Chapter 288 Who Dares to Expose Ye Jingzhe, I Want Their Life! 1
Ye Siyuan said excitedly, "Her name is Yun Xiaosu. My brother took her in, and to our surprise, we discovered that she’s actually his own flesh and blood!"
Si Lisao’s expression darkened further, a chilling aura emanating from him as he cursed inwardly: Every one of them is useless! Another one found!
Burning with rage, Si Lisao unlocked his phone and sent Yun Yin a WeChat message: "Tell me, where is Susu?"
Yun Yin replied, "She ran away from home again. I’m looking for her."
Yun Yin had been injured and was in seclusion to recuperate. He had been in seclusion for over half a month and had only just recovered yesterday. It was then he learned from others in the residence that Susu had run away from home again.
Si Lisao’s features hardened. "No need to look anymore. Susu’s identity has been exposed. She’s with Mo Yinhe now."
Yun Yin: "!!!"
Yun Yin: "I’ll go bring her back right away!"
Si Lisao, suppressing his anger, typed each word with immense pressure: "What’s the use of you coming now? The father and daughter have already done a paternity test. Do you think Mo Yinhe will still hand his daughter over to you?"
After that, Si Lisao created a group chat, adding several of his brothers. In the group, he warned the others to watch their children closely, lest they run away from home and never return.
Si Lisao emphasized sternly in the group: "Especially Ye Jingzhe! He is the successor I have chosen. If anyone dares to reveal his identity, I’ll take their life!"
The other brothers immediately objected.
"How was he chosen? When? Why should Ye Jingzhe be the future successor? Isn’t the boy I’m raising good enough?"
"Exactly! The boy I’m raising is also exceptionally intelligent. If we’re to choose the Dragon Clan’s future successor, it must be through fair competition. You can’t just decide this unilaterally!"
"My boy is far more qualified than Ye Jingzhe to be the Dragon Clan’s future successor!"
"Pah! Your kid just follows you around stuffing his face all day; he’s nothing but a Little Demon King! How is he better than the boy I’m raising? If we’re selecting a successor, it must be a fair competition for everyone!"
"..."
The brothers argued incessantly over the choice of the Dragon Clan’s future successor, none willing to concede.
Si Lisao, tired of the bickering, dropped a message into the group: "Si Mingjing is Ajiu. She has returned!"
The incessantly quarreling group instantly fell silent.
Sheng Liuyun found he had been added to a group chat. Just as he opened the group messages, he saw Si Lisao’s announcement.
And then, Sheng Liuyun was utterly floored.
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Sheng Liuyun: "@Si Lisao, what are you saying? Who is Ajiu?"
After losing Liangliang, Sheng Liuyun had sunk into a deep depression, ignoring all social media and holing himself up at home, completely unaware that the world outside had been turned upside down.
Si Lisao’s reply was succinct, each word a bombshell: "Si Mingjing. She’s the little sister we’ve been searching for for years!"
After dropping the bombshell, Si Lisao turned off his phone.
A convoy of luxury cars pulled into the palace parking lot.
After alighting, Ye Siyuan enthusiastically offered to give Si Lisao a tour of the palace. As luck would have it, they ran into Si Mingjing.
"Crown Prince Lisao?" Si Mingjing was surprised and greeted him proactively.
Si Lisao’s gaze rested deeply on Si Mingjing, studying her completely new face, utterly bewildered. His Dragon Clan was an immortal and indestructible race; provide them with a womb, and they could be reborn. However, even when reborn, their appearance was not supposed to change, nor should their memories be lost. Whether it was him or his other brothers, their appearances had never changed despite numerous rebirths. Yet now, his little sister had a different face and didn’t recognize him.
A dull ache throbbed in Si Lisao’s heart. But that wasn’t important. What mattered was that his little sister had returned.
So, she ended up on Prison Star, he thought. No wonder I searched the entire Earth and couldn’t find her after her rebirth.
Si Lisao asked with concern, "Are you feeling any better?"
"Much better, thank you very much."
Si Lisao handed her a small medicine bottle. "I made a special trip to bring you this medicine. One pill a day for half a month."
"This is..."
Si Lisao didn’t explain, simply saying, "It’s good for your health."
"Thank you, Mr. Si."
Ye Siyuan stood beside Si Lisao, not understanding their conversation. "Mingjing, are you unwell?"
Si Mingjing explained, "A few days ago, I underwent the Dragon Clan’s coming-of-age ceremony. I didn’t know how to handle it, but fortunately, Mr. Si advised me, and that’s how I survived."
"The Dragon Clan’s coming-of-age ceremony?"
Ye Siyuan suddenly turned pale as memories unspooled and flooded her mind. A tremor ran through her, as if an electric current had passed through her, and her legs involuntarily went weak. The memory was so intense that she trembled every time she recalled it. A man like Si Lisao was too formidable; her delicate constitution simply couldn’t handle him.
Ye Siyuan’s face reddened again.
"Yes, it wasn’t a big deal. It’s all in the past now." Si Mingjing didn’t want to elaborate. Such an embarrassing topic was best touched upon only briefly.
Si Mingjing changed the subject. "Mr. Si, what brings you here?"
Ye Siyuan, also eager to change the topic, said, "Crown Prince Lisao is my guest."
Si Lisao, tall and imposing, stood beside them. After a moment of thought, he recited a string of numbers.
"Hmm?" Si Mingjing was puzzled.
Si Lisao said, "My phone number. Next time you need something, call me directly. No need to go through others."
Si Mingjing was pleasantly surprised. She carefully memorized Si Lisao’s phone number.
Si Lisao then asked her, "Your phone number?"
Si Mingjing dialed Si Lisao’s number. After two rings, she hung up.
Si Lisao saved her number.
Once Si Lisao had her number, Si Mingjing politely offered, "Mr. Si, may I treat you to dinner to thank you for your kindness?"
Si Lisao did not refuse. "In that case, I’ll gladly accept."
And so, when Mo Yinhe returned to the palace after a busy day, he found Si Lisao casually seated at his dining table. His eyes narrowed. What’s Si Lisao doing here?
"Crown Prince Lisao, gracing us with your presence from afar. What a rare guest." Mo Yinhe’s tone was that of someone eager to dismiss a helper whose purpose had been served. He pulled out a chair beside Si Mingjing, his gaze warily fixed on the nonchalant Si Lisao.
Si Lisao also found Mo Yinhe extremely disagreeable and replied coolly, "It seems Crown Prince Yinhe has forgotten he still owes me a favor."
So he’s here to call in a debt, Mo Yinhe realized.
Mo Yinhe had someone bring another set of cutlery, poured himself a glass of wine, and rose, his enthusiasm superficial. "As long as Crown Prince Lisao asks, I can repay the favor anytime. I toast you for your generous guidance the other day."
Si Lisao raised his glass, took a sip, and said, "Then let’s settle it now."
Si Lisao stated his terms. He wanted to recognize Si Mingjing as his adoptive younger sister, which would make him Mo Yinhe’s brother-in-law.
Mo Yinhe thought: You’re unbelievably shameless!
There was no way Mo Yinhe would agree. He chuckled. "This favor you’re asking... it’s not my call. Si Mingjing has to decide for herself. And I doubt she’d want to agree! Right, Mingjing?"
Mo Yinhe was subtly trying to tell Si Mingjing not to agree.
Si Mingjing completely missed Mo Yinhe’s hint. She was flattered beyond belief. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that the distinguished Crown Prince Lisao of the Mu Continent would want to become her adoptive older brother!
