Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Destined to Fall into Your Hands

Lu Xining left two bodyguards at the hospital to keep watch.

Upon returning to the ZN research base, she headed straight for the office and found the file bag given by Cheng Cang. Although the position of the files had shifted slightly before, the seal on the back showed no signs of wear.

The file bag had not been opened.

It was only when she saw the various asset proofs inside that she realized some seemingly unrelated items were all property of the Chu Family.

At this moment, Lu Xining’s curiosity about her maternal grandfather peaked.

She even had an illusion.

It wasn’t that those people united and successfully eradicated her grandfather, but rather that he no longer wanted to play with them and chose to join her grandmother instead.

There was also a card inside.

The font was neat, clearly the result of a computer printout.

[This is only one percent.]

The sender had placed a fruit filled with taboo and danger in her palm and told her that there was a tree laden with such fruits waiting for her to witness and choose from.

To say it was wealth enough to rival nations would not be an exaggeration.

She thought of what Shang Lvxing had said when he brought the bracelet over before.

There are too many predators lurking in the dark, eyeing this secret fortune.

You never know what kind of underhanded acts the people who smile at you on the surface are capable of beneath their facade.

Looking at the photocopies of these documents, Lu Xining destroyed all the materials with a shredder, then personally burned them.

Only after she had cleared up everything did she settle down to think about her next plan when a knock on the door suddenly came.

"It’s me, Xu Zhi." The woman’s voice was clear and contained excitement.

After tidying everything in her office and making sure there were no oversights, Lu Xining went to open the door.

She asked calmly, "What’s up?"

Contrasted with Lu Xining’s steady voice, Xu Zhi’s was filled with vitality, as well as joy and excitement that she couldn’t suppress.

"I found out who the designer of the Redwood Resort is!"

Xu Zhi had asked her former teachers, as well as friends in the professional circle, about the blueprints from the past at the Redwood Resort.

Finally, from a senior who had worked for official projects, she obtained the identity of the blueprint designer, though the other party was clearly not too sure either.

"Su Chengyi!"

"The Su Chengyi who has won every major global architecture prize!"

"The legendary big shot from the Su family of Beicheng!"

Lu Xining was familiar with the name Su Chengyi.

He had a granddaughter named Su Qingyun.

And Su Qingyun’s son was her ex-husband, Ji Muye.

The rule that you can know everyone in the world through six degrees of connection seemed to manifest into reality at this moment, cleverly linking together people and events that originally had no connection into one circle.

"It’s said that this might be the last work Su Chengyi, the big shot, left in this world!"

Xu Zhi felt some regret inside. She wondered why she didn’t come to see it before it was dismantled; maybe she could have learned some details.

Lu Xining thought of Ji Muye who was still in the hospital corridor, and when Little Dumpling leaned close to her ear earlier and said that the dark figure looked a bit like her cheap dad, there was a fleeting doubt in her heart.

After all, unless the man was crazy, who would not fear death and choose to climb that steep cliff just to take a glance at his son and daughter?

"You don’t need to continue investigating the blueprints; I will arrange for someone else to take care of it."

"It’s getting late, Designer Xu has worked hard supervising the project recently, hurry back and rest."

Lu Xining pushed her shoulder towards the door.

Xu Zhi, still with much to discuss about Su Chengyi and unwilling to leave, turned back and said, "I’m not tired, Boss Lu paid so much for the design fee, I’m too excited to rush off."

"Oh, let’s talk a little more, once I go back I don’t even know what to do."

Lu Xining pressed her shoulders and looked into her eyes with earnest and focused attention, suggesting that she could take on a few more cases to regain the touch of her past design work.

To Xu Zhi, the wife hidden away at home by Ji Muye, whom she had always looked down upon, had now become her spiritual belief and her salvation.

Every time she saw Lu Xining handle matters with a calm and composed demeanor, her heart would uncontrollably find peace.

She sighed and said, "If you ever need help with anything, just ask. For the sake of money, I will definitely help you."

Lu Xining curved her lips into a smile and said, "Okay."

After sending away the idle Xu Zhi, she returned to her office, went into the inner rest area, and from the safe hidden behind the cabinet, she took out the bracelet that Shang Lvxing had given her before.

In the following period of time.

Lu Xining frequently appeared in various interview videos with her extremely efficient experimental results.

In every video without exception, she was wearing that bracelet.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze were sent back to Jingzhou.

Fu Junhang took Little Dumpling back to the laboratory in Country C to visit the diligent Jing Zheng, who was working hard there.

Without a weakness by her side,

Lu Xining could handle matters more confidently and boldly.

In the silent alley at night,

The man who just came out of the hospital sensed footsteps trailing behind him, his deep and dark eyes grew heavy, and he quickened his steps towards the deeper parts of the alley.

"Why don’t you keep running? So you’ve run into a dead end, huh!"

"You little bastard, we’ve been watching you for several days. It was you who tipped them off and messed us up, wasn’t it?"

"Tonight is your death sentence!"

As soon as these words fell, the man opposite revealed a cold smile, "Don’t speak too soon. Who’s going to die is still uncertain."

The speaker narrowed his eyes vigilantly, waved his hand and signaled everyone to advance together.

Seeing his brothers fall one after another, the man’s eyes turned red, the sharp silver light aimed straight for the hand of the man grabbing another person’s throat, as if intent on chopping it off.

The man who was attempting to ambush was fiercely kicked by the other man into the garbage pile in the alley.

Hearing the commotion at the entrance of the alley, he straightened his disheveled clothes and said coldly, "This matter has nothing to do with me."

"Don’t foolishly target the wrong person and unknowingly become a pawn in someone else’s game."

Cheng Cang listened to the man opposite him, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Tell the brothers to come back."

At the entrance of the alley after several twists and turns, there was an old and decrepit car parked.

The man opened the rear door, looking at the stranger’s face reflected on the car window. The material used to alter his appearance was not breathable, and wearing it for too long would be very uncomfortable.

Ji Muye thought of the Lu Xining he saw at the hospital earlier, and said with a stern expression, "Go to the cliffs."

Ma Sai pressed the gas pedal and headed straight for the destination.

In the quiet office, the ticking of the clock’s hands were especially distinct.

The night forest was filled with a eerie atmosphere.

The moment the knocking sounded, it was like a bell waking one from a midnight dream, awakening the silence in the room.

After about fifteen minutes, the lights were bright at the cliffs.

Lu Xining leisurely watched the captured Ji Muye, her eyebrows full of coldness.

"I was wondering who was so wicked as to disturb people’s sweet dreams in the middle of the night; turns out it was a sneaky rat all along."

Not long before, Ji Muye, who had just climbed up using vines, had barely steadied himself when he smelled a peculiar scent, and it was already too late to hold his breath.

He sat limply on the plateau.

Ji Muye looked up at the woman bending over to look at him and started coldly, "It seems I’m destined to fall into your hands."

Lu Xining’s lips twitched slightly: "..."
