Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 581 - Chapter 581 Chapter 581 There is a Mole in Qiaose Research

Chapter 581: Chapter 581: There is a Mole in Qiaose Research Institute Chapter 581: Chapter 581: There is a Mole in Qiaose Research Institute Qiao Yun asked, “What?”

Lu Zhanxing thought for a moment, couldn’t remember anything, and said indifferently, “Nothing, I must be overthinking.”

The whole family thus tacitly forgot about Lu Shiran until he returned from the Tianqi Research Institute and found out about it, feeling so ashamed that he dared not see Qiao Yun for days.

When he thought about how the person he had painstakingly tried to seduce was actually his own sister, he was too shocked to even feel shocked, burying himself in his room to socially die.

Of course, Lu Shiran was still unaware of his impending social demise.

Seeing that the family didn’t feel alienated because of Qiao Yun’s identity made Lu Zhanxing quite pleased.

What he feared most was that his family would not treat her equally once they knew Qiao Yun was Professor Qiao, which was precisely why he and Lu Jingzhi tacitly chose not to tell the family.

It seemed he had worried needlessly.

Moreover, Lu Zhanxing also noticed, even though Qiao Yun didn’t show it, he could still tell.

His sister’s attitude towards them had become a bit closer.

It was as if the final barrier had disappeared.

On the Zhou Family’s side, ever since the matter was exposed, and without Old Master Zhou to take charge, it indeed became chaotic, with everyone worrying about getting burned and busy fighting over the inheritance.

Pei Ya naturally wouldn’t give them the chance, revealing all the misdeeds of each member of the Zhou Family that he had investigated.

Some involved moral aspects, and others legal aspects.

Internet users were having a field day, watching firsthand how a large family fell from grace.

Old Master Zhou finally woke up after resuscitation, but because of the stroke, he became a person with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, mumbling incoherently.

Sitting beside the hospital bed, Pei Ya looked at Old Master Zhou, who stared back with angry eyes but couldn’t speak, only able to make indecipherable sounds, and sighed, “How pitiful.”

That’s what he said, but he didn’t look sympathetic at all.

Hate filled Old Master Zhou’s eyes, but now he could do nothing; even whether he could survive was uncertain.

What’s worse, not a single member of the Zhou Family came to visit him.

Seemingly seeing through Old Master Zhou’s thoughts, Pei Ya took pleasure in his misfortune, “Don’t even think about it. No one is coming to save you now. If it weren’t for humanitarian reasons, you might not even have been able to stay in the hospital.”

“Your worthless Zhou Family is currently busy blaming all the misdeeds you’ve committed over the years on you.”

Old Master Zhou grew furious, his chest heaving as his emotions became increasingly agitated.

Pei Ya smiled devilishly, “Be smart and spill everything you know. Who knows, I might be in a good mood and help your wife.”

After finishing his statement, he just quietly watched Old Master Zhou.

After a while, he saw Old Master Zhou struggling to raise his hand, shaking his finger…

Pei Ya’s eyes darkened.

An hour later, already out of the hospital and sitting in the car, Pei Ya received a connection from the institute.

[I checked, all the virtual numbers connected with Old Master Zhou originated from overseas. These types of virtual numbers are being sold online and it’s difficult to trace the specific origin.]

Pei Ya was very dissatisfied with the answer, [So the lead just ends here?]

[No, there’s one number which is also the only number whose signal originated from Shangjing City.]

Pei Ya’s breath halted abruptly, [Check it out, where exactly is it?]

[I found out the last signal came from…]

Pei Ya looked at the address sent from the other side, his expression suddenly turning bizarre and incredulous.

…

Qiao Se Research Institute.

Qiao Xun looked at the news about the Zhou Family, his eyes deepening, then he chuckled with a hint of sarcasm, saying to himself, “How stupid.”

A Zhou Family could never shake Qiao Yun.

These fools have no idea how formidable Qiao Yun’s tactics are.

Qiao Xun clicked the mouse, opening another page.

It conspicuously contained information about Li Hanzhou.

He noticed that Li Hanzhou’s experiences before the age of ten were blank.

Qiao Xun tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, seemingly lost in thought, and after a long while, he finally closed the page.

…

Two days later, Qiao Yun and Pei Ya met in a private restaurant that was well known for its privacy.

Qiao Yun first ordered a heap of dishes, and after eating her fill, she slowly wiped her hands while observing Pei Ya’s off-color face.

“Is there something wrong?”

Pei Ya had a gloomy expression, “There are some things I don’t know how to tell you.”

“Oh.” Qiao Yun nodded, “Then don’t say it.”

Pei Ya: “…”

Wait, how can you just dismiss it like that?

Don’t you want to hear what I have to say?

Don’t you have a damn bit of curiosity?

Qiao Yun indicated with her eyes: No.

Pei Ya pursed his lips, then picked up a briefcase that was sitting on the chair next to him, “Boss, this is the medicine you wanted.”

Qiao Yun took a look and hummed indifferently.

Pei Ya curiously asked, “Isn’t this kind of drug analysis supposed to be done by Qiao Se Research Institute? Why not give it to them?”

Qiao Yun thought for a moment before blankly saying, “I don’t know.”

“Huh? You don’t know?”

Pei Ya had a baffled expression.

“Yep, I don’t know,” Qiao Yun nodded affirmatively, “just a hunch.”

Pei Ya’s mouth twitched slightly as he muttered, “Your intuition isn’t telling you that there’s a mole in Qiao Se Research Institute, is it?”

He was joking, because that was simply impossible.

Qiao Yun didn’t know how to respond, and when Pei Ya asked if she wanted to give the chemical to Qiao Se Research Institute, her intuition told her not to.

So, she followed her intuition.

Qiao Yun thought for a moment and said, “Give it to Li Hanzhou.”

His expertise in this area was even more formidable than Grandpa Second’s, so Qiao Yun felt it was okay to give it to him.

Qiao Yun didn’t notice the sudden change in Pei Ya’s expression when she mentioned Li Hanzhou.

After a long moment, Pei Ya spoke in a heavy tone, “I wouldn’t recommend that.”

Qiao Yun raised her eyelids in confusion and looked at Pei Ya, “Why?”

Pei Ya said, “He is now a suspect.”

Qiao Yun grew even more puzzled, what did that mean?

Pei Ya spoke solemnly, “I had visited Old Master Zhou before, and obtained the means to contact the organization. I had the institute check it, and they told me, one of the numbers’ signal source is in Shangjing City.”

He looked at Qiao Yun’s innocent eyes, and with a face full of sorrow and earnestness, said, “The address is in a research center in Beicheng District, that research center is under Li Group, I have reasons to suspect that Li Group is associated with the organization.”

Qiao Yun listened to his long explanation and bluntly summed it up for him, “You’re saying, Li Hanzhou is related to the organization?”

Pei Ya sighed deeply, “I just suspect. We can’t overlook any possibility.”

In matters related to Professor Qiao, he was extremely cautious and careful.
