After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"..."

Shen Yanhui's heart skipped a beat, and a cold, numb sensation suddenly shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

"...Why would I lie to you?" She frowned deeply, deliberately feigning impatience. "Hey, this isn't just your mission, why would I lie to you? If the mission fails, we'll both be wiped out by the system, no one can escape!"

[Hehe.] The mechanical female voice chuckled twice, its meaning ambiguous.

[Hopefully, the host truly understands this.]

Shen Yan rolled her eyes at her: "...What nonsense are you talking about? This mission concerns my own life, of course I'm prepared!"

Mechanical female voice: [Hmm, since the host is prepared, I'm relieved.]

"Hmm?" Shen Yanhui narrowed her eyes slightly. "Your tone doesn't sound reassuring to me at all."

Mechanical female voice: [What you perceive as meaning depends on your own state of mind. When your confidence is low, the words you hear will naturally take on an additional layer of meaning.]

"..." Shen Yanhui drove off immediately.

"What are you saying... I can't understand a word."

"By the way, shall we begin our third transaction?"

Mechanical female voice: [Does the host still want to borrow favor points from me in exchange for information?]

Shen Yan replied, "That's right. I need to borrow five favor points to exchange information, but I can earn ten favor points from Pei Xingzhi for the information I get in return! It's a sure-fire way to make money, so why don't I keep exchanging?"

【Okay.】The mechanical female voice, unusually, didn't say much and readily gave her five points of favorability.

[Host, your credited favor points have been credited to your account. Please check.]

Shen Yan checked her system inventory and, seeing that the favorability rating had indeed reached the required level, immediately used it.

[System, I'll change the background information of those thirteen people.]

Mechanical female voice: [One level of favorability can only be exchanged for information about one person. Host, please select the five people you most want to investigate.]

"Tsk..." Shen Yan Hui was dissatisfied. "One favorability rating can only be used to check one person. I have to say, your system is too stingy."

The mechanical female voice said helplessly: "Host, I didn't set the rules for exchanging favorability points, so I can't change anything."

"Alright then," Shen Yan relented. "Five it is. I'll carefully select these five people when I get home."

Mechanical female voice: [Okay.]

Shen Yan noticed something off about her tone and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, why are you talking so formally today?"

Mechanical female voice: [No, host is overthinking it.]

"Really?" Shen Yan Hui was somewhat skeptical.

Mechanical female voice: [Yes.]

“…Okay.” Shen Yan had a lot of things to do and was too lazy to think about it any further.

Meanwhile, the Qin family.

Ding Fenglian had already taken a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Qin Sisi was sitting in the living room, applying ice to her face.

"Ouch...it hurts so much!" She grimaced as she looked at herself in the mirror, and the more she looked, the more she wanted to cry.

She loved her face the most, spending millions on it every year. But today, Pei Lingxuan and Song Yihuan left such unsightly handprints on her face!

"Damn it!" She couldn't swallow her anger any longer and cursed, "You two little bitches, how dare you treat me like this! When I find my chance, I'll make sure you're both disfigured! I'll make you the ugliest monsters in Yun City!"

"Sisi".

Ding Fenglian came down the stairs and quickly walked to Qin Sisi's side, looking at her face with concern: "How are you? Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts!" Qin Sisi looked up at her, her lips trembled, and she burst into tears. "Mom, my face hurts so much! It's covered in slap marks from those bitches. I look so ugly!"

"It's not bad." Ding Fenglian took the ice pack from her hand and gently applied it to the wounds on her face. "Sisi is the prettiest girl in the whole Yuncheng. No one can compare to her."

Qin Sisi: "But these handprints are so ugly!"

"It's alright, these marks will fade soon," Ding Fenglian gently comforted her. "If Sisi really can't stand it, then Mom will take you to a beauty salon and let them treat it for you, okay?"

"...Let's forget it." Qin Si thought for a moment, but did not accept Ding Fenglian's suggestion.

"In this situation, I'm not in the mood to go to a beauty salon. Mom, could my brother really like Xie Zhaoyuan?"

The mere mention of this incident made Ding Fenglian feel as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Sigh..." She sighed dejectedly, her face clouded with worry. "Although your brother hasn't admitted it directly, I can guess from his frequent silences that it's probably true."

"He really has fallen in love with his own sister, just as the outside world says."

"...What?!" Qin Sisi was terrified and jumped up from the sofa.

Caught off guard, Ding Fenglian's ice pack was knocked away by the impact.

But she had no time to pay attention to that, she just kept sighing: "Sigh... No wonder, no wonder Wushuang is over thirty and still won't find a partner. I've introduced so many excellent girls to him, but he doesn't pay attention to any of them."

"I thought he was career-oriented and wanted to wait until the Qin Group was more developed before considering marriage, but I never expected that he had already fallen in love with his own younger sister."

"But, but this won't do!" Qin Sisi stamped her feet anxiously. "Although Xie Zhaoyuan has been recognized by the Xie family, everyone in Yuncheng knows that she used to be my brother's sister. If it's proven that my brother liked her, he will definitely be branded as an incestuous person!"

"Dad won't let him get away with this either!"

Ding Fenglian: "That's why I'm worried! This child has locked himself in Jingcheng and won't tell his family anything. I want to ask him, but I don't know how to start."

"What else can we do? Just ask him directly!" Qin Sisi picked up her phone from the sofa, found Qin Wushuang's WeChat, and sent him a voice message.

"This matter is of utmost importance, and we must handle it seriously! Mom, Xie Zhaoyuan's disappearance is causing quite a stir right now. If the special investigation team really finds my brother involved, then our Qin family is finished!"

"This..." Ding Fenglian pinched her palm, truly frightened by what she had said.

She held her phone, waiting for Qin Wushuang to answer. As soon as Qin Wushuang said "Hello" on the other end of the line, she decisively shoved the phone into Ding Fenglian's hand.

Ding Fenglian turned on the speakerphone and forced a smile as she spoke, "Hello, Wushuang, it's Mom."

"Mom?" Qin Wushuang's voice was a little puzzled. "Why are you calling me using Sisi's WeChat?"

Ding Fenglian looked at Qin Sisi and made up a random excuse: "My phone died, it's charging upstairs."

"Oh." Qin Wushuang didn't suspect anything. "Mom, didn't you just call me? Why are you calling again?"
