Chapter 464: He Will Solve Everything For Her

~7 min read 1,291 words

"I'm going to take a call."

Jiang Baobao said this to Cai Xiaotang and quickly turned to leave the room.

She walked straight toward the corner of the hallway, pulled open the door to a restroom, and only then answered the phone.

"Hello? Xinaijie?"

Jiang Baobao lowered her voice, afraid of being overheard.

"Baobao, I succeeded!"

Liu Xin'ai's voice sounded somewhat excited. Without waiting for Jiang Baobao to reply, she spoke with rare speed: "I have finished the antidote for Cheng Hao's experiment. Although I can't guarantee whether it will be effective, I have tried my best to minimize the risks. At most, he might experience some adverse reactions like drowsiness, dizziness, or vomiting. If the medication fails, it won't cause any damage to his brain!"

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao's expression also became somewhat excited.

Immediately after, she heard Liu Xin'ai continue: "But in order to reduce the risk, the original therapeutic effect might be compromised. Cheng Hao might not have any very obvious reaction, or it's possible he might remember some fragmented things. We will need to observe carefully at that time to determine the subsequent treatment plan..."

"Good! Grandma has already agreed, we can go and have my uncle try the medicine at any time!"

Jiang Baobao agreed readily, her eyes full of hope.

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly asked: "Then when do you have time?"

"I..."

Jiang Baobao paused, only then remembering where she was.

She pondered for two seconds and replied: "I'm not in the city for these two days, I probably won't be able to go back until tomorrow night. Is the day after tomorrow afternoon okay?"

"Okay, then let's meet the day after tomorrow afternoon. I can take these two days to perfect it further and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

Liu Xin'ai agreed.

The two of them set the time, and only then did Jiang Baobao hang up the phone.

She pulled the door open and walked out, full of joy, but just as she stepped out, her footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Li Beijue was standing not far from the restroom, looking in this direction.

A flash of nervousness quickly crossed Jiang Baobao's eyes.

When did he stand here?

Did he hear anything?

Her voice just now shouldn't have been very loud, right?

"Why did you run to the restroom here? Isn't there one in the room?"

Li Beijue spoke suddenly, his tone sounding completely normal.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality and instantly made up a random excuse: "Xiao Tang wants to take a shower, so I came here..."

Li Beijue nodded upon hearing this. Watching Jiang Baobao's nervous appearance, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Baobao didn't want to stay long either and hurriedly said: "I'm a bit tired, I'm going back to rest first."

As she spoke, she lifted her feet and walked toward the direction of the room.

When she passed by Li Beijue, however, her wrist was grabbed.

"Goodnight."

He gently spat out the two words in a low voice, and after finishing, he lightly rubbed Jiang Baobao's hair.

"Goodnight."

Jiang Baobao replied quickly, her heart suddenly feeling as if someone had slipped a small spoonful of honey into it.

She walked quickly back to the room and closed the door.

Li Beijue watched her figure disappear, but his expression gradually became somewhat probing.

He had just been discussing some matters with Li Xiao, so he happened to be passing by and heard Jiang Baobao seemingly on a call with someone.

He hadn't heard the specific content clearly, but he seemed to have heard her mention the word "Grandma."

It was Jiang Family business again...

What exactly was she doing in secret?

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he took out his phone to quickly send a message to Assistant Chen.

【How is the investigation into the Jiang Family and Lu Family matters going?】

Within a few seconds, Assistant Chen called him directly.

"President Li, I was just about to tell you, this matter seems a bit wrong."

Assistant Chen's tone was very serious.

"What's wrong?" Li Beijue's tone also became somewhat grave.

"We found that the Lu Family might indeed be doing some illegal things behind the scenes, but we haven't obtained evidence yet and need an in-depth investigation. There is also another matter..."

Assistant Chen paused for a moment before continuing: "I learned that in the companies still operating under the Jiang Family, almost all the old employees have been replaced. Everyone doesn't know the specific situation of Jiang Chenghao; there are only rumors that he became mentally disabled, but more rumors say that he was disfigured after a car accident and has never been seen since."

Li Beijue paused slightly, and after pondering for only two seconds, his expression suddenly turned stern.

For a family like the Jiang Family, which is neither big nor small, not many people would pay special attention to it.

Jiang Chenghao's car accident back then was merely fodder for gossip for those who knew about it.

If the Lu Family had blocked the news immediately, who would really care what kind of injuries he actually sustained?

Most of the real power of the Jiang Family is already in the hands of the Lu Family.

Yet they haven't truly replaced them.

If the outside world believes Jiang Chenghao is a person with a normal brain, once the Lu Family's crimes are exposed, they could easily push Jiang Chenghao out and claim he fled to avoid punishment, or committed suicide by taking drugs, which is why he became like this now.

No matter what judgment the law makes due to Jiang Chenghao's condition, the Lu Family would definitely be completely unaffected!

Assistant Chen heard Li Beijue remain silent and asked another question.

Li Beijue then snapped back to reality and replied with a cold face: "Keep investigating. It would be best to obtain concrete evidence, the sooner the better!"

Hanging up the phone, Li Beijue looked toward Jiang Baobao's room with a solemn expression.

He did not know how long he had been standing there before he finally turned around, leaving only icy coldness in his eyes.

If this was the matter she had been investigating all along...

Then he would help her resolve it as quickly as possible!

Inside the room—

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang were already lying on the bed, chatting.

The two of them had not lain together like this to sleep for a long time, and they chatted enthusiastically until the second half of the night, yet Cai Xiaotang still looked excited.

Jiang Baobao, however, was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other.

"Xiao Tang... I... I can't do it anymore... Let's talk again tomorrow..."

Jiang Baobao could not help but close her eyes, muttered a sentence, and drifted into a light sleep.

"Baobao? Baobao? Don't sleep! It's not even two o'clock yet! Get up and party!"

Cai Xiaotang pushed Jiang Baobao, and seeing that she was exhausted, she had no choice but to give up, amusedly picking up her phone to play for a while longer.

Not long after, she carefully sat up from the bed, feeling the urge to go to the restroom.

Afraid of waking the soundly sleeping Jiang Baobao, Cai Xiaotang simply opened the door and walked out, intending to use the restroom in the hallway.

But she did not expect that as soon as she opened the door, she would see a sliver of light coming from a room not far away, shining right onto the hallway floor.

It was so late...

Who was still over there?

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, and she deliberately lightened her footsteps, tiptoeing over.
