CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 260: THE MEDDLING DOG CATCHES MICE (5)_1

"Luo Wu, quickly take your men and place the Li Family under surveillance. No one is allowed to leave. If necessary, use force," Chairman Fang spoke gravely, his face somber. Whether it was true or false, if such a virus were to endanger the people, the Li Family couldn’t atone for it even if they died ten thousand times over.

"Yes, Chairman."

"Shangguan Hao, Yu Jiayong, Luo Jing, take the elite troops and head immediately to the site of the incident to investigate and collect evidence. Do not allow a single person inside to escape."

"Yes, Chairman," the three replied in unison.

"Daddy, I’ll go with you," Shangguan You quickly stepped forward. That place was teeming with the virus, and the people inside were extremely dangerous. When Zhuge Ao had discovered those things, even she had been badly frightened. It was very dangerous for Daddy to go in now.

"Absolutely not. You stay here and wait for news," Shangguan Hao interjected firmly.

"No, Daddy, I’m going! And I think it would be safer to take Auntie Li with us. I believe Auntie Li came here hoping to give Daddy a hand as well, right?" Shangguan You said with a cold laugh, looking at Li Wanying’s face.

"Don’t talk nonsense! I was just worried about you all, so I sneaked over to check. Whatever you’re talking about, I don’t know anything! I don’t know anything at all!" Li Wanying shrieked, waving her hands frantically, her complexion turning a deathly pale.

"Chairman, you can’t pin such a heavy charge on us just because of some unsubstantiated video!" Li Junjie cried out. "This was filmed for real! For all we know, you wrote those two letters yourselves! You’re detaining us, even two commanders—what is the meaning of this?"

Yu Zifeng let out a cold snort; the Li Family was truly shameless.

"That’s right. You all just wait here for news. Daddy, let’s go," Shangguan You said with another cold laugh, pulling Shangguan Hao to leave.

"I’m coming too." A voice tinged with roguish charm rang out, and then, in a flash of shadow, Ye Sanshao was by Shangguan You’s side. This girl truly surprised him; he’d never expected her to get her hands on that kind of information. It seemed he had underestimated her abilities.

The Ministry of Health, located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, was somewhat out of the way.

The Ministry of Health was responsible for the nation’s, and even the world’s, most cutting-edge and advanced medical technologies, as well as disease prevention and control. Simultaneously, research on various unknown viruses and advanced medical science was conducted here. It was one of the nation’s most important departments.

Inside Li Wanying’s Deputy Minister’s office, Shangguan Hao and his team pushed the door open and walked in; Li Wanying was also brought along. The office was immaculate, so clean that not a speck of dust could be found—just like Li Wanying’s usual hypocrisy, making it seem as if she had no flaws.

"Auntie Li, your office is so clean! Oh, is this a picture of Daddy when he was young?" Shangguan You glanced around the office. Noticing a handsome photo on the desk, she couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise.

As she looked again, her eyes turned cold, a chill seeping into her heart. Shangguan Hao’s face hardened too. The spacious office was suddenly filled with an icy atmosphere.

The photo appeared to be of a younger Shangguan Hao with Lin Mengjie, but Li Wanying had cut out Lin Mengjie’s face and pasted her own photo on top. If one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t notice the alteration.

"Auntie Li, I had no idea you liked Daddy so much," Shangguan You said mockingly, her gaze fixed on the photo where Li Wanying’s picture was pasted over the cut-out portion. Anger welled up inside her.

Li Wanying’s face turned ashen, her lips trembling slightly. She struggled to break free from the person holding her and lunged forward to snatch the photo, but Shangguan Hao was quicker and grabbed it first.

"Li Wanying, you’re really something. Mengjie... you’ll never compare to her. You’re not even worthy to carry her shoes!" Shangguan Hao snarled through clenched teeth. With a few sharp RIPS, he pulled apart the photos that had been forcibly stuck together. He then tore Li Wanying’s smiling picture in half and threw it to the ground. As for the original photo of himself and Lin Mengjie, Shangguan Hao ripped it into shreds.

"Shangguan Hao, you are so cruel!" Watching the photo being torn to shreds before her very eyes, Li Wanying spoke through gritted teeth, deep hatred in her eyes. She had loved him for over a decade, and this was the result? This man wouldn’t even leave her a single photograph?

"Cruel? No matter how cruel I am, I’m not as venomous as you," Shangguan Hao sneered, his hands firmly grasping her chin.

"Tell me, where’s the entrance to the underground laboratory?"

"You’re talking nonsense! There’s no such laboratory! There isn’t, there isn’t!" Li Wanying flailed her arms, stumbling backward a few steps, her lips trembling uncontrollably. If her lips weren’t trembling so violently, one might almost believe her claim that there was nothing here.

"Auntie Li, it’s okay if you don’t want to say anything. Don’t get too worked up. Why don’t you sit down and rest a bit?" Shangguan You said with a light laugh, helping Li Wanying up from the ground. Li Wanying tried to pull away but was held firmly in Shangguan You’s grasp. Shangguan You helped her to her seat. "Daddy, for safety’s sake, everyone should take one of these," she then said, taking out several small bottles of Antidote Pills from her clothes and distributing them. Everyone took one. Her gaze swept to Ye Sanshao, who was watching the drama unfold from the side. If the timing weren’t so critical, she really wanted to march over and slap him hard a few times.

"Girl, hurry up and find the entrance," Ye Sanshao said nonchalantly, unconcerned by her anger. His lips curved slightly. No matter when or where, this damned man, Ye Sanshao, always exuded an innate elegance and nobility.

"Girl, when the entrance opens, you will wait here for us," Shangguan Hao said, his brows furrowed. What they had seen on the DV footage was astonishingly dangerous; the girl would be safer here.

"Daddy, I can protect myself. Wherever you go, I’m going too!" Shangguan You objected. She had followed them precisely because she was worried about Daddy; there was no way she would stay here alone.

"But it’s dangerous down there. It’s not a place for a girl like you. You’d better stay here so we can have peace of mind."

"Yeah, girl, you should stay here," Yu Jiayong and Luo Jing chimed in simultaneously. The troops beside them were fully armed; it would be very dangerous for a girl like her to go down there.
