Chapter 117 One Step Closer
The maid who was carrying a fruit plate upstairs saw Zhang Wan standing at the door of the study. She neither spoke nor went in, as if she was eavesdropping.
She was about to speak, "Husband——"
Zhang Guangzhi hung up the phone without noticing any movement outside. He opened the door of the study and went downstairs to go out.
In a nearby room with the door half-open, Zhang Wan covered the maid's mouth tightly to prevent her from making any sound.
When Zhang Guangzhi's footsteps disappeared, Zhang Wan whispered to the maid, "You didn't see anything today. I will give you some money and you can just leave the Zhang family. Do you hear me?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
But the moment Zhang Wan's strength loosened, the maid immediately pulled her hands away and opened her mouth to call for help.
“Bang!”
Zhang Wan realized something was wrong the moment the maid pulled her hands away. She immediately picked up a thick book and smashed it mercilessly on the maid's head, knocking her unconscious.
The maid fell to the ground with a loud noise, but fortunately Zhang Guangzhi had already walked out the door and didn't hear it.
Zhang Wan stood up and looked coldly at the unconscious maid on the ground, "She is so loyal..."
The Zhang family is now basically made up of Zhang Guangzhi's people, so it would be safer to find someone to get this maid away.
Zhang Wan picked up the book on the ground and breathed slightly.
A complicated look flashed across her eyes.
Just now she heard Zhang Guangzhi mention the child of the Yu family. Although Zhang Guangzhi did not dare to offend the Yu family casually, no one could guarantee what Zhang Guangzhi would do.

Lin Mei stayed in the sanatorium for two weeks, spending almost every day in fear, and her eyes gradually became empty, until one day Yu Chucheng came to her and told her that Zhang Hanzhou knew nothing and was still alive and well.
Lin Mei then moved and turned her head to look at Yu Chucheng, "What do you want to do?"
Yu Chucheng would definitely not be so kind as to come and tell her the news about Zhang Hanzhou.
really--
"You went to work as a maid in the Zhang family twenty-three years ago, right?"
The door was closed and they were the only two people in the room. Yu Chucheng sat on the sofa opposite her, with one leg propped up and his ankle was a little swollen.
"So what?"
In other words, the time that Lin Mei spent at the Zhang family basically spanned the entire process of Zhang Guangzhi and Zhang Wan, from their acquaintance to their marriage and then to childbirth.
Yu Chucheng: "I want to make a deal with you. You must be very clear about Zhang Wan's situation at the time, how Zhang Guangzhi treated her at the time, and whether he gave her any strange medicine? Tell me everything you know, and in return, I can help you remind Zhang Hanzhou."
After so many days, Yu Chucheng finally discovered that Lin Mei didn't care about anything except Zhang Hanzhou, and she would only have a big reaction when Zhang Hanzhou was mentioned.
"Really? Are you really willing to help me?" Lin Mei stood up suddenly and took a few steps towards Yu Chucheng.
"Yeah, but whether he listens or not is none of my business."
Lin Mei's eyes suddenly lit up.
She believed that even if Zhang Hanzhou didn't believe her, he would always believe what others said.
"But..." Lin Mei hesitated, "What if you lied to me and you didn't go to find him at all?"
Yu Chucheng said calmly: "I can't prove it. Believe it or not, this is not the only way for me to know this, but this should be your only chance, so are you sure you want to negotiate with me?"
Lin Mei clenched her fingers.
She suddenly realized that the young man in front of her was very similar to Duan Huaijin in some aspects.
"Okay, I believe you."
Lin Mei said that all she did at Zhang's house was cleaning the rooms, and she had access to almost every room.
The relationship between Zhang Guangzhi and Zhang Wan was not very good from the beginning. It was not like other couples at all. It was as if two unsuitable people were forced together by their parents.
Lin Mei originally thought that Zhang Guangzhi's love for Zhang Wan was one-sided, but then one day when she was cleaning Zhang Wan's room, she found the gender catalyst thrown in the trash can after the injection.
She was stunned at the time, and quickly ran out, pretending that she had not entered the room. Not long after she ran out, Zhang Guangzhi came back in a hurry and took the bag from the trash can away.
A few months later, Zhang Wan differentiated into an Omega, but seemed very unstable and needed to take inhibitors every day.
Yu Chucheng had only guessed before, but after listening to Lin Mei's story, he was completely certain that it was Zhang Guangzhi who used a gender catalyst on Zhang Wan, which led to the inconsistency of Zhang Wan's gender before and after.
"But there is actually not much difference between female Beta and female Omega. They both have reproductive capacity. Zhang Guangzhi tried to test me many times at that time. I was very scared of him and could only pretend that I knew nothing." After saying that, Lin Mei slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looking even more haggard.
Yu Chucheng was also confused. On the surface, it seemed unnecessary for Zhang Guangzhi to go to great lengths to turn Zhang Wan into an Omega. But what if Zhang Guangzhi was just doing an experiment on Zhang Wan, and Lin Mei just happened to see it happen once?
The more I think about it, the more serious it becomes.
Combined with what Chen Cheng said before, Zhang Guangzhi had the idea of continuing to produce catalysts, Yu Chucheng felt that he seemed to be one step closer to the truth.
Yu Chucheng came out of the room.
Two private detectives who had been waiting not far away showed up.
"Boss, what should we do with the driver we knocked out earlier? We hid him in our base, but he keeps yelling that he wants to go home, and it's really annoying." The young man said hastily, "How about we let him go? Anyway, he probably won't dare to stay in the country if he doesn't get his job done. I'll watch him get on the plane with my own eyes."
If they hadn't mentioned it, Yu Chucheng would have almost forgotten about this person.
"We can't let him go yet." Yu Chucheng thought for a moment and said, "Take Lin Mei with you. I'll reimburse you for the expenses of these two people, and I'll give you another 100,000 yuan tonight as a reward for your hard work."
Zhang Guangzhi is so cruel that maybe he was the one who secretly caused the car accident in the previous life. Yu Chucheng plans to collect evidence and send him to jail. Once all the charges are added up, he probably won't be able to get out in this lifetime.
I was surprised to hear that my wages would be reimbursed and there would also be compensation for my hard work.
"Okay boss."
"Slow down, boss."
As soon as he returned to the apartment, Yu Chucheng contacted his assistant Lin Qi and asked him to list all the companies and factories that the Zhang family had cooperated with over the years, regardless of size.
He sat at his desk and sorted out his thoughts when Duan Huaijin called him.
Yu Chucheng coughed lightly, trying his best to make his voice sound less heavy.
"What do you want to eat? I'm not working tonight, it's my turn off."
"Hmm..." Hearing Duan Huaijin's voice, Yu Chucheng calmed down. Duan Huaijin didn't have to go to work tonight, so wouldn't they be able to be alone for a long time?
Yu Chucheng thought for a moment and said, "I've never had the braised lion's head at the new restaurant next door. I want to try it."
"Okay, what else?"
Just as Yu Chucheng was about to speak, there were several knocks on the door.
"Wait a moment, I'll go open the door first." Yu Chucheng stood up with his cell phone in his hand.
He walked to the door, turned on the tablet connected to the surveillance camera at the door and took a look. There was no one in the corridor, but there was a delivery box on the ground.
Duan Huaijin's low voice came from the phone, "What's wrong?"
Yu Chucheng opened the door and said, "It's nothing. The courier must have made a mistake in delivering the package. I haven't bought anything online recently."
There are many residents in an apartment, so couriers and take-out food are often delivered to the wrong place. Usually, the real buyers are the neighbors in front, behind, or above or below.
Yu Chucheng turned the express box over and checked the order address on the package, thinking that if it was not far away, he could just throw it at the door.
But when he saw the recipient, he was stunned.
The recipient column on the order was not printed, but a few words were written in black ballpoint pen:
It means the end of the initial process.
