"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen slowly straightened his back. His eyes moved slightly. "What's going on?"
"Although the incident happened a long time ago and the internet was not developed back then, many traces have been erased. However, we still managed to find some clues." Yunshan took out a stack of photos. "Ying Yuexuan's biological mother, Jing Hongzhen, and Ying Zhenting were originally engaged, but Old Lady Ying stopped the marriage when the Jing Family was in decline.
"Coincidentally, the Zhong Family came to propose a marriage, and Zhong Manhua also fell in love with Ying Zhenting. Old Lady Ying decided to let the two of them get married.
"In order to prevent Jing Hongzhen from pestering her, Old Lady Ying gave Jing Hongzhen five million dollars and asked her to leave the country."
Yunshan pointed at the photos and continued, "But coincidentally, 19 years ago, Ying Zhenting met Jing Hongzhen again after a business trip. It was also at that time that they crossed paths again."
"Ying Yuexuan was also born after that. Her actual date of birth should be June 29, 2002."
"This time, Jing Hongzhen did tamper with Young Master Ying's car."
"Interesting," Fu Yunshen said faintly. "Keep it well. Find a time to send it to Family Ying."
"Okay, I'll go now." Yunshan nodded and gloated. "I wonder if Mrs. Ying will be hospitalized again when she finds out."
"Not now." Fu Yunshen tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Let Yaoyao finish her college entrance examination in peace. Don't let irrelevant people bother her."
When Ying Zijin graduated from high school, they would have to leave Shanghai.
The Capital was not a place where Family Ying could enter as they wished.
Yunshan thought about it and agreed.
Otherwise, Zhong Manhua might cling onto Miss Ying and not let go.
She was also Miss Ying's biological mother, so there were some things that she couldn't be too harsh on.
Yunshan kept the photos and went down again.

After recuperating for half a month, Ying Tianlu was able to walk again.
After confirming that he was fine, he took out the phone number that Wenren Shan had given him and called it.
"Master Wenren, thank you so much." Ying Tianlu said, "Just as you said, I had a fatal car accident. If it weren't for the pouch you gave me that saved my life, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to talk to you anymore."
Wenren Shan paused, and his voice became serious. "Mr. Ying, are there any masters around you?"
Ying Tianlu was stunned. "Beside me?"
"Perhaps Mr. Ying doesn't know," Wenren Shan said. "With my ability, it's not enough to help you avoid this disaster."
"You must have met someone even more powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to be safe and sound just by relying on technology alone."
Ying Tianlu fell silent. "I'm sorry, Master Wenren. I really don't know what you're talking about, but I still want to thank you. “
He ended the call and took out his phone to book a flight to Continent O.
Three days ago, Old Mr. Zhong had already gone to Continent O with Ying Zijin.
He originally wanted to go with them, but he was ordered to rest for a few more days.
May 15th, the International Finals officially began.
It would be broadcasted worldwide.
Ying Tianlu changed his clothes, glanced at his watch, and walked out.
No matter what, it was more important than his sister.
**
At the same time.
Imperial Capital.
Feng Shui Alliance.
After Wenren Shan ended the call with Ying Tianlu, he hurriedly went to find President Xiao Bai.
After listening to him, Xiao Bai was also very surprised. "Really?"
"President, it's absolutely true." Wenren Shan said. "According to my calculations, Mr. Ying would have an accident this month. But now that April is over, he's still alive and hasn't suffered any fatal injuries."
Ying Tianlu's car accident happened on April 20th.
Today was already May 5th.
Xiao Bai's expression gradually became serious. He murmured, "Could it be that besides Senior Diwu, there's another master who can change fate?"
Reading fate and changing fate were two different things.
Reading fate was just calculating fate and writing it down.
Changing fate, on the other hand, was changing the person's fate.
Like them, they could read fate.
But in terms of changing fate, at most, they could help the poor earn money or make an eighteenth-tier celebrity succeed in becoming famous.
But it was impossible to encounter such a life and death calamity.
After so many years, the only person Xiao Bai had met who could change fate was the head of the Diwu family, Diwu Chuan.
But correspondingly, Diwu Chuan's health was extremely poor. He was hanging on by his last breath, and it was the kind that couldn't be reversed.
Because of changing fate, his health deteriorated, but it was completely different from being sick.
"President, do you need to check the people around him?" Wenren Shan hesitated for a moment. "To help him change fate, they must also care about him very much."
There was a certain price to pay for changing fate. If it wasn't a close relative, who would help others change fate?
"No need." Xiao Bai waved his hand. "You're thinking too much. For a master of this level, changing fate is done secretly. You won't be able to find out."
Wenren Shan sighed. "You're right."
"I'll go find Senior Diwu." Xiao Bai nodded. "You take care of the alliance first."
Wenren Shan nodded and sent him out.

On the other side.
Continent O.
Ying Zijin was the first batch of contestants from Hua.
Like Hua, the other countries also sent their contestants directly to the international competition.
And those who passed the semi-finals and obtained the qualifications for the competition would all arrive at the competition venue on the 10th.
The ISC International Finals were held in a university city in Continent O.
This university city was a real city, covering an area of 1,600 square kilometers.
Other than Norton University, the other two top three universities in the world were also here.
This included several top laboratories in the world.
The whole world attached great importance to the ISC International Finals. Not only would it be broadcasted globally, but the apartments prepared for the contestants were also the best.
Three meals a day were personally prepared by chefs from Michelin three-star restaurants.
Teng Yunmeng was not used to Western food, so she ordered beef rice in golden soup and sat down with Ying Zijin in a corner of the cafeteria.
There were not many people in Hua, and at a glance, all of them were foreigners or mixed-race.
There were more than ten students at the table next to them, and they were chatting with each other.
"It's a pity that the mysterious number one won't be coming." A student said, "I heard that the organizing committee personally sent an invitation online, but it was like throwing a stone into the ocean."
"No way? Even though it's anonymous, it's only for us. How can the organizing committee not see who's answering the questions? "
"I heard about this too. The organizing committee can't see it because it's also encrypted. Think about it, the number one on the overall leaderboard, how bad can his computer skills be?"
"With his skills, he should be the chief hacker of the Anonymous Hacker Alliance, right? Good thing he's not coming, or else it would be a massacre. "
Hearing this, another student sneered. "You're thinking too much. With Irna here, it's useless no matter who comes."
Irna was only seventeen years old this year, and she was already a researcher in a top laboratory.
Even the scientists were in awe of her knowledge.
She was a prodigy, and not just anyone could compare to her.
Another student said, "I think the number one on the overall leaderboard is afraid of Irna's challenge, so he's not coming. Otherwise, he'll embarrass Hua."
These students were all from Ilan Public School, and they were conversing in their mother tongue.
Teng Yunmeng's English was very good, so she naturally understood.
She frowned and felt uncomfortable. "That Irna, is she really that good?"
"Probably," Ying Zijin said calmly. "I haven't met her yet, so I don't know her real strength."
Since the beginning of the ISC competition, Zuo Li had repeatedly emphasized that she should pay attention to Irna.
Because Irna had been hypnotized to return to normal, Yu Xuesheng said that he would personally come to the international finals to see what was going on.
"Zijin, do you think the number one on the overall leaderboard is participating in the competition for the prize money?" Teng Yunmeng suddenly thought of a possibility. "Otherwise, why would she deliberately hide her identity?"
Unlike the students from Ilan Public School, they at least knew that the number one on the overall leaderboard was a streamer from Shark Streaming.
Ying Zijin looked up and said calmly, "You have a good eye."
Teng Yunmeng: "???"
"Tomorrow, the teachers here will take us to visit their laboratories." Teng Yunmeng sighed. "I really don't want to be with those students. Look at how they look down on us."
Ying Zijin didn't care about this. She wiped her hands and said, "Don't worry, the results will be revealed in the competition."
At this moment, her phone rang.
Ying Zijin looked down and tapped on it.
It was a message from Helvin in Chinese.
[Ying, I heard that you've come to Continent O and are still in the university town. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Do you have time to come to my laboratory?]
Helvin was obsessed with Hua culture.
After returning from Hua, he began to learn Chinese. He would ask her if he encountered any problems.
Ying Zijin calculated the time and replied.
[Okay, I'll be there tomorrow.]
Helvin replied quickly.
[Then I'll send someone to pick you up.]
A minute later, Helvin sent another message.
[The laboratory has approved you as a researcher. Although you said that you might come over after graduation, it's convenient to have an additional title. Then you can extract a lot of information.]
Ying Zijin's eyes narrowed slightly.
This was indeed what she needed.
[Thank you, professor.]
After sending the message to Helvin, she stood up and said, "Mengmeng, let's go."
Teng Yunmeng put away the plates and left.
**
In the afternoon.
In Hu City.
In the Family Ying Mansion.
Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting helped Ying Yuexuan pack her luggage and prepared to send her to Continent O. She would stay there for two days before going to the university town.
"Xiao Xuan, don't feel pressured." Zhong Manhua closed the suitcase. "You're already very good. If you don't win, I'll be very happy."
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, mom."
Ever since she found out that she was an illegitimate daughter, she had been restless.
However, more than a month had passed. Zhong Manhua didn't know either. She was relieved.
"Your mom is right." Ying Zhenting gave a rare smile. "After the competition, you still have to take the college entrance exam. You must rest well."
Ying Yuexuan glanced at Ying Zhenting with mixed feelings.
The family of three picked up their suitcases and prepared to leave for the car.
At this moment, the door of the Family Ying Mansion was knocked open.
In an instant, more than ten people came in. They were all dressed in black. They were tall and strong and looked very imposing.
Whether it was Ying Zhenting or Zhong Manhua, they had never seen such a scene before. They were stunned for a moment.
The man in the lead didn't look at them. He just pointed at Ying Yuexuan and said to the people behind him, "That's her. Take her away."
Two black-robed men stepped forward and immediately restrained Ying Yuexuan. They didn't show any mercy to the fairer sex and dragged her out.
"Who … who are you?" Zhong Manhua's expression changed. "Why are you taking my daughter? How dare you break into my house?! "
Where were the servants in the yard? Why didn't they hear anything?
Ying Yuexuan was also very flustered. Her eyes were red.
She had been very careful.
Ever since her identity as a fake daughter was exposed, she had been very restrained. She even avoided Ying Zijin, let alone in front of her.
Ying Zhenting was even more furious. "Let go!"
He stepped forward and tried to pull Ying Yuexuan back.
However, one of the men in black only glanced at him and raised his leg to kick him.
Ying Zhenting was kicked more than ten meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhong Manhua's face was even paler.
"There's no reason." The man put his hands behind his back and smiled. "Your daughter's birthday is on March 24th. She was born at one minute and one second. Because of this, we have to take her away."
"No … No, her birthday is not on March 24th!" Zhong Manhua didn't understand what the man meant, but she blurted out, "She's not!"
The man heard this and stopped. His eyes were cold. "She's not?"
"No, she's not!" Zhong Manhua grasped at straws. "She's not my biological daughter. Everyone in Hucheng knows. You can check it out."
