After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 383, Episode 0414: The Power of the Cui Family

"What is the Cui family's purpose?"

The old man closed his eyes and asked with a deep, unsettling gaze.

"According to Wang Ben's confession, the Cui family's original plan was that after you and Xixi were infected, given the importance the higher authorities placed on you and Xixi, they would definitely concentrate all their resources to treat you. If the hospital couldn't do anything, they would likely seek international help, and might even compromise with certain countries for Xixi's sake."

As for what the Cui family would do or what role they would play during this period, Wang Ben had no idea; he wasn't that important to the Cui family yet.

The old man gasped, not from the shock of almost dying, but from...
He slammed his hand on the table, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets with rage. "Damn it! They actually want to use my precious grandson as a pawn! Not only do they want to kill my precious grandson, but they also want to frame her!"

It's not just the Cui family's wild imagination. If his beloved grandson really is poisoned, the Cui family's plan has a high chance of succeeding. Because when it comes to protecting his beloved grandson's life and temporarily conceding some benefits to other countries, he can't be sure about others, but he would definitely choose Elder Long or Elder Zhou first.

If it really comes to that, his beloved granddaughter's body will most likely be damaged, or even severely damaged. Even if she survives, her lifespan will be shortened, her physical condition will deteriorate, and more seriously, her brain will be damaged, affecting her intelligence.

Because saving her meant making concessions between nations, the responsibility rests solely on her shoulders. Regardless of what her beloved grandson achieves in the future, many will see her as paying off a debt. If he fails to make any further achievements due to physical damage, the situation will be even worse, and her beloved grandson may be branded a sinner.

Damn it.

The Cui family, huh? Die, you son of a bitch.

Huo Han was also very angry when he first found out, and he still felt suffocated when he recounted the incident. However, compared to the old man, he hid his emotions much deeper, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or not at this moment.

He moved over and patted the old man's back to help him catch his breath, and continued, "The Cui family is cautious. Although they found Wang Ben and he admitted that he was acting on the instructions of the Cui family, we only have witnesses. The virus was not given to him directly by the Cui family, but was found in a tree hole in the back mountain of Beijing Normal University. Wang Ben has never met or spoken to the Cui family."

The only person in the Cui family who had ever met Wang Ben was his biological father, Cui Fusheng. Cui Fusheng had only met Wang Ben once when he was in his hometown, and after that, Cui Fusheng never had any further contact with Wang Ben.

After Wang Ben and Cui Fusheng recognized each other as family, Cui Fusheng told him that the Cui family would not recognize children who were not capable. If Wang Ben wanted to be recognized by the Cui family, he would have to achieve something. He could not change the rules of the Cui family, but as a father, he would definitely help him.

Wang Ben's adoptive father was a very taciturn person, and the Wang family was poor. Perhaps it was a problem in his bones, but Wang Ben disliked his adoptive father and hated his status as a poor kid.

Cui Fusheng's appearance made him realize that he was actually a child of the Cui family, a large family in Beijing. Compared with the poor and miserable Wang family, Wang Ben naturally hoped to be recognized by the Cui family and become their young master.

So after Cui Fusheng's words, Wang Ben decided to make some achievements to prove his abilities to the Cui family, as a pledge of loyalty, so that the Cui family would recognize him.

So he obediently started by studying, and then helped handle the Cui family's black market business in his hometown.

Cui Fusheng's subsequent contact with Wang Ben was through the exchange of goods on the black market. The messenger was different each time, and it is not easy to find him now.

The last letter Wang Ben received from Cui Fusheng before coming to Beijing was a message telling him that their future communication method would be a tree hole in the back hills of Beijing Normal University.

Whenever Cui Fusheng had news to share, he would tie a ribbon to a tree downstairs in the dormitory. Wang Ben would then go to the tree hole on the back hill to retrieve the message.

Beijing Normal University currently only has surveillance cameras installed in some important areas, not in the dormitories, so it hasn't been found out who tied the ribbons to the trees below the dormitories.

This whole thing is stuck with Wang Ben.

It's infuriating. Even though we know it's related to the Cui family, we only have one witness, and we can't do anything about it.

A family that has been prosperous for hundreds of years is not something to be taken lightly; they have their own set of rules for doing things.

The old man was so angry he was panting heavily. "This is outrageous! It's absolutely outrageous! I don't care how much they argue or fight, but how can they do this when it concerns the future of the country?"

He wasn't angry because Lin Yuexi was his granddaughter, but because of Lin Yuexi's importance to the country!
Even in the most peaceful places, there is always some undercurrent of conflict and infighting; this is an unchangeable phenomenon wherever there are people.

But this struggle should not overshadow the greater good of the nation!

They've finally managed to straighten their backs a little, finally dared to speak more assertively on the international stage, finally stopped being ignored at international conferences, and finally found that other countries don't dare to trample on their borders at will.

He dared not say that all of this was thanks to his beloved grandson, but he still had the audacity to say that it was somewhat related.

Internationally, technology determines status.

It is because our technology has truly taken off that those who either ignored us or always wanted to bully us have begun to truly fear us.

Because of their fear, they wanted to get rid of the person who caused them the most fear.

As a qualified Chinese citizen, I don't expect everyone to protect this person, but at the very least, I shouldn't actively harm him. What difference is there between that and betraying the country?
"The Cui family, I will destroy the Cui family sooner or later."

When Lin Yuexi came down, she saw the old man's hair practically on fire.

"What's wrong? Look how angry you've made Grandpa."

The old man never reported good news to Lin Yuexi and kept the bad news to himself. He believed that only when Lin Yuexi deeply understood her true situation could she clearly know how to protect herself.

He told her the investigation results that Huo Han had mentioned in detail, and finally said, "The Cui family is cunning. For decades, we have not been able to find any evidence against them. We know that many things are related to the Cui family, or even that the Cui family is in charge, but the Cui family has managed to hide themselves completely."

This is the main reason why the Cui family has always received special attention.

Speaking of intricate networks of relationships, Beijing is the capital city, and the power transition was relatively peaceful, allowing many long-established families to survive. Aren't their networks as complex as spider webs?

But others, whether they commit crimes or truly retire, leave traces that make people wary. But ultimately, if there are clues, they can always be found out.

The Cui family is different; every time, the target is clearly aimed at them, but there's a disconnect at some point that prevents you from fully connecting with them.

If the Cui family were only after money and power, that would be one thing, but they betrayed the country, which is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.

The old man sighed and said in a low voice, "One of the reasons for those activities in the past few years was to clean up the Cui family's web."

However, the Cui family acted too cautiously, which was also due to some mismanagement and infighting among them. Many people who should not have been affected were implicated, while the Cui family remained standing and is now showing signs of resurgence.
