The morning light was soft, casting a gentle glow over the scene outside the Hope Base.
Xi Ziang was slumped on the ground, looking like he was going to faint from hunger.
His once fiery determination had faded into desperation, and he hadn't eaten in hours.
Su Jiyai decides to end his torment.
She took a deep breath and then, with a mocking tone, she spoke,
"Are you really telling the truth? Is she really your sister?"
Xi Ziang, exhausted and desperate, nodded weakly.
"Yes, I swear... Please, just let her see me. She'll recognize me."
Su Jiyai held back a laugh.
"Fine," she said, pretending to sound sympathetic. "You look so pitiful. I'll help you out."
With that, she called Xi Ping to the conference room. Her voice came through the speaker, cold but professional.
"Ping, a man is claiming to be your brother, Xi Ziang. I'm showing you his image now."
The projector in the room lit up, and Xi Ping's eyes widened the moment she saw the familiar face.
