Chapter 764

“Also, before recruiting them into the company, I investigated their backgrounds and there was no

problem.”

Philip was silent as he looked at the two guys on the ground. He asked, “How are they usually like? Do

they interact with other people? Are there any attendance records?”

Wynn glanced at Vulture who lay in a pool of blood. Fortunately, the window was open and fresh air

could come in. Otherwise, standing in this utility room would be quite scary.

“The two of them didn’t really talk much. Their personalities were not bad, but they’re both scientific

researchers. As such, their communication skills are quite average. They were mostly focused on

research. Generally speaking, the people who were in contact with them are the workers in the

laboratory. Access records should be available and can be checked later.”

Wynn was right. The people they usually came into contact with were colleagues in the research room,

and they did not interact with other colleagues in the company. These people were focused on

research and very organized, so nothing much ever happened.

Even the entry and exit records of the researchers were very clearly recorded, so it was almost

impossible to contact the people outside.

“That’s weird. From what I can see today, these two people are both first-class killers, which don’t fit

what you just said.”

Philip frowned. “This is indeed too abnormal. Even if they’ve prepared for the role before you recruited

them, it would’ve been difficult for them to keep up the act this entire time.”

Wynn nodded. She could not help recalling the scene in the laboratory just now. When North Wolf

strangled her, he did not seem to be a researcher at all. His murderous aura was terrifying!

“From what you said, it’s indeed very unusual for these two to keep up with their pretense for so long.

So what?” Wynn asked suspiciously.

“I need to confirm this again. Are you sure you recruited them personally back then? Nothing went

wrong in the middle?”

Wynn thought for a while, then said with certainty, “I’m sure. I personally recruited the people for the

R&D of the new drug. Except for the adjustment of a few individual employees, there were no other

changes. There has never been an accident in the research room.”

Philip nodded and continued his line of questioning, “And the developments in the new drugs only

happened very recently, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“In other words, if there’s someone behind the scenes, it’s impossible for them to predict what you’re

experimenting and when you’ll succeed,” Philip said.

“You’re right.”

Wynn nodded, pinched her chin, and said, “The research on this anti-cancer drug was only a

conjecture made by the company back then, and no one thought that it would produce any results, so

the enemy couldn’t have had that foresight. Moreover, the results of this research topic only appeared

in the first half of the year. Is it possible that there’s a fortune teller behind them?”

“Impossible! Don’t be absurd,” Philip said.

Wynn fell into deep thought and suddenly shook a finger. “In that case, there’s only one possibility.

They were bought off by someone.”

“No, that can’t be it,” Philip immediately refuted.

“Why not? Only by being bought off can we reasonably explain why they instigated this dangerous

incident,” Wynn said, insisting.

Philip smiled and said, “You forgot one thing. They’re not ordinary people but assassins!”

Wynn came to a realization and frowned. They were killers, not ordinary people, let alone scientific

research experts.

Philip said, “Their skills are extraordinary, so they can’t be the scientific researchers you claimed.”

As he said that, he could not help recalling the superb stealth and assassination skills of Vulture. The

dagger that struck out in the dark almost pierced his neck.

That sort of prowess was not something an ordinary scientific researcher could have!

“In that case, there’s only one last explanation left.” Philip said solemnly, “It seems that these two

people have been swapped out.”

“Swapped out?”

For a while, Wynn could not figure out what Philip meant.

Philip glanced at Wynn, pinched his chin, and analyzed it for her.

“According to my guess, they were not bought off at all.”

“How could they do such a thing if they weren’t bought off?” Wynn was puzzled.

“This is my guess,” Philip said, “These two people are probably not the two scientific researchers you

recruited in the first place. Just think about it. Everyone is working in the research room. Every day,

they wear this heavy research uniform and also wear masks. Most people don’t even know what they

look like.”

Wynn started to nod slightly before shaking her head again. “That’s not right. The doors of the research

lab require fingerprint scans. It’s impossible to change fingerprints.”

“Hehe, fingerprints are actually very easy to disguise. You just don’t know it.” Philip laughed and said,

“If a person can even disguise their face, do you really think fingerprints can pose a problem to them?”
