In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell upon Long Yi Ming.
Long Yi Ming was already surprised that Jing Pei managed to obtain this video, but being suddenly called out, his astonishment intensified. She was indeed not an ordinary character. He had thought that this time she would face considerable difficulties, but it turned out she came prepared, as if she had anticipated such an event.
Why? She was completely different from the personality they had investigated, but she was undeniably a descendant of the Dragon Clan. Among all living beings, only the Long family possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan. This proved that the young girl before them was truly a member of their Long family.
Long Yi Ming felt a bit unsettled and didn’t dare to underestimate Jing Pei.
He composed his emotions and approached her to vouch for her, saying, “Long Jin is speaking the truth. Her mother and my elder brother, Long An Kang, had a relationship that began in obscurity and can be considered a legitimate union. The so-called illegitimate daughter is baseless talk. The false rumors circulating online, I’m afraid you need to judge them for yourselves. Our words serve no purpose.”
If it weren’t for this video, others would think that Long Yi Ming was merely trying to salvage the image of a reversionist. However, with the video present, the situation was different.
The video was there, freezing Long An Kang’s face on the screen, and experts immediately checked whether the video was fake. The result was undeniably authentic.

Long An Kang’s expression grew even more unpleasant when he saw Long Yi Ming taking Jing Pei’s side. This treacherous turncoat, always siding with whichever party had an advantage. Why didn’t you say this last night?
Long An Kang and An Yao were confident that Jing Pei had returned just yesterday, unprepared and unaware of their plans. Little did they know that the world they existed in was constructed by the very girl before them. Their lives and stories were written by her, and she knew every twist and turn she had set up, as well as the thought patterns of each and every one of them.
So Jing Pei had anticipated that they would pull off such a move to pave the way for Long Ling. After dealing with the matters concerning the Huang and Bai families last night, she found the only person who would possess this video in the future and bought it from him.
The already high level of excitement skyrocketed even further due to this sudden reversal, and netizens began discussing it fervently.
“The biological father and daughter have conflicting stories!”
“I trust Long Jin. After all, how much credibility can we give to a cheating scumbag?”
“So, Long Jin isn’t the illegitimate daughter at all. An Yao and Long Ling are the third party and illegitimate daughter?”
“But they didn’t have a marriage certificate. An Yao is the one who got married, right?”

“If what Long Jin says is true, then it’s just disgusting. Not only did they abandon her, but now that they see her reversion, they’re also trying to defame her?”
“…This is even more disgusting than last night. What a despicable man.”
“An Yao must have been deceived by Long An Kang!”
“What a despicable man. No wonder Long Yi Ming has always overshadowed him. With this kind of character, it’s ridiculous to compare them.”
Long An Kang was someone who cared about his reputation. Deep down, he probably knew that he had mistreated Long Jin’s mother and had done something wrong. That’s why he kept it hidden, preferring to be seen as a scumbag who was seduced and cheated on rather than a scumbag who abandoned his loyal wife.
After all, in their circle, having affairs outside of marriage was considered normal, but abandoning a loyal spouse was truly looked down upon. He was already inferior to Long Yi Ming, and after this truth was exposed, it’s likely that even fewer people would hold him in high regard.
Last night, he was buying trending topics and influencers to generate more buzz, but now he wished he could take down those trends. However, not only could he not remove them, but soon anonymous individuals claiming to be his former classmates and friends from his time in the civilian world started speaking out. They talked about how Long Jin’s mother had treated Long An Kang so well, taking care of his adoptive parents, working to support him through university and graduate school, and so on.

Before long, netizens discovered more clues. For instance, how could the timeline from when Long An Kang and An Yao met to their marriage and subsequent recognition by the Long family be so short? It was so rushed that it seemed like they were in a hurry.
“I have a bold guess. Could it be that An Yao recognized Long An Kang as a member of the Long family, so she hurriedly married him? Judging from the pregnancy in the video, there’s only a difference of eight or nine months between Long Jin and Long Ling. A prestigious female college student like her, why would she rush to marry an average-looking older man who is not particularly wealthy?”
“!! That’s highly possible!”
“Do you think Long Ling is aware of this?”
Now An Yao’s expression grew even uglier. It seemed as if she could see her carefully cultivated image in this circle crumbling. She couldn’t even imagine the expressions on the faces of those female family heads who admired her and defended her when they learned about these things.
But even more unpleasant was Long Ling’s expression.
This wave of backlash came too fast, like a tornado. Where did Long Jin find this loophole and expose it so quickly?! If she found out who gave her this video, she wouldn’t spare him!

Long Ling thought about the group of people in the hotel restaurant who were cursing and eagerly waiting for the press conference. She imagined that they must have seen it by now, and she felt her face burning hot. It almost seemed like everyone around her was staring at her, their gazes piercing like needles.
However, in reality, there were very few people around, and they didn’t pay any attention to her.
At the same time, she felt incredibly relieved about what she had done last night.
…
In this press conference, apart from clarifying Long Jin’s background, a major piece of news was revealed to the public. The atavism certificate issued by the Atavism Genetic Research Institute confirmed that the atavism purity of the Long family’s atavistic individual reached an astonishing 90 percent.
Jing Pei’s atavism purity reached 90 percent, which meant that when she gained control over her atavistic power, she could switch between her human form and her dragon form. This was extremely rare, as in the country, there were only a handful of atavistic individuals with such high atavism purity.
“We’re dealing with an extraordinary character here.”
“She counterattacked so quickly and ruthlessly. There are signs that even Long Yi Ming is at a disadvantage. This girl is not easy to deal with.”

“She seems like the type who smiles beautifully but is ruthless in her actions. It’s terrifying.”
“With such high atavism purity, the Long family hasn’t had anyone with atavism for two hundred years. Could it be that they were saving it up for her?”
While the major atavism families were discussing this fervently, there were two families that showed no interest at all.
Those were the Huang and Bai families.
The head of the Huang family had a good night’s sleep and a satisfying meal. Feeling energized, he led his people to the Bai family to demand an explanation.
How did your Bai family slander the Huang family before? Now that the real culprit has been caught, you think you can act like nothing happened? What a joke!
“Well, what do you want?” Unlike the spirited members of the Huang family, the Bai family appeared weary and fatigued. They had dark circles under their eyes, and their facial features drooped with exhaustion.
“Hmph, compensation and a public apology! And hand over the real culprit. I want to see who has been scheming and plotting against my Huang family!” said the head of the Huang family. Only a fool would believe that the strand of Huang family member’s hair found deliberately placed inside the box containing the baby’s fingers was not done on purpose. They were not the kind of people who could be easily deceived.
“Compensation is possible, but don’t even think about anything else,” the Bai family responded firmly.
“White fox, did you think I wouldn’t expect this kind of response from you?” The head of the Huang family revealed a smug and ruthless smile. “That’s why I’ve already reported you to the Adjudication Bureau. A family of our level almost went to war last night. This incident is significant enough for that person to intervene and make a ruling.”
The faces of the Bai family members turned pale.
The full name of the Adjudication Bureau was the “Atavism Criminal Management Adjudication Department.” When disputes or crimes occurred among atavistic individuals, they had the following options:
- Pay to rent a space and settle the matter there.
- Report to the authorities.
The police and judiciary of the atavistic world were represented by the Adjudication Bureau.
The current Director of the Adjudication Bureau was one of the few atavistic individuals with an astonishing 90 percent atavism purity, a rarity that could be counted on one hand. Known for being powerful, beautiful, and ruthless.
At that moment, the butler hurriedly entered, his face pale as he addressed the Bai family, “Master, several cars from the Adjudication Bureau are heading towards our location.”

“Dad!” Bai Xinran, upon hearing this, descended from upstairs with a pale face, looking at her father with fear and helplessness.
They had spent the entire night sleepless, and it was only this morning that they decided to send Mu Wenxing and Mu Wenyue away, considering it as a debt they owed them. But now, the Huang family had reported them, and the officials from the Adjudication Bureau had arrived.
Outside, the sound of cars parking could already be heard, accompanied by an indescribable sense of oppression that surged in from outside, causing one’s heart to pound rapidly.
