Chapter 785 785: Ye Qingxian Is Back!
Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan both sat quietly, waiting for Chen Xuan to reveal the new clues he had discovered, so they could discuss them together.
Chen Xuan didn't intentionally keep them in suspense and said softly: "From Xu Chengliang, I learned that my father mastered a new synthetic technology that can be widely applied in military and commercial fields."
"But he didn't know Lady Lan either. One thing is certain: those black-clad men who suddenly appeared came from the provincial capital."
Lin Wanxi spoke solemnly, "Based on this information, it's very likely that they are after this synthetic technology."
"In that case, the opponent's intention might not be to kill your parents, but just to kidnap him for the technology."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Yes, I think so too."
"If this hypothesis holds, then the opponent should be a powerful family in the provincial capital."
"Otherwise, an ordinary small family wouldn't be capable of doing this."
"That's right." Lin Wanxi affirmed, agreeing with Chen Xuan's statement, "This kind of technology is extremely valuable, and even if a small family got it, they wouldn't be able to keep it."
"It must be a powerful family from the provincial capital that is capable of such a thing."
Yang Leshan spoke up, "So we're no longer considering vendettas or similar issues?"
Chen Xuan smiled to himself; this suggestion was first brought up by Yang Leshan, so it was reasonable for her to ask.
"Leshan, for now, just from analysis, this possibility seems more likely."
"But we can't completely rule out the possibility of a vendetta. We need to have a focus for the investigation."
Chen Xuan said softly.
Yang Leshan nodded slightly, "Yes, I was just saying. Ultimately, the decision is for you to make; I'm not skilled in this area."
After saying this, she gave a dry laugh.
Lin Wanxi chuckled, "The point Shanshan brought up can indeed be considered."
"If it were a vendetta or other factors, to involve those black-clad men takes more than an average family."
"The other party must be very powerful! At least a third-tier family! Combining the two possibilities, we could consider investigating the powerful families in the provincial capital."
"There's no conflict between the two."
Yang Leshan nodded with a smile, "Right, right, you have the more comprehensive perspective, Wanxi."
"Chen Xuan, what do you plan to do next? Are you going to the provincial capital now?"
Lin Wanxi also looked at him, waiting for his response.
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "It's not time to go to the provincial capital yet. Matters in Jiangnan City are not fully resolved."
"Maoyuan Company has been dealt with, but there are still Huazhong Trade and Beixing Technology to handle."
"Although they did not directly participate in the incident that harmed my parents back then, they did obtain relevant technical data."
"I can't just let it go so easily. Even if I don't want to trouble them too much, I still have to demand an explanation."
Lin Wanxi nodded, "That's right, we can also use them to further understand the truth."
"They might even provide new clues to gradually refine our investigation direction."
After saying this, Lin Wanxi looked at Chen Xuan, "My suggestion is that you don't rush to act against these two companies."
"After all, Maoyuan Company just had an incident tonight; the Xu Family will surely investigate with all their might, and those two companies will be on alert."
"If you act against them now, you might risk revealing your plans, making the investigation more difficult."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "I understand, don't worry. Although I'm very eager to uncover the truth, I know I must keep my cool."
"Haste makes waste, and it could slow down the investigation and cause unnecessary trouble."
Lin Wanxi felt relieved and didn't say anything more.
...
The next morning, Zhang Yan actively sought out Chen Xuan, trying to curry favor again.
"Chen Xuan, I want to have a good talk with you. Can you give me a chance?"
Zhang Yan asked with a pleading look.
"What do you want to talk about?" Chen Xuan looked at her expressionlessly, "There's nothing for us to discuss."
"Chen Xuan, don't always be so distant. I know I made a lot of foolish mistakes in the past and just want your forgiveness so we can get along."
Zhang Yan wore an expression of slight grievance and disappointment.
Chen Xuan sneered, "Zhang Yan, I know exactly what you're thinking."
"I don't intend to hold you accountable for past matters, and you don't need to dwell on them."
"In the future, you'll be you, and I'll be me. We have no ties to each other, understand?"
Zhang Yan looked hurt, tears welling up in her eyes, "Do you really hate me so much, Chen Xuan? Are you not willing to give me a chance to change?"
At that moment, Chen Xuan's phone rang. Vice President Zhang from Qingcheng Company called him.
"Mr. Chen, Ye Qingxian is back."
Oh?
Ye Qingxian is back!
Chen Xuan immediately perked up, "Alright, I'll be right over."
After hanging up, Chen Xuan didn't spare Zhang Yan another glance and drove straight to Qingcheng Company.
Zhang Yan was dumbfounded, left standing there as he drove away alone.
She felt very angry, but there was nothing she could do.
Chen Xuan had no time to bother with Zhang Yan. He just wanted to see Ye Qingxian as soon as possible to find out what she had been up to…
