Chapter 462: Chapter 453: The Origin of the USB Flash Drive

Yun Chan entered, just as the two bodyguards who went to search for the U-disk came out of the room.

"Boss."

"Young Master, we didn’t find the U-disk you mentioned."

Upon seeing his mother enter, Yun Yi instinctively stood up, his gaze a mix of affection and complexity.

Before his memory returned, he could call her "mom" without hesitation.

But now that his memory had returned, he couldn’t help but think about the increasingly strained relationship between him and his mother over the years. He opened his mouth but ultimately couldn’t utter a sound.

Yun Chan knew by his reaction that this brat had truly regained his memory.

However, "What U-disk were you just talking about?"

Lian Lian had almost turned into a statue by this point, everyone’s eyes in the room were on her, including Li Yan’s.

Just when she didn’t dare to even breathe, Yun Yi looked over her with an icy gaze, "During the desert adventure, I once left the team with Lian Lian to take a commemorative photo at the Echo Sand Dune. There, we encountered a person, someone who was about to die."

"That person didn’t ask us to save him. He only gave us a U-disk, saying that when we reached a place with a signal, plug it into a computer, and someone would come to retrieve it. He said we could ask for any reward we wanted then."

"I didn’t intend to get involved since that person didn’t seem like a good person. But Miss Lian Lian here was very interested and even asked if the U-disk was worth ten million. The person nodded without hesitation, and then she took the U-disk. Not long after, that person died."

"After returning and rejoining the adventure team, I wanted to inform everyone and have someone who knew about computers check if there was anything strange about the U-disk. But Miss Lian Lian refused to hand it over, leaving us no choice but to drop it."

"Later..." Yun Yi said as he raised his hand to rub the back of his head, causing both Lian Lian and Li Yan to swallow hard, "The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. There was no reason to risk dealing with something dangerous for an intangible reward, so I went to Lian Lian’s tent at night to persuade her to drop this idea. It was then I overheard Li Yan was also in her tent, and Lian Lian confided in him that she was pregnant."

Noticing the disdainful gazes from around, their faces turned red and then pale in an instant.

Red with shame, white with panic.

Yun Yi recounted the events in the desert so clearly, they could no longer deceive themselves,

Yun Yi had truly regained his memory, not suffering the memory loss they had prayed for!

Li Yan decisively slid off the sofa, kneeling before Yun Yi, eyes red and full of repentance, "Yun Yi, I’m sorry, I’m not worthy to be your brother. But back then, it was Lian Lian who seduced me first, she’s a good actor, we were both fooled by her. I was coaxed by her to hide this from you, I know my mistake. Hitting you was also her instigation, I was shocked at how ruthless she could be, but now I understand, she probably wanted to keep the reward from the U-disk for herself, she didn’t even tell me..."

Yun Yi listened to his excuses with a blank expression, suddenly raising his leg and kicking him in the shoulder, "Don’t make yourself sound so innocent, you two are a perfect match, neither of you is any good."

Li Yan was kicked over onto the floor, his elbow hitting the hard floor with a muffled groan.

A wave of despair surged through him; this kick was devoid of any brotherly feelings!

Lian Lian involuntarily shrank back, biting down hard to stop herself from screaming in fear, quickly shaking her head when Yun Yi looked over, "I didn’t!"

"I’ll ask one more time, where’s the U-disk?"

In the adjacent suite.

Shen Chuyue looked at the surveillance footage on the big screen and couldn’t help but click her tongue, "It seems I have a bit of detective talent, this matches closely with my previous speculations."

Lu Zhengzheng was watching Yun Yi on the surveillance, his entire demeanor drastically changed, "I didn’t expect Yun Yi’s original temperament to be like this, it actually resembles his mother’s quite a bit."

Changning glanced at the two who spoke and then shifted his gaze back to the surveillance screen, "The whole matter involves another U-disk."

"Is there really such a thing as a dying person giving you an item and promising a large reward for delivering it?"

"Obviously, Lian Lian believed it and wanted it all to herself. Her character is questionable, but she sure is bold and greedy."

Jiang Lingxi sat quietly listening to their discussion and suddenly turned her head to Changning, "Changning, where do you think Lian Lian might have hidden the U-disk?"

"U-disks are small, if misplaced, they could be hard to find, it could be in a conspicuous container or carried with her. Since the bodyguard searched her already, there’s only..."

The two simultaneously looked at Lian Lian’s actions on the monitor.

What Changning thought of, Yun Yi had naturally thought of too.

But he hesitated, still deliberately choosing not to search her himself.

Seeing this, Yun Chan waved to call over a female bodyguard, "Search her."

Lian Lian wanted to resist, but before she could stand up, she was pinned down.

The female bodyguard dragged her to the bedroom, and a few minutes later brought her back, "Boss, Young Master, I searched her thoroughly, there’s no U-disk."

Lian Lian nervously adjusted her still-disheveled collar, seeing Yun Yi’s tightly clenched fists, "Yes, I accidentally lost the U-disk."

"Impossible," Yun Yi didn’t believe a word she said, "If you lost it, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"I, I was too scared, I forgot."

*

"Not possible," Changning muttered with a frown, "It’s not in the room, not on her, where else could it be hidden? Could she have swallowed it?"

Jiang Lingxi chuckled at her guess, "You can’t ingest things randomly, especially someone like Lian Lian who values her life. Besides, there’s still one place on Lian Lian’s body that hasn’t been searched."

Shen Chuyue was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant, looking disgusted, "No way?"

Jiang Lingxi: "...you’re thinking too much, I meant her hair!"

Shen Chuyue’s face turned beet red.

Seeing Changning stand up, Jiang Lingxi said, "Changning, go tell them."

Changning nodded and headed to the opposite room.

Just as Yun Yi was considering getting an electronic detector to see if Lian Lian had indeed swallowed the U-disk, he heard the door open and turned to see Changning.

"Changning, how..."

"I’m watching from next door with Lingxi," Changning replied coldly, ignoring Yun Yi’s sudden disappointed expression, walking straight to Lian Lian and swiftly reaching out, grabbing the pom-pom tied to her hair with a hair tie, pulling it out along with several strands of hair.

The sting on her scalp made Lian Lian realize what was in Changning’s hand, her face turned immediately pale.

But this time, Changning’s face changed even faster than hers.

With the pom-pom in hand, she squeezed it, confirming there was indeed something inside.

But that object suddenly burned her palm, and even though she immediately let go, her palm still bore a blackened mark.

Seeing this on the surveillance, Jiang Lingxi frowned and quickly stood up to leave.

She had asked Changning to go, but she didn’t intend for her to get hurt.

As for Yun Yi, once he realized, he was already a few steps forward, holding Changning’s hand, "Does it hurt?"
