“What’s Eldest Brother’s exact situation?” Fu Xiuyuan asked as he walked forward.

“This is the detailed information.”

Fu Xiuyuan took it and flipped through it as he walked, checking the situation. His brows slowly furrowed.

Things were a little complicated.

Through the information of banks and securities companies, the Canadian side determined that the drugs that Gu Jingyuan imported and exported contained contraband and were suspected of various safety laws.

Although it was obvious that they wanted to frame him, it was probably useless to reason with them.

He looked at s.h.i.+ Jin, who understood the logic. She said, “Even if it’s useless, we have to go over and take a look. At least see him personally.”

They reached Canada.

Fu Xiuyuan and s.h.i.+ Jin found someone they knew who agreed to let them see Gu Jingyuan.

“It’s great to be able to see Eldest Brother. At least the matter can be resolved,” s.h.i.+ Jin said softly.

“Yes. Don’t worry too much. It won’t be much of a problem.”

“Hubby, thank you for coming with me.”

Fu Xiuyuan’s fingers tightened on hers.

The two of them went to a private club that had already been booked.

This was a very private meeting place.

Gu Jingyuan could not meet any of his family and friends for the time being. This was an opportunity that Fu Xiuyuan and s.h.i.+ Jin had fought for. They could not be too ostentatious.

When they reached the designated spot, s.h.i.+ Jin was in no mood for coffee. She held the cup in her hand and stirred it with a spoon. The rich fragrance of the brown liquid did not make her feel much better.

When she heard the knock on the door, s.h.i.+ Jin immediately stood up.

Fu Xiuyuan pressed her back into the sofa and gestured that he would open the door.

He headed for the door and s.h.i.+ Jin couldn’t resist following.

Fu Xiuyuan opened the door and was surprised to see who appeared outside.

“Second Master Qiao?”

Dressed in a rather well-scrubbed suit, Qiao Zhuoli stood in the doorway and flicked imaginary dust from his body. “Don’t you think it’s coincidental?”

“What are you doing here?” s.h.i.+ Jin looked at him suspiciously.

Qiao Zhuoli walked in and lowered his eyes before saying slowly, “Do you want to see Gu Jingyuan?”

“Yes, I want to see my big brother.”

“It’s too bad you won’t be able to see each other.” Qiao Zhuoli smile was secretive. “Go back.”

At this moment, Qiao Zhuoli looked very unfamiliar. Even though he usually didn’t speak much and didn’t blend in with the crowd, he was even more withdrawn now.

s.h.i.+ Jin’s gaze gradually turned cold. “We already agreed that my brother would meet us here. Was it you who interfered?”

“Smart of you to think of it so quickly.” Qiao Zhuoli smiled and clapped. “I like dealing with smart people.”

Fu Xiuyuan stood beside s.h.i.+ Jin, studying Qiao Zhuoli. “Why?”

Qiao Zhuoli laughed out loud. “Why? What do you mean why? Fu Xiuyuan, we’ve known each other for so many years, and you really don’t know? Why? Or have you never taken my affairs seriously?”

Fu Xiuyuan’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You mean something that happened more than twenty years ago?”

“It’s good that you remember. I thought you’d forgotten all those years ago. Of course, it’s only natural that you’d forget, because you don’t know pain when the knife isn’t in you.”

His laugh was loud, but there was no pleasure in it.

He said, “s.h.i.+ Jin isn’t from the Li family. This matter has nothing to do with you, so there’s no need for you to help Gu Jingyuan. Fu Xiuyuan, I’ve always treated you as a friend. If you treat me as a friend too, don’t continue to interfere in this matter. Go back.”

“Gu Jingyuan is s.h.i.+ Jin’s elder brother. I have to interfere in this matter.”

“Fu Xiuyuan! Don’t force me to fall out with you!”

Qiao Zhuoli’s face turned sinister.

s.h.i.+ Jin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. “You mean what happened to the Li family more than twenty years ago?”

“Why, haven’t you completely understood? Then I might as well explain it to you again. More than twenty years ago, your Li family’s Old Master Li studied foodstuffs while his eldest son, Li Nan, studied medicine. The entire Li family grasped these two technologies and was in the limelight in the entire capital. Especially Li Nan. Not only did he study medicine and do medicine business, but he was also an outstanding doctor.

The entire imperial capital said that he was a holy hand that everyone respected and admired. Unfortunately, they did not know that although this person had skills, he was a person who was blinded by greed! Back then, there was a drug that he had just developed and used without any human testing.

His kind of medicine was sold for a sky-high price. Many people used it, and he made a lot of money. In the end, those drugs had huge side effects! Those side effects made some lives worse than death. For example, my father died with great pain after enduring torture for more than ten years.

And some people, because of those side effects, gave birth to children with delayed IQ development. For example, my mother gave birth to my sister.

There are many others like me. However, many people had already treated it as if it was over. They were unwilling to mention it or suffer anymore.

Unfortunately, someone like me, with Qiao Lian in front of me, is reminded of my pain every day and the pain of our entire family!

Who knows how I survived all these years in a family where my father was sick all year round, my sister was crazy, and my mother was constantly crying?

Li Nan, on the other hand, had burned down his pharmaceutical factory. He’d committed suicide out of fear of punishment and put everything to rest.

However, those of us who endure pain not only have to endure those painful days in the past, but also many painful days and nights in the future.

s.h.i.+ Jin, don’t you think that someone in the Li family should take responsibility for what they did? Don’t you think that someone needs to give an explanation?”

As he spoke, many of s.h.i.+ Jin’s past memories gradually surfaced.

Previously, the Li family had declined from being one of the four major families in the capital and had fallen into a situation where they were inferior to ordinary n.o.bles. Her grandfather, father, and mother had kept their mouths shut and avoided talking about the exact reason.

These people in the imperial capital also seemed to avoid talking about this matter. Therefore, s.h.i.+ Jin did not know about these things in her previous life.

In this life, she was only vaguely aware of it, but she had yet to completely figure it out.

After hearing Qiao Zhuoli’s words, she realized why the people in the capital had such a bad opinion of the Li family.

Only then did she understand why her father would rather enter the entertainment industry than manage the family business. Only then did she understand why her grandfather would go so far away to do research and never stay in the capital.

There was no place for the Li family in the capital.
