She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Vincent didn't make a fuss. He simply put the bloodstained cloth into a sealed bag, hid it quietly on his body, pushed open the door, and came out to say something to his colleagues.

"It seems we haven't found anything else today. Let's head back."

The group exchanged glances, nodded, and left the factory in twos and threes.

After everyone had returned to their lodgings and gone to sleep, Vincent quietly got up and drove to the hotel where Lin Qingran was staying.

Lin Qingran couldn't sleep due to insomnia, and Xiao Zhou was waiting for news but hadn't woken up either.

The two were sitting on the sofa, each lost in thought, when they heard a knock at the door.

Xiao Zhou went to open the door and saw Vincent standing in the doorway.

"Why are you here? Didn't they say nothing was found at the factory?"

“I felt it was best not to make this public, so I came quietly,” Vincent said.

He walked up to Lin Qingran and took the sealed bag out of his pocket.

“I found this in the factory’s storage room. Based on my experience, the bloodstains on it were probably left about two weeks ago.”

About two weeks ago, around the time Fu Xiuheng had just broken ties with Shenghai Group and attacked Su Mian.

Lin Qingran sneered. Indeed, the attack on the factory was not a spur-of-the-moment decision by Shen Pei'an, but rather a pre-planned attack.

“If we take this to the police station, they should be able to find out who left the bloodstains very quickly, but I’m worried…” Vincent hesitated.

Lin Qingran looked at him and said, "If the police want to investigate, they'll have to compare the bloodstains with all the factory workers. Are you worried about alerting them?"

Vincent nodded solemnly.

Lin Qingran shared the same thought as Vincent: this matter should not be publicized in a big way.

"Xiao Zhou, go and arrange for all factory workers to get physical checkups in the next few days. Tell them it's a company benefit. Vincent, go and send this sample to the research institute for safekeeping."

“Okay, Mr. Jiang.” Vincent nodded.

Xiao Zhou started making hospital arrangements, but at that moment, his phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and her heart jumped.

She quickly answered the phone and asked the question directly.

Where did Li Xian go?

A deep male voice came from the other end of the line, “We followed Li Xian all the way to Qinghebao. He went into a two-story house built by a villager and it seemed he was gambling.”

gamble?

Xiao Zhou's eyes widened immediately, and he finally understood something.

"Keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't escape, and don't alert him. Then investigate thoroughly who he gambles with, whether he has any gambling debts, and also discreetly check his family's financial situation."

"understood."

Xiao Zhou put down his phone and turned to look at Lin Qingran.

"Mr. Jiang, the fish may have taken the bait."

The next morning, Lin Qingran was awakened by a shrill cell phone ringtone.

Yesterday, the people Xiao Zhou sent out rushed to Xijian Village overnight and secretly investigated the home of migrant worker Li Xian.

All the villagers in Xijian Village now live in self-built houses, which are also government poverty alleviation projects. Most of the funds for building these houses were allocated by Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran built a factory in Nancheng, which not only provided job opportunities for the surrounding poor households, but also improved their living environment.

Xijian Village is no longer what it used to be. If some artificial landscapes are added and the scale is expanded, it can become a tourist resort.

This is also Lin Qingran's next plan. If so many changes hadn't happened along the way, the tourist resort should already be under construction.

The living environment of the villagers has improved significantly, but Li Xian's home is different.

Although they all look exactly the same as self-built houses, after looking around, I found that their yards were full of clutter and they didn't seem to have added any household appliances.

It could be said that they simply changed their living environment, but their actual standard of living did not improve.

In other words, Li Xian probably didn't spend all the money he earned at work on his home.

Li Xian gambled alone in Qinghebao all night. When he came out, there were several factory workers besides him, and they were all from Xijian Village.

The sentries immediately sensed something was wrong. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no bystanders on their way back, they detained all the gamblers.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they sent the people to an abandoned factory in the southern suburbs that Lin Qingran had bought but had not yet begun construction or renovation.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Qingran immediately rushed over.

When Lin Qingran arrived at the abandoned factory, she saw the detained workers huddled together, their faces filled with panic.

Her gaze swept coldly over the crowd, and she already had some guesses in her mind.

Xiao Zhou whispered from the side, "President Jiang, I've checked. They often gamble together and seem to have accumulated a lot of gambling debts."

Lin Qingran gave a cold laugh.

No wonder, no wonder they've been guessing who the mole is for so many days, but haven't been able to find the real mastermind.

It turns out they were using their ordinary identities as a cover, and because it was a group crime, no matter how hard they investigated, they couldn't be traced back to them.

Lin Qingran slowly sat down on a chair to the side, looking down at the few trembling workers.

When did you start gambling?

Li Xian remained silent to one side, but the one next to him spoke up.

“Mr. Jiang, I know you are our big boss and you came here to help us solve this problem. But this is our private life. Why are you making such a fuss about it, Mr. Jiang? Besides, we are just a few acquaintances playing cards together, not gambling.”

Lin Qingran smiled, "Oh, then it seems I misunderstood. Actually, what you said is right. Without evidence, it's true that we can't say you're gambling. However, I invited you here today because I have something important to ask you. After all, this matter involves the factory and your livelihood, so I hope you can cooperate."

The person who had spoken earlier glared at Lin Qingran through gritted teeth. "President Jiang, you've misspoke. You've never seen anyone invite someone over by kidnapping them on the street. Isn't President Jiang's explanation a bit far-fetched?"

Lin Qingran's gaze swept lightly across each of their faces as she spoke.

"Please don't misunderstand, I sincerely invited you here. My subordinates are a bit clueless, please don't take it to heart, I will make it up to everyone later. In short, please don't cause any conflicts and turn a normal chat into illegal detention."
