

Yi Shuihan chuckled: "It could also be a coincidence."

But Xiao Qingyin felt that such a coincidence was unlikely, and it was probably true.

"Looks like you're going to have a grandfather."

Yi Shuihan's grandfather lived far away in Jiangnan. He only saw him a few times before his grandfather passed away, and he never experienced the bond between grandfather and grandson.

Is this also a form of compensation?

He smiled and shook his head, suppressing the thought.

It's best not to think about anything until the verification results are available.

...

Ni Yan had been eagerly anticipating this day, and it finally arrived that Grandpa Yi would set off for Huaguo.

He led a group of people to the airport early in the morning to wait for him.

Several other candidates also arrived.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they went their separate ways.

For well-known reasons, Mr. Yi did not travel by private jet, but instead chartered an airline flight.

They had already checked the flight's arrival time early in the morning; it was 10:00 AM.

But they waited until noon, and the plane still hadn't arrived.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that the old man had made a stopover in City A before flying to City H.

Everyone was completely baffled.

"What would someone from outside H City be doing? I haven't heard of any candidates from H City."

"The old man doesn't have many friends in H City, does he?"

"What do we do now? Wait here or go to H City?"

While they were still discussing it, Ni Yan booked a flight to H City.
