The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Zhou Yanhuan excitedly rushed to Mr. Hilbert-Z's comment section, quickly grabbed the first spot, and left a brilliant comment.

However, when she eagerly awaited a response from her brother, there was no response. She became suspicious and checked again, only to find that her brother was completely unresponsive.

So Zhou Yanhuan began browsing other users' comments, trying to find some clues.

Gradually, a startling fact surfaced—some speculated that her brother might be suffering from depression! This news made Zhou Yanhuan's heart tighten, but at the same time, an indescribable sense of unease welled up in her heart.

Perhaps it was because of that innate spiritual connection between compatriots that Zhou Yanhuan firmly believed that things were not so simple.

Despite all the signs pointing to this conclusion, a voice deep inside her kept telling her, "Something must be wrong!" This intuition grew stronger, as if suggesting that she uncover the hidden truth behind it all.

In fact, from beginning to end, Zhou Yanhuan never had the slightest doubt that Mr. Hilbert-Z was her biological brother. She firmly believed that the person with whom she shared blood ties was right before her eyes.

Now, faced with this sudden influx of information and feelings, Zhou Yanhuan fell into deep thought...

Zhou Yanhuan opened the Xingbo backend with practiced ease, her gaze quickly scanning the numerous unread messages before finally settling on the private message from Mr. Hilbert-Z. Without hesitation, she opened it, her fingers flying across the keyboard, sending a short and direct message: "Hello, brother, could you please provide your personal contact information?"

Surprisingly, Hilbert did not seem surprised or resistant to Zhou Yanhuan's request.

Without any hesitation, he readily shared his WeChat contact information with Zhou Yanhuan.

Zhou Yanhuan was overjoyed to receive the reply. She immediately switched to WeChat, entered the number she had just received, and clicked the "Add Friend" button.

However, while waiting for the other party to accept her friend request, Zhou Yanhuan was not idle. While keeping her eyes glued to her phone screen, anticipating the notification sound indicating that the friend request had been successfully added, she couldn't help but pick up her other phone and send a message to Lu Chengzhou.

The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful. [Old Lu, you'd better keep a close eye on what's going on online. I'm logging off now, I have other important things to do. If there's any further news, you have to let me know immediately!]

Lu Chengzhou: [Alright, my little darling! You dropped such a bombshell, leaving us all dizzy and bewildered, and then just walked away.]

Lu Chengzhou [I said, didn't you keep saying you had urgent business? Could there possibly be anything more important right now than what you've been revealing online?]

The peach blossoms are in full bloom, their beauty dazzling! [Absolutely! Let me tell you, my little brother has shown up! I'm going to go talk to him right away. So, compared to my little brother, all these trivial matters are nothing. My little brother is more important than anything else right now!]

Lu Chengzhou: [What? No way, my goodness! I never knew you were such a devoted brother-complex! Wow, this is truly an eye-opener, I've never seen anything like it before!]

The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful. [Lu Chengzhou, shut up! Why are you staring at something so gossipy?]

Lu Chengzhou seemed to sense that his little darling was angry.

Lu Chengzhou: [Yes, sir. Huan-jie.]

At this critical moment, as if the wheel of fate had begun to turn, Mr. Hilbert-Z accepted Zhou Yanhuan's expectant friend request without hesitation! At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world became exceptionally quiet.

Zhou Yanhuan's heart raced instantly. Her palms sweated with nervousness, and her fingers trembled slightly as she cautiously tapped the mysterious and anticipated chat interface between the two of them. The screen before her seemed to become a mirror, reflecting the excitement and unease deep within her heart.

Perhaps it was the bittersweet feeling of longing for home that made Zhou Yanhuan hesitant, but when she realized that the person opposite her was her beloved brother, whom she had thought of day and night, all her words seemed to get stuck in her throat, and she didn't know where to begin. She stared blankly at the phone screen, her mind filled with countless thoughts, but she couldn't form a single complete sentence.

Zhou Yanhuan gripped her phone tightly, as if holding a priceless gem, afraid she might shatter it at any moment. She frantically tapped the keyboard on the chat interface, typing a line of text only to delete it quickly, then retyping it, only to find it unsatisfactory again, and so on… repeating this process multiple times.

Time ticked by, and finally, after a long period of torment, Zhou Yanhuan took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and pressed the send button, sending out her first conversation with her brother.

The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful. [Hello brother, I am your sister Zhou Yanhuan. You can call me by my full name or my nickname Zhenzhen.]

Hilbert [Hello, my sister, I'm your brother. I love the name you gave me. My English name is Hilbert.]

The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful. [I'm glad you like it. Although we haven't met, it feels like you've never left me. Thank you for being my brother again, thank you for coming back to my side.]

Hilbert: [I should thank your sister. Thank you for always remembering me. It's because we both care about each other that we've become siblings again.]

Hilbert: [Don't think too much about it. Let bygones be bygones. As long as I live in this world, I will never let you suffer any more injustice.]

Zhou Yanhuan stared intently at the screen, her gaze fixed on the last message Hilbert had just sent. Her emotions were incredibly complex, as if stirred by an invisible force.

An indescribable sense of unease welled up inside me, but at the same time, a feeling of warmth and gratitude also surged deep within me.

This conflicting emotion left Zhou Yanhuan feeling very confused. She couldn't help but frown, trying to sort out her thoughts.

What could have caused this feeling? She pondered to herself, trying to recall her past interactions with Hilbert and every detail of this message.

However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she still couldn't pinpoint the exact problem.

Despite her doubts, Zhou Yanhuan didn't reveal them. She knew she couldn't easily expose her true feelings, especially to someone as close as her brother.

So she took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and pretended to continue chatting with her brother as if nothing had happened.

In the ensuing conversation, Zhou Yanhuan tried her best to maintain a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. However, only she knew that her heart was still troubled by the strange yet touching news, and she could not calm down for a long time...

The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful. [Hmm, let it all pass. By the way, brother, which country are you in now?]

Hilbert: [I'm in the Jade Continent, currently holding an art exhibition, and can't return to you for the time being.]

The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful. [No, important matters are more important; we have plenty of time.]

Hilbert seemed frozen in place, remaining silent for a long time ever since receiving the message from Zhou Yanhuan, as if time had stood still.

This unusual silence aroused Zhou Yanhuan's suspicions. She couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that her brother Hilbert had some unspeakable secret that he hadn't revealed?

Although Zhou Yanhuan was also filled with worries, she did not rush to show them.

After all, she and this brother had only known each other for a short time and were still strangers to each other, so she was unwilling to pry too much into his private affairs.

Although they are biological siblings, years of separation have made them seem like strangers when they reunite. Therefore, giving each other some personal space might be more beneficial for their future relationship.

Time passed slowly, about ten minutes later. Finally, Hilbert sent another message, breaking the long and anxious silence...

Hilbert: [Yes, my sister is right. We have plenty of time together.]

Zhou Yanhuan tried her best to conceal her true feelings and engaged in a conversation with Hilbert that lasted for more than ten minutes. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was experiencing an indescribable turmoil in her heart.

Ultimately, due to Hilbert's other commitments, the two had to part ways.

However, after this seemingly ordinary conversation, Zhou Yanhuan was left with a lingering sense of unease.

She tried to find the source of this feeling, but was lost in a fog, unable to know why. But her keen intuition clearly told her that it was all related to her dear brother Hilbert.

Zhou Yanhuan racked her brains, trying to figure out what might be causing this unease. What could possibly be related to Hilbert?

What puzzled her even more was that this matter could cause her such strong unease. Faced with the mystery before her, Zhou Yanhuan felt helpless.

At this moment, Zhou Yanhuan decided to put aside this trouble for the time being and focus her attention on her work.

She sat in front of her laptop, her fingers dancing across the keyboard like nimble dancers. Strings of dense characters appeared on the screen, like a mysterious code, dazzling the eye.

What these codes truly represent is perhaps only truly known to Zhou Yanhuan herself. In reality, she is using code to hide certain important information and strengthen the security measures regarding your two brothers' data.

Since China's top-secret protective measures, which can be described as airtight and foolproof, are so excellent.

Although the Ninth Legion acted swiftly as soon as the mysterious young man appeared, all the information that could be made public—except for those related to the painter that were not encrypted—was placed into Zhou Yanhuan's highly confidential file.

However, even so, Zhou Yanhuan still felt a faint unease deep in her heart, as if some inexplicable premonition lingered in her mind.

After much deliberation, she finally decided to add another layer of security to ensure her peace of mind. Thus, after more than twenty minutes of tense operation, Zhou Yanhuan successfully completed the encryption of this critical information.

After finishing all this, Zhou Yanhuan gently closed her laptop and slowly walked into the bedroom with slightly heavy steps.

After all, she had just experienced a long, non-stop flight of two or three hours, was bombarded by a deluge of online revelations, and then found her brother and the complicated emotional entanglements that followed. All of this weighed heavily on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

At this moment, Zhou Yanhuan felt utterly exhausted, as if all her strength had been drained away.

She climbed weakly onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep just seconds later. Unbeknownst to Zhou Yanhuan, a tremendous crisis was quietly approaching, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike…
