Chapter 692: Is It Really Brother Yi?

~7 min read 1,327 words

"This... how could..." The young woman was shocked. "Is this true?"

Yue Moli didn't speak again, but leaned against the back of the chair and rubbed her brow.

From the first moment she saw Xu Tian, she knew that this person was definitely Yun Mufeng, and Jiang Chuan had also confirmed the scar on his body.

Other things could be faked, but the scar on Yun Mufeng's body was very difficult to imitate.

Yun Mufeng was taken away by his grandfather during his childhood; he didn't spend much time with the Yun family, and Yun Mufeng's character of reporting good news but not bad news naturally wouldn't tell Madam Yun and Mr. Yun about his injuries.

Only those closest to him knew the location and shape of this scar.

Others simply couldn't imitate an identical scar.

And although Yun Hexian could be considered a relative by Yun Mufeng's side, his relationship with Mufeng was somewhat subtle, so he didn't know the specific location and shape of the scar on Mufeng's shoulder. Even if he could tamper with other places to let an impostor successfully enter the Yun family, a fake couldn't be real. Even if Yue Moli hadn't been to the Yun family, she knew that the current young master of the Yun family wasn't Yun Mufeng himself.

"My Lady, I have heard of memory transplantation surgery, but there is no successful precedent yet. I didn't expect that someone would be so insane as to perform this kind of surgery on someone!" The young woman tried to calm her emotions and spoke indignantly. "Are they treating Young Master Mufeng as a test subject? Or is it simply the work of his enemy, wanting to torture him? Regardless, this method is too vicious!"

"Mu Ting, you and Yaorao leave for Huaxia immediately." Yue Moli thought for a moment and spoke again. "Mufeng should have lived in Huaxia before. You go and investigate who erased his original memories and turned him into what he is now."

"Yes!" Mu Ting's expression tightened, and she hurriedly replied.

"Catch everyone he knew in Huaxia and interrogate them strictly. Once you find out who did it, tear them to pieces for me!"

Yue Moli's face still wore a faint smile, but only those who truly understood her knew that this was the precursor to the dark queen's anger.

This time, someone had truly touched Yue Moli's reverse scale. "As you command!"

After Mu Ting responded, she immediately got out of the car, and her figure soon disappeared at the end of the street.

At the same time, Xu Tian was working in the office.

He also couldn't understand why he was a life of toil everywhere he went. He didn't expect that sitting in the Wolf King's position would be so busy, even busier than when he started his business in Huaxia.

Besides the daily documents that needed signing, there were also some decisions regarding the relationship between the Azure Wolf Hall and other organizations that needed to be determined.

But the key was that Xu Tian knew nothing about the grudges between these gangs and couldn't easily make any decisions.

If he were exposed, he wouldn't have enough lives to lose.

"Brother Yi."

Someone knocked on the door outside.

"Come in," Xu Tian said.

The people who came in were Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu.

Xu Tian only looked up at them once before lowering his head to focus on the documents in front of him.

"Brother Yi, have the documents for you been processed?" Zhong Ling's eyes kept scanning Xu Tian, clearly carrying probing.

"No." Xu Tian said irritably. "I've only been at headquarters for one morning; do you really think I'm a robot?"

"Brother Yi, why are you so attentive to the headquarters' affairs this time you returned, even personally approving documents? This doesn't look like you at all." In just one morning, the little girl Zhong Yu had changed into a strawberry-laced dress, paired with pink bows and twin tails, making her look even more childish. When Xu Tian saw her, he had the illusion that he was employing child labor.

"You just returned, you don't need to be so dedicated. It just so happens that an elder found a pottery jar to show his filial piety to you, but it was intercepted by me and Zhong Ling halfway and brought up directly. Can you take a look for us and see if this pottery jar is real?"

"Pottery jar?" Xu Tian was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong? Don't you usually like antiques, Brother Yi?" Zhong Ling asked calmly. "Or have your tastes changed now, and you don't like these anymore?"

"I've been drifting for the past few years, so naturally, I haven't had time to collect these." Xu Tian lowered his head and sneered.

This Zhong Ling was here to test him again.

"What kind of pottery jar? Take it out and let me see. I haven't studied these for a long time; maybe I'll make a mistake too."

Zhong Ling was stunned. "Making a mistake" was a term in the antique circle; laymen wouldn't understand it at all.

This man actually knew it too. Could it be that he really was Brother Yi?

But soon she dismissed this thought.

Even if this person knew the terms of the antique circle, it didn't necessarily mean he was Brother Yi.

Brother Yi's appraisal ability for antiques was one of the best in the entire Wuji Island antique circle. If he couldn't say what it was after seeing the pottery jar, then it was fake.

Actually, this pottery jar was specially arranged by Zhong Ling, letting a black market vendor sell it to that uninformed high-level member. It looked like an antique without flaws, but in reality, it was a fake that could pass for the real thing.

According to normal logic, no one would suspect that a subordinate would dare to send fake goods.

If the person in front of her was really an impostor, he definitely wouldn't be able to see the authenticity of the pottery jar. As long as he said the pottery jar was real, then it could be directly concluded that he wasn't the real Brother Yi.

Zhong Ling made up her mind and opened the brocade box she brought in front of Xu Tian.

"Is this the pottery jar you're talking about?" Xu Tian didn't even reach out; he just swept a glance at the thing lying in the brocade box and said coldly, "It seems I really have been away for too long, to the point that they dare to use this kind of thing to fob me off."

"What? Brother Yi, you're saying this pottery jar is fake?" Zhong Yu leaned over in surprise. "No way, Elder Li is a professional collector; how could he buy fake goods?"

Xu Tian looked at Zhong Ling and said meaningfully: "If it's impossible for him to buy fake goods, then isn't it that he deliberately used this thing to disgust me?"

"Brother Yi, what do you mean by this?" Zhong Ling's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't hold her face up.

Just now, the man in front of her suddenly turned cold. She was a bit dazed; she was too familiar with that expression—it was Brother Yi's reaction when he was angry.

But... was this person of unknown origin in front of her really Brother Yi?

"You're still asking me what I mean?" Xu Tian slapped the table hard, sweeping the brocade box on the table to the ground. "Ever since I returned, there have been many rumors at headquarters, and some even say I'm an impostor. Today you sent me another fake. If this isn't a provocation, then what is it?"

"Brother Yi, calm down, maybe Elder Li made a mistake." Zhong Yu explained heartlessly. "But how did you see that this pottery jar is fake? I think it looks quite real." ===== CHAPTER 693 =====
