The Fake Heiress and Her Five Villainous Brothers-Chapter 120: Same Essence
Chapter 120 𝘧𝘳ℯ𝓮𝘸𝓮𝑏𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Yuan Luoyi asked, "Can world lines merge?"
After experiencing so many retrogression events, Yuan Luoyi found that when changes occurred on one side, corresponding changes also occurred on the other side, meaning the world lines were connected.
Since the System could create new world lines, it should also be possible to merge world lines together. In that way, people from all world lines could reach a good ending.
Even Yuan Ao and Yuan Fa, who had died in World Line #2, could return.
Yuan Luoyi anxiously awaited the System's response.
[Ding!]
[Checking the Host's influence]
[Ding!]
[Check complete, the Host's influence is sufficient, the three world lines can merge under certain conditions]
Yuan Luoyi asked urgently, "What conditions?"
[The Host needs to regress to the original world line to gain influence]
Yuan Luoyi understood—once they reached the safe house, she would regress to World Line #1, where all the mysteries would be unveiled.
The car continued driving, with the night scenery whizzing by in reverse.
After another half hour, the group arrived at the safe house—an entirely white-colored fortress patrolled by many armed personnel.
Because of Yuan's Father's special status, which granted him access to many weapon secrets, he was a top national security priority. After this attack, he naturally received the highest level of protection.
Inside the fortress, they took the elevator directly down to the tenth basement level, where the air was cool.
One of the men in military uniform said to Yuan's Father, "Mr. Yuan, please rest assured. This place is extremely secure, with a six-month supply of living necessities. Even if it's hit by missiles, you and your family won't be harmed in the slightest."
Yuan's Father said, "I have three more sons out there, and my wife is currently on a mission in Panama."
The man replied, "We've already sent people to retrieve them. They'll be here soon."
Yuan's Father felt relieved. "Thank you for your hard work."
The man smiled, "It's my honor to serve you."
Yuan Luoyi gazed at her solemn father, feeling a sense of novelty.
At home, he always seemed out of place, constantly scowling as if someone owed him money and didn't repay it. He was often scolded by Yuan's Mother.
But here, he appeared competent, and the staff treated Yuan's Father with great respect.
It turned out he was an important figure outside their home.
Yuan's Father went to discuss matters with those men, while Yuan Luoyi and her two brothers were led to the living room. She sat on the sofa, finally able to rest for a while.
Once she could be alone in a room, she would initiate the retrogression process and complete the final puzzle piece.
Her second brother Yuan Fa sat beside her, his long legs stretched out straight and overlapping in front of him. He held the remote control, impatiently flipping through channels as the TV flickered nonstop.
Yuan Fa said, "You've got to be kidding me. This underground bunker has no internet, so I can't use my phone. I have to watch satellite TV instead, which I haven't done in eight hundred years. Wow, these old soapy dramas are so boring."
His posture reminded Yuan Luoyi of when she regressed to Yuan Fa's world line, where he sat with his legs propped up on a table in the dilapidated Yuan residence—except back then, he wasn't watching TV but rather torturing people.
If the world lines merged, Yuan Fa might remember the things he did in that world line, and he would surely be shocked.
Unable to find anything interesting to watch, Yuan Fa shoved the remote control into Yuan Luoyi's hand. "My dearest sister, your kind second brother has decided to entrust control of the TV to you. You'd better cherish it."
After saying that, he got up and joined his elder brother Yuan Ao to investigate the mole's identity.
Yuan Fa asked, "Do you have any leads on who the mole might be?"
Yuan Ao replied, "The scope has been narrowed down to twenty people. Take a look."
Yuan Fa asked, "Is this paid labor or unpaid labor?"
Yuan Ao's gaze darkened as he silently stared at Yuan Fa.
Yuan Fa said, "Got it, understood. It's unpaid."
Yuan Fa began reviewing the files of those twenty people. After all, this concerned the family's survival, and he didn't want his sister living in danger. He might as well help identify the mole quickly.
What a pity.
In the whole family, only Yuan Si's wool was easy to shear. But shearing his elder brother was too risky—not a single penny could be earned, and he'd only face punishment instead.
Meanwhile, Yuan Luoyi had selected a melodramatic youth romance series. The more she watched, the sleepier she felt. But whenever she nearly dozed off, the female lead's wailing would jolt her awake.
Her spirits were instantly revived—this was precisely the effect she wanted. She couldn't fall asleep tonight because she still needed to initiate the retrogression.
Around 3 AM, Yuan Ao and Yuan Fa worked together and identified the mole, their expressions growing grave.
Yuan Ao asked Yuan Luoyi, "Did you notice any abnormal behavior from Xiao Feng, the driver who takes you to and from school?"
Yuan Luoyi shook her head after recalling. Driver Xiao Feng was a very diligent person who did his job well.
When Yuan Luoyi was seven years old and got kidnapped, Xiao Feng chased after the kidnappers. He was struck by a truck and nearly died, but he managed to record the license plate of the kidnappers' vehicle, which helped the Yuan family. As a result, the Yuan family treated him well and trusted him completely.
Yuan Ao said, "He's the family mole. I found his secret bank account with money transactions linked to those kidnappers. His injury from 'rescuing' you was just an elaborate ruse."
This was something Yuan Luoyi never expected because Driver Xiao Feng had never shown any ill intent toward her. Most of the time, he was silent and unobtrusive, like he didn't exist at all.
He came and went at their beck and call, humbly serving the Yuan family all these years.
So he was the one operating behind the scenes, which explained why those kidnappers dared to abduct the Yuan family's precious daughter.
Yuan Luoyi couldn't imagine the depths of his determination to remain so subservient for the opportunity to one day destroy the Yuan family.
A female staff member came out and said, "The room is ready. You can rest now."
Yuan Fa told Yuan Luoyi, "Go get some sleep. Staying up late isn't good for a child's health."
Yuan Luoyi asked, "What about you two?"
Her two brothers smiled coldly.
Yuan Ao said, "We still have some matters to handle."
Yuan Luoyi knew that chilling smile signified the new Yuan family's counterattack against the old Yuan family was about to commence.
When facing enemies, the five Yuan brothers would act collectively. Their acts of vengeance were cruel and ruthless, stopping at nothing. They were never purely good people, only carefully concealing their dark side.
They were essentially the same as the world's Elder Brother, unflinchingly recalling their own killings and wishing they had killed more.
Now, with bruises around their sister's neck, how could they let those responsible go unpunished?
Yuan Luoyi jumped off the sofa: "Then I'll go to sleep."
Led by the staff, she went to the bedroom, a small space with a single bed, a large wardrobe, and a desk.
Yuan Luoyi sat on the edge of the bed, taking deep breaths to calm herself.
Just as her brothers had stayed up all night to retaliate against the old Yuan residence to protect her, she too had to venture into the original world line.
The unknown world line was terrifying, dangerous, and full of mysteries - anything could happen.
But she had to go.
Only then could all tragedies reach a perfect conclusion.
