Chapter 932: 719 Su Wen Investigates the Ying Family [Chapter 2]
Twenty years ago, the turmoil in the Leaangle Family was widely talked about.
But over the years, few people ntion it anymore.
Not all residents of the City of the World know the reason for Su Wen’s coma.
The manager noticed the similarity in the girl’s and woman’s features and comnted.
If it’s not the eldest daughter of the Leaangle Family, who else would Su Wen personally bring here to make clothes?
This statent hit the soul directly.
It was like a giant bronze bell ringing in the ears, even Su Wen was shaken to her core.
She was montarily stunned, and tears suddenly fell.
Ying Zijin’s eyes trembled.
The manager was even more startled: “Madam?”
Did he say sothing wrong?
“Sir, Aunt is not my mother.” Ying Zijin supported Su Wen and explained, “The eldest daughter passed away many years ago, hearing such words naturally makes Aunt very sad.”
The manager’s expression changed, and he suddenly knelt down, his voice panicked: “Madam, I misspoke, please punish !”
Su Wen’s daughter died prematurely at birth many years ago, and he said such outrageous words.
He was truly deserving of punishnt!
“What’s the matter, why the need for punishnt.” Su Wen wiped her tears and bent down to personally help him up, smiling, “Don’t worry, when I first saw Yaoyao, I also thought she looked a bit like .”
“I feel a connection with her, let’s not talk about anything else, first take her to make clothes.”
The manager wiped his sweat: “Thank you, Madam.”
He frequently interacted with many nobles and was well aware of how difficult it was to serve those at the top of the social circle.
Once, a clerk accidentally spilled wine on a noble lady’s leather bag and was dragged out by the bodyguards.
If today’s situation were to occur with other elites, his life would probably be at risk.
But Su Wen is not like that.
She often visits among residents and even sets up a fund for donations.
No wonder Su Wen was respected by so many residents back then.
“Miss Ying, this way, please.” The manager said respectfully, “This is our chief fashion designer, feel free to tell her any requests you may have.”
Appreciating Su Wen’s goodwill, Ying Zijin never refuses and nodded slightly: “Thank you.”
She followed the designer into the scanner, which could scan all dinsions, very convenient.
After recording the girl’s asurents, the designer invited her to choose the fabric.
The City of the World is advanced in technology; AI and robots have replaced many manual jobs.
But this fashion shop retains very original designs.
So patterns and thods crafted by hand are incomparable to machines.
The manager once again stepped forward: “Madam, I misspoke. This is a specially-made SVIP card for Miss Ying. Whenever she shops here, the limit is endless and free of charge.”
“No need to be free, just put the bill under my na,” Su Wen said, “You’re small business owners, it’s not easy, but no need to ntion this to her.”
The manager, grasping the intent, replied: “Madam, I understand.”
Thirty minutes later, Ying Zijin ca out.
Su Wen was sitting on the sofa having tea, and looked up smiling: “How’s it going?”
“I picked one gown and three casual outfits,” Ying Zijin took out a card, “Aunt, I should—”
Her hand was gently pressed down.
Su Wen half-teasingly and half-warmly said: “Yaoyao, you saved my life, yet you’re being polite over a few pieces of clothing even when all my assets couldn’t repay you.”
Ying Zijin hesitated for a mont, but still withdrew her hand.
She and Su Wen really connected and could talk about many things.
Even with occasional experintal problems, Su Wen could inadvertently enlighten her.
“Yaoyao, didn’t you say you have a foster father and a younger brother?” Su Wen asked with concern, “Do you want to bring them here? I can help arrange it.”
“Aunt, so things are harder than you think.”
“Are you talking about the Sage?” Su Wen was quiet for a mont, “I also suspect A Yuan’s disappearance has sothing to do with the Sage Academy, otherwise who would dare harm him.”
But there are three problems.
First, as re mortals, they can’t confront the Sages who are revered as ‘divine’.
Second, there’s no trace or evidence of which Sages did it.
Third, the Sages hold such a high status in the City of the World, the residents have great faith in them.
“I’m investigating it.” Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly, she smiled gently, “Aunt, you still need more rest, let take you ho.”

Five o’clock in the afternoon.
The research institute.
On the Engineering Institute’s side.
Dean Norman examined the prepared experintal materials for Ying Zijin and was about to head ho to check on his dogs and cats.
The Dean of the Genetics Institute ca barging in at this ti.
His face was stern as he got straight to the point: “Norman, did you do sothing to my student?”
“Mo Wen is handpicked by the Magician, if anything happens to him, your engineering institute will suffer. Hand him over now!”
“What are you saying?” Dean Norman adjusted his glasses, sneering, “Were you doing biological gene experints and accidentally inserted a foolish deer gene into your DNA?”
The Dean of the Genetics Institute was taken aback, then quickly reacted: “Are you calling foolish?”
“Oh, my mistake.” Dean Norman closed his computer, “A foolish deer is much cuter than you, it should be a paracium.”
“Nor-man!” The Dean of the Genetics Institute was furious, “I won’t argue with you, just hand over Mo Wen.”
“How ridiculous, your Genetics Institute assaulted one of my engineering students, and I haven’t even confronted you.” Dean Norman coldly stated, “Yet you question , you think I am as despicable as your institute?”
The Dean of the Genetics Institute was even more enraged: “Norman, you—”
Before he could finish, Dean Norman suddenly raised the laser cannon on the table and aid it directly at him.
This laser cannon was only recently developed and hasn’t been officially sold on the W-Web.
The Dean of the Genetics Institute didn’t need to guess to know how powerful it was.
He panicked and quickly left, throwing back a threat: “Norman, just wait!”
“Hmph, wait, I shall.” Dean Norman packed the laser cannon into a folding bag, checked the ti, and went to find Ying Zijin.
He specifically established a secret laboratory for Ying Zijin.
“Disciple, Master brought you sothing.” Dean Norman bead proudly, “Your progress is faster than I imagined. You can directly handle S-level experints.”
Ying Zijin received it and flipped through the information: “Okay.”
This ti the S-level experint is more about weaponry than aviation.
After reading, she picked up a piece of candy from the table and handed it over: “Master, for you.”
“Offering candy to your Master?” Dean Norman unwrapped and ate it in one go.
Crunchy, strawberry-flavored.
Pretty tasty.
Dean Norman took a few steps and then seed to recall sothing, turning back to say: “The September selection for the Sage Academy, are you going?”
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly and agreed: “I’ll go for fun.”
“Fun?” Dean Norman’s expression turned serious, “Disciple, you must take care, don’t follow your senior sister’s example and almost blow up the Sage Academy.”
Ying Zijin: “…”
She definitely does not have a hobby of blowing things up.

Late night.
Su Wen went alone to the cetery, once more arriving in front of that small stone tablet.
She knelt halfway, her forehead touching the cold stone, murmuring softly: “Tantan, it’s cooled down today, I wonder if you’re cold, Mom has sewn many clothes for you.”
Saying so, Su Wen opened the box beside her, filled with various clothes.
From clothes for newborn babies to those for a nineteen-year-old girl, not a piece was missing.
These days Su Wen has hardly slept, spending half her ti sewing clothes.
Su Wen lowered her head, wiping her eyes: “Tantan, today soone mistook the little girl I ntioned to you last ti for you, she…”
Like being struck by lightning, the words the manager said that afternoon in the fashion shop resounded in her ears once again.
– “The eldest daughter and madam truly resemble each other, like sisters.”
The manager’s words were casual, yet Su Wen couldn’t settle her heart.
She stood silently in the black cetery, gazing at the tombstone.
Her Tantan was buried by her own hands, she should not have any fantasies.
All her motherly love had died along with this tombstone twenty years ago.
But if…?
Once a certain unbelievable thought began to erge, Su Wen could not help but continue to ponder it.
She turned and left the cetery, heading to the hall, and spoke directly: “Butler.”
The butler hurried over, kneeling on one knee: “Madam, what are your orders.”
“Complete the formalities, leave the city now, and investigate a family for .” Su Wen said word by word, “Hua Country, Shanghai City, Ying Family!”
