The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Although it's just picking up trash, it's not an easy task to do so in a slum.

Because Gu Ran isn't the only one who makes a living by scavenging; there are other children, older children, and even adults.

Faced with so much competition, Gu Ran, with her small arms and legs, was no match for them.

Moreover, although the slums are large, not every area is suitable for scavenging. Generally, there are trash cans near some main roads, and the probability of finding useful trash is higher in these places. However, these places are also important targets for competition.

Watching Gu Ran skillfully rummage through the trash cans on the screen and then escape before the older kids could teach him a lesson, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

"Although this tyrant cruelly rules the Human Alliance, it must be admitted that his rise from a homeless child in a slum who made a living by scavenging garbage to the overall ruler of the Human Alliance is indeed a legend."

"Yes, even for those who have had access to various resources since childhood, it is extremely rare for them to grow to our level of strength. It is truly remarkable that he was able to rise from a homeless child in the slums to become the powerful Chief Executive. His strength is overwhelming, which is truly admirable."

"So what if he's powerful? So what if he's a legend? Isn't he still a tyrant? Perhaps it's because he grew up in a slum that he's so wicked. He was already corrupt from the start!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Gu Ran was indeed a legend, but a legend that inspired fear.

Childhood has a profound impact on a person. Perhaps it was because he grew up in a chaotic and sinful place like a slum that he developed a wicked personality later in life.

Gu Qingqing remained silent.

Was it because he was exposed to the evils of the slums when he was a child that he became that feared tyrant?

Seeing Gu Qingqing remain silent, Lin Fan's mind raced, and he spoke up:

"Not entirely. Even among those who come from the slums, there are those who remain untainted by their surroundings. Take Qingqing, for example. Although she also comes from the slums, she has never done anything evil! On the contrary, she was able to put aside her own family to help us overthrow that tyrant."

"In my opinion, some people are born to do evil. No matter what their background is, they are destined to become people who do all kinds of evil. Obviously, that tyrant is such a person."

People at the scene immediately echoed this sentiment.

There are still many people who want to befriend Lin Fan, who is very likely to become the next president.

Lin Fan smiled at Gu Qingqing, hoping to see her gratitude, but found that Gu Qingqing seemed oblivious to the conversations around her, still staring intently at the screen.

Lin Fan's smile faltered.

In the light screen, Gu Ran had finished a day of picking up trash and returned to his cramped "home".

"Wait a minute, aren't that tyrant and Lady Gu Qingqing siblings? Why is he the only one here?"

Indeed, Gu Ran was alone throughout the entire scene.

There was no Gu Qingqing, nor any other family members.

It is obvious that Gu Ran is an orphan.

"Yes, and the tyrant's parents didn't appear either, so..."

Everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Gu Qingqing.

If Gu Ran's parents had Gu Qingqing later, then Gu Ran would have needed to have parents first.

Gu Ran's background was a complete mystery to everyone. Before this, they did not know that Gu Ran came from a poor area and was an orphan.

At this moment, everyone had a guess in their minds, but intimidated by Gu Qingqing's strength, none of them said it out loud.

Sure enough, new changes soon appeared on the screen.

Gu Ran, who had been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and left his residence.

Following the moonlight, Gu Ran walked to a place a few dozen meters away.

There was a baby in swaddling clothes crying under the moon.

4. This baby could not possibly be Gu Qingqing!

Gu Ran looked at the baby at the corner, quite surprised.

This was the first time he had encountered something like this.

Gu Ran immediately searched the surrounding area to see if the baby's parents were still nearby.

After searching for a while, Gu Ran found no sign of anyone else nearby, and he realized that the baby had been completely abandoned.

In slums, many people struggle to survive, and babies like this would be a complete burden.

The last thing the baby's parents did for her was not to completely cut off her life, nor to abandon her in some remote place, but to leave her on a street corner.

When the daytime comes and there are more people here, perhaps a kind person will adopt the baby.

However, the more likely scenario is that no one will care...

Gu Ran squatted down to examine the baby.

The baby's skin, which should have been fair and tender, was yellowish, indicating malnutrition. Its hair was also sparse, and it lacked any of the cuteness a baby should have.

"Are you hungry?"

Gu Ran thought for a moment, then turned around and went back to his residence, taking out a piece of bread and a bottle of water.

Gu Ran returned to the baby's side, tore the bread into a small piece, moistened it slightly with water, and put it into the baby's mouth.

The moment the wet fingers touched the baby's lips, the baby immediately sucked on them, and once the bread was in the baby's mouth, the baby's crying immediately subsided.

Seeing that it was effective, Gu Ran quickly tore off a few more small pieces and fed them to the baby.

On the moonlit street, a thin little boy squatted on the ground, gently feeding an infant, creating a strangely heartwarming scene.

......

In front of the triangular crystal pyramid.

Someone was speaking in a low voice.

"That baby must be Lady Gu Qingqing. I never imagined that Lady Gu Qingqing was picked up by that tyrant."

"So that tyrant and Lady Gu Qingqing are not blood-related siblings. No wonder he showed no brotherly or sisterly affection and ruthlessly plotted to seize Lady Gu Qingqing's superpower crystal core."

"That makes sense now. No wonder this tyrant is so heartless and cruel."

Gu Qingqing frowned as she watched Gu Ran gently feeding the baby on the screen.

She was also surprised and doubtful for a moment, as Gu Ran had never said that she and she were not biological siblings.

However, judging from the light screen, it seems that she was picked up by Gu Ran at this time.

So we're not actually siblings after all?

That's why you can be so heartless...

Gu Qingqing's heart was in turmoil.

"Impossible! That baby could never be Qingqing!"

Suddenly a voice rang out, speaking with unwavering certainty.

Seeing that everyone's eyes had turned to him, Lin Fan continued, "Have you all forgotten? The inheritance of supernatural power cores can only occur between blood relatives! Even if someone who is not a blood relative takes another person's supernatural power core, they cannot integrate it into their own body because of the different bloodlines, and they will be rejected!"

"Why did that tyrant try to seize Qingqing's ability crystal core? I think it's simply because he coveted Qingqing's rare spatial ability and wanted to integrate it into her ability crystal core so that he could also obtain spatial ability."

"If they're not blood relatives, what's the point of him trying to steal Qingqing's crystal core? It's completely pointless!"

"You all see, I reckon either this baby is someone else, or the baby died in an accident, or that tyrant never actually adopted the baby!"

"After all, his own life is precarious, so how could he possibly adopt this baby? Feeding the baby was just a sudden act of kindness. Perhaps he hasn't been too affected by the bad things in the slums yet. Once he faces reality, his evil nature will definitely take over his heart again."

His argument was logical, well-founded, and convincing.

At least most people present believed this conjecture, because they also remembered that the superpower crystal core is the source of a superpowered person's power and can be integrated into another person through special methods, but the two people must be blood relatives with close blood ties.

One of the A-level ability users hesitated and said, "But that tyrant seems to be an orphan. If Lady Gu Qingqing wasn't adopted by him, then where is she right now?"

This is indeed a problem.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I think the tyrant later must have found his parents. After all, he has a long life ahead of him. Perhaps this can also explain why the tyrant and Qingqing, although they are siblings, are different in good and evil."

"It turns out I misunderstood. It seems that Qingqing didn't come from a poor area like that tyrant. Qingqing's kind nature must have been influenced by her parents."

Finally, Lin Fan looked at Gu Qingqing gently.

Everyone nodded in understanding; this was indeed a very reasonable guess.

Gu Qingqing's eyes also flickered slightly.

She looked at the screen and said softly, "So, I should be able to see my parents later, right?"

What touched her about Lin Fan's conjecture was the part about her parents. She had no memory of her parents at all, only of continuous learning and the strict teaching of her teachers.

She desperately wanted to know what her parents looked like and what they were like.

Lin Fan was taken aback. Gu Qingqing didn't acknowledge his praise of her and was instead concerned with other things, which made him feel a little annoyed.

He nodded firmly, taking credit for himself, saying, "Of course, Qingqing, you keep watching. I think my prediction is definitely correct; it's the most reasonable explanation at the moment!"

In the light screen.

Gu Ran fed the baby for a while, and when he saw that the baby had finally stopped sucking its fingers and was full, he hesitated for a moment.

After putting away the bread and water, Gu Ran glanced at the baby on the ground, then returned to her residence, lay down on the bed, and seemed to fall asleep again.

......

Lin Fan said with a hint of pride, "You see, I was right. That baby wasn't Qingqing. It seems that the tyrant didn't adopt the baby at all, but just took a moment of kindness and then abandoned the baby."

Someone chimed in, "That baby is so pitiful, abandoned twice in such a short time."
