The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 11 seems to have become smarter.

In fact, the original owner was betrayed again that time, and became infamous in the entire elite circle of Haicheng, becoming a well-known ingrate.

It was clearly Qu Ying who cried and complained to the original owner, saying that she had been married into the Yun family for so many years but was still an outsider. The younger generation in the family all had shares, but she, as Mrs. Yun, had no say in the group and was not worthy of the title.

The original owner also felt that her biological mother was wronged and wanted to fight for her mother's interests, but she was mistakenly thought to be greedy and coveting the Yun family's shares, and was severely humiliated.

The coming-of-age ceremony of Yun Wan and her sister was ruined. With the old and new grudges combined, this led to the incident where the original owner was tricked by Yun Wan when she went back to Qingshui Town to worship her ancestors.

To be honest, Yun Wan was also an unlucky one who was affected by the situation.

Seeing Yun Wan's wary expression, Yun Ran wasn't annoyed. She wasn't about to dig a hole for herself because of Qu Ying.

Ignoring Yun Wan's gaze, Yun Ran said calmly, "I just feel that now that I'm in high school, if I don't fit in, everyone will think I'm a weirdo."

Now I realize my mom was right. I was just too narrow-minded, which is why I was so petty. I was younger then and easily got stuck on trivial matters.

It's good to go out more, to interact with more people, so that you don't always focus on your own little corner of the world.

After Yunran finished speaking, she saw that everyone at the dining table was looking at her with strange expressions, as if she were telling them that the sun always rises from the west.

"Who knows what kind of tricks you're up to this time!"

Yun Ran didn't care about the Yun family's distrust. She sat down and said to the maid next to her, "Bring me two breakfasts!"

Yun Jingyang, who had never cared about the infighting among his younger siblings, now looked at Yun Ran with a playful expression, clearly thinking that Yun Ran seemed to have become smarter.

Is it really true that no one in the Yun family saw through Qu Ying's methods?

Of course not, they just felt it was a game between a fool and a hypocritical woman, with the Yun family being the beneficiaries.

Having a wise and capable wife and a clueless stepdaughter gives them face in public, makes them objects of sympathy, and prevents them from being accused of mistreating their stepdaughter.

Why would the Yun family point out such a good thing? They're not doing charity work.

Yun Shaotang gave Yun Ran a deep look before saying, "Tell Secretary Zhang where you want to study abroad and he will make the arrangements."

"Thank you, Dad."

Yun Ran gave a harmless smile. Her stepfather was always a smart man who only did things that were in his own interest.

In order to get away as soon as possible, she was willing to go anywhere and directly chose a study tour group that was leaving the next day.

If it weren't for Secretary Zhang's influence, Yun Ran really wouldn't have made this trip.

"Third Miss, actually I think next week's global study tour would be more suitable for you to broaden your horizons..."

"I don't care what you think!"

Meanwhile, Xie Xuzhi sat on the top floor of a members-only bar in Haicheng, swirling the wine glass in his hand. His eyes, which seemed to look at dogs with deep affection, clearly contained a hint of indifference.

A flashy man dressed as a bartender walked in, carrying a tray in one hand.

"You're the first person to drink so early in the morning. Can your body handle it?"

Xie Xuzhi glanced over coldly and smashed the wine glass in his hand over.

The man, who had been chuckling, quickly dodged. His smile vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of fear. He had forgotten that this young master of the Xie family was a ruthless man; why had he been so sarcastic?

"Boss, I was wrong, please spare my life!"

"Let's get down to business!"

Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Song Ye has been transferred back. Also, Hua Zhao, as an important witness, has been sent back to Kyoto and is being personally monitored by the Special Administration Bureau..."

After finishing the business, he looked at Xie Xuzhi's face, which showed no expression, before continuing, "The identity of that little girl from before is no longer in question."

She is the stepdaughter of the Yun family. Apart from being somewhat competitive, she has nothing special about her. As for her current reputation, one can only say that she is a pitiful child who is not loved by her parents.

The only somewhat suspicious thing is her biological father, Shen Jun, who suddenly disappeared when she was five years old.

According to previous information, her biological father was a glib-tongued scoundrel, but coincidentally, the time and place of his disappearance matched the time and place of the major human trafficking case on August 822.

I specifically checked the case file; it records the undercover agents involved in this case. Five were killed, and two went missing.

Xie Xuzhi remembered this case. At that time, he was already fifteen years old. Due to health reasons, his grandfather sent him to the Special Administration Bureau.

He had access to many case files that outsiders couldn't see. Back then, he was young and hot-blooded, and when he saw the case file, he was so angry that he smashed an antique tea set.

The official version of events is the truth that the public can accept. In reality, those who rescued abducted persons suffered heavy casualties, far exceeding the number announced.

This incident caused a huge uproar back then because the case spanned a long period of time, involved many people, and had a very negative impact.

"You mean, her father is very likely one of the missing undercover agents?"

Gu Yuan shrugged: "I didn't say that. I just pointed out the suspicious points without making any judgments. Boss, the person you're investigating, of course, can't miss any clues."

"I understand, you can get lost now!"

Gu Yuan was used to being used and then discarded. Even if he grumbled and complained in his heart for a long time, he didn't dare to say it.

Xie Xuzhi took out the beads he was wearing around his neck, his eyes narrowing slightly. These days, he could feel the warmth in his body without relying on the special wine.

Such methods are definitely not something an unknown person could use.

I thought I could find out what it was by relying on Gu Yuan, but I didn't expect this result.

Either there really is no problem, or this girl named Yunran is hiding something very, very well.

It seems that only by using the Xie family's secret service can we find out the truth.

Xie Xuzhi took out his phone, dialed a special number, and gave the Xie family's secret service an order to conduct a thorough investigation.

In the eyes of many people in Kyoto, he was a disgrace to the title of the eldest son of the Xie family. Even the other three families thought he was a discarded pawn.

Only a few members of the Xie family knew that even when it was certain that he was dying, the Xie family never considered changing the heir, which shows how important he was to the Xie family.

The timing of Yun Ran's appearance was too coincidental. He still suspected that the information had been leaked and that Yun Ran had been deliberately sent to him by someone with ulterior motives.
