After Gu Yingying started her class, Qin Yusen’s driver took a detour from Yong’an Road and arrived at their destination for the day—the Shangjing City Police Department.

Waiting to welcome Qin Yusen was Director Liu from the station. He was treating this visit with great care. After all, this wasn’t just an ordinary reunion, it was the dramatic conclusion of a billionaire’s quest to find his family! Over the years, Director Liu had admired Qin Yusen—a self-made man who rose from nothing. Meeting him in person only reinforced that sentiment. He couldn’t help but marvel at the man, thinking, People like this really are on a whole different level.

“Mr. Qin, please follow me to the lab to pick up the documents.”

Director Liu knew all too well what kind of extraordinary person Qin Yusen was. Born and raised in an orphanage, yet by the age of 27, he had already built a business empire worth billions. Qin Yusen’s meteoric rise was legendary—his innovations in smart electronics were now indispensable to everyday life.

In a world where genuine talent was as rare as one in a million, Qin Yusen stood out as a figure who commanded admiration and awe.

Qin Yusen, CEO of Jian’an Technology, had an origin story straight out of a movie. At 14, he earned his first fortune by developing a game app. Over the next four years, he helped major tech companies enhance their software. At 18, he founded Jian’an Technology and introduced groundbreaking products like the Jian’an smartwatch, smartphone, and a full line of smart appliances. In just under a decade, Jian’an Technology had transformed into a leader in both the domestic and global markets, dominating the smart electronics industry. It’s estimated that Qin Yusen’s personal wealth surpassed tens of billions.

But the police weren’t just in awe of Qin Yusen’s business achievements—they also admired his philanthropy. Since earning his first paycheck, Qin Yusen had consistently donated large sums to charitable causes. Whenever a natural disaster struck in the country, he was always one of the first to step up and contribute. Although most people were unaware of his generosity, the police and insiders knew the truth.

Rumor had it that Qin Yusen’s motivation for his extensive charitable work was deeply personal—he believed in doing good to build karma in his quest to find his long-lost family. And now, the news that he had finally found them brought joy to everyone in the station.

With an expressionless face, Qin Yusen followed Director Liu to the lab. A forensic scientist quickly handed over a set of documents, which Director Liu then passed to Qin.

“Mr. Qin, these documents contain information about your family,” Director Liu said, his tone carrying a hint of excitement. “There’s also a DNA sequencing chart. Based on the genetic results, the person in this file is your biological younger sister.”

At this point, Director Liu couldn’t help but feel a deeper sense of gratitude toward Mr. Qin. Having someone like Qin Yusen was like having a divine blessing for the country. Beyond his globally renowned corporation and its cutting-edge technology, the government had also benefited from one of Qin Yusen’s remarkable inventions—a state-of-the-art DNA matching device.

In the past, determining a familial relationship required simultaneous samples from both parties, such as blood or hair follicles. This cumbersome process often complicated the search for lost family members. However, driven by his own longing to reunite with his family, Qin Yusen had developed a groundbreaking genetic database three years ago.

This genetic database allowed individuals to voluntarily upload their DNA profiles. Using advanced algorithms and machinery, the database could match individuals with their biological relatives through an automated system. Since its inception, the database had enabled hundreds—if not thousands—more families to reunite every year, much to the delight of law enforcement officers nationwide.

Qin Yusen took the envelope from Director Liu, who, sensing the weight of the moment, left the room to give him some privacy. Alone in the lounge, Qin Yusen stared at the envelope for what felt like an eternity before finally opening it.

The first document inside was a DNA comparison report. The error rate for matches within the genetic database was a mere 0.001%. The fact that the police were presenting this information meant it was as good as certain. Qin Yusen’s eyes fell on the name listed in bold: Gu Yingying, 16 years old.

The genetic data confirmed that they were siblings. The realization that he now had a teenage sister left Qin Yusen with a strange and indescribable feeling.

Beneath the DNA report were additional documents compiled by the police. Given how long Qin Yusen had been searching for his family, the police were just as thrilled as he was about the discovery. For them, assisting in this quest felt like a badge of honor.

As Qin Yusen sifted through the detailed records, his brows furrowed. The documents included an account of events from over a month ago, describing incidents that had involved Gu Yingying. Reading about her experiences left Qin Yusen with a deep sense of concern, and when he finally reached the photograph tucked at the end, he froze, sinking into contemplation.

The girl in the picture—the one he had just learned was his sister—was someone he had already met.

After spending some time in the lounge, Qin Yusen finally stepped out with the folder in hand. At the same time, Director Liu, who had been on the phone, was pacing with a look of urgency and frustration on his face. Spotting Qin Yusen, Director Liu quickly ended his call and turned to him.

“Mr. Qin, I apologize, but another team will need to handle your case for now. There’s been a multi-car accident on one of the roads, and I need to head to the scene immediately,” he said with a slightly apologetic tone.

The call had informed him that several officers near Yong’an Road had already been dispatched to the scene. Director Liu hadn’t expected something so major—a multi-vehicle accident—on an ordinary weekday without any holidays or special events. It was enough to make anyone’s head spin.

Qin Yusen nodded in acknowledgment but suddenly recalled the warning the young girl had given him earlier as she got out of the car: Whatever you do, don’t go to Yong’an Road.

Without thinking, he asked, “Director Liu, where did the accident happen? If there are injured victims who need assistance, feel free to let the station contact me.”

Known for his philanthropy, Qin Yusen had donated an immeasurable amount over the years to various causes. Hearing his offer, Director Liu’s stressed expression lightened into a grateful smile.

“Mr. Qin, you truly have a heart of gold,” Director Liu said, his voice filled with gratitude. “I just received the call—there’s been a massive chain collision on Yong’an Road involving 20 vehicles. The hospital has already sent emergency responders. Rest assured, if we find any injured who require assistance, our station will evaluate their needs and notify your office accordingly.”

Hearing the words Yong’an Road, Qin Yusen’s heart sank. However, his face remained composed, betraying no emotion.

“Understood, Director Liu. Please hurry—this situation is much more urgent.”

Director Liu nodded and quickly left. A female officer then took over his duties, escorting Qin Yusen out of the station.

In the parking lot, Qin Yusen got into his car. As soon as the door closed, his driver, Driver Wang, spoke up, his voice tinged with lingering fear and a light sheen of sweat on his forehead. Just five minutes earlier, he had been listening to the car’s radio and had heard about the pileup on Yong’an Road. The thought that they had narrowly avoided such a disaster left him feeling both grateful and shaken.

“Sir, there was a major chain collision on Yong’an Road. It’s lucky we didn’t take that route,” Driver Wang said, his tone a mix of relief and unease.

Whether the young girl’s so-called fortune-telling was real or not, it had undeniably saved their lives. As a seasoned driver, Driver Wang knew that regular accidents might leave people injured but with reasonable chances of survival. However, multi-car collisions—especially those that could cause explosions—rarely ended without fatalities. Escaping one was truly a brush with death.

“Hm,” Qin Yusen responded with his characteristic brevity. However, as the image of Gu Yingying’s school uniform came to mind, he realized it matched the uniform of First Experimental High School. The thought of meeting his newly found sister sparked an idea, prompting him to change his plans.

“Drive to First Experimental High School.”

Driver Wang didn’t ask questions, assuming that Qin Yushen intended to thank the girl for her warning. Without hesitation, he steered the car toward the school.

While Gu Yingying sat in the classroom diligently working on her English, she had no idea how much had transpired beyond the school walls. Her biological brother had already discovered her existence, but she was far too absorbed in trying to catch up with her studies. After all, after spending so much time on the Anlan Continent, she’d forgotten almost everything about English.

Thankfully, her classmates were friendly and eager to help her but their curiosity occasionally got the better of them.

“Yingying, were you really from Class One before?” asked Gu Qingrang, the English representative for the class. His English was excellent, and with his privileged background as a second-generation rich kid, he had heard of Gu Yingying’s situation but didn’t look down on her. “Class One’s grades are much higher than ours in Class Two. Did you get transferred here because your grades slipped?”

“…I have no words for my bad luck,” Gu Yingying replied, pulling a face. The next school-wide exam was still a month away, but she was already worried she might end up dead last in the rankings.

Seeing her pitiful but endearing expression, Gu Qingrang sighed and resumed tutoring her. Most of his break time between classes was spent going over lessons with Gu Yingying.

Before long, it was lunchtime. Like most students at First Experimental High School, Gu Yingying headed to the cafeteria for a meal. With her lunch card in hand, she joined her newly-made friends Gu Qingrang and Song Ruoci in the cafeteria line.

But life has a way of arranging awkward encounters. While the group queued up to get their food, Shi Yating—who had come to the cafeteria at the same time—spotted Gu Qingrang standing beside Gu Yingying. Instantly, her jealousy flared, burning like poison in her gaze as it fixated on Gu Yingying.

(Note: Shi Yating secretly harbors a crush on Gu Qingrang.)

As the class English rep, and with their teacher’s instructions to support Gu Yingying, Gu Qingrang had been especially attentive to her, given they even shared the same surname. It was natural for him to help her navigate class and include her in activities like meals, where they also used the time to go over English conversational practice.

The group soon collected their food trays and sat down together. At First Experimental High School, where academics were the priority, even the cafeteria food was designed to impress—it was both delicious and nutritious. Surrounded by caring classmates and a cheerful atmosphere, Gu Yingying couldn’t help but feel utterly content as she enjoyed her meal.

As the cheerful banter continued on one side, Shi Yating, seated diagonally across the room, was seething with anger. She couldn’t believe that Gu Yingying, that wretched girl, had managed to charm Gu Qingrang after leaving Class One! She had never seen Gu Qingrang have lunch with any other girl before. Hadn’t Xuezhen said that Gu Yingying had already left the Gu family? She must be trying to find some gullible fool to marry into a wealthy family so she could maintain her former lifestyle as a rich heiress!

The more Shi Yating thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Qingrang was being taken advantage of. It was as if Gu Yingying had already wrapped him around her finger. Throughout the entire meal, Shi Yating couldn’t take her eyes off Gu Yingying’s table, barely touching her food. When Gu Qingrang finally got up to leave with his tray, she couldn’t hold back any longer. Grabbing her glass of juice, she stormed over to Gu Yingying and, catching her completely off guard, poured it over her head…
