The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 171: 165 The truth is revealed! [Update 1]

Zhong Manhua’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she didn’t continue reading.

All emotions surged up to her understanding, and darkness immediately fell before her eyes, causing her to collapse onto the sofa.

The butler was startled and hurried forward, “Madam!”

“Don’t come over!” Zhong Manhua, supporting herself on the arm of the sofa, barely managed to reseat herself. With eyes bloodshot, she yelled harshly, “Don’t come near me, just stand there.”

The butler was puzzled.

But as this was the master’s command, he had no choice but to step back.

After retreating to the spot designated by Zhong Manhua, the butler tentatively spoke up, “Madam, did Second Miss cause some trouble again?”

“She always does that. You mustn’t get angry; you’ll only hurt yourself.”

Zhong Manhua ignored the butler.

Her head throbbed, her ears buzzed, and she could hear nothing else but the one line before her eyes.

If it were before, she certainly would have thought it was just a prank.

After all, since Ying Zijin had been brought back to the Ying Family a year ago, she and Ying Zhenting had given up on disciplining her, with only Ying Luwei still very patient.

Allowing Ying Zijin to enter the Elite Class, teaching Ying Zijin piano, purchasing many clothes and jewelry for her, and even speaking up for Ying Zijin in their presence.

But today’s concert made Zhong Manhua realize that Ying Luwei’s attitude towards Ying Zijin was indeed very strange.

She struggled to calm her emotions before daring to continue reading.

After finishing the letter, she became completely stunned.

The letter was not long; it was mostly a series of evidence.

This evidence could fully prove that at the beginning of 2003, on January 28th, Ying Luwei stole a baby from the Ying family’s old house and then abandoned it in a dead alley far down the street.

Even after 16 years, Zhong Manhua could never forget that day.

Because it was just after the New Year, the Ying Family had received a large order from the capital.

Taking this order would catapult the Ying Corporation to new heights.

Therefore, she and Ying Zhenting both went out, aiming to successfully close the deal.

However, when they returned home at midnight, just as usual, she went to check on her little daughter.

But in the crib, there was only a blanket left.

Such a large baby who could only crawl was absolutely incapable of running out on her own; yet, the servants searched the entire old house and found no trace of the baby.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Afterwards, the Ying Family searched, but to no avail.

Zhong Manhua clenched the envelope tightly, as if thinking of something, then shouted harshly again, “Butler!”

The butler shivered and hastily responded, “Madam.”

“16 years ago, on the day the Second Miss went missing, did you, did you…” Zhong Manhua closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and stammered out, “See Luwei go out?”

The butler was stunned, never expecting Zhong Manhua to suddenly bring this up, “Madam?”

“Speak!” Zhong Manhua passionately slammed the table, “If you don’t speak, you can leave the Ying Family today.”

The butler tried desperately to remember, then after a few minutes he slapped his forehead and blurted out, “Madam, I saw it, Miss Luwei went out at eight o’clock in the evening and returned at eight thirty.”

“She said she went out to have a snowball fight with her playmates because it was snowing outside. I saw that she was covered with snow, so I sent her to the bathroom.”

Old Madam Ying had already retired to rest at that time, and Ying Luwei was her late-life child.

If he did not serve well, he would certainly be dismissed.

Zhong Manhua’s fingernails dug into her palm, and she took a deep breath, “Then when did you notice that Second Miss was missing?”

“I won’t forget that,” the butler, although confused, still answered, “At eight fifty, I went to change the milk bottle for Second Miss.”

The timeline, it all adds up!

Zhong Manhua bit down hard on her back teeth, tasting the flavor of fresh blood.

She and Ying Zhenting had suspected anyone in the old house, except for Ying Luwei.

Ying Luwei was virtually raised before their eyes; although she was of the same generation, they always treated her like a junior, spoiling her.

Ying Luwei had also been sensible since she was little; when she had no girls of her own, it was Ying Luwei who played the role of her intimate confidante.

Zhong Manhua could not comprehend at all why Ying Luwei would do such a thing.

Moreover, how old was Ying Luwei in 2003?

Merely 8 years old.

How could an 8-year-old child commit such a malicious act?

Zhong Manhua couldn’t accept it. Her fingers trembling, she picked up the telephone beside her and dialed an international number.

As soon as the call connected, she choked out, “Zhenting, come back quickly, a serious incident has occurred…”

**

Overnight, Ying Luwei’s reputation was completely ruined.

Microblog was uniformly cursing her.

Her fans unfollowed her en masse, not only failing to defend her but cursing even more vehemently.

As much as they once adored her, now it was equal in contempt.

Ying Luwei hid in the apartment she had bought, not daring to go out.

She used her alternate account to secretly log onto Weibo, and the more she saw, the more aggrieved and suffocated she felt; it was nearly enough to make her explode.

Especially the comments under her Weibo posts, which were all from accounts with the fan badge.

[White lotus, your true face has finally been revealed. Have you been having fun fooling us all these years?]

[Truly fucking disgusting. Look at what you’ve said before; you were clearly leading us into cyber mobbing, right? Inciting fans without ever restraining them, sending fans into jail while you shake it off and play the pitiful card to gain sympathy.]

[Trash, I’ve sued you, wait for the subpoena!]

Qiqian Media, which Ying Luwei had a contract with, saw the tide turning against her and not long after the incident broke out, in the middle of the night, they issued a unilateral statement of contract termination.

Her agent also ended their partnership with her and fled overnight.

All those who had supported her were now stepping back to crush her even more.

Ying Luwei was chilled to the bone, tears streaming down her face incessantly.

She was certain that someone was scheming against her behind the scenes, otherwise those expose accounts wouldn’t have ignored her warnings and kept their posts on Weibo.

Using Jiang Moyuan to bring Ying Zijin back from Qingshui County was a mistake.

If she hadn’t brought Ying Zijin back, the Ying Family wouldn’t have found out in this lifetime.

What should she do now?

Ying Luwei was frantic, wracking her brain, until she finally grasped at a lifeline.

Right, she needs to marry into the Jiang Family as soon as possible.

As long as she becomes the Matriarch of the House for the Jiang Family, her reputation wouldn’t matter even if it were gone.

Ying Luwei composed herself, wiped away her tears, tidied herself up, and drove to Jiang Moyuan’s company.

Today wasn’t a weekend, and Verdant still had classes.

Ying Zijin was holding her head with one hand while swiping on her phone with the other.

After entering the hidden forum section, rare medicinal ingredients were no longer an issue.

As long as she could offer something to entice the big shots, with a high enough bounty, someone would take on the task.

Although she hadn’t encountered any difficult symptoms recently, hoarding some medicinal ingredients was never a bad idea.

But such hoarding meant she was spending quite a bit of money.

Thankfully, she had Ying Luwei’s eighty million.

The NOK forum’s hidden section had many bounty posts every day. To facilitate posting and searching, the admin had categorized these bounties.

In the O Continent there’s the Alchemy world, and in Hua Country the Ancient medical field; both places have a high demand for medicinal ingredients.

Therefore, the Pharmacist District was always a hot area in the forum, and of course, the prices were higher.

Ying Zijin scanned the new posts, made a post of her own, then logged out.

After checking the homepage for the day’s gossip, Ying Zijin refreshed the page and saw a fresh post.

[Title]: Big shots, have you heard about the concert in Hua Country’s Shanghai City?

[Content]: I’m not in Shanghai City, but I took my Goddess Vera Hall’s name and bought an online ticket.

I was shocked. My Goddess’s three famous pieces were performed all together for the first time. I swear the performer is Vera Hall!

The way she played ‘Sun and Moon’ and ‘Holy War’ was different from any other performance I have heard before.

And even ‘Song of Jade Ice Cui,’ with its irreparable Music Sheet, she played it too.

Ahhh, I’m going mad, my Goddess isn’t dead, she has resurrected!!!

Three exclamation marks show just how excited the person who made the post was.

Ying Zijin looked at the post with her phoenix eyes slightly squinting, her fingers lightly tapping on the table.

Vera Hall was a peak figure in the history of music, but in NOK’s hidden section, she actually didn’t have much popularity.

After all, this place touched upon the deepest secrets of the entire world, and leaking just one of them could set the whole world ablaze.

Her identity was just an ordinary person in the eyes of the big shots lurking here.

But with the mention of resurrection, it definitely caught the attention of many.

However, it wasn’t a major problem.

She had anticipated this and made preparations accordingly.

[Post #1]: I remember the original poster is a loyal fan of Vera Hall.

[Post #2]: Oh, I’ve heard about it, there is such a thing as coming back to life, but coming back after three hundred years seems far-fetched. The Alchemists in the Alchemy world and the Poison Masters on our rank list that create drugs altering human cells can’t extend life for long.

…

[Post #12]: It’s not impossible, the Lorentz Family has that… never mind, I dare not say it, if I do, I’d be skinned.

[Post #89]: Memory transplantation? Did the science big shots come up with this?

The post was rapidly rising in popularity, with more and more people joining the discussion.

Fu Yunshen naturally saw it.

Even if he hadn’t seen it himself, people usually reported to him about the happenings in the hidden forum.

Moreover, he had taken note of it.

Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes fluttered as he pulled out his phone from the drawer and made a call.

After a moment, he chuckled softly, “What do you think, is it possible for someone to carry memories for hundreds of years and live another lifetime?”
