Chapter 248 White Dove Plan
Lu Heng quickly received the news that Meng Anran had returned safely to the cabin in the woods, and immediately sent a helicopter to bring her back to the country.
Lin Rencheng's physical condition is still very poor, and Meng Anran is worried about leaving him here.
Lu Heng seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and all twenty bodyguards stayed behind to protect Lin Rencheng. Only then was she willing to board the helicopter.
"Doctor John, I'll leave Lawyer Lin in your care." Meng Anran said goodbye to John and glanced worriedly at Lin Rencheng who was still unconscious lying on the bed.
"I will do my duty and make him wake up as soon as possible." John promised. This was what he should do as a doctor.
Meng Anran slowly withdrew his gaze, sighed, and boarded the helicopter first. Qin Mu and Meng Chenghong followed closely behind, and the three of them returned home first.
The roar of the helicopter propellers echoed in the forest, and the airflow blew away the surrounding fallen leaves.
Clouds rolled under her feet, sunlight penetrated the porthole, Meng Anran looked out the window, and her lifeless face was reflected in the window.
Sensing her uneasiness, Qin Mu gently held her hand and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, Lin Lu will be fine."
Meng Anran glanced at him calmly and shook her head. "I'm not thinking about that. I just feel that the more I dig deeper into this matter, the more I feel that I've been manipulated since I was born. I don't even know if every step I take now is within someone's plan."
I used to think that I was the chess player, but now I suddenly realize that I might just be any insignificant chess piece on the chessboard.
The helicopter landed on the top floor of Hengyi Group, and the roar of the propellers gradually subsided.
Meng Anran stepped out of the cabin. The cold wind blew her long hair. She looked at the familiar city, but there was a coldness in her eyes.
"An Ran." A low voice came from behind.
She turned around and saw Lu Heng walking towards her with his long legs. As always, he had that expression that made it hard to tell whether he was happy or sad, but she could read a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Lu Heng stopped two steps in front of her, his deep eyes showing an even brighter smile. "Welcome back."
Meng Anran put away her chaotic thoughts, curled her red lips and acted as calm as usual, "What an honor, to be greeted by President Lu in person."
Lu Heng lowered his eyes, turned the bracelet on his wrist, and said thoughtfully: "I helped you with such a big favor, shouldn't I give you some thanks?"
Meng Anran raised her hands and stared at him with interest. "Mr. Lu, you should have everything you need, right? What thank-you gift would you like?"
"Please treat me to a meal."
"You can go to Yandu Hotel anytime, just put it on my account."
"What I want is for you to have dinner with me." Lu Heng's eyes deepened, and Meng Anran knew that this was an unquestionable request.
Before, she might have ignored Lu Heng's request. But now that Lin Rencheng was still recovering from his injuries on Lu Heng's territory, she had lost the right to refuse.
She glanced at her watch and said, "I'll go back and take a shower first. See you at Yandu Hotel at 7pm."
"Okay." Lu Heng raised the corner of his lips slightly, then stepped aside to make way for Meng Anran.
Qin Mu and Meng Chenghong stood at the elevator entrance waiting for Meng Anran. She walked over quickly and left together.
After entering the elevator, Qin Mu took a step closer to her and held her hand. "What are your plans next? Are you going to tell Lu Heng about this tonight?"
"He must have known about it." Meng Anran sighed secretly, "After all, the bodyguards who followed me into the Art Museum were all his people. It's impossible for him not to know what I found."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Qin Mu said, pulling out the small square box with a white dove printed on it from his pocket. "There's white turmeric and a mysterious K hidden behind it. Are you going to tell him?"
After all, Bai Yujin is Lu Heng's biological mother. Even if Lu Heng hates the Lu family, he only wants to bring down the Lu family and has never attacked Bai Yujin.
If Lu Heng knew that Bai Yujin was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes, he might become a major obstacle for Meng Anran in finding out the truth.
Meng Anran took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as a knife, "It depends on the situation. Let's test the waters tonight."
…
7pm, Yandu Hotel Restaurant.
The crystal chandelier reflected tiny rays of light in front of Meng Anran's eyes. She stirred the coffee gently, her eyes fixed on Lu Heng's wrist opposite her.
The dark red amber bracelet seems to gradually become more gorgeous under the light.
"Was there an assassination attempt in Country A?" Lu Heng was cutting steak, his tone as casual as if he was chatting about the weather, and there was also a hint of asking a question even though he knew the answer.
Meng Anran smiled, "Your bodyguard should have told you everything you should and shouldn't know, right? Why are you acting like that?"
"Even twenty bodyguards can't stop you from taking risks." Lu Heng put down his knife and fork, his eyes suddenly sharp. "For Lin Rencheng, is it worth it?"
"It's not for him." She looked back, "It's for the secret he paid for with his life."
Lu Heng's eyes darkened, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Secret? About what? Your life experience? Or Lu Pharmaceuticals?"
A cold light flashed in Meng Anran's eyes, and the fake smile disappeared completely. "It seems you know some inside information."
Lu Heng loosened his grip, removed the bracelet from his wrist, hooked it in his palm, and slowly rotated and rubbed it. "Lu Pharmaceuticals went bankrupt very suddenly, and the specific reason for the bankruptcy has been completely blocked. I only heard a rumor that they were investigated for developing banned drugs."
He was familiar with the Lu family's business at the time. Lu's Pharmaceutical was managed by his uncle Bai Yuanshan. He had been there several times and had not found any clues. It was operating normally.
Plus, since his uncle was watching him, he rarely went there.
Who knew that it would close down not long after. I asked Bai Yuanshan many times, but he never said a word about the reason for the bankruptcy.
Later, he overheard a conversation between Bai Yuanshan and Bai Yujin, in which they mentioned something called "medicine". He guessed that the medicine they were developing had problems and was therefore sealed off.
Meng Anran was silent for a moment, then asked carefully, "Did you know that Lu's Pharmaceuticals has a basement?"
"I found out yesterday." Lu Heng took a sip of his red wine, seeming a little melancholy. "Lin Rencheng went to Lu's Pharmaceuticals yesterday and bought the next flight to Country A. I guess he discovered something there, so he sent people to search everywhere and found the basement."
The basement was full of chemical instruments, but no valuable information was found. They must have been taken away by Lin Rencheng.
However, some fragments of data that were not completely burned were found.
The words "White Dove Plan" can be vaguely seen on it.
"White dove..." Meng Anran murmured and fell into deep thought, remembering the small square box that Lin Rencheng gave her.
So, he discovered the White Dove Project and the silver coin in the basement, and flew to the Art Museum in Country A to investigate.
Finally, after seeing the records of human experiments on two illegal drugs, he took such a great risk and rushed to the Situ family castle to pass the news to her.
It seems that there is a lot of water behind this matter, and perhaps Bai Yujin is not the only one behind it.
