d respectfully.At this moment, Ian's soft voice rang out:"Master, General Wu is back.""I understand!"A ripple gave a languid reply, then turned to General Du and said, "Goodbye.""Child, don't be afrai...As soon as Lian Yi arrived at the study door, it swung open automatically. She didn't hesitate and walked straight in. Inside, she saw General Du Lao, Madam Du, and Du Zixian, who were obviously waiting for her.

"Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, I've received the news, but I don't know the specifics."

Ripples, under General Du's gesture, took a seat and then spoke.

"Boss, you tell us!"

General Du's face wasn't looking good. He simply said to Du Zichen, and the other party nodded in response. Then, he turned his head and spoke to Lian Yi:

The reason for this whole affair is that you were attacked recently. Luckily, nearby satellites were able to assist and get you out of trouble in time. During the final battle, they also captured a group of pirates, including their leader, whose name is Leo!

Du Zixian said here, and he also called out the Zhi Nao light screen. There was Leo's portrait on it. Lian Ri glanced at it, raised her eyebrows, and then spoke.

"I've fought this guy on the battlefield twice. He piloted a heavy mech, and I took him down in our last encounter."

Du Zixian nodded after hearing this and continued,

“We were able to pinpoint the leader of this group of pirates thanks to the communication records you provided. He was trying to act like an ordinary pirate to avoid the death penalty, but fortunately, your information arrived in time. However, there seems to be a mole within ZJWL Star involved in this, so upon our return, the military launched an investigation.”

Now it has been confirmed that the space pirates are an advance team sent by the Yunyi Star System to test the defenses of our fringe planets. Your class's trip there was unexpected, but when they learned that Hill Zhao was among you, these space pirates became greedy and wanted to kidnap Hill in exchange for star coins.

"Uncle, if that's the case, the threatened Sergeant Major should be an informant for the pirates, and the traitor who provided them with accurate information in the end should be connected to the Yun Yi star system."

Her eyes rippled, then she understood.

“Yes, things are indeed as you think, but the sergeant major wasn't because his wife and daughter were being victimized. He had been in contact with these pirates all along, and during military operations to wipe them out, he would pass on information to them, profiting from it himself. This is also one of the reasons why Ghost Skull has been able to get away with it for so long.”

"Uncle, it seems that the supporters behind this Star Bandit Ghost Skeleton are likely from the Yunyi Star System."

"Yes, this time they were letting the pirates probe. Because of their greed, the probing turned into kidnapping, and finally escalated to a battle. People from the Yunyi Star System are even less likely to show up at this time, after all, they haven't prepared for war yet. Otherwise, there would be no need to probe; they would just come directly with warships."

"And because it was pirates who came out, this matter might eventually simply be classified as pirate robbery and attempted kidnapping. They wouldn't be implicated at all, unfortunately, Leo was afraid of death, so he dragged Wu Yishan into it."

Du Zixian finally got to the point. Lian Ri's expression remained unchanged as she listened intently to the news that followed.

“Leo, in order to escape the death penalty, used a secret piece of information as a bargaining chip, hoping the Empire would pardon him. The military agreed to his request, and he told us that many years ago, Wu Yishan's family was assassinated by them. It was just that all of General Wu’s itineraries were provided by Wu Yishan, and it was he who paid the star coins to hire space pirates to do it.”

Du Zixian's voice was deep and heavy.

After hearing this, Ripples was indeed quite surprised. She felt that she had once again been struck by the complexity of human nature. Almost instinctively, she blurted out:

Why did he do that What's in it for him

She doesn't believe Wu Yishan would do something so thankless.

"It's simple, he isn't Wu Yishan. He's Wu Yifeng, the illegitimate son of General Wu."

Du Zi Feng threw out the second bomb.

Upon hearing this, Ren's ears immediately perked up. There must be something more to this.

Back then, Wu Yifeng went to find General Wu himself because his mother had passed away. He sought out his biological father, General Wu, believing that the latter had the responsibility of raising him into adulthood.

...and he was accepted by General Wu precisely because his appearance was almost an exact replica of the younger General Wu. However, this was a scandal after all, so General Wu simply took him in as a foster son.

After all, Wu Yishan had already been born at that time, and there wasn't a big age gap between the two. It was like finding a playmate for Wu Yishan, and in the future, Wu Yifeng would also be trained to be Wu Yishan's deputy.

Unfortunately, Wu Yifeng's ambition went beyond this. He knew his own identity and understood that he would live in the shadow of Wu Yishan for life. Therefore, he started planning early on, always keeping pace with Wu Yishan and putting himself first as his own Wu Yishan.

At the same time, he imitated all of the other person's habits. Finally, the opportunity came when General Wu went on leave and wanted to take his family on vacation. However, Wu Yishan had to participate in an officer-level assessment, so he couldn't go. Wu Yifeng seized this opportunity.

He privately approached Wu Yishan, saying he could take his place in the officer-level assessment, while Wu Yishan could accompany General Wu as Wu Yifeng. That way, they wouldn't miss out on anything, since the two looked very similar and, unless someone knew them well, it would be impossible to tell them apart.

Wu Yishan had no guard and, according to Wu Yifeng's suggestion, the two exchanged their neural implants. In the end, Wu Yishan disappeared without a trace, while Wu Yifeng, as an orphan, completely replaced Wu Yishan. Because of dealing with his family's affairs, he was depressed and took half a year off to rest and adjust before returning to the military.

At that time, all his peers had been dispersed to various military units. With such a major upheaval in his family, his personality had changed somewhat, which everyone understood. He also concealed it well, acting diligently and striving for progress, keeping silent and reserved, thus avoiding any suspicion from others.

After he married your mother and gave birth to you, he gradually climbed to a high position. However, his relationship with your mother has always been lukewarm. We previously thought that the reason he treated your mother this way was because he was using the Yue family's support to return to his position as general, which might have hurt his pride.

But besides making excuses to be busy and not going home, he did everything else well.

But now it seems like the little sister noticed something. It's because of you that she chose to stay silent, becoming more indifferent towards him and focusing all her energy on raising you. As a result, you tested out as a waste material physique. This was a huge blow to your mother, coupled with the appearance of that illegitimate child, that's why...

Du Zixian paused here for a moment, then continued:

“As for Wu Yishan’s affairs, half of it came from Leo, the clever lieutenant. He had always kept records of his dealings with Wu Yifeng back then, using them as a safeguard.”

It is also strange that Wu Yifeng was young back then and didn't consider so much. He only wanted to grab the position of the Shaojian general. If he were more experienced now, he wouldn't have let the other party hold such a handle.
