Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Snapped!"

The head housekeeper slapped Guo Meimei hard across the face, instantly causing half of her face to swell and turn red, with five clear finger marks visible.

"oops."

Guo Meimei screamed and covered her swollen cheek, completely stunned by the blow.

She never expected the head housekeeper to slap her.

Still not satisfied after slapping her, the head butler roared, "You idiot! Didn't you tell Liang Yanhong beforehand? Why is Qin Huanhuan behaving this way?"

"They even called us liars."

Guo Meimei's eyes welled up with tears of grievance, but even though she felt extremely wronged, she dared not cry. She forced back the burning pain and weakly said, "I did talk to Liang Yanhong, but this was also my first time calling Qin Huanhuan. Besides, you were there the whole time, and you participated in the conversation with Qin Huanhuan. How can you put all the blame on me?"

"snort!"

The head butler snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Damn it, you're still trying to argue? Your conscience is utterly wicked."

Guo Meimei looked at the head housekeeper in surprise and said, "Are you from Xiao Rizi country?"

The head butler beckoned to the man in black and said, "Lock her up. Don't let her out without my order."

The man in black cupped his hands and said, "It's the head steward."

The head butler turned and left, soon arriving at a quiet little courtyard.

at this time,

Inside the room, Liu Shiyuan was drinking tea and chatting with Sanmu Dan.

When Liu Shiyuan saw that Miki Hiroo looked unhappy as he walked in, he poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Miki Hiroo, did things not go smoothly? Have some tea to calm your temper. It's New Year's Eve today, so it's not a good time to get angry."

The head butler just now was none other than Miki Hiroo.

Miki Hirofu picked up his teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and put it down, saying, "Sir, that Qin Huanhuan is much more difficult to deal with than I imagined. I just spoke to her on the phone, and that bitch actually called us liars. It's fucking hilarious."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyuan was not angry but smiled and said, "That's normal. After all, there are too many phone scams these days. Qin Huanhuan has always lived with her adoptive mother. Now that a biological father and an aunt have suddenly appeared, she needs time to accept it. I'm not afraid that she won't believe it, but I'm afraid that she will tell Xiao Zhan about it. With Xiao Zhan's intelligence, our plan will probably be ruined."

Miki Hiroo: "Sir, what should we do now?"

Liu Shiyuan took a sip of tea and said, "There's no use being anxious now. Qin Huanhuan is cultured and thoughtful, unlike Liang Yanhong who is easily fooled. Can she be an ordinary person following Xiao Zhan? We need to find a way to subtly and gradually infiltrate Qin Huanhuan's mind and then control her to use her for our own purposes."

Miki Hiroo: "The key is that she thinks we're liars. She doesn't believe anything we say, so we don't know where to start."

Liu Shiyuan looked at Sanmu Dan, who had remained silent, and asked, "What are your thoughts, Master?"

Sanmu Dan picked up the freshly boiled teapot and refilled the teacups in front of everyone before slowly saying, "One should not be too hasty in everything. As the saying goes, 'Too much rigidity leads to breakage, and too much wisdom leads to harm.' It is better to let things settle down first; perhaps there will be unexpected surprises and gains."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What does the master mean?"

Sanmu Dan clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, it can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. Success will come naturally with enough effort, and the seed of the first step has been planted. Now let's see if it sprouts."

Liu Shiyuan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite…

After the snow, the sky cleared in Beijing this winter. The midday sun was bright and warm, and the temperature was about ten degrees higher than yesterday. Bathing in the sunshine felt like being in a spring breeze.

The Spring Festival is here, is spring far behind?

A Maybach drove out of the villa area.

Since they were going back to the Xiao family compound for a family banquet, Xiao Zhan drove himself, and Qin Huanhuan sat in the passenger seat.

Today, the whole country is on holiday, so the main roads leading out of the city are packed with cars, mostly migrant workers rushing home for the Spring Festival. The roads in the city center are not so congested.

As Xiao Zhan drove, he said, "Huanhuan, why did you think of recording just now?"

Qin Huanhuan turned to look at Xiao Zhan and said, "Honey, do you want to hear the truth?"

Xiao Zhan: "Of course."

Qin Huanhuan: "At first, my mom told me mysteriously that my aunt had found her. My first reaction was that it was a scam, because I had never heard of me having an aunt. But I was also very curious and wanted to see how these people could deceive me and my mom. So I made a recording when I made the call, thinking that I would have evidence if I called the police later."

Xiao Zhan continued to coax him, asking, "So what are you thinking now?"

Qin Huanhuan: "Honey, you told me it was true right after you listened to the recording, which means you already know the whole story. I'd like to hear your opinion."

at this time,

It was a red light.

Xiao Zhan parked the car and reached into the toolbox under the passenger seat to take out a document, handing it to Qin Huanhuan and saying, "You are indeed Qin Hanwen's daughter, and that boss lady is indeed your aunt."

Qin Huanhuan saw that it was a paternity test report.

Curious, she opened it and her eyes widened in surprise, for she saw her own name written on it.

I quickly flipped to the last page and saw the identification conclusion: "Qin Hanwen is Qin Huanhuan's biological father. This DNA test is only responsible for the submitted sample."

Qin Huanhuan looked up at Xiao Zhan and asked, "When was this paternity test done?"

As Xiao Zhan drove, he said, "When I found out that Qin Hanwen was your father, I secretly took biological samples from both of you. Do you remember the last time we went to that local restaurant? I went out to chat with Boss Qin and smoke, and that's when I got his sample."

Qin Huanhuan glanced at the identification date; it was ten days ago.

So he asked, "So you knew all along that Qin Hanwen is my biological father and that the proprietress is my aunt? Then why didn't you tell me for so long?"

Xiao Zhan forced a smile and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that I can't. Qin Hanwen is involved in a major case, and he has multiple murders on his hands. Most importantly, he is also implicated in a major treason case."

Qin Huanhuan exclaimed in astonishment, "Treason case?"

Xiao Zhan: "Yes, so Qin Hanwen was secretly detained by us after his fight with Qin Hanwu. The person who contacted you earlier, who claimed to be the head steward, is one of the people involved in the case. Moreover, this person is from the Little Country, named Miki Hongfu. His master is Liu Shiyuan, who was once a high-ranking official in the Dragon Kingdom. We have now discovered through our investigation that Liu Shiyuan is also from the Little Country. However, his family has been infiltrating our country since his father's generation, so the case is very complicated."

Qin Huanhuan was speechless upon hearing this...

Wow, my perception has really stifled my imagination...

There are even cases where the fathers have been undercover agents since their fathers' generation.

Isn't this a family tradition of espionage?

It sounds like a story.

Qin Huanhuan asked, puzzled, "Since you already know, why don't you arrest them?"
