The net that Lu Tingchen had set up tightened silently. Taking the P.P. Foundation as a breakthrough point, he mobilized the extensive business network and deep connections of the Lu family, and exerted pressure from multiple perspectives including finance, logistics, and even some information channels in the gray areas. The movements are precise and low-key, like the undercurrents beneath the deep sea, calm on the surface but surging within, aiming to alert the "snake" lurking in the shadows.
Su Wanwan was lost in the materials that Lu Tingchen had given her. She is no longer the little wife who can only passively accept protection. She uses her designer's sharp observation and logical thinking to try to find the overlooked clues from the vast amount of information.
She found that the flow of funds of the P.P. Foundation was extremely complex, but there were several hidden nodes that were repeatedly associated with a laboratory named "New Life Biotechnology". And this laboratory, during the period mentioned in my mother's diary, happened to have a brief and undisclosed cooperation project with the Su Group.
This discovery made her heart race. She immediately told Lu Tingchen this clue.
"New life..." Lu Tingchen pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, "I have a bit of an impression." Qin Hao, look into the background of this laboratory, especially the person in charge and the main projects from over twenty years ago. "Be quick." "
The order was carried out promptly. The Lu family's efficient machines started to operate for the female owner.
While waiting for the feedback, Su Wanwan felt a bit restless. She was pacing in the sunroom with her son in her arms. The little one seemed to sense his mother's worries and was particularly well-behaved, just quietly looking at her with his big black eyes.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated and she received an anonymous email. The sender's address was disguised, and the content consisted only of a brief sentence and an attachment link:
Do you want to know the real cause of Li Qingya's death? Click to see what your father signed." **
Su Wanwan's heart gave a sudden jolt! It's that mysterious person again! This time, the father was directly mentioned!
She subconsciously looked around. The bodyguard was in the distance and the nanny was preparing complementary food. She took a deep breath and clicked on that link.
The mobile phone screen jumps to an encrypted cloud storage page, and a password needs to be entered. She tried her mother's birthday and her own birthday, but neither was right. Finally, she somehow typed the abbreviation "P.P.".
The page is unlocked! There is only one scanned file inside.
It was a yellowed confidentiality agreement and informed consent form for the project, signed by Su's father and "Xinsheng Biotechnology". The project name has been blurred, but the key terms are so clear that they are dazzling: Party A (Xinsheng Bio) promises to provide financial support to Party B (Mr. Su) to help his company get through the crisis. Party B agrees that its immediate family member (clearly written in the name: Li Qingya) may serve as a volunteer for the non-public initial clinical trial of the new neurosedative.
The signing date was just three months before my mother's car accident.
At the end of the document, there are a few scribbled medical observation notes attached: Volunteer No. 07 (Li Qingya), showing a strong rejection reaction, accompanied by cognitive disorder and persecutory delusions, it is recommended to terminate the trial and enhance monitoring...
Su Wanwan was as if struck by lightning. Her phone slipped from her trembling hand and crashed onto the carpet, making a dull sound.
It turns out... The truth turns out to be like this!
Father wasn't trying to cover up any dirty business deals, but... He personally sent his mother into a dangerous illegal drug trial! For money? To save his company?
The words "discovered something" and "the person I trust the most" mentioned in my mother's diary refer to this! She found herself as an experimental subject and discovered her husband's betrayal! The sense of "being watched" she felt was not a delusion; it was very likely that the test party was really monitoring her reaction!
That car accident... Is it to silence someone? Is it to prevent the mother who might reveal the secret?
A great deal of pain and nausea swept over Su Wanwan. She covered her mouth, her stomach churning. She always thought her father was just cowardly and compromising, but she never expected that he was actually the direct instigator!
"Wanwan?" " Lu Tingchen's voice suddenly came from behind. It was obvious that he had received an alert from security about an abnormal email and rushed back immediately.
Seeing Su Wanwan's deathly pale face and the mobile phone that had fallen to the ground, he instantly understood something. He quickly stepped forward, picked up his mobile phone, and swiftly scanned the content on the screen. His face instantly turned ashen.
"Bastard!" " He let out a low spell and forcefully threw the phone onto the sofa (the force was controlled to prevent it from breaking), then tightly held Su Wanwan, who was trembling all over, in his arms.
How could he... How could he..." Su Wanwan buried herself in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably, and her tears quickly soaked his shirt. That's her father! The father she once loved and missed! This truth was far more cruel and ugly than she had imagined.
Lu Tingchen held her tightly, his chin taut, and his eyes were filled with a terrifying storm. He gently patted her back, his voice suppressing the overwhelming rage: "It's okay, it's okay..." It's all over... I will make everyone involved in this matter pay the price.
His anger at this moment was not only due to his father-in-law's detestable nature, but also because of the cruel harm this truth had inflicted on his wife.
Just then, Qin Hao's call came in.
Lu Tingchen picked it up and turned on the speakerphone so that Su Wanwan could hear it as well.
"Mr. Lu, I've found it." The main person in charge and chief scientist of "New Life" back then was named Yang Zhenhua. But he left the country after the project went wrong. It is said that he joined the core research institution under the P.P. Foundation. More importantly..." Qin Hao paused for a moment, his voice carrying a hint of strangness. "We have traced that Yang Zhenhua has an illegitimate daughter who has been in China all along." You might know her..."
"Who?" " Lu Tingchen's voice was cold.
"Zhao Jing."
This name is like a bolt of lightning, splitting through the thick fog!
Zhao Jing! The eldest daughter of the Zhao family who has been constantly pestering Lu Tingchen and repeatedly targeting Su Wanwan! She turns out to be the daughter of a key scientist! So her hostility towards Su Wanwan was not merely due to the jealousy of not getting what she wanted, but more likely because she knew something to some extent, or even acted on orders!
All the clues seemed to be connected at this moment.
Su Wanwan also stopped crying and raised her head from Lu Tingchen's arms, her eyes filled with shock and sudden realization.
It turns out that the entanglements of grudges and grievances were sown as early as the days of our parents' generation! Behind Zhao Jing's persecution of her, there might be a deeper instruction from the P.P. Foundation, which was to cover up the illegal experiments and murders of that time!
Lu Tingchen's eyes became extremely dangerous. He coldly said into the phone, "Keep a close eye on Zhao Jing and all her interpersonal interactions." "Yang Zhenhua, at all costs, dig it out for me!" "
After hanging up the phone, he lowered his head to look at Su Wanwan in his arms, whose tears were still wet, and gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips.
"The truth is cruel," he said in a deep and firm voice, "but I will face it with you." "I won't let go of anyone who has hurt your mother-in-law or you." "
His words carried a bloody promise, yet they gave Su Wanwan unprecedented strength.
After sadness and anger, a cold determination took root in her heart.
She looked out of the window, her gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, falling upon the man she had called "Dad" for over twenty years.
"Tingchen," she said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of fatigue but was unusually clear, "Help me arrange it. I want to go..." Look at him."
She has to face the man who gave her life but also indirectly ruined her mother's life. She wanted to ask him in person why.
Lu Tingchen gazed at her, seeing the shattering in her eyes as well as the tenacity that grew after the shattering.
"Ok." " He nodded. "I'll go with you."
The plan to lure the snake out of its hole is still ongoing, but an unexpected discovery has exposed one of the largest "snakes" to the sunlight. And the flame of revenge, under the nourishment of the truth, burns even more fiercely.
