"Beep beep beep!" The ringing of a phone sounded. Wu Tian picked up his phone and answered the call. A deep male voice came from the other end: "Hey, any progress on the task I assigned you?"
"Brother Chu, I've almost finished this task. But on the Chu family's side, Chu Dianlan wants to personally lead an investigation into the drug - doping incident last time. I'm worried he'll find out about me. What do you think?"
"Don't worry. I'll handle the Chu family. You just focus on the task I gave you. Don't mess it up like last time. This matter is of great importance. If there's the slightest mistake, you can forget about staying in the underworld."
"Sure, sure. Don't worry. Just wait and see!" Hearing that Brother Chu would handle the Chu family's matter, Wu Tian immediately showed a fawning expression.
Chu Chao hung up the phone. On the computer in front of him, Su Yao's "First Love" was playing.
Chu Chao's memory drifted back to the time when he followed Su Yao abroad.
"Chu Chao, look at this math problem. Is this the right way to solve it?" Su Yao asked him seriously, holding a workbook.
Back then, Chu Chao was an out - and - out bad boy. He wore a cynical smile on his face every day, teasing cats and dogs and causing trouble.
However, after watching "First Love" in the cinema, he fell deeply in love with that bright and beautiful face. Looking at her, it was as if the world would stand still.
So he secretly sent people to find out about Su Yao's information and insisted on transferring from a prestigious school to Su Yao's high school just to pursue her. But before he could get to know her well, he heard the news that Su Yao was transferring to a school abroad.
Just like now, back then, Chu Chao was so infatuated with Su Yao that he was willing to chase her all over the world.
So, regardless of the path his parents had paved for him in China, he insisted on transferring to Su Yao's school abroad.
There, he truly got to know Su Yao, won her heart, then hurt her, and finally was abandoned by her.
Thinking of this, his memory returned to that night when it was snowing heavily. Everything was so quiet. He watched as Su Yao stood at the door. Her gaze swept across his sweaty face and landed on the woman beneath him...
Chu Chao closed the computer and tilted his head back, as if trying to hide his emotions, completely forgetting that his office was empty.
"Beep beep beep!" The phone on the table rang. He pressed the speakerphone.
"Mr. Chu, there's a document that needs your signature." A sweet - voiced woman's voice echoed in Chu Chao's office.
"Bring it in." Chu Chao hung up the phone.
A voluptuous and glamorous woman walked into Chu Chao's office with graceful steps.
"Mr. Chu, sign here." The perfume on the woman was like a poison, surrounding Chu Chao. Looking at the woman's deep cleavage, Chu Chao pulled her into his arms.
"Ah!" Su Yao exclaimed. "Your family is so complicated."
"Not really. Compared with other families, mine is still relatively simple." Chu Dianlan told Su Yao what had happened to him before and after his amnesia.
"So, you were drugged before that gang fight? Did the fight trigger the effects of the drug?" Su Yao tried to summarize Chu Dianlan's words.
"Exactly. I'm trying to find out what kind of drug caused my amnesia. But it's very difficult because too much time has passed, and there's no trace of the drug in my body." Chu Dianlan ruffled his already messy hair.
This afternoon, Su Yao and Chu Dianlan were going to attend a promotional event together. So he woke up the still - sleeping Su Yao early, hoping she could recall some details of when she found him.
"I know a police officer from City B. She's very good at drug identification. Why don't you consult her?" Su Yao remembered what Pei Yan had told her about Bai Linglong.
"From the police?" Chu Dianlan was a bit skeptical. "After all, this matter of mine is not very honorable."
"Then I'll ask for you. I'll just say it's a friend of mine." Su Yao picked up her phone and dialed Bai Linglong's number.
"Hey, Officer Bai. Are you busy? I have a question. I have a friend..." Su Yao described in detail to Bai Linglong how Chu Dianlan looked when she met him and how Chu Dianlan felt.
"Well, there are many drugs that can cause the symptoms you described. From your description, it's more likely to be p - phenylene diamine. "
A figure of a dazed person appeared in Bai Linglong's mind. "This drug can cause the person who takes it to temporarily lose the ability to think and control their actions. An overdose can cause amnesia, hallucinations and other symptoms. I think your friend accidentally took this one."
"Are you sure? This drug name sounds quite professional. Is that really its name?" Su Yao had completely failed to remember the long name of this drug.
"Its scientific name is Duansan Powder. " Bai Linglong said. "Generally, this drug is used as an ingredient in drugs. One of our recent cases is about it. Didn't Lawyer Pei tell you?"
"Oh, he did say he was working on a drug case." Su Yao remembered how busy Pei Yan had been recently.
"Yeah, this case has reached a bottleneck. You can study it more when you have time. I have to go and get the results. See you later." Bai Linglong hung up the phone.
Su Yao relayed Bai Linglong's words to Chu Dianlan. Chu Dianlan wrote down everything Bai Linglong said in a small notebook. After a while, he looked up, as if in deep thought.
"Duansan Powder? I seem to have heard of it somewhere..." Before Chu Dianlan could finish, he was interrupted by Su Yao.
"Don't tell me you lost your memory because you took too many drugs?"
"How could that be? I'm very innocent. I don't do such things." Chu Dianlan stared at Su Yao with his cat - like eyes.
"Then the direction of the investigation is clear. Anyone in your underworld circle who has access to this drug is a suspect." Su Yao analyzed. "However, it's also possible that someone bought this drug. You need to investigate who bought it. According to Officer Bai, the amount they bought should be quite large."
"All the drug - related matters in our family are handled by Wu Tian. It can't be him. He has made great contributions to our family." Chu Dianlan went through every suspect in his mind.
"Wu Tian? There are so many people named Wu Tian recently." Su Yao said upon hearing this.
The two analyzed some other things, had lunch at a Korean barbecue restaurant, and then rushed to the promotional site in a hurry.
Pei Yan turned on his computer, planning to use the program he had written to lock in the source of the remarks targeting Su Yao again. Unexpectedly, his computer crashed, and the screen was full of wriggling crawlers.
Pei Yan thought to himself that this Wu Tian actually resorted to such dirty tricks. Fortunately, he had copied the data to a USB flash drive in advance. He just had to rewrite the program.
Pei Yan inserted the USB flash drive into Sun Yang's computer. A hidden folder from Pei Yan's computer appeared on Sun Yang's computer. Someone had set this folder to be hidden, but Sun Yang's computer was running a different system, so this folder was discovered and displayed by Pei Yan.
