Chapter 357: That Thing Is the Formula
Xia Wenxue couldn't understand why Song Ziwen would know the names of her parents; clearly, this was evidence that he knew news about them.
"Wenxue, actually, when you went to the United States to find your parents, they knew about you."
"Then why didn't they see me." Xia Wenxue's emotions were slightly agitated.
"Because they couldn't get away," Song Ziwen sighed softly, "Wenxue, you need to understand your parents. I can't tell you too much; I can only say that as medical doctors for a certain company, the projects they were developing were extremely important, and they had signed confidentiality agreements, so they couldn't leave."
Confidentiality agreement?
"So a confidentiality agreement lasts for over ten years?" Xia Wenxue seemed to scoff, with a hint of self-mockery on her beautiful face.
This kind of emotion was rare for Xia Wenxue.
Since her parents left when she was a child, they never returned, except for three years ago when Xia Qingshan suddenly came back in a hurry, that was the only time.
Are their hearts really that hard? They wouldn't even want to see me?
Xia Wenxue felt a bit heartbroken.
"Wenxue, it's not what you think. Your parents are outstanding," Song Ziwen maintained a faint smile, "Your father is a Western medicine doctor, and your mother is proficient in Chinese medicine. Both are highly regarded in their respective fields, and the project they were developing was too important, so it's understandable."
"At that time, your parents wanted to come out to see you after knowing you came to the United States, but due to company reasons, it was difficult for them to come personally, so they could only let me meet you."
Listening to Song Ziwen's words, Xia Wenxue fell silent for a moment.
"When we met, it was not a coincidence. That time, I deliberately bumped into you," Song Ziwen said sincerely.
"Afterwards, you came to know the situation, then I naturally stayed by your side and reported your situation to your parents, so they could know your whereabouts at any time," Song Ziwen said.
"Then during that time, I fell in love with you." Xia Wenxue said faintly.
"I understand, you came to the United States alone, naturally feeling isolated and dependent on me," Song Ziwen said sincerely. "Wenxue, I discovered that I fell in love with you too, and from the beginning until now, I have never changed."
Xia Wenxue shook her head, "What's the use of saying this? If I hadn't caught you with another woman, I would have been kept in the dark. Forget about this— which company are my parents in?"
"Wenxue, I can't tell you that. According to employee ethics, revealing this would be a violation, even though I'm no longer with the company now, I can't do this," Song Ziwen replied.
"Then can you tell me how my parents are doing?" Xia Wenxue pressed on.
Song Ziwen hesitated, "This..."
"What's up with my parents?" Xia Wenxue suddenly stood up.
"The situation with your parents may not be very good," Song Ziwen said with a troubled expression.
"Why not good?" Xia Wenxue's face showed urgency, "Quickly tell me."
"It's like this," Song Ziwen began, "possibly due to the project, your parents are facing some punishment from the company, but I don't know exactly what the punishment is."
"How can you not know? Weren't you very familiar with my parents?"
"Wenxue, don't get agitated." Song Ziwen gestured for Xia Wenxue to calm down, "I had already left the company at that time, so I don't know the specific situation."
At this moment, Xia Wenxue felt even more chaotic inside. Song Ziwen's words caused a tumult of emotions within her, and the worry about her parents kept her heart in suspense.
Song Ziwen took a sip of coffee and looked at Xia Wenxue, who remained silent. A slight smile appeared in his heart; now everything about Xia Wenxue was under his control.
When the time comes, using her as a breakthrough point will obviously complete the organization's mission.
"Wenxue, actually, I do have some vague ideas," Song Ziwen continued cautiously formulating his words.
"What specifically?" Xia Wenxue asked.
"Your parents seem to have been punished because of something," Song Ziwen said.
Xia Wenxue's brows furrowed slightly, something?
"That item is a formula for medicine," Song Ziwen said softly.
Formula?
At that moment, she suddenly remembered the conversation she eavesdropped on between her father and grandfather at the door.
"Make sure this formula doesn't fall into anyone else's hands."
Thinking of this, Xia Wenxue's body suddenly trembled.
All of this fell into Song Ziwen's eyes.
He smiled slightly, "Of course, Wenxue, I'm not too certain, but if the formula isn't retrieved, I'm afraid the company will be hard on your parents."
Xia Wenxue fell silent, then looked up and bit her lip: "How can I save my parents?"
"Well, Wenxue, I'll reveal to you that the formula must be returned to the company to potentially save your parents," Song Ziwen said seriously.
Xia Wenxue hesitated on her face, but Song Ziwen spoke again: "Wenxue, I'm going back in a few days. If you have any questions, be sure to ask me during this time, or you might miss the opportunity."
"Can you tell me the address of that company?" Xia Wenxue asked.
Song Ziwen shook his head, "I can't, but I can take you there, so it won't be considered a violation."
Xia Wenxue opened her mouth, and Song Ziwen's face lit up with joy, but Xia Wenxue hesitated once more, "Then I'll think about it for a few days."
Why hesitate again?
Song Ziwen's gaze turned cold. He stood up and said, "Wenxue, if you hesitate again, your parents might not survive."
He wanted to reach out and touch Xia Wenxue, "Wenxue, you need to think clearly."
But just when a cold voice appeared, "What's there to consider?"
Song Ziwen's body froze; before he could turn around, he felt an overwhelming force grab him, lift him off the ground, and then harshly smash him onto the nearby glass table.
Smack!
A crisp sound resonated, and the eyes of all the customers in the café turned to them, their faces appearing stunned by the scene.
Ren Feng said flatly, "I told you, don't come near Xue'xue again."
Song Ziwen coughed as he climbed up from the ground, with his once handsome face now marred by glass cuts.
"Ren Feng, you're being excessive." Song Ziwen's face turned cold.
"Excessive?" Ren Feng laughed, "Don't try to deceive Xue'xue with your flowery words."
Song Ziwen's gaze turned slightly cold, "Do you believe that you'll die a miserable death?"
