This time, Doctor Mo didn’t give Su Ziyue any response. However, his lack of response showed that the ‘Gricy’ he mentioned was indeed the largest international Mafia that Su Ziyue knew—Gricy!
“Two years ago, Gricy started the ‘K7’ drug production plan and it’s not a secret. However, this ‘K7’ drug production team is extremely mysterious. Its exact location is only known to a few leaders in Gricy. Besides, I heard that ‘K7’ drug production team has the world’s most advanced equipment and encompasses the medical field’s most—”
Qin Muchen knitted his eyebrows and glared angrily, “Mo Xiyi, cut straight to the point!” This guy, once he speaks about medical-related topics, he will talk nineteen to the dozen.
“Alright.” Mo Xiyi replied in a low voice before continuing, “I suspect the liquid that Mrs. Qin drank earlier on is added with the drug, which is produced by ‘K7’ drug production team. Because as far as I know, no other drug manufacturer other than ‘K7’ can produce this kind of drug.”
Even if there was, it would certainly be snatched by Gricy from the beginning. Even most of the researchers in the ‘K7’ team were sought from all over the world. Some of them joined Gricy for money and benefit. All the mafia did were illegal activities, so starting the ‘K7’ drug production plan was definitely not aimed to produce life-saving drugs.
Upon hearing that, Qin Muchen’s face turned grave. Su Ziyue was inwardly shocked too. If this drug was really from Gricy, did that mean that Gong Shuzhe had connections with the members of Gricy? Or worse, had Gricy infiltrated the country? After all, Gricy was only active in Europe all this while.
Mo Xiyi set his eyes on Su Ziyue again. “There’s nothing unusual in Mrs. Qin’s body and there’s no drug residue either. I’m not sure if there’ll be any side effects or not, so I’ll visit regularly after this to examine Mrs. Qin.”
Hearing that, Qin Muchen subtly nodded. Then, he directed Mo Xiyi, “Come with me.”
“Doctor Mo and I have things to discuss.” After informing Su Ziyue, Qin Muchen and Mo Xiyi went to the study room upstairs.
Meanwhile, Su Ziyue took out her phone and started to search for Gricy. As the largest international mafia, Gricy had always been extremely mysterious yet high profile. It interfered with a country’s presidential election, smuggled arms and materials, trafficked drugs, produced drugs… The entire organization was involved in almost all fields and industries. It was the wealthiest, most powerful, yet most inhumane.
In the past, Su Ziyue had heard about it, but she had never paid any particular attention to it. There wasn’t much information on the internet either. All she could find were the news that were often passed around verbally by the public. She went to the next two pages and suddenly stumbled upon an entry with the title ‘The Most Inhuman Gang, Using Humans in Experiments…’ She clicked on it. The article didn’t state which gang it was, but Su Ziyue had assumed in her own mind that it was Gricy.
Although the title was eye-catching, there wasn’t any useful content. It only reported that the increasing rate of missing people in the country these few years, was due to the human trafficking by mafias from foreign countries for human experiments. Although these reports seemed groundless, Su Ziyue still felt chills down her spine when she saw the phrase ‘human experiments’. She closed the web page and sat for a while before returning to the kitchen to continue cooking what Qin Muchen had left behind just now.
…
In the study room upstairs, as soon as Mo Xiyi followed Qin Muchen into the room, he heard Qin Muchen said, “Close the door behind you.”
Right after Mo Xiyi turned around to close the door, Qin Muchen added, “Lock it.”
Mo Xiyi was stunned but he locked the study door anyway.
“Have the results from the previous examination come out? What’s the cause of the disease?” Facing his back at Mo Xiyi, Qin Muchen walked toward the French window while asking in a calm flat tone. He then reached out his hand to open the curtains of the French window. At once, the sunset ray shone in from outside, which has a luxuriantly greenish landscape. Summer had arrived, so everything had to end soon…
The light in the room was dim. Qin Muchen stood in front of the French window, where light and shadow intercepted, causing his figure to seem tall and straight, yet half of it was devoured in loneliness. Mo Xiyi took a few steps forward and stopped two steps behind Qin Muchen. “Stiffness and numbness in the arms are the most common symptoms in arm diseases. There are many causes but…” Mo Xiyi suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence.
“Go on.” Qin Muchen still had not turned around, but his straightened back seemed unusually stiff.
Mo Xiyi frowned. “These symptoms normally occur in the middle-aged group and the elderly. However, your physical examination results show that you’re healthy.”
“Really?” Qin Muchen turned his head back and raised his eyebrows while looking at Mo Xiyi.
Mo Xiyi looked down, remaining silent without uttering a word.
Qin Muchen said, “Finish your sentence.”
A tinge of concern appeared in Mo Xiyi’s eyes while he continued his remaining sentence. Upon hearing that, Qin Muchen’s expression changed as it soon returned to normal. After a while, he instructed Mo Xiyi in a low voice, “You mustn’t let anyone know about this matter, including Nan Chuan, Bai Jingshu or… Su Ziyue.”
…
When Mo Xiyi and Qin Muchen came down, Su Ziyue had finished cooking and was serving the food on the dining table.
Mo Xiyi left after having his meal with them. After sending Mo Xiyi away, Su Ziyue curiously asked Qin Muchen, “Does Doctor Mo have mysophobia?”
“Yeah.”
“Then why did he stay back and have a meal with us? Won’t someone with mysophobia feel that eating with other people is not as hygienic as it’s supposed to be?”
Upon hearing that, Qin Muchen smiled and replied, “Compared to his mysophobia, perhaps his sponsor who invests in his research weighs more in his heart. In his perception, research outweighs everything else.” If it wasn’t for his arm, perhaps Mo Xiyi would never step out of his laboratory in his life.
“You are investing in his research? Does that mean that you’re actually partners?” Su Ziyue continued to ask him.
“You can put it that way.”
Su Ziyue still wanted to press on, but Qin Muchen raised his hand and knocked on her forehead. “He’s a clean freak who’s only interested in research equipment. There’s nothing interesting about him. Let’s go to sleep.”
…
Due to the incident in the café, Su Ziyue only managed to sleep late at night. When she arrived at the company the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes. However, everything seemed peaceful and normal, and there was nothing unusual. Yet, when Su Ziyue came back after lunch, the atmosphere in the company had changed. Su Ziyue was perplexed.
Therefore, she decided to ask Li Qingluo about it after she went to the office. When she walked into the lift, she recalled that there was a notification alert from her phone during lunch just now, so she took it out to check it. After she took her phone out and saw the push news, her expression changed abruptly.
