I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

"Were the things that happened online, and with the shareholders, handled by your uncle?"

Zhou Shi'an was not surprised by his grandfather's question.

Because his first suspicion was also about Zhou Tingxiao.

However, the survey results were somewhat unexpected!

Zhou Shi'an shook his head, not directly answering the other party's question.

"Grandpa, Grandma, after my brother was brought back by my uncle, I secretly ordered people to investigate."

There is no problem with Shi Jin's identity; he is indeed of the Zhou family bloodline.

Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and there are no clues to the truth about how we were switched back then.

However, it is certain that my uncle and aunt have not been to Northeast China in the past twenty-three years.

Even those closest to them have never been there.

As soon as he finished speaking, he instinctively took out a cigarette case from his shirt pocket.

But then he remembered that the two elderly people were there, so Zhou Shi'an put the cigarette box back.

He then continued, "The post on the internet can only be traced back to overseas, but its exact location cannot be confirmed."

Clearly, the other side was prepared.

As for the shareholders, although some of them are quite close to the uncle.

However, Wang Defa and Liu Dezhu had no relationship or contact with their uncle.

Of course, the possibility that my uncle deliberately leaked the information cannot be ruled out.

As they listened to Zhou Shi'an's account, the two elderly people's expressions became extremely solemn.

Even with the Zhou family's connections and influence, they couldn't find any clues.

There are only two possibilities: either there is a traitor in the Zhou family, or there is a powerful force targeting the Zhou family.

In fact, the other party had already begun making plans 23 years ago.

Now that the enemy is lurking in the shadows, the Zhou family is in a very passive position, regardless of the possibility.

Zhou Shi'an naturally understood what the two elders were worried about, and he offered words of comfort:

"Grandpa and Grandma, you don't need to worry too much."

The fact that they resorted to such despicable tactics as switching children back then shows that they didn't dare to confront the Zhou family head-on.

Actually, I'm more worried about problems within the family.

However, I will always be vigilant and will absolutely not give any malicious individuals an opportunity to take advantage of me!

Hearing Zhou Shi'an's words, the two elders were immediately relieved.

They still trusted this grandson they had carefully raised.

After a long silence, Old Master Zhou suddenly asked another question.

"Shi An, based on your observations, what kind of person do you think Shi Jin is?"

Zhou Shi'an thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "Shi Jin's personality... appears to be quite cheerful and sunny on the surface."

In reality, he has a strong personality and is prone to impulsiveness.

Although I've never seen him fight, I'm sure he's incredibly skilled.

Moreover, I could sense that deep down he possessed a kind of ruthlessness that ordinary people don't have.

Upon hearing Zhou Shi'an's assessment, the two elderly people were visibly taken aback.

"Oh? This kid's been hiding it pretty well; I didn't even realize it."

"Sigh... I can't deny getting old. I'm so old, even I can be fooled now!"

Zhou Shi'an offered no words of comfort to the two men who were expressing their feelings.

It's probably like this as you get older; sometimes you'll reflect on life because of something insignificant.

"Wait, what did you just say? Shi Jin has a fiery temper? And is extremely skilled in combat?"

As if he had just thought of something, Old Master Zhou suddenly stood up.

His sudden question startled Mrs. Zhou, who was standing nearby.

"Old man, why are you making such a fuss?"

The old man did not answer his wife's question, but stared intently at Zhou Shi'an.

His eyes revealed a mixture of excitement, doubt, and disbelief.

Although puzzled by his grandfather's actions, Zhou Shi'an nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, the old man excitedly turned around.

"My dear, do you remember when we saved an old fortune teller back then?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of reminiscence unconsciously flashed across Grandma Zhou's eyes.

"Of course I remember. That old gentleman said that we are destined to be together."

If we stay together in the future, we will surely have many children and grandchildren, and enjoy happiness and good health.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man nodded hurriedly.

"I remember you ran away shyly back then, but you don't know that the old gentleman gave me a comment."

Rarely getting a glimpse into his grandparents' lives, Zhou Shi'an, contrary to his usual self, asked with great curiosity, "What was the commentary?"

Old Master Zhou didn't keep them in suspense any longer. After clearing his throat, he spoke directly:

"As secure as a rock, it safeguards the family business; like embers, it ignites a new era."

Twins, one scholarly and one martial, one calm and one fierce, destined to rule the world!

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

Zhou Shi'an blinked, a question nagging at him:

Goodness, could that "An" be referring to me?

Are there really such extraordinary people in this world?

It's absurd that they can even predict what people will be called decades from now.

Suddenly, Grandma Zhou's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Old man, could this divination be referring to Shi An and Shi Jin?"

At this moment, Grandpa Zhou's excited mood had calmed down considerably.

He went back to the sofa and sat down again.

He then slowly spoke, "That's right, it can't be wrong!"

Originally, I thought Tingxiao was steady and Xubai was active, and I thought they would be the hope of the Zhou family.

As a result, the two grew up to be increasingly skewed; one gave up his position as heir for a woman, while the other only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.

I assumed that the gentleman had miscalculated, and I had almost forgotten about the commentary over the years.

At this point, the old man glanced at Zhou Shi'an with shining eyes.

"Until just now, when Shi An mentioned that Shi Jin had a fiery temper and was skilled in martial arts, I suddenly remembered what the old man had said back then."

It turns out the person mentioned in the comment wasn't our son, but our two beloved grandsons.

Hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Zhou was clearly taken aback.

Unexpectedly, that gentleman turned out to be a very capable person.

However, Old Master Zhou had more to consider. If the prophecy was true, it meant that neither of his grandsons was destined for greatness.

But as the old saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain.

If the two brothers were to turn against each other, it would be a devastating blow to the family.

Thinking of this, the old man's expression became extremely serious.

"Shi'an, Grandpa has a question for you. You must answer truthfully."

Before the other party could ask, he directly asked the question he was concerned about.

"If one day, Shi Jin does something that harms the family's interests or tries to hurt you, what will you do?"

Zhou Shi'an did not make any boastful remarks or guarantees.

Instead, he asked earnestly, "Grandpa, what do you and Grandma want me to do?"

Upon hearing his question, the two elderly people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

That's Zhou Shi'an's style; he doesn't try to please others with his words.

He would only make a promise if the old man made a request and he was sure he could fulfill it.

If he cannot do it, he will tell the truth.

After a moment's thought, Old Master Zhou said in a low voice:

"If he hasn't done anything heinous or betrayed the country, Grandpa hopes you can leave him a way out."

Conversely—eradicate them completely!

The old man spoke the last word without a trace of emotion.

Zhou Shi'an nodded very solemnly: "Grandpa, rest assured, Shi'an will keep your instructions in mind."

After accompanying his parents to buy groceries, Zhou Shijin had just placed one hand on the doorknob of the villa when he felt a sudden chill on the soles of his feet.

What's going on? Could it be that some troublemaker is trying to harm me?

Shaking off unrealistic thoughts, he pushed open the door and called out:

"Big brother, I'm back!"

Looking from afar, I saw my grandparents chatting with my older brother, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhou Shijin held up the bag in his hand as if to take credit: "Big brother, I got a piece of top-quality pork tenderloin, specially made for you to make sweet and sour pork."

Grandpa and Grandma, you two chat for a bit, I'll call you when it's ready!

He spoke as he walked toward the kitchen.

Zhou Xubai and his wife followed behind their son and hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Old Master Zhou couldn't help but snort coldly.

"What kind of ferocious beast am I, old man? I don't eat people, so why are you all running away from me?"

Zhou Shi'an, unusually, made a joke: "You don't eat people, but you're scary!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up.

"Grandpa and Grandma, you should go back to your room and rest. I'll go help out too."

The moment the words left his mouth, he had already disappeared from the living room.

The old man: "..."
