An Exclusive love-Chapter 443 - Those Two Guys Died
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!”
“Master, do you suspect Long Zhen’ao?” Scar shook his head. “He is not in the video.”
Jiang Rui smiled. “He did it on purpose. He wants to see if we have found him. Long Zhen’ao is very careful. Since he has made an attempt, he will take action soon.”
“We have been spying on Han Xueying. So if anything happens at his house, we’ll know. But if it’s in the school…” Scar thought for a minute then said, “Tuan Zi shouldn’t go to school in the coming days.”
“I’ll talk to her. She is very stubborn.” Jiang Rui stood up nervously.
That afternoon, he first went to the school to pick up Tuan Zi on purpose. Then he drove to the store to pick up Chen Chen.
On the way, they started to talk.
“Dad, now that he is about to take action, how can I not be there?” Tuan Zi looked firm. “Just let him take me!”
Jiang Rui’s face turned dark. “Nonsense. How could I explain it to your mother? Besides, I’ll never let my daughter take a risk.”
“I have the good stuff made by Grandpa, which can resist any kind of communicators that are used to shield the signal.” Tuan Zi smiled proudly. “Once I reach the island, you’ll have a spy there!”
Now Jiang Rui was so regretful that he had told Tuan Zi so much about it.
“No way. You have to go to the Wan family tomorrow.” Jiang Rui looked at her and added, “Why are you in such a hurry now that I’m not worried?”
Tuan Zi pouted and stopped talking.
Chen Chen didn’t know about the dispute between them so she proudly announced that Jiang Rui had lost Tuan Zi’s favor when she noticed the situation.
“Liuliu, I have something to discuss with you,” Jiang Rui said in front of the whole family during dinner. “We suspect that Long Zhen’ao is already here and his target is Tuan Zi. So I want to send her to the island owned by the Wan family.”
Chen Chen was shocked by his words. “Long Zhen’ao is here? Where is he?”
“It’s just a suspicion.” Jiang Rui decided to keep it from her. “But I don’t want to risk it. What do you think?”
“There is no need to discuss it. Send her there tomorrow.” Chen Chen stood up and quickly went into the room. “I’ll pack for Tuan Zi.”
Jiang Rui gave Tuan Zi a look, which meant that she should be obedient to this arrangement. Tuan Zi didn’t even look at him. She just groaned and took Hei Zi out for a walk.
The next day, Jiang Rui got the helicopter arranged and planned to take Tuan Zi there in person.
“I won’t go with you. If my mother hears about the danger, she may not let me leave.”
Jiang Rui heard Chen Chen’s words and realized that she might be also unsafe.
“That’s right. You should go back to live too!”
Chen Chen shook her head right away. “No, I’ll stay with you!”
“Liuliu…” Jiang Rui was still worried.
“You can’t drive me away.” Chen Chen’s eyes became red. “If you do, I’ll secretly come back and go to a place that you can never find!”
Jiang Rui agreed the moment he heard those words. “Okay. Okay. You can stay with me.”
The little woman had to stay by his side in order to assure her safety. At most, he could just stay with her every day during this period.
“Mum, goodbye!” Tuan Zi and Hei Zi jumped in the helicopter, and her attitude was much better than it had been last night. The kid must think that she could just compromise now that the struggle was useless.
In the Lu family, Lu Tao’s grandpa was comforting his youngest son.
“Before the result comes out, no one is allowed to bring Jiang Rui any trouble.”
Lu Youze was in low spirits but he was not so sad. He had given up on this son a long time ago. It was lucky for him that his mistress had given birth to another son for him. Under this circumstance, it was a good chance for him to bring the secret child back.
“Dad, don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Lu Tao heard it and said on purpose, “The whole Wen family thinks that Jiang Rui did it. If they take action, should we help?”
“See how it goes first.” Old Master Jiang knocked his stick. “If the Wen family is willing to make the first move, we can help them.”
“Grandpa, let me handle it!” Lu Tao smiled and turned to leave.
He didn’t come back home. Instead, he went to a club. Today, there was a party held by Bai Ziqi, who invited him. When he was parking, Lu Tao unexpectedly noticed a very beautiful woman whom he already knew.
“Miss Han?”
Han Xueying just got the news from Song Chunli and knew that Bai Ziqi would come to have dinner here. She was thinking about how to arrange an accidental encounter when she heard somebody calling her.
“You’re… Mr. Lu?” She revealed a surprised smile on the surface but inside, she felt annoyed. If it was not for the man, she wouldn’t have been slapped by Bai Weirong in public.
