Chapter 39: The Absentee Murder Case (7)

  However, once Xia Zhu knew who Jenny was, that unpleasantness instantly vanished.

  "Lin Yuan's mother?" Xia Zhu was somewhat surprised, and thinking back to Lin Yuan's attitude when he mentioned his mother earlier, Xia Zhu felt a bit puzzled: "He... seems to be not very close to his mom."

  "It's a pity that he can't become a good person, after all his mother has always believed in that old man," Zou Mianyuan rarely spoke behind someone's back, but now he couldn't help but say with some frustration: "After all, she is his mother, and they won't be estranged no matter what. Just look at him now, still the same as before, I reckon it's quite hard for him to bear in his heart."

  Xia Zhu calmed down and took a few steps forward, only to see Lin Yuan holding a thick stack of papers in his hand, but he hadn't moved for a long time.

  "What's wrong?" She tried to make her voice softer and turned sideways to look at that thing.

  Lin Yuanxi didn't avoid Xia Zhu, handing that thing over to Xia Zhu to look at, while he himself stretched out his hand to dig into his pocket for cigarettes. When he thought of something, he stopped the action and fixed his gaze outside the window, unable to discern any emotions in his eyes.

  That was an equity transfer agreement, together with the consent text signed by other shareholders, which had already reached a sufficient percentage for the transfer, and even included a tax payment certificate attached to the last page. Xia Zhu looked at it for a while, feeling a little moist in her eyes.

  "This thing was signed a week ago, and it seems that Mother has been looking for an opportunity to send it out." Lin Yuan's calm voice said word by word: "Her actions are all under the surveillance of Lin Hesheng, I don't know how she managed to send this thing out."

  Xia Zhu wanted to say something, but felt a severe blockage in her throat. After a while, Lin Yuanxi stretched out his hand and Xia Zhu was stunned. A thin sheet of paper flew out from the file in her hand. Just as she was about to bend down, Lin Yuanxi moved even faster and had already picked up the page.

  That was a letter written by Lin Yuan's mother to him.

  It wasn't until much later, when Xia Zhu was cleaning up, that she finally knew the contents of the letter. It was also because of this letter that she suddenly realized Lin Yuan's temperament was just like his mother's - simple yet stubborn.

  Lin Yuanxi finished reading the letter, then put it aside. After a while, as if remembering something, she carefully folded the thin paper and handed it to Xia Zhu: "Help me keep it."

  He still had that air of superiority, looking down on others with disdain. Xia Zhu didn't say a word, only nodded and carefully tucked the letter into her personal file folder, then put it in the inner pocket of her bag: "Mm, don't worry."

  Lin Yuanxi looked at Xia Zhu with a glance, and his furrowed brow relaxed slightly: "Let's go."

  "Yes." Xia Zhu followed obediently.

  Zou Mianyuan saw the two coming out and said: "Which side are you going to watch?"

  Bi Tianqi raised his head and said, "For now, Lin Lüsheng is still in the hospital, and it's said that he has already escaped life-threatening danger. Sheng Yuan is still unconscious, and the doctors are doing their best to diagnose him. Li Yuchi and others have been taken into custody by us. Lin Yuannian, tsk, this woman has gone mad with emotions."

  Lin Yu's eyebrows rose slightly as she was about to ask something, but after a moment's thought, she looked at Xia Zhu instead: "Going to see Sheng Yuan?"

  Xia Zhu nodded naturally.

  "By the way," Lin Yuanxi said to Zou Muyuan, "Help me convey a message. The shares of the Lin Group are now 20% in my hands, and there's more... They have completely lost their qualification to inherit shares from Lin Hesheng due to being suspected of murder."

  Lin Yuanxu's expression was slightly mocking, and after a moment of silence, he added another sentence: "Also, this is a greeting from my mother."

  Zou Mianyuan raised an eyebrow and nodded seriously: "Got it, don't worry."

  Lin Yuanxi looked at Zou Muyuan and said, "I owe you one."

  "Less," Zou Mu Yuan's eyebrows relaxed: "If I and Sheng Yuan really counted with you, no matter how many times we counted, it wouldn't be too much."

  Lin Yuanqi didn't make another sound, waving his hand for Xia Zhu to follow him as they headed to the hospital.

  Ba Tianqi pushed the table and stood up, his tone was low and mysterious: "Don't you think that when Lin Yuan called Xia Zhuo, that gesture... seemed like he was calling a pet?"

  Zou Mianyuan sniffled: "Actually, it's fine if you just say it directly."

  Bi Tianqi looked up at the sky: "I'm afraid he'll beat me."

  That's right, Lin Yuanqi is indeed unreasonable like this.

  Zou Mianyuan lost his smile, patted Bi Tianqi's shoulder: "Let's get down to business, otherwise I'll beat you up next. Investigate Lin Yuan and Yang Yan's background, especially Yang Yan."

  He can make such a crazy move, and behind his back, he says no one instructed him, but he really doesn't believe it.

  Fortunately, Lin Yuanxi had taken a photo of everything with the cuff button on his hand, otherwise Lin Yuan would not have acknowledged it and estimated that it was still troublesome. Thinking about how Lin Yuan would react when he heard the news from Lin Yuanxi, Zou Mianyuan touched his chin, feeling somewhat expectant...

  Lin Yuan and Xia Zhu arrived at the hospital when the surgical lights in front of Shengyuan's door had just gone out. The doctor came out to see them, his expression slightly relaxed: "He has escaped life-threatening danger, what medicine was used? It is very rare, only passive therapy can be adopted."

  Xia Zhu felt her heart beating faster with the doctor's words, and couldn't help but ask: "Thank you, Doctor. I'd like to ask... will this medicine have any side effects?"

  The doctor's expression was serious and he shook his head: "It's hard to say, it depends on the patient's physical condition and mental strength. Finally, this kind of neurotoxin is best if we can know its original formula."

  Xia Zhu said thank you repeatedly, Lin Yuanxiao's expression slightly condensed: "In the end, this matter is still related to Xi Zhen."

  "What?" Xia Zhu was somewhat surprised: "The formula for neurotoxin should be obtainable from Li Yuchi and the others, right?"

  Lin Yuan sneered and shook his head: "They want to see Xi Zhen, what do you think it's for?"

  "Ah, these two people seem to be quite content with their lives, and I haven't heard that they sell these poisonous drugs at a high price before... so... it's likely that they are just pursuing spiritual satisfaction, and precisely because of this, they may need Xi Zhan's support in the research of poisonous drugs."

  She herself was stunned: "Does Xi Bao even understand poisonous medicine?"

  Lin Yuanxu was silent for a long time, his voice somewhat like a sigh: "As long as he wants to, there's nothing he can't understand." After a moment, he said: "Xia Zhu, Xi Zuo is a genius in some sense."

  Xia Zhu was silent for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter: "Yuan Qi is also a genius!"

  Lin Yuan shook his head: "Let's go, go see Shengyuan."

  Shengyuan's eyes were tightly closed as he lay in his hospital bed, an oxygen mask covering his face and numerous tubes inserted into his body, still unconscious.

  Xia Zhu looked at him for a long time and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's only in the hospital that you feel birth, aging, illness and death are all especially easy."

  Lin Yuan covered her icy fingers without changing his expression, and his unconsoling nature made him hold back for a long time before finally saying, "It'll definitely be fine."

  "I will never be impulsive again." Xia Zhu's voice was soft, but the pain and regret in it were audible.

  Lin Yuan didn't know how to continue and could only use actions to comfort her.

  After a while, Xia Zhu suddenly leaned down and stared at Sheng Yuanchao's moving lips, asking in confusion: "Is he saying something?"

  Lin Yuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he also bent down, staring intently at Shengyuan's motionless lips. After a while, he nodded: "It's a word, or a name."

  "What's your name?" Xia Zhu opened her eyes wide.

  "White tree, or perhaps it's a cypress."

  The cause of death will be discussed later, yes.

  So, I hope it can warm everyone up a bit and not be so scary, covering face.

  Mumu da...
