Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"What do you want to do?!"

"..."

“I’m a good person,” Anran said.

But the other party clearly didn't believe it; who are you trying to fool?

Bad people always claim to be good people!

"alright."

Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll tell you.

After confirming that no one was following her, An Ran directly pulled up the 3D model of Ai Leixi on her bracelet.

"You know this person, right?"

The old man immediately took a half step back.

Even the hand holding the stick trembled slightly.

He quickly shook his head: "No, I..."

"Don't rush to deny it," An Ran said.

"Are you here to eliminate the root of the problem?" the old man said viciously.

To nip it in the bud?

There's a ghost.

"grandfather."

The little girl reached out to tug at someone's clothes.

"Do you know this person?" An Ran pulled up Juliana's 3D model again.

The old man shook his head.

Anran turned off Juliana's composition: "I have nothing to do with her. I just want to know what she did to you that made you so nervous?"

The old man was wary: "Who are you? How did you find me?"

"I want to investigate matters related to Enron."

The moment that name was mentioned, the old man and his adopted sister were so tense they could hardly breathe.

On Lush God Star, this name caused a sensation.

People like them who were connected to Anran were the ones who were questioned the most, but that was in the past. About a year later, no one questioned them anymore.

"I hope you can tell me what exactly happened back then." An Ran stared straight at them.

The old man stopped his stepsister from speaking, and glared at Anran: "Fine, I can tell you, but you must leave immediately after you've asked, and you are not allowed to hurt us."

“No problem.” An Ran smiled.

Chapter 05 Time Leaves No Trace

An Ran just desperately wanted a result.

Judging from the old man and her stepsister's behavior, she felt that there must be something wrong with that matter.

As the old man recounted his story, An Ran realized that this was indeed not unexpected.

"Because she couldn't find a way to make money and desperately needed a sum of money, An Yi had no choice but to borrow money from gang members who lent money at exorbitant interest rates. And that's how An Yi fell into their trap."

An Yi is the pirate princess's sworn sister, and now she's the woman carefully protecting the little girl.

His face was weathered, and when he spoke of things related to himself, a trace of resentment couldn't help but appear on his face.

"..."

According to the old man, he had known An Yi and An Ran for a long time and had taken care of the two sisters. Their friendship was formed at that time.

However, An Ran did not have this memory.

As expected, Ereshki also makes an appearance in the lost memory.

She found Anran and said she shouldn't stay in such a dilapidated little place, hoping Anran would come with her, but Anran refused Ailei's invitation.

Irene was not discouraged.

She seemed to think that her sincerity would surely move An Ran, and she would come over every few days.

These things happened before Anyi borrowed the money.

After a brief moment of relief, An Yi and An Ran's lives took a sharp turn for the worse.

Even before the debt repayment date arrived, gang members kept harassing them.

Moreover, they tampered with the IOU, increasing the amount due several dozen times.

No one dared to stand up and help them.

The elderly people who had taken good care of them were also threatened several times.

It feels like a waste of time to ask anyone for help.

This gang controls everything in the slum, and they have an ambiguous relationship with the government, so no one will come.

Eresh offered to help Anran, but only after everything was resolved and Anran could leave with her.

A shallow pool of water should not confine you.

But just as An Ran was considering this possibility, An Yi was taken away, and she was forced into a corner.

Fortunately, Ai Leixi stepped in and saved An Ran.

Afterwards, Anran, who still wanted to save Anyi, made tremendous efforts.

However, beneath the seemingly calm surface of the lake, undercurrents are surging.

“I saw that she had contact with those gang members.”

“She doesn’t know the relationship between me and you, otherwise I probably wouldn’t be standing here.”

"As for An Yi..."

The woman with a weathered face raised her head; she was in a very low mood.

"An Ran will probably never forgive me."

"Why do you say that?"

"I didn't want to say that at all, if that woman hadn't found me..."

Her voice trembled slightly with tears.

An Ran remained silent for a moment.

If what they say is true.

So while Irene helped the pirate princess, she was actually fueling the fire behind the scenes, and it's even possible that she orchestrated the loan behind the scenes.

The goal was to get himself to leave with her and to develop trust in her.

As for why Ai Leixi didn't get rid of An Yi, that's not inexplicable.

After meeting An Yi, An Ran, utterly disappointed in Lu Shenxing, slashed her right next to her.

The hope is that this will sever the relationship between the two.

The house collapsed in the fire after that, and perhaps she thought An Yi was dead.

After all, Eresh doesn't have a game system, so she can't determine whether a person is truly dead.

The miracles of life always unfold unexpectedly.

Moreover, that was more than a decade ago, and Irene was probably not nearly as powerful as she is now.

The old man then recounted what happened next.

An Yi crawled out of the rubble and was taken away by the police. She was not released until more than half a month later.

However, her eyesight had already deteriorated. At first, she could only see things blurry, and as time went on, her vision worsened until she became completely blind.

Life has always been tough, with many people coming to question me and I never lacking in strange looks.

But at least he survived.

She also raised her child.

It's more reassuring to have hope than to have bright eyes but see only gray.

Anran doubted whether they truly did not know Juliana.

But when such emotions arose, the memories that were brought up made her subconsciously want to deny this possibility.

She wondered why Juliana had erased that part of her memory.

This may involve subjective perception.

Assuming that part of her memory still exists, and out of trust in Elise, she would most likely think that An Yi and the others were lying.

Having lost this part of her memory, her opinion of Irene dropped several notches, and she became more receptive to what I said.

However, they were unaware that An Ran still possessed Chen An Ran's memories.

The joy derived from three overlapping memories is entirely different!

An Ran remained calm.

It's easy to tell whether An Yi's words are true or false.

Just tell her that you are Anran.

Anran made the same decision.

This was not a difficult thing for her.

When the pirate princess and An Yi parted ways, she was about the same size as An Yi.

Normally, An Yi would never know that An Ran could grow from a little bean sprout into an adult capable of performing brainwave manipulation.
