Chapter 48



Su Ying asked Qiao Lanlan if she knew what happened to Xue Hongdong's family.

According to Su Ying's understanding, the core members of his family who had eaten too much mutant beast meat would become increasingly ill after they stopped eating mutant beast meat. The diseases would worsen, and those who were not sick would suffer the backlash and become sickly.

According to common sense, the closure of the channel cut off the supply of mutant beast meat, and those in the Xue family who had eaten the meat would not have a good ending.

"Xue Hongdong?"

Qiao Lanlan was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she checked the three characters of the name, the place of origin, and the current age group with Su Ying to confirm that it was the Xue family she remembered.

The Xue family, one of the top ten richest families in the 1990s, is low-key and mysterious. It is said that his family has many low-key industries that are unknown to outsiders.

Later, he entered the pharmaceutical industry, produced anti-cancer drugs, obtained patents, and made a fortune.

Qiao Lanlan was full of curiosity. "Aying, why would you describe the Xue family as having a fate?"

Su Ying was also a little surprised. There was no need to describe the ending. Could it be that the Xue family had done very well in their previous life?

This shouldn't be the case. Could it be that there is anyone in the Xue family who could endure not eating the mutant beast meat, escape the disaster and even get rich?

"Has any of the direct descendants of the Xue family lived past the age of thirty?"

Qiao Lanlan realized something was wrong and quickly told Su Ying everything she knew.

"There are only two direct descendants of the Xue family, a boy and a girl, my brother and sister Xue Jinyun. Xue Jinyun did die of a sudden illness when she was 30 years old. My brother lived a good life and never married. Later he adopted a goddaughter and trained her to be his successor. Do you think that girl was lucky? Suddenly, she became the heir of a wealthy family and found a gold mine for free."

Su Ying guessed that Xue Jinyun had also eaten the meat of mutant beasts, but she had not eaten it for several years and her body probably couldn't take it anymore, but her brother didn't eat it.

She asked absentmindedly, "What is Xue Jinyun's brother called?"

"Her brother's surname was not Xue. He had severed ties with the family and took his mother's surname. Later, he was found and returned to take over the family, but he did not change his surname back. His surname was still Qu and his given name was Liang. He was called Qu Liang."

Curved beam...

Su Ying's thoughts drifted away, and she returned to that strange world where they were struggling to survive. Because she had awakened her spatial ability, the team's food suddenly improved to a higher dimension. Once, she even took a risk and brought the entire team to a parallel world, and used a small piece of very ordinary and useless gold from that strange world to exchange for ten kilograms of meat, a basket of tomatoes, half a sheep, two chickens and a bag of rice in the underground market of the parallel world.

That time, their team found a place deep in the mountains and forests, took a nice bath in the lake, and stewed mutton and potatoes. She learned to swim that time.

They lived in that valley for three days. They had food and water, and they didn’t have to worry about mutant beasts when they slept at night. Those three days were truly comfortable.

However, their physical conditions did not allow them to stay in the parallel world for a long time. On the third day, they began to reject it and felt visibly tired and weak. After returning to the other world, this condition disappeared.

After returning that time, we heard that a small base of the alliance was breached by mutant beasts. We saw many refugees fleeing along the way. The captain gave a piece of mutton boiled in plain water to a boy who looked starving to death on the side of the road.

The captain watched him eat and shushed him quietly, "Don't say anything. What's your name?"

The boy was like a wolf cub that was fed when it was dying, still alert but dependent.

"Quliang." The boy said, "I took my mother's surname. I had a younger brother and a younger sister, but they are all gone. I am the only one here."

The captain sighed, then smiled, turned around and joked with Su Ying: "Aying, this boy is good-looking, how about keeping him in the team as your playmate?"

Su Ying took a look and saw wariness and nervousness in the boy's eyes, as well as some emotions she couldn't tell, so she turned her head.

"I don't want it."

At the moment of rejection, what she was thinking about was the vigilant and inquiring man who pulled her out of the lake. He said his name was Han Jingyuan.

At that time, Su Ying thought that the name was so old-fashioned, but the person was quite good-looking.

Later, Qu Liangzong unexpectedly appeared at the hunting place of the team, followed her, and called her like her teammates: "Aying, Aying, wait for me..."

"Aying, Suying!"

Qiao Lanlan saw that Su Ying was in a daze and could not come back to her senses no matter how she called "Aying". She could only raise her voice and called "Su Ying". Fortunately, Su Ying woke up.

Qiao Lanlan asked anxiously, "You didn't know that Qu Liang in another world, did you?"

Su Ying said, "Maybe they just have the same name. I want to meet the person later."

Qiao Lanlan said hurriedly, "Then let me tell you something else. The girl who was adopted by Qu Liang and got the Xue family's gold mine for free is Tang Suicao. Later, I made a little money from my business and happened to talk to a wife in their rich circle. They said that the reason why Tang Suicao was chosen by Boss Qu and adopted was because when the girl smiled, she looked a bit like Boss Qu's deceased sweetheart, Bai Yueguang."

Su Ying sneered, "Bloody Moonlight is okay, but I can't say anything else about this life. Tang Suicao is not that lucky to pick up another mountain of gold."

Wen Yan asked Su Xinyi to call and tell Su Ying that he was looking for key information and asked her to wait patiently for a few days and not to act rashly.

Su Ying does reception work in the station every day. Things have been peaceful recently, so she has even been working less frequently. Every time Xiao Zhou sighs that life is peaceful and wants to take on a big case, he gets beaten up by everyone.

Sheng Hongsui from next door came twice more and asked Su Ying and Han Jingyuan if they had contacted their families. "Old Guan, the same thing. What mission is so confidential? Don't you have time to make a phone call? Where is your Captain Han? Has he called back?"

Su Ying said: "My family did call a few times."

Actually, no. Su Ying said this on purpose. She didn't want Sheng Hongsui to think that Guan Ming and Han Jingyuan might be sent to perform the same mission.

Sheng Hongsui stayed for a moment, chatted for a few minutes and then went back.

A few children heard it, and Gu Zhinan asked in confusion: "Sister, didn't you say that your brother-in-law didn't call?"

"I lied to her." Su Ying asked with a smile, "Can't you see that she's trying to trick me?"

Gu Zhinan shook his head in surprise, he really couldn't tell. Han Jingchen and Cancan couldn't tell either. They were just wondering why these relatives who never visited each other became so active recently.

The only one who noticed was little Han Xinxing. "If I hadn't cooperated with my mother to deceive her, I would have chased her away long ago."

Han Jingchen asked, "Why hasn't Second Uncle come back yet?"

Su Ying said lightly: "He has only been out for a few days. In the past, he would be gone for ten days or half a month."

After hearing what Su Ying said, the kids thought it was quite normal and started arguing about where to go for fun with their dad Gu on the weekend. To be honest, Gu Chengfeng had already taken them to all the fun places in South Island.

On the weekend, Gu Chengfeng said he would take them to a farm to experience country life. After a day of work, the children were actually willing to stay at the villagers' homes at night and would not come back until the next day.

Su Ying also received a call from Wen Yan himself, his voice trembling and excited, asking her if she could go to Beijing?

"Sister Ying, I almost sacrificed my looks to find this crucial information. I did it for you...yes, I almost lost my innocence to do it for both of us...Okay, I'll tell you now, I found the remaining photos."

"What photos... Those are the photos taken by the pervert every time you come here. Tsk tsk, Sister Ying was so pretty back then. No, no, she's even prettier now. She's more beautiful now, and she's more worldly-like. Of course, I like Sister Ying more now... Okay, I'll shut up. Well, now that I have these photos, I can't send them. The risk is too great. Sister Ying, can't you come over?"

Su Ying didn't expect Wen Yan to have such great investigative skills that he could find the remaining photos. She wanted to go, but it was not long after the Spring Festival and they were not in the same city. It would not be justified for her to leave her children behind and go back to Beijing frequently.

Running back to Beijing without any reasonable reason makes people suspicious.

It is unrealistic to ask Wen Yan to mail it over. If it is discovered, it will cause even greater trouble.

Wen Yan himself had even less reason to come to South Island.

Su Ying was not in a good mood because she wanted to see the photos but could not. She said angrily, "It's not a holiday, how can I go to Beijing?"

Wen Yan hesitated and said, "For safety reasons, how about I destroy all the photos?"

"No, they're still useful. Can you find out how they took these photos?"

"I'm asking around." Wen Yan knew what to do next without any instructions.

After exchanging information, Wen Yan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Su Ying something.

"Sister Ying, Su Xinyi, the person who passed the message to us, is in some trouble. I thought I should tell you about it."

"Isn't she doing internship at a Chinese medicine clinic? What happened to her?"

Wen Yan said: "It was a medical dispute. A patient took the medicine she prescribed and his condition worsened. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital and saved. Now she is suspended from work and is being blackmailed."

Su Ying frowned as she experienced the same thing as Su's father. "She didn't even tell me about such a big thing..."

Wen Yan advised, "You are so far away, you can't help me even if I tell you. I don't want you to worry, so I reminded me not to tell you."

"But you said it anyway."

Wen Yan chuckled, "Yes, and I have found out clearly that the one who blackmailed Su Xinyi is the same family that blackmailed Su's father in the past. The old woman's first daughter-in-law died after taking the medicine prescribed by Su's father, and the second daughter-in-law was admitted to the hospital after taking Su Xinyi's medicine. Sister Ying, someone is trying to lure you."

Su Ying became interested. "Why do you say it was my fishing line? Could it be that the family is using the same old trick again and just happened to blackmail Su Xinyi? Why do you think it was targeting me?"

Wen Yan said, "Because the parents of her first daughter-in-law were just transferred to South Island from where they were sent down, and then Sister Xinyi was blackmailed. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

That's not a coincidence, there aren't that many coincidences.

Su Ying was very clear about this in the other world. Too many coincidences might be a trap set by the opponent.

Even advanced mutant beasts will work as a team and release a young beast as bait first, let alone humans who have much higher IQs.

Su Ying didn't waste time talking to him. "Did you check which farm the old woman's ex-daughter-in-law's parents were transferred to?"

Wen Yan said, "I have checked for Sister Ying a long time ago. It is at the farm where Chen Wusheng was an educated youth."

"Sister Ying, in the cowshed in front, there is an old couple with a teenage son. They have been here for a short time and are very alert."

Their farm is so nice. It is a great treatment for these intellectuals who have been sent down.

Hao Chunying was the one who was rejected for her kind offer of medicine. She was indignant, "My son was sick but he refused to take the medicine sent by others. He is suspicious every day. I don't know who he is guarding against."

Su Ying: "Maybe he's on guard against me."

Hao Chunying: ...

Su Ying explained the whole story to her.

"The couple had a daughter who married into Xia Jinhua's family. Like my mother, old lady Xia Jinhua was looking for a husband. She chose my father, and then my father married into my family. The old lady and my family never got along well. Later, she gave birth to a son. My mother gave birth to me... she picked me up and told others that I was her biological son."

"The old woman was very proud of her son. Later, she married a daughter-in-law whose family was well-off and had a large dowry. The old woman was even more proud. But the good times didn't last long. Not long after, she heard that her in-laws' family had been raided and were going to be demoted. The daughter-in-law fell ill and was rushed to a Chinese medicine clinic overnight. It happened that my father was on night shift that day."

"My father didn't talk to that old woman Xia Jinhua, but as a doctor's duty, and he had no grudge against her daughter-in-law, he wrote a prescription and boiled the medicine in the store on the spot. After taking a dose of the medicine and observing the patient for a night, the patient's condition improved, so he prescribed medicine for another week before he went home."

"Her daughter-in-law took the medicine for a few days and then suddenly died. She insisted that it was my father's medicine that killed her. She said that even if the medicine was not poisonous, my father was a quack and the medicine he prescribed was useless and delayed the daughter-in-law's condition. Anyway, she made a fuss and made the Chinese medicine clinic unable to open. My father's reputation for half his life was ruined, and he died at home in depression."

The Chinese medicine clinic wanted to settle the matter privately, and after negotiation, it paid 4,000 yuan, which was equivalent to nearly ten years' salary for an ordinary worker. Old lady Xia Jinhua was a big mouth, and she went out and spread the news everywhere. The Chinese medicine clinic paid the money, which was more like a compromise after Su's father prescribed the wrong medicine.

Hao Chunying was so angry that she almost died. "Isn't it that the old woman killed her own wife and then extorted money?"

Su Ying: "Who knows? People's minds are the hardest to guess."

However, after seeing it, she was able to use her special powers to see the truth from Xia Jinhua's mind, but this truth could not be used as evidence.

She came here today to see if she could find some evidence from the old couple.

There was a stalemate in the cowshed. Several educated youth advised them to give the child medicine, but the old couple stopped them.

These kind-hearted educated youth had seen the child running a fever for several days and couldn't bear it, so they pooled their money and hired a doctor to take the child's pulse and prescribe medicine for him. However, the old couple tried to stop them from giving the child the medicine, fearing that these people who loved their child so much were actually trying to poison their son.

Su Ying didn't waste any words. She asked Hao Chunying and the educated youth to stop the old couple, and took the medicine bowl and fed the confused child the medicine.

The child had such a serious fever that it would have been quicker to send him to the hospital for injections and intravenous drips, but the old couple had no money, really no money, so Su Ying used her special powers to relieve the child's symptoms.

Guan Changfu and his wife knelt down and begged Su Ying, "My daughter, we are not the ones who wronged your father, and it has nothing to do with my son. Please don't take revenge on the child."

As soon as Hao Chunying heard this, she knew what was going on. The old couple also knew that their in-laws were no good and they were wrongly accusing Su's father of extorting money.

Su Ying waited until the child finished drinking the medicine before she said, "I'm not stupid, and I don't want to die. How could I poison your son in front of so many people? What did the person who sent you here tell you before you came?"

Guan Changfu was an old intellectual. After analyzing Su Ying's words, he felt that they were credible.

Guilt made them speak, and they said, "We don't know the person who sent us to South Island, but he said that as long as I confess my guilt to you, you will not retaliate against us."

Su Ying asked what the man looked like, and based on Guan Changfu's description, he actually looked a bit like Duan Fan!

Damn it...

Duan Fan had been helping Su Ying investigate the false accusation against Su's father and found out about the old couple, but they were very stubborn and refused to believe anyone after being demoted. Duan Fan tried to persuade them and even moved them to a place with better conditions, leaving Su Ying the opportunity to clear her father's name.

Su Ying was misled by Wen Yan and thought it was arranged by his new boss, so this was really a coincidence, but it was not a coincidence either, because Duan Yu had never given up on helping Su's father clear up the false and wrongful case.

Su Ying said: "That man is my brother. If you have any evidence, please show it to me. I won't cause any trouble for you."

With Su Ying's special ability, the child's fever subsided a little, and the son's condition improved, which made Guan Changfu speak.

"In fact, we suspected that it was not Mr. Su's medicine that was the problem, because my daughter came to visit us once while she was taking the medicine and secretly gave me 50 yuan. But two days after she went back, my in-laws informed me that my daughter had died suddenly after taking Mr. Su's medicine."

"My wife and I rushed over. She fainted from crying. I dug out the prescription and found a packet of Chinese medicine that had not been finished. I also secretly took the dregs of the medicine that had been thrown away that day and took them away."

Because he and his wife were in a situation where everyone was calling for their death, he had doubts but did not dare to speak out, for fear of being accused of another crime.

That night, he and his wife were sent down to the countryside. Several years passed until Duan Fan went to find him. Only then did the old couple have a little hope of finding out the truth for their daughter.

Guan Changfu asked his wife to fetch an old cotton-padded jacket, took off the outer cover, and pulled out the old cotton wool inside. Inside the cotton wool was a package of dried medicinal materials and some black medicinal residues that were hard to tell what they were, wrapped in a prescription.

At the beginning, it was because the prescriptions and pulse records archived in the pharmacy were lost that Xia Jinhua turned around and accused the pharmacy of destroying them out of guilt.

If you follow the prescription prescribed by Su's father, you won't die even if you take it for a year.

Because Xia Jinhua's daughter-in-law was not sick, she was just worried that her parents were angry and fell ill, so she just needed to evacuate them.

But her death was very strange.

Su Ying asked someone to go to the Chengxi Police Station, call Xiaozhou over, record their statements together, and ask the old couple to sign and seal their statements.

She told Guan Changfu that Nandao was a good place, the people on the farm were nice too, and that the fierce-looking Hao Chunying seemed to be a better person, so he could take the medicine she brought without worry. If it didn't work, he could borrow some money from Hao Chunying and take the child to the hospital.

Hao Chunying: ...

Su Ying whispered in Hao Chunying's ear: "Guan Changfu is Chen Wusheng's high school class teacher."

Hao Chunying: ...immediately arrange for a few cousins ​​to take the child to the hospital for a physical examination.

Su Ying told Director Hao that there had been progress in Su's father's case, and she wanted to wait for Han Jingyuan to come back and then take leave to go back and take care of it.

Xiao Zhou was eager to go to Beijing, and offered to go with Su Ying, "Sister Ying, take me with you, I can help you run errands."

Su Ying smiled and said, "The round trip fare is so expensive, I can do it alone."

Director Hao was actually not very confident about Su Ying going back alone to handle the case. After all, this was not the same as visiting relatives, and more people meant more help.

He advised: "The evidence and witnesses are collected here in South Island. Let Xiaozhou go with you. It will be considered a business trip and will be reimbursed."

Looking at Xiaozhou's expectant eyes, Su Ying thought that it didn't matter if he went. It would be a good opportunity to have one more person, and she could also cover up another important matter, killing two birds with one stone.

After Su Ying returned home, she discussed with the children and said, "Dad Su has been falsely accused, and now we have new clues. I will wait for your second uncle to come back, and then go back to Beijing to handle it."

Gu Zhinan couldn't wait and told Su Ying to go right away, "Sister, we are all so old now, and we have a godfather and godmother. You should go now, finish your work earlier and come back earlier."

"But I'm worried about you four being at home."

Han Jingchen said: "My godfather and godmother are next door. It's okay, Second Aunt. I won't be as ignorant as before. I will take good care of my sisters."

Qiao Lanlan knew that Su Ying had another important matter besides Su's father, so she assured Su Ying: "I will live in your house, just like you are at home, don't worry."

Su Ying thought about it and decided that it would be better to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

She wanted to contact Han Jingyuan but couldn't, so before leaving, she called Duan Yu and told him that after arriving in Beijing, she would go to the Municipal Bureau to report the case in which Su's father was falsely accused.

Setting off for Beijing, after getting off the train, Su Ying sent Xiaozhou to a guesthouse. After checking in a room, she gave the address and asked Xiaozhou to go to the hospital first to check on Xia Jinhua's daughter-in-law who was hospitalized.

"You look unfamiliar. No one in Beijing knows you. Let's go over and ask around to see if we can find out anything. I'll go to Su Xinyi's house first, and then I'll come to the guesthouse to find you."

"Okay, let's meet in the evening."

Xiaozhou put down his luggage and went to the hospital. Su Ying went to Su Xinyi's house and met Wen Yan at the door.

Wen Yan hurriedly took two steps forward to greet her, "Sister Ying, you are finally here."

"Did you bring the photos?"

"How dare I carry it with me in broad daylight? I've already found a chance to send it to Sister Xinyi in advance."

Su Ying knocked on the door and Su Xinyi opened it. She looked a little haggard, but her mental state seemed okay. "Come in."

As soon as the gate closed, Han Jingyuan, who was walking across the street, didn't have time to rush over to say hello. He asked Duan Yu who was standing beside him in confusion, "Wasn't that my wife just now?"
