Chapter 194: There can be no shadows under the light, the wrong enemy
In the operating room, the operation is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
In the VVIP waiting room, the conversation between mother and son continued.
In the crowded inspection channel outside, on the stretcher at the very end, the body burned by the high temperature cooled down quietly and left this scalding world.
Qian Huan frowned, his eyes were like torches. He looked directly at his mother, Li Hanyu, with a barely perceptible urgency in his voice:
"Mom, can you be more straightforward? What secrets are hidden in Prison No. 2? Since the company has decided to invest in the prison industry, isn't it because it sees the huge profits that this field can bring to the company in the future?"
Li Hanyu carefully considered each word, then gently extended her index finger and pointed to the ceiling. Her voice was low and powerful: "The company is indeed for the purpose of making profits, but don't forget that there is a larger structure above the company, the group. For your uncle, sitting in the position of general manager of the company, making money is important, but more importantly, completing the tasks assigned by the group."
Upon hearing this, Qian Huan blurted out in surprise: "But, the company was separated from the group two years ago, and I was the one who handled the financial separation myself."
Li Hanyu looked at his son's stunned expression and sighed inwardly, "My son is very capable, especially in business profit-making. Otherwise, I wouldn't have transferred him over at the critical moment when the [prison equity reform agreement] was about to expire. But, in other aspects, he is still very immature."
Li Hanyu didn't know where to start, and she wasn't even sure whether she should tell her son. The secrets behind this were too dangerous. She could only selectively pick and choose and hint, "What is the name of our company?"
Qian Huan answered without hesitation: "Tianguang Capital."
Li Hanyu then asked, "What about the group we belong to?"
Qian Huan answered again: "Guangming Group."
Li Hanyu then slowly said: "So, do you understand?"
Qian Huan was still confused, frowning and asked, "What do I understand?"
Li Hanyu felt helpless and could only speak more bluntly: "This means that as long as our company has not taken off the word 'light' above its head, we will never be able to completely break away from the control of the group, and we dare not, let alone hope to really break away."
Qian Huan frowned, thinking deeply about the deep meaning of his mother's words. He asked in confusion: "If that's the case, what's the point of the previous separation process?"
Li Hanyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. His voice was a little hoarse. "Son, you have to understand one thing. That is, the black and white words that can be placed on the table and reflected under the light for everyone to see are just black and white words on a piece of paper."
Li Hanyu paused, put down the teacup, and continued, "The real deal only happens under the table, where the light can never find it."
Qian Huan looked at his mother's intriguing expression and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. His face turned slightly pale and he said in a deep voice, "Since neither the company nor the group intends to split up, then why should we split up?"
Li Hanyu felt somewhat relieved that his son was very smart and understood something after just a little guidance.
Li Hanyu pointed to the glass wall of the operating room and said quietly, "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
Qian Huan looked in the direction his mother pointed. Behind the glass wall was a huge shadowless lamp hanging above the operating table. He replied with a shudder, "Because there can't be shadows under the light."
Li Hanyu showed a satisfied smile on his face, but his tone was full of solemnity:
"My dear son, you must remember that Prison No. 2 is not only related to our family, but also to the fate of our company and the life and death of everyone."
"The secrets hidden there, if we guard them properly, will be a talisman we seek from the light; but if they are leaked, we will become scapegoats, and the light will mercilessly push us out and burn us to ashes under the light."
"Therefore, you must take Prison No. 2 into your own hands as quickly, firmly, and at all costs."
Qian Huan wanted to ask more about what the secret of Prison No. 2 was, but Li Hanyu didn't seem to want to continue.
"Oh, the operation is over. Let's go to the ward and wait for your uncle." Li Hanyu ended the topic without giving his son a chance to speak again.
In the intensive care unit.
Qian Tong slowly woke up from anesthesia, opened his eyes and looked at Qian Huan who was guarding the bed, and forced a smile.
Qian Huan hurriedly asked, "Second Uncle, you're awake. How are you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Qian Tong took two deep breaths and said weakly, "No need, your uncle is not that delicate. But this time, it's all thanks to you for helping him modify the vehicle."
Qian Tong talked for a while, and finally said, "Okay, I'm fine, don't stay in the hospital, hurry back to the prison, you just landed there, there are a lot of things waiting for you to deal with, remember what your second uncle taught you before."
Qian Huan nodded and said solemnly: "The problem of personnel struggle is ultimately a human problem. If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person."
Qian Tong nodded in satisfaction, and said despite his tiredness: "Go and get busy, your mother will be here to watch over you."
After Qian Huan left and the ward door was closed again, Qian Tong looked at Li Hanyu and asked in a deep voice, "Sister, was this explosion an accident?"
Li Hanyu was slightly stunned, frowning, and asked in confusion: "Why, do you doubt that this is not an accident?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Hanyu had already turned on the TV and switched to the news channel.
On the screen, the male host was announcing in a sad tone: "According to the information we received from the Executive Yuan, the explosion on Qiming Street was caused by improper construction of underground pipelines, which led to a gas leak. The construction company has been immediately suspended for rectification, and the relevant person in charge has been temporarily detained, awaiting further interrogation."

Qian Tong stared at the news screen, his pale face shrouded in a haze, and his voice was hoarse: "There is a problem, things were defined too quickly, when did the Executive Yuan become so efficient?"
Li Hanyu's expression also became serious. She took out her cell phone and said, "I'll call the Executive Yuan right now and ask about the details."
A face appeared in Qian Tong's mind: "Councilman Wang Xinfa? That's fine. He is deeply involved in the affairs of Prison No. 2. He is half one of us. You can ask him."
The beeping sound of the phone echoed in the silent ward. After a long while, the signal that the call was connected came through.
After Li Hanyu dialed the phone, Qian Tong felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, as if he had done something stupid, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Well, yes, he just woke up. Thank you very much for your concern. Oh, okay, I'll trouble Councillor Wang then."
The call was brief and hurried. After Li Hanyu hung up, her expression became solemn. She turned to look at Qian Tong and said in a serious tone:
"Councilman Wang has been very busy these past few days, keeping an eye on the kidnapping of Hou Wendong. He also just learned about the explosion on Qiming Street, and feels that something is wrong, so he is trying to investigate. He told you to rest and recover, and not to worry too much."
Li Hanyu paused for a moment and then asked, "If it wasn't an accident, do you have any suspects?"
Qian Tong frowned and said gloomily, "I don't know, but the people in the prison system are the most suspicious. After all, they have always suspected that the death of the previous warden of the Second Prison from overwork was not an accident, but our doing. So, this accident may be a belated revenge."
Li Hanyu's heart sank, and he felt a chill in his heart: "They blew up half a street, killing and injuring hundreds of people, just to create an accident and kill you. Is it necessary to be so cruel?"
Qian Tong's voice became more hoarse: "Sister, you haven't dealt with the officials of the Executive Yuan enough. When these officials get really ruthless, human life is nothing more than a string of random numbers filled in on a report in their eyes."
"Warn Xiao Huan later that she must be extremely careful in the next six months and always be on guard against the people in the prison system. If they can do something to me, they may also do something to Xiao Huan."
Li Hanyu's fingers gripping the phone tightened involuntarily. Her face was solemn and serious, and she nodded slightly.
Qian Tong only thought for a while, and his head felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and the waves of pain made him unbearable. He felt exhausted, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Qian Tong didn't know that his previous inference was only correct in the first half, and the second half was completely wrong.
