CHAPTER 259: CHAPTER 259: THE MEDDLING DOG CATCHES MICE (4)_1
Shangguan You secretly rolled her eyes, looking at Ye Sanshao who was striking a pose in front of her. She was cursing in her heart; could there be a mistake? Why was this dangerous man with Chairman Fang? Could he be the reinforcements Chairman Fang had called for? But what exactly was the identity of this idiot, Ye Sanshao?
The corner of Shangguan You’s mouth twitched as she repeated what she had just said.
"Are you saying that our military tribunal is grasping at straws?" Chairman Fang looked with interest at the lively girl in front of him, listening to her sharp words.
"Exactly," Shangguan Qing stepped forward a few paces, stood by Shangguan You’s side, and recounted their encounter once again, pointing out once more their forced and illegal hypnosis.
"Vice-Chairmen Fang and Duan, you two have greatly disappointed me."
Chairman Fang’s tone shifted, filled with deep disappointment.
"Chairman, we were acting in accordance with the law."
"Acting in accordance with the law? What is this then?" Chairman Fang spoke gravely, taking the documents from his bodyguard’s hands and slamming them onto the faces of the two men.
The two men’s faces turned ashen as they picked up the documents from the ground. Their complexions were the color of death; these were records of their deeds over the past dozen years.
The Chairman hadn’t gone on vacation; he had been investigating their past instead.
"What else do you have to say?" Chairman Fang asked gravely, his face full of disappointment. He had been genuinely startled when Ye Sanshao gave him these items; he had never imagined that these two had done so many things over the years, and so secretly.
"Take the two Vice-Chairmen away."
As the two Vice-Chairmen were led away, the two Li Family members stumbled, bewildered. Things had happened too quickly. How could this be? Why was this happening? Why had Chairman Fang taken the two Vice-Chairmen away, and they had been taken without even a chance to defend themselves?
"Chairman, I want to accuse the Li Family, the Minister of Health, and the Vice-Minister, of abusing their power to create hazardous substances and drugs for some secret research, to achieve their ulterior motives," Shangguan You’s voice rang out, cold as ice, making everyone feel inexplicably chilled.
"Young lady, one can eat indiscriminately but cannot speak carelessly. Everything our Li Family has done was conducted legally," the elder of the Li Family spoke gravely.
"Shangguan You, tell us, what illegal research have they conducted?" Chairman Fang glanced at the Li father and son, causing the words they wanted to say to die in their throats, looking at Shangguan You with an amused expression.
"You’ll know when you see it," Shangguan You said with a faint smile, pulling out a small DV camcorder from her hand. The scene on the camcorder appeared clearly before everyone’s eyes.
The footage showed what appeared to be a secret research facility. There, Li Wanying was dressed in a white coat and mask, injecting some kind of drug into someone. Plainly speaking, it was a secret laboratory. It contained not only human subjects but animals as well. After being injected with the drugs, some of the humans became neither human nor ghost.
"If you don’t believe it, I can take you there for verification. Moreover, a batch of these drugs was erroneously sent to my father’s troops," Shangguan You continued.
"Erroneously sent?" Not only Chairman Fang but also Shangguan Hao and the others were puzzled.
"Yes, because my father’s troops are composed of the absolute elite, and there aren’t even mice, let alone snakes, on the mountain behind their base. Hence, when this batch of snake antivenom was sent there by mistake, they didn’t rush to exchange it, since each batch of antivenom is kept as a reserve supply and usually returned unopened," Shangguan You’s eyes shimmered as she spoke calmly.
"But who could have known snakes would suddenly appear on the mountain and many people would be poisoned? Although I neutralized their venom, I initially withheld the antidote from Liu Dabao for my own selfish reasons, which led to him being injected with that serum, which contained unknown elements. That’s why he underwent such a radical transformation. It was also because of my Antidote Pill that some of the toxins were neutralized."
"That’s why he didn’t lose his mind. And the news of Liu Dabao being injected with the tainted serum also reached the ears of certain individuals, which is why there was an attempt on my life that day. Subsequently, nearly every night, people were lurking around me, trying to make me disappear and silence me for good, as I was the only one who realized there was a problem with that batch of serum."
Shangguan You spoke calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter, but her words made the hearts of Shangguan Hao and the others leap into their throats, especially Yu Zijin, who lived and ate with Shangguan You every day without noticing anything.
"And the reason those two captured men could escape was because they had allies within the troops who deliberately allowed them to escape. Now, although that batch of serum has been returned, they are still worried about this secret being discovered, so they are doing everything in their power to try to make the Shangguan Family and the Yu Family disappear from this world forever," Shangguan You said with a cold laugh, watching the Li father and son’s faces grow even colder before shifting her gaze to a certain corner of the room. "But what you didn’t expect is that man proposes, God disposes; your plan still failed. I’m sorry, Auntie Li, since you’re here, why don’t you show yourself? There’s no need to hide."
With Shangguan You’s words, several presences were felt in the room, and Li Wanying, a dark figure, was apprehended and brought into the interrogation room. Her body was restrained, unable to move. It was indeed surprising that Li Wanying dared to appear here; she truly had incredible nerve.
"You’re talking nonsense, all of it is nonsense!" the Li family’s elder and Li Junjie roared in unison. They didn’t believe a word Shangguan You said and would never admit to it; they’d rather die than confess. Such an accusation could destroy the entire foundation of the Li Family in Beijing, leaving them no chance of ever recovering.
It was truly an unexpected turn of events. Initially, they had framed the Shangguan Family, but now they found themselves being accused by the Shangguan Family.
"Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know in your hearts, don’t you, Auntie Li?" Shangguan You sneered, as the video on the DV camcorder continued, the cruel and bloody scenes burning themselves into their vision.
