The look of triumph in Pei Zhengwei's eyes grew even stronger.
"I'm sorry, I really don't rember. I suffered a brain injury and lost a lot of my mories."
Pei Zhengnian lowered his eyelids, hiding the sorrow in his eyes.
If he truly didn't rember, would he have tried to harm him repeatedly?
If it were just harming him alone, that might be one thing, but his actions also targeted his comrades-in-arms. Was this man really still his forr elder brother?
"Ai~~~"
Pei Zhengnian let out a deep, heavy sigh.
He raised his head, his eyes filled with pain.
"Big brother, if you don't believe , we can go for a paternity test."
Pei Zhengwei was a skilled actor; a perfectly asured flicker of confusion passed through his eyes.
Sun Xuelin looked at his own regint leader, then at the man opposite him. After wrestling with it for a long ti, he forced out a sentence against his better judgnt,
"Actually, looking at you both... your builds and your bearing are quite similar."
Similar?
Pei Zhengnian was over 185 cm tall, while Pei Zhengwei was only 170 cm.
Pei Zhengnian had sharp eyebrows and bright, star-like eyes; Pei Zhengwei had small, beady eyes.
Pei Zhengnian's face was perfectly sculpted as if by divine craftsmanship; Pei Zhengwei had a square, "national character" face.
These two brothers truly shared no resemblance whatsoever.
Sun Xuelin had t Father Pei, Pei's Mother, Grandpa Pei, and Grandma Pei, and he really couldn't see who Pei Zhengwei took after.
As for the younger ones, Pei Yunxi and Pei Yunzhou, their features did bear so resemblance to Pei Zhengnian.
But then again, perhaps Pei Zhengwei just happened to inherit all the less favorable traits from the family?
Sun Xuelin kept his thoughts to himself and didn't voice them aloud.
Seeing that the act had gone on long enough, Pei Zhengwei began to wrap things up.
"Fine, then let's go get tested."
"Alright."
Pei Zhengnian and Pei Zhengwei entered the hospital together.
Because the matter was of great importance, special procedures were followed. After their blood was drawn, the military hospital gave it top-priority processing.
Blood Sample Analysis Lab.
The blood samples from Pei Zhengnian and Pei Zhengwei had been delivered. The doctor in charge was preparing to extract leukocyte antigens for comparison.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
The doctor opened it to find Jiang Shuyi standing there.
She was holding a stack of blood sample containers.
"These are the blood samples collected today. I'm delivering them."
"Okay, please wait a mont."
The doctor, who was about to begin the extraction experint, started to remove his gloves but was stopped by Jiang Shuyi.
"If it's inconvenient for you, I can help bring them in!"
"That would be great, thank you so much."
Without giving it much thought, the doctor let Jiang Shuyi in.
"Should I put them here?"
With her system's reminder, Jiang Shuyi quickly spotted the blood samples belonging to Pei Zhengnian and Pei Zhengwei.
With her back to the doctor, she swiftly withdrew Pei Zhengnian's blood sample and replaced it with a container of blood that looked identical from the outside.
"Yes, right there. Thank you so much."
The doctor was completely unaware of Jiang Shuyi's sleight of hand.
After successfully swapping the samples, Jiang Shuyi left swiftly.
She thought her actions had gone completely unnoticed.
Little did she know, everything had been monitored by Shen Nanchu's system.
Learning of Jiang Shuyi's actions from the system, Shen Nanchu fell into deep thought.
Why did Jiang Shuyi swap Pei Zhengnian's blood sample?
Whose blood was used to replace Pei Zhengnian's sample?
If Pei Zhengnian and this Pei Zhengwei were biological brothers, there would be no need to swap the blood sample at all.
Therefore, this Pei Zhengwei was a fake?
Shen Nanchu hurriedly asked her system,
"Is this Pei Zhengwei an impostor?"
"According to the male lead's description, this Pei Zhengwei is real."
The system's words shocked Shen Nanchu.
If Pei Zhengwei was fake, then everything would make perfect sense.
Why did Jiang Shuyi swap Pei Zhengnian's blood sample?
Because the other mbers of the Pei family weren't in the capital!
If Pei Zhengwei, who shared no blood relation with the Pei family, wanted to verify his identity, he could only compare with soone he was biologically related to.
The more Shen Nanchu thought about it, the clearer her reasoning beca.
Thinking this way, Pei Zhengwei must have known his true identity all along.
His previous "death" and disappearance must have been aided by soone.
The person behind Pei Zhengwei had considerable influence.
What was Pei Zhengwei's goal in returning to the Pei family?
What did the current Pei family have that he could covet?
Power?
Or wealth?
Shen Nanchu thought for a mont and recalled a certain leader whom the Pei family supported.
It seed the target was likely that individual.
After all, at this point in ti, quite a bit of evidence had already been found to clear Father Pei's na of the false accusations. Coupled with Pei Zhengnian's rits like discovering the mine and eliminating enemy spies, the Pei family's return to the capital was inevitable.
Pei Zhengwei's goal was most likely to prevent the Pei family's return to the capital.
Sabotaging Pei Zhengwei's plans wasn't difficult.
What troubled Shen Nanchu now was this: if this Pei Zhengwei was fake, then where was Pei Zhengnian's real elder brother?
The mastermind behind this chess ga was truly an exceptional strategist.
They had started planning over twenty years ago, when Pei's Mother was pregnant.
Their scheming was extraordinarily deep.
After sorting through all the details, Shen Nanchu felt a great sense of relief.
"System, did you see whose blood sample Jiang Shuyi used to swap with Pei Zhengnian's?"
"Jiang Shuyi simply took one from the blood sample storage bank to swap."
The system had been closely monitoring Jiang Shuyi's every move.
Shen Nanchu, who had been lying down, instinctively sat up in bed.
"Whose was it?"
"Soone nad Lei Mingguo."
The system also recalled an interesting detail.
"Guess who Lei Mingguo ca to the hospital with? Your good 'friend,' Shen Hong."
"They've been married for many years without children, so they went to the hospital for a check-up."
Shen Nanchu was stunned.
So, this Pei Zhengwei was Lei Zhenhua's son?
Good grief!
No wonder Pei Zhengwei looked nothing like the Pei family.
Now that she thought about it, Pei Zhengwei actually bore a greater resemblance to the Lei family.
Wait a minute...
A person suddenly ca to Shen Nanchu's mind.
Lei Zhenhua's eldest son, Lei Mingyuan.
"System, please pull up the profiles of both Lei Mingyuan and Pei Zhengwei for ."
"Okay."
Shen Nanchu carefully compared the profiles of Lei Mingyuan and Pei Zhengwei and discovered they were born in the sa year, sa month, and on the sa day.
Even more coincidentally, they were born in the sa hospital.
It wasn't impossible for the mastermind behind this to have swapped Pei Zhengwei and Lei Mingyuan at birth.
After all, it's rare to find a good shoot growing from a bad bamboo.
For a fine sprout like Lei Mingyuan to erge from the crooked lons and split dates of the Lei family was truly unbelievable.
She would have to find an opportunity to investigate this properly.
As for Pei Zhengwei...
You can guard against a thief for a thousand days, but it's hard to be on guard for a thousand days straight.
If you don't invite the wolf into the house, how can you make it reveal its true colors?
Naturally, the system also relayed the male lead's series of clever maneuvers to Shen Nanchu.
Their thoughts were aligned.
It was a classic case of "letting the enemy in to catch them."
With Pei Zhengnian keeping an eye on things, Shen Nanchu believed Pei Zhengwei wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
As for her, she would focus on having her baby!
Only three days left until the baby's arrival.
