It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Chapter 144 Encountering a Cuckoo Taking Over the Nest

Yun Li was in an exceptionally good mood after injecting Yun Xuan with the mutated plant gene solution.

Even when he walks, he hops and skips, looking just like any other child.

She walked for half a month and arrived at a dilapidated city. She didn't know what the city was called, nor did she bother to find out.

He activated his mental power and scanned the entire city; it was dilapidated and small.

The countries in this world are really poor.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on a family of three eating at a state-run restaurant.

The couple is around 35 years old, and their daughter is around 8 or 9 years old.

She had seen that girl before; her name seemed to be Zheng Yuan.

Her parents died unexpectedly, and she was taken to a little girl named Jiao Jiao's home and asked to be adopted.

Because Jiaojiao had a precognitive dream, in which she gradually became disliked by everyone because of Zheng Yuan's arrival, and even her mother lost patience with her.

He died young.

In contrast to her, Zheng Yuan received everyone's love and sympathy.

Therefore, after discovering that her dream had come true, she resolutely refused her mother's offer to adopt her, Zheng Yuan.

The night before Zheng Yuan arrived, she also told her mother about this nightmare.

Jiaojiao's mother felt sorry for her daughter's dream, but she didn't take it too seriously, after all, Zheng Yuan's parents were alive and well.

But when someone actually brought Zheng Yuan the next day, she became wary.

To prevent her daughter's dream from coming true, she naturally refused.

Yunli was also curious about Jiaojiao's precognitive dream and wanted to find out what was going on.

She forcibly activated her Witch's Eye for the first time to see Zheng Yuan's fate.

Upon closer inspection, the problem was discovered.

Zheng Yuan came here seeking adoption because both her parents had died, but all she saw were her parents still alive.

Since your parents are still alive, why lie to them?

Later, she unexpectedly saw the golden aura in Jiao Jiao's mother's face, and combined with Jiao Jiao's dream, she understood what was going on.

Everything is for money.

They usurped the family's property and seized it.

As Yun Li pondered this, she walked towards the state-run restaurant.

She needed to figure out one thing: whether the couple were Zheng Yuan's parents who had faked their deaths or the family that later adopted her.

If it's the former, she will find out exactly how they were resurrected from their apparent death.

If it's the latter, she'll have to remind the couple.

It wasn't that she was particularly kind; she simply hated things that were usurped.

The state-run restaurant was quite far from where Yun Li had just been. By the time Yun Li arrived, the family of three had already finished eating and left the state-run restaurant.

The couple, each holding one of Zheng Yuan's hands, strolled slowly along the street, looking very affectionate.

Yun Li followed the three of them openly and generously all the way to their home.

This is a detached house with its own courtyard, and the overall area of ​​the house is considered large for this city.

Inside, the furniture looks ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it's all made of precious wood.

Yun Li scanned the room thoroughly, not even missing the floor or the cracks in the walls.

It was finally confirmed that the family was very wealthy.

There is a basement under the house, where rice, flour, grains, oil, and meat are stored.

There is also a basement under the yard, which is obviously sealed off and has no door.

There were sixteen boxes inside, half of which contained gold bars and the other half contained precious porcelain and other valuable items.

In addition, there were two bankbooks and about 20,000 yuan in cash, as well as some receipts, hidden in the wall behind the couple's bed in their bedroom.

Judging from the signs of habitation, there are only three people living in this house, with no other family members.

The most direct way to confirm whether they are Zheng Yuan's biological parents is to take blood samples and verify using the blood sampling method.

She didn't leave; she stayed nearby, waiting for an opportunity to take blood from any one of the three people.

The opportunity came quickly. The next day was Monday. After having breakfast, Zheng Yuan greeted her parents sweetly and left home with her schoolbag on her back.

Yun Li stopped at a bend in the road, keeping a close watch on her with his mental energy.

As she reached the corner, Yun Li dashed out and knocked Zheng Yuan to the ground from the side.

Zheng Yuan froze for a second after falling, then burst into tears, "Waaah, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

Yun Li stepped forward, bent down, and helped her up, offering a half-hearted apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Zheng Yuan shoved Yun Li away, "Are you blind? Why are you running?"

"Waaah..."

She looked up at her arm and saw that it was all cut and bruised, so she cried even louder.

Yun Li looked at the scratch with some regret, unable to squeeze out any blood.

"I want to go home and tell my mom and dad." Zheng Yuan glared at Yun Li and tried to stand up.

Yun Li suddenly pressed her down, and Zheng Yuan felt as if an ant had bitten her neck. She tried to raise her hand to touch it, but everything went black.

Yun Li quickly took out a syringe and pricked her arm. Half a tube of blood was drawn, which woke her up.

Zheng Yuan was somewhat dazed; she had just…

"I'm sorry, here's the money back. Please don't tell your parents, okay?"

Zheng Yuan looked at the five cents lying in her palm, pursed her lips, and thought, "Trying to get rid of a beggar."

She slapped it away, stood up angrily, and said, "Who cares about your little bit of money?"

After saying that, she glared at Yun Li and ran away.

Yun Li watched her retreating figure, then looked at the five cents in her hand. As far as she knew, these five cents were equivalent to most of an adult's daily wage.

That's not a small amount at all.

His mental energy subconsciously glanced at Zheng Yuan, who was walking and blowing on her arm, and finally his gaze landed on her schoolbag.

There was a dozen or so yuan in there, and now Yunli understood why she thought it was too little.

Yun Li put away the five cents, observed his surroundings, and then quietly took out a small basket covered with a cloth from his spatial storage. He then took a drop of blood from the syringe and floated it into the basket.

After the lips moved slightly, the blood droplet stirred.

Yun Li didn't move, because the blood droplets weren't pointing in the direction of the couple's house.

The blood droplet doesn't specifically target the closest relative; it will first follow the bloodline of the closest relative.

The couple is currently at home, and the blood droplets did not lead there, which means they are definitely not Zheng Yuan's biological parents.

As for whether they are relatives, we'll know once we change the incantation and guide them again.

After his lips moved silently, the blood drop still did not point towards the couple.

This confirms that the couple and Zheng Yuan are not related by blood at all, not even by blood.

It's unclear whether they were aware of the adoption or were tricked into it.

Regardless of the circumstances of the adoption, Yun Li's task is to expose the truth.

As for how the couple reacted, that was not something she considered.

A pebble wrapped in a note was thrown into the yard and landed right in front of the man who was pushing his bicycle out the door.

The man picked it up out of curiosity, and his expression changed drastically. He quickly released his bicycle and ran into the house.

The bicycle lost its support and fell to the ground with a thud.

At noon, Zheng Yuan went home for lunch, tearfully showing her parents the injury on her arm and recounting how she was hit by the car that morning.

"Mom and Dad, you don't know how blind that kid is. He just walked straight into us and he was incredibly strong."

"She even gave me 50 cents in the end, but it's not like we're short of money. Who cares about her 50 cents? Humph."

She kept talking, then suddenly realized how quiet it was.

Looking up at my parents, I found that neither of them reacted at all.

Zheng Yuan then noticed that the way the two men looked at her was different from before.

This made her feel a little scared and guilty.

"Mom and Dad, what's wrong?"

The woman smiled, her tone as gentle as ever, "Our Yuanyuan is so strong. She was injured this morning, but she still insisted on attending classes for half a day. She's really amazing."

The man smiled and nodded, looking pleased.

However, if you look closely, you'll find a chilling coldness in his eyes.
