Chapter 16: Dangerous Relationships
On the way back, they didn't say a word, yes, just now they each said everything they wanted to say, and now they are living in their own happiness. His hand moved from the steering wheel to hers, and he grabbed the obedient hand to feel her temperature. In an instant, he let go of the stone of revenge, feeling that she was so nice to be around, and it was a very different feeling to be with her, although there was no seductive passion, but each other could touch the heartstrings.
He turned his head, and quickly turned back, only remembering her face full of spring breeze. So, he turned his head again and responded to her smile.
But this goodness did not last long, and they got out of the car, one in front and one behind. She knew very well that when she entered the door of Earlshire, everything was back to normal. What's more serious is that Zhou Cailing is back.
Zhou Cailing put her arm around Collins' shoulders and coquettishly in his arms.
"You haven't seen you in months, miss me?"
They later spoke a few more words, and Zhou threw himself into his arms with great satisfaction, as if they were lovers who had been in love for many years. Crossing his shoulder, Zhou noticed Ji Yiru's presence, she hugged him tighter, and smiled at Ji, as if to say that Collins belonged to her alone.
Ji walked past them, walked through the hall, and thought: He said that he didn't love women, but why did he hint at me so many times. Now there is another Zhou Cailing, he can have physical contact with her very comfortably, I really don't know what he means. At the turn of the stairs, she consciously looked in a direction she shouldn't have looked, and he was looking at her, and their eyes met.
"I'm looking for you." Steward Shao stood at the highest place, directly interrupting the awkward glance between her and Collins.
Ji continued upstairs, trying to wipe the shadow of Collins from his mind.
"We still have a lot of things to work out, let's go to my room first." Steward Shao turned around and led the way, and did not say another word before walking to the destination.
"Don't you let the Count know?"
Steward Shao turned around, looked at her for a while, and did not answer.
"I mean we can work together on this plan because we're all participants."
He took a document from the drawer, handed it to her, and said, "We are not on the same line as the Earl."
She looked at his blood-red eyes in confusion, then turned her gaze to the information in her hand.
"Qianshi?"
"Qianshi is the only carrier research and development base in the world established by Qianshen 40 years ago, and has a cooperative relationship with Duke Collins, and its most important achievement is the Su-carrier developed 29 years ago, but because of an abuse test, nearly 50 volunteers died on the spot, and Qianshi closed down overnight. Ten years later, Qianshi entered the market again, but it has not been as brilliant as it used to be, until today. ”
"Is it related to our project?"
"Specifically, it's about you."
Ji was even more confused, frowning: "Me?"
"You are likely to be the only child of the Qianshen and the only heir of the Qianshi."
Ji's eyes widened.
"I've gathered plenty of evidence," he said, pulling out another piece of information, "Your blood type matches Qianshen's blood type very well, and your adoptive mother has a relationship with Qianshi, which means that you were probably adopted to cover up the truth." ”
"Impossible!"
"The Count may well have believed it."
Ji Du sat and looked at him.
"That means you're in danger. Twenty-nine years ago, shortly after the collapse of the Qianshi, he had disappeared for three days, and when the Duke brought him back, he was already scarred. Ten years later, Qianshi made a comeback, and Qianshen was still there at that time, but the position of president was his wife's. In less than a month, Qianshen was Lingchi. This fully proves that the gentry have mutilated the earl. ”
"Qianshen hurt Collins, this is a father's debt to the son, so Collins also wants to hurt Qianshen's children in this way?"
He nodded.
"Do I still have a way to live? I'm going to be a blood slave for fifty years! ”
"At least you're the new project CEO now, and he won't hurt you right away."
"And then kill me while the project is in full swing?"
He didn't answer, kept looking down at the information on the table, but judging by his expression, she knew that her guess was right.
"I mean you to participate in the project, I think you should be obligated to complete what Ms. Ji has not yet done. She was in contact with the Gentry and approached Duke Collins, and the finger was directed at the genetic project. Many people envy the long life span of the vampires, and the Duke took advantage of this to launch a genetic project. This was what my father told me, who was still the duke's butler at the time, and who, like Ms. Ji, was extremely opposed to the project. For nearly two decades, the project has never been made public, and only a few people know the secrets. I hope we can stand on the same line and join forces to sabotage this project. ”
"Does that key have anything to do with that project?"
"That's right."
"Why didn't the Duke just give it to Collins, but put it with Louis, and why was the password me?"
"I don't know, these problems need to be solved by you."
"Then your purpose is simply ......"
"Don't think of me as a villain who is taking advantage of you," he was a little annoyed, "I'm just doing this to fulfill the mission left over from the previous generation." ”
She was deeply ashamed of her constant vigilance and deeply sorry for him. That's all she has to know, and there are many more problems that she needs to solve on her own.
"Thank you for telling me this, I believe in you and will join forces with you, but it doesn't mean that I admit that I am the daughter of Qianshen, I just want to finish what my mother didn't accomplish."
"I believe in you too." He looked at her, his face twitching unnaturally, as if he wanted to smile, which was clearly unsuccessful.
She smiled back and got up and walked away.
Zhou Cailing was lying on the sofa watching TV, and when she saw Ji Yiru going downstairs, she stopped her.
"I heard that you have been here for more than three months, but there is no record of a single blood draw scheduled, and what is even more unusual is that you are still living here, and he can still call your name accurately. No matter what method you use, I ask you not to fight the earl's idea, you also saw it, we ......" Zhou Cailing deliberately did not finish speaking, and smirked and ate the potato chips in his hand.
"You're wrong, it's too late for me to hide from him, how can you seduce him so cheaply?"
"You!" Zhou Cailing directly dropped all the potato chips in his hand.
Ji Yiru raised his head and walked out of the door without looking back, approaching the fountain. She was curious about what was going on between James and her mother, all along, she only knew that her mother was looked down upon by many people, but she felt how great her mother was. She felt the cool water, but thought of him again.
