It wasn't until the evening, when the test results came out, that the director of the laboratory personally came to find him.
The two had been colleagues for many years. Seeing him come in person, Jin Lan smiled and asked why he had the time to come up, knowing that the laboratory was usually very busy.
"Old Jin, who is this meal for?" the director asked him directly.
"My sister, what's wrong?" Jin Lan frowned and looked at the man with a serious expression.
"There is a problem. The meal has been laced with a drug. It's in very small quantities, and might not be detected if not for a thorough examination. However, taking this drug for a long time can cause problems, especially mentally. It can lead to irritability, rage, paranoia, and eventually madness," the director explained.
Jin Lan stared at his old friend in shock, unable to speak for a moment. Chu Weixian, that wolf cub, he had been too careless, thinking he could truly turn over a new leaf. He had almost killed his own elder sister.
Jin Lan felt like he could skin Chu Weixian alive right now.
"You know best. The previous lab technician didn't detect it. I found it strange, so I re-tested everything. This person is also very cunning; he didn't put the drug in the food itself but on the container. With such deliberate planning, you must be very careful."
"Alright, thank you. I understand."
The director of the laboratory left. Jin Lan sat in his chair and chuckled in exasperation. Indeed, he had been careless, and he had been foolish. He had attributed his sister's drastic changes to her cancer and her personality shifting, never realizing she was being harmed by a villain!
Did Chu Yu know what Chu Weixian had done? Jin Lan felt it was necessary to conduct another paternity test between Chu Yu and his sister. He now suspected more than ever that Chu Yu was not his sister's child.
Some things might not make sense at first, but once the key link is connected, everything falls into place. Chu Yu's behavior over the past few years didn't seem like that of a natural son. He seemed to be consistently trying to seize Jin Qing's shares and assets. Jin Qing had given away almost everything she owned over these years.
Meanwhile, Chu Weixian played the role of the perfect husband, while secretly poisoning his wife's food, intending to kill her.
These two wolf cubs dared to lay a hand on their own family. He would make them pay!
Jin Lan returned home with a heavy heart. Jian Yi saw her father's unhappy expression and asked him worriedly what was wrong. Jin Lan stroked her head and told her to go play, without saying much. He then directly shut himself in his study.
Jian Yi told her mother about her father's mood. Jiang Yan asked her to find Fu Chen to play, while she pushed open the study door. Seeing Jin Lan in such a dejected state, her heart clenched.
Over the years, no matter what happened, he had never been like this, especially in front of her. He always appeared full of energy, which made her believe nothing could break him.
But perhaps she had forgotten that he was just an ordinary man.
Over the years, she had taken out all her frustrations from Jin Qing on this man, yet he had never been angry with her. Every time, he patiently comforted her.
"Jian Yi told me you're unhappy. What's wrong? Did something happen? If you want to let your sister out, then do so." Jiang Yan felt that nothing else could have made Jin Lan so dejected.
