murder
The next day, Ye Lin got on Ji Jinyan's SMU, and Ji Jinyan was naturally on it too. The two of them went to the land in the west of the city together.
When Ye Lin and Ji Jinyan arrived, there were already many professionals surveying the geology on the site, including Gu Lian.
Ye Lin and Ji Jinyan also stepped forward to investigate. Ji Jinyan scanned the area. The soil wasn't as firm as normal ground; it was soft, as if it had been renovated. A closer sniff revealed a faint, odd odor, like burning feathers.
Gu Li'an was checking on the other side when he suddenly tripped and stumbled a few steps. Turning his head, he saw a relatively compacted patch of earth where Gu Li'an had tripped, with some brown-red dry marks on the ground.
"Hey, come and take a look." Gu Lian shouted at the two of them.
Ye Lin and Ji Jinyan came over to find the sound and looked at the marks on the ground. Ye Lin squatted down, picked up a little soil, and put it to her nose to smell it.
He stood up, his face slightly gloomy, "It's blood."
A man in a white coat came over and said, "The geological inspection report is out."
Gu Lian took the report and looked at it. He found that the content of a substance in this land was seriously exceeding the standard, which was sodium.
Lina is a banned substance, banned by the Quan State. Initially imported from abroad for medical use, it proved highly effective in stopping bleeding, relieving pain, and alleviating the deterioration of wound decay. Its effectiveness was so pronounced that it sparked a craze both domestically and internationally, earning it the nickname "miracle drug." Lina significantly alleviated the suffering of those suffering from incurable ailments, and its price subsequently skyrocketed, making it incredibly difficult to obtain.
But as time went on, the side effects of Lina began to become apparent. Those who took Lina developed a profound dependence on it, gradually damaging their nervous systems and causing sensory disturbances. Their need for Lina grew daily. Long-term users developed phantom nerve pains, where even the slightest touch felt like a thousand cuts. Only constant Lina use could alleviate their pain, and their obsession with Lina reached the point of obsession. Consuming Lina day and night, they gradually lost weight, the drug eroding their bodies until their death, their only hope of complete relief.
Suddenly, a global crisis erupted. There was no cure for leukemia, and those who took it suffered only one fate: death from the torment. It took many years to discover the source of leukemia: it was extracted from a plant, which people began to call "leukemia." Massive measures were implemented worldwide to eliminate leukemia, and after several years, its presence gradually decreased. Many people died during this crisis.
After that, the Quan State designated Li Na as a banned substance, prohibiting its circulation. However, once a poison has appeared, it's not easy to completely disappear. Some places abroad still secretly trade Li Na. Some countries extract substances from Li Na and dilute them hundreds of times for external use. It also has analgesic effects and is non-addictive. Therefore, some countries have strict control over Li Na and have established strict policies for its cultivation and importation.
However, the appearance of Li Na in the Quan State is completely prohibited, and any introduction, circulation, and use are not allowed, because if it is released, some illegal elements will inevitably collude. The Quan State is a world power, and if it is eroded by Li Na, it will be deeply rooted and endanger the entire Quan State.
"It's actually Li Na. I'm afraid this land is wasted. Tsk, this is a loss. We bought a piece of waste land." Gu Liyan said. It seems that he has not realized the seriousness of the matter yet.
Such a high sodium content can only be caused by someone deliberately and illegally breeding sodium.
"Call the police." Ye Lin said.
"Yeah." Ji Jinyan agreed.
"Hey, brother. Come to the land in the west of the city. There's been a murder."
Bai Zeyan arrived with the criminal police, took control of the scene and blocked the news. The land is now under the name of DY, and if the news gets out, it will affect DY and avoid alerting the enemy.
The rest of the matter was beyond Ye Lin and the others' control. Ji Jinyan said to Ye Lin, "Let's go. I'll take you back."
Ye Lin shook her head and refused, and Ji Jinyan did not insist any further.
Ye Lin left alone and came to an Internet cafe. She pressed down the baseball cap on her head, covered her face and walked in.
Jianye Real Estate's previous actions, such a rush to sell and their focus on the bid price, suggest they knew something and were so eager to sell without noticing the presence of chlorinated sodium. Chlorinated sodium is a highly dangerous substance that can be easily detected through testing. If Jianye had known about this, how could they have dared to bid for the land?
Ye Lin opened a separate computer room and hacked directly into the intranet of Jianye Real Estate, and found the purchase information of the land in the west of the city. The identity of the buyer was fake.
It seemed the clues were broken, and there was no useful information to be found from Jianye Real Estate. Ye Lin thought carefully about the renovated soil, the faint smell of burning, the things that Jianye didn't know about Li Na but wanted to bury, and then Ye Lin had a flash of inspiration and thought about the dried blood.
They had planted Li Na but they didn't find it at the scene. What kind of scene would the Jianye people be in?
Seeing the burned-out Lina and the bloodstains on the ground, Jianye realized someone had died and removed the bloodstained dirt and reclaimed the land, eager to quickly get rid of this hot potato of wasteland. It seemed that Jianye had nothing to do with the Lina cultivation and the murder. Jianye had simply taken over, having bought the land to cultivate Lina and then suffered a disaster.
Ye Lin guessed roughly 70% to 80% of the situation.
Ye Lin walked out of the Internet cafe and was about to leave when a voice called her from behind.
"God Ye." Ye Lin was stunned for a moment and stopped.
The man walked quickly to Ye Lin's side and said, "Ye Shen is really you."
Ye Lin smiled and said, "Cheng'en, long time no see."
Ye Lin and the man came to a coffee shop, and sitting opposite Ye Lin was a young-looking boy.
He had fair skin and big, round eyes, the look of a boy next door, probably only about eighteen or nineteen. His name was Su Chengen, and anyone looking at him would surely scream in surprise, for he was the captain of the KYK gaming team, the youngest captain in gaming history, and one of the most sought-after and sought-after gamers.
Su Chengen spoke nervously, "Ye Shen, where did you suddenly disappear two years ago? Everyone misses you so much. I saw your message in the world of "Yiyou Jianghu" and have been trying to contact you, but you haven't replied. Is it because I can't meet you today that you will never contact us again?"
The boy's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he looked very aggrieved. Ye Lin said calmly, "Cheng'en, I went abroad two years ago."
With Ye Lin's simple explanation, Su Chengen comforted himself.
"I see. No wonder we couldn't find you anywhere. Ye Shen, since you're back, let's compete together. Everyone will be happy to know you're back. You don't know that two years ago, someone approached us to sign a club. I'm pretty good now and have won many championships."
"Cheng'en, I'm sorry, I can't compete with you."
"Why, Ye Shen. Didn't we agree to stand together in the arena for everyone to see us? Have you forgotten the days when we teamed up and fought side by side?"
"I'm sorry, Cheng'en, I failed to keep my promise."
Tears welled up in Su Chengen's eyes, and he tried hard not to cry in front of Ye Lin.
"God Ye, we are all waiting for you. Why can't we be like before? We really miss you. It was you who taught me what a real game is. Now we have the opportunity to win honor together, but you want to quit early." Su Chengen couldn't understand. He felt it was a betrayal.
"I'm sorry, Cheng'en, you don't need me anymore. You can have your own world. Just focus on the competition. I'm leaving now."
Ye Lin stood up and left, "God Ye." Su Chengen shed tears.
This movement was noticed by the people nearby. Su Chengen wanted to chase Ye Lin, but was recognized.
"Is that Master Su? It's Su Chengen."
A group of people surrounded and blocked Su Chengen's way. Su Chengen couldn't catch up with Ye Lin. Looking at the people around him, he had to find a way to get away first.
As Ye Lin walked along, she realized she was no longer the same person she had been at Kyoto No. 1 Middle School. She had no pressure before, having already been recommended for university. High school had ample free time, allowing her to pursue her passions without any constraints. She gradually made friends, and everything seemed to be progressing well. She had assumed her life would be routine, but from the moment she received her acceptance letter from the International Elite Academy, everything had changed as she'd anticipated. In Gaoguo, Ye Lin saw many things she had never seen before.
Now Ye Lin can no longer do whatever she wants. She doesn't want to have too much contact with them and doesn't want to involve innocent people, so everything Ye Lin said before is her fault.
Ye Lin recalled the bizarre dream she had before, and the feeling of unease enveloped her heart again.
Xia Keyu met with Ye Lin on the pretext of work. "This is the final product based on your design. What do you think?"
Xia Keyu showed the finished product to Ye Lin and said, "Well, it's pretty good."
"If you're okay with it, then Xia Group will market this first batch of finished products and establish a separate brand. This brand is your creation, so why don't you choose the name for it?"
"It's up to you to decide."
"good."
"We'd like to launch other items under this brand in the future, and we hope you can participate in their design. Xia Group can sign a long-term contract with you. Rest assured that the creative direction of your designs is entirely yours, and we won't make any changes. This brand is essentially created for you."
"Okay." Ye Lin agreed.
Xia Keyu was naturally happy. "Are you really not considering coming to our Xia Corporation to be the chief designer? I can satisfy you with whatever share of the profits you want."
Ye Lin shook her head and refused, "No." She politely declined.
"And I hope that my identity as a designer for this brand can be kept completely confidential," Ye Lin added.
Xia Keyu smiled helplessly. "You really don't care about fame or fortune. Fine, Xia's respects your wishes. But if you have time, please go to the company and take a look. You can supervise the tour and see if there are any discrepancies with your ideas or any areas that need improvement."
"Yeah, okay."
A pleasant negotiation ended.
