In-depth Investigation

Luyao was taken aback when she heard Liu Feng’s words. “Ill-gotten gains? Are you suggesting that all of his money was acquired through illegitimate means?” 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Liu Feng’s words relieved Luyao. She wished Han Xing would die outside, considering that he had so much money now, none of which he spent on her but gave all to other women. What she couldn’t have, why should others easily get it?

“It’s not exactly what I meant,” Liu Feng said, taking a sip of the coffee Luyao had bought.

“I suspect he has an account in the Second World, and all this money of his should be earned from there.”

Based on Liu Feng’s understanding of Han Xing, he couldn’t have ignored the Second World, a money-making machine. Moreover, the private detective had already investigated his activities, and since the launch of the Second World, Han Xing hadn’t taken any odd jobs.

Not to mention that Han Xing’s time outside suddenly reduced. Apart from visiting Han Yanran in the hospital, he mostly stayed at home.

“He’s always been good at gaming skills. Maybe he’s working for some guild,” Liu Feng casually speculated. In reality, he believed that Han Xing must be serving as a deputy in some guild; otherwise, how could he earn so much money so quickly?

As for whether Han Xing had established a guild in the Second World, Liu Feng never even considered that possibility.

Luyao bit her lower lip tightly, cautiously asking, “So, have we found his game account yet?”

If they had Han Xing’s game account, Luyao wouldn’t miss this perfect opportunity to suppress him. She would confront him and have Guild Master Star Rebel deal with him.

She would never allow Han Xing to live a better life than her. Moreover, if Han Xing knew her game ID and spread rumors to tarnish her reputation in the Second World, that would be disastrous.

“Not yet, but it’s only a matter of time.” Liu Feng’s eyes gleamed with malice. “Once I find his game account, he’ll know the cost of his actions.”

If it weren’t for that damn Han Xing, how could their Sky Dragon Guild have been destroyed by Star Rebel? If Han Xing had just obeyed and served him in the guild, how could he have joined the King’s Guild?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn’t wait to expose Han Xing.

Luyao, feeling frustrated, nodded reluctantly. “Alright, I’ll follow your instructions then.”

“You’ve been quite obedient lately.” Liu Feng glanced at her and wickedly pulled her down onto the office sofa…

Meanwhile, Han Xing had already found Professor Zhang Huaimin’s assistant at the hospital. He handed Han Xing a folder containing the hospital records from that year.

Han Xing carefully examined the folder. On the day her sister was born, there were several other expectant mothers in the hospital. Their parents had rushed to the hospital due to complications during childbirth, but unfortunately, the child couldn’t be saved.

The records also included handwritten medical charts from that time, indicating that the child couldn’t survive due to congenital deficiencies. The chart had turned yellow and worn, but the handwriting from back then was still discernible.

Han Xing carefully went through the records of the infants born around the same time, trying to find information about her sister’s birth. However, no matter how much he looked, he couldn’t find a match between the circumstances of the other infants and his sister’s situation.

At that time, medical technology was not advanced, and some children would be abandoned by their parents directly at the hospital. To prevent such situations, the hospital would take a photo of the parents with the newborn to establish a connection.

Han Xing remembered very clearly what Han Yanran looked like when she was a child. When her parents brought her back from the hospital, she was fair and chubby, nothing like a malnourished child.

After checking multiple times, Han Xing was certain that he hadn’t missed any information, so he returned the file to the assistant Zhang Huaimin.

“Where is Professor Zhang?” he asked.

The assistant took the documents from him and explained, “Professor Zhang has to perform two surgeries.”

“Please inform me promptly if he finishes the surgeries today,” Han Xing said.

This time, he didn’t return empty-handed. Han Xing had made sure to note down the name of the obstetrician who delivered him for his parents. The doctor was no longer at Rainbow City’s Third Hospital, presumably having reached retirement age.

Without hesitation, Han Xing transferred another sum of money to the private investigator who had worked for him before, instructing him to continue the investigation.

When he returned to the mansion, Shangguan Xuelan was remotely guiding Han Yanran on how to proficiently use skills in the Second World. On the large screen, Han Yanran’s game character was prominently displayed, continuously unleashing skills to defeat the small monsters in front of her.

“Well, this is interesting! No wonder my brother is so fond of the Second World,” came Han Yanran’s voice from the screen, filled with excitement.

Upon noticing Han Xing’s return, Shangguan Xuelan quickly said to Han Yanran, “You can keep playing! I need to attend to something.”

Once she was certain that Han Yanran couldn’t hear her, Shangguan Xuelan turned her attention to Han Xing. “I think it’s necessary to take her to Stone Village. It would be best for Mr. Mo to personally assess her situation.”

When Han Yanran woke up, she did not know about what had transpired earlier. She assumed there was something wrong with her body again, but Shangguan Xuelan, fearing she might overthink things, simply told her that she was feeling a bit weak and needed to focus on exercising.

“I have the same intention,” Han Xing pondered for a moment, then spoke with a hint of seriousness, “Xuelan, I carefully considered it on my way back. Her mental state is unstable at the moment, and I’m worried about your safety.”

“Let me take her on this trip first, and if there’s any problem, I’ll let you know.”

Upon hearing him say that, Shangguan Xuelan felt somewhat regretful, but she could only nod. “Alright, 1’11 inform her before we leave.”

Han Yanran, seeing Shangguan Xuelan rushing over and insisting on keeping her for dinner, felt puzzled.

With only two days left, the Second World was about to undergo a major update, which included the addition of a personal leaderboard feature and the opening of the gold mining function in the Second World.

This function could be considered a benefit for ordinary players, as long as they went mining every day, they could exchange it for certain in-game resources. Previously, Han Xing remembered that when this event just started, he diligently mined for over 300 consecutive days.

He dug up piles and piles of miscellaneous ores. Back then he thought these things were useless. In reality, they were ample resources prepared by the company for the Craftsman class, but that’s beside the point.

After dinner, Han Xing personally escorted Shangguan Xuelan back to her home. When he returned, Han Yanran had already finished tidying up.

“You’ve finally recovered from your illness. Tomorrow, I’ll take you out to relax. It’s not good to stay cooped up at home all the time.”

As soon as Han Yanran heard Han Xing’s words, she couldn’t sit still and jumped up excitedly, saying, “Really? Xing! I’ve been so bored at home!”
