She had completely lost control of the situation. Yu Wan sat in front of the computer in a daze, looking at Yu Yao on the screen, who was surrounded by microphones handed over by reporters.

Why was this happening? Wasn’t face-swapping the latest technology only mastered by that organization? Why could Yu Yao easily and openly show this technology in public?

At this moment, almost everyone had forgotten that this was a press conference for a variety show. The netizens were all amazed at the magicalness of this technology, and the reporters present had acutely grasped the topics for the headlines.

“Miss Yu Yao, can you introduce this technology in detail?”

“Yu Jue, was the face-swapping app developed by the Yu Corporation’s research team? Does this mean that the Yu Corporation has plans to enter the emerging technology industry?”

“When can this app be available on the market?”

“Hello, may I ask…”

The venue of the press conference was already in chaos. The reporters pushed forward without a care in the world, all wanting to be the first to get a direct quote from Yu Yao or Yu Jue.

Yu Yao, who had remained calm even when she was slandered and framed, was now stunned and at a loss.

Why were all these people so excited? Face-swapping was clearly a very ordinary and normal technique. In the real world, all kinds of face-swapping software were used by the public. Even if such a technique had never appeared in the novel world, there was no need to be so shocked, right?

Yu Jue was also surrounded by reporters. Almost everyone assumed that this was a program jointly developed by the Yu family’s research team. Then, Yu Jue naturally knew more about the company’s products and related development plans than Yu Yao. The reporters focused their attention on Yu Jue.

However, what everyone did not know was that Yu Jue was in the same situation as everyone else. Before today’s press conference, he had no idea that there was such a technology called face-swapping. His shock was no less than any of the netizens behind the screens.

He also had countless questions to ask Yu Yao, but seeing his sister surrounded by the reporters with a dumbfounded expression, even if there were too many things he didn’t understand, Yu Jue could only temporarily suppress it.

Yu Jue’s reflexes were very fast. When the reporters’ actions became too rough and they were about to collide with Yu Yao, he hurriedly took a step forward and used his body to block the charging reporters.

“Everyone, don’t be agitated. Please remain calm and maintain order on the scene. We won’t answer any questions that have nothing to do with the variety show anymore…”

Yu Jue stretched out his two arms and escorted Yu Yao slowly towards the exit.

Fortunately, the Xuanwu platform’s security personnel arrived in time. The burly security guards blocked the reporters and the audience, opening a path for Yu Jue and Yu Yao to leave safely.

It was not easy for them to squeeze into Yu Jue’s nanny van. The assistant and manager were sprawled in the car, their clothes ravaged.

Yu Jue was usually very noisy in front of Yu Yao, chattering non-stop, but at this time, he was very quiet.

He frowned and looked at Yu Yao from time to time with a complex expression. He seemed to have many questions, but he did not voice them.

Her hesitation made Yu Yao feel very uncomfortable. In the end, she couldn’t stand the strange atmosphere and looked at Yu Jue impatiently.

“What do you want to ask?”

“Yaoyao, the code you were writing at home, was it to create this face-swapping software?”

Yu Yao nodded. “That’s right, but that isn’t your biggest concern, right?”

Yu Jue did not respond immediately. After mentally preparing himself, he asked, “Yaoyao, when did you learn how to program?”

Actually, Yu Jue wanted to ask: Are you really the same Yu Yao as before? Or rather, what he wanted to ask more was: Are you really my sister?

In the previous lifetime, Yu Yao had been a timid, weak, but kind-hearted ordinary girl. She definitely did not have such genius programming skills.

Yu Yao seemed to be able to see Yu Jue’s true thoughts. She was not surprised by Yu Jue’s suspicions. After all, the past Yu Yao was only a girl who had grown up in a small town. She should not have such advanced internet knowledge and programming skills.

She did not regret showing her true self, even though this might cause the Yu family to doubt her true identity.

She had no intention of hiding the fact that she was no longer the original Yu Yao.

“Why didn’t you ask what you really wanted to ask?” Yu Yao chuckled as she glanced at the scenery outside the window.

“You’re right. I’m no longer the same Yu Yao. That Yu Yao already died when she was about to be violated by the director of the mental hospital. I’ll live on her behalf in the future.”

“Yaoyao, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…”

Yu Yao thought that Yu Jue would be furious after the initial shock and would ask who she was and why she had pretended to be his sister. However, she had never expected Yu Jue to have such a reaction..
