Chapter 56
TL: Mina
Editor: Yuika
On the first weekend after military training, Wei Sihan got up early and went out. Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes, slowly sat up and got dressed, while checking that the spiritual power that was wrapped around Wei Sihan had no problems. After making sure that nothing was wrong, he got out of bed and went to wash his face.
At half past eight, he followed Wei Sihan to a small snack street, and then unexpectedly saw the second male lead, Wei Songning.
Wei Songning had just graduated from college this year and was interning at a law firm. There is still two years before he becomes a famous lawyer. Although this second male lead appeared the earliest, and spent a lot of time with the protagonist, his relationship with the protagonist was the slowest. He had even stopped talking to the protagonist when he found out that he was from the Si family. He had thought that the protagonist was a gold digger, and that he forgot his poor adoptive father when he found his rich biological parents.
The cold relationship lasted for a long time, and it was only later, when Wei Songning just happened to see the protagonist getting bullied by the original Qin Bao, that he gradually began to soften. Wei Songning felt that he had misunderstood the protagonist. He saw that he was not doing well in his biological parents’ home. His heart soften, and he started treating him a little better than before. So, the feelings of the two men gradually warmed up and finally a relationship between the couple was determined after drinking and doing that. But at the time, the protagonist of “simple and kind” actually had two boyfriends, Wei Zhuang and Xing Guan, and secretly developed the spare tires of He Jing and Lu Chen…
This circle really is chaotic, and it was actually doing ** after drinking… Ye Zhizhou flipped through the information while watching the two brothers talking and laughing in the breakfast shop diagonally opposite him, the mood was subtle. This Wei Songning flag is difficult to pull out. After all, he and the protagonist have more than ten years of emotional connection; but it is also easy to pull this flag, he only needs to find the entry point, such as… his father, Wei Jianguo.
Wei Songning was very strong beause of his poor family conditions. The thing he disliked most was anyone looking down on his father. This became more and more serious after his mother died of illness, almost to the point where others could not say anything bad about his father. Part of the reason why later he was able to reconciled with the protagonist so quickly, was because the protagonist was still secretly filial to Wei Jianguo even after he recognized his biological parents.
Still secretly filial to Wei Jianguo… Ye Zhizhou rubbed his chin and turned his hat to the front to cover his face and began to eat his food.
The protagonist is now trying to imitate the original Qin Bao by eating and wearing, but the original Qin Bao's clothes are very expensive. This protagonist right now is the son of a poor teacher. Where did the money he used to buy expensive clothing and limited edition sports watches come from? Moreover, when the protagonist came out to see Wei Songning today, he specially changed the expensive clothes and wore very ordinary shirt and jeans. It seems that those clothes could not be seen by Wei Songning.
After eating and he wiping his mouth, he touched the hair of Wei Sihan that he had taken in his pocket, and his thoughts flying.
Wei Sihan finished the last bit of soy milk and pretended to casually say, “Big brother, you have time go back home on the 11th? Will the company be particularly busy?”
“Even if I'm busy I still have to take the time to to go back and see Dad.” Wei Songning smiled and glanced at him. He said, “Don't worry, you won't have to go home alone. I just got this month's bonus, let's go buy some clothes for you later.”

“No, I have enough clothes to wear, and you should keep the bonus for yourself and Dad.” Wei Sihan said with a sincere face, suddenly frowning and worriedly said, “But I found a part-time job, and on the 11th I have to go to work, what should I do? I want to go back to see father too.”
Wei Songning heard him and frowned. “Didn't we tell you not to find a part time job yet? For you to get used to university life first.”
Wei Sihan bowed his head. “I just fear that father is working too hard and wanted to earn my own living expenses…”
“You are too filial…” Wei Songning's heart softened, raised his hand and touched his hair, and sighed. “Then try to get the 11th off if you can. It's your first time being away from home, and Dad is worried about you. If you can’t go back… tell me in advance, ok?”
Getting the answer he wanted, Wei Sihan nodded hard and looked so obedient.
Ye Zhizhou, who was using his spiritual power to listen to their conversation, raised an eyebrow. Part-time? The protagonist's part-time job only started two months after the start of the school. Why was he lying?

He quickly flipped the original plot data to the 11th and looked at it carefully. This year, the 11th is really ordinary, and there is no key plot point. If there is anything special, it is that Si Youqian did not accompany his family on the 11th, but ran to a holiday resort to accompany a customer.
Turning off the information, he frowned in contemplation. What if what he had suspected before was wrong? The thing about the music disc was not revealed by the Si Yue but by Si Youqian? No wonder he couldn't understand the plot. The family member that was in contact with Wei Sihan was Si Yoqian… So Si Youqian already knew the existence of Sihan? But why didn’t he directly recognize his son, but instead let his own son run to his fake son and act out various reminders?
It was weird, like he was deliberately trying to use his hands to bring out Si Han's identity… wait, borrowing his hands?
He suddenly thought of something, and he unconsciously sat up straight. Why did he have to borrow his hands, is there any special meaning in it? In his brain, he quickly passed through the faces of a few people, and finally stopped at Zhong Min.
The two brothers over there had already finished breakfast and went to the subway station. He hesitated and didn’t keep up with them, but took a ride to Wei Zhuang's office instead.
Detectives have no weekends so the Wei Zhuang, in front of Ye Zhizhou, was still an image of excessive fatigue.
“How did you turn yourself into this?”
Wei Zhuang looked at him with a sigh of relief, and slammed the table. “You leave, whenever I see you I get a headache, I don’t know if I should take your money…”
Ye Zhizhou's sympathy began to flood, and the voice unconsciously went down. "In fact, I came today because there are two things I want to ask you to…"
Wei Zhuang immediately grabbed his hair, “How come there's more?! You are giving me things that are more troublesome than the last. I don’t want to see so many hidden family secrets. I feel like I'm not that far from being murdered! DaBao[1] Ge, please have mercy. Did you know, when I was investigating your information last time, I was found out by another person who was also investigating you. Recently, it was so miserable. I didn't tell you about it to not scare you. But you actually ran here to scare me, are you still a friend?!”
Another person? Who? However, this is not the focus. The current focus is that the identity of Wei Sihan is very suspicious!
Pulling out the hair in his pocket and pushing it towards Wei Zhuang, he solemnly said, “This is the hair of my roommate Wei Sihan. I suspect that he is the son of my dad. Help me to do a paternity test with him and my dad."
Wei Zhuang was shocked. “Wei Sihan? Your roommate? This name… So I can’t find out the whereabouts of your fake mom and dad's son, but you actually met him yourself?!”
He shook his head and took out Zhong Min's hair from another pocket and pushed it across. "This is the hair that I took home from my mom's comb after I met Wei Sihan. For safety, please check that he and my mother are related too.”
The sensitive Wei Zhuang quickly understood the meaning of his words, frowning asked, “So you think this Wei Si Han is your father’s son, but suspect that he is not your mother’s son? So he may not be the child who disappeared that year. But your father’s illegitimate child… then why is he called that name?”
“I’m also confused about that.” He said with some embarrassment, “I just started to notice him because of his name, but later… I don’t know if it's just me, but I think he is dressing up like me, imitating me, and he’s always saying strange things in front of me, like deliberately reminding me to let me doubt my past.” He explained what happened during this time, he continued saying "His behavior is really suspicious, but I think he is not the one who disappeared that year; plus, he and my mother do not look alike…”
Wei Zhuang's brain began to work quickly. He connected what he had just said and the information he had recently found. He was shocked. "I am going to find someone to do these two paternity tests. If I hurry, the results will come out in two days" After finishing, he took the two hair samples, carefully put it away, directly opened the door, and ran.
Ye Zhizhou couldn't stop him, and could only say. “But I haven't given you a hair sample of Si Youqian…”
Two days later, the results came out. Wei Sihan was indeed the son of Si Yougan, but he had no blood relationship with Zhong Min.
He had thought it was the play of a raccoon cat becoming the prince and then the real prince returning, but it turned out that it was a fake prince who wanted to pretend to be the real prince chasing away the raccoon cat.
Wei Zhuang's three views were broken and the information was handed over to Ye Zhizhou. He was further shocked to see that it seemed like Ye Zhizhou had already expected this kind of result. In front of him, he called Si Yue and directly dropped the bomb. "Big Brother, I'm not your real younger brother.” He didn't wait for the other person to reply and continued. “I found your younger brother, but he is not the real younger brother you thought he was. I am now at the Zhuanghe Detective Office on xx Street. Come pick me up, I think we need to talk.” Then simply hung up the phone.
Wei Zhuang was stunned. “You, you let your brother come here to pick you up?”
“Yes.” Ye Zhizhou, of course, replied, “He has a car.”
Wei Zhuang felt guilty. “That, then while you are waiting for your big brother, I, I have something to go do.”
“No need.” Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes and deliberately lowered his voice, a gloomy look on his face. “When I came over last time, you put the phone on the sofa and I happened to see it. You and my brother are good friends, right?"
"No!" Wei Zhuang jumped directly, then carefully looking over, looking sorry. "Well, your brother and I met when I was studying abroad, so I've known him for several years… Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
“It doesn’t matter, I forgive you.” He looked up at him innocently and poked him where it hurt. “As long as you give me another discount.”
“Impossible!”
When Si Yue stepped into his friend’s office, he saw Ye Zhizhou and Wei Zhuang arguing over prices, and seemed to be very harmonious. He stopped, his brow wrinkled more tightly, and he said. “What you said on the phone, who's going to explain it to me?”
Half an hour later, the three were seated in a private restaurant room and they had asked for the most confidential and confidential room.
Ye Zhizhou pushed two photographs of the paternity test and Wei Sihan and whispered, “The information is here, you can see it for yourself. Also, I'm sorry for taking the identity of your brother over these years.”
After a few seconds, Si Yue took over the information and looked at it. After reading it, he looked at Ye Zhizhou with an unclear gaze. For a long time, he suddenly sighed. “I always thought… you were father’s illegitimate child.”
Ye Zhizhou and Wei Zhuang were shocked at the same time, and they said at the same time. “What do you mean?!”
“I was already ten years old when the kidnapping case happened. How could I not notice it when my brother was changed to someone else, even if it was a year later?” Si Yue's eyes flashed with sentimentality and poured himself a cup of tea. Covering his face with the steam. “My father having an illegitimate child I always knew, but mother’s personality is too weak. I dare not speak. Later, the kidnapping case happened. You replaced Xiao Han in family. I thought you were father's illegitimate child.”
There was actually such a secret… Ye Zhizhou is a bit stunned.

“Mother’s mental state was very bad during that time.” Si Yue slowly turned the teacup, and his voice fill with sorrow as he remembered. “I may have hated you for taking up my brother’s identity, but because I was worried about my mother’s condition, I chose to pretend to not notice. I did not want to lose my mother after losing my brother. Later I couldn't help it and ran to ask father, father was surprised, but he quickly confirmed my guess and promised me that taking you in was just to calm my mother. And he has been continuing to looking for Xiao Han. When he finds Xiao Han, he will drive you away. I just didn’t expect this to take more than 10 years.”
“Is that what your father said to you?” Wei Zhuang scowled “Your father is so hateful!”
“I was lied to.” Si Yue put down the teacup, and the sadness in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he turned back into the big brother with hard to read emotions. “I didn’t expect that I would be deceived by my own biological father. This Wei Sihan, I will never let him return to the family.” When he looked at Ye Zhizhou, his eyes with a touch of warmth for the first time. “In fact, you are very good. Although a little willful, my mother likes you very much. These past years… sorry.”
“It's ok, I can understand.” What legitimate child would like an illegitimate child who was pretending to be his missing brother?
“So…” Si Yue hesitated a little, then unexpectedly took the initiative to raise his hand and touch his hair, and asked, “Who are you? Why did your father find you in the past? And you and Xiao Han still look alike.”
“My original name was Qin Bao.” Ye Zhizhou did not dodge his hand. Now the Si Yue is a comrade, shouldn’t irritate his own comrade. “In fact, I can still be called your brother. My biological mother is called Zhong Ke. Your little aunt.”
Si Yue was startled for a moment, then turned sideways to hug him. “You turned out to be the cousin that the mother had been looking for… sorry, and, thank you.” Finding out the truth after so many years. He really has wronged this innocent child for too long.
After the identity of Wei Sihan was found out, the matter was like as if he had found the main thread of web, a simple tug and many things popped up. Wei Zhuang began to investigate again, and Ye Zhizhou was also trying to find clues in the system data.
The illegitimate child could not have suddenly come out from nowhere, and he is curious where he came from.
[1] MC’s real name in this arc is Qin Bao | ??, so Wei Zhuang is calling him ??, kinda like an nickname/endearment
T/N: That was a plot twist, how many of you expect that, I didn’t. I wonder what happened to the real Si Han….>->
