Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 629 - 450 Ridiculous Idea_3

Old Gu stood up, his face stern as he looked out the window, "So, Ye Cheng is currently inconvenient to reclaim his identity, precisely to reinvestigate this case. After so many years, we must give the victims and their families an explanation."

"Grandpa, do you suspect there’s a mastermind behind this?"

"What else?"

Xiaofeng nodded, there must be a hidden hand. If not, how could there be an issue with those people’s information? Compared to the staff’s negligence, the possibility of someone tampering with the data was the greatest.

Someone didn’t want the authorities to reach the relatives of the casualties.

Thinking of Lan Shuixian’s family situation, then thinking of Men Chao, Xiaofeng had a suspicion, "Grandpa, is it possible that the uncontactable relatives of the casualties only had children left at home?"

If that were the case, this mastermind would be too terrifying.

"Explain yourself?"

"Look, if their families only have children left, like Men Chao here, they would end up being adopted or sent to orphanages. In this way, it would be all too easy for someone to get close to them or even control them." Could such a possibility exist?

"But we still have no evidence to prove this possibility at the moment." Old Gu’s bushy eyebrows knitted together, and if it truly were the case, the adversary’s nefarious intentions would be clear as day.

"The possibility that the wife has speculated is not without merit." Ye Cheng emerged from the house, "Grandpa, according to the situation I have now, it is quite similar to what the wife has guessed. The children of the uncontacted casualties were mostly sent to orphanages or adopted by others."

"It seems this case must be resolved once and for all."

"It’s not just about resolving the case, we also have to find the mastermind behind it." Ye Cheng’s face was grave.

...

Men Chao returned to the Xu Family, where an elderly man was waiting for him.

Seeing him, Men Chao respectfully greeted, "Master."

The old man, dressed in a green robe with his black hair tied up, exuded an aura of being a practiced cultivator.

Seeing Men Chao return, he smiled kindly, "Chao’er, you’re back."

"When did you come back, Master? I thought you had wandered the seas and didn’t want to come back." Men Chao helped the elder sit down.

"Master." Yin Li also greeted him with a respectful "Master."

This master was the martial arts teacher that the Xu Family had found for them years ago. Because he had treated them well, the relationship was good.

"It’s just that I heard some news that you had taken over as the Family Head of the Xu Family, so I came back especially to see how you were doing," said the old man with a soft sigh, "You married Miss Xu and took over the Xu Family, which is also your good fortune."

"I must thank you for your teachings, Master."

"It’s your own skill, it has little to do with me," the old man waved his hand dismissively.

The old man exchanged a few pleasantries with Men Chao before leaving.

Wearing a casual greatness about him, the old man was clearly a man of cultivation.

"Men Chao, are you really going to reinvestigate the explosion case from back then?"

"Of course, we must investigate. It has always been a thorn in my heart. Besides, it’s a blemish on all of them. If I don’t point these blemishes out, they won’t admit to them."

"But so many years have passed, some things might not be so easy to look into."

"There should still be a clear resolution in the end."

...

At seven o’clock in the evening, Lan Shuixian took out the ginseng wine that Old Gu had given her, took a small sip, and fell asleep.

She hadn’t been asleep for five minutes when she got up.

Her sister, seeing her rise, mumbled groggily, "Sister, are you going out?"

"I just remembered, I have to cover a shift for someone tonight, almost forgot. You all go back to sleep," Lan Shuixian touched her sister’s face, preparing to leave.

Lan Shuixian sat in front of the mirror, looking at the person reflected with a smile at the corner of her lips.

It was just past seven, and she had woken up.

She casually took the bottle beside her, which contained the wine Old Gu had given to Lan Shuixian. It was after drinking a bit of this stuff that she fell asleep.

The other person had slept so soundly, and naturally, she woke up.

In other words, if she wanted to stay in Lan Shuixian’s body for a long period, all she had to do was get Lan Shuixian drunk.

That said, Su Xiaofeng ended up doing her a big favor.

She looked at the bottle’s contents; it was just ordinary rice wine, nothing special to look at, but the effect this wine produced was incomparable to other alcohols.

It seemed to be ginseng wine, it looked like the ginseng inside was what made it work.

As long as she had this wine on her, could she then control Lan Shuixian’s body at will in the future? She could appear whenever she wanted, and when she didn’t want to, she could let Lan Shuixian come out.

It seemed she had to figure out a way to get Su Xiaofeng to get her more ginseng wine.
