3 My Son Is a Superstar

There’s a saying that truly rings true: when you’re out in the world, your identity is what you make of it yourself. But Xie Yunze never expected that his identity would be assigned to him by others. If the original owner had just lied to these people from the start, telling them he was the richest man in the world, wouldn’t that lie have become the truth in no time?

Xie Yunze stared in shock at the three elder brothers in front of him who had already fabricated his identity for him. He was about to explain that he wasn’t like that, that he had none of those things, when the butler Eston stepped in to complicate matters.

Eston dropped to one knee once again. This handsome, blonde-haired, blue-eyed butler knelt with the utmost sincerity and loyalty, then uttered words that sent chills down Xie Yunze’s spine.

“Master! As your most loyal butler, Eston will help you reclaim everything you have lost! Please command me!”

???

What nonsense is this again? What have I lost that needs to be reclaimed???

Xie Yunze’s gaze fell on Eston’s golden hair, and he once again felt that the system’s gift of this butler was truly a curse. Otherwise, how could a competent butler put his master in such an awkward position?

At that moment, Xie Yunze felt as if he could pry a whole villa out from inside his shoe. Before he could stop himself, he saw two rows of tall black-suited bodyguards mimic the butler Eston, kneeling in a line with heads bowed reverently. Ten of them spoke in unison.

“Please give your orders, Master! We vow to help reclaim everything you have lost!”

...

This is just too much. Xie Yunze felt as if the villa pried from his shoe had collapsed beneath him. He wished he could disappear into the ground, but at that moment, the system chimed in again.

[Beep! Li Dongfeng’s trust value +500!]

[Beep! Shi Hongju’s trust value +500!]

[Beep! Zhang Liang’s trust value +500!]

[Beep! Kong Miao’s trust value +1000!]

The scene before them stunned Li Dongfeng and the others, who now looked at Xie Yunze with the expression of “you finally stopped pretending.” They felt they had truly encountered a hidden nobleman in the city. Xie Yunze’s butler and bodyguards had just called him “Master”! What ordinary family could ever have such a title?

Xie Yunze sighed helplessly and snapped at Eston and the others.

“You all get out and wait in the car! Don’t come near without my orders!”

The master’s command was the highest law for the butler and bodyguards. Eston and the others quickly rose, not daring to utter a word, and hurried toward the car. Still, their backs radiated strength, as if they weren’t being driven away but sent on an important mission.

After they left, Xie Yunze turned to the four people in front of him, who all wore expressions that seemed to say, “I see through your identity.”

“I’m really just an ordinary person. At most, I have a butler and some bodyguards. There’s no special background.”

Super special forces, son-in-law of a female CEO from a wealthy family, disowned scion of a powerful family — what nonsense were these?

Xie Yunze regretted ever joking with Kong Miao about having a butler and bodyguards. At this point, these people were not only useless but only adding to the chaos!

He looked at the four with sincere eyes, hoping they would believe him.

“Oh~~”

Li Dongfeng immediately made a face like “I understand now,” and Xie Yunze looked at him expectantly.

“Xiao Xie, I get it. You’re currently being watched by enemies and can’t reveal your identity. Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t tell anyone you’re a disowned scion of a wealthy family!”

...Enemies watching me? What enemies? I’m not hiding anything!

Xie Yunze felt the hope on his face crack.

He turned to Shi Hongju, who lowered his voice to avoid eavesdropping.

“Xiao Xie, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone you’re actually a son-in-law trying to prove himself to a rich heiress. Just focus on your efforts! You’ll astonish everyone in time.”

...Astonish who? I’m really not a son-in-law in a wealthy family! Hongju, wake up!

Xie Yunze felt utterly bewildered. Just as he was about to glance past the expectant Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang grabbed his hand, looking excited as he promised,

“Xiao Xie, I know you’re neither a disowned scion nor a son-in-law, right?”

!!! Finally, a sane person!

Hearing that, Xie Yunze grabbed Zhang Liang’s hand back, feeling relieved to find someone who understood him.

“Brother Zhang, I knew you’d get me.”

So where did all these bizarre identities come from?

Just as Xie Yunze thought he had found someone who saw through his lies to the truth, Zhang Liang said solemnly,

“You can’t be a disowned scion or a son-in-law! Last month I saw the scar on your knee — it’s old and weathered. Judging by my eyes, besides a knife wound, there’s a gunshot wound, right?”

So???

Xie Yunze watched Zhang Liang grow more excited, his face flushed.

“So you must be a super special forces soldier! Otherwise, how would you have both knife and gun wounds? Don’t worry, I won’t reveal your true identity. You just have to lay low on the construction site. If you trust me, tell me your revenge plan. I’m no fighter, but I can help gather intel! By the way... are you from our country’s Dragon Unit or the Special Intelligence Division Nine?”

...Can I say those wounds were from some heroic rescue of my wife from drug dealers? How did that become proof I’m special forces?

Xie Yunze was baffled. He released Zhang Liang’s hand and tried to look at the pure-hearted Kong Miao, unaware that Li Dongfeng and Shi Hongju had caught the flicker of excitement in Zhang Liang’s eyes when he mentioned the gunshot wound.

Kong Miao was so impressed by his brother Xie’s gaze that he raised his hand, swearing to the heavens,

“Xie Ge! I swear I won’t reveal any of your identities! If there really are enemies on the site, I’ll help you first! But Xie Ge, are you really one of those amazing special forces who can scale walls and fly through the airI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
