After watching Jiang Deyi, who was so angry that he was twitching, and Bai Mo, whose smile was rigid, leave, Zhou Nan asked, "Zhou Rong's drug came from the Schroder family? Wait, how do you know that it had been sold by Jiang Deyi? And, was Jiang Deyi's injury caused by Xiao Yuanmu?"

Zhou Nan had a lot of questions, but Song Xuanhe didn't hear a single word. His eyes were downcast, and there was a pensive look in his eyes.

Actually, when he had found out that this matter was related to the Hoffman Family, Song Xuanhe had been curious. The Hoffman Family had accumulated its wealth from war. Their company was the most influential manufacturers of weapons in the world. Regardless of whether it was a private company or a country, no one was usually willing to offend the Hoffman Family. A family like them does not lack influence nor wealth. They would never engage in drug trafficking.

That was why he knew that it must have been done by a subordinate family. When he thought of this, there was naturally only one candidate in mind. The only subordinate clan that followed the Hoffman Family that he knew of was the Schroder Family.

Many people knew exactly what kind of drugs the Schroder Family came up with. However, drug trafficking was not prohibited in every country. The Schroder Family would even sell some of their drugs as "medication." In this way, they were able to bring in huge sums of profit. It wasn't just the Schroder Family doing this either. That was why, even though everyone knew about it, it didn't affect the Schroder Family all that much.

But recently, most countries had begun to crack down on drugs. Although the number of people using didn't decrease, and the Schroder Family's business wasn't all that affected, the rapidly increasing legal danger had split the Schroder Family into two divisions. One side wanted to continue their business in the drug industry while the other side wanted to rid themselves of it. The two sides were fighting. As a result, the Schroder Family had not created any new drugs for a long time.

Therefore, after a never-before-seen drug had arrived on the market, Song Xuanhe thought that it had very likely come from the Schroder Family considering their data.

It was just that he hadn't had any idea how Zhou Rong had managed to get connections with the Schroder Family. That was until he had come back to China and Wei Chen had told him about what Bai Mo had said and that Jiang Deyi was injured.

Jiang Deyi's injury was very enigmatic. Moreover, he and Jiang Deyi had had disagreements in the past. If Zhou Rong had known about this and had tried to convince Jiang Deyi to be his means to buy the new drug, Jiang Deyi would have definitely been tempted. Furthermore, Zhou Rong had also gotten the drug from the Schroder Family in the book. This meant that, regardless of what his relationship with Jiang Deyi was like, Jiang Deyi had been tempted to use this method to make money for a long time now.

Jiang Deyi had no choice but to rely on Hayden Schroder if he had wanted to get the drugs. Furthermore, the Schroder Family was subordinate to the Hoffman Family. Everything made sense once all these clues were all linked up.

It was just that, even if he was mostly sure, he still wanted to confirm this with Xiao Shenglin. Unexpectedly, he had been able to get the truth out of Jiang Deyi when they had bumped into him and Bai Mo.

However, contrary to expectations, this knowledge only made it feel like something heavy was pressing down on his chest.

Song Xuanhe recalled every change he had witnessed in Xiao Yuanmu since their first meeting. He also contrasted them with the changes in himself. He thought about how he had felt guarded against Xiao Yuanmu in the beginning. Gradually, that feeling had morphed into a difficult-to-understand trust in the other man. To this day, he still felt like this change inside himself was fantastical.
