“Yes.” Chen Chen didn’t know what he was going to do. “But I never make such a kind of medicine.”
Jiang Rui nodded. “I know. I just want to use it to hypnotize Song Chunli.”
“I understand!” Chen Chen certainly did not believe that he would do something wrong. “But your situation… Can I be allowed to go to the army laboratory?”
“I’ll have Bear pick you up tomorrow.” Jiang Rui paused and said, “Don’t worry. Take your time. ”
The next day, Chen Chen went to the laboratory alone and found that the spots on Ah Zi’s body were gone.
“Well, they disappeared yesterday. I was about to ask you to hang out with me when you came in.” She curled herself up on the sofa and complained. “I’m stifling. Please get your work done as soon as possible so we can go shopping early!”
Chen Chen was checking the medicinal materials that Hua Tuo had provided for her, saying absently, “We can go shopping, but not today. Ask Bear to go shopping with you!”
“What about tomorrow?” Ah Zi didn’t give up. At this time, she thought that she would have a better time if she went shopping and eating delicious food with her best friend.
“In three days at least.” Chen Chen got dressed and pushed open the door of the lab.
Bear would certainly not let go of such an opportunity. After preparing lunch for Chen Chen, he left with Ah Zi. He was just responsible for paying for whatever Ah Zi wanted to buy. Ah Zi was so happy that she hugged him and kissed him.
“This is the life I have always dreamed of! Hahaha!”
Bear was about to lose his head after being praised by Ah Zi. “So come on. Let’s get married!”
“OK!”
“You see, I… What?” Bear was stunned to hear her words. “What did you just say?”
Ah Zi chuckled. “I said it. Forget it if you didn’t hear it.”
“Say it again! Say it again!” Bear hugged her and shook her body. Ah Zi pushed him away. “Treat me with delicious food first. Then, it depends on what you will do for me!”
It was about his marriage. Bear racked his brains and decided to take Ah Zi to the most expensive restaurant in the capital. He planned to coax Ah Zi into marrying him while she was drunk. However, before they finished dinner, his phone had rung.
“Hello,” Bear said angrily.
Apparently, the person on the other side of the phone could discern his anger. After a while, Bear was about to hang up when that person finally said, “Hello, it’s Zhou Yiyun.”
In Ronghua Hall, Lu Yu said with Zhou Yiyun in his arms, “You can’t leave today. Jiang Rui knows you, but so what? He has been suspended, and how could you scare me in the name of Jiang Rui? Hahaha. Come on. Be a good girl. It’s not the first time anyway.”
“Even if my boss has just been suspended, he can kill you as easily as crushing a cockroach.” Bear pushed open the door and came in. “It was you. How dare you take her away by force? Who the hell are you?”
Lu Yu was startled, but got tough when he saw clearly that it was Bear. “It’s you? Doesn’t Jiang Rui dare to come here?” He pulled Zhou Yiyun, who was about to run, and said, “She must sleep with me today. What can you do to deal with me?”
“It’s very simple.” Bear took out his gun and pointed it at Lu Yu’s head. “What a fool! I hold a military rank. Even if I kill you now and tell others that you tried to take away my girlfriend, no one can do anything to me.”
“How… how dare you?” Lu Yu began to tremble. In his mind, Bear was just Jiang Rui’s follower, but he forgot that Bear’s rank was not low. At least, he could not afford to offend him.
Bear sneered at him. “Dammit. You delayed my proposal. How lucky you are! Getting shot is the least painful way to die.” He glanced at Zhou Yiyun and said, “Go.”
“Thank you!” Zhou Yiyun nodded and hurried out.
Bear patted Lu Yu on his face with the gun. “Kid, don’t play with fire if you want to live several more years. Besides, don’t cause trouble for Zhou Yiyun, for she is my boss’s friend.”
Putting his gun away, Bear spat and turned away.
At the entrance of the hall, Zhou Yiyun was still waiting for him.
“Anything else?”
Zhou Yiyun hesitated and said, “During the meal, I heard him tell others that the Lu family’s military supplies could get Jiang Rui in big trouble…”
“Are you sure that he was talking about the military supplies?” Bear asked seriously.
“Sure.” Zhou Yiyun assured him. “I didn’t hear what they had said later, but I definitely heard the words ‘military supplies’.”
Bear nodded. “Thank you. Hurry home!”
Watching Zhou Yiyun leave, Bear drove to Jiang Rui’s house.
“Hasn’t Mrs. Jiang returned yet?”
Jiang Rui asked him to come in. “Xiao Si is driving her home. Why have you come here so late?”
“There is something I think I should tell you.” Bear told Jiang Rui what Zhou Yiyun had said. “If it is true, the Lu family must have obtained the power to provide the military supplies.”
“I’m afraid that the document of approval will come soon.” Jiang Rui frowned. “It seems that the Lu family wants to take advantage of military supplies to deal with me.”
Bear swore, “Dammit! Is Mr. Bai blind? How could he cooperate with such people?”
“I guess that Bai Ziqi will be removed from the current post immediately.” Jiang Rui curled the corner of his mouth and said, “It will be Captain Gu’s turn to feel upset.”
Sure enough, the Lu family was given the power to provide military supplies one day later. Furthermore, Bai Ziqi was transferred to the special department and became one of Captain Gu’s soldiers. Before Jiang Rui had time to react, something happened to Bear.
“Boss, something bad has happened. Bear’s been taken away.” Xiao Si rushed into Jiang Rui’s house. “They’ve accused Bear of killing Lu Yu.”
On hearing this, Jiang Rui’s face clouded over and he did not speak for a long time.
“Boss, what should we do?” Xiao Si got anxious and turned round and round.
“You go back first. I think they will deal with you next.” Jiang Rui sneered. “The Lu family plans to cut off both of my hands in order to make me a mere figurehead.”
Xiao Si suddenly remembered something. “F*ck! In a few days, they will come to sign a contract and finalize the military supplies for next year.”
“Go with Tuan Zi then.”
“What?” Xiao Si was stunned and asked, “Go with Tuan Zi?”
Jiang Rui patted him on the shoulder. “Yes, and you must listen to her!”
In the special prison, Bear was locked in a small cell. Bai Ziqi opened the door and walked in. “Bear, the current evidence is against you.”
After Bear left that night, a waiter found that Lu Yu had died in a private room, and Bear’s fingerprints were everywhere. Even the bullet had the symbol of Jiang Rui’s troops. And the waiter at the door proved that no one had entered after Bear came out.
“If you’re really powerful, then shoot me!” Bear seemed to be very bold. “If not, then shut up.”
Bai Ziqi shook his head. “I believe that it was not you.”
“Oh?” Bear snorted. “Don’t pretend to be so nice. You can’t convict me, so just lock me up here. Bai Ziqi, if you really think I am innocent, go back and ask your Old Master what he did secretly.”
In the laboratory, Ah Zi cried while holding Chen Chen.
“Chen Chen, Bear did not kill anyone. He was wronged!”
“Of course!” Chen Chen comforted her. “Brother Xiao Rui said that he was framed.”
Ah Zi stamped her feet. “Then hurry to save him!”
“Ah Zi, don’t worry. Brother Xiao Rui said that Bear would be safer in the prison for now. I think they must have their own plans.”
Chen Chen patted her. “Besides, even if something really happens then, my brother and my dad will not ignore it!”
“But I feel uneasy. I want to see him.” Ah Zi bit her lip.
Scar happened to come in and hear her words. “What a coincidence! Bear wants to see you, too! Come on, I’ll take you there.”
After seeing Bear, Ah Zi flushed and kept giggling when she returned. Chen Chen finally made the hypnotic drugs and followed Jiang Rui to the Jiang family’s residence.
“Xiao Rui, why are you here? I heard that Bear was arrested.” Jiang Min was surprised to see him. “Liuliu, you are here, too. Come on and sit down.”
Jiang Rui sat down with Chen Chen. “Grandpa, it’s okay. As for Bear, I have dealt with the problem. How is Grandma?”
“She is still groggy every day. Even the doctor can do nothing about it.”
“I asked Liuliu to make the hypnotic.” Jiang Rui took out a small bottle. Chen Chen saw Jiang Min frown, and quickly explained to him, “Grandpa, don’t worry. This medicine has no side effects. And if Grandma can say what happened, it will be good for her condition.”
“Well, no.” Jiang Min waved his hand. “I’m not distrusting your medicine, but I’m afraid that she can’t answer your questions.”
Jiang Rui said, “Anyway, we can give it a try. Let’s go upstairs.”
Song Chunli leaned against the bed and stared dully at the wall, without responding to their entering.
Jiang Min helped her up, and Chen Chen carefully asked Song Chunli to take the medicine. “It will work in about three minutes.”
All three people gathered around the bed, watching Song Chunli gradually go into a daze.
“You can ask now,” Chen Chen whispered.
Jiang Rui nodded and looked at Song Chunli. “What’s your name?”
“Song Chunli.”
“What happened to you in captivity?”
Song Chunli’s eyes flickered, as if she was struggling with something. Then, she slowly said, “Injection, imprisonment, and drug tests.”
“And then? Why did they let you go?”
Seeing Song Chunli struggle again, Chen Chen hurriedly said, “Brother Xiao Rui, she is about to wake up!”
Jiang Rui asked again, “Why did they let you go?”
“I don’t know… I don’t know…” Song Chunli held her head. “It hurts. My head hurts!”
“Hold her down. I’m going to give her an injection!” Chen Chen took out a tranquilizer, while Jiang Rui and Jiang Min both held Song Chunli. She quickly calmed down after the injection, and all three people went downstairs.
Chen Chen said in surprise, “It’s impossible for her to wake up so quickly. I think she must have taken some medicine.”
“According to what she just said, such is the case,” Jiang Rui said with sharp eyes. “She should have not gone through drug tests, but she must have taken some medicine especially for her.”
Jiang Min nodded. “Anyway, there must something wrong with your grandma. I will ask someone to keep watch on her.”
“That’s the only way.” Jiang Rui glanced at the old man beside him. “Grandpa, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Otherwise…”
“What nonsense?” Jiang Min glared at him. “Don’t worry about that. Pay attention to dealing with the matters about the troops. In a few days, I will let your uncle take a vacation. On the one hand, it will make them feel that the Jiang family is scared. On the other hand, he can come back to stay with your grandma.”
While talking, they heard Song Chunli’s voice. “Stay with me?”
All three people looked back and saw her standing in front of the stairs. “Why are you two here? Didn’t you say that you would never recognize me?” Song Chunli glanced coldly at Jiang Rui and Chen Chen.
“Since you’re okay, we’ll leave now.” Jiang Rui immediately realized that Song Chunli had returned to normal. He winked at Jiang Min and pulled Chen Chen up.
