Chapter 538 - 206 Father’s love is like a mountain
Yueyao reviewed the information of those twenty people, all compiled together. The ages and birthplaces of these twenty people varied widely; according to the recorded birthdates, some were already white-haired elders in their fifties or sixties, while others had just turned twenty. Strangely enough, some were employed in Capital City, while others were scattered across various provinces.
Yueyao was not foolish. Indeed, because she was too perceptive, she quickly realized that this was a network of connections accumulated by generations of the Lian family.
Yueyao also understood why her uncle was so eager to obtain this material. If used well, these connections could completely liberate the Lian family from their current predicament.
Yueyao did not know how long she had been lost in thought until Xi Yu’s voice sounded again. Yueyao took a deep breath and said, "I’m going to sleep." After saying this, Yueyao turned off the light and went to bed.
Lying in bed, Yueyao’s mind was in chaos. If it weren’t for the things from her previous life, she would have handed over the roster immediately. With this roster, her uncle and cousin would definitely have smooth sailing ahead, as evident from what had happened in her previous life. But now, she did not want to hand it over; the Lian family’s influence power brought her no benefits, only harm.
Yueyao muttered to herself, "Dad, why didn’t you personally hand over this list to Uncle? Why use such a roundabout method?" Yueyao truly did not understand.
Yueyao thought through the night and still couldn’t figure it out. She spent the entire night awake. As dawn broke, she climbed out of bed, tore the personnel roster in her hand into pieces, and burned them in the charcoal basin.
It was easy for these materials to leak once they had a physical form, and she remembered them clearly. Of course, Yueyao knew this method was inappropriate; over time, it could be easy to forget, so she needed to find a secretive way to record this information.
Yueyao went out to practice boxing, and after finishing, she had her morning meal, which was noticeably less than usual. Xiang Wei reminded Yueyao, "Miss, it’s very easy to leave traces this way." From Yueyao’s demeanor, Xiang Wei knew without asking that Yueyao had discovered the secrets in the Poetry Collection. It was exactly because of this knowledge that she reminded Yueyao.
