Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 625: Xiao Yize’s Minor Account

Xiao Yize sat before the computer, swiftly navigating through files.

During these unoccupied daytime hours, he often found himself here, meticulously scrutinizing the data from the light cone experiment conducted four years prior.

“Cloud Rising Orphanage…”

Xiao Yize reached for the lukewarm tea at his side, taking a sip as his gaze remained fixed behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

At that moment, the office door creaked open, and Lin Ran returned bearing takeout.

He set Xiao Yize’s portion on the desk before retrieving his own, eagerly urging, “Little Fatty mentioned this mixed rice is pretty good. You should give it a try.”

Xiao Yize leisurely unwrapped his meal, yet his attention remained fixed on the rapidly scrolling screen.

The text scrolled by at a dizzying pace, leaving Lin Ran feeling overwhelmed. He shielded his eyes, unable to endure the rapid motion.

Pulling up a chair, he settled beside Xiao Yize with a click of his tongue and a sigh. “Young Master Xiao, it’s a shame you didn’t apply your talents to grading college entrance exams.”

Xiao Yize shifted his gaze away from the computer screen to glance at Lin Ran. “Are you exceptionally free, or am I exceptionally free?”

Lin Ran chuckled, opting not to respond.

Naturally, Xiao Yize wasn’t simply idling away his time. It was Lin Ran who had the leisure, though if he were to admit it, Xiao Yize might very well dispatch him off to Continent F for a few additional days.

“Why the sudden interest in the case from four years ago?” Lin Ran inquired, though he hadn’t glimpsed the contents himself. The document’s title, the light cone experiment, had caught his eye.

The light cone experiment had been a clandestine endeavor spearheaded by an anomalous martial artist, sparking a frenzy within the Dark Web at the time.

Subsequently, the dossier had been sealed, becoming a classified document within the special department. Only a select few had clearance to peruse its contents.

During that period, the special department underwent a transition of leadership. The former minister retired following his handling of the case, passing the mantle to Xiao Yize.

“I have a few hypotheses I’d like to confirm,” Xiao Yize remarked casually.

Observing his reticence, Lin Ran refrained from pressing further, opting instead to occupy himself with his phone. Suddenly, a notification from his WeChat account drew his attention, prompting him to arch an eyebrow.

Switching to the alternate account, Lin Ran noted that the profile picture mirrored Xiao Yize’s typical WeChat image.

Lin Ran: “Hey, Young Master Xiao, Ye Qingzi has sent a flurry of messages. Would you like to review them?”

Xiao Yize furrowed his brows. “Is that even a question?”

Acknowledging the directive with a nod, Lin Ran proceeded to access the chat with Ye Qingzi.

This secondary account had initially belonged to Xiao Yize.

Ye Qingzi had essentially grown up alongside them. However, following the tragic plane crash involving Madam Xiao, Xiao Yize’s resentment had been redirected towards Ye Qingzi. Consequently, he preferred to avoid any interaction with her, withholding his contact information.

Lin Ran sympathized with Xiao Yize’s stance. Though Ye Qingzi had merely been a four-year-old caught in the machinations of others during that tumultuous time, it was understandable that Xiao Yize would be reminded of his mother and unborn sister upon seeing her.

However, Ye Qingzi harbored an infatuation for Xiao Yize, going as far as enlisting her brother’s help to procure Xiao Yize’s WeChat details.

Ye Hanshen, Ye Qingzi’s brother, shared a camaraderie with Xiao Yize and maintained a strong rapport with him. Moreover, Xiao Yize owed Ye Hanshen a favor, making it a relatively straightforward request.

Given that he had already expended a favor to acquire his sister’s WeChat contact, Xiao Yize had little reason to decline. Yet, he provided only a secondary account, reserving his primary account for more personal interactions. He wished to spare himself the burden of confronting the past each time he accessed his main account and encountered Ye Qingzi.

Subsequently, he entrusted the oversight of the alternate account to Lin Ran, tasking him with monitoring its activity.

Typically, Lin Ran would only present information from the alternate account to Xiao Yize if it pertained to Madam Xiao. Otherwise, he refrained from disclosing its contents.
