TWWMABMTBH Chapter 75
by VolareEven the system was silent this time, let alone Rong Ziyan himself.
It was quite a while before Rong Ziyan commented, “Heavenly Father is quite childish.”
System: “Yeah! So childish, a broken duck worth twenty-one yuan on the street can be an SR-level item, he probably thinks you haven’t been weaned yet.”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Rong Ziyan seriously refuted him, “It’s clearly twenty-five yuan each.”
…So you’re not going to refute the Heavenly Path treating you like you haven’t been weaned? The system was completely speechless.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rong Ziyan opened the item details to see what exactly this screaming little yellow chicken was used for.
Item Details: Screaming Little Yellow Chicken, delicate and soft, it sings. The beloved of a six-year-old, every time they see its twisting body, they can feel one hundred percent childhood joy. [Note: Different people will trigger different emotions]
Rong Ziyan poked the little yellow chicken, “System! What do you think the last note means?”
The system thought for a while: “Maybe it means you find it interesting, but I think it’s stupid.”
To the point, Rong Ziyan commented, “System, you really don’t have a childhood.”
The system was so angry that it immediately shut down. This idiotic thing that sings “Daddy’s daddy is grandpa”, how could it represent his childhood?
But Rong Ziyan actually had a second half to his sentence, “I guess you didn’t grow up on Earth during your childhood, it’s normal that you don’t understand.”
The system felt like it was about to be infuriated to death.
With a disagreement, the two quickly ended their mental conversation. Rong Ziyan put away the little yellow chicken and also lay down to sleep.
They had been busy for a whole day yesterday, and then they were busy non-stop from the afternoon to dawn treating the goslings. Although everyone was quite energetic when they first returned to the animal husbandry station, after a sleep, the feeling of fatigue surged up, and they were all a bit out of it.
When Rong Ziyan got up in the morning, not to mention Luo Xia, even the original veterinarian hadn’t gotten up yet.
It wasn’t that they were slacking, they were just really too tired.
Old Wu came out with a basin. He was very surprised to see Rong Ziyan standing in the yard and subconsciously asked, “Sir, aren’t you tired?”
Rong Ziyan stretched, “I’m alright!”
Then he casually took a salted duck egg from his pocket and handed it to Old Wu, “I cooked porridge, do you want to eat some?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Old Wu took the salted duck egg and sat down at the table with Rong Ziyan.
Rong Ziyan ate very quickly, but surprisingly, his table manners were very good. He was refined, and even though he wasn’t exactly a young master from a noble family, it was clear that he was a very well-mannered person.
Perhaps Old Wu’s gaze was too obvious, Rong Ziyan put down his chopsticks and looked up at him, “Why are you looking at me?”
Old Wu quickly lowered his head, “It’s nothing, I just think you eat quite fast.”
Rong Ziyan took it for granted, “There are still many things to do later, of course I have to eat quickly.”
After saying that, Rong Ziyan took the empty porridge bowl away to wash it, and then prepared to go to the laboratory in front.
“Are you going there so early?” Old Wu quickly finished two mouthfuls of food, then threw the bowl into the sink and followed behind Rong Ziyan.
Rong Ziyan, “Yeah! First, I’ll see how the component separation is going, then I have to go to the village.”
“It’s time to feed the medicine, I’m afraid they won’t be able to handle it.”
The laboratory was at the front of the yard. Yesterday, the young veterinarian had given Rong Ziyan the key. Rong Ziyan opened the laboratory door, and the first thing he did was to check the separated components.
As expected, out of the six bags of feed that were sampled, four bags had Clostridium botulinum toxin.
“This… the Zhou family is too bold!” Old Wu was watching from the side, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Yesterday, it was just speculation, so they could still be calm. But now that they had the evidence, they couldn’t help but sigh at the Zhou family’s audacity.
“What exactly is the problem with the ingredients?”
“It should be the use of animal corpses.” Rong Ziyan gave an analogy. Generally, when raising ducks and geese, the feed will contain fish and shrimp ingredients.
And now it was the summer, if the fish and shrimp in this season were not fresh, using dead cheap fish and shrimp as raw materials would easily produce Clostridium botulinum toxin. This toxin was also the reason why the geese in the village eventually became sick.
“Now we don’t know how much of this feed has been sold. If it’s a lot, then it’s troublesome.” Rong Ziyan felt that this problem was very serious. He first called his senior and sent him half of the component analysis form. Then he called Boss Fat in Beijing.
“Ziyan, if it’s confirmed, you come back immediately with the evidence! Don’t stay there.” On the phone, Boss Fat was most worried about Rong Ziyan’s safety after listening to him.
Although he didn’t outwardly take the Zhou family seriously, he had actually heard some rumors about the Zhou family’s practices.
Putting aside everything else, the Zhou family’s disciples are related to many private lenders. Some people say that the Zhou family is failing, leading the younger generation of the Zhou family to have some money, which they then use to lend money and earn some gray income.
But Old Wu, who had been by Ji Shu’s side for many years, knew the Zhou family’s background.
The Zhou family was indeed weakening step by step, but the Zhou family’s hands were indeed not clean.
The evidence in Rong Ziyan’s hands could potentially cause the Zhou family to lose everything. Not to mention, he had a feud with that second generation of the Zhou family. If the Zhou family thought that Rong Ziyan was deliberately retaliating, the first thing they would probably do was get rid of him.
Rong Ziyan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked Old Wu, “Old Wu, have you heard of the health product case from sixteen years ago?”
“Which one?”
“The health product case that caused cancer after taking it.”
“That was the Zhou family’s?” Old Wu was also stunned by Rong Ziyan’s question. It wasn’t that he was ignorant, but at that time, he was young and was in his playful stage.
If Rong Ziyan asked who the NBA winning team was that year, he would definitely know. But these things were relatively unclear.
Rong Ziyan shook his head and stopped talking, but he looked clearly troubled.
The system couldn’t help but ask him, “Host, why did you suddenly bring up this matter?”
Rong Ziyan was silent for a while before saying, “I always felt that my parents’ deaths weren’t accidental.”
There were some things that Rong Ziyan had never spoken about because he didn’t have any evidence.
His parents had died in a car accident, and the location wasn’t in the town or village, but in Beijing.
It was also because of this that Rong Ziyan never saw his parents’ last faces. He only knew that after his parents went out, when they came back, they were ashes in a box.
“My grandmother used the health products that the Zhou family produced back then.” Rong Ziyan said to the system, “Her health was very good at first, but after taking those health products, she gradually declined.”
“My uncle bought her those health products thinking they would be good for her health, but after going to the hospital, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer.”
“At the time, they went to the county hospital, which recommended going to Beijing for treatment. My family didn’t have that much money, and my grandmother didn’t want treatment either.”
“Later, the newspapers suddenly started making noise, saying that there was a problem with the health products themselves. A lawyer came to our house to find us.”
System: “Was it to collect evidence?”
“Yes.” Rong Ziyan fell into memories, sorting out the situation from back then bit by bit.
Rong Ziyan could still remember that his grandmother had already passed away. When the lawyer first found them, his mother was unwilling and even refused to talk. But later, after the lawyer presented a lot of evidence, his mother cried all night, and finally discussed with his father, agreeing to testify in court.
Rong Ziyan was too young at the time, he only knew a little about this, but he didn’t know what exactly happened.
He only knew that after his parents went to Beijing with evidence, they never came back.
And in this accident, his parents were fully responsible, and the driver was not at fault. In the end, there wasn’t much compensation. They couldn’t even pay because the driver’s family was poor.
Later, at his uncle and aunt’s funeral, they muttered that “they didn’t know what was good for them,” and then the health product factory suddenly disappeared, as well as that lawyer who used to be running around.
These people, like bubbles, suddenly disappeared from Rong Ziyan’s world. They took away his beloved parents with them. And Rong Ziyan’s uncle also died in an accident at a construction site not long after.
His uncle didn’t have a family, and his grandmother was gone, so it ended up being unresolved. It was said that the funeral expenses were paid by the construction site.
Rong Ziyan was young back then, so he could only temporarily keep these things in his heart. Although he still couldn’t get any evidence now, he still had some doubts in his heart.
And this was why he was not on good terms with the Rich Second Generation after entering the university. It wasn’t that Rong Ziyan was truly ignorant of the ways of the world, nor that he didn’t know how to repair their relationship with each other. It was that he didn’t want to.
He didn’t want to be close to an enemy who might have killed his parents. Even if he didn’t have any evidence, the seed of suspicion had already been planted, and Rong Ziyan simply couldn’t do it.
Later, when Rong Ziyan was framed by the Rich Second Generation, the familiar pattern of events made his suspicions even greater.
And this time, the feed incident once again aroused the doubts in Rong Ziyan’s heart.
What a similar scheme?
Not every bag of feed was toxic, but a few batches had problems, sold mixed with good feed. If the usage was not high, it would naturally be fine. But if one was unlucky and bought all the bad ones, like the situation in this village, then the geese in the village would be finished.
Rong Ziyan’s grandmother was the same way back then.
But as for evidence, he still didn’t have any. No, maybe he did. If this incident couldn’t be resolved, and they started pulling out the root to get the dirt, perhaps all the evidence of the Zhou family’s crimes could be revealed.
So the most important thing now was to confirm the evidence!
The Zhou family has been enriching themselves on the blood of others for so many years, and now it was time for them to pay it back.
At this time in Beijing, the senior student who was studying for his doctorate under Boss Fat was holding the component list that Rong Ziyan had sent, and the cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes on his back.
It was too unlucky, this kind of confidential matter, but when he was printing in the confidential printing room, the Rich Second Generation was right behind him.
Who exactly gave him the authority to come to such a core area of the research institute? The senior student’s first reaction was, could someone have leaked information to the Zhou family?
And the second thought was that he probably… couldn’t understand it! After all, he was an uncultured Rich Second Generation.
The senior student was very uneasy, secretly telling himself to stay calm and not reveal his emotions.
