Chapter 143

Sui Yan scooped another large bite of rice.

Ah well, she would tell her silly little brother about these things later.

They had just mentioned Liu Man when Liu Hua received a call from her as they were finishing their meal.

Sui Yan munched on a cheese stick, her eyes bright as she watched Liu Hua chatting on the phone with Liu Man.

Xu Mo sidled up and plopped down right next to his sister: "Sister, I want some too!"

If his sister didn't give him any, then he would... he would...

Not buy her snacks for three days!

"Here, have them all." However, Sui Yan generously emptied the whole bag of snacks into her brother's lap.

Xu Mo was a bit taken aback: "Sister, why are you giving me so much today?"

Sui Yan glared at him: "What do you mean 'today'? I always give you this much!"

Xu Mo fell silent for two seconds: "Oh."

If his sister said so, then it must be true.

Sui Yu watched the two kids and lightly kicked Xu Mo: "Little Mo, go get me some water."

Xu Mo replied coldly: "No."

Sui Yu silently shifted his gaze to his sister: "Ah Yan..."

"Go, go, go! Why are you always asking my sister to do things for you!" Xu Mo angrily flung a pillow onto the sofa and very reluctantly went to get Sui Yu some water.

Sui Yu calmly accepted the glass of hot water that his younger brother carefully brought over: "You're showing quite a bit of favoritism, aren't you?"

Xu Mo waved his finger: "It's not favoritism, you two don't even qualify for any 'treatment' from me."

Sui Yu wasn't too bothered as he smiled: "Well, I still treat you pretty well."

Although Xu Mo felt the same way in his heart, he still scoffed arrogantly.

Liu Hua finally finished her phone call with Liu Man and stretched lazily: "You guys, stop messing around and go to bed."

Sui Yu cleared his throat: "Mom, Dad and Brother Qing Rui sent a message. They said they've found the mastermind."

Liu Hua was taken aback: "The mastermind? For Ah Yan's case?"

Sui Zhi, who had also seen the message, frowned as he explained: "Yes, remember when Ah Yan was little, a family came looking for her, claiming their daughter was Ah Yan's friend? The police came too back then. It's that family."

Qiao Ze added: "That family had caused trouble for Ah Yan several times before, even though they were never successful. They also offended the Qi family. A few years ago, Uncle Sui and Qi Linhan's father took that family to court together."

Qi Linhan's brow furrowed slightly: "The two from that family who went to prison will be out soon. The mastermind they found this time is that family's son - the girl's brother."

Sui Yu leaned back: "I also have some evidence here proving that the girl was involved in this incident too."

The amount of information was overwhelming. Liu Hua was momentarily dazed: "But... that girl was around Nian Nian's age back then, right? So she should only be seventeen or eighteen now? How could she..."

Xu Yi's brow, which had just relaxed moments ago, furrowed tightly again: "Do we have enough evidence?"

Sui Yu remained calm: "Logically speaking, no. They deliberately planned this for these few days because the surveillance cameras in our neighborhood are under maintenance during this period."

Liu Hua caught on to a particular word: "'Logically speaking'? So what about now?"

Sui Zhi looked a bit displeased yet impressed: "Qi Linhan hacked into that family's computers and phones. He traced the deleted files and found some useful things."

Xu Yi seemed to understand a bit about this and looked quite impressed: "That's really impressive."

Even the thick-skinned Qi Linhan felt a bit embarrassed: "I just did what I could."

Sui Yan, who had been listening to the discussion about herself, scratched her head in a daze: "Brother, are you talking about Lu Yunling?"

Sui Yu sensed something was a bit off: "Ah Yan, you still remember her? Didn't she drop out of school very early on?"

Sui Yan admitted honestly: "She dropped out when I was in elementary school, but then I think she came back for a while later. I used to see her at school quite often back then. Then later on, she seemed to have stopped coming to school altogether, but I saw her on the street a few more times."

Those few sentences almost gave the adults a fright. Liu Hua was so anxious that she grabbed her daughter's hand and slapped it hard.

"Slap!"

"You silly child! Why didn't you tell anyone about this?"

Sui Yan was a little aggrieved after being slapped: "But I didn't know she was that bad!"

She vaguely remembered Lu Yunling insulting her before, but she had long stopped caring about such words.

Xu Mo, who had been confused throughout, slowly started to understand: "Sister, I think it would be better if someone came to pick you up from school from now on."

Liu Hua pursed her lips: "I'll discuss it with the research institute as soon as possible, and then we'll move to the Capital, not stay here anymore."

Xu Yi gently held Liu Hua's hand: "Xiao Hua, don't be hasty. We need to make that family pay first."

Liu Hua's movement to stand up halted, and she slowly sat back down: "Yes, make them pay the price..."

Qiao Ze pondered for a while before speaking: "This incident isn't actually that difficult to handle, especially since Ah Yan is now someone the National Research Institute values greatly."

No matter what happened, as long as it involved the nation, it would absolutely not be simple.

Upon hearing this, Qi Linhan frowned, feeling like he had forgotten something useful from his previous life.

In his previous life, Lu Yunling had been so fixated on Ah Yan...

Qi Linhan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head: "Lu Yunling also has some knowledge of pharmaceutical research!"

The comment was so sudden that everyone froze.

Qi Linhan continued: "So it makes sense, right? Lu Yunling was Ah Yan's 'friend', and they were both interested in pharmacology. But Ah Yan was very talented, so Lu Yunling was jealous of her."

There did seem to be such a connection in his previous life. He didn't interact much with Lu Yunling then, so he didn't know the details. He could ask Shen Niannian about it tomorrow.

But in this life, there had to be such a connection.

Once Qi Linhan explained it that way, the others understood. Only Sui Yan corrected one point: "She wasn't my friend. I gave her a chance back then, but she didn't want it."

Liu Hua grabbed the young lady's arm: "That's not important. The important thing is... Little Qi, do we have any 'evidence' that can prove that girl wanted Sui Yan's prescription?"

Qi Linhan smiled: "Of course we do."

He would go and check the contents of the Lu family's communication tools again tonight. The evidence, no matter what, would be there.
