Once Xia Wennan returned to the lab, he sat there for a while, unable to calm his mind, before getting up and heading back to his office. Lin Shuqiu called Xia Wennan to inform him that some of Ming Sichen’s preliminary examination results were out, and that in comparison to his previous results, he didn’t find any significant lesions in his brain deteriorating. Further tests were required to determine why his mental state had declined to this point. After thanking Lin Shuqiu, Xia Wennan hung up the phone. Ming Sichen’s car accident and his own car accident were seemingly unrelated, but they also appear to be connected in some way. At the moment, it looked like Ming Siyan had the most involvement in Ming Sichen’s car accident—but why would Ming Siyan want to kill Ming Sichen? If the person who spiked Xia Wennan’s drink was also Ming Siyan, then what was his reason for wanting Xia Wennan dead? Ming Siyan once said that he and Xia Wennan were best friends. Xia Wennan hadn’t taken his claim seriously, but Ming Siyan was probably not lying because his other lab colleagues had mentioned how close he and Ming Siyan were. Ming Sichen was merely a beta, while Ming Siyan was an omega. However one looked at it, Ming Siyan’s life should be much better than Ming Sichen’s, so there was no reason for him to harbour a grudge against Ming Sichen.
Was it due to Lu Huaiye? But Lu Huaiye was Ming Siyan’s fiance, and even if they had broken up and called off their engagement now, it was all because of Ming Siyan’s inability to hold on to the man. What role could Ming Sichen, who was unconscious and bedridden, play? Xia Wennan thought about it for a long time. He later wanted to talk to Lu Huaiye, but when he flipped through his contacts, he discovered that he’d never had Lu Huaiye’s phone number. He thus texted Ming Luchuan and asked him if he could send him Lu Huaiye’s contact information. Xia Wennan thought about it for a long time.
There was no reply from Ming Luchuan; he was probably in the thick of work. Xia Wennan put away his phone, intending to visit Ming Luchuan’s office upstairs to see what he was preoccupied with, but right as he got to his feet, his phone suddenly rang, and an unknown number flashed across the screen. Xia Wennan accepted the call. “Hello?”
