Chapter 237: Suspicion (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Beicheng and Lu Zhi shared a 30% resemblance in their facial features, but their personalities were entirely different. Lu Beicheng had a sunny and radiant disposition.

Beside him stood Lin Yan, who had a carefree smile…

Jiang Yining’s heart ached.

“Lin Yan, wherever you are, whether alive or not, you should at least give me some information,” she murmured.

After uttering these words, Jiang Yining was about to examine the contents of the draft paper. Suddenly, there was a hurried knocking at the door.

“Who’s inside? Why is the door locked? Open it quickly.”

The person outside called out a few times, but receiving no response, produced a key and prepared to unlock the door.

Jiang Yining placed the items into her pocket, regained her composure, and walked to the door.

As her hand touched the door lock, the servant from outside pushed it open.

The two of them locked eyes, and the servant asked in astonishment, “Young Mistress, why were you in Second Young Master’s room?”

And why did she lock the door? That was quite unusual.

“I was helping my mother-in-law fetch something,” Jiang Yining calmly replied and left without further explanation. With her status, there was no need to explain herself to a servant. It was best not to say too much.

Besides, Shen Man was Lu Beicheng’s mother, so it was perfectly normal for Jiang Yining to help her get something.

Although the servant had doubts, she didn’t dare to question Shen Man. What could Jiang Yining possibly be helping her fetch?

The servant watched Jiang Yining as she left, withdrew her curious gaze, and began cleaning diligently.

Jiang Yining had the draft paper on her mind and didn’t linger any longer. She quickly left the old Lu family mansion without noticing that Chen Kexin was hiding around the corner.

After Jiang Yining left, Chen Kexin entered Lu Beicheng’s room and asked, with a condescending tone, “What was Jiang Yining doing here just now?”

The servant, irritated by her superior tone, ignored her and didn’t respond.

Did she still think she was a young miss here?

Both the old master and the young master had spoken that she was now just an ordinary servant.

She had the same status as her!

Seeing the servant treat her like she was invisible, Chen Kexin stepped forward, snatched the vacuum cleaner from her hands, and angrily threw it on the floor.

The servant became angry and pushed her, saying, “What are you doing?”

“I asked you a question, didn’t you hear me?” Chen Kexin asked in annoyance.

“I heard you. So what? Who says I have to answer you?” The servant looked disdainful.

Chen Kexin couldn’t believe it. Jiang Yining not treating her with respect was one thing, but even a lowly servant dared to be so arrogant towards her!

“Get lost and don’t interfere with my work,” the servant said impatiently.

Chen Kexin deliberately stepped on the vacuum cleaner in opposition to her.

Seeing this, the maid raised her hand, intending to confront her.

However, before the slap could land on her face, Chen Kexin’s voice turned ominous, “Do you think that by revoking my special treatment in the Lu family, I would become just like you? Don’t forget how much the old lady adores me. As long as 1 tell her that you’ve bullied me, you won’t be able to stay in the Lu family any longer!”

“I didn’t bully you. It’s you who started this!” The maid withdrew her hand.

“Is that so?” Chen Kexin raised her hand and slapped herself forcefully in the face, saying, “Do you think that I, looking like this, would make the old lady believe you or me?” Her fair and delicate face clearly displayed a reddened mark.

The maid was intimidated by her ruthlessness and couldn’t find the words to respond.

Chen Kexin demanded sternly, “Tell me honestly, what did Jiang Yining do just now?”

The maid, with no other choice, proceeded to provide an honest account.

In the end, she said, “I swear, I didn’t see Young Mistress do anything. When I entered, she was already at the door.”

Jiang Yining had entered Lu Beicheng’s room sneakily, clearly doing something secretive.

Back when that woman surnamed Jiang insisted on marrying Ah Zhi, Chen Kexin had sensed that something was off. Now, with her behaving so suspiciously, it might be related to her purpose for marrying into the Lu family. Chen Kexin was determined to uncover the truth.

Perhaps it would become the last trump card to defeat Jiang Yining.

“Get out. I’ll take care of the cleaning,” Chen Kexin ordered the maid.

“But…”

“No ‘buts.’ You do as I say, and you’ll be able to keep your position in this old mansion. You wouldn’t want to lose such a good job at your age, would you?”

The Lu family never mistreated its servants, paying employees many times more than the average wage.

A maid’s salary could support an entire family. Consequently, the maids cherished their jobs.

Under Chen Kexin’s threat, the maid had no choice but to leave the room.

Chen Kexin stayed in the room, searching for any suspicious signs.

However, after a thorough search, she found nothing amiss.

Exhausted, she leaned against the wall, stubbornly determined to discover any hidden secrets. In a house this large, there had to be some oversight. All the visible areas appeared to be without significant issues…

Chen Kexin pondered for a while and then crouched down, searching in every nook and cranny.

Finally…

She noticed a button by the bed and instinctively pressed it.

As a result, she saw a hidden compartment pop open.

Chen Kexin felt a rush of excitement. She had found it!

She knelt on the floor, discovered that the compartment was empty, but she still couldn’t shake off her curiosity. Unexpectedly, in a corner, she felt a small black bottle.

Chen Kexin took it out and examined it carefully, unable to discern its contents.

Nonetheless, she handled it with caution and decided to put it away.

She thought it best to make plans after finding out more from someone else.

Jiang Yining returned home, placed the photos in a drawer, and locked it. Then, she carefully examined the contents of the draft paper.

In the end, she reached a conclusion.

The draft paper contained equations related to the refinement of “Curium”.

Combined with the final formula that Shen Man had shown her, now she had the entire process of mining, refining, and applying Curium.

This process was highly efficient, and the energy produced could be used in various fields.

Jiang Yining wasn’t an expert in chemistry, but she understood the significance of this!

Lu Beicheng must have possessed the knowledge of refining Curium energy, which was why he had been targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

The question was, who was this person?

What was their purpose in desperately seeking the refinement of Curium ore?

With Lu Beicheng’s status and position, it shouldn’t have been difficult for him to protect himself. So why had he never mentioned it to anyone in the Lu family? Unless the other party had some leverage over him or had threatened him in some way.

It must be the case!

Jiang Yining analyzed the situation with a clear mind.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the knocking at the door from outside.

Lu Zhi stood at the door, knocking several times without receiving a response.

He decided to open the door.

Seeing her sitting there in a daze, he walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder.

“What are you thinking about?” he asked.

Jiang Yining was startled, “Why did you suddenly come in?”

“I knocked on the door, you didn’t hear me,” Lu Zhi replied, his gaze casually sweeping over the drafting paper on the table. He asked, “I thought you were studying IT. Since when did you become interested in chemistry?”

Jiang Yining pretended to be composed, picked up a book to cover the draft paper, stood up, and said, “Don’t forget, I’m a doctor. I’m working on the development of new medicines. Those chemical formulas on top are for drug synthesis.”

“Is that so?” Lu Zhi asked in a nonchalant tone, whether he believed her or not was unclear.

Jiang Yining changed the subject, “Why did you come to see me? Is there something you need?”

“All, yes. Gu Zhanqing called and said your sister has arrived in A-City..”
