âI heard from my mother that she was kidnapped and injected with something when she was pregnant with Qingliu. When she returned to the Lu family, my grandmother and my father looked for many doctors, but they couldnât find anything. Qingliu was about to be born at that time, and my mother couldnât bear to part with him, so she chose to give birth to Qingliu.â
Lu Qingzhuo spoke slowly.
Because he remembered the past, his eyes were a little empty, with some nostalgia.
âFortunately, Qingliu was still quite healthy, but his immunity was weak and his body was weak and sickly. Our family took good care of him and raised him until he was eleven years old. Suddenly, one day, Qingliu fainted. From then on, he never got out of the hospital bed.â
Lu Qingzhuo sighed.
âWe searched for famous doctors, but we couldnât find a way to treat Qingliu. Iâve also been secretly tracking down the people who kidnapped my mother. Later, I found out that they were hiding in Rong city. In order to find out what they injected my mother with, I went to Rong city, but I was ambushed. When I woke up, I couldnât move my legs.â
âDo you still remember what happened before you were ambushed?â He Youran asked.
âI was directly knocked unconscious, and then my body suddenly became very hot. I seemed to feel something, but I didnât. When I woke up, there was no one around me. My clothes were torn, and there was a lot of blood.â
He Youran pondered.
âYouran, what about you?â Lu Qingzhuo asked.
âThat day, my stepmother, Chen Meiyu, wanted me to celebrate my birthday. It was my first birthday in the He family.âI was very happy and drank a lot of wine. Later, I was carried to some place in a daze. Then, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I...â
He Youran couldnât help but frown when she thought of the unbearable past.
Knowing that those memories werenât good for He Youran, Lu Qingzhuo quickly hugged her and comforted her in a low voice.
âThey deserve to die!â
He angrily reprimanded Chen Meiyu and the others and said gently,
âBut, itâs also because of them that we are fated to be together today.â
âBut, I donât know if I did before you...â He Youran said hesitantly.
âNo,â Lu Qingzhuo swore. âWhen I woke up, there was a lot of blood on my body. I think I had a fight with someone.â
After he said that, he said worriedly, âIâm worried about something else now.â
âWhat is it?â He Youran asked.
âA pharmaceutical factory,â Lu Qingzhuo said. âThe clue I found at that time was an abandoned pharmaceutical factory in Rong city. After that, I was ambushed. I can confirm that although that pharmaceutical factory looked abandoned, it was actually under private supervision.â
âDid you investigate it later?â
âI did, but I still couldnât find anything.â
âSpeaking of which, thereâs something strange.â He Youran suddenly thought of something.
âWhat is it?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHe Yaobaiâs situation is very similar to yours and Qingliuâs. I suspect that he was also injected with a special drug.â
âWhy is that?â Lu Qingzhuo was puzzled. âWhy did those people attack the Lu and He families?â
âItâs simple.â Old Madam Lu listened for a while and suddenly said, âThe Lu and He families are the two largest families in China. They are in charge of Chinaâs economic lifeline. If they subdue us, it will be a big blow to China.â
âThen the other families...â Lu Qinglan scratched her head. âItâs not like we are the only two families in China. Without us, the other families will rise as well.â
âHow can you be sure that the other families donât have such a situation? âOld Madam Lu looked at her meaningfully, âFor example, the Gu family in Rong City, why are they so persistent about Youranâs motherâs pharmaceutical factory?â
