"I..." Ye Xiu stuttered nervously, "I came straight here from the casino. I didn't go anywhere else in between. Is there anything wrong, big brother?"
Ye Xiu grabbed Ye Chen's arm, tears welling up in his beautiful eyes, "Xiao Jiu is gone, my heart can't take it anymore."
"Nothing, don't be nervous, I'm just asking you something." Ye Chen's eyes were solemn, and he waved his hand at the adjutant, "It's better to be cautious about this matter, because not only did you receive the things sent by Xiao Jiu, I also received them."
Ye Chen's adjutant walked forward, holding a courier box in both hands, and inside the box was a silver badge.
"This is our family's ancestral emblem. We received it this morning by express delivery. The sender is Lin Jiu."
Ye Xiu picked up the badge and examined it carefully. "No wonder when I ran into Xiaojiu in the Ghost Market in the Imperial Capital, she was studying this kind of badge from the Nanyang Kingdom."
He clutched the badge tightly in his palm. "I didn't expect she'd done so much before she was murdered. Why didn't she tell us this earlier? Why did she send it by courier?"
"So I'm also suspicious of her purpose in sending us a package, not just to tell us that she's our sister." Ye Chen put one hand behind his back and turned to look at an oil painting on the wall. "So, we need to go to Bincheng immediately."

Ben Thanh slums
In a dim little room, in front of a rusty iron table, a girl in a black sweatshirt and a hood opened her laptop.
The fair fingers tapped a few times on the keyboard, and the surveillance video of the Qingna Paternity Testing Center appeared on the screen.
When she enlarged the image of the appraisal report in Ye Xiu's hand, the appraisal results were clearly displayed on the screen.
The girl raised her hands and covered her heart tightly.
Although she had imagined such an outcome before, she never expected to know the truth under such circumstances.
She gasped for breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Brother." The hood covered most of the girl's face, and only her thin lips painted with aunt's lipstick could be seen gradually rising. "An orphan, and now I have so many brothers."
Suddenly, a piece of news popped up on the laptop.
TD Group President Nine was murdered, causing TD Group's stock price to plummet and the company to face bankruptcy due to a broken capital chain.
"As expected." The girl took out her cell phone and prepared to make a call.
Another news item popped up on the interface: [Huo Group acquires TD Group and all its businesses.]
"Taking advantage of others' misfortune, you villain!" The girl closed the laptop with contempt.
Suddenly there was a click outside the door.
The girl carefully put away her computer and just as she hid behind the door, it was pushed open.
A tall figure stepped in, and the girl pushed the man against the wall, holding a knife to his neck.
"Who is the villain who takes advantage of others in your heart?" A low and hoarse voice echoed in the girl's ears.
"You!" the girl replied bluntly, closing the door with her hand. "How did you find this place?"
"You little liar, you've made me sad for you for so long, how are you going to compensate me?" Huo Shen pinched Lin Jiu's chin hard, forcing her to look up at him, as if he wanted to let out all the grief and anger in his heart over the past few days.
Lin Jiu was pinched and hurt, and shook off Huo Shen's hand, "I'm asking you a question, answer first."
"You acted so realistically that I actually believed it. From now on, I will never call you Baoer again. I'll just call you a little liar."
"Big liar, I don't know who is selling bracelets on TD.com, but you dug a big trap for me." Lin Jiu put away the knife, "When did you know I was here?"
"When you were carried into the ambulance, I realized those people were actors. But I believe that in that situation, you must have your own reasons for doing so. So in the following days, including the funeral, I cooperated with you in acting."
Huo Shen handed a black diamond card to Lin Jiu. "From today on, a top designer will tailor-make clothes for you every day for various occasions. Your mistake is that you always like to wear the same clothes. I've installed an invisible tracker on this black hooded sweatshirt of yours."
Lin Jiu looked at Huo Shen, a strange smile suddenly forming on the corner of her lips. She lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I already discovered your tracker a long time ago. I told you my location on purpose."
"Huh?" Huo Shen frowned as there was a loud bang outside the door.
