[At first, I quite liked Xie Yuci. I always thought she was innocent. Jun Ziyu's disappearance as a child had nothing to do with her, and the suffering he endured for over twenty years had nothing to do with her. She could have felt absolutely no guilt. But after understanding the cause and effect, after enjoying a life of luxury for so many years, when you face the daughter of your biological parents who once treated you like a treasure, shouldn't you have a little gratitude for your love for her? How could you repay kindness with hatred and steal her new friend?]

[Yes, I was quite fond of her at first, but now I have completely turned against her.]

【I never liked it, but it turned bad.】

[I hated it from the beginning, and it turned from black to ink. ]

【…】

Jun Ziyu avoided the camera and saw that everyone in the comments was cursing Xie Yuci. He felt a little happy. The depressed mood that had been brewing for several months after returning to Jun's house was relieved as never before.

If Xie Yuci could be completely shattered, and everyone would sneer at her when they mentioned her, would no one laugh at her for not being as pretty as her, not having a better figure than her, not having a better education than her, not having better social etiquette than her, and not being as good as her in every aspect?

……

The group split up. Liao Fang, Xie Yuci, and two other civil servants took a car to a remote urban village.

After arriving at the local area, several people met with local civil servants and began to visit and search.

During this period, several people took turns to check the layout of various sky eyes. Due to the tight time, they also rested for one night in the local area.

The next day at noon, deputy team leader Dunhao called and asked them to go back after learning that nothing had been found.

A team gathered together, had lunch in an old urban village, and reported their results.

"..."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zheng Xian dismissed everyone and asked them to go back and rest, and kept a few key members to assign other tasks.

The two civil servants went back, and Xie Yuci stayed with Liao Fang.

Liao Fang really likes his current job. He always has a mysterious and secretive feeling about it, and he whispers his own guesses to Xie Yuci.

"He has two children, his parents are still alive, and his family is wealthy and prestigious. It's said that before he disappeared, he was very successful in his career. Why is he hiding in this shabby place? What's his secret? Also, is his wife and children dead or alive? Where are they?"

Xie Yuci: "..."

They all had guesses about the answer, and until there was solid evidence, no one dared to reveal the obvious answer.

Liao Fang suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Xie Yuci's body was unstable and fell forward due to inertia. Fortunately, he stabilized himself in time. He turned his head and stared at him coldly.

"Xiao Xie, do you think he might be hiding in these old residential buildings? We can just squat here and follow any suspicious individuals we see. We might even be able to solve the case!"

Liao Fang opened his eyes wide with excitement.

Xie Yuci: "..."

There are so many old residential buildings, can they keep an eye on them one by one?

Isn't this nonsense?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Liao Fang was disappointed, but unwilling to give up: "Xiao Xie, don't you want to pass the test?"

"Or are you really like what's being said online, participating in a civil service exam variety show with no real intention of passing the exam, but simply hoping to capitalize on the momentum and enter the entertainment industry?"

"I'm different from you. I come from an ordinary family. My parents are ordinary people, and my grandparents are old. They hope that we can find good jobs and help reduce the burden on the family in the future."

"I graduated this year and applied to several companies, but they all thought I was a newbie and useless..."

Xie Yuci listened to his chatter until the car fell completely silent. Then she spoke slowly, "Actually, you're not completely useless."

Liao Fang: “…”

"Quite eloquent."

Liao Fang: “…”

Amomum villosum pig heart!!

Xie Yuci withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, took out the small notebook he carried with him, told him the address, and asked him to navigate the car.

Liao Fang: “…”

No, we are all interns, why is she so arrogant?

Thinking that she had chosen him, Liao Fang's excitement instantly disappeared. He swallowed his muttering and stepped on the accelerator.

Xie Yuci closed his eyes and only opened them when he got to the destination and got off the car.

"What are we doing here?"

"Remember where this is?"

"Have we been here before?"

How could he not remember?

Liao Fang looked around in confusion, wondering if he had lost his memory. He remembered something and slapped his forehead hard.

"Is this... where Lin Bin's family lives?"

Lin Bin has a younger brother who was the person who reported the missing case. After Lin Bin disappeared, his younger brother and parents have been living here.

Liao Fang knew the approximate address, and someone from the team came over to find out the situation.

"Number 18? How do you know so clearly?"

Liao Fang was puzzled as to how she could accurately identify the location.

"I knew the approximate address. Someone from the team had been there before, and they mentioned in casual conversation that Lin Bin's family was very prestigious in this area. Their house was in the front row facing south, with a precious Huangshan Welcoming Pine tree planted in front. It was a perfect feng shui location. Yes, it's right here."

"This row is the front row, and they're all planted with pine trees. Those pine trees don't look cheap. How can you be sure it's this one?"

Liao Fang was still skeptical.

Xie Yuci stopped.

Liao Fang braked abruptly and stopped, looking puzzled.

“They are all pine trees, but this is the only true Huangshan Welcoming Pine species.”

Xie Yuci's voice was very soft.

Liao Fang: “…”

Later I realized that Xie Yuci was once a rich girl, so it’s not surprising that she is knowledgeable and experienced.

There are many talented people in the team, so it’s no surprise that they can recognize the Welcoming Pine in Huangshan.

Only he doesn't know.

Wow, he is really useless.

The Lin family did not expect the police to come to their house so late at night. Worried about upsetting the elderly man, they could only invite them to the pavilion outside for tea.

After showing his ID, Liao Fang talked to the Lin family to understand the situation.

Xie Yuci stood behind him, admiring the fish in the pond out of boredom.

Liao Fang was a talkative person, and Xie Yuci helped him understand the Lin family's network of relationships, the extent of their kinship, etc.

He knew the family tree's ancestors for eighteen generations, even the dynasty from which it originated and the location of the ancestral hall.

When the tea had faded, Liao finally stood up from his seat and said goodbye to the host before leaving.

Xie Yuci, like a fish just out of a pond, smiled and said, "Mr. Lin's home is quite nice, especially the Huangshan Welcoming Pine in front, which is now worth several million."

Lin Feng is well-known in the local area. He was fortunate enough to meet the Jun family and recognized her as the eldest daughter of the Jun family. It is not surprising that she could tell the value of the Welcoming Pine.

"Yes... My brother put a lot of thought into this tree and bought it from a client. He's spent over a million on its upkeep over the years. Although it's just an object, it represents my parents' thoughts and longings. Its value has long since surpassed its own."

Lin Feng sighed.

"Really? The villas were designed by Mr. Lin Bin himself?"

Xie Yuci was surprised.
