Chapter 133: Sky Screen Live Streaming System (8)

~8 min read 1,428 words

Xie Yang wasn't entirely acting; the tragedy that befell the original owner's family truly made her sigh.

Xie Yang's parents who died in a car accident, Xie Ci who passed away shortly after she transmigrated, and the original owner who was bullied by terrible relatives until she fell into depression and suffered a heart attack.

The most miserable of all were the original owner's niece and nephew; if she hadn't transmigrated, they would have faced half a year of imprisonment and abuse, eventually dying in the Sub-system's self-detonation.

Xie Yang held the niece and nephew's small hands and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "My brother... that is, your father, has he been doing well all these years?"

It was better not to mention it; the moment she did, Xie Jilin's eyes turned red again.

Xiao Jinchu also pouted her little mouth and, with a sobbing tone, told Xie Yang, "Daddy and Mommy were blocked by bad people, and they told me and Brother to run fast..."

"What!" Zhou Liang stood up abruptly upon hearing this. "Your parents ran into bad people? Where are they? Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Xie Jinchu was so startled she shivered and burst into tears.

Fu Ying patted Zhou Liang. "Why are you being so fierce!"

Zhou Liang: "..."

Was he being fierce?

He was just anxious!

Xie Yang simply pulled her niece onto her lap. "Don't cry, don't cry. The police uncle is just worried that something happened to your father."

"Daddy... hic!" Xiao Jinchu said intermittently between hiccups, "Is... gone! Daddy... Mommy... hic! Are both gone! Brother and I... woke up... and couldn't find them... hic!"

Zhou Liang and the others looked shocked: Xie Ci had gone missing again?

Xie Jilin, while shedding tears profusely, covered his sister's ears and choked out, "They aren't just gone; they perished together with the bad people."

He had heard a earth-shattering roar, and afterward, he saw neither the bad people chasing them nor his father and mother calling for them, so he guessed they were in grave danger.

In his panic, he wanted to turn back to find them, but unexpectedly, he missed his footing and fell off a cliff with his sister, and when he woke up, he was here.

He had originally thought this was the Heavenly Palace, the place where immortals lived.

It wasn't until this woman who claimed to be their aunt arrived that she said she was their aunt, and her older brother—their father—had gone missing in a car accident seven years ago.

He didn't quite understand what a car accident was, but seven years ago...

Wasn't that the year his father and mother met, and the year he was born?

Last Mid-Autumn Festival, he had accidentally heard his father and mother chatting while admiring the moon; his mother teased his father, saying that when they first met, he looked like a destitute beggar, his clothes barely covering his body, his hair short and prickly...

In that case, was his father truly the older brother of this woman before him? Did he come from this world?

"Don't cry, babies. Auntie is here. Auntie will stay with you to find your father."

Seeing Xie Yang softly comforting his sister, Xie Jilin looked at her earnestly and asked with a choked voice, "Are you really our aunt?"

Xie Yang's eyes reddened as she touched his small face, wiped away his tears, and nodded at him. "I believe you are my niece and nephew. If you are worried, we can do a kinship test."

After saying this, she turned to ask Zhou Liang, "Officer Zhou, do you know if the nearby hospital has a kinship testing service?"

Zhou Liang actually really wanted to clarify what exactly happened to Xie Ci—one moment he was missing, the next he had perished with bad people.

He had just asked his colleagues in the municipal bureau's criminal investigation department in their group chat, and he hadn't heard of any homicides in any jurisdiction over the last two days. Could it be that there was a problem with the film crew the little actor was in?

Pulled by Fu Ying and seeing her give him a look, he immediately realized.

That's right! The two children's emotions weren't very stable right now; he figured that was the reason Xie Yang didn't continue asking, but instead planned to do the kinship test first.

Thus, he nodded and said, "There is. A previous case involved identifying relatives, and I accompanied the parties involved to do it. But at this hour, the hospital is probably about to close. Let me help you ask first."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and confirmed with an acquaintance working at the hospital.

Upon learning that the person from the missing person's advertisement had been found, the other party immediately stated that they could do it for the aunt and niece/nephew if they came over now, but the results would take until tomorrow at the earliest.

"That's fine, we'll go over now."

A kinship test was also an important step in the process of recognizing relatives. Fu Ying grabbed her notepad and drove them to the hospital.

Xie Yang held Xiao Jinchu in the back seat, next to Xie Jilin, who sat bolt upright and looked around with curiosity.

There was no place to borrow a child safety seat on such short notice, but fortunately, the hospital was only two kilometers from the Police Station, so they arrived as soon as the gas pedal was pressed.

Along the way, Xie Yang heard Fu Ying describe how the two children arrived at the Police Station:

"... A girl named Chen Sisi helped call the police and drove away the homeless man. She was still waiting in the lobby this morning... I can't blame her for being curious; everyone wants to know if your brother has been found, and whether these two children are really your niece and nephew..."

Xie Yang expressed her understanding and asked Fu Ying to help arrange a meeting with Chen Sisi, as she wanted to thank her in person.

While the two were chatting, the children watched the scenery flying past outside the car window without blinking.

"So fast!"

Xiao Jinchu's almond-shaped eyes widened in wonder.

Xie Jilin let out an "um," his dark, bright eyes fixed on the window. He heard the adults chatting and calling this a car, but it was much faster than a carriage! And it ran so fast without being pulled by livestock; it was truly magical!

It wasn't just the siblings; the audience in Daliang under the Sky Screen were also watching intently:

【This square box, it runs really fast!】

【I don't see any oxen, horses, or mules; how does it run?】

【That woman in the front, what is that round dial she is turning in her hand?】

【The roads in the Heavenly Palace are so wide! There are so many of these square boxes running on them.】

【Is this the carriage that immortals ride in? It's much more useful than our mule carts and horse carriages!】

【The woman holding the Princess claims to be the Imperial Son-in-law's sister and the Little Marquis and Princess's aunt. Is it true? Does that mean the Imperial Son-in-law comes from the Heavenly Palace?】

【Aren't they going to the medical hall to do some kind of test? Is it blood-drop kinship recognition?】

Here, Xie Yang and her group had already arrived at the hospital entrance.

In a rush, Xie Yang picked up her niece, holding her with one arm while taking her nephew's hand with the other, and walked quickly into the hospital.

"Aren't you tired like that? Let me help you hold her for a while."

As Fu Ying spoke, she reached out to hold Xiao Jinchu, but the little one turned her head and hugged Xie Yang's neck tightly.

Fu Ying: "..."

Fine! Then she would hold the brother's hand.

Xie Jilin pursed his lips and held Xie Yang's hand tighter.

Fu Ying laughed despite herself: "The appraisal hasn't even been done yet, and he's already set on you as his aunt."

Xie Yang smiled with soft features: "This is the bond of blood."

When they arrived at the blood draw area, Fu Ying told the aunt and her two nephews to wait at the window while she went to find the doctor Zhou Liang had contacted to get the order forms.

Xie Yang stuffed a bank card into her hand: "The password is six eights; deduct however much it costs directly from the card."
