Imperial Capital.
Ye Cheng glanced at the calendar, today is the sixteenth. According to the information from the call Su Xiaofeng made to his mother, her family is hosting a banquet on the sixteenth.
According to her, she would return to the Imperial Capital after the banquet.
Which ans she is likely to co back these days.
It has been over ten days already, she really has the heart to leave the two kids in the Imperial Capital.
An Yi, seeing the young master looking at the calendar again, covered his mouth trying not to let the young master see the smirk forming on his face.
The young master checks the calendar every day, as for why he needs to look at it, probably only the young master himself knows.
After putting the calendar back in place, Ye Cheng casually asked An Yi, "Has n Chao done anything recently?"
"Recently he has been consistently showing an ambitious face in public, without displaying any further ambition. It’s said that Miss Xu’s illness hasn’t improved; she’s been bedridden the whole ti."
"Of course, Xu Xuezi cannot die, at least not now. If Xu Xuezi dies now, it would affect him taking over the position of Family Head of the Xu Family sowhat."
If Xu Xuezi died, as long as Mr. Xu found an opportunity to declare to the public that n Chao was no longer the Xu Family’s son-in-law, n Chao definitely wouldn’t let Xu Xuezi die for the ti being.
"From the data we have, his father was a project manager at the ti, and his mother was an experintal staff mber; when the explosion happened, his mother was six months pregnant and just a few months away from giving birth." An Yi presented the recently collected data to Ye Cheng, "After the explosion, n Chao beca an orphan. Because his father was involved in a secret project, he lost contact with his relatives back ho for many years, and n Chao, uncared for, was sent to an orphanage."
"At the orphanage, Mr. Xu took him and Yin Li to the Xu Family together. Mr. Xu chose to bring them back to the Xu Family because first, he saw that they were both orphans without any support, and second, he recognized their talents, thus deciding to raise them in the Xu Family. Without a doubt, Mr. Xu was bringing a wolf into the house by personally cultivating n Chao’s abilities."
Ye Cheng looked at the information, which showed that n Chao had been absolutely loyal to Mr. Xu in the earlier years and only started to behave oddly in the latter years.
Which ans, during that ti, he must have started investigating the 319 explosion case, then he learned sothing.
"n Chao’s ambitions definitely don’t stop with the Xu Family." Ye Cheng put down the information, "On the day I had an accident, he must have been behind it as well, killing two birds with one stone with a deft move."
"Master, about the 319 explosion, the records at the archives claim it was due to an operational error by the experintal staff. If it truly were just an operational error, it would be a simple matter of procedure, unrelated to anyone. n Chao, in this way, might be able to threaten the power balance in the Imperial Capital."
n Chao first made a move on the Xu Family, then stirred up the Gu Family.
"No, it shouldn’t be an operational error, but soone wanting to destroy the experint base. Those one hundred thirty lives were probably lost unjustly." How important that project was at the ti, only a few people in the Imperial Capital knew. Just as the project reached a critical phase, the laboratory exploded. It’s really too much of a coincidence.
"Do you an that among the four main persons in charge at the ti, there might have been a traitor?"
"Whatever the truth is, it will eventually co to light. Have you tracked that Lan Shuixian? Whom does she et with, does she show any abnormalities?"
"She sets up her stall during the day, sotis working as a waitress at Lange Yuntian Club in the evenings. It is said they offer high service charges and one night’s earnings there can cover a whole day of her working at the stall."
"Keep an eye on her. Her parents were also among the casualties back then; perhaps she has so connections with the children of those people from that year."
"Master, if the truth is indeed man-made or related to our four major families, this truth could be detrintal to us." So, the sealing of the 319 explosion case was because the higher-ups no longer allowed further investigation, afraid it would dig up news unfavorable to the public.
Ye Cheng stood up and looked out the window, changing the subject, "Has Wolfman’s shipnt arrived yet?"
"It’s said to arrive tonight."
"We’ll receive the goods tonight."
...
Xiaonian brought several bottles of rice wine back to the Imperial Capital, which weighed heavily on her shoulder. She had never carried so much luggage before. After transporting the rice wine to the car, she nearly burst into tears.
Her sister hadn’t said they would return by train. From entering the train station to boarding the train, the weight had really gotten to her.
The worst part, Quan Nianyan didn’t even offer to help.
Hmph, he won’t get any to drink after they get back.
The ti on the train can pass surprisingly quickly. After eating two als and sleeping twice, she opened her eyes to find herself already in the Imperial Capital.
