Chapter 403: Chapter 72_3

But how did the content of the conversation over soy milk and grilled fish during the late-night meal spread?

Was it Luo Tingrui who spread it?

Or did Luo Tingrui report it after being investigated?

No, with Luo Tingrui’s status, Li Lan couldn’t have done it.

Moreover, Brother Liangliang had said that they had just recently finished the project in Wanzhou, and Mr. Luo had been closely monitoring the progress on the project.

If it wasn’t leaked from Mr. Luo, then it could only have been someone else present at the time.

Xue Liangliang, Tan Wenbin, Run Sheng.

Li Zhiyuan’s breathing became rapid; cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

He wanted to analyze where the information had leaked from, but to do so, he needed to put aside all emotional interference and treat each person with the coldest, most rational mindset.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a big deal, it might even be considered trivial.

But now, facing Li Lan, he was constantly tensing up.

Any small breach at this moment could lead to a dam burst.

A disease he hadn’t suffered from for a long time was now gradually becoming uncontrollable.

Watching her son’s painfully pale face, not only was Li Lan not worried, but the corners of her mouth were even slightly curved upward.

It was as if she was watching a clown who was desperately trying to cloak himself in clothes but was fundamentally still naked.

She spoke; this was the first exchange between mother and son after returning home.

"Because of empathy, I know how to make you completely lose control."

She declared:

"It’s the person you trust most."

Instantly, Alii’s image emerged in Li Zhiyuan’s mind, someone to whom he had confided everything.

Suddenly, he calmed down.

Li Lan’s eyelids drooped slightly.

The boy spread out his right hand, looking at the scars that had long since faded, remembering the wounds caused by five nails digging in.

That night, the girl peeled open her palm, saw her self-inflicted scars, and decisively turned and left.

The next day, she sat back in the room, her feet on the threshold.

Was it the person I trust most who leaked the news, Alii told Liu Yumei, and Liu Yumei reported it up through her connections?

Logically, it made sense,

assuming Alii could talk.

"Ha ha... ha ha ha..."

Li Zhiyuan laughed.

What he thought was a deep and complex problem stopped at a simple mathematical equation.

The reasoned setup, the atmosphere alone with his mother, the sharpest dagger in the world, is the lie wrapped in truth.

Li Zhiyuan looked up at Li Lan sitting across from him.

You shouldn’t have added that comment.

You thought it was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, but in fact, you handed over the rope.

That comment just now actually revealed your card, "The Ji’an Civil Defense Engineering Report," was pulled out by you, playing the odds.

You couldn’t make Mr. Luo undergo interrogation voluntarily, but you could see Mr. Luo’s resume and, by observing some of his subsequent actions, figure out his deep fascination with Korea’s ghost images in the civil defense engineering.

You probably also saw the report about the Yong Country underground palace; you thought Mr. Luo would probably mention this because you’re still his student.

Whether he actually mentioned it or not, you don’t know.

This gamble you took, if I was really immersing myself in thinking who intentionally leaked the report, would actually have led me into a trap.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t rush to speak, instead he tore off a piece of report paper and wiped his sweat off his forehead.

Then, he picked up his pen again and began to write about "Zhu Changyong." Tan Yunlong must have already reported on this part, but Tan Yunlong didn’t know about the preceding part where a turtle crawled out of Zheng Haiyang’s family mouths.

After pushing the written report paper toward Li Lan, Li Zhiyuan picked up the "Ji’an 572 Civil Defense Engineering Investigation Report."

Correct, Mr. Luo said he had reported it, but there was no feedback on it from them, as Mr. Luo’s report of the "dream" appeared very ordinary among the many reports.

Before Mr. Luo and his team arrived, and before the engineering leakage, someone had already died.

Many didn’t make it out during the time Mr. Luo and his team were there; Mr. Luo himself was extraordinarily lucky to have survived.

Something had truly been dug up in the mountains—not a tomb, not an altar, not an underground palace, but...

The last part of the conclusion report is missing.

Not because Li Lan hid it, but because she didn’t know either, or to say, she could not bring the complete report home.

But whether seeing the conclusion report matters or not, because it was still based on the elimination method.

I’ll have to visit myself later. He was not interested in Korean culture, but curious about Mr. Luo’s "bright moonlight."

When Mr. Luo talked about this experience that night, Li Zhiyuan heard Mr. Luo had concealed some parts; now, with this report, it further confirmed his own judgment.

Alright, transaction completed.

Li Zhiyuan stood up from his seat. He didn’t head to the doorway but walked to the table, picked up the kettle, rinsed it at the sink, filled it with water, and plugged it back in.

While the water was boiling, the boy also picked up a cloth from the table and washed it, then carefully wiped the dirt from the edge of the sink, and finally, washed the cloth again and folded it by the sink.

The water in the kettle had boiled.

Li Zhiyuan approached Li Lan, picked up the cup she had previously used for tap water.

Li Lan watched his movements, her expression calm.

But her hands had already retreated into the sleeves of her coat.

Li Zhiyuan poured boiling water into the cup, lifted the cup up before him, and gently blew on it:

"Hu... hu... hu..."

Finally, the boy offered the cup to Li Lan, his face adorned with a sincerely concerned smile, he crisply said:

"Mom, drink some hot water."

Li Lan’s body started to tremble slightly, her breathing rapid, the veins in her neck prominently visible.

Come on,

let’s disgust each other.
