set off her alarm bells. The other party was very sharp and seemed to have already suspected her."What a bother."The ripple rolled over and fell fast asleep.Before the final exams ended and winter br..."Li Yi, can you tell us what's going on"
"Okay, Grandpa and Grandma." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The ripples from their meeting flowed like kindness, allowing the two elders to take their seats before she began to recount the story's details:
When my mother had just passed away, my father came to me wanting to bring back the woman named Xue Wenjing and his other son Lian Bo. I was extremely angry at the time. It was less than seven days after my mother's funeral, and he brought this up. So we had a huge fight and ended it badly.
At that time, I was deeply saddened. I felt as if my mother had left me. Because of my useless physique, my father was also about to give up on me and couldn't wait to bring someone else home to replace me.
At that time, I felt like the whole sky was black, which made me feel suffocated. During that period, I lived in a daze, my world was upside down, and I didn't eat much. I only drank a tube of nutrient solution when I was starving.
One night, I woke up feeling hungry. It was too late to wake the housekeeper or activate the robot housekeeper, so I went looking for food myself. But I saw the housekeeper having a video call in the dining room.
I instinctively stopped in my tracks, hearing him seemingly talking to someone. The other person repeatedly instructed him to control my nutrient intake and not give me anything too nutritious.
I heard it very clearly. At the time, the butler said that because of the mistress's passing, the young master had barely eaten anything recently. He was only subsisting on low-grade nutrient solution and had stopped all cultivation.
And he also said that the low-grade nutrient solutions in the house were all diluted by him, a tube of low-grade nutrient solution only contains one-third of the nutritional content, and guaranteed that no one would find out.
The conversation between the two wasn't over yet, and I was afraid of being discovered. I quietly went back to my room and even had my AI, Ian, delete the video footage of me appearing.
After returning to the room, I was puzzled. Why would they control my nutrient intake I'm in a period of growth and development, needing more nutrients, not less. What could be their purpose for doing this
The next day, I had Ian hack into the butler's AI. We found out that the person he had spoken to last night was Lienbo, and in the video call, the other party called him "Grandpa."
I asked Iain to investigate further along this line, and we got a new lead. It turned out that Xue Wenjing was the result of a one-night stand between the housekeeper when he was young. Many years later, Xue Wenjing's mother fell ill with a genetic disease and had to bring Xue Wenjing to the housekeeper, hoping he would take care of his biological daughter.
The steward took advantage of the situation to arrange Xue Wenjing by his mother's side. He also created opportunities for his own daughter and Wu Yishan, and after they became secretly involved, they had a child together.
For the steward, life's second half was a simple choice: continue as a steward or become Wu Yishan's father-in-law. So, while putting on a face of doing everything for his good, he secretly worked to secure opportunities for his own grandchildren.
Last time I had a big fight with my father, this old guy was stirring the pot. His goal is to further escalate the conflict between me and my father, pushing him to give up on me as soon as possible, calling me a worthless good-for-nothing.
After Ian analyzed these things for me, I began to suspect the housekeeper. In secret, I used a tube of my father's high-grade business fluid, military grade even. After taking it, I felt a surge of comfort throughout my body, and then my strength slowly increased.
Ian analyzed my strength gain and believed it wasn't my full potential. He suggested I take higher-level nutrient solutions and gene-stimulating agents, but it would be difficult to hide them from the housekeeper and my father at home.
I wasn't sure what my father would do when he found out the truth. Would he take my side, or the illegitimate child's I wanted to talk to him about it, but that's when Xue Wenjing came looking for me again, brought in by the butler, while my father was away.
I suddenly realized that if I really did that, the butler would definitely have more tricks up his sleeve waiting for me. Right now, in everyone's eyes, I'm just a nobody, and I don't have the ability to fight against my father, so I chose to ask my grandfather for help.
As for blowing up General Wu's mansion today, it was my first retaliation. Without a mother's home, it can no longer be called home. And the fact that my father betrayed my mother is undeniable.
But I won't let the cunning old steward and his descendants for three generations get away with it. I won't allow them to usurp our home, so I had Ian tamper with the General's Mansion program, disable all defenses, and trigger the city's attack system to strike the General's Mansion.
Moreover, I have had Ian submit to the marriage court an application opposing Wu Yishan's request for remarriage before I come of age.
After narrating in a calm and gentle manner, the ripples fell silent and looked at the two elders, waiting for their questions.
When planning to blow up the General's Mansion, Ripples started doing her homework. After all, it wasn't as simple as just blowing it up. She knew that in this world saturated with networks, some lies would unravel at the slightest scrutiny. That's why she had Ian black out the butler's AI.
As the steward of the General's Mansion, his AI defense level was also very high. Unfortunately, Ian broke in from within. Within the same defense circle, Ian succeeded easily, even finding video records of him, Xue Wenjing, and Lian Bo.
Following this lead, the investigation continued until it was discovered that the butler, Xue Wenjing, and Lian Bo were all part of the same family. With this breakthrough, the original owner's tragic fate naturally made sense.
Why did Xue Wenjing, after marrying into the Wu family with Wu Lianbo, quickly take control Why was the original owner and Wu Lianbo in the same room for so long, and constantly oppressed Why could the original owner so easily become addicted to drugs All of these questions suddenly found answers.
The rest can be easily inferred, so Ripple only lied about the point where he started to suspect something. This also explains why his strength increased. Then using nutrient solutions and advanced gene-activating fluids follows naturally.
General Du was desperately trying to suppress his anger. The old madam patted her husband's hand gently, then with a solemn face asked:
"Lian Yi, what do you plan to do next"
"Grandfather, Grandmother, you can check into these things I've said, perhaps there will be new discoveries. What I found is limited after all, and I feel my mother's sudden death was not that simple."
"Don't worry, dear child. We would have gone to look anyway, even if you hadn't told us."
"I am still very weak and need time to grow, so I still need the protection of my grandparents. I want to start by stimulating my potential, I want to prove that I am not a waste!"
"Could you list what you need"
Old General Du let out a sigh and then spoke.
"Grandpa, I'll send it to you in a bit."
A ripple broke into a faint smile, causing Old Madam's eyes to well up. The look on her face as she smiled was exactly like Du Yi's.
"Grandfather, grandmother, I want to completely leave the Wu family. Since Wu Yishan thinks that illegitimate son is stronger than me, then this useless son of mine won't take up space.""Just tell me what you need me to do, Hongtu. I'm at your disposal.""Regarding the purple mech pilot, that's my intel. You can feel free to share it with your brother, and he can spread the word."Davi...
