Lu Ping was completely stunned; it was the first time she had ever seen so many people together during the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, the families of her two classmates are so complicated; they come from all sorts of different backgrounds.
Workers, police officers, cadres, military doctors—she was dazzled by the sight.
When Uncle Wang finally arrived, Lu Ping had completely lost her ability to speak.
She was certain she had seen the old man before, but not in person; she had seen him in the newspaper.
When Wenhui came over from beside the old man, Lu Ping tugged at her clothes and asked in a low voice, "Wenhui, has this grandpa been in the newspaper...?" She made a gesture as she spoke.
Wenhui looked at her actions with some confusion, but quickly realized what she meant and nodded.
Lu Ping let out a soft breath. Yes, no wonder Wen Hui and Wen Xuan are so much more knowledgeable and eloquent than their peers. Just look at the people they frequently interact with.
After greeting the people inside, Uncle Wang said to Li Chu, "Xiao Chu, come to the study, we need to talk about something. Jianshe, if there's nothing else, you can go back. I'll stay here tonight and come pick me up tomorrow morning. Tell the others as well."
"yes"
Zhang Jianshe knew that there wouldn't be any safety issues with the leaders here, so since they were being told to go home, he should just obediently listen to them.
As they reached the study door, Uncle Wang turned back and looked at them again: "Ziwen, you come too."
Inside the study, the three of them had just sat down when Wenhui came in carrying a thermos, poured water for them, and then left.
Looking at the graceful Wenhui, Uncle Wang said with a smile, "The little girl has grown up. Who knows which boy will be lucky enough to marry her?"
"Grandpa, I'm not getting married. I'll stay home and stay with you."
"Stop right there, Hui girl, do you even believe what you're saying?"
"Grandpa~"
"Hahaha, it's enough that our Hui girl has this intention. Grandpa doesn't want you all to stay by my side. As long as each of you is successful and happy, that's enough."
"Okay, Grandpa, Uncle, Dad, you guys chat. I'll go out first and call you when dinner is ready."
After watching Wenhui leave, Uncle Wang's expression gradually turned serious.
"Xiao Chu, what exactly happened today? I heard someone died?"
Wang Ziwen was stunned for a moment. He thought that Uncle Wang had called them in just to chat. It seemed that something big had happened today, and someone had even died. No wonder the old man looked so grim.
Li Chu said with a wry smile, "Uncle, I'm still completely confused. I still can't figure out what happened."
He then recounted in detail what had happened that morning.
Finally, he added, "What I find most strange is, where did they get that prescription from?"
As Li Chu finished speaking, the study fell silent.
When the house was being renovated, he requested that the soundproofing of all the rooms be properly addressed. The Fu brothers did an excellent job; with so many people outside, including people setting off firecrackers, you couldn't feel any noise while sitting in the study.
The reason we specifically asked for soundproofing was because these wooden houses are so poorly soundproofed. To put it bluntly, if you fart loudly in bed at night, the neighbors might be able to hear it.
Not to mention that if he gets really into it at night, his wife's voice can sometimes rival that of a soprano singer, and he doesn't want others to appreciate her voice.
Uncle Wang tapped his fingers on the table in front of him incessantly, then stopped after a while.
"Xiao Chu, is it possible that this was deduced from the analysis of the medicines that went missing last time?"
Li Chu was stunned by the question; he really hadn't considered that possibility.
"Uh... Uncle, what you said is indeed a possibility, but I still maintain that doing so is a bit of a loss."
Analyzing the formulas of the pills I've made would require a tremendous amount of manpower, resources, and money. Why not just go and check the files directly? Even if those people aren't qualified, Director Shen certainly is.
After pausing, Li Chu picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and continued, "Moreover, from what I've observed, this Director Shen doesn't seem to know who this prescription is for. He probably only knows that it's for a certain leader, but he doesn't know exactly who."
"By the way, Uncle, last time you were going to tell me about the outcome of Xu Ying's matter, but I didn't listen. I have some suspicion that today's events are related to Xu Ying. How was it handled back then?"
Wang Ziwen felt a bit lost. How come there's a prequel and a sequel to this kind of thing?
And it keeps happening one after another.
Uncle Wang gave Li Chu a deep look, thought for a moment, and then said, "That's why I asked you today. Xu Ying and her boyfriend, that Song guy, both committed suicide."
"Pfft..." Li Chu, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it out.
After a moment of surprise, he quickly grabbed a rag and wiped the water stains off the table.
While wiping him, he looked at Uncle Wang in shock and asked, "Did they both commit suicide?"
Uncle Wang didn't say anything, he just nodded.
Li Chu suddenly felt a severe toothache, and not only that, his liver also began to ache faintly.
What the hell is going on here?
Wang Ziwen sat to the side, his mouth agape. Good heavens! He just wanted to shout, "Good heavens! How could three lives be lost like this?"
He ate so much melon that he felt a bit too full.
However, it's not a good thing to get involved in gossip about one's brother-in-law.
"Uncle, Xiao Chu, I'm a little confused. Are you talking about the Xu Ying who stole the medicine you prescribed for me, Xiao Chu, and then confessed that her boyfriend made her do it, and then they both committed suicide?"
Sword Comes
"Yes, brother-in-law, that's about it."
"And then this happened today?"
Li Chu nodded.
"In that case, I think they are all backed by the same person, or the same organization."
"Brother-in-law, you're right, that's what I think too, but what is their purpose?"
...
Wang Ziwen rested her chin on her hand and thought for a long time before asking hesitantly, "Xiao Chu, may I ask if there is any connection between the medicine that Xu Ying stole before and the prescription that appeared today?"
Li Chu waved his hand: "There's nothing I can't ask. It's the same medicine, the one I prescribed for Uncle. And to be honest, you've all taken it before. It's the pills that you and my sister are taking every day. Aunt is taking it too, as are Qiu Nan's parents."
"Huh? You mean that medicine you mentioned, the one that enhances physical fitness?"
"yes"
"But you know what, this medicine is really good. Since your sister and I started taking it, we haven't even had a cold or headache in all these years."
