“Before 1 returned, I discussed that matter with Fifth Master.”

Zong Zhengyu said slowly, “Fifth Master had indeed set his eyes on that project from the beginning. He flew to Jianglan City many times to discuss it with your grandfather. In the end, when he found that that project was not feasible, he temporarily gave up.”

Mu Anan’s tension was instantly released.

No, it wasn’t.

The mastermind wasn’t Seventh Master’s biological brother.

All the negative thoughts in her mind earlier would not exist.

“But you said that Fifth Master is a crazy researcher and won’t give up easily, right?” Mu Anan asked.

Zong Zhengyu nodded.

The cold wind blew in from outside the window, and Mu Anan’s shoulders trembled.

Zong Zhengyu got up and helped Mu Anan to lean against the headboard. He pulled the blanket over her to prevent her from catching a cold.

He said, “Fifth Master had an agreement with your grandfather. He asked them to send him that smart drug plan, and he would try to improve it. However, he never received that proposal.”

“Because something happened to grandfather and mother.” Mu Anan said.

Zong Zhengyu nodded.

At that point, he explained the details of the Mu family incident to Mu Anan.

“But why do the Jiang family keep saying you’re the pillar behind them?” Mu Anan asked.

Since they were already on that matter, Mu Anan wanted to clarify things once and for all.

The Seventh Master thought the same too.

Therefore, when Mu Anan asked that question, he answered straightforwardly, “Someone is impersonating me.”

Mu Anan had a rough guess, “All these years, you’ve been keeping me away from the Jiang family because of that person who impersonated you?”

Zong Zhengyu nodded.

Mu Anan continued, “Jianglan City is your territory, but that person can impersonate you without being caught. That means that he has a lot of power. It may not even be just one person. It may be an organization or even someone involved with the Zong family of Liuli City.”

A mysterious person or organization in Jianglan City that even Zong Zhengyu might not be able to find out was definitely dangerous.

That was why Seventh Master didn’t want her to be involved in that danger.

Mu Anan’s brain processed quickly. She had basically figured out the whole thing clearly.

But there was one more thing.

Mu Anan asked, “Seventh Master, you didn’t let me come into contact with the Jiang family because you wanted to protect me. You didn’t want the mastermind to discover I was my mother’s daughter. However, my mother never told me anything about the research. What’s the point if they find me?”

“Those people protect the Jiang family because they want the plan, but I don’t have the plan.”

Zong Zhengyu listened to Mu Anan’s speculation silently.

The girl was very smart.

He had only briefly explained a part of the matter, and she could already guess the rest clearly.

At that moment, Zong Zhengyu couldn’t help but smile.

There was pride in his eyes.

He was proud of the girl.

Zong Zhengyu reached out and pinched Mu Anan’s ear, “Girl, your mother has already given you the secret of the smart drug.”

Mu Anan was shocked and stared at Zong Zhengyu with a puzzled expression.

Zong Zhengyu said, “The tattoo on your back.”

As soon as he said that, Mu Anan immediately sat up straight and subconsciously touched her back.

However, she did not even know where the tattoo on her back was.

When her mother tattooed it, she was still too young and had basically forgotten about it when she grew up.

In the past few years, the only time she remembered that tattoo was when she had dinner with Seventh Master in Liuli City. She was warned by Seventh Master when she wore the bareback gown.

At that time, Mu Anan did not take it to heart.

“Your mother opened a bank account in your name, but the bank’s name, location, and pa.s.sword are all in your tattoo.” Zong Zhengyu explained to her.

Mu Anan didn’t say anything but only kept touching her back.

Actually, she couldn’t feel anything.

She could only feel the sweat on her back, but Mu Anan still stubbornly touched her back.

That was the secret between her mother and grandfather.

It was a secret that her mother and grandfather had always protected.

Back then, when she was placed in the closet, her mother and grandfather would rather die tragically to protect Mu Anan.

“Girl, your mother loves you very much. It’s not because of that secret that she risked her life to protect you.” Zong Zhengyu suddenly said.

Mu Anan looked up, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Then, she shook her head vigorously, “I never doubted it, and 1 don’t doubt it.”

Her mother and grandfather loved her very much.

Mu Anan knew that very well.

Zong Zhengyu reached out to wipe the tears from Mu Anan’s eyes.

Mu Anan sniffed, “Seventh Master, do you have any clues about the mastermind?”

“Not at the moment.” Zong Zhengyu replied, “But the Jiang family is useless now. I will get rid of them.”

Zong Zhengyu’s voice was very calm.

It was as if he was making a decision about a small plan in the company.

Mu Anan also knew that as long as she nodded at that moment, all her grudges would end.

All her grudges with Jiang Zhen would end.

However…

Mu Anan shook her head and said, “But the Jiang family must know the mastermind’s ident.i.ty.”

“The Jiang family doesn’t know.” Zong Zhengyu replied.

“But there will definitely be clues.” Mu Anan said with certainty as she stared at Zong Zhengyu.

Zong Zhengyu, on the other hand, understood something else from Mu Anan’s words and gaze.

Mu Anan was about to say something when Zong Zhengyu said, “Impossible.”

“Seventh Master?”

“Don’t even think about it. It’s impossible.” Zong Zhengyu spoke quickly.

Before Mu Anan could say her decision, he had already forcefully interrupted her.

However, Mu Anan did not intend to give up.

She struggled and wanted to get up from the bed, but Zong Zhengyu held her down, “Don’t move.”

Mu Anan didn’t listen to him. She struggled to get up from the bed.

Zong Zhengyu held her leg and frowned, “You sprained your ankle, don’t move around, understand?”

Mu Anan shook her head and did not speak. She kept struggling and insisted on getting up.

Seventh Master was indeed angry, but he couldn’t do anything with Mu Anan when she got stubborn.

In the end, he scooped the girl up from the bed, placed her on his lap, and held her down, “You.”

“1 want to return to the Jiang family as Mu Qing’s daughter!” Mu Anan hugged Zong Zhengyu’s neck and said that sentence with certainty and seriousness.

The sentence that was denied by Zong Zhengyu before she could say it.

“1 said you’re not allowed.” Zong Zhengyu’s att.i.tude was firm.

Although he did not know who was behind the Jiang family, it was obvious that they had received news that Mu Anan had the smart drug plan.

She would be in danger once she returned to the Jiang family as Mu Qing’s daughter.

Mu Anan said, “1 used to think that it was that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Jiang Zhen who killed mother and grandfather. But after hearing all these, I know that the real mastermind is the person behind the scenes.”

“Even if the Jiang family doesn’t know what kind of power is behind the scenes, there must be clues. As long as I go back, even if 1 can’t find any clues in the Jiang family, I can still lure those forces out!”

Zong Zhengyu’s expression darkened even more after Mu Anan said that.

That was because the girl was completely using herself as bait to lure the mastermind.

Bait.

The risk factor was extremely high.

Something would happen to her at any time, anywhere, perhaps in the next second.

Zong Zhengyu tightened his arms. He couldn’t let the girl be in danger or let anything happen to her.

How could he allow something bad to happen to the person he wanted to keep by his side for the rest of his life?
