Lu Ming pointed to the man in the white coat and asked, "Do you know this person in the photo?"
Shen Ziyin shook her head, "No, I've never seen him before. To be honest, I've been with Fan Xiaoyun for a while and I've never heard her mention this man."
It seemed that Fan Xiaoyun was very careful about protecting the man in the white coat in her daily life.
The more she did that, the more suspicious it became.
"Alright, I understand. You can go back now," Lu Ming said.
"Um..." Shen Ziyin looked at Lu Ming expectantly.
Lu Ming nodded and took out a small bottle from his pocket. "Take the antidote in this bottle. The toxins in your body will be almost cleared. You'll regain your complete freedom after just one more dose."
"Thank you, thank you." Shen Ziyin happily took the bottle and ran out.
After that, Dragon King entered the private room.
Without a word, Lu Ming opened the photo Shen Ziyin had just sent and showed it to Dragon King, instructing, "Find out this man's identity immediately."
"Yes!"
Dragon King knew the seriousness of the matter and dared not be careless. He immediately had his subordinates investigate the man in the white coat.
He thought it would be difficult, but to his surprise, in less than 10 minutes, all the information about the man in the white coat was sent over.
"Warlord, the information is here!"
Dragon King handed the information to Lu Ming. Lu Ming read it and couldn't help but smile.
This man in the white coat was somewhat well-known. It was easy to find information about someone like him.
"Ren Jiang, a PhD in medicine. He was previously sentenced for assaulting his mentor."
This was the publicly available information.
Following this were some less public details, which were also sent over.
The reason Ren Jiang assaulted his mentor was that all his research achievements were stolen by his so-called mentor. In the end, the mentor achieved fame and fortune, while Ren Jiang remained unknown.
In a fit of rage, Ren Jiang committed a wrong deed, choosing to vent his anger with his fists.
Ultimately, Ren Jiang was sent to prison.
After his release, Ren Jiang's situation was even worse. No research institute would hire him, and many private companies would not employ a convict. It was even more impossible for him to continue his research, as no one was willing to invest in him.
Finally, Fan Xiaoyun took him in.
All the records stopped here, and what happened next was unknown.
Why was Fan Xiaoyun so generous, helping a convict with money and effort? From Lu Ming's interactions with Fan Xiaoyun, she was definitely not a kind woman, and it was unlikely that she was helping Ren Jiang out of goodwill.
Fan Xiaoyun must have had something to ask of Ren Jiang!
The question was, Fan Xiaoyun had money and power. What could Ren Jiang, a small figure on the fringes of society, offer that Fan Xiaoyun needed?
Hmm...
After a moment of thought, Lu Ming had an answer: research achievements!
Ren Jiang was a medical doctor, and his research direction was exactly what Fan Xiaoyun needed! Fan Xiaoyun was naturally infertile, and Ren Jiang's research could potentially change Fan Xiaoyun's constitution, allowing her to have children!
Therefore, Fan Xiaoyun was not helping Ren Jiang for no reason, but rather wanted Ren Jiang to conduct in-depth research that could one day help Fan Xiaoyun conceive.
The logic made sense.
The last question: what did Fan Xiaoyun want the children for?
Even the Dragon Warlord couldn't figure this out. The truth was probably only known to Ren Jiang and Fan Xiaoyun.
Dragon King asked, "Warlord, should I mobilize our forces to attack Orange Red Tower? We can use helicopters for a dual assault from land and air, and take down Orange Red Tower in the shortest possible time to rescue the children!"
Lu Ming, however, shook his head. "No."
Although the probability of the children being on the 6th floor of Orange Red Tower was very high, approaching 100%, as long as there was a sliver of uncertainty, Lu Ming could not take the risk.
A single mistake could lead to the children's deaths.
Moreover, a frontal assault would corner Fan Xiaoyun. With her venomous heart, she might do something desperate before being captured.
What if she chose to take the children down with her? How would Lu Ming face that?
Therefore, they could not alert her.
Dragon King said indignantly, "Warlord, you're being too cautious. The children are in Orange Red Tower now, and every second they stay there is an increased danger. Just listen to me and launch a full-scale attack!"
Lu Ming remained stoic and silent.
After a long pause.
Lu Ming slowly said, "We cannot attack head-on. We must infiltrate."
"Ah? Infiltrate?" Dragon King was stunned for a few seconds, then denied, "That won't work. I've investigated Orange Red Tower. If we don't attack head-on, we won't be able to get to the 6th floor!"
Lu Ming said, "We can. There's a private elevator."
Dragon King chuckled, "But only Fan Xiaoyun and Ren Jiang can use the private elevator. You don't expect them to escort us to the 6th floor, do you?"
Lu Ming already had an answer to this question in mind.
He said, "We can capture Ren Jiang first, and then use his identity to 'infiltrate' the 6th floor under everyone's noses and rescue the children."
Uh...
It seemed possible.
And yet, it also seemed impossible.
Dragon King said, "The difficulty of doing this is how to capture Ren Jiang? He's been hiding on the 6th floor. If we could get to the 6th floor, why would we need to capture him?"
Lu Ming smiled. "Then let's make him come down."
Dragon King was puzzled, "How is that possible? He's hiding like a scared turtle now, not daring to come out."
Lu Ming said, "Everyone has something they care about. As long as we hit Ren Jiang's weakness, he'll come to us himself without us having to find him."
Huh?
Dragon King was dumbfounded.
Could this Ren Jiang really come to his own death?
"Warlord, it seems you already have a plan?" Dragon King asked.
Lu Ming nodded and said, "Ren Jiang is obsessed with research and neglects interpersonal matters. He acts straightforwardly, as seen by his assault on his mentor. Therefore, it won't be difficult to trick him out."
He paused and continued, "Think about it. Ren Jiang's lifelong research achievements were stolen by his mentor. Doesn't he feel wronged? And yet, he was sentenced, while his mentor enjoyed fame and fortune. Doesn't he hate that? This injustice and hatred have been buried deep in his heart, but he couldn't express it due to circumstances. But if we provide him with an opportunity to erupt, guess, can he endure it?"
Dragon King seemed to understand but not fully.
He awkwardly scratched his head. "Warlord, please explain it more clearly. I'm a rough person and don't understand these intricate details."
Lu Ming shook his head with a smile. "Alright, I'll make it clearer. It's actually very simple. We'll hold an award ceremony for his mentor right now, thanking him for his great contributions to the country, and specifically praising the research achievements he 'stole' from Ren Jiang!"
Damn it!
Dragon King's eyes lit up. "This is a brilliant move. If Ren Jiang sees his research achievements being taken by his mentor and praised, with the news media hyping up his mentor, he'll be absolutely furious! At that time, he'll definitely come to demand an explanation! He'll come to us himself to court death. Hahahaha, Warlord, your idea is excellent. I'll do it right away!"
