The Debtor System: Starting with a debt of 1 billion

Chapter 14 The Family Secrets of the Blood-Red Siblings

Inside the study of the general's mansion, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

Lin Yu and Su Ya sat facing each other, the sound of rain pattering outside the window as if accompanying this long-forgotten past.

"Suya, do you still remember the Burmese couple who adopted you back then?" Lin Yu broke the silence, his voice low and serious.

Suya's hand, which was pouring tea, trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea spilled out.

"I remember..." She looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "Father said they died in a border conflict, which is why the general adopted me. Big brother, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"I just feel... something's not right." Lin Yu pulled out a yellowed photo from his pocket—a group photo he found in the files left behind by Zhao Kun.

In the photo, young Zhao Kun stands smiling beside two Burmese women. The Burmese woman's features bear a striking resemblance to Su Ya's.

"Look, doesn't this person look a lot like my adoptive mother from back then?"

Suya took the photo, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.

"This...this is..." She pointed to the Burmese man in the photo, "This is my adoptive father. But how could he be with Zhao Kun..."

"Zhao Kun is the one who has been relentlessly pursuing me and saddled me with a debt of two billion," Lin Yu said in a deep voice. "I've checked the records. The so-called 'sacrifice' of that couple back then was actually a meticulously planned murder. And the mastermind behind it is very likely the mysterious organization behind Zhao Kun."

Suya suddenly stood up, and the photo in her hand slipped to the ground.

"No, this can't be... Father said they are heroes..."

"The general may also be deceived." Lin Yu grasped her shoulders, his gaze firm. "Suya, you must believe me. That organization is omnipresent. They used the guise of adopting you to place you around the general's mansion, perhaps with ulterior motives."

Suya burst into tears and threw herself into Lin Yu's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Big brother, what should I do... I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lin Yu gently patted her back, his mind racing. [Activate "Advanced Deduction" mode, integrate existing clues.]

The adoption back then may not have been accidental. That mysterious organization may have long been eyeing the core of power in the Burmese military. And Suya may have been a pawn in their game, or... a bargaining chip used to control the general.

"Suya, do you remember if your adoptive father left you anything special? Like a keepsake, documents, or... a key?"

Suya raised her head, sobbing, and after a moment of thought, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes! Before my adoptive father passed away, he gave me a jade pendant and told me to keep it close to my body and not to take it out unless absolutely necessary."

With trembling hands, she took a red string from her neck, the end of which hung an inconspicuous black jade stone.

Lin Yu took the jade pendant; it was cool to the touch and hard in texture. He closed his eyes and activated "Eye of Treasure Appraisal" to scan it.

"System, decipher!"

As a faint blue light flashed, the internal structure of the jade pendant unfolded in Lin Yu's mind.

"This is no ordinary jade pendant..." Lin Yu was shocked to discover that the inside of the pendant was engraved with tiny characters and coordinates. "There's a list hidden inside, as well as a military deployment map of the Myanmar border!"

"A military deployment map?" Suya exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... my adoptive father...?"

"He's not some martyr, he's a traitor infiltrated within the military," Lin Yu said coldly. "He colluded with Zhao Kun's organization to steal military intelligence. And the people on this list are very likely spies within the military who have been bribed."

Su Ya's face was ashen: "Then... Father..."

"The general probably doesn't know yet," Lin Yu said in a deep voice. "If he knew that his adopted daughter was the daughter of a traitor, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but both of them understood the implications.

"Big brother, we can't let Father know..." Suya grabbed Lin Yu's hand. "He'll be heartbroken. Besides, if those traitors find out the jade pendant is with me, they'll stop at nothing to steal it."

"Don't worry, I have a way."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

"Suya, listen carefully. From now on, you must pretend you know nothing and continue to be the general's beloved daughter. As for me, I will use this jade pendant to lure out these traitors one by one and wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"But... big brother, you'll be in danger."

"Don't worry, I have the general's protection and the system's assistance, those traitors won't dare to act openly."

Lin Yu stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night outside.

"They took you away from me back then, and now they want to use you to destabilize the General's Mansion. This time, I will not let them succeed."

"Suya, tomorrow is the final round of the public auction. I will publicly expose the crimes of the Karen Group. And you, you must use your connections in the General's Mansion to help me find the first person on the list."

"Okay!" Suya wiped away her tears, a determined light rekindling in her eyes. "Big brother, I'll listen to you."

[Ding! The host has been detected to have triggered the "Family Secrets" quest chain.]

[Mission Objective: Assist Suya in uncovering the truth about her origins and eliminate traitors within the military.]

[Reward: Unlock the "Intelligence Analysis" skill and gain the highest level of trust from the Myanmar military.]

Lin Yu turned around, looked at Su Ya, and smiled slightly.

"Come on, let's join forces and stir up this muddy water completely."

Outside the window, the rain had stopped. A pale dawn was breaking in the eastern sky, heralding the arrival of a new day.

This day is destined to be the most turbulent day for the Myanmar military and the jade industry.
