Chapter 165 The Truth Revealed! [1st Update]
Zhong Manhua's pupils suddenly contracted, and she stopped looking down.
All her emotions surged up, and her vision went black as she collapsed onto the sofa.
The butler was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam!"
"Don't come any closer!" Zhong Manhua braced herself against the sofa armrest, barely managing to sit up again. Her eyes were bloodshot as she said sharply, "Don't come near me, just stand there."
The butler was puzzled.
But it was his master's order, so he had no choice but to back away.
After retreating to the position designated by Zhong Manhua, the butler tentatively asked, "Madam, has the Second Miss gotten into trouble again?"
"That's just how she is. Please don't get angry, or you'll only hurt yourself."
Zhong Manhua ignored the housekeeper.
She felt dizzy and her ears were ringing. She couldn't hear anything and could only see this one sentence.
If this had happened before, she would definitely have thought it was just a prank.
After all, in the year since Ying Zijing was brought back to the Ying family, both she and Ying Zhenting had given up on disciplining her, and only Ying Luwei was still very patient.
They would put Ying Zijin in the gifted class, teach her piano, buy her lots of clothes and jewelry, and speak up for her in front of them.
But today's performance made Zhong Manhua realize that Ying Luwei's attitude towards Ying Zijin was really strange.
She struggled to calm herself before daring to continue reading.
After reading it, she was completely stunned.
The letter is short, but it contains a series of evidence.
This evidence fully proves that on January 28, 2003, Ying Luwei stole an infant from the Ying family's old house and threw it into a dead-end alley on the side of the street.
Even after 16 years, Zhong Manhua could never forget this day.
Because it was right after the New Year, the Ying family received a huge order from the capital.
Once they secure this major order, the Ying Group will be able to reach new heights.
So she and Ying Zhenting both went out, all in order to successfully sign the deal.
As a result, when she returned at midnight, she went to see her youngest daughter as usual.
There was only a blanket left in the crib.
A baby that big could only crawl and couldn't possibly run away, but the servants searched the entire old house and couldn't find the baby anywhere.
It's as if they vanished into thin air.
The Ying family went to look for it, but they couldn't find it.
Zhong Manhua gripped the envelope tightly, as if she had thought of something, and then shouted sharply, "Butler!"
The butler trembled and hurriedly replied, "Madam."
"Sixteen years ago, on the day the second young lady went missing, did you... did you..." Zhong Manhua closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and struggled to utter the words, "...see Luwei go out?"
The butler was taken aback, never expecting Zhong Manhua to suddenly bring up this matter: "Madam?"
"Speak!" Zhong Manhua slammed her hand on the table in anger. "If you don't speak, get out of the Ying family today."
The butler racked his brains, and a few minutes later, he slapped his forehead and blurted out, "Madam, I saw her. Miss Luvia went out at eight o'clock in the evening and came back at eight-thirty."
"She said it was snowing outside, so she went out and had a snowball fight with her friends. I saw that she was covered in snow, so I told her to go to the bathroom."
Madam Ying was already resting at that time, and Ying Luwei was her son born late in life.
If he doesn't serve them well, he'll definitely be fired.
Zhong Manhua dug her nails into her palms and took a deep breath: "When did you discover that the Second Miss was missing?"
"I won't forget that." The butler replied, though puzzled. "At 8:50, I'll go change the second young lady's bottle."
The timeline matches up perfectly!
Zhong Manhua clenched her teeth so hard that she could taste the blood.
She and Ying Zhenting suspected everyone in the old house, but never Ying Luwei.
They watched Ying Luwei grow up. Although they were of the same generation, they all doted on Ying Luwei as a junior.
Ying Luwei was very sensible from a young age. Before she had any daughters, Ying Luwei was always her sweet and caring daughter.
Zhong Manhua couldn't understand why Ying Luwei would do this.
Moreover, how old was Ying Luwei in 2003?
She's only 8 years old.
How could an 8-year-old child do such a vicious thing?
Zhong Manhua couldn't accept it. Her fingers trembled as she picked up the landline next to her and dialed an international number.
As soon as the call connected, she choked out, "Zhenting, come back quickly, something terrible has happened..."

Overnight, Ying Luwei's reputation was completely ruined.
The entire Weibo community is criticizing her.
Her fans all unfollowed her; instead of fighting back, they attacked her even more fiercely.
The more I liked it then, the more I hate it now.
Ying Luwei hid in the apartment she had bought, too afraid to go out.
She secretly logged into Weibo using a secondary account to check, and the more she looked, the more wronged and upset she felt, until she felt like she was about to explode.
Especially the comments under her Weibo posts are all from IDs marked with "die-hard fan".
[White Lotus, your true colors have finally been revealed. You've had a lot of fun playing tricks on us these past few years, haven't you?]
[This is disgusting! Look at what you said before, you were clearly deliberately inciting us to cyberbully, weren't you? You instigated your fans, never restrained them, and sent them to jail while you got away scot-free, even playing the victim to gain sympathy.]
[Trash, I've already sued you. Get ready to receive your flyers!]
Seeing that things were not going well, Qigan Media, the company Ying Luwei had signed with, issued a unilateral statement terminating the contract in the middle of the night, not long after the incident was exposed.
Her agent also terminated their cooperation and fled overnight.
Everyone who fawned over her is now turning against her.
Ying Luwei felt cold all over, and tears kept flowing down her face.
She was certain that someone was behind this, otherwise those whistleblower accounts wouldn't have ignored her warnings on Weibo.
It was a mistake for her to use Jiang Moyuan to bring Ying Zijin back from Qingshui County.
If she hadn't brought Ying Zijin back, the Ying family would never have found out.
What should she do now?
Ying Luwei was in a panic. She racked her brains and finally grasped at a straw.
Yes, she wants to marry into the Jiang family as soon as possible.
As long as she becomes the matriarch of the Jiang family, it doesn't matter if her reputation is ruined.
Ying Luwei composed herself, wiped away her tears, tidied herself up, and drove to Jiang Moyuan's company.

It's not the weekend, and Qingzhi still has classes.
Ying Zijing propped her head up with one hand and scrolled through her phone with the other.
Once you enter the hidden section, finding rare medicinal herbs will no longer be a problem.
As long as you can offer something that will entice the big shots, and the reward is high enough, someone will accept the offer.
Although she hasn't encountered any particularly troublesome symptoms recently, stocking up on more medicinal herbs is never a bad thing.
But by stockpiling them like this, a lot of money was spent.
Fortunately, there was Ying Luwei's 80 million.
The hidden sections of the NOK forum have many bounty posts every day. To make it easier to post and find these posts, the administrators have categorized them.
O Continent has an alchemy community, and China has an ancient medical community; both places have a great demand for medicinal materials.
Therefore, the medicinal herbs section has always been a popular area for bounties on the forum, and of course, the prices are also higher.
Ying Zijing scanned the new posts, posted one herself, and then logged out.
After browsing the homepage for the day's gossip, Ying Zijing clicked refresh and saw a freshly posted thread.
[Title]: Hey everyone, you all know about that concert in Shanghai, China, right?
[Content]: I'm not in Shanghai, but I brought my goddess Vera Hall's name with me, so I bought an online ticket.
I'm shocked! My goddess's three famous pieces have been reproduced in their entirety for the first time! I guarantee that the performer is definitely Willa Hall!
Because the versions of "Sun and Moon" and "Holy War" that she played were different from the ones I had heard before.
Moreover, she still managed to play the score of "Song of Florence" when it was so damaged that it was beyond repair.
Ahhhhh, I'm going crazy! My goddess didn't die, she's come back to life!!!
The three exclamation marks show just how excited the person who posted the message was.
Ying Zijing looked at the post, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Vera Hall is a towering figure in music history, but she doesn't actually get any attention in NOK's hidden section.
After all, this involves the world's deepest secrets; if even one of them were leaked, the whole world would be in an uproar.
In the eyes of these big shots who frequent this place, she was just an ordinary person.
But the addition of the word "resurrection" has attracted a lot of attention.
However, it's not a big problem.
She knew this would happen, so she made plans.
[1st Floor]: I remember the original poster is a big fan of Vera Hall.
[2nd Floor]: Oh, I heard that. There are things about people coming back to life, but to be resurrected after three hundred years is a bit far-fetched. The alchemists in the alchemy world and the top poison masters on our list can't live for long even with the drugs that alter human cells.
...
[12th Floor]: It's not impossible, the Laurent family... well, I dare not say, if I do, my skin will be peeled off.
[Post #89]: Memory transplantation? Have the big names in the scientific community figured out this yet?
The post is gaining popularity rapidly, and more and more people are joining the discussion.
Fu Yunshen naturally saw it.
Even if he didn't see it, people would regularly report things about the hidden sections to him.
And he did indeed pay attention to it.
Fu Yunshen's eyelashes fluttered, and he took out his phone from the drawer and made a call.
After a long pause, he chuckled softly, "Do you think it's possible for this person to retain their memories and live again a few hundred years later?"
