Shi Jin sighed again, amazed. He gathered his thoughts and opened the second file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another two pictures\njumped out, the same as before. The man\u2019s appearance was both familiar and not:\nhis eyes were like Shi Xingrui\u2019s, but his features resembled the woman in the\nsecond photo. He looked cold and hard to approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surprised, Shi Jin had to\nthink for a moment before he realized this was the second eldest brother, Fei\nYujing, the only one he hadn\u2019t met yet. Fei Yujing was a lawyer, traveling\naround the world handling cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin examined the man\nin the photo, who wore a smile but had indifferent eyes. He frowned\u2014in the\noriginal \u2018Shi Jin\u2019s\u2019 memory, his second brother appeared kind and tolerant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Fei Yujing seemed to\npresent different faces to different people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or rather, he presented a\ndifferent face to the original \u2018Shi Jin.\u2019 His kindness was, unfortunately,\nnothing but a mask concealing Fei Yujing\u2019s true feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin looked at the\npicture a moment longer, then shifted his gaze to the other one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the photo of Fei\nYujing\u2019s mother, a woman of yet another type. While Shi Weichong\u2019s mother was a\nglamorous beauty and Li Jiuzheng\u2019s mother gentle, Fei Yujing\u2019s mother was a\n\u201cgoddess\u201d\u2014a perfect ice queen, whether in appearance or temperament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It looked like Shi Xingrui\nhad no particular type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin doubted his\nprevious speculation more and more. As he read further, his frown deepened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fei Yujing\u2019s mother, Fei\nLin, was born in a scholarly family from N City, which had fallen on hard\ntimes. Her parents were an unknown painter and a calligraphy teacher. Fei Lin,\nhowever, had no interest in either\u2014she chose to become a dancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She first met Shi Xingrui\nduring a free public performance. At the time, she was a promising, highly\nregarded newcomer, and he, a successful entrepreneur in the prime of his life.\nThey fell in love at first sight, started to live together a month later, and\nFei Lin became pregnant two months after that. Then, Shi Xingrui left N City\nfor an extended business trip, expanding the company, while Fei Lin abandoned\nher dancing career and returned to her parents\u2019 home to bear and raise her child.\nThe two separated just like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After Fei Yujing was born,\nShi Xingrui went to N City to meet with Fei Lin once. Afterward, they\napparently didn\u2019t keep in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around the same time Fei\nLin discovered she was pregnant, the impoverished Fei family unexpectedly found\na valuable painting passed down from their ancestors. After selling it, the\nfamily\u2019s economic situation improved considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fei Lin\u2019s father used the\nmoney to set up an art gallery, and her mother opened a calligraphy school.\nThen, as if their life turned into a movie: the gallery kept growing bigger and\nbigger, and was now one of the top galleries in the industry. Fei Lin\u2019s\nfather\u2019s paintings also sold at high prices. The calligraphy school gained\nprestige and earned a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared with her parents,\nFei Lin was much more low-key. She stopped dancing and moved abroad, devoting\nherself to raising Fei Yujing. She never returned to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, she resided in a\npicturesque little town in a foreign country, living in seclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no recent photo\nof Fei Lin in the file; most probably, she rarely allowed to have her pictures\nbe taken. Except for her son, she seemed to have little interest in the outside\nworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Shi Jin finished\nreading Fei Lin\u2019s information, he silently questioned Fei Lin and Shi Xingrui\u2019s\n\u201clove at first sight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at the timeline,\nit was likely she and Shi Xingrui had a deal: she gave him a son, and he lent\nher family a hand, helping her parents achieve the success they dreamed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, this was only\nShi Jin\u2019s guess\u2014only the parties involved knew what really happened that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He sorted out the\ninformation in his head then moved on to the third part. Not surprisingly, it\nbegan with pictures of Rong Zhouzhong and a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin ignored his\nbrother\u2019s glamorous photo and looked at his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman in the picture\nhad a pair of seductive eyes, a smooth, oval face, and a somewhat coquettish\nexpression\u2014she was a born temptress. Rong Zhouzhong was very similar to his\nmother, but as a man, he tended to suppress this natural charm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin was now confident\nhe had guessed wrong\u2014Shi Xingrui didn\u2019t have a preference. He was more like a\ncollector, picking women of different types and having a child with each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was like a protagonist\nof wish-fulfillment type of novels\u2014a harem novel, in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heaving yet another sigh,\nShi Jin slid his finger over the screen, scrolling down to reveal the\ninformation underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rong Zhouzhong\u2019s mother\u2019s\nname was Rong Xili. She was born in a small county town, and even in her\nchildhood, her beauty was striking. As a teenager, she became an actress by\nchance, but her popularity wasn\u2019t that great. Her repertoire was limited\u2014eight\nout of ten characters she played were villainesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a business event, Shi\nXingrui, who at the time was already a big boss, took a fancy to her. He kept\nher for a while and even spent some money to help her gain popularity. A few\nmonths later, pregnant Rong Xili temporarily retired from the entertainment\nindustry, and the newly gathered popularity dissipated as quickly as it\nappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nine months later, soon\nafter Rong Zhouzhong was born, Shi Xingrui patted his ass and left, ending his\nrelationship with Rong Xili. He still had some conscience left, however, and\nheavily invested in a movie where Rong Xili played the main role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This movie made Rong Xili\nfamous and earned her several large awards. Yet, instead of taking advantage of\nthe favorable winds to push her career further, she chose to retire backstage\nand started her own entertainment company. Now, decades later, it had become\none of the giants in the industry. Rong Xili\u2019s acting life ended at the peak of\nher career and was long forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So not only is Rong Zhouzhong a movie emperor, but his mother was a movie queen too? He\u2019s actually a second-generation superstar?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin passed his hand\nover his face, frustrated because of all the information the novel\u2019s plot\nlacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a person in the\nentertainment circle, it was almost impossible to hide anything about his or\nher lives. However, there was no information about Rong Zhouzhong\u2019s mother in\nthe original \u2018Shi Jin\u2019s\u2019 memory. Was it because Shi Xingrui coddled \u2018him\u2019 too\nmuch, or because \u2018he\u2019 hadn\u2019t paid any attention to this matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin wasn\u2019t any better.\nHe infiltrated Rong Zhouzong\u2019s fan network to get information about him and\neven contacted the stalker fans, yet he didn\u2019t know the man\u2019s mother used to be\nan actress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Too sloppy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n He took a moment to\nreflect on his mistakes then opened the file with the information on Xiang Aoting\u2019s\nmother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was a dignified,\nintelligent-looking woman with beauty that easily caught eyes. It was a pity\nXiang Aoting inherited his father\u2019s looks, not his mother\u2019s demure elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This time, Shi Jin only\ngave the pictures a cursory glance and focused on what followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xiang Aoting\u2019s mother,\nXiang Qing, was born in G City. Her parents were a policeman and a nurse, the\noccupations which gave people a sense of security. Xiang Qing studied in a\nteacher\u2019s college. If she\u2019d been able to graduate, she would\u2019ve become an\nexcellent teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, she failed\nto complete her studies. In her junior year, her father lost his life while on\nduty. Her mother fell ill, and her underage sister became emotionally unstable.\nTo take care of them, she dropped out of college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Later the same year, she\nmet Shi Xingrui. The same old routine followed: they fell in love at first\nsight, began to live together, and at the beginning of the following year, she\nbecame pregnant. However, probably because taking care of her mother and sister\nhad exhausted her too much, she miscarried in the third month of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Xingrui\u2019s wave of hand\nsent Xiang Qing\u2019s mother and sister to the best hospitals and sanatoriums, then\nhe settled her in a splendid residence, like a pampered mistress. Half a year\nlater, she was pregnant again. Her sister recovered from her mental issues,\nreturned to school, and devoted herself to studying, and their mother\u2019s illness\nalso improved. Slowly, the family\u2019s situation took a turn for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once it was certain Xiang\nQing\u2019s pregnancy wasn\u2019t in danger, Shi Xingrui had no qualms to leave. He\nreturned only to take a look at the newly born Xiang Aoting, then broke off all\ncontact with Xiang Qing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The year Xiang Aoting was\nborn, Xiang Qing\u2019s sister got a priceless admission spot for a top university.\nAfter that, her life went smoothly. She worked hard to complete the advanced\nstudies and was now in charge of an important official research project with a\nlarge number of talents working under her. When she spoke, the scientific\ncommunity didn\u2019t ignore her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xiang Qing herself took up\nher studies again after giving birth and was a university teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both sisters remained\nunmarried. They devoted all their energy to their careers, and all their love\nand care to Xiang Aoting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin examined the\nrecent photos of Xiang Aoting\u2019s mother and her sister, the frown never leaving\nhis face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scent of a deal was intensifying\nmore and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He promptly looked at the\nnext part, wanting to confirm this feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was about Li Jiuzheng\u2019s\nmother, Li Yuewei. Her appearance was of the meek and lovable type, and it was\neasy to notice her character was also weak. She was a native of Chengdu; her\nfamily ran a small hotel and was fairly well off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She met Shi Xingrui during a public lecture at her university. As a successful businessman, he was invited to be a guest speaker. She\u2019d volunteered to help out and was welcoming visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the data,\nthey fell in love soon after they met. A few months later, Li Yuewei became\npregnant and, despite her parents\u2019 opposition, kept the child and dropped out\nof university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right after that, she\nmoved into the house Shi Xingrui bought for her. For a time, he was very fond\nof her and spoiled her almost to the point of giving her everything she wished\nfor, but this pampering came to an abrupt end after Li Jiuzheng was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Li Yuewei still had\nanything she wanted, but she couldn\u2019t see Shi Xingrui anymore\u2014that\u2019s right, the\nman yet again patted his butt and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She kept waiting for him\nto come back to Chengdu and see her\u2014he didn\u2019t bother. She attempted to find him\non her own, but he refused to meet her. Every time she tried, he snubbed Li\nJiuzheng. Gradually, Li Yuewei stopped looking for Shi Xingrui and stayed in\nChengdu, waiting for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin felt something was\nstrange and read this part over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, there was no\nindication of a deal. Unlike the others, Li Yuewei\u2019s family didn\u2019t get any\nbenefit from Shi Xingrui, either when they were together or after Li Jiuzheng\nwas born. Her parents sold their hotel years ago to gain money to support\nthemselves in their old age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Xingrui provided financial aid to the families of his earlier women, but the Li family was an exception. Why?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin frowned. He went\nthrough the information again and discovered the common point: the mothers of\nhis first four brothers decisively broke all contact and didn\u2019t come looking\nfor Shi Xingrui after he left them, but Li Yuewei didn\u2019t. She loved Shi Xingrui\ntoo much and couldn\u2019t stand being abandoned; she wanted to get him back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Was this why the Li family didn\u2019t get anything? Because Li Yuewei was too clingy?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin\u2019s expression\ndistorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike the other women, Li\nYuewei didn\u2019t seem to have made a deal with Shi Xingrui. It looked more as if\nshe had been deceived and taken advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Xingrui was not only a womanizer, but he was also a true and utter scum\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A pair of chopsticks\nsuddenly appeared in front of Shi Jin\u2019s eyes, interrupting his thoughts. After\na pause, he looked up at the person who held them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun waved the\nchopsticks, motioning to the breakfast that had appeared on the rattan table at\nsome point. He said, \u201cEat something before you continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh\u2026\nThank you.\u201d Shi Jin took the chopsticks and glanced at the steaming hot dishes.\nHis mind slowly emerged from the conundrum of the past, and he apologized, embarrassed:\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I was so absorbed in reading that I forgot you hadn\u2019t eaten\nbreakfast yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s\nall right.\u201d Lian Jun poured him a glass of juice and pushed the plate closer to\nhim. \u201cEat quickly, cold food isn\u2019t good for your stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin hummed in reply\nand obediently took a sip of the juice. Then, he realized Lian Jun\u2019s words\nsounded familiar\u2014wasn\u2019t this what he always said to the man during meals? And\nwhat the heck, had Lian Jun ordered breakfast for him? He even handed him the\nchopsticks and poured the juice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right now, was Lian Jun waiting on him? He actually let his own boss wait on himself during breakfast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCough cough cough<\/em>\u2014\u201d Frightened by what his brain had made up, Shi Jin choked on the juice. He covered his mouth and started to cough intensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun looked at him and\nreached for the napkin. He pulled the teenager\u2019s hand away, then wiped his\nmouth and hands stained with the juice, his actions fluid. \u201cEat slowly, no one\nis rushing you,\u201d he admonished, kindly pushing a few dishes closer to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin was stiff. He\nrecalled the feeling of Lian Jun\u2019s hand carefully wiping his face and poked\nXiao Si in his mind like mad, asking nervously: \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with Lian Jun?\nHow come he\u2019s acting so gentle and caring to his subordinates? Did he eat\nsomething weird?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xiao Si replied happily,\n<No, it\u2019s because Darling luvs you, JinJin, he totally luuuvs you, yeah!\nYou\u2019re Darling\u2019s little darling!><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin fell silent and decided to banish his system to the \u201csmall black room\u201d to let it calm down. He took a look at Lian Jun\u2019s face, but the man\u2019s expression was the same as usual. Suspecting he\u2019d overreacted, he shook his head and concentrated on eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After breakfast, Shi Jin\nproposed they take a walk and look around the island. Lian Jun said he had\nsomething urgent to deal with, but they could go in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin immediately\nrealized Lian Jun\u2019s refusal was in consideration of his desire to finish\nreading. Though he didn\u2019t say anything, Lian Jun\u2019s thoughtfulness touched him.\nHe accompanied Lian Jun to the large study and helped him settle down,\nflattering him now and then, then returned to his small study and picked up the\ntablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After turning it on and\ngoing over the information again, he remembered he didn\u2019t finish reading about\nLi Jiuzheng\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He skimmed through what\nwas left\u2014it was mostly about Li Jiuzheng\u2019s youth. According to it, Li Jiuzheng\nenjoyed the best resources and received the best care since birth. After\ndeciding to study medicine, he quickly became the disciple of a famous doctor,\nElder Sun from Chengdu. None of these had been within Li Yuewei or the Li\nfamily\u2019s power or means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was more\u2014because Li\nYuewei wasn\u2019t able to take care of him, and her mental condition was a bit\nunstable, Li Jiuzheng was taken care of by the nannies. These nannies were all\nsent by Shi Xingrui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The information also said\nthat after Li Jiuzheng was accepted by Elder Sun as his apprentice, his family\u2019s\nsituation gradually became better. Li Jiuzheng\u2019s opening of a private clinic\nwas possible thanks to his master\u2019s funding and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin thought he\nunderstood why the information about Li Jiuzheng had been added\u2014it was to tell\nhim that while the Li family didn\u2019t get anything from Shi Xingrui, he\ncultivated Li Jiuzheng. Then he, as the Elder Sun\u2019s disciple, helped them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this, Shi Jin finished\nreading the information about his brothers\u2019 mothers. He looked at the last\nfile, pretty sure he knew what it was about. He hesitated a little before\nopening it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two pictures appeared. One\nwas a photo of the original \u2018Shi Jin\u2019 as a child, the other belonged to a\ndelicate young woman. She looked gentle and had a kind expression on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin sighed\u2014sure\nenough, it was \u2018Shi Jin\u2019s\u2019 mother. He didn\u2019t ask Lian Jun to check this for him,\nbut Lian Jun still did thoughtfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was beautiful; her\nfeatures, either alone or combined, were almost perfect. It was the kind of\ntimeless beauty that transcended both standards and personal preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin\u2019s mood was\ncomplicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He looked exactly the same\nas this world\u2019s \u2018Shi Jin,\u2019 but he didn\u2019t know what his own mother looked like:\nhe was adopted. Though his adoptive parents loved him very much, he didn\u2019t\nresemble them at all, so from an early age, he knew he wasn\u2019t their natural\nchild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since he and the original\n\u2018Shi Jin\u2019 were identical, wouldn\u2019t his biological mother look the same as this\n\u2018Shi Jin\u2019s\u2019 mother too\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cXiao\nSi, why do we look so similar? Even the small beauty mark on our noses is the\nsame. Do you know the reason?\u201d He couldn\u2019t help asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The system was quiet as if\nit didn\u2019t hear his question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guessing he wouldn\u2019t get\nan answer, Shi Jin fell silent too. He gazed at the photo for a while,\nspellbound, then shook himself and began to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The original \u2018Shi Jin\u2019s\u2019\nmother\u2019s name was Yun Jin. She had been abandoned as a baby and grew up in an\norphanage in a small town. Shi Xingrui met her when she was about to leave and\nlive independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She really was special. Shi\nXingrui had been obsessed with her since the moment he saw her; he even stopped\nall business to stay in that small town for half a year. Only after he won her\nover did he return to B City, taking her with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When they got together,\nShi Xingrui radiated happiness. He announced Yun Jin as his fiancee and even\nordered a wedding ring and dress, ready to marry her. Unfortunately, before\nwedding preparations were complete, Yun Jin unexpectedly became pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Xingrui, afraid she\u2019d\ntire herself out, suspended the wedding, and put away his scummy nature. Like a\ngenuinely loving, doting husband, he accompanied and personally took care of\nYun Jin during her entire pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After Shi Jin was born,\nShi Xingrui didn\u2019t abandon him like his older sons\u2014on the contrary, he added a\n\u201cdoting dad\u201d title to the one of \u201cdoting husband.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, this idyllic time\ndidn\u2019t last long\u2014Yun Jin died shortly after giving birth to Shi Jin. Shi\nXingrui was depressed for some time and cheered up only after it was time to\ngive Shi Jin his name. From then on, he always kept him by his side, carefully\nraised him, and never looked for a lover again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin whispered these\ntwo names, \u201cYun Jin\u201d and \u201cShi Jin.\u201d He hid his face in his hands for a moment,\nthen rubbed it hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was undeniable that for\nShi Xingrui, the original \u2018Shi Jin\u2019 and \u2018his\u2019 mother were indeed special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was just that he\ncouldn\u2019t understand why. Simply because Yun Jin was heart-stoppingly beautiful?\nWas the scum man\u2019s nature so easy to change? Though Yun Jin was easy on the\neyes, she wasn\u2019t that much better-looking than the other five women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So why on earth?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unconsciously, he enlarged\nher picture again and scrutinized the gentle and beautiful woman in the photo.\nHe examined her eyes, which were similar to those of Li Jiuzheng\u2019s mother, then\nhis gaze slowly wandered around her face. Suddenly, he sat up straight and\nstared at the photo, a startled look in his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wait a second, this\u2026<\/em> Li Yuewei wasn\u2019t the only one Yun Jin looked similar to. Her mouth was almost like Rong Zhouzhong\u2019s mother\u2019s, pouty and inviting kisses, except Rong Xili\u2019s lips were fuller. Yun Jin\u2019s lips were a little thinner and their color a bit lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps, Shi Jin grasped a\nclue at last. Shi Jin opened the pictures of his brothers\u2019 mothers and\ncarefully compared them with \u2018his\u2019 mother one by one. Finally, he imported the\nphotos from the tablet to his laptop and ran a facial recognition software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An hour later, Shi Jin\nlooked at the pictures of six woman on the screen, each completely analyzed,\nfeeling numb. Except for Shi Weichong\u2019s mother, the other four resembled Yun\nJin to some degree, though it wasn\u2019t always obvious at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, Fei Lin. She and Yun Jin weren\u2019t similar at all, but if they turned their heads a little and tilted them at a particular angle, the shape of their faces looked almost identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Rong Xili\u2019s case, it\nwas more noticeable\u2014her lips were almost the same. Xiang Qing\u2014her nose and\nprofile were very similar. There was no need to mention Li Yuewei\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn\nthe end, what was Shi Xingrui doing\u2026\u201d Shi Jin collapsed on the sofa, his eyes\nstill on the laptop screen. His vague hunch turned out to be the truth. \u201cWas he\nlooking for someone\u2019s replacement? And wanted his child to look like that\nperson?\u201d Was that why his brothers were abandoned\u2014because there was no\nresemblance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wait<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n He came to a sudden,\nterrible realization\u2014all six of Shi Xingrui\u2019s children were male. Statistically\nspeaking, something like this bordered on impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He then remembered Xiang\nQing\u2019s first child, which she\u2019d lost due to miscarriage, and felt his blood run\ncold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this miscarriage wasn\u2019t\nnatural but man-made\u2026 Had Shi Xingrui been looking for a woman resembling a\ncertain man?
