Chapter 168 Custodian
Lu Chengyuan did not find any content related to the laboratory.
The Shadow Society seemed to have deliberately hidden the contents of the laboratory in order to prevent anyone from seeing the document.
The laboratory's information may already be in the hands of the core members of the Shadow Society. No documents are kept and it is only passed on by word of mouth.
But Lu Chengyuan already knew the truth of what happened that year.
The broken-down car of the parents was specially arranged by them, and the car of Xia Qingluo's parents had also been tampered with in advance, just to deliberately frame Xia Qingluo's parents.
In this way, not only the core researchers were eliminated and the research data were obtained, but also two families who had a relationship as good as relatives became enemies. Every generation in the future may become enemies.
Lu Chengyuan fell to his knees on the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.
His heart continued to sink until it reached the bottom.
So for so many years, he had been wrongly blaming Xia Qingluo's parents... and even implicated Xia Qingluo...
In fact, Xia Qingluo's parents felt very guilty about this matter, because the car was theirs and they felt that they should be responsible.
Therefore, they treated Lu Chengyuan very well, just like their own son.
When Lu Chengyuan founded his technology company, Xia Qingluo's parents were the first to step forward and express their support. They also tried their best to find partners for him, saying that they wanted to make his technology company the best in Beijing.
But Lu Chengyuan refused. At that time, he just thought they were hypocritical.
Fortunately, his temperament has become indifferent since he was ten years old.
Therefore, his refusal did not hurt Xia Qingluo's parents. Instead, they thought it was normal.
Lu Chengyuan's throat tightened a little, and in an instant he felt that he had done many wrong things and hurt many people.
The one who was most seriously injured was Xia Qingluo.
She was as bright as a little sun and could have illuminated his world, but he deliberately hid in a dark place to avoid her sunshine.
Lu Chengyuan couldn't wait to apologize to Xia Qingluo and tell her the mistake he had made.
Xia Qingluo loves him very much, and they will definitely be able to reconcile.
He would never work overtime at the company on purpose and not go home to be with her again.
He actually knows how to cook and can make delicious food for her.
They had been married for ten years but had no children. At that time, he did not dare to have offspring, so he had been taking measures.
They might be able to have a lovely child. It must be interesting to have a new life in the world who looks like both him and Xia Qingluo, right?
Lu Chengyuan hurriedly took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and the moment he unlocked it, he stood there in a daze.
A total of twenty missed calls flashed on the screen, all from Xia Qingluo.
Xia Qingluo seldom called him, as if she was afraid of disturbing his work. She always sent text messages when she had something to say, unless it was something very important or urgent.
His fingers trembled even more violently, and his whole body was controlled by a huge fear, and he called back.
For the first time, there was only an endless busy tone on the other end of the phone. Lu Chengyuan's heart was pounding and he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.
In the past, whenever he called, Xia Qingluo would answer the phone immediately, and then say with a smile: "Husband, you finally called me. When will you be back? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
The second time, still no one answered. His heart began to sink, and an unspeakable fear spread in his heart.
The third time, he continued to dial, listening to the beeping sound on the other end of the phone, his heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
After making ten calls in a row, Lu Chengyuan's heart sank completely. He had already imagined the worst possible outcome in his mind.
Something happened to Xia Qingluo...
After that, he used the fastest speed to find Xia Qingluo's trace and saw the scene in the basement.
"But there are so many people in the Shadow Club. Do you know who did it?"
Suddenly, Xia Qingluo's clear and pleasant voice interrupted his thoughts.
Xia Qingluo stared at Lu Chengyuan's profile with her beautiful eyes. Seeing some beads of sweat on his forehead, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Do you feel warm?"
Lu Chengyuan chuckled and asked Xia Qingluo, then lowered the temperature a little before answering her question.
"I don't know who in the Shadow Society is behind this."
Xia Qingluo sighed and said to himself, "An organization with a history of 300 years must have stable and strong members and internal structure. Maybe one-tenth of the world's rich people are members of the Shadow Society. Looking for the person behind Xia Wan'er is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Lu Chengyuan glanced sideways and said in a low voice, "It's not that hard to find."
"The matter concerning you must have been planned by the core members of the Shadow Society. As far as I know, there are only thirteen core members of the Shadow Society, and the others are just their pawns."
Xia Qingluo pursed her lips gently, "What is their purpose in doing this?"
Lu Chengyuan subconsciously spoke out the information he knew, "It is said that they want to rebuild a new world order."
"Perhaps it is a group of people who want to be the best of the best. With their wealth, they are already superior to others, but they want those of lower status to be lower and those of higher status to be higher, widening the gap."
Xia Qingluo's beautiful brows furrowed even tighter, "What does this have to do with me?"
Lu Chengyuan held the steering wheel, his fingertips moved slightly, and he instantly discovered something was wrong.
If the Shadow Society wanted research data, why would they still target Xia Qingluo? Wouldn't that make it easier to expose themselves?
Could it be that... the Shadow Society didn't actually get the research data?
Where would the research materials be? They would definitely be placed in the safest place for safekeeping.
The custodian is most likely Xia Qingluo’s parents.
"Fuck-"
Lu Chengyuan suddenly slammed on the brakes.
Xia Qingluo's body became unstable and tilted.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Chengyuan turned his head and said excitedly: "I know, I know what they want to do! What they want is in the hands of my father-in-law and mother-in-law..."
Xia Qingluo's pupils suddenly shrank and her lips slightly opened, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by the ringing of the cell phone.
She lowered her eyes to her backpack and took out her cell phone.
Looking at the three words "Ming Ruilan" flashing on the screen, Xia Qingluo was stunned for a long time.
She looked up tremblingly, a little confused, and even a little afraid to answer the phone.
But only three seconds later, Xia Qingluo quickly slid the screen of his mobile phone and answered the call.
"Lolo, something happened to your father."
Xia Qingluo's hands froze and the phone slid down his palm and fell onto the car seat.
