Lin Yiran transmigrated to the interstellar era with her superpowers and became the real heiress of the Lin family who had been replaced by an impostor. While the fake heiress enjoyed a life of lux...
Having escaped unscathed, Lin Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, feigning composure, and walked home with an air of ease, as if admiring the scenery.
Before we knew it, dawn was approaching. There were still a few pedestrians strolling along the road, while others gathered to practice boxing, comparing their strength and skill. They exchanged ideas and laughed heartily, enjoying their time to the fullest.
They were just short of setting off fireworks to celebrate.
When flames rose in the distant night sky, they all looked up and asked, "Where is that on fire?"
The others said, "Oh, it's not our problem. We have automatic fire sensors; it will put out the fire itself. Let's keep fighting, keep fighting, and have some fun."
Lin Yiran continued walking home, but...
But then they saw two uninvited guests.
It can't really be called an uninvited guest, anyway.
They came at a very bad time.
Jin Shuo stood impatiently at the entrance of Lin Yiran's shop, pointing to his computer: "Didn't you see the message I sent you? We've been waiting outside for over half an hour, and you just won't open the door or make a sound. We've been waiting for so long!"
Lin Yiran said with a smile, "Oh, sorry, I went out for a stroll and didn't check Xingnao. I'll make you some extra xiaolongbao later, so don't be angry. Come in."
Then she said, "I'll go upstairs to take a shower and come right down to make breakfast. You guys have fun." After hearing the two of them agree, Lin Yiran went upstairs with peace of mind, and then opened her Star Brain to see the messages the two of them had sent her.
She said her business was booming yesterday and insisted that I treat her to a meal to celebrate.
Lin Yiran resigned herself to her fate and went upstairs to the second floor.
Jin Shuo and Zhou Ye below seemed completely unconcerned as Lin Yiran went upstairs. As soon as Lin Yiran went upstairs, Jin Shuo, being nosy, went up to Zhou Ye.
"She smells of blood!" was an almost certain statement.
Zhou Ye leaned away in disgust, but still honestly said, "I smelled it too, but not much."
"She was dressed in all black, so we couldn't tell whether it was her own blood or someone else's."
Jin Shuo, however, didn't seem to care: "Look at how energetic she is, you can tell she's not injured. She's probably out dealing with someone."
Speaking of who to deal with, Zhou Ye glanced back out the window. In the distance, towards the slums, the sky had been fiery red just moments before, but it was almost back to normal now, with only a faint afterglow of the fire remaining.
He patted Jin Shuo's arm, gesturing for him to look back.
Jin Shuo: "What are you doing?" As clever as he was, he immediately understood what Zhou Ye meant.
"You mean the fire just now was related to her? That can't be right. That's a slum. If there were people in the slum who had a grudge against her, she would have dealt with them long ago. Why wait until now?"
Zhou Ye: "That direction not only has slums, but also..."
Jin Shuo chimed in, "A garbage dump? Nobody lives there, so it's impossible."
"unless…………"
Jin Shuo looked at Zhou Ye.
"I remember that the orphanage of our Ninth Star System was located over there, wasn't it?"
With an incredulous expression, Jin Shuo then bit his finger, unable to figure out why for a long time.
"No, why? Why is this happening?" After struggling with the question for a long time, Jin Shuo couldn't help but complain, "This orphanage is where she grew up. Although, despite some unpleasant memories there, she didn't need to kill anyone, did she?"
"How deep must this grudge be?"
"Or perhaps she's petty?"
Jin Shuo fell into deep thought.
Zhou Ye analyzed the problem rationally: "I believe her. I think we should go through everything about the orphanage; perhaps we can find out her reasons for doing this."
Jin Shuo: "Actually, I believe her, but what if she really is just petty?"
Zhou Ye: "I told you I believe her. Instead of telling me this, why don't you think about whether anything unusual has happened at the orphanage in the past year? As far as I know, Lin Yiran was kicked out only about half a year ago."
"But according to federal law, Lin Yiran is still a minor and should be raised by an orphanage. Why was she kicked out? This is a question worth pondering."
"A year?" "A year?" Jin Shuo thought, biting his fingers.
"Special events that have occurred in the past year?" He frowned, his head practically about to explode.
Then he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I remember now!"
"In the first half of this year, a very sensational event happened in our interstellar space, which is related to an orphanage!"
Zhou Ye kicked him: "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!"
Jin Shuo: "Have you heard about the return of the Lin family's daughter?! The Lin family, one of the four great families in the first star system of the capital planet! The Lin family that controls 35% of the economic lifeline of the entire interstellar space! The Lin family whose members span the military, political, and business worlds! Their biological daughter, who has been missing for thirteen years, has been found!"
"Guess where we found it?!"
Zhou Ye frowned, wanting to give this simpleton a good whack.
Jin Shuo: "At the orphanage in our Ninth Star System! Look, the one that just caught fire!"
"Let me tell you, you have no idea what the scene was like when the Lin family came to pick them up! I was so excited! It was so impressive! A whole fleet of private H15 military-grade aircraft were lined up at both ends of the main starship. Do you even know what a main starship is?"
"The most advanced private aircraft carrier in existence! The 00, the only one of its kind in the entire galaxy, and it's a custom-made model!"
"Wow, I feel like I'd have no regrets if I could see it even once in my life. If I could drive one myself, my god, I feel like I could live another hundred years..."
Zhou Ye glanced at him with disdain, a guess forming in his mind, which made him feel somewhat heavy-hearted.
If this is true, who is behind it?
Jin Shuo, who was on the other end of the line, also snapped out of his daze. "Wait a minute, weren't we discussing why our little sister would do that?"
"Then why?"
Then his heart skipped a beat, and a guess came to mind.
"Lin Fei's surname is Lin, and Lin Yiran's surname is also Lin."
"Is it possible that the real Lin family heiress is actually... Lin Yiran?!"
He screamed in alarm, so agitated that he fell off the stool.
The robot that was kneading dough looked at him with a completely bewildered expression.
"Holy crap, what?!..." Jin Shuo was speechless. He looked at Zhou Ye and found that Zhou Ye was quite calm, but there was a hint of certainty in his calmness?
It seems so?
They were certain that Lin Yiran was the missing Lin family heiress.
Zhou Ye was indeed very certain, thinking to himself: No wonder, no wonder I felt so familiar with Lin Yiran the first time I saw her.
I see, that explains everything.
