When the rich and powerful were lined up to confess

I can't describe my current state of mind.

Amidst the drowsy lotus-like fragrance, He Shaozheng slowly opened his eyes.

This time, he didn't sleep so peacefully.

It was like falling into an invisible abyss.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the scene of the explosion.

He saw with his own eyes that Chu Xueyao closed his eyes like this in front of him, and the eyelashes of his eyes trembled slightly, even if it was a fragile butterfly that had just experienced a storm and had nowhere to find a harbor.

However, just as he was trying to reach out and hold the trembling hand, in the next second, a gentle light blew away everything.

He Shaozheng slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he realized that he was actually resting on someone's shoulder.

That person's shoulders are very thin and thin, which may not be noticeable just by looking at them, but if you really lean on them, there will be some people, like an empty shelf——

——Normal people will not have such a body, unless they have experienced some kind of trauma that is difficult to heal.

His eyes narrowed a little, the person he was pillowing had soft lines on his face, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he just looked at the lotus on the lotus pond not far away.

"you're awake."

Smiling, Chu Ziyuan turned his head.

There was just the right amount of concern in his eyes, which neither violated He Shaozheng's sense of distance too much nor made people feel alienated.

"Mr. He... just now, after you asked me some questions inexplicably, you fainted like this."

"And... still calling out a name."

"—Chu Xueyao."

As he spoke, he paused, with a puzzled expression on his face, and his voice softened a little, "Mr. He, have we met before?"

All of a sudden, it was as if a person was in the invisible fog, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, breaking through the dust, and touched his trousers.

"Brother He... please don't forget me."

…………

—Yes, we've met before.

He Shaozheng recovered slightly.

At that time, you said please don't forget me, but it's a pity... In the end I kept this promise, but you were the one who forgot first.

——The first person to forget...is you.

He Shaozheng smiled slightly.

The smile on his face was very faint, on that rather pale face, still soaked in a little sweat, it was as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but it was rare, with a fragile beauty.

He didn't know why he passed out just now, but He Shaozheng felt that his current mental state was very good.

It was completely different from Heinrich Mainz's previous medication method. He felt that his brain was more awake than ever before, as if he had slept for a long time and replenished enough physical strength.

Of course, he didn't doubt the person in front of him too much.

Maybe... because the image of that person in his heart was too good.

He Shaozheng heard his own voice and said lightly, "No, maybe I made a mistake."

"You look very similar to an old man."

After hearing this, Chu Ziyuan blinked his eyes.

And just when he was about to continue to say something, the man leaning on his shoulders slowly sat up straight, and no other emotional ups and downs could be seen on that handsome face, as if he had just leaned on him. In his arms, the man who murmured and called was not like him.

When He Shaozheng sat up, the light in Chu Ziyuan's eyes dimmed slightly.

His fingers hidden under the Tang suit fumbled lightly. He wanted to stop something, but in the end it hung down again.

--Not urgent.

——In the future... Anyway, there is still a lot of time.

Chu Ziyuan said so in his heart.

After He Shaozheng and Chu Ziyuan opened up a little distance, He Shaozheng rubbed his temples, and picked up the tea cup on the stone table in the pavilion.

He Shaozheng's tone returned to a businesslike attitude, "I'm here this time, just to hear an accurate statement."

"The pharmaceutical factory run by the Mainz family in the Philippines is suspected of illegally using living human samples and killing them when conducting drug experiments."

"In order to protect the relevant interests of human beings all over the world, Rising Sun will consider imposing certain sanctions on the Mainz family after conducting certain investigations... and now we need you, the Chu family, who are cooperating with Mainz, to send a message. "

He Shaozheng slowly raised his eyes, looked directly at Chu Ziyuan, and said.

"I want you to come with me, to the Philippines with me—in the name of the Chu family, what do you think?"

Sitting opposite He Shaozheng, Chu Ziyuan looked very gentle in his eyes.

At this moment, He Shaozheng couldn't even tell whether it was because the wind in the lotus pond was too warm, or because the sun was not so strong today.

He actually saw an amber halo in Chu Ziyuan's eyes.

He saw Chu Ziyuan smiled slightly at him, and said, "Okay."

There was almost no hesitation, a simple good word showed Chu Ziyuan's attitude.

And such a clean and neat attitude made He Shaozheng raise his eyebrows involuntarily.

"I remember that the cooperation between the Chu family and the Mainz family should have a lot to do with you. You are the executor of the launched Asian Celen Bell Company."

He Shaozheng looked into Chu Ziyuan's eyes, as if he wanted to be straight, to see what was hidden in the deepest part of his heart, as if to see if there was still something hidden under the calm face of the family heir. That extremely clean and thorough soul.

"Chu Ziyuan... If that's the case, why did you answer without hesitation?"

However, upon hearing He Shaozheng's questioning voice, Chu Ziyuan's reaction was still impeccable.

He smiled slightly, like a real heir who cared about his family, and analyzed it with eloquence.

"The Chu family and the Mainz family cooperated because of their interests. Mr. He, maybe you don't know that in the development of this new drug, the shares of United Pharmaceuticals are not equal."

"The Mainz family accounted for 70% of them, and the Asian Serenbel family only accounted for 30%. In the initial compilation of the gene map, the participation of the Asian Serenbel Pharmaceutical Group was no more than that of the Mainz family. There are few families, just because the Mainz family controls the three lines of the pharmaceutical industry... such a distribution of benefits is not balanced."

Chu Ziyuan looked very calm.

He said softly, "Betrayal may exist from the very beginning, the key lies in the size of the chips."

He Shaozheng narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.

His voice sank a bit, "If there is indeed a serious problem with the medicine developed by the Mainz family, we will definitely not let this medicine continue to be promoted, so it is very possible to cooperate with us. Your initial investment will be lost.”

"—Are you sure that the chips that Rising Sun offered are big enough, are you sure...we can bring you corresponding benefits?"

After hearing this, Chu Ziyuan's expression didn't change at all, and he said with a smile, "If this incident can weaken the strength of the Mainz family, then the Chu family's global pharmaceutical market will also expand further."

"In the long run, it's not a bad thing."

With that said, Chu Ziyuan stood up like this, and walked slowly to He Shaozheng's side.

His palm was gently placed on He Shaozheng's shoulder.

His movements did not have any charming arcs, as if he was an ordinary collaborator with the same three views and goals as He Shaozheng.

He Shaozheng could see that the Tang suit Chu Ziyuan was wearing was very exquisite, with extremely complicated patterns and lines embroidered on the cuffs.

Chu Ziyuan lowered his head lightly, and his light voice slowly rang in He Shaozheng's ear.

"I think... in the face of the potential global market, Mr. He, the chips you offered are indeed big enough."

This sentence seems to carry a little metaphor.

indeed……

In Chu Ziyuan's heart, in this world, there is no bigger bargaining chip than He Shaozheng.

——This man is the one he wants most and the one he wants to be with.

…………

After walking out of the Chu family's inner house, He Shaozheng felt somewhat uneasy for no reason.

He always felt that all this seemed too easy.

Frowning slightly, he nodded to Lei Meng who was waiting on the side, and after signaling for a while, he saw Chu Ziyuan pushing the client of the Chu family—Mr. Chu came out slowly.

Although he is already in his sixties, old man Chu's complexion still looks very good, and his bearing is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary old people.

And just when he saw He Shaozheng, a deep meaning flashed across Mr. Chu's face.

The young man in the Tang suit bent down gently like this, and stretched out his arms to hug the old man. From the outside, he looked very respectful and filial, but when he put his hands on the old man's skinny shoulders, Chu Ziyuan's voice Very light, but faintly carrying a little menacing meaning.

"Old man, look, is this person suitable as the husband of the next heir of the Chu family?"

Mr. Chu raised his eyes, glanced at the smiling Chu Ziyuan, and sighed, "You are too impulsive...Chu Ziyuan, do you know that if you really follow him to the Philippines this time, it will be considered a There is a pharmaceutical contract with the Mainz family, and the Mainz family will also open fire on us."

"No."

Chu Ziyuan's voice was very steady, "I kept a hand, the part of the final genetic map that Heinrich Mainz wanted...is still in our hands, if Heinrich wants to put that on If the investment of tens of billions of dollars is in vain like this, he may consider tearing up the contract and giving up the cooperation."

After being silent for a long time, Mr. Chu shook his head, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly complicated.

It's as if there is a little pride, but also a sense of panic that one's own junior is about to escape from his control.

"……it is good."

Mr. Chu sighed and said, "My good boy, since you have already made arrangements, I don't have anything more to say."

With that said, Mr. Chu stretched out his hand and patted him on the back lightly.

He said in a tone as if he had been there, "Ziyuan, but there is one thing I still want to remind you."

"—Sometimes, don't force it."

"It's like the rabbit that Congwen gave you when you were young. In fact, I always remember it... because your incompetent uncle always likes to give small things to juniors. But, Ziyuan, some Sometimes, what is not yours will never be yours."

"If you insist on trying to hold him tightly in your hands... In the end, you may not get anything."

After hearing this sentence, Chu Ziyuan's hand on the old man's back tightened slightly.

There was another smile on his lips, but with a little chill.

"Thank you for your reminder, I will remember, but this matter... will not happen to me."

"—never."

In the garden, the old and the young let go of their hands like this, as if there was no dispute between them just now, it was just an illusion of others.

Chu Ziyuan waved his hand with a smile, raised his right hand lightly, and casually talked about the situation here with the family guards, which further deepened the confinement and bondage of this person who is currently in power in the Chu family. care.

"I'll get everything I want."

Before boarding the plane, Chu Ziyuan smiled and signaled to He Shaozheng and his party, then turned around like this, and said so firmly to the Chu family's inner house with green shade and red walls.

…………

The timing was a little unfortunate.

There was a faint mist in the sky, and the visibility in the air was greatly reduced.

Due to the weather, Chu Ziyuan changed to another somewhat remote route, sitting on a private jet, still flipping through the newspaper in his hand very calmly.

Sitting not far from him, Huo Liancheng's expression was a little uncertain.

He also had to admit that the so-called next successor of Nanyang Chu's family was indeed courageous enough. In the invitation of Xuri who seemed to be coercing this time, he actually calmly boarded the special plane that belonged to Xuri. Didn't even bring any bodyguards, just a male secretary.

Huo Liancheng raised his eyebrows, and put down the wine glass he was holding in his hand, with a slightly stabbing voice.

He didn't forget how the family guard named Chu treated him contemptuously at that time.

With a soft snort, Huo Liancheng said, "Why, as the next hidden heir of the Chu family, you still don't know about the shady activities of the Mainz family's pharmaceuticals?"

After hearing Huo Liancheng's words, Chu Ziyuan gently put down his hand.

He was holding a stack of information in his hand - this was the information that Huo Liancheng and Lei Meng asked Rising Sun's intelligence technicians to find out before.

It clearly listed the accident that happened to the death row prisoner.

He Shaozheng had seen it before, and Heinrich Mainz basically chose death row prisoners with great physical and mental toughness. Various accidents and bizarre deaths.

Chu Ziyuan's expression was very calm, he even rubbed the bridge of his nose lightly, as if he wanted to relieve the fatigue from the long reading just now.

"Well... Indeed, I don't know much about it. After all, as partners with the Mainz family, we don't report everything to each other."

Shaking his head slightly, Chu Ziyuan frowned just right, as if he was a little shocked by the behavior of his partner.

—Cut, pretend it, you fucking pretend it for me.

Huo Liancheng pouted.

He Shaozheng looked at Chu Ziyuan with sharp eyes, "Are you sure?"

"Are you sure you don't have any knowledge of what the Mainz family has done?"

The big man Lei Meng just stood behind He Shaozheng, staring at him with extremely oppressive eyes.

Chu Ziyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally, he sighed helplessly, and put those extremely gentle eyes on He Shaozheng's body.

It was as if... when facing He Shaozheng, he would never be able to lie, and would only show the most sincere and sincere side.

"I really don't know about the human experimentation... But, if you want to get to the bottom of it, try to answer why Heinrich Mainz chose to use these extremely brutal death row prisoners as experimental specimens... I do have some interesting guesses."

Chu Ziyuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I don't know, have you ever heard of such a term..."

"—a born criminal."

"Oh?"

He Shaozheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Lombroso once put forward such a point of view, that is, no matter what kind of blood or skin color people have, it is possible to produce a special kind of people. This kind of people are physiologically similar to normal people. The simplest thing is that it is manifested in the appearance... But in a deeper way, Lombroso attributed the criminal instinct they possessed to their genes."

As he spoke, Chu Ziyuan ordered the secretary who followed him to take out the computer, and opened one of the documents in front of them.

"As I said before, the Mainz family gave us a large part of the project of gene mapping, and when studying genes, part of the objects covered are these executed prisoners."

When the secretary cut the file to another page, He Shaozheng saw the list of these genetic research candidates.

Among these lists, there are many very familiar names.

He Shaozheng's memory is very good, there are a few people who appeared on the death row prisoners who died due to various accidents.

"Yo, that's really an interesting piece of evidence."

Huo Liancheng said lazily.

——This can be regarded as a partial explanation...why Heinrich Mainz chose to use those executed prisoners to test the drug.

It's very simple, because the previous theoretical assumptions were all developed based on the genes of these executed prisoners.

Then, for a cautious and crazy person like Heinrich Mainz, it is very likely that after the final medicine is almost completed, he will capture those human samples that are described as genetic maps one by one. , to conduct experiments on them.

Looking at the names on the list, He Shaozheng frowned slightly.

Indeed, this is a bloody list.

At this moment...he couldn't even imagine what else he had done in the pharmaceutical factory under the name of Heinrich Mainz on the hidden Philippine island experiment and design.

For some reason, He Shaozheng suddenly remembered the way Heinrich Mainz smiled at him and kissed his fingers a long time ago.

"Hey, that island...I want to give it to you."

Maybe……

Because he did not accept the gift of the devil,

So, Heinrich Mainz turned it into... a literal hell.
