Chapter 293:1 Have a Secret

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Realizing what she was going to do next, Mu Anan was so nervous that her heart was beating wildly.

She could even hear her own heart pounding like thunder.

She was extremely nervous.

She had hidden that secret for too long, carefully and at a huge expense.

She had been hiding it cautiously.

Even if she were to reveal a little bit of information, it would seem like a battle.

And right then, she was certain she wanted to reveal that secret.

She wanted to be honest.

When Mu Anan lowered her head, she secretly took a few deep breaths.

After staring at Zong Zhengyus hand for a while, her little finger finally took small steps on the quilt, slowly approaching Zong Zhengyus hand and then grabbing his index finger.

She held it tightly.

Zong Zhengyus hand was a heaven for those with a fetish for hands. His fingers were distinct and long.

Whats wrong? Seventh Master glanced at Mu Anan with a puzzled expression.

Mu Anan had her gaze lowered, but when she was finally mentally prepared, she looked up at Zong Zhengyu solemnly.

She said very seriously, Seventh Master, I have a secret to tell you.

I have a secret.

She had hidden it for a very long time.

There were many pa.s.sionate and strong emotions in it, but there were also many obscure, cautious, and humble emotions.

They had been hiding in the dark for very long like a coward.

But the secret was finally going to be revealed.

Mu Anan said, Seventh Master, actually, when 1 was being taken care of by you, I felt a warmth and peace of mind that Ive never felt before.

You always say that I have no sense of security, but you are my sense of security.

Mu Anan spoke very seriously and sincerely.

So, I

Knock knock knock

Before Mu Anan could finish her sentence, there was an untimely knock on the door, interrupting Mu Anans mustered courage to confess.

When Luo Sen opened the door and entered, he did not realize that his ordinary action had shattered a brave girls confession.

Luo Sen reported dutifully, Seventh Master, Miss Anan, the Jiang family is here.

Mu Anan frowned when she heard that, The Jiang family?

Jiang Zhen, Madam Guo Yuehua, and Jiang Qin are here. They are now outside the entrance of Yuyuan Estate. Luo Sen reported.

What are they doing here? Mu Anan asked subconsciously.

Luo Sen replied, According to the report, Jiang Zhen expressed that there was some misunderstanding between Jiang Qin and Miss Anan, so they came to apologize in person and hope that you can give them a chance.

Tell them to scram. Zong Zhengyus tone was very cold, his face showing a bit of impatience. He was unwilling to continue talking about unimportant things.

He reached out and tidied Mu Anans bangs, Continue.

Mu Anans mind was still on the Jiang familys side. When she heard Zong Zhengyus reply, she was a little stunned. After a while, she turned her gaze back to the Seventh Master.

Seventh Master said, I havent heard your secret.

Mu Anan did not answer.

She mustered up all her courage when she planned to reveal that secret.

However, courage was only temporary.

When Luo Sen came in, Mu Anans courage was shattered.

To have her start over again?

That would be unlikely.

Moreover, Luo Sen had interrupted because of the Jiang familys matter, which made Mu Anan a little confused.

Besides Zong Zhengyu, the most important thing in Mu Anans life was the blood feud with the Jiang family.

Mu Anan couldnt fully understand why Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua had personally brought Jiang Qin to apologize.

Logically speaking, Jiang Qin was not involved in the Jiang Capitals incident. It was all Chen Huas doing. As long as they did not investigate carefully, they would not be able to find out that it was Jiang Qin.

Thinking of that, just as Luo Sen was about to leave, Mu Anan shouted, Wait a minute.

Luo Sen stopped in his tracks.

Mu Anan glanced at Zong Zhengyu and said, Let them wait.

As soon as she said that, Seventh Master immediately frowned.

Luo Sen subconsciously looked at Seventh Master.

Zong Zhengyu looked at Mu Anan but gestured to Luo Sen to do as he was told.

Luo Sen did not say anything else and left.

Mu Anans bedroom fell silent as the door closed after Luo Sen left.

Zong Zhengyu did not speak.

Mu Anan also lowered her gaze, trying to sort out her messy emotions.

After about two to three minutes, Mu Anan finally spoke, Seventh Master, do you remember that time on the cruise?

Mu Anan looked up, When you were dealing with Master Gui on the cruise, I heard him say that you were the one protecting the Jiang family. I wanted to ask him about it, but 1 didnt succeed. And that time, you told me that you would give me an explanation regarding the Jiang family.

Zong Zhengyu nodded.

Can you tell me now? Mu Anan asked, 1 know youve been keeping me away from the Jiang family, but this grudge is rooted in my heart. I cant stand it anymore, Seventh Master.

Then Ill give you an explanation now. Zong Zhengyu replied.

Mu Anans heart skipped a beat.

Mu Anan was a little surprised by Seventh Masters straightforward answer.

She even forgot to reply to Seventh Master.

Zong Zhengyu had been saying, This time, Im not only dealing with the Old Masters illness in Liuli City but also dealing with a mole in the Zong family. Im also investigating the person behind the Jiang family all these years.

Mu Anan did not say anything and just listened quietly.

The real reason why your mother and grandfather were killed back then was because they had developed a drug that targeted intelligence. It was temporarily called the smart drug in the project.

This drug can fundamentally solve the intelligence problems of some slow-witted children. It can even directly increase childrens intelligence with average or good apt.i.tude.

Once this drug is released, it will cause a stir in the entire research community. Although your mother and grandfather didnt officially release it to the public at that time, everyone in the industry knew about it and had their eyes on it.

That was the first time Mu Anan had heard about her mother and grandfathers experiment.

It was rare to hear Seventh Master say so much at once.

Mu Anan knew that her mother and grandfather were excellent medical researchers. She did not think about questioning them when she was young and did not dare to ask them when she grew older.

Zong Zhengyu said, However, your mother and grandfather discovered that this drug had extremely strong side effects, which would cause the users intelligence and bodily functions to deteriorate. After a series of research, they decided to destroy the project after confirming that it could not be continued. However, Jiang Zhen saw a business opportunity and someone also secretly bought it at a high price, wanting to get it at all costs.

But my mother and grandfather refused, which resulted in that murder case. Mu Anan continued Zong Zhengyus words, So, the real murderer is not only Jiang Zhen but also the person who wanted this medicine at a high price. He is the real culprit.

Zong Zhengyu nodded.

Seventh Master found the mastermind in Liuli City, right?

The clue led me to Fifth Master.

Mu Anan instantly tensed up when Zong Zhengyu said that.

Fifth Master.

The person ranked fifth in Phecda. Zong Zhengyus biological brother!

Its him? Mu Anan stared at Zong Zhengyu and asked.

Fifth Master is a research maniac. Hes willing to do anything for research. Zong Zhengyu gave a simple introduction.

Mu Anan was extremely nervous.

Her brain started processing. If it really were Fifth Master, then what should she and Zong Zhengyu do?

It was impossible for her not to take revenge.

But that person was Zong Zhengyus biological brother!

If she took revenge, what would happen to her and Seventh Master?

Would they fall out?

However, just as Mu Anans mind was in a mess and her imagination was running wild, Zong Zhengyu said something.
