“Boss, the surveillance systems of several surrounding companies were infected with a virus. We can’t trace anything,” Lan Yue’s frustrated voice came through the phone. “This time we’ve encountered an expert; there’s not a single clue.”

Song Fan had also discovered that the research institute’s system had been hacked. The attacker’s IP kept jumping to foreign locations, making it impossible to trace the source.

She meticulously checked the laboratory. Apart from a few of Wu Yong’s manuscripts that were missing, nothing else had been disturbed. This indicated a clear purpose.

She knew this person was likely the one who had killed Fang Si and had been at the Gu residence last time. Judging by the figure, it was a woman, and a formidable one at that.

Feeling troubled, Song Fan quickly contacted Gu Chen, informing him about Su Ming’s injury.

Su Ming had obtained the police autopsy report and was on his way to deliver it to Song Fan when the incident occurred. Fortunately, the person who kicked him missed his wound, so he only passed out from the pain and wasn’t seriously injured.

Li Lan waited anxiously nearby. After the doctor finished the examination, she stepped forward. “Is he alright? He was shot before, will this kick cause any issues?”

“Fortunately, Assistant Su was lucky. If the kick had been just a bit lower, it would have been problematic. He just needs to rest.”

The doctor’s words relieved Li Lan. She respectfully saw the doctor off and turned back to find Su Ming awake.

But his eyes were cold as ice. “How did you know I was kicked?”

His voice was still hoarse from just waking up, but he didn’t care. He just stared coldly at Li Lan.

Actually, the moment he saw the black-clad figure, he had recognized Li Lan. Having lived together and been in a relationship, how could he not?

Yet, he couldn’t believe it. He had thought, maybe he was mistaken? There were many people in the world, and perhaps someone else had a similar build.

But Li Lan’s question to the doctor confirmed his suspicions. He hadn’t been mistaken; it was Li Lan.

“What are you talking about? I was just worried about you,” Li Lan said with a slightly reproachful expression. “When I got the call from President Gu, I was worried sick. Why did you go to the company so late?”

Li Lan busied herself with tidying the bed, but her mind was racing, trying to recall if she had left any other clues.

Su Ming sat up and grabbed her hand. There was a needle mark, slightly red, on it. “Do you have anything else to say? Why do you have this needle mark on your hand?”

Su Ming had clearly seen the black-clad figure get pricked by an injection. If all of this was a coincidence, it would be too strange.

“What are you doing?” Li Lan quickly withdrew her hand. In her haste to tend to Su Ming, she had forgotten about the wound.

“I pricked myself while cooking today. Didn’t you eat the shrimp at lunch? It pricked me. You didn’t even care!” Li Lan would never admit that the black-clad figure was her.

Living with Su Ming, she had grown accustomed to a normal life—simple but happy. It was something she had never experienced before. Although Su Ming was reserved and not good at sweet talk, he treated Li Lan exceptionally well. She had slowly fallen for him.

But Charlie’s orders were absolute. If she disobeyed, her only remaining family might not survive.

“Alright, you just got hurt. Don’t think too much and get some rest.” Li Lan gently tucked Su Ming in, her voice soft. “I know the company is in trouble, but you’ve just recovered. It’s best to rest for a few months. Don’t worry about these things.”

As long as Su Ming stayed out of the company’s affairs, her identity wouldn’t be exposed, and she could continue being Su Ming’s girlfriend, Li Lan.

But Su Ming didn’t listen. He stared straight at her. “The person in the Gu residence basement last time was also you, right? How else would your earring have ended up there? Li Lan, who are you really?”

His voice choked with emotion. Su Ming was a smart man who had chosen to ignore certain things. But now, he could no longer deny the truth.

Li Lan moved her lips but couldn’t speak. She hadn’t expected things to reach this point so quickly.

Seeing her silence, Su Ming reached for his phone. “If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll inform Miss Song and President Gu and let them investigate.”

Li Lan quickly snatched his phone, looking at Su Ming in disbelief. “Do you want me to die?”
