**3:17 AM**, Xia Xiaoman infiltrated the restricted archives deep within the Li Corporation alone.
The air carried the stale scent of aged paper and the metallic tang of cooling electronics. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she hacked into the encrypted database. The screen's blue glow cast sharp shadows across her tense face, her pupils contracting slightly from the strain.
**"Xia Construction Bankruptcy Case"**
The moment the file opened, her breath caught—
**December 24, 1999, Christmas Eve.**
Security footage showed her parents standing on the rooftop of Li Corporation's headquarters. Li Chenzhou stood with his back to the camera, holding a document. Xia Xiaoman zoomed in—the words **"MN-07 Experiment Termination Agreement"** were clearly visible.
The next second, Li Chenzhou raised his hand in a signal. Two bodyguards stepped forward, forcibly pressing Xia Mingyuan and his wife's hands onto another document—**"Full Debt Transfer Agreement."**
**"The 'suicide' was a cover-up."**
Her fingers trembled as she opened the autopsy reports:
- **Father, Xia Mingyuan**: Blunt force trauma to the back of the skull, injected with neural inhibitors before death.
- **Mother, Lin Lan**: Ligature marks on wrists, no smoke inhalation in lungs—proving she was already dead before the "fall."
But it was the deliberately blurred fine print at the bottom that turned her blood to ice:
**"Eyewitness: Xia Xiaoman (age 7). Memory sealing procedure complete."**### **[Xia Xiaoman's Investigation]**
