Wei Ziqi thought for a long time but couldn't think of a target. There wasn't a single person in his memory who fit the description of an enemy.
"Is there anything else you're hiding? You'd better think it through. If one day I find out you've lied or hidden something, Du Ziming will be in quite a tough situation."
Wei Ziqi continued to threaten, determined to get Mrs. Du to spill everything.
"Really, there's nothing else. I've done all this for Ziming. I wouldn't hide anything and put him in danger."
Mrs. Du calmly shook her head. Wei Ziqi carefully observed her expression. After confirming that she was probably telling the truth, he didn't press her any further. Instead, he directly called the police to arrest Mrs. Du.
After the police left, Miaomiao quickly took Wei Ziqi back to the research institute.
The research institute was in a complete mess. They were waiting for Wei Ziqi to go back and deal with the data issue. There was no time to waste.
Wei Ziqi, who still wanted to ask Uncle Du some questions, was forcibly dragged away. He had no choice but to accept it. Anyway, Uncle Du wasn't going to run away. He could ask the remaining questions later.
After returning to the research institute, Wei Ziqi found that there wasn't a major problem. It was just that the original materials couldn't be found. When the senior took the data from his area, he took the draft by mistake. Since all the initial drafts were mixed together, it was impossible to tell which one was the final result. He just needed to report the final correct data.
After the data was sorted out, the laboratory returned to its usual orderly state. Grandpa Sun decisively cancelled the holidays of Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi. As soon as the data came out, the experiment entered the next stage and was about to achieve results. He insisted that these two kids stay around and learn well.
By the time they finished all the work in the laboratory, it was already half a month later. During this period, they didn't even go to school. They were busy in the laboratory day and night.
When they finally had some time to rest, Wei Ziqi remembered the last assassination.
He still had a lot of questions to ask Uncle Du.
No, now that the former Mrs. Du was gone, Wei Ziqi readily accepted this father.
Originally, he didn't have much of an issue with his father. After all, this father had always been infinitely tolerant, forgiving, and smiling at him. His biggest concern was Mrs. Du in that family. Wei Ziqi originally thought that since there was a mother in that family who looked down on him, there was no need for him to get involved. Now that the matter was resolved and this woman had disappeared from the Du family, there was no need for him to be cold - faced to his father anymore. After all, his father had done nothing wrong.
However, it wasn't convenient to meet directly at the moment, so Wei Ziqi chose to ask by phone.
After a conversation, Wei Ziqi roughly knew who was behind the attack. But from every aspect, there was no evidence. The other party had done everything flawlessly. There were no traces left when they talked and made a deal with Mrs. Du. The cleanup work was done extremely well. They could only follow the clue of the Du family's heirloom. At present, there was no way to bring the other party to justice.
The family that made a deal with Mrs. Du was the Lu family. The Lu family was quite well - known in the imperial capital. It was said that the Lu family had a long - standing heritage and was a very ancient family. They mainly engaged in antique trading. They had never had any business dealings with the Du family before, let alone any other exchanges.
No one knew where the Lu family heard that the Du family had a family heirloom. They found Uncle Du and said that no matter how high the price was, as long as Uncle Du was willing to sell, they could afford it.
Seeing their determined attitude, Uncle Du was really speechless. The Du family wasn't a small family. Although the population was sparse, so it didn't seem very powerful, it was still a family with a long - standing heritage. The things passed down from the ancestors, even if it was just a begging bowl, couldn't be sold to others. It was a symbol of a family and represented the rise and fall of a family.
So Uncle Du firmly refused the Lu family. Then came the incident of Mrs. Du trying to murder her husband and son.
The strange thing was that the Du family's heirlooms weren't really extremely valuable. There were three heirlooms in total.
One was a sword inlaid with many gems. It was just more华丽 in appearance. It wasn't even sharpened and could only be used for decoration at most.
One was a vase, which was said to be something from the ancient imperial palace. This thing was quite valuable, but it wasn't valuable enough to make someone kill for it.
The last one was a pot of flowers. This flower was a bit strange. It bloomed all year round without withering, just like a fake flower. As long as it was given a little water, it could survive. It didn't need careful care at all. But this flower was extremely beautiful. Being able to bloom for so long was really a strange thing. Uncle Du had checked many ancient books but still couldn't find out the name of this flower. Since it was left by the ancestors, he cherished it very much.
All the things were in the old house, not stored here. There was no need for a bank safe or anything. There was a secret passage in the old house, and all the important things in the family were stored in it. The secret passage was extremely hidden, so there was no need to worry at all.
When the Lu family came, they didn't say specifically which one of the three heirlooms they wanted. They just said they wanted to buy it. So now Uncle Du couldn't be sure which heirloom had brought the disaster.
Although the crisis had been resolved for the time being, Uncle Du had the idea of selling all three heirlooms to the other party. After all, these inanimate objects were not as important as human lives. Since the other party wanted them, he could sell them to avoid trouble.
His idea was blocked by Wei Ziqi. What belonged to someone should stay with them. If people could easily get what they wanted through threats, the whole world would be in chaos.
They mustn't give the other party the impression that the Du family was easy to manipulate. If the things were handed over, what if the other party wanted something else in the future? They would just find the family's weakness and use life - threatening means to get anything they wanted.
Because of Wei Ziqi's obstruction, Uncle Du temporarily gave up the idea of handing over the items.
It wasn't appropriate to ask others about this kind of thing. After hanging up the phone, Wei Ziqi had no choice but to report it to Lin Yao.
When Lin Yao received the call, he was also very confused. There were few connections between his side and the imperial capital. Why would someone there want to murder his daughter?
"Okay, I got it. I'll go and check now."
There were people in Nancheng who wanted to kill Miaomiao, and there were also shameless people in the imperial capital who wanted her dead.
His daughter just went to school and came back home obediently every day, always happy and never offending anyone. Where did all these crazy people come from?
