With this in mind, Lin Chang said, "Wan'er, make some time this Saturday to attend the Jiang family's recognition banquet with me."
"The Jiang family's recognition banquet?"
Lin Qingwan was taken aback.
The tipsiness in her system dissipated significantly as she sat up straight.
"Dad, who is the Jiang family holding this recognition banquet for?" Lin Qingwan asked.
Lin Chang replied, "Lin Xuan."
Hearing this name, Lin Qingwan felt a complex mix of emotions.
Little Xuan had disregarded their sibling bond and driven her company into bankruptcy.
Yet, she had owed Little Xuan so, so much in the past.
Now, she didn't even know how to face Little Xuan.
"The Jiang family sent me an invitation. You will come with me and Li'er to attend it. While you're at the banquet, take the opportunity to properly network with the figures from high society."
"Wan'er. You have a good figure and looks. See if you can snag a young and talented gentleman."
"Okay."
Lin Qingwan nodded.
However, she wasn't going for any young talents; she didn't want to get married right now.
She simply wanted to see Little Xuan.
Speaking of which, it had been a very, very long time since she last saw Little Xuan.
"I will definitely be there on time."
Upstairs.
Jiang Shuqin heard that Lin Li and Lin Qingwan had both agreed to follow Lin Chang to the recognition banquet.
Her expression was extremely ugly.
She walked into her bedroom.
With a loud bang, she slammed the door shut.
"Go, go, all of you go."
"Go and humiliate yourselves."
None of them wanted to listen to her, right?
She wouldn't play along!
Suddenly, Jiang Shuqin received a phone call.
"Ms. Jiang," a male voice came through the phone.
"Who is this?" Jiang Shuqin frowned.
"Ms. Jiang, I am the private investigator you hired. Didn't you ask me to help investigate the matter of your miscarriage?" the private investigator said.
"Are there any clues?" Jiang Shuqin's face filled with excitement.
Over two years ago, she was pregnant with a boy, but she was beaten until she miscarried.
This had always been a thorn in her heart.
If it weren't for the miscarriage of that male fetus, the Lin family would have had an heir.
Lin Chang probably wouldn't have cheated on her so unscrupulously.
She would still be living a loving married life with Lin Chang, instead of being like they were now, thoroughly disgusted with each other.
Moreover!
That was her own flesh and blood.
She had watched him grow step by step from a tiny embryo into a little baby.
She had always been looking forward to his birth.
She was already seven or eight months along at that time.
It wouldn't have been long before he was born.
In the end, she was beaten into a miscarriage by that group of people.
The police couldn't find out who did it, so she would investigate it herself!
She specifically hired a private investigator to look into it!
"That's right, we have a lead. I believe it won't take more than a few months to find out the truth," the private investigator said.
"Good, good, good."
Jiang Shuqin was beyond excited.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"If you find out, I will definitely give you a generous reward as agreed," Jiang Shuqin said.
"Mhm."
The private investigator nodded. "Ms. Jiang, if there is any progress on this matter, I will contact you immediately."
"Okay."
Jiang Shuqin nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shuqin touched her belly.
"Baby, rest assured, Mommy will definitely, definitely avenge you."
What Jiang Shuqin didn't know was...
After the private investigator ended the call with her, he immediately called Lin Xuan.
"Mr. Lin, I have relayed the message to Jiang Shuqin exactly as you instructed."
The compensation Jiang Shuqin offered was substantial.
At first, this private investigator had indeed been helping Jiang Shuqin investigate her miscarriage.
But a month passed without any progress.
So he gave up.
Then, today, Lin Xuan contacted him.
He told him that he knew who did it, and even showed him a short video clip.
Lin Xuan told him that he could help him earn this sum of money from Jiang Shuqin.
However, he had to do exactly as he was told.
The conditions Lin Xuan proposed were highly profitable with zero risk for the private investigator, so naturally, he agreed without hesitation.
"Mhm, well done," Lin Xuan nodded.
"Mr. Lin, when should we let Jiang Shuqin know the truth?" the private investigator asked.
Lin Xuan curled his lips and replied, "Don't worry, it won't take much longer."
Once Lin Li completely squeezed all the property out of the Lin family...
That would be the time to let Jiang Shuqin know the truth.
The Lin family had been quite good to Lin Li; even now, every single one of them still doted on him as if he were a precious treasure.
Unfortunately, this Lin Li was an ungrateful wretch.
He would definitely squeeze the Lin family dry until nothing was left.
"Alright, Mr. Lin, I will await your orders," the private investigator said.
Lin Xuan hung up the phone.
He headed to Shangqing University. This time, he didn't go to the lithography machine and chip project lab, but instead went to the medical research lab.
"Great, it's a success!" The members of the research lab were clapping excitedly, one by one.
Lin Xuan walked over.
A team leader of the project couldn't help but step forward.
"We succeeded."
His face was flushed with excitement. "Student Lin Xuan, we succeeded! We successfully developed a drug to treat stomach cancer! Moreover, the cost is low, and the effects are remarkable!"
And it only took a few short months, developed by this group of graduate, doctoral, and even undergraduate students still in school.
This was an immense honor for them.
With this achievement, upon graduation, they would definitely become highly sought after by major medical companies!
Even though this stomach cancer drug was mainly developed under Lin Xuan's guidance.
"Mhm," Lin Xuan nodded. "Not bad."
He seemed to have expected this result all along.
"Student Lin Xuan, when are we going to release this drug?" the team leader asked expectantly.
Lin Xuan said, "When the time comes, I will contact the people in charge of medical insurance and have this drug included in the coverage."
It would earn some good reputation for Shangqing University.
Also, it would catch Lin Li's company off guard along the way.
"Include it in the medical insurance system right now?" the team leader frowned in confusion.
Being included in medical insurance meant a price drop.
Usually, after such specific drugs were developed, they were used for a very long period before being chosen for medical insurance inclusion.
