Chapter 583 - Suspecting Gao Huan (1/2)
Lu Yin Ze coughed to ease the tension between the ladies. ”As Tang Yin said, I think Mistress Tang is under the impression that my father is making an enemy out of the Tang family. Since we are already in the same boat with the Tang family, I think it will be better to rope in Tang Yin to our investigation.”
”You trust her?” Xiong Zhi asked.
Lu Yin Ze nodded firmly. ”Yes.”
Tang Yin could not help but glance at Lu Yin Ze.
This made her remember their conversation three days ago when she visited the Lu family with her elder sister and grandmother.
....
Lu Yin Ze looked at Tang Yin curiously after she mentioned that her grandmother might be gathering some information against his father Ming Zhi Yi.
”Why are you telling me this? I think this is a discussion between the elders.”
The elders discussed it only among themselves and purposely left the younger generation out.
Tang Yin: ”You are the son and the heir of Lu family, so I think you should know. Besides, you cursed your father that day. Aren't you trying to win against him? I think this information will be helpful to you.”
”...Why are you helping me?”
”Hmm? Because... we pledged that we will help you succeed?” Tang Yin looked at him strangely.
”Is that all?”
”...Well, it is also because we are now in the same boat.” Tang Yin then added, ”And besides, friends should help out each other, right?”
When she said that, the man before her turned silent for a long time.
”Do you want to help me a bit more?”
....
And that was how it led to today.
'Really, how come this annoying man trusted people so easily? He's almost like a little white cub in need of protection.' Tang Yin just sighed for the pitiful future life of Lu Yin Ze.
”I think we can trust Tang Yin,” Linfeng spoke after a while.
Tang Yin's eyes brightened with glorious light. ”That's right! You can trust me!”
Tang Yin had another goal in this at the moment she saw her brother Linfeng. It was to spend more time with Linfeng through this. However, that would be difficult when that woman was around. That Xiong Zhi was like a mother bear protecting her cub!
But she won't give up!
Xiong Zhi looked at Linfeng. Her lips pursed, but since Linfeng had spoken like this, he must have some plan in mind.
”Fine. I'll agree to it.”
Xiong Zhi gestured for Linfeng to bring out the doc.u.ments they brought.
Xiong Zhi's face became somber. ”Here. These are the findings we got on the poison used on you and on the one used against my grandfather. We ran some tests. Both poisons have the same properties. Although they are added onto different matter and have differences in potency, their effects on the person are the same and the actual toxins' basic molecular framework is the same... The poison in the incense is much stronger than what is used against you... Anyway, the conclusion is that the poison came from one source.”
Tang Yin flinched. What the...?
The head of the Xiong family was poisoned...? Big news.
She heard some rumors before that Xiong De who was in prison got arrested due to attempted murder.
The medium might be this poison.
Lu Yin Ze frowned. ”How come this appeared in the Xiong estate? This is a poison that my father and brother's men created. Did they sell it to some underground channels?”
”No, I don't think so. Do you think your father will lose the opportunity to monopolize the product and announce his trump card to the world, before he could even accomplish his goals?” Linfeng asked.
Lu Yin Ze's frown deepened. ”...No. My father will choose the method that will bring more benefits to him. He will not spread this right way. It's too risky, people can study it and create an antidote during the timeframe when his plan is still ongoing.”
”You are right. Then one thing is clear. It means that the people behind the poisoning on you and my grandfather is likely the same person, or the same group of people. It is no doubt, it is your father and brother.”
The room was silent.
Xiong Zhi continued to speak slowly. ”But there is another question that popped up which I do not understand. How is Guan Gao Huan involved with the Lu family?”
Tang Yin almost dropped her jaw. But she held it in and tried to look serious and composed as if she was also in the know.
