  When Ye Junci heard the words, she smiled, “If what you did with Gu Xian was good, why would he rather stay in the supermax prison for more than ten years instead of explaining himself? There were so many lives involved, and yet he is willing to just be Gu Zhen and Bai Xu’s scapegoat?”


  “My master had no evidence.” Leng Xuan said, “Gu Zhen didn’t want to study the cure of hereditary diseases. As long as the Gu family has the prescription, they can always have control over everyone. They can control Jijing Island and stabilize the Gu family’s position.”


  Ye Junci’s smile subsided.

  Leng Xuan saw the change in her expression clearly, and a gleam of light flashed in the depths of her eyes. “Regardless if this was done by Gu Zhen or my master, they both represent the Gu family.”


  Lu Chengzhou said, “Gu Mang’s father didn’t want to study hereditary diseases but Gu Xian wanted to do it, so Gu Mang’s father destroyed Base 102 for the sake of the Gu family’s status?”


  Leng Xuan turned to Lu Chengzhou, “Gu Mang is Gu Zhen’s daughter. If she really takes over Base 102, do you suppose that she will do the same as her father? She is God Ji, one of the five heads of the Killer Alliance. She may not even remember how much blood she has stained herself with. I’m sure that you know information about her very well.”


  Lu Chengzhou looked down and he rubbed his fingers on the sides of the teacup. His expression could not be made out.

  Leng Xuan said, “She came back for the drug prescription simply because she did not want to be controlled by others. We have no intention to control her, otherwise we would not have provided her the medicine every year.”


  She looked at Lu Chengzhou and there was not a single bit of change in his expression.

  Leng Xuan couldn’t tell what he was thinking. At this point, she kept quiet.

  She turned her gaze to Ye Junci again, “Madam Ye, no one knows what Gu Mang will do. She suddenly returned to Jijing Island and the moment that she did, she wanted to take over Base 102. Gu Zhen must have told her about the matters regarding Base 102 and she is now in the director’s seat. If she takes over the management of Base 102, she will only have to lift a finger if she wants to destroy the Biomedical Core Office.”


  Leng Xuan spoke very sincerely as if she was taking everyone else on Jijing Island who needed the medicine into consideration.

  Ye Junci answered, “And that is why you wish to join hands with the Ye family?”


  Leng Xuan nodded. “My experimental project has made progress. Give me a little more time, and I will definitely be able to develop a cure for the hereditary disease.”


  Ye Junci glanced at Lu Chengzhou, retracted her gaze, and put the cigarette out in the ashtray, “If you want to join forces with the Ye family, I need to know the ingredients of the drug.”


  Leng Xuan had long expected that she would make such a request, and she said with a smile, “As long as the Leng family and the Ye family join together, I will reveal the prescription.”


  “Are you done talking?” Lu Chengzhou suddenly spoke.

  Leng Xuan was shocked. She did not know what he meant by that.

  Lu Chengzhou finished his last sip of tea and put down the cup. Then, he got up and looked at Ye Junci. “I have something on, I shall take my leave first.”


  With that, he walked past the sofa and headed straight for the door.

  Leng Xuan frowned and looked at his back. “Is that a rejection?”


  Lu Chengzhou did not slow down. He pretended like he could not hear her at all.

  Leng Xuan’s face became even more displeased. “The Elders’ Association will never let me hand Base 102 over to Gu Mang. She won’t stay in the Director’s seat for long either. My suggestion can take effect anytime and Young Master Lu can come to me anytime.”


  The black clad figure went further away.

  Ye Junci bit her lip and her eyes sank.

  …


  Lu Chengzhou’s car had not yet left the Ye Manor when he received a call from Ye Junci.

  “What a good opportunity that is.” Ye Junci’s voice was heard. “You could just make a small sacrifice and deal with the rest after we get hold of the prescription. Haven’t you thought of that?”


  The car window was wound down and Lu Chengzhou rested his arm on the car door.

  He watched the trees that were moving backwards and answered calmly, “Nope.”


  Leng Xuan implied that Gu Mang had killed many people. Wasn’t it the same for him?

  This was the only thing he could hold in front of Gu Mang in a clean state, and he did not want to get that dirty.

  Ye Junci sighed softly. “You heard Leng Xuan, Gu Mang’s not in a good position right now. The both of you have no point of return. Gu Mang’s still…”


  Lu Chengzhou’s expression was dull, and his voice was nonchalant, “I have already bought the urn. It can fit all three of us.”


  Lu Yī, who was driving, looked in the rear-view camera.

  When Lu Chengzhou said this, he sounded really nonchalant as if he had made preparations for this earlier on.

  When he came to Jijing Island, he was ready to risk his life with Gu Mang.

  When Ye Junci heard this, she frowned and chided, “What nonsense?!”


  She only had one son.

  Lu Chengzhou laughed calmly, “If that’s all, I’m going to hang up.”


  He hung up and threw his phone on the seat beside him casually.

  The car was at the entrance of the Ye manor.

  Lu Chengzhou looked up and saw a car coming in this direction on the road from afar.

  “Young Master Lu, it’s Ms. Gu’s car.” Lu Yī saw it too.
