2296 A Secret That Even Feng Yu’s Ident.i.ty Is Not Enough to Contact

This was the first time he had mentioned her background.

After all, the Ji family was in chaos. With Feng Yu’s status, he must have surely heard the news.

However, he never mentioned it.

Qiao Nian never mentioned it, either.

At this moment, Feng Yu faced this problem head-on without hiding anything.

Qiao Nian was also straightforward.

“Yes, I’ve been looking into the cause of her death.”

Feng Yu already knew the answer. However, he still sucked in a breath of cold air and sighed deeply when she admitted it. “Y-You shouldn’t have gotten involved in this muddy water. I’ve always been unwilling to ask you about this because I didn’t want you to fall into this pit. You were unwilling to return to the Ji family. I thought you didn’t care… about this matter. Who knew that you… had been investigating it.”

Qiao Nian did not comment.

Feng Yu was silent for a moment before asking, “How much have you found out?”

Qiao Nian returned to the house and placed her phone on the stand on the desk. Then, she moved aside so that Feng Yu could see her fully. “I found out that her death is related to the Ji family. The First Research Inst.i.tute is also keeping it a secret.”

A hint of shame appeared on Feng Yu’s face. “I…”

Qiao Nian continued, “I found out that there seems to be a huge hand behind all of this. It’s not a person, but a faction. They don’t want me to investigate to the end.

“In fact… they’re even keeping people’s mouths shut and making everyone who knows the inside story shut up and not mention that a person named Ji Qing ever existed.”

Feng Yu lowered his head.

After a long time, he looked up and said to the girl on the other end of the video call, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you, nor am I afraid. I didn’t tell you because I wanted to protect you. But since you want to know and have been investigating this matter, I might as well tell you instead of watching you get hurt.

“However, what I know is limited. The forces involved are too huge. I’ve only found the tip of the iceberg about your mother after so many years.”

Next, Qiao Nian quietly listened as Feng Yu told her about what happened 20 years ago.

An hour later.

Qiao Nian hung up and stared at the computer screen for a long time.

Feng Yu did not know much. He only knew about the parts involving the First Research Inst.i.tute.

Twenty years ago, Ji Qing entered the Level 8 laboratory in her early twenties and formed a scientific research team with Xie Tingyun, Gu Hengbo, and a few others equally talented.

In the beginning, everyone had a good relations.h.i.+p.

However, a year later, no one knew what conflicts happened between them. In short, the outcome was that Ji Qing left the independent continent, Xie Tingyun fell ill, and Gu Hengbo stayed in the First Research Inst.i.tute alone.

After that, Feng Yu received the news that Ji Qing had pa.s.sed away.

As for the Martin family’s financial support for the First Research Inst.i.tute, Feng Yu was direct.

Any research required a lot of money. The First Research Inst.i.tute was just a research inst.i.tute and could not make money. Most of the time, it needed the financial support of various large factions.

Martin represented the reclusive family.

Before Feng Yu took over the First Research Inst.i.tute, the reclusive family had been supporting it with a large amount of funds.

Of course, in exchange, the reclusive family had the priority to use the results developed by the research inst.i.tute.

Feng Yu did not know why Ji Qing left the research inst.i.tute, but he told Qiao Nian that he always suspected that her mother’s death was related to the reclusive family.

As for their relations.h.i.+p… Given his status, it was not enough to come into contact with these secrets.

A secret that even Feng Yu’s current status could not come into contact with… The corners of Qiao Nian’s lips curled up, and the light in her eyes intensified. She wanted to investigate it to the end!
