Wu Zifan knew from the beginning that there was something wrong with the Huo family's invitation.
Yes, he knew it from the beginning.
Because unless they have a plan, the Huo family has no reason to appear in front of them with a contract.
It's not like he didn't hesitate or worry about getting his family and friends involved.
But his strong curiosity and desire to discover still defeated him.
His life is as peaceful as a lake, with only fine pebbles occasionally causing ripples. But he knew clearly that there were turbulences and whirlpools under the lake, and he knew that the ferocious lake monster was lurking in the depths of the lake. He tossed and turned on the undercurrent, unable to sleep with the roars of the fighting on his pillow, but there was a thick film between him and the real and ferocious world, and nothing could be seen or touched.
How could he endure such a life? Ordinary, tasteless, a life whose ending can be seen at a glance.
Danger? dark? crazy? So what? He would find it interesting even to find out what the Yu Huo family wanted to do against him.
When he followed the Huo family into the black market for the first time, went deep into the underground world for the first time, and saw the secret experiment sites for the first time, he felt an unprecedented stimulation and excitement - like walking on the tip of a knife, Dancing in the lava mouth. He knew how right his choice was.
And this is just the beginning.
At the beginning, the Huo family did not completely trust him, but only gave him some simple treatment work, including physical examination and diagnosis for the volunteers in the experiments. But this does not prevent Wu Zifan from gaining a glimpse of the Huo family's ongoing research through the patient's condition.
The projects being developed by the Huo family are mainly divided into two categories. One is neurotoxins that can cause dependence as a side effect, anesthetize and control the human brain, and the other is genetic drugs that stimulate cultivation talents or instant combat effectiveness by overdrafting life.
Among them, the research on neurotoxins is more in-depth, and the basic symptoms of patients are relatively stable. Only those patients with sudden mutation are more difficult, and there are rare cases where people cannot be saved. However, the experimenters of genetic drugs are not so lucky. Statistics show that disability and death are commonplace.
As for why it's about data... it's because he can only have access to data for this branch of the project for the time being. The Huo family doesn't seem to intend to include him, an ordinary person, in their current innovative research.
Although Wu Zifan also deeply regrets those who died. But he also knew that these people had voluntarily signed contracts and put life and death at risk, and that it was inevitable to devote themselves to science and medicine.
Not to mention the black market, even those great doctors and doctors in ancient times wanted to discover the unique effects of an herbal medicine and compile an ideal prescription. How could they not sacrifice a single patient?
Tear off the camouflage of human rights and ethics, use seemingly cruel but actually efficient means to exchange for research results that benefit the general public, and bear death in exchange for the hope of life on the premise that you are willing and I am willing, is it not a more transcendent and great thing? What about the level of nobility?
What he can do is try his best to treat these patients, organize and upload samples and data in a timely manner, speed up the pace of research, so that these drugs can be developed faster and avoid more people being sacrificed.
The words of gratitude and the trusting eyes of those patients made him firmly believe in this.
He must have done nothing wrong, otherwise how could he get such a sincere and sincere response from the patient? Not even the patients in the hospital were like that.
Perhaps it was because he was not only more persistent than the doctors the Huo family had hired before, but he also completed the work unexpectedly well. The Huo family assigned him more and more project data, and their monitoring of him gradually relaxed.
Wu Zifan is very satisfied with the current situation. He had known that he could easily adapt to this situation.
Just look at that Nan Bo Tu, that guy who obviously knows a lot but just wants to be a salted fish, who is always secretive and refuses to reveal any clues, and treats himself as a child who has not grown up.
Even this kind of person is capable of dealing with those complicated environments and relationships, why can't he?
And Wu Jinglong, the old man would never have thought that his son, whom he disliked in every possible way, could be recognized by so many people and achieve such achievements - he could have completely escaped the protection of Wu's Medical Center and accepted the real side of the world. Baptized by wind and frost - even, he is obviously more suitable for such an environment.
Until that day, he accidentally turned over a business plan sandwiched with experimental data.
The appearance of that plan was indeed an accident, because at first glance, the financial statements on the paper were no different from the experimental data tables they compiled. And just ten minutes after Wu Zifan discovered this, the project leader hurried over and took away the plan without saying a word.
But ten minutes is enough to do a lot of things.
With Wu Zifan's curiosity, how could he not seize every opportunity to learn about all the Huo family's actions and plans? The plan that accidentally appeared on his desk was secretly backed up by him as soon as possible, and he kept it in his study for a long time and read it over and over again.
Commercial finance is not Wu Zifan's field of expertise, and this plan is not the common market analysis, project planning, product marketing or business expansion of outside companies, but more like a targeted, illegal and violent plan for some self-employed households. Bankruptcy acquires the design, and then logically adds these people to their experimental volunteer list.
Like a spider tightening its hunting web.
It was at this time that Wu Zifan gradually realized that the Huo family he saw, which was already so shady, might be just the tip of the iceberg of a huge enterprise.
He began to systematically inquire about the Huo family's activities outside of experimental research, chatting with the guards, and talking to the volunteers.
Facts have proved that the situation in that plan is not an exception, but the most common and effective method when the Huo family is "short of people." Even these "volunteers" themselves are not completely unaware of the role the Huo family played in the difficulties they experienced in the past.
But there was nothing they could do. They can only come here "voluntarily".
The Huo family, this ferocious monster, is silently and viciously destroying other people's lives. It also lures and bewitches the homeless into its bloody mouth, and devours people bit by bit.
And he stood at the feet of the monster, thinking that others were afraid of the monster only because of its ugliness and size, and thinking that he could put aside his prejudices and stand beside such a monster and do his best to save those lost people. What a glorious thing - like a discerning and loyal and kind knight.
But in fact, he is just a hideous-looking demon. Those so-called "mercy" are just anesthesia for "death-row prisoners" before they die.
And patients' gratitude is conditional. Because they still don’t know that Wu Zifan, the “doctor”, is different from the previous “doctors”
——He came voluntarily. Voluntary in the true sense of the word.
Wu Zifan thought, in fact, he might not be as righteous as he imagined. Because when he discovered the truth behind the curtain, the first thing that came to his mind was not guilt and repentance, but fear.
When he loses his use value, will the hungry monster of the Huo family suddenly lower his head one day and eat him until no bones are left?
He is different from those who are struggling to survive in the black market. He has a clean identity and has family and friends to care about.
What's more important is that he didn't need to take such a risk at all!
But he also understood that after reaching this point, the Huo family was determined not to let him quit easily.
He needs something to rely on that makes the Huo family feel wary and frightened.
He collected experimental data and project details that he could collect in his position, and even used his job to secretly record many audio and video recordings of experimental processes and researchers and volunteers. But these are not significant enough.
He needs something more complete and explosive - a list of personnel, signatures on the plan, a master project plan, financial statements, and so on.
Of course, these things are also harder to collect. At least in his current position, it is impossible to have access to these materials.
But Wu Zifan didn't want to stay in the quagmire of the Huo family. He didn't want to waste his time playing undercover games here. He began to monitor and patrol the laboratory, directly stealing and backing up important information.
Maybe it's because the Huo family has been busy with too many things recently, or maybe it's because they really didn't expect that Wu Zifan, a "research madman" who "also lost his humanity", would suddenly switch sides at the most critical moment of the project. At the beginning, No one really discovered what Wu Zifan did.
But his luck soon ran out.
After discovering that he was exposed, Wu Zifan took away all the information he had obtained, and at the last moment opened the most expensive and largest equipment in the laboratory and set up overload power idling; on the way to escape, he also fired a The lockers storing special chemical reagents were rummaged through, and the entire experimental room was turned into an inflammable and explosive space bomb.
Then, pong——
All the recent experimental results of the Huo family were destroyed.
Facts have proved that although Wu Zifan had already prepared a "backup" for his possible failure, it indeed caused great losses to the Huo family, delayed their search time, and gave him a chance to escape from the black market in the chaos, but His plan was obviously full of holes.
First of all, he is still unable to determine the serious consequences of this explosion, including the loss of data and casualties. But this directly determines the Huo family's attitude towards him and the final measures that may be taken.
Secondly, he didn't think about how the Huo family would treat his family after what happened. His family doesn't even know what he did on the black market until now.
Finally, and most importantly - he never thought about where he should flee with these information, and who he should seek asylum from.
All he could think of was running to the downtown area, where there were the most people. He could only bet that the Huo family would not dare to expose their force to the public, and would not dare to blatantly kidnap, kidnap or kill people in public.
Those guys had guns.
This time, he really got into trouble. From beginning to end.
…
"Attention, all teams! Attention, all teams! Teams No. 1, 4, and 13 went to the northeast entrance of Fuding Building! The northeast entrance of Fuding Building! It is not yet clear whether they have found the target mission. They carry guns and bullets. There are cultivators included! There is a large flow of people at the entrance to the subway station on the first floor, so all teams should be on alert and pay attention to target positioning! You can shoot when necessary! Please reply when you receive it!"
"Black Tiger received it!"
"Silver Dragon received it!"
"Bixie received it!"
"Red Bee received it!"
…
After hearing the replies from each team, Yang He sighed slightly.
Nie Tianyao, who was standing next to him, saw him put down the walkie-talkie, leaned over with a smile, and said:
"Congratulations, the first command task given to you by senior is so exciting."
Yang He glared at her:
"Work hard! Who knows if those people in the Huo family will really go crazy. This time they actually dared to expose all the people in the black market. How many things did this little doctor steal..."
"The positioning program is running. Why don't I just relax and analyze it with you? It is said that this doctor has only been in the Huo family for less than three months. Logically speaking, he should not be exposed to this level of information. This time the Huo family I was too relaxed, and I stumbled. Tsk, tut, you deserve it~"
Nie Tianyao didn't pay attention to Yang He's warning and knocked on the casing of his computer leisurely.
"It's either the list or the flow of funds, as well as various evidence of illegal experiments. In short, no matter what he stole, it can make the Huo family so nervous, we have to find a way to save them~ We want to catch these people's pigtails But it’s not easy. It’s best to make them break the precept this time, so that we can ruthlessly kill them all!
"Oh, look, he ran into the subway. I really don't know whether to call him smart or not. But he is really brave~"
"As an ordinary person, escaping here is probably the limit. He doesn't seem to know our existence at all. We have to keep people here and not let the problem continue to expand."
Yang He shook his head and raised the walkie-talkie again.
"Yinlong, coordinate to shut down the subway immediately; Biscorpion, quickly control the target, don't let him escape again, you can reveal his identity; Black Tiger and Red Bee, keep an eye on the Huo family, first kill all those with guns. Take it, and take the others with them if they resist! Others are mobile. Please reply when you receive it!"
After receiving a series of walkie-talkie replies, Yang He did not relax. Instead, he pinched the Qingming point, his face full of worry.
"What's the matter? You're handling this very well, aren't you? We have dispatched so many elites this time, and we have also borrowed troops from Qingzhou City. We will definitely have no problem taking down the main force of the Huo family~"
Nie Tianyao's hands quickly tapped the keyboard, and then smoothly turned the screen towards Yang He.
"Look, I just hacked into the subway surveillance system. Everything went according to plan. Even the evacuation of irrelevant people went smoothly. They couldn't make any splash."
However, Yang He did not relax because of Nie Tianyao's words:
"I always feel that something has been missed... I always feel that everything went too easily and smoothly, from someone giving us clues, to tracking the target, and now the thugs who control the Huo family..."
"They are dog-eating-dog, let us take advantage of it, there are so many twists and turns. As for relaxation, how relaxed is it, okay? Can't you see that my hands are going to cramp from typing on the keyboard?"
Nie Tianyao puffed up his cheeks, rolled his eyes, and then said,
"However, the Huo family's behavior is a bit too weak. They just rush forward without worrying about whether someone is following them, preparing to catch the cicadas and oriole behind. Shouldn't their profession be more anti-reconnaissance awareness? The people responsible for this area have all gone..."
Before Nie Tianyao finished speaking, Yang He's expression suddenly changed:
"No. There are fewer people. Xu Wenbo from Team 1 is missing! There is also a problem with the number of people in each team. They are all missing! They split the teams to other places! Monitor and confirm immediately!"
Nie Tianyao immediately became serious, turned the camera and scanned around the subway station, and his expression became more serious:
"The number of people does not match the intelligence. It is true that Xu Wenbo was not found. They deliberately selected people to avoid being noticed!"
"Aside from this doctor, who else is worthy of them transferring some of the main force at the same time, and still secretly doing so? Trading? No, there is no mood to trade now. It's data. Who else could have backed up the data in this doctor's hands? superior?"
"Wu's Medical Center has been controlled by the Huo family. However, it seems that they accidentally offended the Nan family, and the two sides are still fighting. But judging from the attitude of the Huo family, it is obvious that they have not found anything, so they have put the matter on hold for the time being. .”
Nie Tianyao was infected by the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but bite her lips and help analyze.
"The other thing is the city hospital. The Huo family did send people there, but they are still in the stage of infiltrating and inquiring. They probably don't have a clear target and cannot use those elite armed forces. I really can't think of anyone else who can get involved with him. , and the Huo family is so afraid. We have never paid attention to this doctor before, and there is not much information in the database. "
This is also the reason why Yang He is worried. He could only let his brain work quickly to integrate and sort out the only information:
"Wu's Medical Center is the past; City Hospital is the present; and the future...isn't he a senior intern? Where will he work after graduation? Or where will he continue his studies? Have he come into contact with relevant people?"
"Let me check!...Yes! He applied for the National Medical University! He is in the after-hui group of clinical medicine! Professor Yu's student Nan Botu is also interning in the city hospital, and Wu Zifan seems to be closer to him. But this person was at that time At Wu's Medical Center, the Huo family just let him go, obviously not doubting him."
"Yu...Hui...sheng...? Yu Huisheng? Wait, isn't this Professor Lin's...Yu Huisheng in Fengcheng now? Have he and Wu Zifan met? Check it out immediately!"
As soon as Yang He finished speaking, a new message came from the other end of the intercom:
"Jin Lin, this is Jade Scorpion. The target person has been controlled, is conscious, and has lost the ability to resist. Please reply after receiving it."
"Jin Lin received it. Ask him if he has met Professor Yu Huisheng recently!"
"Bixie received it!"
"Jin Lin, this is the Black Tiger. All gunmen have been subdued and the guns have been confiscated. Another 17 cultivators have taken action and have been arrested. The other members are fleeing. Do you want to pursue them? Please reply when you receive them."
"Jin Lin received it. Black Tiger, please give priority to ensuring the control of the suspect, and work with the Biscorpion team to bring the target back to the base as soon as possible; each mobile team intercepts his accomplices; Red Bee and White Shark immediately lead the team to meet Jin Lin outside the Fuding Building Meet up! There is an emergency here and we need support!"
"Black Tiger received it."
"Red Bee received it!"
"White Shark received it!"
"Yang. Yu Huisheng did come to Fengcheng some time ago, and now lives at Nanbotu's house. He also participated in the expert exchange meeting at the city hospital before, and many people have met him. But his latest phone number is not there. .I’m still looking!”
Nie Tianyao's voice suddenly interrupted, and then the voice from the intercom confirmed this:
"Golden Scale! This is Biscorpion. The target said that he did meet Professor Yu two days ago, but he did not disclose the Huo family's information and information to the other party. He only knew that Professor Yu lived in an apartment near Haitang Park , should be staying at the student’s home.”
"Jinlin received it! After the on-site treatment is completed, you can escort people back to the branch base as soon as possible. Professor Yu will most likely ask our people for help."
When Yang He heard this, he was almost certain that the Huo family's secret target was Yu Huisheng. Although he was still young at the time, he still heard about Professor Lin's work in the Secret Service, and later even checked the relevant files himself.
The Huo family is able to sell weapons and banned drugs in Fengcheng and act unscrupulously, largely because the big families in the capital are protecting them, and the Huo family is also helping these big families do dirty work. The Secret Service once analyzed that Professor Lin was killed that year by a certain aristocratic family who commissioned the Huo family.
After Professor Lin was killed, the Secret Service has not made any major progress in related research fields for many years. Professor Yu Huisheng, as the spouse of Professor Lin Haiqing, although he retained Professor Lin's belongings and some research materials that no one could decipher, he ultimately chose to avoid related research directions. Although the Secret Service understood it, they also felt sorry for it. Quite regrettable and regretful.
For nearly twenty years, everyone thought the matter was completely over. But he never thought that the changes in the Huo family this time would involve Yu Huisheng again, and even return to the whirlpool of twenty years ago.
No matter what Yu Huisheng's current situation is, or whether there is something in his hand that makes the Huo family fearful, just because he is Professor Lin's family member, they must ensure his safety!
"I looked at the surveillance cameras near Haitang Park and could only tell that he was running towards the old city, probably planning to go to our base for help. He never called again. There were too few surveillance cameras in the old city and I couldn't determine the exact location. I All monitoring on the path is being called now."
Nie Tianyao quickly entered a few more lines of code into the computer and pressed the Enter key.
Many real-time video pop-ups flashed across the screen, all located near the old city, but without exception, Yu Huisheng was nowhere to be seen:
"Hell, he was probably afraid of being discovered, so he ran into an unmonitored alley!"
"Don't worry, you continue to investigate. Let's move towards the old city first. All members of the Golden Scale Team are ready to set off and join the Red Bee and White Shark!!"
