Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 412 You still dare to go to the party

Some of the shards from the broken bowl and plate were quite different from ordinary porcelain; they were blackish-blue, displaying unusual colors. Yun Jixing secretly took a shard and had it tested. The results showed that the porcelain contained toxins.

In other words, all the raw materials used in their production were adulterated with toxins, and a certain carcinogenic chemical was present in excessive amounts. Both the poison and the carcinogenic chemical are non-volatile substances. Although making them into porcelain greatly reduces their toxicity, long-term use of these porcelain items—for example, using those bowls for soup and rice, and those plates for food—can still cause significant harm to the body over time.

To ensure the accuracy of the test results, Yun Jixing also had the tests conducted by several different institutions, and all of them produced the same data. He immediately informed the rest of the Yun family and instructed them to carefully store all the poisonous porcelain in the house, make sure it was never used again, and also to get a full-body checkup.

Fortunately, not many people used those poisonous porcelain items, so no major disaster occurred. However, Yun Sizhi particularly liked a cup she received and frequently used it to drink water, which led to a slight poisoning and symptoms of weakness. Thankfully, it's currently only weakness with no other symptoms; with proper care over time, the toxins should be expelled.

“Your third uncle—no, he’s not even a member of your family anymore. Yun Jianyue is really something! He can even come up with such a wicked trick, hiding poison in a bowl and plate. How could he even think of that?” Jiang Zaizhou exclaimed.

Since Yun Jixing, Jiang Zaizhou, and Xi Yizai were injured, the three of them had a reason not to go to work, and they spent more time together. Today, the three of them got together to play again. Yun Jixing told the other two about his discovery of the poisonous porcelain.

“Yun Jianyue’s intelligence is indeed undeniable; he’s a top medical student, otherwise we wouldn’t be so wary of him,” Yun Jixing replied.

"What happened to his tax evasion case? Has he been arrested?" Xi Yizai asked.

"He was taken away for questioning, but he shouldn't go to jail."

"Not going to jail?" Jiang Zaizhou's eyes widened. "What makes him capable of this?"

“He’s quite generous.” Yun Jixing picked up the juice on the table, took a sip, and continued, “I saw that he sold off a lot of his assets recently, worth at least seven billion, which should all have been handed over.”

This time it was Xi Yizai's turn to be shocked, "Seven billion? Seven billion?"

Yun Jixing nodded. "Yes, you heard right, seven billion, the seven billion with nine zeros at the end."

"No wonder your family couldn't do anything about him for a while. Yun Jianyue's heart is not like that of an ordinary person. He was so greedy back then, but now he is so willing to let go. He can take it and put it down." Xi Yizai sighed.

"Go away." Jiang Zaizhou scoffed. "He can take things in stride, so why would he go so far as to kill your family? After searching for so long, have you found the reason?"

"Nothing for now. The only lead is his mother. But she came to the Yun family as a refugee and didn't leave behind any notable achievements, so it's almost impossible to find her. It's been too long. I haven't found anything, and there's no news from his other siblings either," Yun Jixing said regretfully.

As he spoke, he glanced to his side, seemingly looking at someone, but there was no one there, so he quickly looked away. "For now, I plan to stop the investigation for the time being and focus on resting and recovering. How have you two been lately? Have you gone out?"

"I'm practically a cripple now, how dare I go out?" Xi Yizai shrugged. "At most, I'll attend someone's birthday party or something, but I find that so boring. All I do is listen to people chatter, and I have to decipher the meaning behind every word they say. I feel like a diligent eunuch serving the emperor."

“I’ve heard about a really fun party recently, I wonder if you guys…” Jiang Zaizhou hadn’t finished speaking when he received death stares from Yun Jixing and Xi Yizai, and his voice gradually weakened, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

"Little boat, you're not fully recovered yet, and you dare to attend a party? Aren't you afraid your personal assistant and agent will sell you out?" Xi Yizai looked at Jiang Zaizhou with sharp eyes.

"I..." Jiang Zaizhou lowered his head, "My manager and personal assistant are dead, aren't they?" He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to mention it again, so he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, by the way, Little Star, where... where did my manager and personal assistant go? What happened to them?"

Yun Jixing chuckled and replied, "The grass on their graves is already three feet tall, and you're only now remembering them."

"Ah... well, because their family didn't contact me, I just forgot about them while I was lying in bed," Jiang Zaizhou explained, blushing.

Yun Jixing didn't reply. He took out his phone from his pocket, tapped on it, and then handed it to Jiang Zaizhou. "Take a look."

Jiang Zaizhou took the phone and saw that Yun Jixing wanted him to watch a video. After watching it for a while, he screamed.

"Ah! They killed each other! I was so scared! My head is about to explode!"

He made a "yue" sound and handed the phone back to Yunjixing.

Yun Jixing smiled and took the document. "They're dead, don't worry. Aru was very thorough. Before she planned to kill them, she made them write resignation letters and submit them to your company's HR department. Then she had them lie to their families, saying they had been kidnapped in Myanmar and were being held for a ransom of 800,000. Their parents didn't cause trouble at the company because Aru told them that their son was greedy and had kidnapped the boss along with them. She even showed them photos of you being injured. They believed her and were afraid of retaliation from your family, so they didn't dare to cause trouble. They secretly borrowed money from loan sharks and have been hiding from them ever since, so they haven't had time to look for you."

Jiang Zaizhou laughed, "Xiaoru's move was brilliant. Luckily, Xiaoru was there, otherwise I would have been finished. So I am very grateful to Xiaoru and want to do something for her. The reason I want to go to that party is actually... actually, I also want to teach some people who bullied Xiaoru a lesson."

It turns out that Jiang Zaizhou recently attended a friend's birthday party, and most of the attendees were men. With so many men, the conversation inevitably turned to women after discussing careers. One person mentioned Yu Ru, saying she was a gold digger who had climbed the social ladder by marrying the young master of the Yun family, and that she was incredibly shrewd. Yu Ru was quite famous; almost everyone with a bit of status knew her. Therefore, this group of people pooled their resources to spread rumors about Yu Ru.

He couldn't stand it, so he clarified the situation and argued with the person who started the rumor. That's how the feud started.
