The original owner's death was entirely his own fault. Zhou Chengde was short of funds for his experiment, so he went to the school to ask Zhou He for money. However, he unexpectedly ran into the original owner.
The original owner looked very similar to Wen An when he was young. With just a quick glance, Zhou Chengde knew in his heart that the person in front of him must be the child he had stolen.
Later, when he learned that the child who had been exchanged was now living in a wealthy family, greed instantly took over.
Without hesitation, Zhou Chengde went straight to the original owner and revealed the secret. He told the original owner that Zhou He was actually the young master of the Xie family.
At first, faced with such an incredible statement, the original owner naturally found it hard to believe. However, after a paternity test using the hair, the cruel truth was revealed, forcing the original owner to accept this reality.
However, after learning the truth, the original owner did not choose to tell the Xie family. Instead, he was extremely afraid that he would lose the noble status and wealth that the young master of the Xie family had.
So, in order to keep all this, the original owner had to remit money to Zhou Chengde every month to keep him quiet and prevent the truth from being revealed.
However, this expedient measure was clearly unsustainable. As time went on, the original owner's inner uneasiness grew stronger, and fear followed him everywhere.
Gradually, he developed an extremely evil and terrifying idea. Since Zhou He's existence threatened his position, as long as Zhou He was eliminated, no one would be able to replace him as the young master of the Xie family.
However, the original owner's plot failed. Xie Fang successfully captured Zhou Chengde and not only thoroughly investigated Zhou He's true identity, but also discovered that the original owner had already known about it.
But instead of telling the truth to the Xie family, the original owner deliberately tried to murder the real second young master of the Xie family.
This insane behavior made Wu Yi, who had always loved and cared for the original owner, deeply saddened and disappointed.
In the end, the Xie family cut ties with the original owner and completely severed all ties. This heavy blow was undoubtedly fatal to the original owner.
But to make matters worse, another shocking news came right after: after professional testing, it was found that the original owner was actually a sentinel.
Once this fact was exposed, it caused an uproar in the capital, and the original owner instantly became the topic of conversation and a laughing stock among the people.
An upright sentinel has been treated as a guide for so many years, but he lives such a pathetic life, not even as good as an ordinary guide.
The constant barrage of such sarcasm brought the original owner to the brink of mental collapse. Having lost his mind, the original owner did something extremely crazy.
He drove his car and tried to hit Zhou He who had just left the house. However, things did not go as planned and the accident ended with the original owner's death.
The time point when Xie Qi traveled through time was exactly one month before the military school started.
A month later, the male protagonist Xie Fangze will go to the military academy and temporarily serve as an instructor.
At the same time, Xie Qi, who had just enrolled in school, would inevitably meet Zhou Chengde and learn that he was the fake second young master of the Xie family.
Now, Xie Qi stood up from the sofa and walked to the furry rabbit not far away. Then he reached out and grabbed the rabbit's two long ears, easily lifting its entire body up.
Xie Qi looked expressionlessly at the struggling white rabbit in his hands and asked, "948, if this spirit body dies, can we get a new one?"
As soon as the words fell, a sharp and urgent voice exploded in Xie Qi's ears: "No! Absolutely not! The spirit body and the host body have a life-and-death relationship. If you are strong, it will also be strong. If it dies, you will not be much better off! So, don't even think of such a dangerous idea!"
Hearing 948's excited and piercing scream, Xie Qi was speechless. He turned his head away and replied calmly, "Oh."
Xie Qi then casually let go of it and threw it to the ground. He then turned and walked towards the door, reaching out and pushing open the tightly closed door.
At this time, Wu Yi, who was anxiously waiting downstairs, saw Xie Qi walking down the stairs.
He hurried forward, his face filled with guilt, and said carefully, "Son, this time it's all Dad's fault. Dad has already taught your father a lesson. Your father beat you for your own good. Don't be angry with your father anymore."
However, before Xie Qi could respond, Xie Tingwei, who was sitting on the sofa, had already spoken angrily: "What is he still angry about! He dared to talk back to his father for those bad friends! He didn't even know he was sold out by those people! He just stirs up trouble all day long. Sooner or later, he will piss me off to death!"
Seeing this, Wu Yi quickly turned to Xie Tingwei and scolded him, "Can't you just be a little less talkative? The child is already so old, can't you just say it nicely?"
After Wu Yi finished speaking, she took Xie Qi's arm and asked with concern, "Son, you didn't eat much just now. Are you still hungry? How about asking Mrs. Zhang to make you another meal?"
Before Xie Qi traveled through time, the original owner had already had a fierce argument with her family. After that argument, the original owner ran straight back to her bedroom in anger.
At this moment, Xie Qi first cast his gaze on Xie Tingwei, who was sitting on the sofa with his face blue with anger, and then shifted his gaze to Xie Fangze who was on the other side of the sofa.
After a brief pause, Xie Qi slowly turned his head, looked at Wu Yi, and said sincerely and earnestly, "Dad, I'm not hungry. I'm sorry for what happened before. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have made you sad like that, and I shouldn't have made you so angry."
As soon as Xie Qi finished speaking, Xie Tingwei glanced at Xie Qi with surprise on his face, but after just this one glance, he quickly turned his head away again, as if he didn't want to look at Xie Qi any more.
Xie Fang did not react at all from beginning to end. After Xie Qi came down, he did not even look at him. In his eyes, this younger brother has always been stubborn and willful, and it is impossible for him to admit his mistakes on his own initiative.
At this moment, Xie Qi took Wu Yi's hand, walked up to them, and sat on the sofa together.
Then, Xie Qi raised his head, staring straight at Xie Tingwei, and then he opened his lips and continued, "Father, I was alone in the room just now, thinking for a long time, and figured out a lot of things. To be honest, I have always been very clear in my heart. I was unwilling to accept it before. You are all high-level, and I am low-level, so I was unreasonable and made trouble to make you sad. Those people said I was a waste, and they were not wrong."
Wu Yi, who was sitting nearby, quickly retorted, "How could that be? Son, in Daddy's eyes, you're very good and very capable..."
However, before Wu Yi could finish his words, Xie Qi couldn't help but let out a wry laugh and interrupted him, saying, "Dad, you're just being your real dad. I know what I'm like. I'm always causing all kinds of trouble for you, and in the end, I have to rely on my brother to clean up the mess for me."
