Chapter 737: Chapter 737
"I was thinking the same, if she hadn’t lost her memory, she would definitely be worrying too."
"As long as they are safe, that’s good. About this matter, I have a few opinions, listen to me."
Gu Yecheng came to the Bai Family to visit Bai Liuniang.
An important person from the laboratory back then was a student of Bai Liuniang, so there were some matters he needed to clear up with her.
Bai Liuniang, listening to Gu Yecheng’s speculation, slammed the table and stood up, "Acheng, you need to be responsible for your speculations. You say Xiuze didn’t die but escaped, do you have any evidence? Without evidence, this is a great disrespect to the deceased."
Of course, Bai Liuniang was angry.
Xiuze was her proud student, and it was her idea to let Xiuze into the laboratory in the first place. Now, Acheng suspects Xiuze of betrayal, isn’t that indirectly saying something about her?
"Acheng, you can’t just start biting wildly because your grandfather had an accident. If you suspect Xiuze, aren’t you telling me that you’re suspecting me? I could tell you this, I’ve dedicated my life to the laboratory, if I had that intention, I would’ve been living a good life overseas a long time ago, instead of letting my student get involved," she recounted the many research achievements of her life.
If she had the heart to betray, she would’ve taken those achievements and fled overseas long ago, why would she still be here.
"Grandma Bai, you’ve misunderstood me," Gu Yecheng had anticipated that Bai Liuniang would react this way before he came.
Xiuze was Grandma Bai’s proud student, she was the one who recommended him to the laboratory initially. Now that he suspects Xiuze has issues, it’s understandable that Grandma Bai disagrees.
"Acheng, what do you mean by this? You suspect that Xiuze has issues?" Haige, who had been listening outside, interrupted and came in, "Although Xiuze is young, I can vouch for his character, he is definitely an upright and justice-minded person, there’s no way he could commit a betrayal that goes against all sense of morality, it’s absolutely impossible."
For Haige, Xiuze was her lover, the emotional support for the rest of her life, and now Acheng says, Xiuze might be a suspicious person in the laboratory.
How could she withstand this.
This is an extreme disrespect to the death of Xiuze.
Back then, Xiuze was a victim of the explosion, one could say, no one from the laboratory at that time survived, so how could there be any talk of a traitor.
"Grandma Bai, Sister Haige," Gu Yecheng let out a sigh, "I knew that coming here today, if I were to voice this speculation, you would definitely not understand. This is a photo I inadvertently came across during the investigation, take a look, do you recognize the person in this picture?"
He never made unwarranted guesses.
The photo appeared to be a recent one, and the person in it was no longer the youth of yesteryears, but had become worldly-wise and shrewd.
Looking at the person in the photo, Haige covered her mouth, repeating one sentence, "Impossible, impossible, how can this be."
Bai Liuniang’s lips moved, but in the end, she didn’t say a word.
"The person in the photo is now called Zhou Chongming, a minor leader of an overseas organization. According to the information we have, he may return to the country soon. If he is coming back, I believe he must have a new target, and my grandfather’s incarceration may also be related to him."
The young man of those years was no longer young, but mature and composed, with a smartness about him from head to toe.
"Impossible, impossible," Haige covered her face and left.
This couldn’t be true, the man she had loved for half her life, turned out to be a minor leader of an overseas organization, she couldn’t accept this reality.
No, the man she loved, with talents and capabilities second to none, how could he possibly be a bad person.
Bai Liuniang sighed softly, "If this matter is true, I am primarily responsible. She has been by my side for many years, and I never discovered her true intentions and nature, yet I recommended her to the laboratory and even for a leading position."
If this matter is indeed true, as the one who made the recommendation, she bears responsibility.
At the very least, there is the suspicion of misjudgment in character.
"Grandmother Bai, I am certainly clear about your character. However, for this matter, I still need your cooperation. If he returns to the country, I am sure he will try by all means to get close to Sister Haige. Sister Haige is deeply in love with him. She might be swayed by some of his rhetoric, so during this period, please pay close attention to Sister Haige’s movements."
When the other party will come and when they will arrive is unknown.
Grandmother Bai was naturally aware of the seriousness of the matter: "I understand what you mean, rest assured, if he truly is the mastermind behind that incident, not to mention you, I won’t let him go either. I thought so highly of him, yet, although he is talented and capable, he did not think of using it for good, but instead, took a crooked path. Moreover, the explosion case back then involved so many lives, thinking about it keeps me awake at night."
A hundred plus lives, there might be a hundred plus families who lost their sons, their husbands, their fathers.
After leaving the Bai Family, Gu Yecheng got into the car.
Ye Fei said to Gu Yecheng, "Miss Haige ran out crying, my man has followed her."
Gu Yecheng nodded, "Intensify surveillance on her these days, make sure she doesn’t notice."
Haige, until now, was just a woman hurt by love, her beloved man perished in the fire. Now, learning that the man she loved might not be what she had believed, not accepting it was one thing, but the possibility of being exploited by others was another.
"Yo, isn’t this Lord Long? Lord Long, it’s been a while since we’ve heard from you; where have you been? Recently, I’ve been looking for you but couldn’t find you anywhere," Feifei looked at the man who came in, sashaying towards him.
These days, the people wanted to ask Dragon King for a meeting to talk business, but couldn’t find him at all.
To inquire about Dragon King’s whereabouts, the only answer from his men was that Dragon King wasn’t at home, and that messages could be left to be relayed upon his return.
"You all are not unfamiliar with my way of doing things, always like an elusive dragon," said Dragon King, finding a seat: "Didn’t you say you had something to discuss with me? Where is your boss?"
"Your sudden arrival caught us off-guard; our boss didn’t receive any notice either. Please wait a moment, I’ll go and call him." It would have been better to give us some notice before coming.
Just showing up , who knew if the boss was even in or available.
It wasn’t long before Wolfman arrived, and upon seeing Dragon King, he was as delighted as if he had seen his own brother: "Lord Long, you finally came! Let me tell you, it’s a big project this time, definitely profitable, no losses."
Dragon King raised an eyebrow, not understanding what the arrival of several hefty men behind Wolfman implied.
"These guys are all my brothers. They’ve been hearing about Lord Long’s prestige, and each of them, proud and lofty, thinks the legend must be exaggerated and doesn’t buy it. They’ve all come to challenge you."
Everyone’s understanding of Dragon King’s strength was still stuck on a fight from many years ago.
Dragon King raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing a hint of contempt: "You’re saying you wanted to talk business, but in reality, you want a one-on-one fight with me, right? Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve exercised my muscles. If someone comes to challenge me today, I certainly won’t turn them away." As Dragon King spoke, he clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking loudly.
His eyes provocatively fixated on the five or six men beside Wolfman, landing finally on Wolfman himself: "Surely we’re not going to have a one-on-one here, right? This is hardly a suitable place for that."
Feifei gave a light smile: "Don’t worry, Lord Long. We’ve found a quiet place, where definitely no one will bother us."
As to what extent Dragon King’s strength really was, it would definitely become clear today.
Dragon King stood up: "In that case, why wait? Lead the way."
