Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Feigned Death
Chi Youyou managed to soothe her dad and let the driver take them back to the Cheng Family home first.
She shared her intuition with them, and also mentioned something else.
"What? The data you provided is fake?"
"Shh! Dad! Be careful of eavesdroppers!"
Chi Guangyi exclaimed, but Chi Youyou quickly covered his mouth.
"If I was hesitant before, now I can be sure that they want more than just the information."
Chi Youyou touched her chin.
"What do you mean?"
Yun Zhi squinted her eyes; matters outside her control really were a headache.
"Grandpa was poisoned to force dad to appear."
"Yes, he’s been Uncle Chi’s teacher for many years. He knows Uncle Chi’s character; he won’t abandon his family."
"But poisoning Grandpa isn’t the only thing; they could’ve done anything else instead. Besides, wouldn’t capturing me and Zaozao be more convenient? If my dad were to abandon Grandpa’s life to protect us, that wouldn’t be wrong either."
People are selfish, but it’s unclear why Elder Kong insists on such a gamble.
"And most importantly, after all these years, why do they still want the data? What does that indicate?"
"It indicates they still haven’t found a way to detoxify."
Yun Zhi suddenly realized, and Chen Zui, who had been deep in thought, relaxed her furrowed brow as she heard Yun Zhi’s words.
"Exactly, that’s why they took such a risky move. What they want is for us to come and cure the old man. Whether they get the data or not doesn’t matter, as long as the old man is cured, he becomes a living remedy!"
After hearing their analysis, the group fell into deep thought.
"If that’s the case, shouldn’t we keep the news that my dad can be cured a secret?"
Cheng Ruosheng tightly held her husband’s hand, feeling enraged inside.
Using her dad as a decoy?
Dream on!
Yun Zhi and Chen Zui exchanged glances and nodded, "Perhaps we could even stage a fake death."
A fake death?
The group was momentarily stunned, then quickly caught on.
"No rush for now. If they discover the data is fake, then it shows they have other plans. If they don’t detect it at all..."
Chi Youyou raised an eyebrow, looking very much like a typical antagonist.
She had seen the data and was genuinely surprised; it was exactly as her father described, a shortcut with more harm than benefit!
Having settled everything, she got in the car and headed straight to school.
Students need to look like students!
Besides, there was a welcome party today; how could she miss such an event?
Upon arriving at school, she noticed it looked entirely different from her last visit; it was beautifully decorated, and with Halloween approaching, many Halloween elements were added to the campus.
Abroad, people take holidays seriously, something she greatly admired. Plus, their welcome parties were so extravagant, throwing a whole school party!
"Youyou, over here!"
Chu Beining had gotten the message and was already waiting for her.
"Senior~"
"Come on, I’ll show you around. They say it’s a welcome party, but really, it’s just an excuse for them to throw a party and have fun!"
Chu Beining spoke her mind, laughing, but this was also great. They could experience the local culture and atmosphere.
As Chi Youyou and Chu Beining joyfully left, a shadow appeared on the other side, taking out a phone to make a call, and whispered:
"The target has appeared."
