Chapter 936: 934 Unexpected Person and Identity

“Wen… Head Wen, I… really don’t know what happened, you don’t have to make things difficult for me…”

Even now, he wanted to make a final struggle, thinking that as long as he stuck to this point, as long as he didn’t talk, he wouldn’t get involved in anything.

Wen Xin had already seen through his thoughts. She looked at the researcher with a faint smile…

“You can continue to be slippery, but I don’t need your consent to get the words out of you!”

Seeing Wen Xin’s wicked smile, the researcher felt a chill down his spine, and he slowly bowed his head.

“I… I don’t know much, I only know that a virus specimen from the Research Institute of the Independent State leaked, so a few people came to our institute to conduct experiments…”

Halfway through his speech, the researcher looked up at Wen Xin, not wanting to say too much, thinking he could easily brush her off with a few perfunctory words since Wen Xin was just a young lady who might not understand the full picture.

Wen Xin saw the look in the researcher’s eyes and knew what he was thinking. She laughed nonchalantly and turned to look at Mu Chengxi.

“Master Xi, would you trouble yourself to capture this person and bring him to the laboratory? I’d like to hear some truth from him.”

As she spoke, Wen Xin took out a silver needle from her pocket. With a raise of her hand, she pricked the needle into the researcher’s neck as he looked on in horror, instantly robbing him of his ability to speak.

Just then, the elevator arrived at the floor where Sun Ning’s laboratory was located, and the doors slowly opened.

Looking at Wen Xin, fear filled the researcher’s eyes. Seeing the incoming elevator doors, his first impulse was to flee as fast as possible.

But before he could even move, Mu Chengxi grabbed his collar, giving him no chance to struggle, and dragged him towards the direction of Sun Ning’s laboratory.

Wen Xin followed leisurely behind Mu Chengxi, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowing as she watched his movements, seemingly unfamiliar with seeing Mu Chengxi in action.

When they reached Sun Ning’s laboratory, Wen Xin used her access card to unlock the door. Upon seeing Wen Xin, both Sun Ning and Xiao Mi inside became somewhat excited; however, confusion spread across their faces the next second as they saw the person Mu Chengxi was holding.

“Sister, this is…”

Before Sun Ning could speak, Xiao Mi took the initiative to ask Wen Xin about the person Mu Chengxi had brought in.

“He’s a researcher from the institute. Some problems have arisen there recently, and this man should know some of the secrets. I’ve captured him to inquire about the situation.”

Sun Ning understood what Wen Xin wanted to ask. Even though he had been in his laboratory for the past few days, he had seen a few familiar faces in the cafeteria; they just didn’t recognize him, that’s all.

“Yes, recently the laboratory has indeed been not very calm. Ask him what he knows, and then we can exchange information.”

Sun Ning wasn’t ready to clearly state the problems he had discovered. He wanted to be sure he hadn’t mistaken the people because these were no ordinary individuals.

Wen Xin had Mu Chengxi place the man on a chair. She walked to the opposite side of the researcher, made eye contact with him, and motioned for him to look into her eyes.

At the moment when their eyes met, Wen Xin raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and the eyes of the researcher began to dull, the entire person appearing as though they had lost their soul.

Having confirmed that the researcher had been hypnotized by her, Wen Xin stood up and removed the silver needle from the researcher’s body. She placed one hand on the researcher’s shoulder and gently patted it.

“Tell me about the current state of the research institute, and what exactly is the deal with those people from the Independent State!”

No sooner had Wen Xin posed her question than the researcher began to speak like a robot, slowly opening his mouth.

“They are several individuals from the Biological Laboratory in the Independent State. Since fifteen years ago, the Biological Laboratory in the Independent State has established resource sharing with the laboratories in Beijing, but it isn’t really resource sharing. It’s merely unilaterally providing data to the Independent State.”

“This time, the Independent State arranged for people to come because there was a loss of experimental specimens in their biological laboratory, and they required the Capital City Laboratory to provide data. However, it seems that now the Independent State has too many samples in their biological laboratory, so they transferred the viral research to the Capital City Laboratory.”

“Right now, they are still in the early stages of the experiments, posing no threat to humanity, but that will change later on. These viruses and toxins possess unpredictable dangers…”

After the researcher got to this point, he suddenly paused. A dangerous gleam flickered in Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes. She felt that these people were utterly inhumane, their actions utterly disregarding human life.

“Who is in charge of this matter? Is it the director of the institute?” Wen Xin was now eagerly wanting to know who was controlling all of this, as deep down she always had some doubts,

“It’s not the director. The director has always been holding on to something. In fact, he wants to resist, but he is hampered by the things he wants to safeguard. And so, the director can only compromise again and again…”

“The one who is truly in contact with the Independent State is the deputy director of the institute, Yang Zhimin…”

Upon hearing this, Wen Xin was somewhat taken aback; she had never heard of this person, let alone knew of the things he had done.

When Sun Ning heard the researcher mention this name, the tweezers in his hand involuntarily dropped. He looked at the researcher in disbelief, seeming to know the person and unable to imagine that he would do such a thing.

Hearing the sound of something hitting the floor, Wen Xin turned her head to look at Sun Ning and involuntarily furrowed her brows.

“What? You know this person?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sun Ning met Wen Xin’s gaze, without any hint of evasion, hesitating unconsciously for a moment. He lowered his head, was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly lifted his head to look at Wen Xin.

“I know him, not just know him but am quite familiar. He is my mentor, and also the son of the Seventh Elder of the Independent State Council of Elders…”

Listening to Sun Ning’s response, Wen Xin unconsciously furrowed her brows. She had thought of many possibilities, but she never imagined that this person would be the son of a member of the Elders Guild.

Wen Xin nonchalantly took a silver needle from her pocket, pricked the researcher’s head with it, and soon the researcher passed out, without any consciousness.

After knocking out the researcher, Wen Xin looked at Sun Ning, her eyebrows slightly raised.

“You’ve been in the institute for some time now, have you seen that deputy director? If you’ve met him, how could he not recognize you?”
