Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 600 - 580: Do You Think This Is Detective Conan?

"Qianqian was injured without you lifting a finger? Are you doing this with your mind?" Luo Yanhao couldn’t stand it and grabbed Han Chen’s collar again.

Luo Qianqian and Luo Yanran looked at each other, then both shook their heads.

Luo Qianqian spoke up to stop him, "Second brother, wait a minute... He, he seems to really not have done anything." Then she turned to Han Chen, "But then, where is Xiu Ran?"

"She is at the hotel, I feared it was unsafe at home." He said with a bitter smile, "You might not believe what I’m about to say, but the things I’ve done... Never mind." He waved his hand, knocking Luo Yanhao’s hand away and turned, intending to leave.

"I hate it the most!" Luo Yanran directly kicked Han Chen, sending him tumbling to the ground. If you asked who was the most blameless in throwing punches here? It definitely had to be him and Luo Qianqian. Since Luo Qianqian was wearing a skirt and it was inconvenient for her to make a move, he’d do it instead, "People who talk in halves!!!"

Luo Qianqian was speechless, but indeed, her face showed intense curiosity. She masked her curiosity, and spoke calmly, "I can’t promise I won’t tell the other people in the villa, but I assure you, what happens inside the villa won’t be known outside."

Han Chen was startled, and looked toward Jimo Cheng standing at the door. He smiled bitterly, yes, if it were someone from the Jimo Family, they might already know some things, so what’s the point of keeping secrets?

Moreover, the news of Luo Qianqian’s engagement with someone from the Jimo Family had already been reported in this morning’s newspaper.

"You know Hei Yu, you must be aware of his base, right?" Han Chen hesitated for a moment, as if organizing his words.

Luo Qianqian nodded, "One of my teachers."

"That is one of the information technology bases. The Han Family serves at the biotechnology base, in other words, a pharmaceutical research institute," he said, his eyes looking towards Luo Yanhai and the others, "People like you with military talent will become front-line identities, those who are smart and excel in a certain domain will belong to these major bases. The Han Family’s role in the military is just to draw attention in public, the real core has never been visible."

Luo Qianqian’s heart was thumping fiercely, feeling as if she had stumbled upon some terrifying information.

"The biotechnology base mysteriously disappeared a decade ago, the research institute turned into ruins, and not a single record was left. It never surfaced again, but the materials from that base are unique, so most of the bases are now trying to replicate it," Han Chen swallowed hard, "That base’s research subject was life."

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched, why did she feel like she had inexplicably entered a strange circle? Successive incidents were shattering her common sense?

"So what you are saying, Han Lei was captured to be used as a research object?" Luo Qianqian’s corner of the mouth trembled uncontrollably, she must still be half asleep.

"We, who are in the limelight, are, to a lesser or greater extent, used as test subjects," Han Chen said with a bitter smile. "The reason I came to you is that Han Lei said if it was you, you might be able to stop all this. Your status is more advantageous than ours."

"So, all this, is it personal or..."

"It’s orchestrated by an influential figure, a secret operation, I can’t say specifically who," Han Chen pursed his lips, swallowed hard, "Han Lei is currently being experimented with a new drug, no one knows the consequences."

"There are no lab rats?" Luo Qianqian frowned tightly.

"That phase is already over, now it’s the human testing phase." Han Chen shook his head, "In some way I should thank him, if he hadn’t been brought back, it would be me undergoing those experiments now."

Luo Qianqian suddenly thought of those Han Family members who went to find Han Lei before, her expression chilling, "So it was you who sent people to find him?"

"How could it be? I wished he had escaped," said Han Chen, waving his hand, "but they, they couldn’t escape. Being part of the Han Family, it’s a fate they can’t escape."

Luo Yanran was completely dumbfounded, what had he heard? What drugs? Still in the experimental phase? Did they think this was "Detective Conan"? Something like ATPX4869?

"What do you need me to do?" Luo Qianqian suddenly didn’t understand. What could she do? She couldn’t save these people, nor could she possibly take down some base headquarters, especially since they didn’t even know where it was.

"Wait, so Hei Yu also..."

"No, he’s not, his place is state-owned," Han Chen shook his head, "which is why you’re safe there."

After thinking for a moment, Han Chen added, "By becoming a member of the Jimo Family, you represent that you and the Luo Family have taken a neutral stance, aligning with the Mo Studio. And I, I hope you stand against the faction of the Han and Xu Families..."

"So you want me to be your enemy?" Luo Qianqian blinked, and someone had actually come asking her to be an enemy? It was her first time encountering this.

"No, it’s being an enemy to a faction, not me. I am in the Han Family, and Han Lei is in the Han Family, which is why I must do this," Han Chen pursed his lips, "I can tell you some related news."

"What?" Luo Qianqian was already curious about the information brought by Han Chen because his words always seemed completely different from the world she knew.

"The Chu Family supports multiple bases for research, so, the Chu Family is your adversary, and thus it’s not strange for them to do anything to you for their foster daughter. After all, Chu Ting had sought to apprentice under Jimo Kong but was repeatedly turned away. And that foster daughter, she belongs to the Xu Family," Han Chen said calmly.

Two sentences explained why Xu Xiaoxiao had moved against her, the Xu Family’s daughter, the Chu Family’s foster daughter, also wanted to apprentice under the Jimo Family? So Mo Studio almost ended up siding with the Xu Family because of her?

"What???" Luo Yanran was totally flabbergasted, could it be that his brain capacity was insufficient? Why couldn’t he understand what Han Chen was talking about?

"Here’s my contact information." Luo Qianqian casually picked up her phone, showed a string of numbers to Han Chen, who nodded after looking at them several times.

"I need some time to process all this information," said Luo Qianqian as she turned and left.

Yet Luo Yanwu squinted his eyes as he approached Han Chen, "How are we supposed to believe you’re not sent by the Han Family?"

Han Chen smiled wryly, "I indeed have no way to prove it, but right now, I should be at the police station. I snuck out," he paused before continuing, "I’ve told you all I can. This information was obtained because it targeted Luo Qianqian. Those people were from the Xu Family, and they’ve likely been dealt with. Behind the Xu Family is Chu Ting, and behind her is the Chu Family, the foremost among the Four Great Families."

"I have a question," Luo Yanhai squinted his eyes, staring into Han Chen’s eyes, "Surely your plans must have been in place for more than a month. But how did you know Qianqian was definitely going to enter this school? Is Shufan in your hands?"

"We were uncertain if she would enter this school, so we had people at all the major universities," Han Chen appeared nonchalant, "As for Shufan, I can assure you he’s not in anyone’s hands, because we also specifically searched for him, to clear his name back when it wasn’t suitable to fall out with the Luo Family."
