The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

After saying goodbye to the little pigeon as if nothing had happened, Ye Linyuan arrived at the hotel private room he had arranged with Gu Haoran. As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Liuli, who looked almost exactly like Gu Haoran, and the only way to tell that she was a 100% girl was by her figure.

"Liuli, long time no see. But if I remember correctly, I was supposed to have an appointment with your brother, Gu Haoran. Why is it you who came?"

Looking at the face she had longed for, Gu Liuli suppressed the flutter in her heart, slowly got up and walked to Ye Linyuan's side. She naturally wrapped her arms around his arm, squeezed his arm deep into her chest, and dragged him to her seat to sit down together.

"Brother is busy right now, so I'll report the investigation results to Brother Ye on my behalf."

Ye Linyuan nodded awkwardly, forcibly suppressing the sensation on his arm. Although he was still a little confused as to why Gu Haoran would let Gu Liuli, whom he cherished, come to him, and wasn't afraid that he would take advantage of her, Ye Linyuan decided to make a quick decision considering Gu Liuli's physical condition.

Let's skip the process and get straight to the conclusion.

Upon hearing this, Gu Liuli released one hand and took out several sheets of paper, still warm from her body, from her bottomless granary, and laid them in front of Ye Linyuan.

"Brother Ye, based on your investigation and my analysis, there is a 60% chance that Leng Qinghan will appear in your sight by chance and a 40% chance that it is intentional."

"60% accidental, 40% deliberate? That's almost a 50/50 split!"

Ye Linyuan stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

He didn't believe in coincidences, so when Leng Qinghan appeared, he had already started to have Gu Haoran investigate. However, the result was somewhat unexpected for him.

"Liuli, tell me in detail."

"According to my brother's investigation, Leng Qingyue did indeed die of bone cancer. After her body was cremated, her ashes were buried in the cemetery in our hometown. There is no problem with that. The problem is that Leng Qinghan suddenly transferred from our hometown of Shuicheng to Haicheng to attend high school without any warning."

Gu Liuli then took out another photo from her chest and placed it on the table.

"These were Leng Qinghan's grades at her school in Shuicheng. They were outstanding. She even ranked first in Shuicheng in the high school entrance exam. Shuicheng No. 1 High School offered her a full tuition and fee waiver and a scholarship of 200,000 yuan per year to study there, but she refused. Instead, she chose to go to Haicheng No. 1 High School, which was farther away."

"The conditions offered to her by Haicheng No. 1 High School were far inferior to those offered by Shuicheng No. 1 High School. They merely waived her tuition and fees, without any other rewards."

"Logically speaking, given her family's poverty, it would be normal for her to stay in Shuicheng. After all, with her abilities, she would definitely be fully supported by Shuicheng No. 1 High School, which is much better than coming to Haicheng No. 1 High School."

"But she deliberately chose the worse option."

"However, after she came to Haicheng, she never took the initiative to inquire about anyone's affairs, whether it was for studying or daily life. So, seeing her come to Haicheng to study seemed like a complete coincidence."

Ye Linyuan picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. It was only 20 points away from a perfect score. Based on this score, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get first place in Shuicheng in the high school entrance exam. After all, Shuicheng is just a small city with a population of less than one million, so it's normal for Shuicheng No. 1 High School to offer her such a condition.

However, if we place this in Haicheng, a city with a population of nearly 30 million, the most developed city in the thirteen southern provinces, and the capital of Jiangnan Province, which gathers the vast majority of geniuses in Jiangnan Province, then this result is completely inadequate. Therefore, it is normal for Haicheng No. 1 High School to offer her such a condition.

"What you said is indeed quite strange, but Qingyue was also studying at Haicheng No. 1 High School back then. Could it be that she just wanted to follow in Qingyue's footsteps?"

Gu Liuli nodded.

"Brother Ye, I've considered the possibility you mentioned. According to your investigation, Leng Qinghan's relationship with her family is so-so, but she's very close to her sister, Leng Qingyue. That's definitely a possibility, which is why I said that the odds are 60% accidental and 40% deliberate."

"Anything else? Is there anything else?"

"Furthermore, according to my brother's investigation, both Leng Qingyue and Leng Qinghan, and even their mother, suffer from mental illness. They have consulted a psychologist named Zhao Shiyun. This Zhao Shiyun is no ordinary person; she has won many honors at a young age and is even rumored to be the number one psychologist in Shuicheng."

Hearing Gu Liuli say this, Ye Linyuan sighed inwardly. Sure enough, Sister Qingyue really did have a hereditary mental illness.

When Qingyue inexplicably tried to hypnotize him, he had some doubts. If it weren't for the fact that he saw Qingyue suddenly take a liking to hypnosis, and he hadn't curiously looked through some related books and quickly mastered it thanks to his terrifying comprehension, he probably would have been hypnotized by Qingyue.

On the other hand, out of respect for Qingyue, I only hypnotized her, making her believe that she had hypnotized me and that I had done what she wanted to do. I forgot to ask Qingyue what she actually wanted to do.

"Has your brother found out what exactly is the hereditary disease that Qingyue and the others have?"

"My brother is still investigating this matter and hasn't come to a conclusion yet. Zhao Shiyun is a very cautious and intelligent woman. She guessed from just a few words that my brother was investigating the Leng family's genetic disease, so she later refused to have any communication with him."

Ye Linyuan nodded. Although he still didn't know what kind of mental illness the Leng family had, it was an illness that needed to be treated and couldn't be left untreated. It seemed necessary to make a trip to Shuicheng to find the intelligent and cautious Dr. Zhao Shiyun.

"By the way, Liuli, I left your brother a Penglai Pill last time and asked him to bring it to you. Did you take it? How was the effect?"

So the pill Brother Ye gave me last time was called Penglai Pill?

Recalling how, after taking the Penglai Pill, his body, which had been somewhat weak due to his illness, was suddenly filled with energy, and even his previously drowsy mind became clearer than ever before, it was as if parched land had finally received rain, and he was full of vitality. He nodded quickly.

"The Penglai Pill that Brother Ye gave me is very effective. It has almost completely restored Liuli's body, which was damaged by excessive mental exertion. It has even strengthened her physique. For example, when analyzing and organizing the information that Brother Ye investigated this time, Liuli did not feel too tired."

Hearing Gu Liuli say this, Ye Linyuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although he saved Gu Haoran and Gu Liuli because of Gu Liuli's brilliant mind, he never expected her to repay him with her life.

It would be best if she were alright.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Linyuan took out a Penglai Pill that he always carried with him and handed it to Gu Liuli.

"Liuli, consider this Penglai Pill as a token of my gratitude. When I get back, I'll study it further and prescribe some medicine for you so that you won't become physically weak even when you use your brain."

Gu Liuli nodded without any pretense, and took the porcelain bottle containing the Penglai Pill from Ye Linyuan's hand, carefully putting it away.

Only those who have experienced it firsthand can know how powerful the effects of this Penglai Pill are!

Since Brother Ye is so good to me, does he sense my feelings for him...?

Thinking of this, Gu Liuli's originally rosy face turned even redder, and her heart skipped a few beats...
