Chapter 107

Yuan Luoyi followed Yuan Fa into the room, where her third brother Yuan Yong and fourth brother Yuan Si were already geared up.

Yuan Fa said, "Everyone, she's back."

The two brothers turned their gazes towards Yuan Luoyi, their previously dull eyes brightening a little.

Waiting for their sister had been torturous, as they were forced to coexist peacefully with their blood-related brothers.

Yuan Si suffered the most, as the other two had invaded his territory, eating his food, drinking his drinks, using his possessions, and even ordering him around. Every day, he had to suppress at least three urges to kill them.

Yuan Yong also felt miserable. He had left home very early, and spent little time around his blood relatives.

Before, he didn't know what kind of person his younger brother Yuan Si was, but now he knew, and deeply understood why in the Yuan family, older brothers always wanted to kill their younger brothers.

Yuan Luoyi asked, "Where are you going?"

Yuan Fa said, "We're going to Yuan Rui's place. I've investigated and found that it was him who took your ashes."

As he said this, a surge of anger rose within Yuan Fa.

Among the five Yuan brothers, Yuan Rui had always been insubordinate, independently investigating Yuan Luoyi's death.

His act of taking the ashes had misled Yuan Fa, the second brother, into thinking that his sister had faked her death and that their eldest brother had killed her.

Yuan Fa said, "He has always been fond of corpses, and you were placed on his most beloved exhibition stand. Today, I contacted him, and he seems to have tampered with your ashes, discovering some unusual things. He also needs to meet us."

Hearing that her own ashes had been collected and tampered with by her fifth brother was a strange thing.

Yuan Luoyi still remembered the sight of her fifth brother cradling white bones with a sickly, deranged grin.

In a sense, the fifth brother was truly frightening...

Yuan Luoyi snacked on some food while her brothers prepared their weapons.

Once everything was ready, they set off. It was deep in the night, with a solitary moon hanging in the sky and a chilly wind blowing. Yuan Luoyi shivered from the cold.

Second brother Yuan Fa noticed and took off his windbreaker, draping it over Yuan Luoyi.

He said, "Don't catch a cold."

Yuan Luoyi said, "Thank you, but won't you be cold, second brother?"

Yuan Fa said, "I won't be cold."

He might never reach the level of care that their eldest brother had for the younger siblings, but ensuring that his little sister was well-fed and comfortable was something he could still do.

"Wow! It really is our 11-year-old sister!"

He took Yuan Luoyi's small hand, gazing at her in a daze, turning her around and around, like a doll and a teddy bear dancing.

"The details of her appearance match perfectly, identical! This is a masterpiece of nature!"

Yuan Luoyi was somewhat confused. While the other brothers were messed up, the fifth brother was still the same as before.

Yuan Rui hugged Yuan Luoyi tightly. "Although you were dead and in my office, I still missed you being alive."

He quickly released Yuan Luoyi, maintaining a distance.

"Okay, that hug lasted over three seconds, long enough to show my love for you. You know, I'm allergic to living people, so that's my limit."

A large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Yuan Rui's collar, Yuan Fa glaring at him with murderous intent. "This touching reunion should end. If you can't give a reasonable explanation for your theft..."

The cold muzzle of a gun pressed against Yuan Rui's forehead. Yuan Fa said, "I'll put a bullet through this wrinkled, brilliant brain of yours and blow it to pieces. Understand?"

Yuan Rui stiffened and said, "I understand..."

Yuan Fa released him.

Yuan Rui immediately regained his vigor, happily looking at Yuan Luoyi. "Are you hungry? I cooked some instant noodles, they should be ready now! We can share them!"

The topic had changed so abruptly that Yuan Luoyi didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Yuan Si angrily shoved Yuan Rui. "Hurry up and walk! She's already eaten at my place!"

With no other choice, Yuan Rui had to move forward. His office was on the top floor, and the lights in the surrounding laboratories were all on.

"Why does the school allow you to have so many laboratories open?" Yuan Si asked.

Yuan Rui sighed and said, "Alas, it's the way of the world."

"Do you really understand the meaning of 'the way of the world'?" Yuan Si questioned.

The office door was opened, and Yuan Rui entered first. All the walls had been transformed into bookshelves, piled high with various files and books. In the spaces between, there were bone specimens displayed.

The largest specimen was a whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling—its skull, spine, ribs, and long tail spanning the entire office, presenting a truly awe-inspiring sight. Yuan Luoyi could imagine the massive beast thrashing in the sea when it was alive.

Yuan Yong walked over to a bulletproof glass cabinet and took out a round, water-clear box, cradling it in his hands as he murmured, "Sister, this is your ashes."

He then produced a sealed bag containing a strand of hair. "And this is the hair the real culprit left behind near Mother's body, given to me by my late brother."

"After analyzing them, I discovered something very interesting..."
