When the two chairmen, who commanded the respect of the entire audience, came before her, Chu Liyue's expression turned cold, and she didn't even bother to get up and greet them.
She remained seated with her legs crossed and one arm around Xiao Wujie, her posture elegant and aloof. Her opening question was:
"This trip was a private one. How did the two chairmen know I was here and were able to make such a precise visit?"
Upon hearing this, the aged-looking Qian Shan silently turned his gaze to Aisie Hall beside him, a single glance conveying his stance.
With a faint, almost imperceptible curve to her lips painted with dark lipstick, Aisie Hall spoke in a high-pitched, low-key voice:
"Hehe, in order to gather more members to participate in this seminar, I secretly investigated the whereabouts of the members in this area."
"I didn't expect it to cause trouble for Miss Chu. It was my oversight."
Chu Liyue's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she coldly asked, "My fiancé isn't a member of the organization, yet he also received an invitation. What does that mean?"
Meeting Chu Liyue's icy gaze, Aisie Hall showed no sign of panic. Instead, he looked at Chu Liyue with a smile in his eyes and spoke in a low, magnetic voice:
"Shall we sit down and talk this over?"
Chu Liyue remained unfazed and said indifferently, "Please make yourselves at home, both chairpersons."
With her slightly pale hands lifting the hem of her magnificent and wide skirt, Aisie Hall gracefully took her seat. She picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then met Chu Liyue's cold gaze.
With a strange and mysterious smile on her face, she spoke slowly and deliberately:
"It was just a coincidence that I discovered Miss Chu's whereabouts, but I had planned to invite Miss Chu's fiancé for a chat for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liyue's eyes instantly turned icy and dark, her aura becoming terrifyingly low. She stared directly at Aisie Hall before her, her voice cold and devoid of warmth:
Explain clearly.
Aisie Hall remained remarkably calm and composed as she answered:
"Miss Chu has two forgetting reagents in her possession, so she should know that there are three forgetting reagents in total."
"Before reagent No. 2 and reagent No. 3, there was also research on reagent No. 1."
"Reagent No. 1 was originally intended to be a slow-acting viral weapon. Because it was too heinous, it was completely destroyed after discussion, leaving only one sample, which I kept in custody."
"But this sample disappeared many years ago. After investigation, I suspect that the reagent was injected into Miss Chu's fiancé."
As soon as she finished speaking, the air fell silent, and the surrounding pressure dropped to an almost suffocating level. Only Chu Liyue, with her extremely cold gaze, and the effeminate and unpredictable Aisie Hall stared at each other silently.
After a long silence, Chu Liyue's extremely sharp aura suddenly dissipated, and a dangerous glint flashed in her cold eyes as she spoke, word by word:
"Chairman Aisie Hall, isn't this a self-admission?"
Aisie Hall chuckled calmly, "I do bear undeniable responsibility for the loss of reagent sample number one, and it's understandable that Miss Chu is dissatisfied."
"But all of this is just speculation at the moment, so today I just want to verify it."
Chu Liyue looked directly into her eyes and said coldly, "I wonder how Chairman Aisie Hall intends to verify this?"
Aisie Hall glanced at Qian Shan sitting opposite him and replied, "Chairman Qian Shan is one of the developers of Reagent No. 1."
"Just ask him to collect a blood sample from Miss Chu's fiancé, take it back and test it, and we'll know."
After a long silence, Chu Liyue said calmly, "Alright, if the test results come out, I would appreciate it if Chairman Qianshan could also give me a copy."
As she spoke, she pulled Xiao Wujie's arm over and gently untied his shirt cuffs, rolling up his sleeves to reveal a section of his fair and smooth arm.
At the same time, he didn't forget to coax her gently:
"Sweetie, let's draw a little blood. It won't hurt. I'll be with you."
With a slight tremor of his long eyelashes, Xiao Wujie nodded obediently and innocently.
Then, with practiced ease, he lightly bit his lower lip and buried his face in Chu Liyue's arms. Coupled with his pale, haggard, and sickly handsome face, he looked extremely pitiful.
A servant in black emerged from behind Qian Shan, holding a needle and a vacuum tube, and approached Xiao Wujie.
After applying iodine disinfectant to a vein on Xiao Wujie's pale forearm, just as he was about to insert the needle, Qian Shan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:
"Be gentle, don't hurt him."
The waiter in black was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and after a few seconds, he nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Even Chu Liyue and Aisie Hall, who were standing to the side, gave him strange looks. Qian Shan seemed oblivious to their gazes, leaning on his cane with both hands, his eyes lowered, and he remained silent.
"Hmm..."
The moment the needle pierced his vein, Xiao Wujie, his face buried in Chu Liyue's arms, still let out a soft hum.
Looking up at Chu Liyue, her eyes trembled with tears, a misty haze filling her vision.
If he were alone, he might not even be able to feel this pain.
But whenever his sister is by his side, he feels so much pain.
Knowing his hidden thoughts, Chu Liyue heard him let out a soft hum, but still gently stroked his head without hesitation, coaxing him softly:
"It's okay, sweetie, it'll be over soon."
Chu Liyue was happy to hear him cry out in pain. Usually, it wasn't a big problem when he cried out in pain in front of her. On the contrary, it was when he didn't cry out in pain that she was really worried.
After the blood draw, Aisie Hall seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation. She smiled slightly and spoke in a soft, feminine voice:
"Then we'll leave you here, Miss Chu. We'll notify you of the test results as they become available."
"If there are indeed traces of Reagent No. 1 in Miss Chu's fiancé's body, the organization will investigate thoroughly and will also assist Miss Chu in removing Reagent No. 1 from her fiancé's body."
After saying that, he and Qianshan stood up at the same time, nodded slightly, and then turned to leave.
