Jiang Yining looked up at Lu Zhi’s side profile, and her heart skipped a beat.
Lu Zhi focused on the road ahead and was on high alert, ready to face any unknown danger.
The two of them walked along the secret passage for a while.
They found that the end of the secret passage was covered with a sticky blue liquid.
Lu Zhi used his phone’s LED light to illuminate the area. After inspecting it, he frowned slightly.
Jiang Yining also picked up some and smelled it. There was a faint stench. “What is this?”
Such a complicated password and mechanism was actually just to protect the liquid?
Just as Jiang Yining was feeling puzzled, Lu Zhi’s voice came low and firm, “Curium.”
“Huh?”
“This is Curium ore.” Lu Zhi said with deep and intense eyes, “One milliliter of Curium can be sold for 800 dollars. And there’s an inexhaustible Curium ore here!”
The fact that it could emerge from the underground indicated a rich deposit of Curium ore beneath.
Just this layer of Curium on the surface could be sold for a sky-high price!
Not to mention the undeveloped underground!
Jiang Yining immediately understood, “The Xie family is leaving behind Curium ores for their descendants! No wonder they are willing to pay a high price to stay at the Peninsula Manor for a month!”
“What do you mean by staying for a month?” Lu Zhi asked.
Jiang Yining wanted to give herself a good slap. How did she slip up?
“It’s nothing. Let’s get someone to protect these things. The Xie family should already have their eyes on the Curium ores here.” Jiang Yining attempted to brush off the matter.
However, Lu Zhi said coldly, “The Peninsula Manor is under your name. If you want to protect it, you should arrange it yourself. I don’t need to interfere.”
He was still upset about what she had said earlier.
Jiang Yining was speechless.
The Curium ores here could be sold for a sky-high price, and he wasn’t tempted at all?
“You bought the Peninsula Manor with your money. Logically speaking, this is your property.”
“What 1 gave you is yours. I’m not interested.”
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked back.
Jiang Yining caught up to him and said, “Lu Zhi, are you still angry that I shouldn’t have lied to you?”
“No.”
Lu Zhi said coldly.
It would be strange if there wasn’t!
He was clearly angry!
Jiang Yining cursed silently in her heart. She trotted to his side and hooked his hand. “If I didn’t do that, 1 wouldn’t have been able to get close to you in the first place. How else could 1 investigate the whereabouts of your brother and Lin Yan?”
Lu Zhi clenched his jaw and remained silent.
Jiang Yining continued incessantly, “I spent so much effort trying to get the Curium ore because I knew that their disappearance was related to it.”
Lu Zhi finally stopped in his tracks. He stared at her. “What did you say?”
“In your brother’s room, there were documents related to the research and development of Curium ore. Also, before he disappeared, he left a letter for your mother and secretly mentioned that he was going to look for something.” Jiang Yining said, “I speculate that someone wants to use the Curium ore to achieve a certain goal. Lu Beicheng and Lin Yan were also involved in this matter.”
“Curium ore involves enormous interests, which can explain why the other party would rather risk offending the Lu family and make your brother disappear.”
The Lu family’s status and reputation in A-City were well-known.
Even the powerful four major families wouldn’t dare to touch Lu Beicheng.
Let alone kill him.
Lu Beicheng’s disappearance meant that the other party could get a huge reward from this matter.
The losses incurred by offending the Lu family were far less than the rewards.
Therefore, they took the risk.
These were the only pieces of information Jiang Yining could gather at the moment.
She urgently spread the news that she had Curium ores.
That was also the way she wanted to lure the snake out of its hole.
She wanted to find out who had harmed Lin Yan and Lu Beicheng.
After Jiang Yining finished speaking, she stared at him with her bright eyes without blinking.
Lu Zhi fell into silence for a moment and questioned, “Jiang Yining, how many things are you hiding from me?”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Jiang Yining paused for a moment and said, “I’ve said everything 1 should.”
“Is that so?” Lu Zhi asked calmly.
Jiang Yining nodded and was about to swear an oath.
However, Lu Zhi took a big step forward and pushed her against the wall. “What about your identity as the hacker Queen? How long are you planning to hide that from me?”
Jiang Yining was shocked.
When did he find out?
She had gone to great lengths to keep her whereabouts secret. Shouldn’t he think that K is the Queen?
Jiang Yining’s back was against the cold wall, and the blood in her body froze.
The secret passage was exceptionally quiet.
Other than the occasional dripping of water and the intermingling breaths, nothing else could be heard..
