The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent Novel - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Secret Identity Discovered

Xiao Ying’s expression froze. She met Cheng Yang’s eyes and pretended to ask casually, “Why are you investigating them?”

Cheng Yang said, “They’re privately buying shares of my company.”

Xiao Ying immediately freaked out. She stood up and exclaimed, “That’s impossible!”

Cheng Yang raised an eyebrow. “Why do you think that’s impossible?”

Xiao Ying sat down quietly again and said, “I was just guessing. Your company is so powerful. How could there be someone so fearless as to provoke you?”

“What if this person is just really bold?” Cheng Yang said.

As he spoke, he stared intently at Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying wondered if he knew something. She gulped and asked tentatively, “Brother, are you going overseas because you found some information about them?”

Cheng Yang made a noise of affirmation and said, “I found that their address is in M Nation.”

Xiao Ying heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness they haven’t found her.

Cheng Yang suddenly said, “Ying’er knows them?”

Xiao Ying immediately shook her head. She did not know them.

“Then how did you find out about them?” Cheng Yang asked again.

Xiao Ying laughed awkwardly and said, “I’m just interested in the stock market, so I did some research a while ago and know a bit about them. After all, they’re considered to be pretty famous now.”

Cheng Yang said mysteriously, “Is that so? Then you should definitely not learn from them. It’s very easy for something to go wrong with the reckless way they work. But that’s okay, because even if something happens to them, they still have a brother to help them.”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Ying understood that Cheng Yang already knew her identity.

Xiao Ying admitted her mistake decisively. “Brother, I’m sorry.”

Cheng Yang sighed and said, “Forget it. Go ahead and play if you want. If anything happens, I’ll cover for you.”

A hint of emotion flashed across Xiao Ying’s eyes. Ever since Cheng Yang said that he wanted to adopt her, he had protected her very well for nearly ten years.

“Brother, you’re so good to me.”

Cheng Yang stroked her head and said, “I’m your brother.”

Xiao Ying returned to her room and chanted, “Amulet, activate the learning panel.”

Over the years, she had finished learning the advanced classes for stock trading, medicine, and hacking.

She had not expected the advanced courses to require so much energy. All the energy she had accumulated over the years had been used to study these advanced courses.

The next day, Cheng Yang still ended up leaving for a business trip. He would probably have to stay abroad for a few days, or else he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to tell her.

Xiao Ying arrived at the school. Now that there were new students, it was much more lively than before.

As soon as she entered the school, she was pulled away by Professor Cheng.

Xiao Ying said helplessly, “Professor Cheng, why are you in such a hurry?”

A hint of thrill flashed across Professor Cheng’s face. “There’s been some progress on the X-ray spots we studied last time,” he said.

Xiao Ying was also overjoyed. The X-ray spots were a research study that combined medicine and technology to create limbs for the disabled.

It would be great if their ideas could truly come to life.

When Xiao Ying had just entered University A, her profound medical skills were discovered. After they found out that she performed outstandingly in the courses for her major as well, they made an exception to directly let her skip grades to become a fourth-year student and participate in research in the lab.

Last year, Xiao Ying had officially raised the theory of X-ray spots, causing a sensation among the professors at the school.

When the two of them arrived at the lab, there were already a few professors waiting.

Even Ph.D. students were not eligible to participate in this research. They were all professors, except for Xiao Ying, a fourth-year student.

The moment they saw her enter, the professors pulled her over excitedly to show her the results of the experiment.

A machine that was half a person tall was placed on the experiment table. Beside the machine was a prosthetic limb: a white crystal-colored mechanical arm.

Xiao Ying stepped forward, picking up the arm, observing it from all angles. After turning on the switch, the five fingers on the arm began moving about nimbly.
