Chapter 98 Lin Ruheng's Information
When the sunlight fell on the edge of the bed, Lin Yao woke up first.
Ye Heng was still asleep, his breath evenly caressing his hair.
Her chin rested against his forehead, feeling a bit warm as if she had just woken up.
Lin Yao just stood there quietly, just tilting his head to look out the window.
The shadow of the cloud moved slowly on the ground, and the laughter of the little lamb teasing the little girl could be heard faintly outside the house.
It was so comfortable that one could forget the hustle and bustle of the previous night.
Lin Yao was stunned for a while before he slowly took other actions.
I swiped my finger across the terminal, intending to check the time.
However, an unread message popped up on the screen, and the sender column indicated that the other party was Lin Ruheng.
Lin Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously leaned towards Ye Heng and opened the door quickly.
The message is not long:
[The Blackfish Star is not a research and development base.]
The Lin family's real medicine research and development is in the main mining area of Heiyuan Star. It is just an experimental site and a place for live experiments.
Those unspecified neurotoxins and psychotropic agents are tested there first to see if they work.
Lin Yao's fingertips paused on the screen, and a chill instantly ran down his back.
No wonder we only saw culture chambers and semi-finished medicines there before. It turns out that the dirtiest things are hidden under the name of this experimental site.
He bit his lip, his finger hovered over the input box, and typed a line of words:
"What are experimental subjects? Where do they come from?"
Less than half a minute after the message was sent, Lin Ruheng's reply came:
[Most of them are wanderers who are left unattended or disobedient space pirates.
Sometimes I buy it on the black market.
The Lin family called them "consumables," and after use, they were disposed of and thrown into abandoned mines.
The word "consumables" hurt Lin Yao's eyes.
He thought of the body parts floating in the glass cabin at the experimental site, and the pool of ownerless blood in the red spaceship, and his throat felt choked.
"The people on that red spaceship..." He had just finished knocking when Ye Heng suddenly moved.
She tightened her arms around his waist, her voice hoarse and a bit tired from waking up:
"What are you looking at? Your face has turned pale."
Lin Yao held the terminal in front of him and lowered his voice: "A message from Lin Ruheng."
Ye Heng squinted his eyes and scanned the place, his originally relaxed brows instantly furrowed.
Her fingertips pressed on the word "consumables," her knuckles turning white. "He's willing to talk about it."
"Isn't this normal as a collaborator?" Lin Yao's fingertips brushed across the screen.
He rubbed the three characters "Lin Ruheng" with his fingertips, frowning slightly, "But, does he hate the Lin family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he first recalled the scene when they first discussed the cooperation.
At that time, Lin Ruheng's voice was very cold. Lin Yao asked him "why",
He was silent for a long while, then gritted his teeth and blurted out, "I want Lin Zhixiong to die," and refused to say another word.
"I asked him before." Lin Yao rubbed against Ye Heng's arms and lowered his voice.
"When we first discussed the cooperation, he didn't elaborate, only saying that he wanted to kill Lin Zhixiong.
You said he hates it so much, is there any reason for it?"
Ye Heng raised his hand and smoothed his hair, his fingertips sliding from the top of his head to his back, slowly rubbing downwards.
He was silent for a while, tapped Lin Yao's back with his fingertips, and then spoke in a low voice:
"The exact reasons are hard to pin down. They're just gossip and jokes passed around within the family, not real evidence."
Lin Yao looked up at him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Can you listen to the general idea of small talk?"
"Hmm." Ye Heng pinched his brows, as if recalling those fragmentary rumors, "It seems... it's related to his mother."
"His mother?" Lin Yao was stunned and stared into Ye Heng's eyes. "I've never heard the Lin family mention his mother."
"Of course I won't mention it." Ye Heng pulled the corner of his mouth, with a hint of coldness in his smile.
"It's said that his mother had already decided on a date for him. I heard that guy is a starship designer, and they're incredibly close."
He paused, and lowered his voice even more:
"Later, I don't know why Lin Zhixiong fell in love with his mother. Some say it was because of her appearance, but others say it was due to experimental needs. I prefer the latter."
Lin Yao had heard Ye Heng mention the origins of Lin Zhixiong's two sons before. At that time, Ye Heng mentioned the word "experiment".
At that time, Lin Yao thought that Ye Heng was using this as a trick, but he didn't expect: "To test it, he broke up someone else's wedding?"
"When has the Lin family ever considered others when doing things? Especially Lin Zhixiong." Ye Heng took over his words and pinched his palm to comfort him.
"Then there was Lin Ruheng.
I heard that his mother hasn't smiled since she had him. She stays in the house every day, either staring out the window or looking at an old star map.
When Lin Ruheng was three years old, she passed away. She was said to be 'depressed and exhausted', and the Lin family simply told others that she had contracted a serious illness.
"It's really unscrupulous." Lin Yao's voice tightened. A human life was actually used as a topic of conversation.
"Otherwise, why is it called a 'joke'?" Ye Heng touched the top of his head with his fingertips, pressed it down, and let him lean on his shoulder.
"The family members gathered together to drink and talked about this matter.
Everyone laughed at his mother for being ungrateful and at Lin Ruheng being an experimental subject.
Lin Ruheng has been exposed to these words since childhood, how could she not hate them? "
Lin Yao didn't say anything, just buried his face in Ye Heng's shoulder and hummed muffledly.
"No wonder he developed his own power before cooperating with us." Lin Yao said gloomily.
Ye Heng patted Lin Yao's back soothingly.
Ye Heng looked at the token on the table. "It's too late after all." He whispered, with no emotion in his eyes.
Lin Yao also sighed. He had intended to use the token to gather the remaining troops.
When they killed the one-eyed man last night, he finally told the truth before he died.
The remaining troops from that year became "consumables" after being captured by the Lin family, which means that there is no need for them to think about recruiting them anymore.
Lin Yao put his hand on the back of his hand and rubbed his knuckles with his fingertips: "At least we know where he is."
He picked up the terminal, and Lin Ruheng's dialog box was still lit on the screen, so he continued the conversation.
Lin Ruheng's reply came quickly, and he mentioned the Central Star.
It's said that things are very chaotic now.
Over at the Ye family, Ye Bingzong is ill. I heard he has been in the medical cabin for almost half a month.
All indicators are declining, and several branches of the Ye family have begun to move into the main house.
And there was also Lin Xue, the "wife" that was insisted to be given to Ye Heng. She moved into the Ye family's old house the day Ye Heng was rescued.
The interesting thing is that she didn't know why she didn't live in Ye Heng's room.
Instead, he lived in the room closest to Ye Bingzong's medical warehouse and ran to the medical warehouse every day.
It looked like Ye Bingzong had married a second wife, but the Ye family told others that they were fulfilling their filial duties for Ye Heng.
Lin Yao scoffed, then suddenly remembered something and turned to Ye Heng and said:
"Those cameras we placed in the Ye family's main residence might have captured something interesting. It's a pity we were too busy to check it out."
"Remember this first." Ye Heng pinched the back of his neck. "Wait until everything is settled. These few days won't be too much of a hassle."
Lin Yao responded and was about to reply to Lin Ruheng when the other party sent another message:
The palace is not peaceful either. The old emperor is dying and is using medicine every day to keep himself alive.
He was probably holding on with all his might, waiting for the Third Imperial Concubine to give birth to that so-called gifted child.
Moreover, the third prince has been entering the palace frequently recently, and most of the ministers have begun to lean towards him, and his momentum for succession to the throne is extremely strong.
Lin Zhixiong's actions behind the scenes have been getting more and more urgent recently.
Lin Yao paused his fingertips on the screen and frowned.
Lin Zhixiong wants to use the third prince to ascend to the throne? If the third prince really succeeds to the throne, it will be even more difficult to move the Lin family.
Ye Heng came over to take a look, and suddenly his arms tightened.
She brought him closer to her, rested her chin on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear:
"Ask him what we should do to get hold of Lin Zhixiong?"
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and tapped his fingertips on the screen:
"Lin Zhixiong moved so quickly, there must be a flaw. What should we do?"
Lin Ruheng was silent for a long time before a line of words popped up, which was an address.
Lin Ruheng said that if you want to get all the evidence, you must go to this place.
