Chapter 1358 1324: Lin Xiaoxiao

"Lin Xiaoxiao, female. Born in Datong Village on the outskirts of Binhai City, her parents divorced when she was young."

In the villa where Lin Yi was in reality, the stunningly handsome Guo Shaojie was introducing the information he had obtained through his connections and began reading it aloud to Lin Yi:

"Later, she lived with her mother."

"Until she was five years old, her mother remarried a junior government clerk, and their life was fairly stable."

"Two years later, she had a half-sister named Xiao Xiaojin."

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly interrupted Guo Shaojie with a gesture and said:

"Tell me about her life after she grew up."

The group sitting in the living room looked at Lin Yi with puzzled expressions.

They didn't understand why Lin Yi suddenly wanted to find this woman after coming out of the Endless Tower.

Of course, Lin Yi's breakthrough to the highest level of the Endless Tower had caused a huge sensation within the game.

However, due to Feng Hua's usual style of gameplay, this storm came and went quickly.

Currently, people talked more about what the reward for the last layer of the Endless Tower was, rather than Feng Hua creating another "myth."

But none of this made any waves in the Creation Mercenary Corps. Everyone continued to focus on their leveling enterprises as usual.

Although the attacks from the Demon Race weakened, the crisis for the Hundred Races wasn't resolved.

Because with the next version, "Great Rift Valley," Demon Monarchs, one level higher than the Demon King, would join the battlefield.

Demon Monarchs were at the True God (Lv85) level among the Hundred Races!

With the current average level of 70, it was clear that when the Demon Monarch army arrived, the Hundred Races would continue to face the same tragedies as with the Demon King.

Nobody knew if the Demon King would suddenly withdraw and gradually disappear from the battlefield as it did now.

To prepare for the next version, everyone was fervently leveling up.

People like the stunningly handsome team members, who were considered Hua Country's strongest force, were of course part of this big effort.

However, today was the first day Lin Yi came out after being in the Endless Tower for six months.

The group gave themselves a rare day off, which is why they gathered in the villa's living room.

Surprisingly, as soon as everyone met, Lin Yi assigned Guo Shaojie the task of finding this person.

Although everyone was curious, Lin Yi didn't say anything.

Everyone also noticed that after not seeing Lin Yi for six months, there seemed to be some undisclosed changes in his demeanor.

While everyone was sitting in the living room, watching TV and waiting for a sumptuous dinner, Guo Shaojie hurried over without disappointment.

With just a name, a vague description, and a place where the person had once worked, Guo Shaojie managed to investigate nearly every detail of the person within less than half an hour.

As they listened to Guo Shaojie's introduction, the group was full of confusion.

Heaven-Gifted Ouyang Hao and Zhan Chen muttered softly:

"This woman sounds so ordinary. What does Feng Boss want with her?"

Zhan Tianpeng rolled his eyes and replied:

"I think you should ask Feng Boss that question directly instead of me."

Ouyang Hao chuckled awkwardly:

"Just discussing."

"I don't want to look for trouble at this moment."

As he glanced at Lin Yi's expression, Ouyang Hao didn't dare to provoke him.

Upon Lin Yi's reminder, Guo Shaojie continued:

"Then..."

He flipped through the documents and suddenly stopped at a particular page.

At the moment, his expression became somewhat hesitant.

But Lin Yi pressed on directly:

"Go on."

Guo Shaojie glanced cautiously at Lin Yi before speaking again:

"After graduating from Datong High School, she worked at an orphanage in Binhai City named 'You'ai Orphanage.'

"Based on limited available information, her work performance was outstanding and well-liked."

"During her three years there, her only mistake was incorrectly reporting an orphan's name, for which she received a warning from the local community committee."

"But as the person involved was an orphan, the issue was eventually let go without fuss."

Guo Shaojie paused there.

But as soon as he stopped, Lin Yi coldly ordered:

"Continue!"

Guo Shaojie looked at Lin Yi sitting on the sofa.

Although Lin Yi appeared to be focused on the TV, he was aware that Lin Yi was attentive to his every move.

He then closed the file in his hands and said:

"She worked at this orphanage for three years. In the fourth year, at the end of the year, on the night of December 30th, a sudden fire at the orphanage claimed over two hundred lives."

"Her life also ended on that day."

Upon hearing this, the previously somewhat relaxed atmosphere became extraordinarily heavy.

Ouyang Hao, who was just laughing and chatting, couldn't utter a word anymore, disbelief written all over his face.

Everyone stared blankly at Lin Yi, who remained calm.

When everyone was at a loss, Zhang Xinying finally broke the spell that almost frightened Wang Zixin to tears:

"You mentioned before that you were taken in by an orphanage when you were young, was it this one?"

It was only then that everyone had a sudden realization.

Indeed!

They had all forgotten that the leader they respected had grown up in an orphanage.

This also explained why they never saw Lin Yi's family.

Upon Zhang Xinying's mention of this, everyone finally understood.

But the ensuing question puzzled them: 'Who was this Lin Xiaoxiao woman?'

Surely Lin Yi wouldn't have Guo Shaojie investigate someone unrelated just out of boredom, right?

Lin Yi suddenly took a deep breath and said:

"That's right."

"I only recently learned that the orphanage I lived in when I was five was called 'You'ai Orphanage.'

"And Lin Xiaoxiao was the one who rescued me when I was just an infant."

"Her only mistake was also because of me."

Suddenly, a barrier of energy materialized in front of Lin Yi.

Followed by the appearance of the large characters "Ling Yi":

"This was my original name..."

"Ling Yi!"

As soon as he said this, everyone except Zhang Xinying and a clueless Wang Zixin was left with their mouths agape.

They were all stunned by the sudden revelation from Lin Yi.

Then Lin Yi abruptly stood up and said to Guo Shaojie:

"Let's go."

Guo Shaojie, still reeling from Lin Yi's shocking news, froze again when Lin Yi said they were leaving:

"Where to?"

Lin Yi glanced at Guo Shaojie:

"Her family should still be around, right?"
