BXBX NOVEL Chapter 345 Detective Tang's Deduction
"You mean, by giving him a fake formula or something?"
"Well, it can be anything that probably will make your father think that \'I can use this data\'. He will have to contact those who work behind the scenes then."
Li Caiyi was unsure about this. "Then, wouldn\'t it mean I have to tell Brother Renshu everything about this? Including Xiaohua\'s condition?"
"That\'s why I said it would be better if you could be the one to convince him since it was better than having your brother and Young Master Meng about this."
What he said made sense. But Li Caiyi felt reluctant. It wasn\'t just because she didn\'t want to owe him anything, but she wouldn\'t be able to handle the moral burden if something happened to Meng Renshu because of this.
Unlike her, Meng Renshu was the sole heir of Meng Pharmaceutical. The consequences would be enormous if that dangerous group ever targeted him rather than herself or Detective Tang.
Li Caiyi wouldn\'t leave unscathed if something happened to Meng Renshu because his family would crush hers like stepping on an ant.
"Detective Tang, I\'m sorry, but as I said before, I have no intention of getting involved in anything concerning my father or that group working with him."
"I see. I understand. Sorry for asking something unreasonable. Actually, I can just wait for an opportunity to present itself. But I was too impatient and made you feel uncomfortable."
"No, it\'s okay. You are just genuinely trying to crack the case." Li Caiyi contemplated a bit before adding, "I will warn Brother Renshu about my father. He will tell me if anything was amiss with my father\'s behavior, and I\'ll tell you after that."
"I\'d appreciate that. Thank you very much, Young Miss."
Although she refused his request, there was something that bugged her mind ever since he asked her to rely on Meng Renshu.
"Wouldn\'t Meng Pharmaceutical be a great support for the research of the cure?"
Detective Tang was silent for a while. "Young Miss, I know what you are trying to say, but we better not do that."
"Why?"
"From what we know, all those related to this project were influential people with certain interests or backgrounds in the medical industry. There is no proof, but there is also no guarantee if your friend\'s firm is \'clean\' or not. Do you understand what I\'m saying?"
"Yes, I do. I\'m sorry for saying something weird."
"Haha, I believe your friend is a good kid just like you. But we can\'t do anything that can cause suspicion when we don\'t know who our enemy is yet. There are many people in the Meng Pharmaceutical firm, and we couldn\'t tell who is our ally and not."
Li Caiyi believed in Detective Tang\'s judgment. So far, he had yet to make a miscalculation, and if he said this would probably be dangerous, then it must be true.
"If you say that much, I have nothing to say anymore."
"Be that as it may, there is one thing that bothers me all this time."
"There is something else?" Li Caiyi was surprised. Detective Tang uncharacteristically spoke a lot about his job today.
"Why only your twin sister? If Li Jirong wanted to do an experiment, then wouldn\'t it be more natural if he did that to both of you? Since you said he is a patriarchal man, I believe he didn\'t dare to do it to your brother because he couldn\'t risk it if something wrong happened."
Detective Tang paused briefly before continuing skeptically. "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with you? Do you have an instance where your body feels weird or something like that?"
Li Caiyi was stumped by his explanation. She had never thought about this before. However, as Detective Tang said, it was indeed bizarre that Li Jirong only took Li Chunhua as the subject test, considering how little he thought of daughters.
But then again, her father was also an opportunist, so it wasn\'t that unbelievable either.
"I believe my father wanted to leave one of us alone because he needs daughter to use as business chips. Trading your daughter for profit or connection isn\'t unthinkable for a man like him."
Li Jirong was adamant about pushing Li Caiyi into the Meng family in her previous life.
No one could tell if he made the correct decision in turning Li Chunhua into a test subject rather than Li Caiyi. But as cunning as he was, he maneuvered his way through his blunder skillfully.
If Li Chunhua couldn\'t become Madam Meng, then Li Caiyi, as a spare, could do it.
Chill ran down her spine, thinking that her fate and Li Chunhua could switch on Li Jirong\'s whim.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense. But did you really never experience any strange thing about your body? So far, this new drug is still underdeveloped, and we can\'t say for sure if it has a similar effect on every test subject. The effect on you probably will not necessarily be the same as your sister."
"Let me think…." Li Caiyi\'s words trailed off. She thought for a while before hesitantly speaking again, "I don\'t know if this will answer your question, but unlike my sister, my body is healthy, almost abnormally so."
"In what way?"
"Well, I rarely get sick. Ever since I was a child, I think the number of times when I get sick can be counted with one hand."
\'This is also why everyone thinks I have sipped away a lot of Li Chunuha\'s life energy when we are still in the womb. Even myself think so.\' Li Caiyi thought bitterly.
"Hmm, anything else?"
Li Caiyi thought about her high alcohol tolerance. She could even beat veteran drinkers even though she didn\'t have much drinking experience.
Many people had high tolerance toward alcohol, so she never thought too much about it. But what if it was as Detective Tang said, that it wasn\'t just a coincidence?
"I also have an abnormally high tolerance towards alcohol."
"Ah? Young Miss, you drank alcohol at your age?"
\'Crap! I forgot I\'m a teenager now!\'
Li Caiyi quickly made up an excuse on the spot. "Well, not voluntarily, but that\'s a long story so let\'s leave it at that for now. More importantly, do you think this is worth noting?"
Detective Tang hummed. "I can\'t judge by myself. I\'ll let my friend know about this and listen to his opinion. This is more of his field, anyway. Thank you for your cooperation, Young Miss."
"I\'m glad if I can help."
"I\'ll let you know if there is any news from my side. Sorry for taking your time. I\'ll hang up now."
Li Caiyi stared at her phone as her previous conversation with Detective Tang replayed in her head. If his deduction was correct, then how shocking it would be. She still couldn\'t get into the idea of her sister becoming a test subject, much less imagining herself in the same situation as Li Chunhua.
"Come to think of it, what happened after I was dead? Did Xiaohua cope up alright with that body of hers?"
A certain face flashed across her mind for a second. If there was a person who could answer that question, then that man was the only one capable of doing it.
