"Second Brother, I think Mingyue makes a lot of sense." Zhu Ning said with a serious expression. "If it weren't for the fact that Chaochao is too sick for you to tell us the truth, I really wouldn't be able to imagine why you would keep it from us."

"Ha—" Shi Jing suddenly gasped. He guessed what Zhu Mingyue was planning, so he played along, feigning extreme fear, and said in a trembling voice, "There's only this possibility... If Chaochao's condition were good, then there would be absolutely no reason for Big Brother to hide it from you. You are Chaochao's older brother and sister; you should be the most concerned about Chaochao's illness. Big Brother is hiding Chaochao's condition at this time because Chaochao is too sick for him to know!"

“No wonder…no wonder he absolutely refused when I said I wanted to go to Germany to see Brother Chaochao!” Jiang Jingwen chimed in immediately.

Li Weiwan nodded: "Something unusual must be going on. President Zhu's sudden hiding of Chaochao must be related to Chaochao's illness."

"What should we do?!" Zhu Ning suddenly stood up from the sofa, her face pale with anxiety. "If Chaochao's illness is really that serious, how can we, her older brothers and sisters, just sit at home with a clear conscience?"

“That’s right,” Zhu Mingyue chimed in. “We are also Chaochao’s family. No matter how serious Chaochao’s illness is, we have the right to know as soon as possible!”

"Besides, Chaochao has always been timid. She must be terrified to be receiving treatment alone in Germany. We should go and keep her company!"

“That’s right, we should stay with her!” Zhu Ning’s thoughts were completely led by Zhu Mingyue. He was now almost certain that Zhu Jinzhao’s illness was very serious, and he had made up his mind to go to Germany to find her.

"Second Brother." He looked down at Zhu Qian and said urgently, "Chaochao is so sick, we can't just stay at home and wait any longer. No matter what, we two older brothers must go to the hospital to see her ourselves!"

"...Look!" Zhu Qian clenched his fists and finally made up his mind. "We watched Chaochao grow up. No matter how serious her illness is, we must go to the hospital to see her. She is timid and doesn't dare to speak in front of strangers. I don't even want to think about how helpless she would feel if her brother wasn't with her."

"But...we still don't know which hospital Chaochao is in?" At this moment, Zhu Mingyue suddenly hesitated again.

"...I can find out which hospital Chaochao is staying at." Zhu Qian said with certainty, "Our hospital's cardiologists went to Germany for a month of study at the beginning of the year, and my brother's good friend is among the German expert team that participated in this study tour."

“He has a great reputation in the cardiology field. The cardiologists at our hospital definitely know which hospital he works at now.”

"Great!" Shi Jing excitedly stood up from the sofa. "Second Brother, ask quickly! Once you find out, we'll fly to Germany immediately!"

Zhu Qian: "Okay!"

He retrieved his phone from the corner of the sofa and immediately called his colleague at the hospital, easily obtaining the name of the hospital.

Zhu Ning took out his phone and quickly sent a message to the person in charge of the club.

"I'll ask for leave from the team right now and buy a ticket to fly to Germany tomorrow!"

Zhu Qian: "I bought mine too."

“Okay!” Zhu Ning readily agreed, then looked up at the people in the living room, “Everyone’s going, right? If you’re going, I’ll buy your tickets at the same time.”

“…No.” Zhu Mingyue declined. “My ID card has expired. I need to get a temporary one before I can buy plane tickets. Third Brother, you can buy your and Second Brother’s tickets first. We’ll buy ours tomorrow.”

“Yes!” Jiang Jingwen nodded. “Besides, I don’t think all of us can be in Germany at the same time. My brother has a bad temper to begin with, and if he sees us all going there together, he’ll definitely be furious.”

“My suggestion is that you two go over and calm down the eldest brother first, and then we can go over after he’s calmed down.”

"Okay." Zhu Qian thought Jiang Jingwen's words made sense, so he agreed without much thought.

"Then Zhu Ning and I will go over first. We'll notify the rest of you after we've calmed down my brother."

Shi Jing: "Okay!"

...

It was past 11 p.m. when we left the Zhu family's house.

Zhu Qian and Zhu Ning were busy packing their luggage, so the task of seeing the guests off was left to Zhu Mingyue.

Zhu Mingyue escorted Shi Jing and the others to the courtyard gate, and said to them in a low voice, "My second and third brothers will be going to Germany first thing tomorrow morning. Once they get off the plane, Zhu Xingye's lies will be completely exposed."

"At that time, he will have no choice but to come out, even if he doesn't want to."

Li Weiwan: "We've already sent out the arrow. We don't know when or how Zhu Xingye will catch it. But just to be on the safe side, I suggest we don't stray too far from the Zhu family during this time."

"If Zhu Xingye shows up, there's an 80% chance he'll choose to return to the Zhu family and come back to find you."

Li Weiwan looked at Zhu Mingyue.

"Hmph..." Zhu Mingyue let out a mocking sneer, "He will definitely come back to me. He's not stupid. Once my second and third brothers see through his lies, he will definitely guess that this was all my plan. Although I am his own sister, it doesn't stop him from settling scores with me."

“So I’m going to give this to you.” Li Weiwan took out the time-lapse gun from the inside pocket of her down jacket and handed it to Zhu Mingyue. “Once Zhu Xingye comes back to you, take out the time-lapse gun and shoot him in the head. As long as the time-lapse gun hits his forehead, he will immediately regain all his memories.”

"At that time, he will definitely release Jinzhao on his own initiative."

"The Time-Travel Gun..." Zhu Mingyue looked at the pure white mechanical gun and carefully reached out to take it. "Will this thing kill people?"

“Heh,” Li Weiwan chuckled, “They won’t kill you, at most they’ll just hurt a little.”

"Oh." Zhu Mingyue was relieved.

Li Weiwan frowned, suddenly remembering something, and quickly instructed her, "Zhu Xingye who has regained his memories might be a bit scary. When you're with him, you must be as gentle as possible, and never confront him directly. Understand?"

Zhu Mingyue put the gun away: "Understood."

Li Weiwan: "Also, once Zhu Xingye regains his memories, you will follow suit. Those memories are too dark for you to accept, so after you regain your memories, you'd better stay in your rooms and not go anywhere! Unless you receive my order, understand?"

“…Oh.” The others nodded, looking confused.

Recalling Zhu Xingye's insane behavior in his past life, Li Weiwan couldn't help but nag again, "Mingyue, Zhu Xingye who has regained his memories will only listen to you. Don't forget to ask him about Jinzhao's whereabouts, and be sure to be gentle and obedient when you do. Got it?"

"Okay!" Zhu Mingyue said earnestly, "I've remembered everything, don't worry."
