A day after the intern incident, Qin Feiyu visited again.

Luo Beishi was too lazy to bother with him, displaying his arrogant attitude, and said, "Tell him to get lost."

A-Niu: "Yes."

Meanwhile, Huo Cixiao upstairs was handling official business in his study. Without his wife to hug him, his arms were always Kongkong, and today was another day he didn't want to work.

He texted his Special Assistant Wen, asking him to make proper arrangements for the hot spring resort.

At this moment, Huo Cifeng suddenly sent a message: "Big brother, if you don't stop, I will expose your secret."

Huo Cixiao scoffed coldly and tossed out two words: "Whatever."

Then block them with one click.

On the other end, Huo Cifeng angrily typed a few words: "Big brother is truly fearless."

He gritted his teeth, typed a message, and sent it, only to find a red exclamation mark—he had been blocked!

He was so angry he wanted to smash his phone.

" A-Ze, I really can't take it anymore. Why... why does Huo Cixiao have everything from birth, while I have to fight so hard for it?"

Special Assistant Zhang patted his head affectionately, as if looking at a pet, and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If they had evidence, they would have sent you in long ago. Why wait until today?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Cifeng immediately calmed down.

He had been tormented for several nights, unable to sleep. Even when he did fall asleep, he dreamt that Huo Cixiao was holding a cleaver and hacking him to pieces.

He'd had similar nightmares for several nights. " A-Ze, will you sleep with me tonight?"

Zhang Ze raised an eyebrow. "No, Xiao Feng, be a good boy, you should sleep by yourself."

Luo Beishi suddenly came across the Pei Family's story.

#Pei Xin, the eldest son of Pei Corporation family, has been detained on suspicion of researching illegal drugs#

Upon seeing the message, Luo Beishi immediately stood up and ran upstairs in his slippers.

A bewildered A Quan was left wondering what was wrong with the lady.

"Husband!!! My eldest uncle has been kidnapped!" Luo Beishi shouted with the same intensity as if his master had been captured by a monster, and opened the study door.

With a loud "bang," Huo Cixiao was so startled that he almost dropped the pen in his hand.

He looked at Luo Beishi with amusement, "Come here, tell me slowly."

Luo Beishi walked over, took out his phone, opened the news about Pei Xin, and showed it to Huo Cixiao.

Huo Cixiao frowned slightly after reading it, then pulled him into her arms reassuringly.

"Is this a case of my wife loving everything about me because of my love for her?"

Luo Beishi then realized that he had overreacted.

Actually, no, it's because his uncle and his family also gave him a big red envelope this year.

This was a gift of New Year's money; how could he just watch someone get hurt?

"Uncle shouldn't be that kind of person, right?" Luo Beishi raised his hand to smooth out Huo Cixiao's furrowed brows, and said, "Send someone to investigate immediately. Besides, the Pei Family has always been peaceful and stable, and it seems like they've never caused any trouble. This time, it might be that our enemies don't like us, but they can't beat us, so they can only pick on the weak."

"If your uncle knew you called him a pushover, he'd probably cry his eyes out." Huo Cixiao chuckled and pinched the tip of his nose.

He took out his phone again and made a call.

Special Assistant Wen could finish arranging things at the hot springs, he received another call from the "Big Boss."

"Investigate the Pei Family's affairs, including the list of personnel in the Pei Family laboratory, their family backgrounds, social connections, and the relationships within their family structure."

Special Assistant Wen: "..." Just tell them you're going to investigate their ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Also, investigate Pei Corporation Pharmaceutical's rivals. If they don't have enough manpower for their covert operations, call in the Twelve Zodiac Animals as well."

Special Assistant Wen: "... Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Beishi looked at her husband like he was an idol, letting out an exaggerated, girlish scream, "Ahhh, husband, you're so handsome!"

Uncle Chen: "..." I should be under the car, not here.

Huo Cixiao kissed his wife's lips. "Sweet, did you just eat cotton candy?"

Luo Beishi's eyes widened. "You smelled that? Do you have a dog's nose?"

Whatever my wife says goes.

Uncle Chen walked out silently and closed the door behind him.

When Pei Xin went in, no one was allowed to see him.

Because the case was quite serious and might involve other countries, he was immediately placed under complete confinement.

Pei Xin lay on the lower bunk of the iron bed as if nothing had happened.

The air was thick with a damp, musty smell. I lay there staring blankly at the bed frame.

Pei Xin, who had suddenly moved to a new house, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He never imagined that one day he would end up in a detention center.

interesting.

However, thinking about it, it's possible there was a traitor within their team; otherwise, they wouldn't have had so much time to alter the data and switch the medication.

Life is a winding road, and worldly affairs are like overlapping mountains.

Pei Xin wasn't entirely unconcerned, but it seemed that being anxious would be pointless.

If no clues are found in the next two days, he'll probably be spending the rest of his life in prison.

I wonder how the other inmates are doing.

Could it be like in the movies, where there's always a big boss in prison who's not only quick-witted but also ruthless, capable of beating people up with a single punch?

But the most painful thing is not being able to see his wife; that's the most devastating thing.

So be it. Rivers have many bends and turns, and people have many twists and turns.

Who knows what happened next?

I'll take a nap first.

In contrast to Pei Xin's relaxed state.

The Pei Family family was furious.

Only the eldest aunt calmly made arrangements, and then said to her two younger brothers, "Don't worry, even if you're willing to let your eldest brother stay inside, A-Xiao won't."

Uncle Pei Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I'd forgotten I had such an awesome nephew, oh right, and it's not just my nephew who's amazing."

Second Uncle Pei Zhen: "Yes... he's really getting old."

next day

Luo Beishi still went to class as usual.

System: "Host, why won't you let me help change the data back?"

Luo Beishi: "Are you stupid? The police have already checked once. If we change it back now, we'll cause trouble even if there was nothing wrong. This way, my uncle, who was originally not going to go to jail, will be confirmed guilty."

System: "Okay, Tongtong so stupid."

Luo Beishi comforted him, saying, "It's not that Tongtong is stupid, but Tongtong isn't human. Don't overthink it. It's good enough that they don't learn to swear."

System: "Seems so?"

"We can't touch the data right now, but isn't the online world still under our control?"

According to the information I just found, the Xu Family is not only in the food and beverage industry, but in recent years they have also risen rapidly by researching drugs, becoming a rising star in the pharmaceutical industry, and are now the rival of the long-established pharmaceutical company Pei Corporation.

"With the Pei Corporation in trouble, who benefits the most? Undoubtedly, it's the Xu Corporation, a rising star in the industry. Therefore, it's hard to say that the Xu Family wasn't involved. Moreover, there are quite a few companies that the Xu Family has previously exploited, making them even more suspicious."

System: "Host, what do you want to do?"

Luo Beishi: "Check their taxes and drug quality... no, just steal the data from their research institute's most heavily guarded computer system. There's definitely something in there that we can't even imagine."

That's how it's portrayed on TV. Luo Beishi smirked. Since none of us are good people, let's not do anything good.
