817 Only Said That He Wanted to Meet Lin Nuan! (2/2)
Lin Nuan had no idea what had happened and was perplexed. After some hesitation, Liu Mingchen's father still explained the situation over the phone. Liu Mingchen had privately purchased a pharmaceutical factory and started mass-producing Abinoque, selling it at a low price. He was sued as a result of this.
Lin Nuan suddenly recalled how Bai Xiaonian seemed to have mentioned during Christmas that her father was now taking a new medicine that had similar effects to Abinoque. The price difference was tremendous, costing less than a hundred yuan or so. Lin Nuan couldn't remember the details well.
Bai Xiaonian said that many people had started to take this Abinoque replacement since it was cheaper.
Could it be… that it was Liu Mingchen?
As the youngest Nobel Prize recipient in the country, Lin Nuan felt great respect for Liu Mingchen.
Liu Mingchen was the young master of the Liu family and hadn't experienced pain and agony in his life. He was an extreme idealist. Lin Nuan still remembered how he appeared to be filled with righteous indignation when he was on the show.
She knew that Liu Mingchen's goal wasn't in earning money, but in bringing fortune for the people.
Agreeing to the request that Liu Mingchen's father made, Lin Nuan let Uncle Hu drive to the detention center.
After arriving at the detention center, Lin Nuan saw Liu Mingchen's father and a lawyer standing at the entrance. His father was dressed in a thin suit, frowning deeply while smoking. There were a lot of cigarette butts next to his leather shoes.
Seeing Lin Nuan open the car door and get out, Liu Mingchen's father threw away the cigarette he was halfway into and looked in her direction.
Lin Nuan bent over and said to Uncle Hu, ”Uncle Hu, you can go back first. Otherwise, you'll be late to fetch Tuan Tuan. After I'm done with things here, I'll use an app to call for a ride back!”
Uncle Hu took a look at the time. It was true that he'd be late if he didn't leave to fetch Tuan Tuan now. However, he didn't feel at ease with leaving Lin Nuan there by herself. ”Madam, don't worry. I'll give the Fu residence a call and get someone to send a car to pick up Tuan Tuan. I'll stay here and wait for you. Otherwise, Sir will be angry!”
Lin Nuan was injured, so how could Uncle Hu possibly leave her at the detention center by herself? Putting aside whether Mr. Fu would be angry if he found out, even Uncle Hu himself couldn't bear to do that.
Thinking of Fu Huai'an, Lin Nuan gave in and nodded. ”Then I'll come out as soon as possible!”
”Madam, there's no hurry!” Uncle Hu smiled.
After closing the car door, Lin Nuan zipped up her down jacket and walked toward Liu Mingchen's father.
It was upon getting closer that Lin Nuan saw that the hand of Liu Mingchen's father had already been frozen until it had turned blue. Although he looked as spirited and capable as he had back when they had the meal where he tried to get Lin Nuan and Liu Mingchen together, Lin Nuan could still see the blood veins in his eyes.
After going through with the procedures, Liu Mingchen's father and Lin Nuan entered the detention center. Liu Mingchen's father said that at around three or four that morning, Liu Mingchen hadn't gone home and was instead working overtime at the pharmaceutical factory to rush out a batch of medicine. It was then that the police had suddenly barged in to arrest Liu Mingchen, saying that he was producing and selling fake medicine!
Liu Mingchen's father had spent a lot of effort to suppress the news, wanting to resolve the matter using money before it was blown up!
However, he hadn't expected that Liu Mingchen wouldn't be cooperative at all. He wasn't willing to be bailed out and only said that he wanted to meet Lin Nuan!
Liu Mingchen's father had no other choice but to bring Lin Nuan over…
A few days ago, someone had taken a video of the scene in which Lin Nuan blocked a vase for Fang Yan. Liu Mingchen's father also knew that Lin Nuan's arm was hurt and thus felt bad for calling her there.
Unlike Liu Mingchen's mother, Liu Mingchen's father didn't conduct himself with an air of superiority. He lowered his stance, acting like a father who had been put through the vicissitudes of life, one who was feeling helpless against his son and was asking for a favor from someone else.
The Liu Mingchen that Lin Nuan saw in the detention center was different from how she remembered him. The face that usually appeared clean, graceful, and elegant now had stubble on it. However, he was still good-looking, making him look even more mature and giving him a prestigious feeling.
