Chapter 443 - Those Two Guys Died (1/2)

The next day, when Jiang Rui received Wen Pintang’s call, he was not a bit surprised.

“You have told me that you wouldn’t care about those idiots in your family,” Jiang Rui joked. “I thought that you would really keep your word.”

Wen Pintang’s laughter came from the other side of the phone. “Haha, the old man knelt down to beg me for his only son. I couldn’t refuse him.”

“Then we can talk about it.” Jiang Rui said to him, “If you have something I’d like to know, I can exchange the information with you.”

“You’re a bastard!” Wen Pintang swore, which was very rare for him. “You knew I had the information, right?”

Jiang Rui said like he didn’t even mind, “You can keep it if you like. I’ll know sooner or later.”

“The reason why I didn’t tell you is for your own sake.” Wen Pintang stopped for a minute. “Your grandpa knows about it too but he has kept it from you. He is afraid you may get reckless about it.”

“Just tell me.” Jiang Rui’s tone turned cold. “Then I will release him.”

Years ago, researchers found a medicine that could stimulate human genes and further develop human intelligence and physical power. However, the clinical experiments kept failing so the government decided to stop the experiments.

But some military researchers didn’t want to give up, which included Jiang Rui’s mother and the only daughter in the Lu family then. They decided to continue the research. However, the girl from the Lu family had a boyfriend overseas to whom she accidentally told about the plan.

What she didn’t know was that her boyfriend was actually a terrorist in the base. He stole her card and got into the lab. At the moment, Jiang Rui’s mother was alone in the lab and was injected with the drug, which hadn’t been tested, during the fight.

“You know the things that happened next. When you were born, the terrorists kidnapped your parents and they sacrificed themselves for you.” Wen Pintang kept quiet after these words and waited for Jiang Rui to react.

After a while, Jiang Rui said, “And?”

“How did you know that I was not finished?” Wen Pintang sounded nervous. “It took me several years to get the information. It is mean of you to make me tell you everything.”

Jiang Rui ignored his unwillingness. “You’ve been secretly investigating in case the Wen family gets into trouble someday. Then you can use it to discuss it with the government. Don’t worry. If anything really happened, the Jiang family, my mother, and the Wan family will all take action.”

A tall tree catches the wind. The Wen family was too rich and powerful and would catch others’ attention someday. Now he could still protect the family. By the time he died, he wondered if the offspring could maintain it. That was also the reason why he agreed to Wen Zeyu marrying Tuan Zi. He had to found a close connection between the Wen family and the Wan family.

“The master of that organization is called Kutcher, who is a crazy biochemist. His wife and children all lost their lives because of his experiments. That guy is particularly interested in the improvement of human genes. When he kidnapped your parents, he wanted to take you back to do experiments.”

Jiang Rui’s voice sounded very calm. “Do you know where he is?”

“On a small island in the North Pacific.” Wen Pintang was a bit unhappy when he mentioned it. “These years, I’ve sent several groups of people there, but none of them came back.” He stopped for a minute and then continued.

“Jiang Rui, listen to me. You can’t go there. You should think about Xin Qing, Liuliu, and Tuan Zi. They can’t live without you. So… at least, you should be clear about the conditions on the island.”

That night, Chen Chen found something strange with Jiang Rui.

“Brother Xiao Rui, if you have worries, just tell me. I tell you everything that I feel sad about!” She told Tuan Zi to sleep early on purpose and dragged Jiang Rui to lie in bed.

Jiang Rui knew that the little woman was trying to comfort him so he touched her forehead with his chin in a satisfied way and told her what Wen Pintang had said today.

“The files about this thing have been completely destroyed. We only know that a lovelorn girl in the Lu family committed suicide. Then the whole Lu family in the army was dismissed and left the military district overnight.”

Chen Chen got into his arms. “So that is the reason why the Lu family fell.”

“In fact, I’ve been suspecting it all the time. Now that I know, I don’t feel so terrible anymore.” Jiang Rui held her in his arms. “I have no good feelings for the Lu family all the time. Maybe in my mind, I’ve blamed them for my parents’ accident.”

“Then what should we do with Lu Ming? Should we still keep him locked up?”

Jiang Rui smiled. “Beat him half to death and then throw him out. Lu Tao is so cruel that he will soon go against those cousins.”

The next afternoon, Wen Wei and Lu Ming were sent back home separately. Many people in this circle heard about it. It was said that every man would beat you up if you flirted with his wife. Now that they were released, it was settled.

But that night, Jiang Rui was woken up by the phone.

“Master, Wen Wei and Lu Ming died.”

In the hospital, the second uncle in the Wen family cried so hard that he passed out several times. “Pintang, it must be Jiang Rui who killed him. Jiang Rui must have killed him.” His face was filled with sadness while his eyes were full of hatred.

Wen Pintang held him to sit down. “Uncle, Jiang Rui is not that kind of a person. If he wanted Wen Wei’s life, he wouldn’t have released him.”

“Then who could it be?” Mr. Wen shouted excitedly, “You have to help me, Pintang! I don’t count on those cops. You’re the only one I trust.”

“I have sent people to investigate.”

Though Wen Wei and Lu Ming were badly hurt, they wouldn’t take a rest at home and went out to take a sauna. Then they were found dead in the sauna house. And their throats had been cut.

“From the coroner’s report, Lu Ming died first. Then Wen Wei wanted to run and he was killed. So there was also a wound on his leg. His throat was cut in the end.”

Xiao Si threw the files he just got on the table. “Now they say that we did it.”

“Huh!” Jiang Rui curled his lips. “Don’t worry about it. Let the police do the work.”

Bear mumbled, “But they aimed at us!”
