Upon hearing Ji Yong and the other person's words, Qingyou suddenly recalled a memory of the original owner of the body.
"The Huo family you're talking about, is it the one that started a pharmaceutical company after the Great Cataclysm?"
Ji Yong nodded, "Yes, our Ji family also runs a pharmaceutical company, but it can't compare to the Huo family."
It is precisely because they cannot compare that they seek a way to refine other new potions.
Qingyou then asked, "Does the Huo family have another young master named Huo Huanyu?"
Ji Yong said, "Yes, he is Huo Xingchen's older brother, but Huo Xingchen's mother was his first wife, while Huo Huanyu was born to another woman."
Qingyou nodded. "I see."
Then she understood.
Six months ago, the original owner of this body saved an injured young man in the fourth district and later learned that the man's name was Huo Huanyu.
Two months ago, Huo Huanyu recovered from his injuries and returned to the First District.
In the life before Ping Hongxi was reborn, the original owner of the body married Huo Huanyu, who successfully inherited the Huo family business.
After being reborn, Ping Hongxi took Huo Huanyu by force and successfully inherited the Huo family business.
However, all of these conditions are predicated on the fact that the Huo family's designated heir dies unexpectedly.
Otherwise, Huo Huanyu wouldn't have risen to power so easily.
The original owner's memories did not mention the name of the Huo family's heir, nor did they say who kidnapped him or how he died.
After all, at this point in both lifetimes, the original owner was still in the fourth district.
However, after going to the First District, I heard that the Huo family heir had died. The Huo family investigated the matter, and then the matter was dropped.
Qingyou now believes that Huo Xingchen's death was related to Huo Huanyu, after all, that guy was the male protagonist of this small world.
Those who obstruct him must naturally make way for him.
Moreover, she recognized the man fighting the little zombie as someone she had seen in the original owner's memories—one of Hirai Hongxi's admirers.
Not long after Ping Hongxi was reborn, she specifically saved this person's life.
The fact that this person captured Huo Xingchen and deliberately let the zombies bite him is definitely related to Ping Hongxi and Huo Huanyu.
After the cataclysm, the global population plummeted, and once things stabilized, all the major bases were encouraging people to have more children.
Monogamy was thus abolished, and it became legal for a man to have as many women and children as he had, in addition to his first wife.
Therefore, the concept of illegitimate children no longer exists.
It's similar to a feudal dynasty, where men could have multiple wives and concubines, and the children born to the principal wife were considered legitimate, while the children born to other women were considered illegitimate.
If a family wants to prosper, it should have as many children as possible.
Generally speaking, as long as the legitimate child is capable, the family business will indeed be inherited by the legitimate child.
Only if the legitimate child is not suitable will the illegitimate child inherit the throne.
That's the situation with the Yan family.
The original owner's grandmother was Master Yan's first wife. Her family was quite powerful back then and helped the old man a lot.
However, just because the son she gave birth to was an ordinary person, even though the original owner's father was smart and talented, he was still deprived of his inheritance rights and was not valued, and was replaced by the child born to another woman.
These are problems that all families in the major bases have. Ji Yong also has many half-siblings. He was chosen as the heir because he was born of the legitimate wife and was a superhuman with great abilities.
Therefore, the only way for others to seize the position of heir is to kill him.
This explains why news of two separate trips out of the city was secretly delivered to these hunters.
If she hadn't been saved, Ji Ying would have died according to the original trajectory and fate, and Ji Yong and the others' plan would have failed.
When Ji Yong saw that Qingyou was holding Huo Xingchen in her arms, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know him?"
Otherwise, given Qingyou's personality, she wouldn't have had such physical contact with a strange man.
Moreover, judging from Qingyou's appearance, she seems to care about Huo Xingchen quite a bit, personally applying and feeding him the medicine.
Qingyou nodded and said, "Yes, I've known him for a long time."
"I just didn't know he was the legitimate son of the Huo family before."
She and Xiaoxing are in a relationship, and it will definitely show unintentionally later, so it's better to say it like this first to lay the groundwork.
The original owner's older sister had spent most of the past two years in the wild, so the situation could be explained away.
Ji Yong and Si Qin nodded, "No wonder, so you two know each other."
Seeing the young man struggling with the little zombie but not yet subdued, Qingyou realized that this man clearly knew a lot about the Zombie King.
She said to Ji Yong and the other man, "This man is not simple. You should arrest him."
The two men realized that this man was no ordinary person, so they led several guards forward to try and capture him.
With their help, the man was quickly captured.
Deng Kaichun looked up at Qingyou with a sinister gaze, "Who are you people? Why are you invading our territory?"
Qingyou raised an eyebrow. "You wouldn't know who we are?"
“Your chieftain brought us here, so we can’t be considered an invader.”
She suddenly added, "Your kidnapping of Huo Xingchen was arranged by Ping Hongxi, wasn't it?"
Deng Kaichun was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and his expression returned to normal. "Who is Ping Hongxi?"
He was shocked. Who was this woman?
How did he know that Ping Hongxi had asked him to kidnap Huo Xingchen?
Qingyou had just been trying to trick Deng Kaichun, and seeing his reaction, she was certain that her guess was true.
In order to help Huo Huanyu gain a foothold in the Huo family more quickly after returning and compete for the position of heir, Ping Hongxi devised a plan to have Deng Kaichun kidnap Huo Xingchen.
Qingyou looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You don't even remember the person who saved your life?"
Deng Kaichun's eyes narrowed, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know what you mean."
