You Are Deep in The Stars - Chapter 53
In the apartment on the other side, Liu Chunchun was making coffee in the kitchen. He glanced into the living room and asked Wang Yuanchen worriedly, “Will Brother Bai be okay?”
“Who do you think he is, a sad girl or a Korean drama protagonist?” Wang Yuanchen licked the cookie crumbs on his fingers. “Of course, nothing will happen.”
“At least he would be in a bad mood, right?” Liu Chunchun took the bread out of the oven. “Although I don’t know about your Ultraman’s life, it’s obvious that the evil monsters were much stronger at the moment. Because even the legendary Han Zhuo could only be forced to compromise.”
“It had been like this for many years,” Wang Yuanchen said. “Actually, Wu Zigang’s idea was not wrong. We needed the support of the human government. Even if there was only a small force, it could at least make the underground warehouses not so arrogant now.”
“Will Zhou Yong be on our side?” Liu Chunchun asked.
“There was a chance,” Wang Yuanchen nodded. “So, I didn’t object to Han Zhuo exchanging a tube of blood for Zhou Jing. Although it sounded like a failure, it was not a loss-making business.”
“Yeah.” Liu Chunchun took out the jam, hoping to make Bai Xi feel better, so he carefully drew a heart on the newly baked bread.
Wang Yuanchen said, “I didn’t eat strawberry jam.”
“I know. Brother Bai likes it.” Liu Chunchun handed the plate over and said, “Take it to the living room.”
Wang Yuanchen was slightly dissatisfied and said arrogantly, “I suddenly wanted to eat strawberry jam again.”
“Then you can eat,” Liu Chunchun wiped his hands. There were many on a plate, so he could eat whatever he wanted.
Mr. Wang was a little unhappy that his subtle emotions were not taken into consideration by the other party, but for the sake of the guest, he still did not make more trouble. He took the bread into the living room and threw it to Bai Xi, “What are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about Zhou Yong,” Bai Xi said. “He is just a deputy director. According to the information Wu Zigang found, he didn’t have any great background. So, after this incident, would he be dismissed?”
“No.” Wang Yuanchen wiped the jam off his fingers. “Not only had he not been removed, but he would also be promoted soon. I guessed it was to appease him after his daughter got kidnapped.”
Bai Xi said unexpectedly, “How did you know this?”
“This is not a big secret. There is an announcement on the Beidou Research Institute’s website,” Wang Yuanchen said. “Of course, people would only think that it was researching wheat and rice.”
Bai Xi raised his hand to stop, “Wait a minute, my mind is a little confused now.”
“It doesn’t matter. You can comb it carefully. I won’t disturb you.” Wang Yuanchen happily returned to the kitchen and closed the door behind him.
Liu Chunchun was surprised and said, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s your boss,” Wang Yuanchen said innocently. “He said he wanted a quiet space.”
“Oh…” Liu Chunchun comforted him, “Then let’s stay in the kitchen. It’s quite warm here anyway. Do you want some tea?”
Wang Yuanchen said with satisfaction, “Yes.”
Bai Xi tore up a piece of paper and listed them one by one.
Zhou Yong, who had no background, did not go back to his hometown like ordinary retired soldiers after retiring from the army. Instead, he successfully entered the country’s top-secret agency and served as the deputy director of the Institute for Superpowers.
His wife was a superpower, which was originally a serious violation, but he got a promotion instead.
If it was because his superiors valued him very much, then all this could be explained. However, according to the information obtained so far, Feng Qi, the deputy director of the institute and the actual leader in power, was quite fed up with the retired soldier from this army, and even reported several times, requesting that Zhou Yong be transferred elsewhere. But in the end, nothing happened.
So, there should have been someone behind Zhou Yong? And that was at least enough power to intimidate Feng Qi. Thinking of this, Bai Xi’s mind suddenly lit up, and he ran over and opened the kitchen door, “I—”
The sound stopped suddenly because the scene in front of him was slightly shocking. Liu Chunchun had pear soup in his spoon and was cooling it down to feed to the person opposite. Mr. Wang, who had always been cold and indifferent, seemed to be enjoying it very much at that moment. Not only did he open his mouth, but he also closed his eyes.
“Brother Bai.” Seeing him come in, Liu Chunchun quickly came over with a bowl, “Come here, have a taste. I stewed it specially for you.”
Wang Yuanchen leaned lazily on the windowsill, his eyes fierce, in order to pay tribute to the spoonful of soup, who flew away halfway.
“Who is the director of the Beidou Research Institute?” Bai Xi asked straight to the point.
“There is only one name known to the outside world, but I guessed even the name was fake,” Wang Yuanchen replied. “No one knew who it was. He had never appeared in public, and no information could be found.”
Bai Xi frowned slightly. So mysterious?
.
Han Zhuo took out a tube of blood from his arm and placed it on the tray.
Shi Tian nodded and signalled the laboratory technician to take the blood to the laboratory. Ten minutes later, the other party sent a message saying that the test results were normal and there were no interference items.
“I’m glad you were willing to cooperate. To be honest, I had been worried before, worried that you would inject yourself with some useless drugs in advance.” Shi Tian pressed the call button and let the screen in front of him display a synchronized picture; Zhou Jing was put on a stretcher and taken all the way to the van.
“In half an hour, this poor girl would return to her home,” Shi Tian said. “But I didn’t want us to clash again in the future, do you understand?”
“What happened to her bones?” Han Zhuo put down his sleeves.
“It’s just a common out-of-control abnormality. This is related to her mother swallowing a large number of inhibitory drugs when she was pregnant. To put it simply, this Miss Zhou was a delayed deformed child.” Shi Tian poured himself a glass of wine. “I have long said that there was no need for Old Zhou’s shop to exist. Those medicines and juices could not 100% guarantee that the superpower would disappear. They would only interfere with our research and give birth to more and more weird children.”
“You are the culprit that caused all this,” Han Zhuo stood up and said coldly. “Also, all superpowers knew that Old Zhou had not completely developed a risk-free drug, but they still chose to use their own bodies to gamble, because in this way, they could lose their research value and escape from your pursuers.”
“It sounded a little cruel, but that was how the world was. The weak eat the strong.” Shi Tian handed him a glass of wine and smiled slightly. “When you witnessed more reality, you would choose to come back here sooner or later. I believed there would be that one day.”
Han Zhuo turned around and left the laboratory. He walked in a hurry and quickly disappeared from the surveillance camera.
