[Mi Yang: The termites have even come to our doorstep.]
[Wang Hui: Jiao Yushen wants to steal our pharmaceutical business? That guy is really cunning.]
[Jiao Yushen: Tao Peng is truly more trouble than he's worth!]
[Jiao Hua'an: What does Yu Yin mean by specifically mentioning the pharmaceutical factory at this time? My damned younger brother, he never gets anything done smoothly. Or did my dad really say something to Yu Yin...? It can't be that...]
[Jiao Cheng: This pharmaceutical factory was finally uncovered, but I found out too late. Otherwise, Huachang's children wouldn't have been ruined like this.]
Lu Yu felt that the food in her mouth had become difficult to swallow. Suppressing the discomfort, she hurriedly gulped down a mouthful of water.
[...]
The constant stream of inner thoughts entered Lu Yu's ears, leaving her somewhat confused. Jiao Cheng's words and inner thoughts mingled, making it difficult for her to discern the content of his thoughts.
But Lu Yu could clearly tell that the long inner monologue that followed came from Jiao Cheng.
"Tao Pengren is gone, so there's no way to settle this score. Let's not talk about these things during the New Year." Jiao Cheng abruptly changed the subject.
Jiao Yuyin and Lu Yu exchanged a glance, knowing that she had gained something, so they decided not to say anything more.
As the clock struck midnight, we bid farewell to the old year and welcomed the new.
Each person received a large red envelope and then went home.
As soon as Jiao Yuyin's car drove away from the Jiao family's old house, Lu Yu immediately slumped into the passenger seat.
This was the first time Lu Yu had seen Jiao Yuyin drive.
He rested his left hand on the steering wheel and his right elbow on the center armrest between the two seats.
"Who in the Jiao family knows about the pharmaceutical factory?" Jiao Yuyin asked after turning left.
“Jiao Yushen.” Lu Yu looked at the road and said calmly, “And Jiao Hua’an, and… your father.”
After a long while, a voice finally came through: "And then?"
After a moment's thought, Lu Yu said, "Boss, let's talk at home. Focus on driving on the way."
"Okay, we'll talk about it when we get home."
On either side of the main gate of Pear Fragrance Villa, newly planted plum trees shimmered under the lights.
Jiao Yuyin warmed two glasses of milk and sat down next to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu, who was slumped on the sofa in a daze, only came to his senses after smelling the warm and mellow aroma of hot milk. He took a small sip of milk and said, "Let me tell you about something important right now. Jiao Yushen is definitely up to no good. He wanted to take action against the cooperation between Tengyue and Qingbei teams before, but he couldn't find an opportunity. Now he's preparing to target the agricultural and livestock company that you've been in charge of for a long time."
Jiao Yuyin covered Lu Yu's legs with a small blanket from the back of the sofa and asked, "Which company is he planning to target? Did you hear that?"
“I didn’t hear the specific company, but I know it’s a pig slaughterhouse in Los Angeles, though I don’t know which one. It was arranged by Jiao Hua’an for Jiao Yushen. Judging from her words, she started with the environmental protection company she recently took over, so it’s probably related to wastewater or waste gas,” Lu Yu said, pondering as she spoke.
Her hands gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, her fingertips turning white. Life seemed to be getting more and more complicated. Even just listening to her innermost thoughts as Jiao Yuyin had arranged made her feel like her scalp was about to explode.
She didn't know Jiao Yuyin's past, but from these fragments of light, she seemed to be able to find Jiao Yuyin's past disappointments and helplessness time and time again.
“It’s most likely wastewater. Slaughterhouse wastewater treatment is much more complicated than waste gas treatment. We only need to hear about this within the scope of Luo City, so it’s easy to investigate. I’ll handle it.” Jiao Yuyin leaned back on the sofa.
He took off his glasses and closed his eyes.
Lu Yu knew that it meant he was ready to face the truth.
