With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Ling Huan: There's no other information yet. One thing is certain: given Yun Xiuzi's background, she shouldn't know Gu magic. However, so many years have passed, we can't be sure if she learned Gu magic in the meantime.

Azhen didn't respond; she sensed that Ling Huan on the other end still had something to say.

Sure enough, Ling Huan's message came again a moment later: learning Gu techniques requires extremely high talent, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to even begin, especially for an adult with little education. But we still can't completely rule it out; what if Yun Xiuzi does have this talent? If Yun Xiuzi really did learn Gu techniques from someone else, it would be very difficult to trace her. As long as she doesn't confess, there's not much we can do to her. However, I have another guess.

Azhen replied this time: What guess?
Ling Huan: This Yun Xiuzi is not that Yun Xiuzi.

Upon seeing this sentence, A-Zhou was not surprised at all.

From the first time she met Yun Xiuzi, she noticed the other woman's special eyes, which were not like those of an ordinary middle-aged woman.

Ling Huan: It's simple to confirm if it's her. Yun Xiuzi and her son have relatives back in their hometown; we just need to get a paternity test done. We shouldn't bother Yun Xiuzi for now, but getting Lian Yang's blood is easy.

Lian Yang is currently staying at the hospital, which is incredibly convenient.

Ling Huan said all this because he wanted to greet Miss Xia first, since Lian Yang was the one she sent to the VIP ward.

A-Zhu had no reason not to agree.

She was also eager to know the result.

If Yun Xiuzhi really took someone else's place, what happened to the original Yun Xiuzhi?

Given the other party's ruthlessness, they would probably have met with certain death twenty years ago.

Ling Huan: Since Miss Xia has no objections, I'll arrange for people to take action. It's not good to call the police before we have evidence. Yun Xiuzi isn't an ordinary person; once she senses something's wrong and runs away, she'll be very difficult to find. I'll also arrange for people to look for clues in Yun Xiuzi's hometown; it would be best if we could find evidence.

A-Zhou understood Ling Huan's meaning: killing someone would result in a corpse.

Yun Xiuzi's hometown is by the sea, but the seaside is inhabited by people who depend on the sea for their livelihood and frequently go out to sea. If she killed someone and dumped the body into the sea, there's a high chance it would be discovered. In that case, her identity theft would be easily exposed.

The best course of action is to hide the body.

The best place to hide a body is, of course, home.

Seeing that the reply was only "okay," Ling Huan put down his phone, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Noticing that someone was watching, they looked up and saw Miao Yun and Miao Feng, who both looked serious.

They originally came to help Lian Yang with his medical check-up, but now that they've gotten involved in this kind of thing, they're definitely not planning to leave.

If it weren't for the rules they follow now, they would have rushed straight to Yun Xiuzi, grabbed her, and interrogated her. After all, she had already used Gu worms to harm people, so the Holy Gu Clan had reason to intervene.

But times have changed.

"If we could get Yun Xiuzi's hair, we could confirm her identity," Miao Yun said anxiously.

Miao Feng quickly nodded, agreeing that it made sense.

If Yun Xiuzi was indeed replaced, they suspect that the other person was the one who violated the rules of the Holy Gu Clan and abused Gu techniques back then.

Coincidentally, that person also disappeared without a trace after jumping into the sea, making it seem more and more likely.

"She's not simple. The fact that she managed to evade the two elders' inspection shows that she's capable and very vigilant. It's best not to alarm her at this time. We need to gather substantial evidence and not give her any chance to retaliate."

“Otherwise, if she has any chance to catch her breath, who knows what methods she might use, which could cause chaos,” Ling Huan said. “Elders, please don’t be anxious now.”

"Besides, that Miss Xia is very capable. I believe she won't let Yun Xiuzi and her son off easily." Miao Yun and Miao Feng exchanged a glance and finally relaxed.

They acknowledged one thing: that Miss Xia was indeed formidable, more so than Yun Xiuzi and more so than them. They just wondered who would be stronger if she clashed with the clan leader.

In the past hundred years, only one traitor emerged from their clan more than twenty years ago. No one from the clan has left the Holy Gu Clan, and no one knows who Miss Xia learned her Gu techniques from.

The news I heard from Ling Huan before was that Miss Xia was actually able to extract the offspring Gu, modify it, and put it into Lian Yang's body. This was no ordinary method; it seemed to be somewhat different from their Holy Gu Clan.

Is there another Gu clan in this world?
The world is so big, it's not impossible.

"Have you mentioned this to President Ling and President Meng?" Miao Yun suddenly remembered that Ruoyun Xiuzi was indeed replaced by Miao Xiu. She wondered if this would have any impact on Ling Sai and Meng Zixuan.

“They’re both busy with projects and aren’t in the country right now. Let’s talk about it when they come back,” Ling Huan said. He added that what happened back then was already done, and his parents were innocent. He believed that after so many years, they had gotten used to this way of getting along.

Even if Miao Xiu were to reappear, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

It's that Lian Yang. If that person is Miao Xiu, is it possible that they have some connection?
Thinking about this, Ling Huan was still not in a good mood.

"Perhaps we need to confirm whether Lian Yang and I have any relationship."

Upon hearing this, both Miao Yun and Miao Feng were startled and instantly understood what was going on.

Seeing that Ling Huan's expression remained unchanged, they felt a pang of regret. If Miao Xiu hadn't acted recklessly back then, Ling Huan wouldn't have suffered from congenital deficiencies. Such an outstanding young man, now sickly and frail, they wondered how long he would live. Every time they thought about it, they felt guilty.

The two were elders and knew a lot.

What impressed them even more was that, faced with such a predicament, the other party had given up the chance to recover his health. If they were in his position, they might not have been able to resist the temptation of the Life-and-Death Gu.

The existence of the Life-and-Death Gu was always a hidden danger, so when it was determined that Ling Huan was unwilling to use this method, the clan leader had already destroyed it.

However, the fact that Yun Xiuzi used the Life and Death Gu on Xia Zhen indicates that she hasn't completely eradicated him.

Even though there is no concrete evidence yet, several people are actually quite certain that Yun Xiuzi is Miao Xiu.

"How are you feeling today?" In the hospital, A-Zhen sat to one side and asked Lian Yang.

Also coming today were Lian Yang's three roommates. Meng Xuan came because he was curious about Lian Yang's performance.

Wu Jie really cares about Lian Yang and plans to come and see him.

As for Cao Zhicheng and Lian Yang, he wasn't that concerned. It was just that both of his roommates were coming, and he also had to curry favor with Meng Xuan, so he had to pretend to care about his roommates and had no choice but to come along.

"It's the same as always, don't worry," Lian Yang replied, though the feeling of weakness in his body made him uncomfortable.

At this moment, the nurse came over to draw blood from Lian Yang.

This is a procedure that happens every few days, after all, it's necessary to check on Lian Yang's situation.

Even though the cause of Lian Yang's illness cannot be found at present, the hospital has not given up. If the cause can be found, it may lead to a breakthrough in medicine.

Lian Yang didn't find it strange and cooperated fully.

Knowing he wouldn't die, he remained remarkably calm. (End of Chapter)
