92? The Mastermind



92 The Mastermind

Two days later, at the Jian family's old residence, three investigation reports were placed on Chu Xiao's desk.

Chu Xiao picked up the report that was placed on top, according to her personal habit.

The first document is Jian Aotian's drug analysis report.

She was not surprised to see the abnormal component marked in red—a metabolic toxin that specifically inhibits the synthesis of neurotransmitters—discovered.

After all, the head of the neurology department had previously said that Jian Aotian's intracranial hematoma was being absorbed and the damaged nerves were slowly recovering, so theoretically this shouldn't be the case.

Since this shouldn't happen in theory, then there must be a special circumstance.

Chu Xiao picked up the next report without changing his expression.

The second report was a medical chain report of more than 20 pages.

In the report, the capable Wang Xue not only clarified the transmission chain from Dr. Qiao to intern Xiao Liu, but also pointed out in the appendix that the laundering path of the funds used for this poisoning was exactly the same as the source of the unknown funds in the account of the repair team leader's relative. Based on this, she judged that the car accident and the poisoning case were planned by the same mastermind.

Chu Xiao remained unsurprised.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and flipped through the last report.

The third investigation report is about Huo Chengrong.

Just a day earlier, Wang Erzhuang, using a GPS tracker, led his men to successfully capture Huo Chengrong, who was trying to escape into the mountains on a bicycle.

After a day of special interrogation, it was learned that Huo Chengrong was currently only under surveillance and observation, and that the car accident involving Jian Aotian was not caused by Huo Chengrong's men.

Chu Xiao raised her eyebrows in surprise, seemingly lost in thought.

I was wrong before; the mastermind behind the car accident wasn't Huo Chengrong after all.

That leaves only...

Chu Xiao downed the tea in his cup in one gulp, slammed the cup down, and called Wang Xue into the study.

...

Feng Youjing was "invited" back by Xiao Han at one of his top-tier cosmetic surgery centers.

When she was brought in, her face was so swollen, like a fermented bun, because she had just undergone a large amount of facial fat grafting. Chu Xiao almost didn't recognize her.

"Jianfei! What do you mean? I'm your mother! Tell them to let me go!"

Feng Youjing was very angry.

However, she prided herself on being elegant and couldn't possibly yell and shout like a shrew in the marketplace in order to maintain her image. Her face was stiff from the recent filler treatment and she couldn't make any expressions, so she could only glare at Chu Xiao, trying to condemn this rebellious woman with her eyes.

Chu Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

Two tall bodyguards in black released Feng Youjing and stood behind her like two walls.

Feng Youjing snorted coldly, patted her arm that had been touched by the bodyguard with disdain, and sat down on the sofa.

Chu Xiao sat opposite her, looking at Wang Xue with a blank expression.

Wang Xue immediately placed the documents she was holding in front of Feng Youjing.

Chu Xiao said in a businesslike manner, "Ms. Feng, we have ample evidence to show that you orchestrated Mr. Jian Aotian's car accident and instructed Dr. Qiao, Nurse Li, intern Xiao Liu, and others to poison him."

Feng Youjing's pupils suddenly contracted.

She glanced unconsciously at the plain blue folder on the coffee table, but didn't open it.

The next second, she looked directly at Chu Xiao, clutching her chest and saying with heartache, "Feifei! How could you doubt your mother? I did all this for you! If I hadn't killed Jian Aotian, would you have been able to take over now?"

"..."

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

Chu Xiao was shocked by Feng Youjing's nonsense.

So she really couldn't hold back—

"hehe."

Chu Xiao's speechless "hehe" sounded extremely grating to Feng Youjing.

Her anger, which she had been forcibly suppressing, finally erupted—

"Jian Fei, who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that!"

"No wonder he's Jian Aotian's son, just as disgusting as Jian Aotian!"

"I feel disgusted just looking at your face! It's a disgrace that I gave birth to you!"

Feng Youjing screamed and unleashed a torrent of abuse, hurling the most vicious words, wanting to cause this rebellious daughter to suffer and break down.

But Chu Xiao disagreed.

"You're not worthy to be my mother."

"You!" Feng Youjing was so angry that she lost all reason and went completely mad. "You bastard child of Jian Aotian don't deserve to be my child! My only treasure is Huo Chengrong!"

“Baby… Huo Chengrong?” Chu Xiao immediately caught this crucial information.

Feng Youjing opened her eyes wide and subconsciously covered her mouth.

She realized she had misspoke, but it was too late.

Chu Xiao asked curiously, "What's your relationship with Huo Chengrong?"

Feng Youjing sneered: "Why should I tell you!"

Chu Xiao sighed deeply.

I thought I could save that million...

Indeed, Chu Xiao had anticipated that Feng Youjing might not cooperate with the investigation, so he was prepared.

She clapped her hands.

A minute later, Wang Xue brought out a glass of colorful, bubbling, unidentified liquid.

The liquid in the glass changed color from time to time as Wang Xue shook it; it turned blue after shaking it once, purple after shaking it once more, and yellow after shaking it again. When she stopped shaking it, it returned to its various colors.

Feng Youjing stared nervously at the strange liquid, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

Chu Xiao waved to the two bodyguards blocking Feng Youjing's back.

The bodyguards immediately restrained Feng Youjing again.

What are you trying to do?!

Feng Youjing struggled violently, her eyes filled with terror.

Chu Xiao took the unidentified liquid from Wang Xue, looking at her with admiration: "This is the latest Truth Water developed by Jian's Pharmaceuticals. One cup is worth 1 million. After drinking it, you're guaranteed to answer any question. As for the side effects... that still needs further research."

She smiled maliciously and said, "I'll use you as a test subject for the medicine today!"

"No! No!" Feng Youjing finally broke down and admitted, "Huo Chengrong... he is my and Huo Lin's son."

Chu Xiao was shocked: "Impossible! The investigation shows that Huo Chengrong is a legitimate child! His wife is not you!"

This struck a nerve with Feng Youjing again, and she roared angrily, "What do you know! We replaced the real legitimate child long ago! Huo Lin promised me that the Huo family heir can only be my child!"

Having said that, Feng Youjing simply revealed the secret she had kept for half her life.

"Jian Aotian destroyed the Huo family and drove Huo Lin to his death. Why should he live to enjoy wealth and luxury! As long as Jian Aotian is dead, I will have a way to make Cheng Rong acknowledge the Jian family as his ancestor, inherit the Jian family business, and get everything he deserves!"

“I’ve paved the way for him! He doesn’t even need to know anything…”

Wang Xue glanced at Chu Xiao with pity.

She thought to herself: This Ms. Feng Youjing is the boss's biological mother. She just attacked the boss with the most vicious words, but she goes to such lengths to care for another child... The boss is a pitiful person too.

Chu Xiao clapped her hands and said sarcastically, "What great maternal love."

She also felt sorry for the original owner of the body.

In the original novel, Feng Youjing didn't care about Jian Fei at all, and didn't even care when Jian Fei ate too much. I didn't expect that after the world automatically filled in the background of the story, there would be such an inside story.

Chu Xiao stood up with a look of disgust, turned and left.

“Take the person away and transfer them to the judicial authorities.”
