Chapter 240, Old Appointment
Jiang Yize, Si Nian, Tu Su... What kind of past is hidden between these people?
The girl closed her eyes tiredly and murmured, "I hope to see you tomorrow and get the answer."
…
This was the first time since the end of the world that Huo Lingyin stayed overnight in the Huo family compound. It was a rare quiet night, and she had a good sleep.
Huo Lingyin slept well and was in a good mood. She heard from Pei Xiao that Luo Yuting had taken Luo Rui away. Huo Lingyin just expressed her concern casually and then didn't bother to care.
Huo Sichan asked a few more questions, and finally nodded, telling Xie Chengzhi to handle it himself.
Halfway through breakfast, the servant came over to say that Deputy Captain Huo Heng had arrived, and brought the captains of the second and fifth teams with him.
"I guess the news has spread." Huo Lingyin put down his chopsticks and sneered, "You came to visit so early in the morning, you look really scared."
The second and fifth teams have always been neutral teams, wavering between the two and trying not to offend either side. They usually think twice before carrying out tasks, but now they are so proactive and active in visiting... hehe.
Huo Sichan put down his chopsticks at the same time as her. He glanced at his sister and said meaningfully, "You can go to the hospital now."
Huo Lingyin had exactly this in mind.
She stood up and called Huo Heng: "Let's go to the hospital and see how my uncle is doing."
Before she left the living room, the servant came in again: "Master, Professor Si who was here yesterday is here again. I brought him into the conference room."
The old servant has been with the Huo family for many years and knows how to treat different guests.
Huo Sichan was very satisfied with his arrangement: "Uncle Ning, please take me to the meeting room."
Those two captains are not important and can be left in the living room to air out for now. Professor Si has a bad temper and cannot be neglected.
Hearing his order, the old servant was startled and subconsciously looked at Huo Lingge - this job was usually done by the Third Young Lady, why was it that today...
Huo Lingge immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Ning, you go and do your work. I'll do it."
"Uncle Ning." Huo Sichan's voice was cold, "Can't you hear my orders?"
The eldest young master of the Huo family has a good temper and doesn't get angry easily, but once he gets angry, it's not something that ordinary people can bear.
Uncle Ning knew his temper well, so he didn't say much and immediately came over to push him out.
Huo Lingge stopped at the table, pursed her lips and looked in the direction the two people left, looking aggrieved.
Observing the interaction between the two, a strange thought popped up in Huo Lingyin's mind - could it be that Huo Lingge stayed in the Huo family just for her half-dead brother?!
The more the girl thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. She couldn't help but ask the man she was traveling with: "Did Huo Lingge come to see you after you came back?"
Huo Heng said coldly: "I've been busy since I came back."
In other words, the two have not communicated yet.
"Could it be... that she really doesn't like you?" Huo Linyin was immersed in her own speculation and didn't notice that Huo Heng's face suddenly turned pale after hearing this.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Ran knocked on the door of Tu Su's apartment.
The man seemed to have just woken up, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were a little confused. When he saw her, he blinked and came back to his senses after a while.
"You're here."
The tone was cold, contrary to the expression.
"Come in and sit down."
Then he left the guest behind and went back to his room.
Jiang Ran didn't feel embarrassed about being ignored and sat down on the sofa obediently.
The bloodstains on the carpet have been cleaned up so quickly, which shows Mr. Tu Su's status in the base.
When the man came out again, he had changed into his usual long gown and put on a pair of glasses, looking like a teacher in ancient times.
Before Jiang Ran opened her mouth, he had already brewed a cup of tea and pushed it to her: "Wake-up tea."
"Oh." Jiang Ran picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Sir, you seem to need this more now."
Tu Su nodded: "I brewed it for myself, and I made a cup for you by the way."
“…”Oh, it turned out to be just by the way.
After a cup of tea, the man's misty eyes became completely clear.
He placed a file bag beside the sofa on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Jiang Ran. "This is some information I compiled yesterday about the Xiling Laboratory and the test subjects. Take it home and read it yourself. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
After they parted at the hospital, did he come back and sort out the information overnight?
Jiang Ran was flattered: "Thank you, sir."
I don’t know if there will be any relevant information about Si Xu in these materials.
As she stared at the file bag, Tu Su's gaze stayed on her for a long time.
It has grown so big.
The little girl who would hug his legs and call him brother had grown into a graceful young lady when they met again.
I am old too.
He lowered his eyes, trying to distance himself from the memories of the past: "If you have any questions, you can ask me now."
Jiang Ran was waiting for this permission, so she immediately asked, "Sir, do you know Si Nian?"
Hearing the name again, the man still made no secret of his disgust: "That woman... is not a good person. If you see her, remember to stay away from her."
"If she wasn't a good person, why would Father let Mother give her the information?" Jiang Ran was puzzled. "I thought she was Father's partner."
Partner? The man let out a mocking laugh: "Not a partner, she's your enemy."
Enemy...? Could it be...
Jiang Ran opened her mouth and almost blurted out a guess, but after seeing the man's deep eyes, she couldn't say it.
"I know what you're thinking—I can tell you, you're right." Recalling the days of homelessness, the last trace of tenderness in the young man's eyes faded, leaving only hatred. "The original purpose of establishing Xiling Laboratory was to study viruses and try to use them to treat difficult and complicated diseases that were insurmountable to medicine at the time. Your father was already famous at a young age, and Shen Lang used this as an excuse to invite your father to Xiling Laboratory."
So, when Jiang Yize first arrived at the laboratory, he had no idea about the specific work content of the laboratory?
"Later, the experiment didn't progress, and a number of test subjects died. Only then did your father realize something was amiss. Unfortunately, by then, he had no way out. He could only... move forward."
"Grandpa said that my father was an accident..."
"Accident?" Tu Su sneered, not dodging the question like he did last night. "Professor Jiang had collected all the information related to the lab and was about to report it to the relevant authorities when an explosion occurred in the lab... So many staff members, and only Professor Jiang died—an accident? Do you believe it?"
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, then asked, "What does this have to do with Si Nian? Could it be that she was responsible for the explosion?"
"no."
That woman is very noble. Although she has evil intentions, she will not be willing to lower her status to cooperate with the Shen family.
"The person who revealed your father's news to Shen Lang was her - she and your father were college classmates, and later became colleagues at work. Your father trusted her and did not hide many things from her."
Si Nian informed the Shen family?
"What does she want?" Since he is such an important partner, why would she inform on him?
As if finding it ridiculous, the man slowly pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "She is just a poor creature who can't get the love she wants, a fool whose brain has been eroded by jealousy."
