After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 455, Episode 500: The Light in the Darkness (Part 1)

Yuan Hengyuan and his wife met at school. After dating for a year, they got married with the witness of their families.

Less than a month after their marriage, Yuan Hengyuan passed away due to an alcohol allergy.

This is the official statement; well, to be precise, this is what everyone except a few insiders believes.

The truth is, Yuan Hengyuan accepted a mission and was 'killed'.

This kind of task is not easy to do. The helplessness involved is something that cannot be explained to outsiders. It may even require the suppression of one's own humanity. Many things that violate principles are known to be wrong, but one must still do them happily.

Yuan Hengyuan, using the alias Mao Li, attracted the attention of Yang Kexin, the sister of Yang Ge, the boss of a certain group, by posing as a wayward student. After much effort and entanglement, he became Yang Ge's brother-in-law and later Yang Ge's right-hand man.

A few words are certainly not enough to describe the hardships involved, and outsiders would never understand what happened.

Two years ago, Yang Ge and his gang were arrested, and Yuan Hengyuan's mission was almost perfectly completed.

Because he could no longer return home under his original identity due to the issue of preventing retaliation, he had to change his identity and even make minor adjustments to his facial features, essentially giving himself a makeover.

He got promoted, received an award, and his future looks bright.

But no one expected that a huge blunder would occur here.

Lin Yuexi: "That Yang Kexin?"

Seeing that the baby was already fast asleep, Zhang Hongying carefully put the baby into the crib to sleep, and then came back to continue.

Afraid of disturbing the baby's rest, she instinctively lowered her voice even further.

"It's her."

"Yang Kexin always presents herself as a well-behaved and innocent person. She plays the violin, and she's quite good and famous. People were already paying her to perform when she was in school."

"She also acted as if she had no idea what her brother was doing. I don't know if she was lying to her brother or if her brother was protecting her. Anyway, her brother always said that she was unaware of it."

"Normally speaking, even if this were all true, Yuan Hengyuan shouldn't have had any further contact with her after the mission. Although it's inevitable to develop feelings after spending so much time together, this is a matter of principle. Besides, in a family like ours, the most taboo thing is acting on emotions; one wrong move can have far-reaching consequences. Yang Kexin's identity..."

Lin Yuexi's relaxed expression also disappeared: "This shouldn't be a matter of acting on emotion, but rather a problem with his mindset, or... he might have other ideas."

She remembered Yang Ge's matter; the big operation was led by Huo Han and his team, and Huo Han had mentioned it to her afterward.

That's a group that embodies all four evils!

The profits during that period were astronomical.

How could the younger sister of the head of such a large corporation be truly innocent?

If you believe she's truly naive, then she's either crazy or has read too many novels and lost her mind.

As someone who was carefully selected, if Yuan Hengyuan, who was supposed to be living with his wife, didn't even have the ability to judge people, how could he possibly gain Brother Yang's trust?

Zhang Hongying neither confirmed nor denied this, saying that everyone has their own opinion on certain things.

It's just that sometimes there are too many things to consider, and the matter doesn't affect the overall situation, so people choose to turn a blind eye.

Sometimes, someone has already intervened to investigate.

Take Yuan Hengyuan's matter for example, she actually knows a little about it. "I overheard Yuan Hengyuan talking to Yang Kexin by accident. I was quite far away from them at the time and didn't hear the whole thing, but I heard words like gold and goods. I felt something was wrong, so I went back and told my dad."

Zhang Hongying inadvertently moved closer to Lin Yuexi, her voice growing softer: "Dad told me that among what Brother Yang entrusted to us, there was indeed a batch of gold that we haven't found."

At this point, what she found even more infuriating was: "These things are none of our business, we should just listen to them and let's get to the point. But let me tell you something infuriating."

“Yuan Hengyuan had been married before. His wife was named Liu Qianhua. After graduation, she was assigned to work at the Yuancheng Police Station. When Yuan Hengyuan passed away, she was two months pregnant. When she was nine months pregnant, she was accidentally injured and sacrificed herself while trying to stop a couple from fighting.”

"It was rush hour at the time, and the child was brought to the hospital a little late. The child was severely oxygen-deprived. Although he survived, his intelligence was affected."

"The Yuan family initially treated the child fairly well; at least to outsiders, he seemed alright. He was well-dressed, and the child was chubby. However, their attitude changed drastically after they learned that Yuan Hengyuan had another child outside the marriage."

Lin Yuexi was truly shocked: "That child in the back, could it be Yang Ge's sister's child?"

Zhang Hongying pursed her lips and made a soft "hmm".

They said nothing, yet they said everything.

Lin Yuexi: "...It's not just Yuan Hengyuan who doesn't care about his future; the entire Yuan family is willing to be buried with him!"

Zhang Hongying's face was full of "I don't understand, and I don't respect them at all": "I don't know what the original family was thinking. Let's not talk about the two children's identities. No, we can't leave that out."

“Liu Qianhua is no ordinary person. Just tell me her name and you’ll know who she is: Red Butterfly.”

Lin Yuexi's expression instantly turned serious.

Red Butterfly, an underground worker who sacrificed himself before dawn. Many high-ranking officials knew this nickname, but few knew his/her true identity, or even whether he/she was male or female.

All that is known is that before the Little Notebook infiltrated, Red Butterfly had already infiltrated the Little Notebook, and was one of the top undercover agents, sending back a lot of important information.

Unfortunately, just one day before Little Notebook surrendered, Red Butterfly's identity was exposed. To cover for another comrade whose code name was known but whose identity had not yet been truly revealed, she used herself as bait to lure the informant into the trap he/she set, and perished together with them.

Because Red Butterfly's contact person was on the other side of the country, and no record was left on our side, his/her deeds have remained unknown.

It wasn't until one of our undercover agents was rescued that we found out. She was the same one whom Red Butterfly had saved with her life years ago. Before Red Butterfly died, she gave her a notebook with a 'combination lock'.

After more than a dozen experts worked together to decipher it, everyone realized the greatness of the red butterfly.

Red Butterfly is not a person; it is merely a code name. It carries out only one mission—decapitation!
Collecting information was just a side effect.

When one red butterfly is sacrificed, another red butterfly will take its place.

Liu Qianhua's father, Liu Hansheng, was the last red butterfly.

His last mission was to stop Inoue Haruko from leaving the shogunate's lair at all costs.

Haruko Inoue is not a well-known name, and many high-ranking officials have never even heard of her, but her harm is no less than that scoundrel Ishii.

She has been mentally unstable since childhood, obsessed with researching so-called super warriors. She is also very intelligent, quick to grasp concepts, and at around ten years old, she can independently perform a not-so-simple surgery.

Oh, I forgot to mention, that surgery involved stitching together two completely different species of animals.

In our country, her parents would have physically punished her for this behavior, but in Xiaobenzi's eyes, she was an extraordinary genius who deserved the full support of the entire clan to nurture.

With the full support of her clan, Haruko Inoue successfully completed the experiment of splicing humans and animals at the age of twenty-one. Although the subject of the experiment did not survive, he lived a painful life for nearly three months.
