Chapter 417 The Past Twenty Years
Zhong Yi received the message from Fu Juechuan asking for a meeting, and went to the agreed place to meet that night.
Fu Juechuan took off his disguise. He was no longer Anson's identity, nor was he Fu Juechuan's original appearance. Instead, he was a stranger who seemed to have no sense of existence.
She walked to the door and knocked. Someone inside opened the door and revealed a strange face.
Zhong Yi was a little hesitant.
"Mother, it's me." Fu Juechuan returned to his original voice, looked at her, and said in a deep voice.
Zhong Yi immediately identified him.
She took a closer look, but the look didn't look familiar at all. Zhong Yi was satisfied instead, "Not bad, your disguise is very good. From now on, you don't have to call me mother. Call me Dr. Zhong."
She didn't explain too much, but just kept reminding Xiao Luxing to maintain his identity and safety through details.
"Yeah." Fu Juechuan no longer doubted Zhong Yi's sincerity towards him. He once looked for evidence from the details that his mother loved him, but he found that any detail, if magnified, could be interpreted as not loving him.
But now, after learning from Zheng's mother what Zhong Yi had gone through in the past twenty years, Fu Juechuan no longer wanted to prove whether his mother loved him or not. He just felt sorry for his mother.
"Doctor, don't worry about the cooperation."
"Look who this is." Fu Juechuan took her into the room, where Zheng's mother lay unconscious.
Zhong Yi frowned when he saw Zheng's mother, "Why did you bring her here?"
Zheng's mother insisted on seeing her, and Zhong Yi naturally knew that she didn't want to see her because she knew that she only wanted to discuss business with her. She said she wanted to do business, but in fact she just wanted her to directly prescribe the medicine so that Zheng's mother could make a profit.
How is this any different from asking her for money?
No matter how close Zhong Yi was to Zheng's mother, he would not help.
Not to mention that this time Zheng's father planted a spy in her laboratory and stole the e-reagent drug, which made Zhong Yi completely break with the Zheng family.
She just didn't say it directly, so Zheng's mother actually thought that she didn't care about the potion being stolen at all?
Zhong Yi didn't know for a moment whether he should say that Zheng's mother was thick-skinned or reflect on his own lack of firmness in his attitude.
"I just arrived today and wanted to see you. I happened to see her throwing a tantrum at the door and failing. She muttered to herself that she wanted to take revenge on you, so I arrested her and interrogated her directly."
Zhong Yi laughed angrily when he heard this, "Revenge me?"
"What happened to the Zheng family has nothing to do with me. They brought it upon themselves. Even if Zheng's father has removed the equipment and declared him dead because he has no money to renew the fee, it has nothing to do with me." Zhong Yi said coldly.
Fu Juechuan raised his eyes and looked at her, "There is a certain relationship."
"What?" Zhong Yi was puzzled.
Fu Juechuan said in a deep voice, "They are your enemies who harmed you."
"Now that one of your enemies is dead, you have achieved half of your revenge."
"Enemy?" Zhong Yi's voice was a little hesitant, "Father Zheng and Mother Zheng are my enemies?"
She was a smart person, and she immediately heard from Fu Juechuan's voice something she didn't know, something about the Zheng family.
"That's right." Fu Juechuan said in a deep voice, "You should know that 20 years ago, you returned from a mission abroad, and then an accident happened on the night you returned. You disappeared in a burning ship."
"At that time, everyone thought you had died, so Second Uncle adopted Zheng Shi and thought about you."
"I thought you were dead since I was a child."
"If I hadn't found some old things of yours in Wang Xiaoxia's hands a few years ago that suggested you were still alive, my father and I might have believed you were dead for the rest of our lives."
"According to our investigation, you have spent most of your time in the laboratory over the years, and have had private dealings with the Zheng family."
"Is that so?" Fu Juechuan himself also had many questions that he wanted to clarify.
Zhong Yi raised her eyes to look at him twice, and said calmly, "As far as I can remember, there was no such accident 20 years ago. I just stayed abroad for my career."
"There's something wrong with your memory." Fu Juechuan said firmly.
Zhong Yi did not refute his words, but only said, "What else do you know? Let me hear it again."
"Yeah." Fu Juechuan also knew that Zhong Yi had memory problems.
"In fact, my father and I arranged for someone to interrogate Zheng Shi and Zheng's mother a month ago, and learned the truth from them about what happened 20 years ago."
"You were carrying out your mission abroad smoothly, but you were betrayed by the Zheng family, which exposed your whereabouts and made you the target of the forces of Country M. They have been hunting you down and trying to take away your precious research data, which involves physical chemistry and could have helped China back then."
"That's why you took Zheng Shi away to escape from the Zheng family."
"As a result, as soon as you returned to China, you were found by the people who were chasing you. They directly fabricated a ship explosion at the seaside to make you disappear from the public eye. As a result, you were unable to leave any information."
"My second uncle didn't understand what was going on. He thought Zheng Shi was a poor child you saved, and he blamed himself for not being able to save you, so he offered to adopt Zheng Shi. He has been adopting her for twenty years."
Fu Juechuan's words were like thunderbolts, hitting Zhong Yi's head. She felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Fu Juechuan reached out to help her worriedly, but Zhong Yi waved her hand to refuse.
This incident really hit her hard.
After all, for so many years, she always thought that the Zheng family was somewhat sincere towards her.
"You ask her." Fu Juechuan pointed at Zheng's mother who was slowly waking up on the bed.
When Zheng's mother woke up and saw Fu Juechuan in disguise, fear flashed in her eyes and her body kept backing away.
She stared at Fu Juechuan, her voice hurried and frightened, "Who are you? I've told you everything I know, you can't hurt me!"
"Liu Rong." Zhong Yi called her out of the blue.
Mother Zheng saw Zhong Yi at this moment. She was startled at first, then, as if she had realized what was happening, she stared at her angrily, "Zhong Yi, you arranged for someone to interrogate me, right?"
"You already know what the Zheng family did to you, right?"
Zheng's mother was both angry and furious, as if the fear she had experienced before could finally be vented in front of an acquaintance.
She gritted her teeth, "What on earth do you want to ask!"
"I have told you everything I know. You can't just restrict my freedom!"
Zhong Yi didn't care about her accusation. He just stared at her and asked, "Tell me now, what did the Zheng family do to me twenty years ago?"
"...Don't you already know? Why are you still asking?" Zheng's mother was puzzled.
The disguised Fu Juechuan reached directly for his waist.
When Zheng's mother saw this, she shuddered all over and lowered her head as if in response to stress, not daring to hide it anymore. "More than 20 years ago, my family and I had just immigrated from China and our careers were just starting, and that's when I met you."
"At that time, you were still a student sponsored by the government to study abroad. Seeing that you were well-educated, Lao Zheng took the initiative to make friends with you. We invited you to live in our home many times on the grounds that compatriots abroad should help each other."
"You were probably going to return to your country during that time, and you agreed when you were facing a shortage of funds."
"Maybe it's because we're so close, I accidentally noticed that your whereabouts are a little strange, and you don't allow people to touch the luggage in the room..."
Speaking of this, Zheng's mother was obviously a little guilty.
"Go on." Zhong Yi took a deep breath and was still able to maintain his sanity.
Mother Zheng trembled and said, "I was just curious... I asked my eldest daughter to go and watch secretly, and Old Zheng found out that you are actually a special talent that Country M is eyeing, and you are also a Chinese spy lurking abroad."
"Old Zheng was short of money at the time and knew there was a huge reward for reporting, so he..."
Mother Zheng avoided Zhong Yi's gaze and did not dare to meet hers.
"So, you reported me." Zhong Yi took a deep breath. Even though he had a cold temper, he was so angry at what Zheng's mother said that veins appeared on his forehead.
Fu Juechuan's face was even more gloomy beside him.
He stared at Zheng's mother, not knowing what she was thinking.
"…It was Old Zheng who wanted to report it. It has nothing to do with me. You also know that I have no control over him." Zheng's mother cried and shirked responsibility.
At this time, Zheng's father had already died, so it didn't matter what Zheng's mother said.
"And then, continue!" Zhong Yi clenched his fists and stared at Zheng's mother.
"...Then, you were discovered. Perhaps you were too smart. Before the people who arrested you came, you deliberately used Zheng Shi to create chaos and accidents, and successfully escaped and returned home."
"You also discovered what Lao Zheng and I did at that time."
"We originally thought that our Zheng family would be finished after you returned." Mother Zheng swallowed her saliva and felt lucky when she mentioned what happened back then. "We never thought that you would get into trouble and be taken away on the day you returned. What our Zheng family did was not exposed, and our daughter was even adopted by the Fu family."
"This was a pleasant surprise. Old Zheng asked me to pretend that I had never found my daughter and didn't get in touch with her until she was ten years old..."
Zhong Yi clenched his fists and said, "I have been with you guys abroad for almost twenty years."
Mother Zheng shuddered, "...Old Zheng and I actually thought that something had happened to you, and that you were thrown into the sea by the forces that were hunting you. But I didn't expect that three years after the incident, when Old Zheng went to a banquet, he heard about you from someone else..."
"So, after that, you contacted me on purpose, maintained a good relationship with me on purpose, and tried to make friends with me." Although Zhong Yi had no memory of what happened twenty years ago, he remembered clearly what happened abroad twenty years later.
From the time she knew the Zheng family, up to now, the Zheng family had not revealed too many calculations in front of her, at least before something happened.
As for the profit-seeking nature of Zheng's mother and others, she has never cared about anything that has nothing to do with her.
I didn't expect that there were so many hungry wolves lurking around me all these years.
"...That's true, but our friendship is real." Zheng's mother raised her head and stretched out her hand, wanting to beg for Zhong Yi's forgiveness.
Zhong Yi stepped back suddenly, avoiding her hand, the disgust in his eyes was almost impossible to conceal, and Zheng's mother's face turned pale in an instant.
"Ayi..."
"What else!" Zhong Yi asked through gritted teeth.
Mother Zheng moved her lips, but she found many things difficult to say.
She was very proud when she and Zheng's father did this.
"Old Zheng arranged for someone to be around you. I don't know how many people he arranged. I only know that every time you have something, Old Zheng will know."
