My Beloved-Chapter 504 - THE HIDDEN TRUTH
Han Luo mulled over the issue and inquired, "You keep saying drugs. What kind of drugs?"
"Years ago, we found out that a secret syndicate was creating a new drug. This drug looks like a diamond. That's why it's called Diamond.
"The moment you eat it, your entire body will be in absolute bliss. It will take you to such a paradise that after taking one tablet, you will get addicted.
"It's very expensive. Many people used underhanded means to obtain the drug. Since they can barely decide right from wrong, they killed their own family to gather some money to buy the drug.
"If this drug is taken more than a month, a person loses their senses. The drug is given to the richest people only since it is very expensive. That's why we took it very seriously.
"If rich people are ruined, how do you think the economy of China will be affected? Senior Qing found out that after China, the drug dealers' next target was England, and then, America, Russia, France, India, and Australia.
"Think about it, one by one developed countries will fall. What will happen to the developing countries and third world countries after that?
"After Senior Qing died, we found out that she collected that information after her marriage with President Han. She was our major informant and drug case's leading investigator."
Han Ying Wei was thunderstruck. He was feeling a bottle of emotions.
"Are you saying she got married to be able to gather inside information? She was nothing but a spy?!"
Noah shook his head. Although he had thought of that before but not anymore.
"I didn't say that. If she treated you like a suspect, she wouldn't hide the fact that she married you. She would have notified us that she entered the danger zone.
"However, she didn't. She even took pregnancy leave and only our chief knew about it. If she was on a mission, she would have never become pregnant with Xiao Luo in the first place.
"Anyway, since she married you and collected drug information, you became our prime suspect. Nonetheless, you were in a coma and the drug was spreading more and more.
"Therefore, our suspicion shifted from you to your other family members. I have to admit that I didn't get a single piece of information from Mr. Han Changhong. My hunch is the youngest son, Han Cheng."
Han Luo exclaimed, "You mean our youngest uncle?! But he was a teen when mommy died. If I remember correctly, he went to America to continue study."
Noah pointed out, "He went there later. Also, even if he did go abroad, we don't know for sure if it was him or not.
"He might have pretended to stay abroad but in reality, he might have been in China all along. His proxy must have stayed in America."
Han Luo was confused. "If you are suspecting him, why aren't you going after him?"
Noah replied, "We are. We have men over there keeping an eye on him. But the main culprits are in England. A large amount of money is being spent on creating this drug and it is being made in London.
"Thus, we firmly believe the main criminals behind the scenes are here. You two are here as well. That's the very reason I haven't moved away from this place."
"So, you are saying some rich and powerful people in England are part of this drug," Han Luo concluded. "And, they killed mommy and wanted to kill us."
"Yes, and they even followed you in Paris when you were living there for two years," Noah added. "If it weren't for the Mu Family, you would have died a long time ago."
"I owe them a big-time," Han Luo mentioned. One of her heartstrings was tugged – she realized that she had a weakness toward the Mu Family.
She couldn't forget how many times they saved her life, including Mo Yuan's.
Noah stood up, ready to leave. "Anyway, I think I've lingered here long enough. I've told you what you must know. It will be great if you can help me to gather further information.
"We are holding a party tonight for your recovery. All your friends and family will be there. Make sure you can join even if you don't feel like it."
"My family?" Han Luo frowned. "You mean all of them?"
"All of them."
"Yikes!"
------------
"Tonight, we celebrate Luo'er's full recovery. Days were dull and stressful without her. I hope she will be safe and sound and keep us all happy with her blessed existence. Cheers!"
As Han Changhong toasted to his niece, others raised their cocktail glasses to cheer as well.
"Cheers!"
At Han Luo's house, everyone gathered to celebrate her welcome party. People she liked and didn't like, all came into her house.
The elders went to the dining room leaving the youngsters in the living room so that they would have enough space for fun.
"Luo only knows how to scare us. I almost had a heart attack when I heard that you were going to be married to some mafia," Zheng Mian pressed her free hand in her bosom.
Ling Brown's face was pale. "It was my fault. If I reacted quickly…"
"It was never your fault. Their target was me all along. That Larry was so aggressive toward you. I was mad at him…" Han Luo's voice trailed off. "Even so, I didn't wish for him to die like that."
"You have suffered a lot, Luo. I'm so glad you are safe and sound," Beth voiced her wish from the bottom of her heart.
"Keep saying that. She was gone for such a long time; do you think she is still pure?" Han Weiwei commented. "I bet she played with that mafia when she was in Russia.
"She shamelessly had fun with the other guy and is now being all smitten with big brother Yuan. Poor him to be engaged with some invalid shoes."
Her dirty words got on the girls' nerves.
Zheng Mian crudely commented, "The only problem Luo has is having an invalid shoe as her cousin."
Han Weiwei's face flushed in anger. "What did you say?"
