In the ward, the two siblings were chatting about what color to paint the room and what flowers and plants to arrange on the balcony.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
Xiao Siyun became closer to Xiao Yingzhi. Although she was not close enough to call him brother spontaneously, she expressed her sincere gratitude.
Xiao Yingzhi felt even more guilty towards her.
"You're welcome. Brother is supposed to take care of you and pamper you."
"We went out to play that day, but my brother didn't hold your hand properly, so you disappeared."
"If it weren't for my carelessness...I'm sorry."
Hearing him talk about the past with melancholy, Xiao Siyun felt a little sad even though he could not remember it.
But in a flash, he remembered the strange memories that Xiao Yun had brought back to him before, and felt like something was wrong, so he asked about the kidnapping incident that year.
"Are you sure I was abducted?"
"Why do you ask that?" Xiao Yingzhi was puzzled.
Xiao Siyun raised his hands and exposed his arms.
Xiao Yingzhi felt distressed when he saw her white and slender arms covered with bruises.
"Look, I have some injuries on my body now, but they are all fresh. My skin is very white and tender, and I don't have any calluses on my hands."
She even showed him her palm.
"I haven't been abused, and I don't seem to have done any rough labor. How could the traffickers be so nice to me?"
Xiao Yingzhi is a reborn person. As her brother, he certainly knows what kind of life she lived before.
Although she never suffered physical pain as a child, she lived in fear every day.
The family that adopted her was complicated and dangerous, and he didn't want her to have bad memories.
Xiao Yingzhi frowned and began to tell her what happened that year with a mixture of truth and lies.
"According to the trafficker's confession, you were beautiful and cute, and were soon bought by a foreign couple for a high price."
Xiao Siyun was surprised, "Foreigner?"
"Yes, because it changes hands so quickly, there are no visible transaction records, and it also involves overseas, so the clues are difficult to trace."
"Maybe they sold you to a wealthy family?"
Xiao Siyun frowned, "What kind of good family would buy a child from a human trafficker? And my Chinese is very good!"
Xiao Yingzhi felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
"Can you help me check?"
"ah?"
Xiao Yingzhi felt as if he was facing a great enemy, so his face was extremely tense.
His sister looked at him with such expectant eyes that it was hard for him to resist agreeing to any of her requests.
but……
Xiao Siyun looked at his hesitant expression and felt that this request seemed a bit inappropriate.
I just found my new home and I can't wait to ask my new home to help me find my old home. I feel really embarrassed for them. I hurriedly explained:
"I, I don't think my current home is bad, so I want to find my previous home."
"You're very good, and I like you very much. I just want to know about the past."
"You know, I don't remember anything when I wake up..."
"Is it alright, brother?"
At the end of her words, she acted very happy and called him brother coquettishly.
It was as if a switch had been flipped.
Xiao Yingzhi's hesitant eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously agreed: "Okay."
Xiao Siyun suddenly became happy. Just calling him brother worked. Was it that simple?
She could shout more.
"Thank you, brother!"
“…”
After Xiao Yingzhi came to his senses, he felt mixed emotions.
His sister finally agreed to call him brother.
Although I am more happy, but——
not good!
He agreed on a whim, how can he make up for it?
"Brother will check, but you have to be mentally prepared. After all, so many years have passed."
"Besides, the previous incident made the news. They might know that you are the daughter of the Xiao family."
"After all, they adopted you illegally. They might destroy the evidence for fear of getting into trouble."
Xiao Siyun, however, put forward a different view.
"That might also make more people know me and come to see me. I can't just interact with their family members, right?"
"Uh, yes."
Xiao Yingzhi found it tricky. Although his sister had a brain injury, she was still functioning quite well.
"You have a point. This is a direction."
He praised it first, thinking that his brother would definitely block the way for him!
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
He then asked, “Do you have any other ideas?”
Xiao Siyun was completely defenseless and offered a suggestion, "Well, maybe we can do this..."
Xiao Yingzhi nodded repeatedly and secretly thought of ways to nip these methods in the bud.
Xiao Siyun didn't know that all his ideas had died in the womb, and he happily thanked Xiao Yingzhi.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother."
“It’s not hard.”
Xiao Yingzhi responded gently and coaxed her to take a nap.
"Brother will take care of these things. You can rest first, okay?"
"Yeah! Thank you, brother!"
Xiao Siyun smiled sweetly. She believed in Xiao Yingzhi's efficiency and went to sleep peacefully.
Xiao Yingzhi left the ward and immediately called Chen Yan.
"Take down all the news online. No photos showing my sister's face should appear!"
"My mom and Zeyun's are here too!"
"By the way, let me check again. There's a family abroad named..."
Chen Yan agreed to all of them, "There is one more thing I need to ask you."
"explain."
"The online rumors about the young lady have been resolved, but there's an account that's been confirmed to belong to Miss Xiao Yun. Should we also deal with that?"
Xiao Yingzhi was silent for a while, then said, "Keep it for now, sort out the evidence, and send someone to watch her."
