The noise outside slowly disappeared. Ye Zhizhou looked through the timeline. He was pleased to find that the plot had only developed to the point where the protagonist had gotten into B University. It was now the end of August. The noise outside was the family helping prepare Si Han's birthday party. Of course, it was the birthday of the original Si Han. The real birthday of of Qin Bao, now known as Si Han, is actually at the end of the year in December. Unfortunately, even Qin Bao himself had forgotten his real birthday.

   An 18 year old's birthday definitely had to be spectacular. Zhong Min was busy preparing for the party,  but Si Youqian, who knew that current son was a fake, was completely uninterested. This att.i.tude angered Zhong Min and she quarreled with him. Si Youqian was wronged by his wife but he could not tell her the truth. His dislike of this counterfeit son became deeper and deeper. He simply left and only came home after the party ended. After thinking about it for a bit and then checking the timeline again, Ye Zhizhou was finally relieved.

This world is simply adorable! Right now, there is only Wei Songning around the protagonist. As long as he waved his hand a bit, the protagonist and the other four male leads may not meet each other at all! Ah, praise G.o.d!

   The phone suddenly rang. He recovered from his fantasy of the successful flag-picking, picked up the original's mobile phone and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows. The person who called was one of the male lords, Xing Guan. The current Xing Guan was the best friend of the fake Si Han, but after the return of the real Si Han, he was the person who was most vicious to Qin Bao!

 As he went over the plot in his head, he answered the phone, and deliberately said in a condemning tone, “Xing Guan, are you really my friend or not! You're actually not coming to my birthday party, no affection at all!”

There was happy laughter on the other side of the phone, and then a clear and full of enthusiasm voice came across the phone. “Isn't it because I'm busy with something else? When this summer camp that my dad sent me to is over, I will fly back to find you! Xiao Han, guess what birthday gift I have prepared for you this time? Guess right and I'll pay for your university food expenses for a year!”

   Gift? Is it the cla.s.sical music disc that Si Han always wanted when he was a child?

 Rubbing his chin, he guessed a few rounds, and then hung up the phone with the excuse that he was busy with guests. It can be seen from the arrangement of the room that the original Qin Bao is a lively boy who likes sports. It was completely different from the protagonist who loved literary and arts since young. This Xing Guan and the original Qin Bao have been friends for more than ten years. What he remembers in his mind was always the preference of the real Si Han when he was a child. Makes people not know what to say, is it to praise him for “deep love” or should he say that he has a big heart?

   He went through the text message of the original Qin Bao and Xing Guan in the phone, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Among these male leads, Xing Guan's hatred against the original Qin Bao was the deepest. Before the appearance of the real Si Han, he believed that the original Qin Bao was the same small child that went through thick and thin with him when he was a child. It could even be said that he was cute and adorable, and however you looked at it, he was pleasing to the eye. After the appearance of the real Si Han, his att.i.tude changed immediately. He said that the original owner was a swindler who s.n.a.t.c.hed the lives of others. He detested the way Qin Bao was bullying the original Si Han, and he wanted to completely erase the original Qin Bao from the world.

   It really was a confusing love and hate.

   After thinking about it for a while, he jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. He put on the birthday outfit prepared by Zhong Min for the original Qin Bao, Ye Zhizhou appreciated the handsome and sunny face of the original Qin Bao, and opened his door while smiling.

   The maids in the hall were picking up the pieces of the vase on the floor, and Zhong Min was sitting on the sofa and crying silently. He made a surprised expression and walked quickly to Zhong Min, before sitting down and holding her shoulder. He worriedly asked, “Mom, why are you crying? What happened to that vase? Right, where is Dad?”

"Mom isn't crying, just… had some sand in my eyes." Zhong Min saw her son coming over and wiped her tears and rubbed her face to cover it up. She forced out a smile, raised her hand, and helped adjust his bow tie. She said, “This outfit is good, let's wear this tonight!” "

   Ye Zhizhou looked at her trying to pretend that nothing was wrong, and his heart went soft. He couldn't help but hug her. “It's okay, I will protect you.” In the whole story, only Zhong Min, even after finding out the truth, still treated the original Qin Bao the same as before.

   The last one to know the truth was her, and the one who was hurt the most was also her. Qin Bao and Si Han these two, one was her son, and the other was her nephew who she raised as her son. She was caught in the middle of the two. She tried hard to ease the situation between the two of them, but she didn't succeed. Later, Qin Bao's plan to frame Si Han failed and landed him in prison, where he died a violent death. Once she learned of this she was. .h.i.t hard and her depression came back. Not even two years later, she pa.s.sed away.

Hearing his words, Zhong Min's tears that had she had been holding back suddenly ran down, and she patted him on the shoulder, laughing while crying. "You, why are you suddenly saying this…ok ok, stop teasing your mom, you're already someone who's about to go to college, you can no longer be spoiled by me.”

   “Obviously it's Mother being spoiled by me, I am a man now.” He relaxed his arms and remembered the attachment of the original Qin Bao to Zhong Min mentioned in the plot. He couldn't help but say, “Mom, the birthday party tonight, let's make it just the two of us. Grandpa is so busy, Dad will probably not make it either, and Brother went on a business trip… Ok? Just the two of us, we are going on a date!”

   “Stop fooling around!” Zhong Min's mood was lightened by him. She laughed. “The invitations have been sent out already. The hotel banquet is also set. You can't think of it. As for your father and the others, they…”

   “I know, they are busy, I understand.” Ye Zhizhou was afraid that she will continue to be sad, so he changed the topic and said, “Mom, is the key to the old house still with you? I want to go see it tomorrow.”

"Why are you going to the old house for?” Zhong Min did not suspect anything, directly let the servant bring bag, took a bunch of keys from it and handed it over. “The longest one is the key to the front door. Xiao Han, why do you suddenly want to go to the old house?”

   “Wanted to get some things from when I was younger.” He answered vaguely, then asked Tongtian for a pill. He got up to make a cup of tea for her, poured a cup of tea, put in the pill and gave her the tea. "Mom, after you have finished drinking the tea, go to sleep for a while. It's still early for the birthday party. You go take a rest.”

   “So considerate today?” Zhong Min took a sip of tea and the smile on her face became deeper. “I always feel that the tea Xiao Han makes is especially good to drink. When you grow up, your mother can rest a.s.sured.”

   Ye Zhizhou listened to her gentle voice, looked at the joy in her eyes, and smiled.

   The evening banquet was very big, and many guests came, but none of the men in the house came. The guests came over earnestly, but the host family had only one woman and Xiao Shouxing[1] to show hospitality. This was really awkward. Fortunately, there was Ye Zhizhou, this old thing who has lived for a few generations and his lively atmosphere to brighten things up. This birthday banquet actually had a hot start, and then it ended even more lively.

While sending off the guests, Zhong Min listened to the guests' praise of Ye Zhizhou, and smiled very happily. He couldn't see the sadness that that he saw at home this afternoon. Ye Zhizhou stayed on the side and secretly deleted the birthday message sent by Si Yue.

   Si Yue, the president of the company, was 5 years older than Si Han. After Si Han's kidnapping case, he was sent to the grandparents' home by Si Youqian at the first opportunity and was only taken back one year later. He did not seem to realize that Qin Bao was a fake. There was no difference between him and the former Si Han, but Ye Zhizhou, who had read the system information, definitely knew that this big brother had already found out that his brother had been replaced!

   What kind of brother, after discovering the abnormal behavior of his brother, would not think to talk to his brother, but to invite private investigators to investigate? What kind of brother would miss his brother's birthdays so often? There is also the grandfather, who was definitely a person who knew! Otherwise, he could not explain his affection towards his grandson and the coldness and resistance to the original Qin Bao.

   Si Youqian returned home after the birthday party, and then faked regret. Zhong Min was soft and quickly forgave him. Ye Zhizhou simply turned his face and went upstairs, perfectly playing a willful adolescent boy that still wanted attention from his father.

Early the next morning, Ye Zhizhou left home early to go to the old house, and went straight to the attic to take out the photo alb.u.m that let the original owner found the truth. And then took a ride to the busiest street in the city of B, and found in a street corner, Wei Zhuang's detective office that he recently opened.

As one of the male leads, Wei Zhuang's appearance far exceeds the pa.s.sing line and went straight to enchanting. Ye Zhizhou was shaken by his peach blossom eyes[2], avoiding his line of sight and taking the alb.u.m out and pus.h.i.+ng it across the desk. “I suspect that I am not the biological son of my parents. I want you to investigate it for me.”

   Wei Zhuang looked away from him and boringly flicked his fingers, “This is simple. You can get some of your parents hair or nail clippings. I will get you a DNA test, whether you are their son or not you will soon know.”

   Ye Zhizhou said nothing to him. “Do you not record customer information?”

   “Oh, I almost forgot.” Wei Zhuang suddenly realized, pulled out a data card from the drawer and smiled. “Sorry, the business has not been open for a long time, and I'm still a bit unskilled.”

Ye Zhizhou looked around at this small, chaotic and especially new office, and asked quietly, “I am not the the first client you received right…?”

   “How is that possible!” Wei Zhuang immediately reacted, slapped the data card, and his peach blossom eyes quickly blinked a few times, “You're really not cute, this is such a big office, don't know how much business there is every day! I'm taking on your small case because I find you pitiful, don't make trouble ah.”

   Sure enough, it was his first business… Why was the male lead not like what was described in the original plot…not a bit mysterious and capable…

   Ye Zhizhou moved away from his line of sight, whispered, “Are you still going to record my information?”

   Wei Zhuang rolled his eyes, rummaged around a bit, pulled out the pen and twisted off the cap, “Name?”

   “Si Han.”

“Oh, Si. ah? Sihan?!” Wei Zhuang blinked his peach eyes and began to unconsciously appeal to him. “You just said what you want to investigate what? Do you suspect that you are not your parents biological child?!”

   “Yeah.” Ye Zhizhou put on a lost look and handed the alb.u.m in his hand over again. “Yesterday was my birthday. I heard my parents quarreling. Dad seemed like he really did not want to celebrate my birthday. I am in a bad mood today. I went to the old house where I used to live and looked around.”

   Turn the photo alb.u.m to the end and took out a small photo from the family section. “The bigger child in this photo is my brother, but this smaller one is not me.” Turning over the photo, pointing to the back text, “August 23, 20xx, Xiao Han's birthday, with brother in the back garden, this is Xiao Han, not me, and I found that I have no memory with my family before the age of five, plus my father seems to have never like me much……”

   Wei Zhuang gradually became serious and looked at the photo in his hands. He looked at him carefully and asked, “Are you sure the child in this photo is not you?”

“Yes, absolutely sure.” He nodded his head and bowed his head to prevent the other person from looking at the expression on his face. He said, “Besides Dad, my brother has never been very fond of me… Mom said that I was kidnapped when I was five years old. I lost my memories because of shock, but sometimes I dreamed about some things from my childhood. In my dreams, I lived not in the big house in the photo, but in a very small and dark room. And… I remember when I was young, everyone called me Xiao Bao, not Xiao Han. My name was only changed to my current name after I was five years old…”

   Wei Zhuang looked at the soft hair on his head, his brows were twisted, and he felt a little sympathy for him. Judging from these narratives, the child's past definitely had problems, and the child is so pitiful. He wanted to find a detective agency to check his past. How unlucky to have found him. Thinking of his friend Si Yue's ice cold face. That frozen face, he could not help but mourn in his heart. Hey, such a lovely younger brother, even if they are not actually blood related how can he ignore him.

   “Your case is accepted. But… can I ask why you came to my detective agency?”

Ye Zhizhou raised his eyes and looked innocent. “Because you're cheap, the sign outside the door said that you're a new store, giving a 30% discount. That, I don't have much pocket money. Can you give me a cheaper price?”

   “…no! Double charge! No money go find your brother for money! It is not easy for me to run a business!” Wei Zhuang directly denied.

   Ye Zhizhou looked at his enchanting face while he said that he needed to be reasonable, and his heart hurt. How did this idiotic person become the mysterious detective in the original plot? How incredible!

    One of the two was thinking, ‘He doesn't know that I already know his relations.h.i.+p with Si Yue. I want to play with him a bit.' While the other side is filled with thoughts like: ‘He doesn't know that I am actually his big brother who may not be his actual brother's friend, and to not shock him, I will continue to let him not know.”‘And, ‘I never imagined that my first business is to check the family issues of my friends, the world is changing too fast, so frightened to be so unprepared.‘

The information was successfully recorded, and Ye Zhizhou paid the deposit. Wei Zhuang received the photo as a clue. The two people said goodbye and looked at each other with sympathy in their eyes.

   Ah, what a idiotic man.

   Ah, what a poor brother.

   The small mirror shook a bit and popped out the screen. [The relations.h.i.+p between Wei Zhuang and the protagonist fell to 70%. Please continue your efforts, host. ]

   Ye Zhizhou: “…” The mind of the big detective, don't guess, you'll keep on guessing and guessing forever.
