Song Fan opened Wu Yong’s notebook, finding it filled with various chaotic experimental notes.

Wu Yong was indeed a genius, but he had the typical trait of geniuses: he often recorded only the results without detailing the calculations or processes, making it difficult for others to understand his experiments.

As she read through the notebook, Song Fan discovered that the experiments Wu Yong hadn’t completed in the lab seemed less like formulations for anti-tumor drugs and more like drug purification processes. This realization shocked her.

She immediately turned to Jiang Man. “Besides you three, has anyone else seen this notebook?”

Jiang Man quickly shook her head. “No, only the three of us have seen it.”

Song Fan felt slightly relieved. She wondered if the disappearances of Wu Yong and Zhao Min were related to the contents of this notebook.

Her past experience as a mercenary had introduced her to the deadly world of drug traffickers, where people would kill for a formula. She knew all too well the deadly stakes involved.

“Go back to work. If anyone asks, just say Zhao Min worked late and I let her go home to rest. Don’t mention her disappearance.” Song Fan didn’t want Jiang Man to get too deeply involved and instructed her to keep quiet.

Jiang Man, though wanting to ask more, trusted Song Fan blindly like Zhao Min did. She nodded and returned to the lab.Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆lb/in(.)com

Without wasting time, Song Fan contacted Lan Yue, and they began investigating the connection between Fang Si and Xinrui. If they found Fang Si, they would likely find Zhao Min.

Their investigation revealed that Fang Si had been selling formulas and project data for months, starting with simple data and escalating to entire project details. The computer held a trove of information, and the private transactions added to the betrayal.

The more Song Fan uncovered, the darker her expression grew. Fang Si, a traitor who sold years of research for a few tens of thousands, was beyond unforgivable.

Moreover, Fang Si’s kidnapping of Zhao Min showed her intent to destroy Gu Corporation.

She also thought of Gu Chen. Each woman who admired him seemed terrifying; when love turned to hate, they sought destruction.

Gu Chen, as ruthless as ever, had already pressured the authorities into issuing a warrant for Fang Si. He quickly sent Song Fan the last known location of the van and a phone’s GPS coordinates, indicating they had found the kidnappers.

As Song Fan reached the company’s entrance, she saw Gu Chen waiting. “Get in the car. The police are on their way too.”

Without hesitation, Song Fan got in. Sun Zhi was driving, and Sun Gao was in the passenger seat.

The kidnappers were located in an old building in the city center, slated for demolition. Most residents had already moved out, leaving a few holdouts hoping for better compensation.

Gu Chen frowned, knowing it would be hard to search the entire building without alerting the kidnappers.

Song Fan, however, didn’t rush. She carefully observed the four unit doors and looked up at the windows before selecting the last unit. She sniffed at the doorway. “It’s this one. Follow me upstairs.”

She kept her voice low and moved silently, picking up a wooden stick from construction debris. Sun Zhi and Sun Gao followed her lead, arming themselves for a potential fight.

Gu Chen, bringing up the rear, initially wanted to take the lead but realized Song Fan might handle the situation alone.

They reached the fifth floor, where Song Fan signaled them to stop. She sniffed the door handle before nodding to the others. Sun Gao stepped forward and kicked the door open.

As the door swung open, a strong smell of blood hit them.

Sun Gao entered the darkened room, the curtains drawn, obscuring their vision.

He heard rustling from the adjacent bedroom and moved to strike but was stopped by Song Fan. “It’s one of ours.”

With her exceptional vision, Song Fan quickly adjusted to the darkness, seeing three people on the floor and Zhao Min tied up in the bedroom.

Zhao Min was bound to a sofa, gagged, blindfolded, and with a swollen face, indicating she had suffered.

Terrified, she struggled against her bonds, looking towards the door. Song Fan hurried over to untie her. “Zhao Min, it’s me, Song Fan! You’re safe now.”
