The two of them chatted for a while until it was late at night. Liang Ruoxu did not want to cause any more trouble, so she decided to stay over.

“Will there be a problem with me taking a bath at your house?” Liang Ruoxu asked.

“Bath? Didn’t you just soak in the pool?”

“Soak in the pool? Swim, you mean?”

Liang Ruoxu continued, “Besides, a swimming pool is a swimming pool. How can you consider it the same as a bath?”

“Is it really necessary? It’s not like we’ll be making babies every night, so why are you washing until you’re so clean every day?”

“If you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll seize Huaqing Lake tomorrow.”

“Beauty Liang, calm down. I’ll go fill the bathtub.”

“That’s more like it,” Liang Ruoxu said. “By the way, give me a soft copy of the document.”

“Okay, I’ll send it to your phone.”

“Yeah.”

After receiving the soft version of the document, Liang Ruoxu returned to her room.

“Dad, where are you?” Liang Ruoxu asked while holding her phone.

“Someone gave me a bottle of good wine. I couldn’t bear to drink it, so I sent it to your grandfather.”

“Are you at Grandpa’s?”

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“I have an email here. I’ll send it to you. Show it to my grandfather.”

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow. Your grandfather and I are drinking.”

“Stop drinking. You have to look at it now!” Liang Ruoxu said coquettishly.

“Alright, alright, alright. You’ve already sent it, right?” Liang Ruoxu’s father said helplessly.

If he didn’t agree, she would call his father later. If that were to happen, he would be the one who ended being scolded.

“I’ll send it to you now. Call me back when you’re done.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Hurry up and send it.”

After hanging up, Liang Ruoxu sent the document over.

Then, she held her phone and waited for the other party to reply.

Ring ring ring…

Twenty minutes later, Liang Ruoxu’s phone rang.

It was a call from her father, but the person who spoke was her grandfather.

“Girl, where did you get these things?!”

Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather’s tone was extremely stern, causing Liang Ruoxu to feel uncomfortable.

“I can’t say, but I can guarantee that everything recorded in the document is true,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“But that’s only a large part of it. There’s still a small number of higher-ranking people who haven’t been disclosed. I don’t know how to handle this.”

Liang Ruoxu recognized her position. She did not have the ability to handle such a big matter.

If she really ran around like a headless chicken, these people on the list would not sit idly by. She would end up getting herself killed.

Therefore, the best way to handle this matter was to leave it to Grandpa.

“Alright, I understand. Don’t get involved and do your job well.”

“Grandpa!”

“What happened?”

“I do not know how you will handle this matter, but I hope that you can handle it seriously,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“I know what I’m doing. Wait for my news.”

“Got it.”

Creak…

Just as Liang Ruoxu was about to hang up, Lin Yi pushed the door open and entered.

“Didn’t you want to take a bath? I’ve filled the bathtub for you and got a towel for you. Remember to call me when you’re ready to go in.”

With that, Lin Yi turned around and left, leaving Liang Ruoxu alone.

“Little Mi, are you staying at that kid’s house?”

Liang Ruoxu’s face was as red as a small stove.

Beep, beep, beep…

Liang Ruoxu did not know how to explain herself, so she hung up immediately.

There was no way to explain this!

…

In a certain courtyard in Yanjing.

There was a square antique table in the courtyard.

There were three people sitting at the table. One of them was an old man. He was rather thin, but he looked very energetic.

This person was Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather, Liang Xianghe.

Beside Liang Xianghe sat a burly middle-aged man. He had tiger eyes and wolf eyes. His aura was powerful, giving off a dignified feeling.

The man’s name was Liang Cunxiao, and he was Liang Ruoxu’s father.

Beside Liang Cunxiao sat a beautiful middle-aged woman in a long dress. Her hair was wet and she did not put on any makeup. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were exactly the same as Liang Ruoxu’s.

The woman’s name was Shen Shuyi, and she was Liang Ruoxu’s mother.

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, the three of them remained silent.

“What’s going on? She was fine in Yanjing for so many years. Why did something suddenly happen in Zhonghai?” Liang Cunxiao said.

“What’s going on? They’re not even married yet. Why are they staying together? How improper!” Liang Xianghe said.

“Dad, calm down. Don’t get overly excited. Calm down,” Shen Shuyi said.

“Little Mi is already an adult. She knows her limits. Perhaps a group of them are hanging out together. They might not be the only ones there.”

“Is that possible?” Liang Cunxiao said sourly.

“The Liang family’s character is obvious. After being influenced by the two of you for so many years, do you still not know Little Mi’s temperament?” Shen Shuyi said.

“Besides, now is not the time to discuss this. Let’s talk about this document first.”

After Liang Ruoxu’s matter came to an end, the three of them focused their attention on the name list again.

“Dad, this document is no small matter. This will affect everything. Once it’s exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable,” Liang Cunxiao said.

“It’s naturally impossible for us to openly expose it,” Liang Xianghe said. “Therefore, we need to think about how to tackle this.”

“Dad, this might be an opportunity for our Liang family,” Shen Shuyi said.

“Haha, look, my daughter-in-law’s brain is still the best.”

Liang Cunxiao smiled honestly. “My brain has never been comparable to hers.”

Shen Shuyi’s beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation. She looked at her lover beside her in embarrassment, filled with happiness.

“These people on the list are all cowards. They move when they are told, but the people above them are the ones who are the real golden geese. They can move aside many obstacles to clear the path for our Liang family.”

“It’s just a pity that the name list isn’t complete. Otherwise, it would be easier to take action,” Liang Cunxiao said.

“It’s indeed a pity. However, that would also increase the risk,” Shen Shuyi said.

“Haha, you two really are young, aren’t you?” Liang Xianghe said proudly.

“What are you saying? You’re my father. Of course we’re younger than you.”

Liang Xianghe pointed at the name list on his phone and said,

“Let me tell you, this is nothing. The information in the government’s hands is more complete than this. It’s just that they don’t want to poke the bear for now. I was surprised just now because this thing had fallen into the hands of outsiders, not because of the people listed on it.”

“National Security is aware of this?”

“Of course.” Liang Xianghe said.

“We have such a large national machine. Do you think it’s something to be trifled with? It’s just that they don’t want to upset the waters and scare the fish. As long as a balance is maintain, they will turn one blind eye to it.”

“But if you put it that way, we’ll just be forced to catch these shrimps.”

“No.” Liang Xianghe said.

“Something similar happened three years ago. Now that three years have passed, it’s time to make some noise again. The alarm bells should start ringing.”

“Dad, how are you going to handle this?”

“Don’t drink the remaining half bottle of wine. Send it to my old squad leader tomorrow. The two of us have to discuss this.”

“Do we really have to alarm that person?” Liang Cunxiao asked in surprise.

“This is such a big matter. We have to be careful.” Liang Xianghe said.

“Others might be a thorn in our side, but if you swap perspectives, we are also a thorn in their flesh. Therefore, no one knows when they will be taken away because no one involved is clean.”

The atmosphere at the table seemed to become gloomy.

“I’m quite curious. How did Little Mi get this? It shouldn’t be within her abilities,” Shen Shuyi said.

“Of course, my precious granddaughter doesn’t have the necessary ability. However, she was lucky to meet a powerful person. She even said that she was going to get promoted in two years.”

“Really? Why didn’t we know about this?” Liang Cunxiao said.

“She just didn’t tell you.” Liang Xianghe said, “You all know about the recent increase in the prices set by the six major pharmaceutical companies, right?”

“I heard a little about it, but it seems to have subsided. It’s just nonsense.”

“This is not nonsense. What happened here is more interesting than you think.” Shen Shuyi smiled and said.

“And it has to do with Little Mi.

“My daughter is involved.”

“The six pharmaceutical companies raised their prices because we couldn’t reach an agreement with Pfizer. They wanted to threaten us in this way, but in the end, their shares fell to the limit down.”

“Limit down? Why?”

“Because Little Mi ordered customs to detain all their goods. Then, she said that there was a problem with the quality of the medicine. Immediately after that, the entire world started discussing this matter. This is the root cause of their share prices tanking.”

“Haha, look, this is my daughter!”

“You’re overthinking it. Other than ordering customs to detain the goods, Little Mi didn’t have anything to do with anything else,” Liang Xianghe said.

“Could there be someone else behind this?”

“More or less. I think it’s the same person who told her that she will be promoted within two years. I heard from Yanyan that his name is Lin Yi.”
