12:30 PM on October 8, 2015.
Rooftop of Jinxiu Residential Complex, Suzhou City, China.
A blue spherical machine sat quietly, with the words " Imperial Crown " printed on its side—clearly a time machine.
"Senior, it's definitely you, senior!"
At this moment, a purple-haired woman wearing a white lab coat and a heart-shaped diamond pendant looked at the image of the young man Su Hang on her phone screen, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ten years, a full ten years, senior, do you know how I spent them?"
Seeing my seniors again after ten years, it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.
"Compared to the predecessor after the transmigration, the predecessor before the transmigration is much thinner." 28-year-old Liuli's fingers trembled as she touched the screen showing the young Su Hang, her heart aching. "Why does he look so malnourished?"
The projector on the Imperial Crown was activated, and Eve appeared beside Liuli in a virtual holographic projection, speaking respectfully.
"Mother, I have successfully hacked into the China citizen database and retrieved all of Father's information. Would you like to view it immediately?"
"Check!"
Liuli shed tears again and looked down at her phone screen.
Su Hang, born on September 27, 1997, is currently 18 years old. He has a high school education and graduated from Kunshan No. 2 High School. His hometown is Kunshan City.
In 2005, Su Hang's parents and younger sister died in a car accident, leaving the 8-year-old Su Hang an orphan. Su Hang's aunt, Su Guihua, obtained custody of Su Hang through legal means.
At the same time, Su Guihua's aunt, received 1.5 million yuan in compensation for the car accident involving Su Hang's family of three, as well as 500,000 yuan from Su Hang's parents' inheritance, totaling 2 million yuan in assets.
"Ten years ago, your parents and sister died." A look of sadness appeared in Liuli's red eyes, and her shoulders trembled slightly. She never expected that her predecessor Su Hang, would have such a tragic fate before she transmigrated.
"That's not right."
Suddenly, Liuli's delicate body trembled. Although her senior's blood relative had passed away unexpectedly, her aunt Su Guihua had taken over the custody, so she had some support. But why did her senior look malnourished and pale?
" Eve, I want the truth."
"Yes, Mother."
Eve closed her eyes. "I've hacked [ Su Guihua's] phone, I've hacked Su Guihua's husband [ Su Wei's ] phone, I've hacked Su Guihua's son [ Su Xiao's ] phone..."
Liuli stared intently at her phone screen.
In no time at all, Eve revealed the truth.
"Mother, of the 2 million yuan that should have been used to support Father, Su Guihua only spent 100,000 yuan on Father."
"100,000?"
Liuli's crimson eyes instantly turned cold and sharp. She was no longer the naive 18-year-old Liuli, but a strong 28-year-old woman who had experienced many ups and downs, and she vaguely sensed something.
Eve continued, "Mother, Su Guihua did not raise Father until he was 18 years old. Instead, she raised him until he was 15 and then cut off all financial support. In short, Su Guihua only raised Father for seven years."
"He only spent 100,000 yuan on his senior over 7 years?"
Liuli heart-shaped diamond pendant swayed wildly, her chest heaving. "On average, she only spends 15,000 yuan a year on her senior. What a kind aunt she is! It's so touching. What about the remaining 1.9 million?"
"Dear Mother, Su Guihua spent all her money on her son [ Su Xiao ], including 1.4 million yuan on a property in Kunshan City and 200,000 yuan on a Volkswagen sedan."
"Some time ago, Su Xiao met Feng Xiaodie, a woman with a master's degree, through a matchmaker. He then cultivated a persona of a wealthy second-generation heir and successfully became Feng Xiaodie's boyfriend, spending a total of approximately 100,000 RMB."
"Currently, Su Xiao and [ Feng Xiaodie ] have progressed to discussing marriage, but [ Feng Xiaodie ] has raised the bride price from 188,000 yuan to 288,000 yuan."
"This morning, Su Guihua demanded 100,000 yuan from Father, claiming that her son Su Xiao's dowry was insufficient. Out of consideration for family ties, Father transferred all his savings to Su Guihua, leaving him with only 1,500 yuan."
With her Liuli- purple hair flowing freely, she gritted her teeth and said, "This is no loving family at all, they're clearly a family that sucks your marrow dry! Not only did they drain the inheritance from our deceased parents, they're now sucking our blood too!"
An 8-year-old boy who lost his parents and sister could have lived a happy life with the 2 million yuan "beloved legacy" of his parents and sister, but he ended up living a miserable life because of a selfish aunt who squandered the family fortune.
"What if Sister Xiao Lan knew about this?"
Liuli pictured Huyan Lan in her mind. After ten years of getting to know each other, she knew his personality and temper all too well. She figured he would probably grab Su Guihua by the hair, drag her out into the street, and beat her up.
"The accounts must be settled one by one; I will absolutely not let this selfish family get away with it."
A heart-shaped Liuli pendant shimmered with black light, her crimson eyes were filled with deathly stillness, and her exquisite face was cold and ruthless. She came to her senior's world aboard the Imperial Crown with only one purpose: to let her senior live a happy and fulfilling life.
Anyone who dares to hinder their predecessors from achieving happiness, whether they are individuals, organizations, or nations, will be completely wiped off the face of the earth!
" Eve, has the senior replied to your text message?"
The deathly stillness in Liuli's eyes dissipated, and her radiance returned.
"Mother, Father hasn't replied yet. Judging from the live feed from his phone's camera, he's picking flowers on the street, preparing to attend Bai Miaomiao's confession ceremony."
Her Liuli eyes narrowed.
Ten years ago, when he first encountered a senior from a parallel world on the Imperial Crown Island in the original world, the senior mentioned that Bai Miaomiao would confess her feelings to him in the team on October 8, 2015, which is today.
" Eve, pull up all of Bai Miaomiao's chat history on social media and see if she's been flirting with any men other than our senior."
"Yes, Mother."
Eve closed her eyes. "I've hacked Bai Miaomiao's phone... The man Bai Miaomiao contacts most frequently on QQ WeChat is [Yan], the vice-captain of Yousu Team, and Father's closest brother [ Luo Yan ]."
According to the chat logs, Bai Miaomiao began maintaining an ambiguous romantic relationship with Luo Yan starting in September.
"According to the hotel booking records, at 8 PM on October 7th, Bai Miaomiao and Luo Yan booked a couple's suite at the Four Seasons Hotel. Five minutes later, Bai Miaomiao sent her father a confession message on QQ."
Liuli clenched her fists, her eyes gradually turning cold. " Eve, did Bai Miaomiao send the confession text message at Luo Yan's behest?"
Eve nodded and said, "Yes, Mother."
"Ha, what a shameless couple."
The truth came out, and the whole story came to light. The so-called ceremony in which Bai Miaomiao confessed her love to Su Hang was nothing more than a ceremony orchestrated by Luo Yan to humiliate and mock Su Hang.
" Eve, help me get everything ready."
"Understood, Mother."
With her hands in the pockets of her white coat, Liuli looked towards the direction of the Yousu Team's training base and said, "Senior, I'll be there soon."
