Chapter 25: The ability to protect oneself
"Jin Yu, do you still remember your position?"
Jin Yu was slightly startled, then raised his head and met Xie Nancheng's eyes.
"It's not a secretary's job to gossip."
"Mr. Xie, I'm just thinking about you..."
"You just need to do your own job and stop interfering in my family affairs. I don't want to say it again."
"I understand, Mr. Xie, I'm sorry."
Jin Yu was scolded by Xie Nancheng again, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Jin Yu’s work ability is indeed good, so he rarely gets scolded by his boss in the group.
But since Mr. Xie got married, he married that woman.
Jin Yu felt differently. She always felt that the continuous scolding she had received these days was all because of Tu Ran.
Unconsciously, my resentment towards Tu Ran grew even deeper.
"You go out and let Xu Xin come."
Xie Nancheng's attitude was lukewarm.
After Jin Yu left, Xu Xin hurried in, "Mr. Xie."
"How's the investigation going for you?"
"The investigation is complete."
"Speak." Xie Nancheng put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the male assistant.
"The young lady did live with her grandfather since she was a child, but according to our investigation, Mr. Tu Wansheng never married. Without a wife, how could he have had children? Therefore, the young lady is not a descendant of the Tu family. She must have been picked up or abducted by human traffickers. This remains to be verified."
"Go on." Xie Nancheng supported his head with one hand and listened quietly.
"You've been to the Tu family's location. It's very remote, deep in the Phoenix Ridge."
"The nearest village is 10 kilometers away, so the villagers nearby are not familiar with their situation."
"I found a few people who often go to the mountains to collect herbs and herd cattle. They all said that Grandpa Tu can cure diseases and is very good at it."
"As for the Tu family's granddaughter, the villagers all said they had never seen her."
"It can't appear out of thin air, right?" Xie Nancheng was curious.
"That's impossible. I do have a suggestion. We can use the excuse of giving the young lady a physical exam to draw blood for testing and then store it in the national data network. If the young lady was trafficked, we can immediately find her family. Even if she wasn't trafficked, based on genetic matching, we should be able to know roughly where she's from. Big data is very accurate these days."
"I see. What about the dowry?"
"As for the dowry, it's even harder to say. There's no information at all. We'll have to investigate with the Lin family. According to the information you provided, there's a century-old ginseng, but the Lin family hasn't shown it yet, so it's hard to say where it's kept."
"What's the current situation of the Lin family company?"
"Not good. Lin Chen likes to take shortcuts and make quick money with high risks."
"He recently came into contact with a wealthy businessman from Southeast Asia who was involved in virtual currency."
"This thing is illegal in our country right now, but Lin Chen seems to be doing it on purpose."
"He's quite brave." Xie Nancheng smiled.
"Also, Mr. Xie, your aunt and uncle seem to be very wary of you recently after your eyes recovered."
"They started adding bodyguards to their children and installed tracking and surveillance systems in their cars and homes."
"They're a little panicked, afraid you'll find out what's going on and take revenge on them."
"After all, it almost left you permanently blind."
Xu Xin is someone Xie Nancheng trusts, so many private matters are left to him to investigate.
"Haha." Xie Nancheng looked out the window and sneered.
"Should we do something? They are your closest relatives and they are so cruel to you. Even I, your subordinate, cannot stand watching them."
"No, don't move yet."
"Let them be afraid, panic and scared."
"Let them live in this highly stressful way."
"Then, after a while, when they realized I wasn't doing anything, they relaxed their guard..."
"Give them another fatal blow?" Xu Xin immediately understood his boss's thoughts.
Xie Nancheng smiled but said nothing.
"Mr. Xie, you have some amazing psychological tactics."
Xu Xin felt scared just thinking about it, because he knew that his boss was a sinister and cunning person.
But how many people can keep calm and do this?
Who among the young people nowadays doesn’t take revenge on the spot when they have a grudge?
The boss was blinded in the murder, but after the investigation, no action was taken.
Xie Huaishan and Xie Huailan were both terrified and wished they could stay awake for 24 hours for fear of being retaliated against.
At this time, Xu Xin's cell phone rang. After reading the text message, his expression changed slightly.
"Mr. Xie, an emergency."
"What?"
"Xie Huailan just bribed Aunt Yang, the handyman at the old house, and gave her a package of something, asking her to find an opportunity to put it in the Chinese medicine that the young lady was making for the old lady. Xie Huailan is so vicious that she actually wanted to attack the old lady."
Xie Nancheng's expression also changed slightly.
He knew that Second Aunt would not really poison Grandma, but was just taking the opportunity to drive Tu Ran out of the Xie family.
"Is the young lady going to make medicine for the old lady recently?" Xu Xin didn't know what happened in the Xie family or the bet.
"Yeah." Xie Nancheng nodded.
"Then should we give it to Aunt Yang..."
"No need, just wait and see."
"If the young lady's medicine had been tampered with..."
"I've already told you, if she can't protect herself and I have to deal with everything, she might as well be eliminated early and worry less."
Of course, Xie Nancheng would not really let anything happen to his grandmother. He just wanted to see if Tu Ran would be alert.
Will you be careless during the cooking process of Chinese medicine?
As he said, if Tu Ran is careless and has no ability to protect himself, it is better not to keep him.
Knowing that Xie Huailan was her enemy, she still didn't guard against him. That was foolish of her to do.
Xie Nancheng didn't want to help. What he needed was a smart and self-protective wife.
She is not a little princess who needs him to step in and solve all the messes.

"Second Miss, everything is ready."
"She just came back. Once she starts cooking the Chinese medicine, I'll find a chance to put it in."
"Second Miss, if the old lady eats this, will there be any problem?" Aunt Yang's worried voice came from the other side.
"What are you talking about? The old lady is my biological mother."
"Yes, yes, I'm just worried that the old lady is old and nothing will happen to her."
"Of course not. Those are just some allergy-related things that mixed in and aggravated my mom's cough. They won't really cause any harm to my mom."
"I just hate that country boy, not my mother." Xie Huailan would certainly not poison her own mother.
She also hoped that the old lady would be partial when making the will for the sake of her grandson.
Now, she just wanted to use this incident to drive Tu Ran out of the Xie family.
Whether it was true or not, it was indeed because Tu Ran came that Xie Nancheng's eyesight recovered.
If we look at it from a superstitious point of view, this woman is really a blessing for Xie Nancheng, so she must not be kept.
Xie Family Old House
"Auntie Ping, can I use the kitchen to cook medicine?" After Tu Ran came back from shopping, he went straight into the kitchen.
"Young Madam, let me help you."
"No need, you all go out, I can do it myself." Tu Ran was in a good mood because he bought the pure herbal medicine he wanted and bought enough for three days at a time.
"Young Madam, let me help you light the fire and wash the casserole." Aunt Yang came in at some point and stood behind Tu Ran, her eyes flickering.
