In contrast to the festive atmosphere at the Chen family's house, the Huang family's courtyard was gloomy and somber.
Tiger stood at the door of the main room, watching his mother's resolute departure, tears streaming down his face, yet he dared not cry out loud.
Half an hour later, the door was pushed open.
He thought his mother had changed her mind, so he ran towards the door and tripped and fell in his haste.
"Tiger, what's your hurry?" Ah Jian walked in carrying a piece of pork belly, frowning as he shouted.
He grabbed Hu Zi by the collar and simply dragged him into the main room.
"Waaah..."
Tiger burst into tears and pointed to the paper on the table.
Ah-Jian glanced suspiciously into the inner room, assuming his mother was sleeping inside. He picked up the paper, looked at it, and his pupils constricted.
This... is impossible...
His mother was actually an enemy agent?
"Tiger, don't cry. Haven't you been to Grandma's house recently?"
Tiger nodded, then shook his head, and stammered,
"I was arrested, and all those people were wearing masks..."
He then recounted some of the events that had occurred that day.
"You mean, Mother is keeping an eye on the Lin family?" A-Jian's hands trembled.
Tiger nodded, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and bit his lip.
He didn't know what his mother meant, but panic gripped him.
The mother said she might never come back again, and that she felt sorry for the two brothers.
"Mom went to turn herself in..." Tiger blurted out again.
Ah-Jian slumped on the sofa, covering his face with his hands, tears seeping through his fingers.
Surrender...
This isn't something that can be resolved simply by turning yourself in.
…
Meanwhile, in the city...
Chen Yi held the investigation report that Xiao Jin had delivered, his pupils dilating.
Impossible, this is impossible...
How could his sister possibly be involved with these people?
It is also related to the Fukushi Port explosion.
“You must have checked the wrong thing…” Chen Yi shook his head, trembling as he took out a cigarette case from his pocket, a flame popped up, and he lit a cigarette, his fingers shaking as he held it.
The white smoke obscured the panic in his eyes, but at that moment he felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, leaving him numb.
Xiao Jin, "She took over...the connections in Fuzhou..."
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding what the so-called "connections" really meant.
It even got involved with Jack.
"Why did she do that?" Chen Yi murmured.
He suddenly remembered the last time his sister could casually produce a large sum of money...
No, it's even less likely to be for money.
The majority of the old man and woman's inheritance was left to his sister.
No matter what the other members of the Chen family thought, it was useless; no one could go against the old man's decision.
"You'll only understand if you ask her. I've told you guys before to keep an eye on her."
“She has a really bad reputation abroad.” Xiao Jin handed the document to Chen Yi, actually testing the waters.
If Chen Yi shows disdain, then the Chen family is basically finished.
Based on the information we have found so far, it was only a matter of time before Chen Jiali was investigated.
How did Chen Niaoshu know about Qi Wei's mission?
Who leaked the information to her?
The Lu family hasn't found out about this yet.
Xiao Jin thought to herself, "Maybe the Chen family is really rotten to the core."
This time, his usually shrewd older brother was dragged down with him, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to recover.
After the old man passed away, many prominent families severed ties with the Xiao family.
Besides the Chen family taking the initiative to approach...
"You... really severed ties with the Xiao family?" Chen Yi still didn't believe it, and after receiving these documents, his doubts only grew.
Xiao Jin ignored him. The things had already been delivered. As for what Chen Yi would do next, that was up to him.
He stepped out of the hotel suite, his expression indifferent, as if the documents were just ordinary files.
Chen Yi slumped onto the sofa, a chill running down his spine, a sense of powerlessness and fear enveloping him.
Does the Chen family... put me and my sister on the same side?
Why did Xiao Jin send the documents to him at this time?
Chen Yi smiled bitterly, perhaps what the people in the compound said was true.
He was indeed far inferior to Lu Yunshen; when faced with trouble, his first thought was to ask his grandfather for help.
But if he wants to completely extricate himself from this matter, he can't tell his grandfather.
They've all been exposed...
Having figured this out, Chen Yi felt much more at ease.
His withdrawal from the Chen family's arrangements may have even saved his life, provided that he did not participate in their affairs and was completely unaware of them.
Over the next few days, after finishing his business in Fuzhou, Chen Yi immediately flew to Guangzhou.
He pretended he had never seen those documents.
Lu Yunshen and Xiao Jin couldn't help but think more highly of Chen Yi. They knew that a decisive action was necessary, otherwise they would only cause more trouble.
"Without Chen Yi's help, it would be almost impossible for the Chen family to transport their goods out of the country," Xiao Jin said calmly.
A dark glint flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that the port explosion was not only premeditated, but that his elder brother also wanted to get rid of Qiu Ying.
He had investigated the matter and found no trace of the Xiao family's involvement.
He stopped investigating after that, never expecting that Jack would expose all of this.
“Jack has already been brought back to the country and is currently being held in Beijing.” Lu Yunshen’s eyes remained calm; his team had long been under surveillance.
At least what he found out, Commander Chu had already investigated long ago and even planted spies.
No wonder, Grandpa used to tell him not to investigate too deeply.
He misunderstood, thinking that his grandfather and the others were afraid of being implicated.
The two walked to the entrance of the village laboratory, looked at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.
The lab has been renovated?
"Come in and help us as soon as you're here," Lu Qiuying's voice came from inside.
"Uncle Huang, could you please add some more bricks over here..." Lin Ziyan pointed in a direction, holding a cardboard box.
It only takes a week to transform a laboratory.
She had expected it to take at least a month, but she didn't expect Grandpa Huang to be so quick.
"Okay, it can be finished today." Grandpa Huang gestured, and his assistant immediately went to work.
Xiao Jin looked around and, thinking she was in a laboratory abroad, paused for a few seconds.
Lu Yunshen walked over quickly and took the cardboard box from Lin Ziyan's hand.
"Leave the rest to me."
Li Chengbing went to the port to help unload the goods, and after unloading, he rushed back to the factory.
When Lin Ziyan looked outside, she could only see the back of the car.
"You should go help too." Lu Qiuying patted Xiao Jin's arm.
Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow. "Brother-in-law, thank you for your trouble."
Xiao Jin, “…”
Lu Qiuying's ears turned red instantly, and she glared at Lin Ziyan.
Sunlight streamed through the window onto the lab bench, its clean surface reflecting a blinding light.
Everyone was busy with their own things, and their shadows were elongated and magnified by the sunlight, casting their images onto the bright wall.
"Does your electronics factory just produce fully automated devices?" Lu Qiuying asked.
Hairun Appliances recently launched a new product: a fully automatic rice cooker.
The price was the same as the semi-automatic version, and it was snapped up by wholesale customers.
Lin Ziyan nodded slightly and put the experimental equipment into the sterilization cabinet.
Han In-je should have received the news by now.
Currently, only Hairun's electrical appliance factory can manufacture this device.
"That's strange, why haven't I received any response to the documents I submitted..."
