After everyone left, the duty police officer once again focused on the information on the computer screen.
The mother’s last name is Li, the father’s last name is Fei, and there’s a brother with the last name Fei as well. Only the young man is surnamed “Bai Li.”
…
[Lord Host, I sneaked into the database to take a look.]
[This “Big Zhuang” is quite right. Your character’s family is indeed wealthy.]
[But your status as a wealthy young master seems a bit ambiguous.]
Bai Lixin: [Hmm?]
As they exited the police station, they immediately saw a luxury car parked at the entrance.
Big Zhuang gasped, discreetly approached Bai Lixin and lowered his voice, “Brother, your family is really wealthy. I know this car; it’s a global limited edition business model, worth fifty million.”
Bai Lixin glanced at the luxurious black car, “It’s not enough to buy a watch.”
Big Zhuang glanced at Bai Lixin with wide eyes: “Look at what you’re saying. Can they be compared?”
“One is an investment, the other is consumable. Watches become more valuable over time, while cars depreciate.”
“This watch and the car are equally valuable. Good brother, in prosperity, do not forget each other. Why not ask your family what they do and if they want to invest in my livestream? My livestream has great potential.”
Bai Lixin chuckled at Big Zhuang, “Why don’t you wait until I recover my memory? I feel like even if I say it now, it won’t count.”
Big Zhuang scratched his head, “You’ve got a point.”
The business car had seven seats and stayed running at the roadside with the headlights on. A driver in a suit sat in the driver’s seat, and with the six of them, the car was full but not overloaded.
The driver had a cold expression, resembling a trained robot. He silently observed the situation inside the car through the rearview mirror. Once everyone buckled their seatbelts and settled, the middle-aged man said, “Go home.” Only then did the driver start the car, smoothly leaving the area.
The sky was already getting bright, and the slumbering city gradually awakened. Pedestrians started appearing on the streets one after the other.
Inside the car, the heating was on, and warm air filled the quiet enclosed space. The sound of the car’s movement and the honking became muffled due to the car’s insulation.
Soothing music slowly filled every corner of the car. In this warm and peaceful atmosphere, the three, who had been frightened the whole night, soon closed their eyes uncontrollably and drifted into a deep sleep.
The middle-aged man sat in the passenger seat, his eyes occasionally glancing at Bai Lixin through the rearview mirror. His mouth opened and closed, seemingly hesitant to speak.
The middle-aged woman sat beside Bai Lixin, holding Bai Lixin’s hand in her soft palm and gently rubbing it. Her voice carried warmth, “Xiao Xin, do you really not remember anything?”
Bai Lixin nodded, “Hmm, I only remember my name is Bai Lixin, and am a male. I don’t remember anything else.”
The middle-aged woman’s fingers gently caressed Bai Lixin’s hand, and he felt like she looked concerned but was actually searching for something. After a while, she smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. You are our child, and even if you forget everything, we will take good care of you.”
“Good child, you’ve suffered these days.” The middle-aged woman released Bai Lixin’s hand and earnestly scrutinized his face, “I am your mother, and this is your father. In our family, there’s also your brother. This is our family of four. The news of your disappearance hit your brother hard. We hurriedly came after receiving the call from the police station and haven’t told your brother that we found you yet. If he has any reaction later, don’t be scared. He’s just been anxious these past few days.”
S419M’s voice echoed in his mind again.
[Mom is the biological mom, dad is the stepdad, and the brother has no blood relation but is listed in the same household register as a brother.]
Bai Lixin: [Is this why you said my status as a wealthy young master is ambiguous?]
S419M: [Yes, Lord Host.]
[Your stepdad’s last name is Fei, and is called Fei Taizong. He’s about seven or eight years older than your current biological mother. He also has a son who is 27 years old this year, and is called Fei Yino. According to your current information, you are 22 years old, and your household register name is Bai Lixin. “Baili” is from your biological father’s surname. Your mother remarried, but the name wasn’t changed.]
[Your mom’s last name is Li, and she is called Li Manyu.]
[Five years ago, when you were 17, Li Manyu married local wealthy businessman Fei Taizong.]
[These are the clues I gathered from the household registration information. However, I don’t know the specific details, Lord Host.]
[But I always feel something is subtle. The way these parents look at you is strange. There’s surprise, scrutiny, confusion, and even fear.]
Bai Lixin: [This might be the second game’s setting.]
S419M: [How do you know?]
After pulling his hand back, Bai Lixin hid it in his sleeve: [Intuition.]
…
As the car moved, the number of pedestrians on the roadside gradually decreased. However, the architectural style on both sides of the road became more luxurious. Soon, the car entered an upscale residential area and stopped in front of a villa with a yard.
Outside the villa, there was a tall bronze-colored wall, and a large iron gate securely separated the street from the inside.
As the car arrived, the previously closed iron gate promptly opened.
While the car slowly entered, Bai Lixin also observed the unfamiliar environment silently.
From the windows of the house, it appeared to have four floors.
Bai Lixin observed the house through the glass, and his gaze paused slightly when he saw the third floor.
In front of a window on the third floor, the tightly closed curtain opened a small gap, and a dark figure with its back to the light was standing at the window, looking down.
Due to the angle and lighting, he could only vaguely see the silhouette of a male figure, but the specific details were unclear.
The car slowly stopped at the gate, and the middle-aged woman still maintained her grace and gentleness. “Xiao Xin, does this place feel familiar to you? Have you remembered anything?”
Bai Lixin shook his head, “Sorry, I have no impression. It feels like my first time here.”
The middle-aged woman remained calm and gentle, only smiling softly. “It’s okay. If you can’t remember, don’t force it. Let’s get out of the car.”
She glanced at the three people sleeping in the back, “Your new friends seem tired. Wake them up and let them have a good sleep in the guest rooms.”
“Xiao Xin, do you remember where your room is?”
Bai Lixin shook his head casually, “No, I don’t remember.”
The woman: “Then later, I’ll ask Aunt Zhang to take you to your room. You should rest and not think about anything.”
“Get out of the car.”
The three sleeping individuals were nudged awake. Big Zhuang wad still half-asleep, but brightened up when he saw the luxurious villa in front of him. All signs of drowsiness vanished instantly.
The wealthy district, Isn’t this the wealthy district?!
They followed behind and entered the villa. Big Zhuang inspected the luxurious house he had never entered before with curiosity.
It was just like in TV dramas, it exuded the scent of money everywhere.
He immersed himself in it, taking a satisfied deep breath.
Smells good.
“Pa-ta.”
“Pa-ta.”
“Pa-ta.”
Clear footsteps echoed from the staircase. Bai Lixin looked over and saw a handsome man standing on the steps, holding on to the handrail of the stairs.
Slightly long hair hung down on both sides of his neck, and dense bangs covered the man’s forehead and part of his eyes.
The man’s chin lifted slightly, his facial lines were tensed, and his eyes looked down below coldly and indifferently, accurately landing on Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin sensed a clear hostility.
Although they hadn’t met before, Bai Lixin guessed the man’s identity at first sight.
This should be the brother in the “original owner’s” character setting.
What was his name again?
Oh, it was Fei Yino.
The woman seemed somewhat afraid of Fei Yino. As soon as he appeared, her mouth involuntarily twitched, and her body stiffened.
The middle-aged man wasn’t much better. He smiled at the man on the steps flatteringly. “Yino, you got up so early today.”
Fei Yino didn’t speak; he just stood still, scrutinizing them silently.
Perhaps feeling the sharp gaze, the woman spoke first, “Yino, look who we found. It’s Xiao Xin. We’ve brought your little brother Xiao Xin back. However, he seems to have encountered something and lost his memory. Besides knowing his name, he doesn’t remember anything else.”
Fei Yino’s pupils moved slightly, and finally, his footsteps began to move.
Bug Zhuang beside Bai Lixin shuddered. He lowered his voice and said cautiously: “This man’s oppressive aura is so strong, he feels strangely intimidating. Did you run away from home due to some inheritance dispute or something?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Fei Yino walked up to Bai Lixin expressionlessly. After a moment of eye contact, he slowly reached out, pinching Bai Lixin’s chin in front of everyone.
Fei Yino was slightly taller than Bai Lixin, who stood at 1.83 meters. He seemed to be around 1.9 meters.
He held Bai Lixin’s chin and looked around before putting his hand down again and letting out a slightly mocking laugh. “Xiao Xin? You lost your memory?”
“Losing your memory at this moment seems quite timely, don’t you think so, Dad, Mom?” While speaking, the man’s gaze swept through the air, landing on the middle-aged couple. “I thought he died out there, I didn’t expect him to come back alive. Well, take good care of him.”
With cold lips, he spoke sarcastically, then turned and walked toward the gate without any nostalgia.
The man paused and asked, “Where are you going, Yino?”
Fei Yino: “There are some matters at the company. The atmosphere of a family reunion doesn’t suit me. I won’t be involved.”
With that, he waved his hand, pushed the gate open, and walked out.
Seeing the gate closed again, the woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She awkwardly smiled at Bai Lixin, “Don’t mind him. Yino rarely smiles or talks much, but he has a warm heart.”
Bai Lixin was silent for two seconds. “So, how’s our usual relationship?”
The woman and the man exchanged a glance, and the man explained, “You two have always gotten along well, really. It’s just that when you left home before, you had a quarrel. Probably because of the lingering anger, he was so confrontational today.”
“Haha,” the woman tried to smooth things over, “then, I’ll prepare a good dinner tonight and also invite Yino. Siblings shouldn’t hold grudges. Once you talk it out, everything will be fine.”
“Aunt Zhang!” The woman called out to a room on the side. Soon, a plainly dressed woman hurried out. “Ah, Madam, what can I do for you?”
The woman: “The young master is back. Take him to his room for a good rest.”
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looking somewhat absent-mindedly at Bai Lixin, “Young Master, please follow me.”
“Oh, by the way,” the woman stopped Aunt Zhang, “these three are friends the young master made in the past few days. Arrange a guest room for each of them and prepare some food so our guests can rest on full stomachs.”
Aunt Zhang had been bowing slightly all this time. When the woman finished instructing, she led the group upstairs.
First, Aunt Zhang arranged Big Zhuang and the others in the guest room area, and finally, she brought Bai Lixin to his bedroom.
Bai Lixin silently followed behind Aunt Zhang with steady and light footsteps.
After walking for a while, Aunt Zhang stopped in front of a room on the third floor. “Young Master, this is your room.”
After entering the room, Bai Lixin immediately noticed the window hanging on the wall, the same window he saw someone peeping through when he entered here earlier.
The curtain was tightly closed now, and the room was somewhat dark.
Bai Lixin opened the curtain with a “whoosh”, and the sunlight outside condensed into a radiant beam, capturing the dancing mist and dust within its light.
The hazy, warm sunlight instantly illuminated the somewhat dim room, changing its atmosphere.
Turning around, Bai Lixin lazily leaned against the window, enjoying the warm sunshine. “Has anyone entered this room before?”
Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said, “Yes, this room is cleaned every day.”
