Although everyone is just trying to make a living, Xia Jianlin's stingy, miserly, and calculating nature is simply unbearable. If it weren't for the fact that he was the son the Xia family had gone through so much trouble to find, these people probably wouldn't want to hang out with such a guy at all.
However, Xia Wan didn't care at all about Ah Hu's true thoughts. Without hesitation, she issued the order: "Go and cause some trouble for Xia Shuhua and Xia Jianlin right now. I don't care what methods you use, I want to see results today!"
When Ah Hu heard this, he was stunned. After a long while, he stammered, "Huh? Wh...what...trouble?" His eyes widened, his face full of confusion and fear, completely unable to understand what the other person meant by "trouble".
Seeing this, Xia Wan frowned impatiently, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes, and raised her voice: "For example, you are Xia Shuhua's own nephew! Is it too much to ask your aunt for some money?"
Or, what if you tell Xia Jianlin about the letter Xia Shuhua asked you to send to the Huaihua Brigade? Or, you could spread some rumors to create conflict and infighting between them. Do I really need to teach you how to do something so simple?
Upon hearing these words, Ah Hu's face turned ashen, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
He could clearly feel the sharp blade slicing through the skin of his neck, and a chill ran up his spine.
Despite being filled with fear, in the face of life and death, he nodded frantically and said, "Yes...yes...Grandma, don't worry, I'll do as you say right away..."
Seeing Ah Hu's obedient appearance, Xia Wan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
She reached out and gently patted Ah Hu's cheek, warning him in a slightly threatening tone, "Don't think you can fool me. You'll never escape my grasp. I'll be watching your every move. If I don't get any information from elsewhere today, you'll be in big trouble!"
Of course, Xia Wan knew very well that she couldn't possibly keep a close eye on Ah Hu's actions every single moment.
However, if she doesn't hear any news about this matter all day, she will definitely check the system and then continue to settle scores with Ah Hu!
After leaving Ah Hu, she walked forward with light yet steady steps, neither too fast nor too slow.
A gentle breeze caressed her cheeks and ruffled a few strands of hair, but she paid no heed to it, her mind preoccupied with a series of questions.
She couldn't help but recall the information she found in the system this time, as well as everything she had witnessed in reality. Why were there some differences between this information and what she had found in the system last time?
This left her feeling very confused and puzzled.
She clearly remembered the last time she used the query function in Huaihua Brigade.
At that time, the system showed that the Xia family in the capital valued her father extremely highly, to an extent that was beyond imagination.
Moreover, the previous search results did not mention the fact that the third daughter was actually an adopted daughter, nor did they mention that Grandpa Xia's adopted daughter had improper intentions.
In the last message, the Xia family even described in detail how they spared no effort to avenge her father, a sentiment that deeply moved Old Xia.
However, things seem to have changed dramatically now.
How could such a claim suddenly come out that someone has ulterior motives?
Could it be, as she suspected, that she hadn't done her research thoroughly enough last time?
Or perhaps this seemingly powerful system itself has some subtle, undetectable problems?
Many doubts lingered in Xia Wan's mind, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not find a definite answer.
Finally, she shook her head helplessly, thinking that since she couldn't figure it out for the time being, she might as well put it aside for now.
After all, she had always regarded this so-called query function as an auxiliary tool, and ultimately, it was most reliable to make judgments based on her own personal experience.
She had already told Lao Xia yesterday that she didn't need to prepare breakfast herself today, so she decided to enjoy a delicious breakfast first.
So she leisurely walked into a breakfast shop, ordered a steaming bowl of soy milk and a basket of fragrant steamed buns, and began to eat with relish.
After the meal, they slowly walked towards the hospital.
Along the way, she would occasionally admire the scenery along the roadside, and she felt particularly relaxed.
However, when she finally arrived at the hospital, she was surprised to find that her father's ward was packed with people.
Somewhat puzzled, she walked to the door of the ward and peered inside through the gaps in the crowd.
With just one glance, she guessed that it must be Old Master Xia who had come looking for her. This old man wasn't usually this quick; she hadn't expected him to be so decisive this time. Thinking this, Xia Wan couldn't help but mutter a few words to herself.
Then, feigning ignorance, she gently pushed open the door and went inside, asking in a sweet voice, "Father? What's this?"
Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Xia Xiong, who was talking to Xia Jianguo, suddenly turned around. His sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on Xia Wan for a long while.
Just as Xia Wan was feeling a little uneasy under his gaze, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Xia Xiong's face: "Haha, this must be my granddaughter Wanwan, right? Hmm, not bad at all, much better than your brother!"
It turned out that just moments ago, Xia Xiong had also been scrutinizing Xia Tao with the same sharp gaze. But in just a few moments, he could clearly sense the panic and helplessness in the boy's eyes.
The little girl in front of him, despite his intense gaze, remained calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever.
Xia Wan appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly she was rolling her eyes to the heavens.
This old man is quite outgoing; if you didn't know better, you'd think they'd already acknowledged their ancestors!
Xia Wan seemed not to hear what the person beside her was saying, then turned to look at her father with a puzzled expression and asked, "Dad? What's going on here?"
Xia Jianguo frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "This old gentleman keeps claiming to be my biological father, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove this."
