Chapter 536: You Believe Me

Zhao Min sobbed and shook her head. “I was tied to the sofa the whole time. They kept the door closed, so I couldn’t hear the sounds outside.”

Song Fan, still not giving up, asked, “When we came in, the door to your room was open. Who opened it?”

Zhao Min thought for a while and then said, “I think it was the killer who opened it, but I’m not sure. I heard someone knock on the door, then someone went to open it, and after that, there was no more noise. Later, someone opened my room door, but they didn’t come in and just left.”

“By the way, it seemed to be a woman. Her scent was different from Fang Si’s.” Zhao Min remembered something else but then looked disappointed again. “But men can also wear perfume, right? I’m not really sure. The smell was quite fragrant, but I don’t know what flower it was.”

Song Fan sighed. Zhao Min had already done well to remember these details under such extreme fear.

After Zhao Min calmed down further, she described the kidnapping. That night, after finishing the antidote formula, she had been abducted by Fang Si and two men shortly after leaving the company. Fang Si had forced her to hand over Gu Medical Company’s previous formula and current research data.

“Fang Si has gone mad. How could I remember all that?” Zhao Min fumed. “She used to be a researcher, even if her skills weren’t great, she should have known the basics! She hit me, forcing me to hand over documents. I… I…”

Song Fan gently touched Zhao Min’s swollen face, which bore nail scratches, clearly the work of Fang Si.

Despite Zhao Min’s growing anxiety, she managed to recall more details. “Right, I saw Wu Yong’s notes. They must have been written recently, definitely after he went missing.”

“Are you sure? Did Wu Yong always handwrite his notes?” Song Fan asked urgently.

Zhao Min nodded. “Wu Yong’s eyesight was poor, so he seldom used the computer. He also said handwritten notes were easier to preserve. His notes were messy, so he always wrote the date in the center of each page.”

She gestured with her hands. “Wu Yong wrote the date right in the middle. Only a few close to him knew this. Fang Si showed me a photo of a document, asking if I understood it. The date was from a few days ago, so it must have been written by Wu Yong.”

After saying this, Zhao Min wrote down an equation. “This equation was in there too. Miss Song, do you think it’s related to drugs?”

Looking at the equation, Song Fan wasn’t sure, but recalling the experimental data on Wu Yong’s computer in the meeting room, she frowned. What exactly was Wu Yong up to?

“Rest well and stop thinking about this. Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of it,” Song Fan reassured Zhao Min before leaving the hospital.

She headed straight for the meeting room at the lab, feeling it necessary to continue Wu Yong’s research.

But upon returning to the research institute, she saw a crowd, including Gu Hai and Gu Zhuo.

Seeing her, Gu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, as if seeing a savior. “Song Fan, thank goodness you’re back. I…”

Gu Hai interrupted him. “Miss Song, from now on, Gu Zhuo will take Fang Si’s place. He will be part of the research institute’s management.”

His face was smug, and his gaze at Song Fan was somewhat hostile.

Gu Zhuo, looking apologetic, explained quietly, “My dad insisted I join Gu Corporation. I don’t know anyone else, so I had to turn to you.”

His implication was that he had come to this department for Song Fan’s sake. Song Fan knew his character well enough to understand that if he wasn’t forced, he wouldn’t be here.

Standing behind them, Gu Chen said nothing, but his silence meant consent.

Not feeling satisfied yet, Gu Hai continued, “Gu Zhuo and Xu Wen are getting engaged. He can’t just sit idle. Eventually, Gu Corporation will need him for management… Working alongside Gu Chen and getting early exposure to work is beneficial.”

Song Fan rolled her eyes internally. So this was Gu Hai’s plan. First, get Gu Zhuo into Gu Corporation, then, after the marriage alliance, gradually push him up.

Gu Hai continued his lofty speech about the importance of this move until Gu Chen’s face grew increasingly grim, and he finally quieted down.

After Gu Hai left, Gu Zhuo quickly grabbed Song Fan to explain, “It’s not me trying to take my brother’s job. It’s all my dad! And I definitely won’t marry Xu Wen. Song Fan, you believe me, right?”

Gu Chen stepped forward, pulling Gu Zhuo’s hand away from Song Fan. “Who you marry has nothing to do with her.”
