In this ward, almost no one paid any attention to him.

Shen Ji did nothing but eat and sleep for several days in a row, and no one paid any attention to him.

During this time, the nurse who had previously drawn his blood came back a few more times and drew several more vials of blood from him. Then, she routinely injected him with muscle relaxants every day.

"Miss~" Shen Ji looked at the person in front of her and said with a wronged expression, "You guys inject me with this stuff every day, what if my muscles become so loose that I can't stand up anymore?"

"Can't you give me a more dignified way?"

The young woman was taken aback. "What kind of dignified way do you want?"

Shen Ji blinked. "If you're afraid I'll run away, just tie me to the bed. If you keep hitting me with this thing, I'll become paralyzed."

The nurse paused, then looked at him with some sympathy. "This is what the higher-ups say. I'm sorry."

"above?"

Shen Ji asked softly, "Is it KING?"

The young woman didn't say anything, but instead injected the liquid into him with a blank expression before carrying the tray out the door.

Shen Ji sighed again.

[Ugh, I'm so bored! Find me a movie to watch, something about slapping the jerk in the face! I need to vent!]

【…】

Sijiu actually found him a very cringeworthy anime and projected it onto a large screen in the system space for him to watch.

As he watched, Shen Ji grew impatient again. He was naturally a quiet person, and he urged Si Jiu: "[Okay, go find out for me where that old bastard KING is!]"

Why did he bring me here?

Why are you taking my blood?

Si Jiu rolled her eyes at him: [You think I didn't check on you while you were lying in bed these past few days?]

Shen Ji was taken aback and asked, "So what did you find out?"

Sijiu pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "It's hard to say."

Hard to say?

"I didn't see KING," Shijiu said quietly. "But I saw where they took your blood and what they did."

[Hmm?] Shen Ji immediately perked up: [What did they go about?]

Si Jiu leaned close to him and said in a low voice, "They sent your blood to a paternity testing center."

[Huh?] Shen Ji was stunned: [A paternity test? What does that mean? They're testing my relationship with Lao Deng?]

【Does this even need a DNA test? My face, my figure, my demeanor—there's no way we're not related. What's the point of a DNA test?】

Sijiu shrugged: "That's just how it is. As for why they did it, how would I know?"

Shen Ji narrowed his eyes: [Anything else? You didn't find this much, did you?]

"Oh." Sijiu picked up the freshly brewed tea, took a sip, and then crossed her legs, saying, "No, that's not it. Of course, there are others."

What?

I saw someone...familiar in this place.

Shen Ji was taken aback and asked, "[A familiar person? Who?]"

[Qu Lin.]

Shen Ji thought for a while before he remembered who this Qu Lin was. He was the third son of the Qu family in Shencheng, or maybe he was Qu Chan's father.

Why is he here?

Surely this old guy isn't KING?

"What is he doing here?" Shen Ji asked in surprise.

Shijiu leisurely swung her legs: [He came in a hurry, just grabbed something, handed it to the person in charge, and left.]

I don't know what that thing is. It's inside a top-secret security system with very strong signal jamming; I don't have the necessary permissions to detect it.

Shen Ji felt completely bewildered: "Is there anything else?"

"The rest..." Shijiu thought for a moment, then suddenly slammed her teacup down on the small table, clapped her hands together, and said, "By the way, do you know what I found in the archives?"

Seeing his expression, Shen Ji figured he must have discovered something extraordinary, and he politely agreed, "What?"

Si Jiu said mysteriously, "I found Shang Mo's name in the files!"

[It's not just him, but also... your mother Su Qian's name.]

This time, Shen Ji was not only stunned, his entire brain froze for a moment.

His pupils contracted slightly, and it took him a while to realize who Si Jiu was talking about. He stared blankly for a long time before asking incredulously, "Who???"

"You heard me right," Si Jiu said softly. "It's your mother, Su Qian."

Shen Ji sat up abruptly from the bed, but after rising less than ten centimeters, he fell back down heavily.

This damn muscle relaxant, he's like a limp, vegetable lying in bed now.

He's in a vegetative state, but he can still see, breathe, and barely... speak.

Fortunately, his tongue hadn't stiffened yet.

"My mom?!" Shen Ji's eyes widened, still unable to believe it: "How is this possible?!"

Sijiu shrugged: "How about I go and make a copy of the file and bring it to you, then you can take a look?"

"Okay!" Shen Ji quickly replied, "Make a copy of all the files for me, not just the files, but all the useful and useless information you can see."

Okay.

Sijiu went to work for her son without complaint.

Shen Ji was now in a state of shock. His mother's and Shang Mo's files were both in this archive.

If this place really is KING's territory, then that means his mother and Shang Mo had already infiltrated KING's inner circle many years ago?

Why didn't his mother just tell them who KING was?

Why resort to such a drastic method and set up such a grand scheme?

Or perhaps... given the circumstances at the time, it was simply impossible to expose the person behind it all, which is why his mother, Lu Nian, and Shang Mo had no choice but to set up that scheme?

Shen Ji's mind was in turmoil. He felt that the truth was getting closer and closer to him, but he just couldn't put all the clues together.

No, no, no.

Calm down!

Stay calm and composed!

The senior brother said that any judgment is the perfect result of rational thinking. If you can't stay calm, you will definitely not get a perfect result.

Shen Ji analyzed it in his mind.

This KING, let's call it KING2, is a group formed by KING1, who is his second uncle, and a few other teenagers.

It was formed 21 years ago.

21 years ago, his mother and Lu Nian were high school students, and Shang Mo was even younger.

During her senior year of high school, his mother was drawn into the investigation of the "Zouma" game and "Liejiao" because of Cao Jingyang's affair.

Because they needed to investigate Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory, his mother returned to the Su family home.

During this period, they should have obtained a lot of evidence against Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory, including a lot of evidence about people related to "Zouma".

Or... his mother may have a lot of evidence of crimes committed by members of wealthy families.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to easily produce evidence of Bian Xiong's crimes eighteen years ago, nor would she have been able to produce criminal records of various personnel within the Shen Group.

On the surface, his mother seems to only have connections with Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory, since all her goals are focused on Tianqing Pharmaceutical Factory.

Can……

Shen Ji's pupils suddenly contracted. He suddenly remembered what his father and Lu Nian had described about what happened at the Yunlang Hotel eighteen years ago.

At that time, his mother's target was not Shen Jiyuan, but Wu Zheng, the CEO of Huaien Group.
