Chapter 168: The Canary in the Mansion Debuts...
"Do you know where your brother went?"
Shen Jiang looked sternly at the woman in the wheelchair in front of him, trying to find the answer he wanted from her face.
The nanny in the villa had been taken away by the soldiers who had come to protect them. At this moment, only Shen Jiang, Godwin, and Su Qing were left in the huge living room.
"You are trespassing."
Su Qing looked up at the person standing before her. Though her clothes were cheap and sloppy, her skin was rosy and plump, her legs steady and strong—things she couldn't buy with money. Looking at Shen Jiang, who looked down at her from above, Su Qing's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.
Why!
How could she, a poor girl without parents, be successful in both career and love, while she inexplicably turned from a favored girl into a disabled person!
Su Qing sneered at the woman with a hint of urgency in her eyes: "Why should I tell you? Get out of here!"
Chen Ming, the soldier who had kicked out the nanny and others, walked in and heard this. His face suddenly turned very ugly.
"Comrade, I urge you to cooperate, otherwise I'll have to ask you to go to the police station for questioning."
Although he felt very sympathetic towards this girl who was in a wheelchair at such a young age, the matter was of great importance and it was not the time to let her throw a tantrum.
After all, she is the sister of the major suspect.
Just a few hours ago, Chen Ming and his comrades had accompanied the young man and woman to Su Kang Pharmaceutical. Originally, they had strongly opposed their wandering around at this time. After all, if they had returned to base immediately, their protection mission would have ended, freeing them to carry out other important tasks.
But the woman, Shen Jiang, was adamant and insisted, "I have to go there no matter what. I don't need your protection. You can just go back to base now."
Considering that she was the granddaughter of Dr. Shen, who was a key figure who had successfully cured related cases, they could only accompany her reluctantly.
But at Su Kang Pharmaceutical, a situation arose that they had never expected.
I had thought Shen Jiang was just some whimsical, utter nonsense. Secret labs, virus development? How could that be possible? She'd come here to uncover the truth based solely on her cousin's words. It was like a child playing house—ridiculous nonsense.
But it was at Su Kang Pharmaceutical that they followed Shen Jiang and the young man who was always by her side, and they actually found an extremely hidden laboratory!
The security guards knew nothing about this area, only that no one was allowed in and that they couldn't get close to it during their regular patrols. The lab was spotless, clearly someone had always used it, but the equipment and personnel inside had all vanished, leaving it a deserted shell.
However, the electronic door lock outside the laboratory was not reliable. The man next to Shen Jiang kicked the door lock into pieces with one kick. If it were professionally trained soldiers like them, they would probably do the same.
If there really was a secret laboratory like her cousin had described, and it even had a certain air of being hidden from the public, even a fool would know there was something wrong with this place. The problem was, it had been cleared out.
Chen Ming looked at Shen Jiang, expecting to see disappointment on her face. However, she was far more composed than he had imagined and immediately began her meticulous search.
Chen Ming concluded that Shen Jiang's search method could be described as disorganized. He quickly divided the work with his comrades, and the two of them began to search the laboratory carefully, hoping to find any clues that someone had carelessly missed in this empty space.
However, Chen Ming and his comrades, who had undergone systematic training, found nothing, but Shen Jiang, who was wandering around like a headless fly, discovered something.
Shen Jiang: "Look, there's a drop of solidified stuff here."
Chen Ming walked over and searched back and forth twice. It was not until the third time that he saw a reflective object on the gray matte brick from a squatting angle. It was a round object condensed on it, probably formed by liquid dripping and drying.
Chen Ming: ...
She was able to find this, which only means she was lucky.
At this point, it was still unknown what this thing was, but since it was their only discovery, they naturally had to take it back and have someone test it, just in case.
I thought it was over and everyone should go back to the base, but Shen Jiang asked them to send this thing for testing because she had something else to do.
In this way, Chen Ming's comrades took their things back, and Chen Ming drove them to a wealthy area.
And these extremely conspicuous and gorgeous villas in the wealthy area are their destination.
Being threatened by the cold and rude man in front of her, Su Qing not only did not show any fear, but became excited instead. She actually laughed out loud: "Hahahahahaha."
Shen Jiang didn't want to figure out what was going on in this person's mind, she just wanted to get it over with quickly.
Got to go faster and faster.
The amount of musk she brought back was a drop in the bucket. Only by finding the male protagonist, Su Xingran, could she find a way to crack the virus. She didn't believe he had created such a big scene just to cause chaos in Nanze City.
Shen Jiang raised her hand to stop Chen Ming's intimidation: "Let me do it." Her expression softened a little when she looked at Su Qing.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You're not worthy of seeing me laugh at you. Get lost! Even if I can't walk anymore, so what? I have plenty of money, people who want to carry me, and people who want to serve me. As long as I have money, I have everything I want. Poor people like you can't even imagine how good the lives of rich people are!"
Su Qing looked at Shen Jiang provocatively. She felt extremely happy about the fact that she was the center of attention at the moment. The more she refused to cooperate, the more they had to flatter and coax her. Hahahaha, how could this not make people happy?
Godwin's fist hardened.
Shen Jiang's expression did not change, he just said one sentence, and Su Qing's face changed instantly.
"I once saw a case similar to yours in an ancient book. That patient was eventually cured."
Shen Jiang was very pleased with Su Qing's unpredictable expression. She continued to add more details, including the sudden onset of the disease and the symptoms at the time of the onset, which were particularly similar to Su Qing's. This made Su Qing unable to contain herself. After all, from her perspective, Shen Jiang had no idea what she was like when she was sick.
Su Qing looked at Shen Jiang eagerly: "What is the name of that ancient book? Can you really cure me?"
Shen Jiang shrugged: "That depends on whether you have the right fate."
Godwin looked at his believers in some surprise. This damn woman had once sowed discord among them and tried to destroy the relationship between him and his believers. Just now, this shameless woman had spoken rudely to the believers, and her words were full of malice.
And his followers actually responded to this hateful woman with a saintly heart???
Ahhh, why! He's going to get angry!
At this moment, Su Qing seemed to have grasped her only life-saving straw, and her eyes looking at Shen Jiang became urgent and passionate.
She had consulted the best specialists, both domestically and internationally, but none of them had a clue why she had suddenly become paralyzed. But Chinese medicine was different. She had personally witnessed Grandma Shen Jiang cure difficult illnesses, and she had heard countless stories from her teachers about miraculous doctors who cured illnesses with their own powerful medicines. If she hadn't seen and heard those stories firsthand, she would have thought them pure fantasy. Furthermore, she knew Shen Jiang; she was a serious practitioner, never one to joke about treatment.
Su Qing: "My brother had a fight with my parents over a poor woman, and a few days ago he ran away from home out of anger for love. His phone has been turned off these days, and no one can contact him."
Shen Jiang's mouth twitched.
This story seems familiar. There seem to be many similar plots in my previous dreams. The hero rebelled against his family for the heroine, but the heroine misunderstood him again and again, resulting in constant conflict between the two.
On the surface, this guy is in a relationship, but in fact he is doing shameful things behind the scenes.
Shen Jiang's voice became a little colder: "Where did you go? Tell me more specifically."
Su Qing opened her eyes wide and tried hard to recall.
A few days ago, she was dazed on the balcony when her brother's driver called. She happened to overhear him tell the person on the line that he was going on a business trip and wouldn't be back for a few days. The voice on the other end was so loud that she could still vaguely hear it even from a distance. Then she vaguely remembered that the driver seemed to mention the countryside, a doctorate...
Any more specific information?
Su Qing racked her brains to recall what she had heard at that time.
Suddenly, Su Qing's mind jumped, and she blurted out: "My brother should have gone to the ancestral home."
Shen Jiang frowned: "Should?"
Su Qing flatly denied: "It shouldn't be, my brother must be in the ancestral home!"
Shen Jiang: "Where is the ancestral home?"
Su Qing was gradually becoming wary. Facing Shen Jiang's repeated questioning, she suddenly became smart: "Treat me first, and then I'll tell you."
Shen Jiang: “…”
The Su family's ancestral home shouldn't be difficult to find. She could search online or, more directly, ask the government to help her find it. She would definitely know the answer.
Shen Jiang thought about it and felt that Su Qing's reaction obviously did not seem like a lie. After all, Su Qing wanted her brother to be there more than she did.
Shen Jiang suddenly smiled for the first time since arriving at this mansion. "You're not sincere, so let's cancel this deal."
"Okay, Godwin, let's go." Shen Jiang was the first to walk out of this magnificent house without hesitation.
Su Qing's shrill and resentful questioning remained behind the three people, and the only response she received was the exhaust fumes from the departing car.
