Madam Yue said, “Are they going to keep holding him like this? There’s no trial, no settlement, and no movement?”
“This is the outcome Qiao Zhuoli wants,” Shi Jin said helplessly. “He wants my brother to endure what he had endured.”
“This! Your elder brother didn’t do it!”
Shi Jin sighed. “If we could understand the thoughts of Qiao Zhuoli and the others, we wouldn’t have become his enemy.”
Yue Feng was also helpless. He said, “Shi Jin, relax first. If you need anything, tell me. I’ll do my best to help.”
“Dad, I want all the information about what happened more than twenty years ago, everything I can find. Is that okay?”
She looked at Yue Feng steadily.
Yue Feng was silent for a few minutes. Shi Jin knew that he was in a difficult position. Back then, after this matter happened, many things had already been drowned in the fire. Due to the various accusations and curses from the outside world, many people had been replaced to deal with these cases.
There were countless people. Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin were young. No matter how good they were at investigating, it was impossible for them to be as familiar with who was involved in the case as Yue Feng.
Later on, there was less and less information. Many of them were left in the hands of judges, lawyers, and so on. The remaining parts had also become information that was not open to the public.
Getting Yue Feng to step forward was what Shi Jin wanted. Only by doing so could she obtain as much information as possible.
Especially since some people were Yue Feng’s personal friends. Only by stepping forward could they be more confident and guarantee the information was accurate.
“Alright.” In the end, Yue Feng agreed.
“Thank you, Dad.”
Shi Jin nodded, neither servile nor overbearing.
After she left, Yue Feng said to Madam Yue, “Bring me my old phone book. I want to make some calls.”

Late at night, Shi Jin was still reading the information.
Fu Xiuyuan walked over and placed his chin on her shoulder from behind. He whispered, “It’s getting late.”
“I’ll sleep after reading this.” Shi Jin gave him a smile and reached out to place her hand on the back of his well-defined hand.

Yue Xiu was being pressured by the Old Madam.
She quickly transferred the pressure to the people below. Soon, her new batch of medicine could finally be released.
“Send these out according to the previous method. That’s all for this batch,” Yue Xiu instructed the people around her.
The wealth on the books kept increasing. The company’s performance was even several times better than when Gu Jingyuan was around.
Gradually, no one in the company mentioned Gu Jingyuan anymore.
Glasses Boy and the others stayed in the laboratory. They were in no mood to do anything and sighed.
“So when will Doctor Gu return?”
“Sigh, he’s not around. There’s no way to progress with these medicines.”
“That’s right, seriously… I wonder who is so wicked as to blame Doctor Gu for something he didn’t do.”
The door suddenly opened and a group of people walked in.
The person in the lead was Yue Xiu. She was accompanied by a group of bodyguards.
Glasses Boy looked at her. “Miss Yue? What are you doing here?”
Everyone stood up and remained hostile to Yue Xiu.
It was no wonder. Back then, Yue Xiu had taken Gu Jingyuan’s shares, and Gu Jingyuan’s situation was still unclear. Everyone in the laboratory had a problem with her.
Yue Xiu found a seat and sat down. She circled the surroundings and saw that almost everyone in the laboratory had gathered. Only then did she say, “Are you still waiting for Gu Jingyuan?”
“Miss Yue, if you have anything to say, just say it,” Glasses Boy said on behalf of everyone.
“Alright, then I’ll tell you directly. Gu Jingyuan won’t be back for a while. I’m afraid your project can only be suspended. Have you considered your future?”
Everyone was silent.
Yue Xiu smiled and said, “It just so happens that I’m very short of people. If you’re willing, you can follow me. Over there, you can also continue to do what you like. How about that?”
Everyone looked at each other and did not know how to answer.
Yue Xiu sat there calmly, not worried that they would object.
Now that Gu Jingyuan was not around and there was no leader, these people had no right to negotiate with her.
Liang Jing was the first to step forward. “Miss Yue, It’s indeed a pity that our project has stopped because Doctor Gu hasn’t come back. However, we can wait for him to come back. We won’t go to your side.”
Glasses Boy also said, “Yes, we can wait for Doctor Gu to come back.”
The others also said, “We’ll wait for him to come back!”
Seeing that this group of people was stubborn, Yue Xiu sneered. “Do you know how many years you have to wait? Or maybe you’ll never see the day it happens!”
“That has nothing to do with you! Even if we don’t wait for Doctor Gu, we won’t help you.”
Everyone’s gazes were very firm. Seeing that these people were so stubborn, Yue Xiu stood up. “Don’t regret it!”
She stood up and left. The bodyguards followed her and left.
Although everyone’s attitude was very firm, they could not help feeling a little hesitant at this moment.
Were they really going to wait? Or what?
