Chapter 288: Brother Li Yi, Help!

"This is indeed a difficult matter. Most importantly, we cannot tell them the truth." It was truly hard to explain such unnatural events.

Zhu Yanyi listened to their discussion. She simply sat in the corner and stayed silent. Since she could not control such matters, it was better to say nothing.

The Boss thought for a moment and said, "First, we must investigate the family situations of these nineteen children. If their backgrounds are clear, that is best. If not, we may need to hypnotize them to erase their memories." The Boss did not wish to separate families. However, if national interests conflicted with family ties, as the highest decision-maker, he had to prioritize the country.

Hearing this, Yan Aohan said, "No one else can handle this investigation. I will take it over. I will have my people investigate. However, we have at most three days to prepare. After three days, these children must be moved. We will claim they are being discharged from the hospital. We must create the illusion that they are returning home. Only then can we identify the mastermind behind this."

Old Master Yao thought for a moment and said, "Detoxification is Ani’s task. My only requirement is that Ani must not be exposed to the public."

"Therefore, when Ani performs the detoxification, Old Master Yao must accompany her. Dean Gu will provide cover. Even if investigated, people will only know that Old Master Yao performed the detoxification. Nothing else will be revealed. As for Ani’s records, I will lock them away personally." Yan Aohan looked serious. He then glanced at Zhu Yanyi in the corner. He found her leaning against the wall, eyes closed, already asleep. A slight smile graced her sleeping face, making everyone feel relaxed.

Yan Aohan noticed this, and the other adults did too. They exchanged smiles. Although Zhu Yanyi was powerful, she was still a child. Yan Aohan had someone bring a blanket to cover her. Then, they continued their discussion, naturally lowering their voices.

The Boss remained serious. "Let us proceed with this plan for now. We will claim the children suffered from food poisoning. They will be discharged in three days. We must persuade the parents within these three days. Did all the parents come yesterday when the children were poisoned?"

"Most were notified and arrived. Even those who were very busy had relatives come to care for them," Secretary Shao answered promptly. As the Boss’s confidential secretary, he needed to know all details to provide necessary information.

Zhu Yanyi did not know how the discussion ended. She had fallen asleep. As a child, she had the right to sleep. When she woke up, she found herself in her own room in the courtyard house.

She lay in bed with her eyes open for a while. That sleep was truly comfortable. Zhu Yanyi let out a long breath, stretched her waist, and got up. She noticed she was still wearing the clothes from the previous night. She went to take a bath and changed her clothes. She washed the dirty clothes and hung them out in the yard to dry.

She saw Yan Aohan sitting on a stone stool in the yard. A cup of clear tea sat on the stone table. He was reading a book, looking very relaxed.

After hanging the clothes, Zhu Yanyi walked over. "Did you not go out today?" In her memory, Yan Aohan was always extremely busy.
