The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

"He’s going to inherit a fortune in the future. You need to take him away, now. Take him to Myanmar, to your... what’s it called... Wa State."

The moment he said that, the other man’s expression changed.

"Are you fucking trying to get me killed?"

"Don’t you know people this rich will investigate thoroughly? You kidnap their son, and you want our whole scam operation to get wiped out? You idiot!"

"I think the girl’s a better bet. She’s young, but she’ll grow up to be a pretty little thing. Even now, we can probably sell her."

"I’ll take the little girl. And the boy, I’ll take him too." The man in the Hawaiian shirt smiled. "Then I’ll take the kid to that rich family you mentioned, claim I rescued him at the risk of my own life, and I can probably get a few tens of millions for it!"

’See? My future is secure, just like that.’

’But I can’t give the little girl back. If I return both of them, my cover will be blown, won’t it?’

The driver grew anxious. "I’m the one who brought them here. If you do this, how am I supposed to make a living? How can I keep doing this job? Liu Li’s family will eat me alive!"

The man in the Hawaiian shirt grabbed the driver by the throat. "Don’t worry," he said. "There’s a car ready for you. You can leave right now, go abroad. Your family’s waiting for you at the airport. The money I’m giving you is at least one hundred million. The tickets are all bought. Just go!"

One hundred million yuan ten years ago... that was an insane amount of money!

He could drive for the Liu Group his entire life and never see that kind of money.

So, he agreed without a moment’s hesitation, took the money from the man’s hand, and made a run for it.

After getting in the car, he thought he was heading toward a wonderful new life. Who knew that the moment he stepped on the gas, he would realize something was wrong.

He tried to start the engine...

Then the car went completely haywire, plunging him straight into the river!

The man in the Hawaiian shirt watched this scene with perfect calm.

Then, the man in the Hawaiian shirt carried the little girl into his car.

"Scared?" he asked.

"Mister, I’ll go with you. Please don’t hurt my brother, okay?" She didn’t understand anything, but like a tiny warrior, she stood in front of her brother.

"Well now, what a fine little girl. Don’t worry, I’ll find a good buyer for you."

"Isn’t my brother coming?" She looked out at her brother lying by the riverbank, worried.

"Oh, some of my colleagues will come and take care of him."

With that, he smashed everything in the car that could possibly be used for tracking. The dashcam went completely silent, the screen dark.

...

And that’s where the video ended.

Where there was video, they watched; where there wasn’t, they could still make out the audio. Putting it all together, the picture became mostly clear.

In short, the driver had tried to kidnap them both but was double-crossed by his partner.

So the car was gone, and so was the man.

As for Chen Yufan, he was returned for a ransom, so of course, he was kept alive and well.

Gu Shengsheng looked at Zhang Lianqing, seeking confirmation of the story.

Zhang Lianqing nodded. "This has been a cold case for ten years. Now, we finally have some solid leads. I’ve already sent people to investigate the man in the Hawaiian shirt."

"Chen Yufan, we should be able to find your sister soon."

With this much information, once they found that man, they would know what happened.

At the very least, they could also track down that scam company. The police were already on their way to take the whole operation down.

Chen Yufan nodded. "That’s great. That’s really great."

He looked at Gu Shengsheng, his eyes filled with an indescribable complexity. "Sister Gu."

"Yufan, you can’t keep living in the past."

"Sister Gu, I know." His tears kept falling. "I also know a boy shouldn’t be like me. My sister definitely wouldn’t want to see me like this. She saved me. This only happened to her because she was trying to save me."

"I even think my mom was right when she cursed at me. I really should be dead. Someone like me shouldn’t be alive. I should have been sold off with my sister back then. I was supposed to protect her, not the other way around!"

He was such a useless older brother.

’Yes, I should have died long ago.’

Gu Shengsheng saw his despair and worried he might jump out the window any second. She looked at him and snapped, "I rarely ever scold you!"

"But look at yourself right now. Your family is already in this state. Your mother’s mental health has been unstable for a long time, and your father is always away on business."

"You have to hold this family together, understand? Your sister saved you. If you go and die now, if you cause any more trouble, you’ll be letting her down!"

"I’m very disappointed in you, Chen Yufan," Gu Shengsheng said sternly. "You should live a good life. Live for your sister!"

Just as she finished comforting him, Liu Li went and sat on the bay window ledge.

She was surrounded by a deathly stillness.

"If anyone should die, it should be me," she said. "I’m the one to blame for all of this. That driver... he mainly hated me."

"Back then, I should have treated people better. I shouldn’t have been so young, so willful."

Seeing this, Gu Shengsheng kept talking to her while contacting Yang Jiao. "Don’t come up. Sister Yang Jiao, you wait downstairs with the psychiatrist. I think Liu Li is about to jump."

Yang Jiao sent Gu Shengsheng a photo of the airbag the police had prepared. "Ready and waiting," she replied.

One moment Liu Li was still talking; the next, she leaped from the bay window.

Zhang Lianqing, who had been ready to grab her, couldn’t catch her in time.

She seemed as light as a piece of paper, flying through the air, for whom landing would be a release.

After being caught by the airbag, she was immediately sent to the hospital by an ambulance.

The psychiatrist went along, and Gu Shengsheng and Chen Yufan followed as well.

For once, Chen Yufan wasn’t crying. He just looked at Gu Shengsheng and said, "Sister Gu, I think I know what I have to do now."

"Good. Wait until things at home are settled. Then we’ll go find your sister. We’ll have Officer Zhang take us."

"Everything will be all right."

...

「About a week later.」

Zhang Lianqing called Gu Shengsheng. "We’ve got a lead. Can you come down to the station?"

"The victim’s family is here too."

Gu Shengsheng quickly got ready and drove over in her nondescript, second-hand car.

She was a little surprised when she arrived at the police station. She had assumed only Chen Yufan would be there, but Liu Li was there as well.

Liu Li looked pale and was in a wheelchair. But she had lost her previous aggressiveness and seemed relatively normal.

It seemed she had recently worked through some of her issues, so her demeanor had changed somewhat.

When she saw Gu Shengsheng, she awkwardly picked up a cup and took a sip of water.

Then she looked at Chen Yufan and cleared her throat.

"My mom wanted to thank you for your help with my sister’s case," Chen Yufan said.

"And she also wants to thank you for what you did for her."

Gu Shengsheng saw her awkwardness and asked, "Is Mrs. Chen feeling better?"

Liu Li nodded. "I’m fine."

She paused. "I’m sorry."

The words were sincere and pure.

Just as Gu Shengsheng was about to reply, Liu Li handed her a bank card. "There’s forty million in here."
