Chapter 559: Chapter 559: He died?

Li Ye was locked in a special room. The only people who could interact with him were Nan Qiao, Li Yehan, Director Nie, and a leader from above.

Nan Qiao also wanted to see what abilities the products of those insane experiments possessed.

Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated.

Nan Qiao brought Zheng Qinnian to do the research together, to quickly unveil this layer of mystery.

After explaining the situation, Zheng Qinnian came here with Chen Man.

Chen Man carefully surveyed the surroundings, feeling extremely excited inside!

She was really curious and wanted to jump into the experiment state right now!

“Qiaoqiao, rest assured, I will do my best,” Zheng Qinnian promised.

Chen Man quickly followed with a promise, “Me too, I will do my best!”

Hearing the two of them speak, Nan Qiao almost couldn’t help but laugh.

“You don’t have to be restrained, we are old friends. With you handling it, I’m at ease.”

After a few reminders, Nan Qiao let Zheng Qinnian take Chen Man to work.

Nan Qiao’s hands were itching to get involved, but thinking about her pregnancy, she knew she had to be more cautious.

Li Yehan finished his conversation with Director Nie and came out to find Nan Qiao, the two met.

“Qiaoqiao, you wouldn’t want to personally conduct the experiment, would you?” Li Yehan was a bit worried.

Some things, it’s necessary to learn to let go when it’s time.

Health is important.

Nan Qiao smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know my body’s condition. At this time, I can only step back and leave the opportunity for others.”

What she needed to learn now was to let go.

By appropriately letting go, others also have the chance to improve.

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao’s hand, and they left together.

…

When Li Yehan went to work, Nan Qiao didn’t go to school; she went to the Du Mansion.

It was the weekend, and Du Qianqian was also at home.

Upon learning that Nan Qiao was coming, Du Qianqian’s grandma instructed the chef to really showcase their skills and prepare a meal with the best color, aroma, and taste to entertain Nan Qiao.

Grandma Rong also instructed, “When Qiaoqiao arrives, all of you have to smile, make sure you’re smiling well so that Qiaoqiao doesn’t feel unwelcome, understood?”

Mr. Du said, “Mom, you’ve mentioned it several times, I already remember. How about this, let me smile for you to see.”

As he spoke, Mr. Du showed a very friendly smile.

Grandma Rong: “…”

“That’s too much smiling, it looks fake. I’m not asking you to sell laughter, just smile appropriately, naturally. Look at yourself, it doesn’t look normal at all.”

Mr. Du: “…”

He had just practiced in front of the mirror, it looked normal!

Du Qianqian laughed so hard she was almost crying.

Du Qianqian’s mother also laughed, and the mother and daughter’s giggles left Mr. Du no choice but to join in instead of getting angry.

Grandma Rong: “…”

“Stop laughing, Qiaoqiao will be here soon. If she sees us, will she think our entire family is crazy?”

At Grandma Rong’s words, everyone stopped laughing.

Goodness, everyone became extremely quiet.

Grandma Rong rubbed her forehead: “Alright, just act normally.”

If they laughed any more, she would think her son was a madman.

Just as they were speaking, Nan Qiao arrived.

Grandma Rong was full of happiness upon seeing Nan Qiao come in.

“Qiaoqiao, you’re here.” Grandma Rong stood up to welcome her.

Nan Qiao was carrying gifts, and the servants behind her also had some.

“Qiaoqiao, you coming to our home is already the best gift, why did you bring so much?” Du Qianqian was a bit exasperated.

They didn’t want Nan Qiao to spend money.

“It’s what I should do, I didn’t buy much.” Nan Qiao placed the gifts on the table.

She came over today because she had something important she wanted to discuss with them.

Grandma Rong, being experienced, could see right away that Nan Qiao’s visit was not just a casual reunion.

“Qiaoqiao, come with me, I just happen to have something to discuss with you.”

Nan Qiao got up, supported Grandma Rong, and went upstairs together.

The two of them went to the study upstairs, where Nan Qiao sat down, and Grandma Rong gently asked, “Qiaoqiao, you’re visiting our home, is there something important you want to tell us?”

Nan Qiao replied, “Grandma Rong, how much do you know about your eldest son and his family?”

Grandma Rong was startled, but she responded calmly, “My eldest son is a smooth talker and knows how to make me happy. His wife is the same, knows how to handle things. I gave him his portion of the shares to manage, but who knew he wasn’t satisfied and wanted the whole Du family.”

Reflecting on the past, Grandma Rong sighed endlessly.

Her younger son had become someone who only cared for profit and ignored familial bonds.

Upon hearing this, Nan Qiao asked again, “Was he always like this before? He wasn’t, right?”

Grandma Rong cracked a small smile, as if reminiscing about her son from before.

“He wasn’t like this at all. My eldest son and Qian Qian’s father were once very good brothers, respectful to each other, humble and courteous. The word ‘profit’ has a knife on top!”

Nan Qiao figured out a few things and felt something wasn’t quite right as she thought it over.

“Grandma Rong, is there a possibility that your eldest son… has been replaced by someone?”

Grandma Rong was stunned, disbelief and urgency painted on her face.

“Qiaoqiao, do you know something?”

Nan Qiao explained to Grandma Rong what she knew about Li Ye. She wanted to confirm what had happened.

Grandma Rong was shocked upon hearing this.

“There’s really such a thing?” Grandma Rong fell into a state of panic.

She feared her eldest son was in grave danger!

With red-rimmed eyes, Grandma Rong held Nan Qiao’s hand, her voice hoarse. “Qiaoqiao, according to you, my son…he…”

Nan Qiao speculated that after they created a new qualified experiment product, they would kill off the original person.

Only a dead person can completely keep a secret.

Grandma Rong’s heart felt cold, filled with mixed emotions.

On one hand, she felt her eldest son wasn’t such a person; he wouldn’t kill his mother.

On the other hand, the possibility that her eldest son was already dead grieved Grandma Rong immensely.

Nan Qiao comforted, “Grandma Rong, the reason I came over wasn’t just to confirm this, but also to give you a heads-up. Jing City is a bit chaotic now, so it’s better for every family to conduct their own checks.”

Grandma Rong immediately understood Nan Qiao’s intent. Whether it was Du Qianqian or Du Qianqian’s father, a thorough investigation was needed from top to bottom.

“Qiaoqiao, thank you for bringing us this news. You are our family’s benefactor, and mine as well.”

“Grandma Rong, from now on, you must be especially cautious.”

Nan Qiao feared that the matter regarding Li Ye might soon reach those people’s ears.

As for Grandma Rong, if they decided to kidnap and kill, things would become even more difficult.

Seeing Nan Qiao, Grandma Rong had formed a plan in her mind, though it might involve pulling Nan Qiao into it…
