"Brother won’t help me, so I can only resort to this to help Qi Ming clear his name!" "Don’t make a fool of yourself! Come home with me right now!" Carole Brown looked at her brother and suddenly said, "Brother, you feel so unfamiliar to me now!" Kenneth Brown felt as if struck by lightning, stunned. Unfamiliar? So, not only did he feel he himself had become unfamiliar, but even his dearest sister found him unfamiliar? "Kenneth, Carole..." Sienna Johnson’s voice suddenly interjected. Several reporters immediately aimed their cameras at her. "President Johnson, can you tell us why Qi Ming committed suicide?" a reporter asked. "I’m sorry, please let me through." At this time, Sienna Johnson naturally couldn’t answer any questions. Kenneth Brown moved to her side, shielding her from the encroaching crowd. "Why did you come?" "I came to see Carole." Carole Brown was kneeling there, dressed in sackcloth and mourning attire, a sign proclaiming injustice before her. Her eyes held an expression of utter despair, as if her heart had died. Sienna Johnson’s heart ached. She remembered seeing this girl just four days ago—lively, cheerful, and talkative. In such a short time, everything had changed. "Carole, come back with me." Carole Brown looked at Sienna Johnson and gently shook her head. "I can’t leave! As long as the injustice against Qi Ming isn’t cleared, I won’t leave for a single day." Sienna Johnson squatted beside Carole Brown and said calmly, "Doing this won’t help clear Qi Ming’s name." She knew, but this was the only way she could think of to help. "If you firmly believe the formula wasn’t stolen by Qi Ming, then the internal spy must still be within Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory. What you need to do now is use your connections within Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory. Carefully recall any trace or clue from that time, find evidence from it, and secure proof. That’s the best way to clear Qi Ming of this injustice... not kneeling here and becoming fodder for gossip!" "I want to make this a big deal! If I make it a big deal, Qi Ming won’t have died in vain!" Carole Brown said emotionally. She also knew that doing this would likely have minimal effect. Most of the onlookers were merely curious spectators. Some were even malicious, asking if she was selling herself to pay for a burial and if her brother would buy her to warm his bed at home. They were all just watching a spectacle; no one could understand the despair in her heart at this moment. Everything had been fine, but now... Qi Ming was dead... "Let me help you up." This time Carole Brown didn’t refuse. Seeing this, Kenneth Brown also came over to help his sister up. She had been kneeling for too long, and her legs were completely numb. As she tried to stand, it felt as if countless tiny ants were gnawing at the flesh of her legs. Sienna Johnson and Kenneth Brown together helped Carole Brown into Sienna Johnson’s car. With Carole Brown’s departure, the entrance of the Police Station quieted down again. The young police officer inside, seeing that she had left, couldn’t help but sigh in relief. "She’s finally gone. I was really afraid she would keep kneeling." "It would be useless even if she knelt until her legs broke," the older police officer said. "Qi Ming committed suicide. His death was in vain!" "That Qi Ming, too. What couldn’t he get over that he had to commit suicide?" "Ah, people sometimes live on a breath of pride. That Qi Ming had integrity; he’d rather die than take the blame for someone else. I suspect there’s more to this matter than meets the eye." The young police officer leaned in. "Master, what’s the hidden story?" "Heaven’s secrets must not be divulged!" The older police officer tapped the young officer’s head and continued wiping his gun. Sienna Johnson had the driver take the Brown siblings home. The two siblings now lived together in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. The apartment was small but kept very clean. "What would you like to drink?" Kenneth Brown offered. "I had my fill of coffee at the office today; I’m not thirsty. You should go check on Carole. She’s in a very bad state." At the mention of his sister, Kenneth Brown’s frown deepened. "If she weren’t my sister, I wouldn’t bother with her. She’s been completely infatuated by that Qi Ming, utterly reckless." Sienna Johnson remained silent. "She’s my sister, and an employee of Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory’s Research and Development Department. Does she realize the impact her actions have on the company?" Content originally comes from ⓝovelFire.net Sienna Johnson shook her head. "Kenneth, don’t say any more." Carole Brown changed out of her mourning clothes and sat there, haggard and silent. Sienna Johnson began her inquiry. "Carole, you’re part of the Research and Development Department and have the most contact with the other staff there. Did you notice anything suspicious?" Carole Brown shook her head. The Research and Development Department was like a big family; everyone usually got along very well. Carole Brown racked her brains but couldn’t imagine anyone stealing the formula. "President Johnson, is it possible that it wasn’t someone from the Research and Development Department who stole the formula?" Carole Brown suddenly asked. Kenneth Brown’s heart skipped a beat. He glanced sharply at his sister, a guilty thought flashing through his mind: Has she found out something? "Why do you think so?" "Because my intuition tells me that no one in the Research and Development Department would do something !" Kenneth Brown scoffed. "Intuition? Before the law, you need evidence, right?" "During the initial investigation, the focus was always on an internal spy having appeared within the Research and Development Department. What if it wasn’t someone from the R&D department, but someone from another department?" Kenneth Brown asked, "Which department do you think has the capability to identify the formula and then steal it?" "Doesn’t Brother have that capability?" Kenneth Brown’s expression changed. "Are you suspecting me?" "I’m just using it as an example! Actually, within Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory, anyone who has worked for many years would have some understanding of medicinal herbs. As long as they intended to, identifying which one is the formula for the specialty drug wouldn’t be difficult." Kenneth Brown sneered. "What do you take Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory’s Research and Development Department for? A place just anyone can walk into?" A sudden insight flashed through Carole Brown’s mind, leading to a bold conjecture. Someone who understands medicine and also has high-level clearance to enter the Research and Development Department... Carole Brown’s gaze paused on her brother... Who could it be? Kenneth Brown said, "President Johnson, this incident has a very negative impact on our Eastminster Group. Since Qi Ming has committed suicide, let’s just let the matter rest. We will compensate Qi Ming’s parents with a substantial sum for their support, as a form of recompense." Sienna Johnson frowned at Kenneth Brown, puzzled why the usually composed Kenneth Brown would say such a thing. "Kenneth, have you considered that if Qi Ming was framed, then the real internal spy hasn’t been found? For Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory, this is like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. I cannot allow such a danger to exist within Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory! Therefore, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
