Chapter 270: The injection reappears

"Later, we found a computer expert who was able to open the box. The box was locked with a code program that ordinary locksmiths could not open."

"After opening the box and seeing the injections, my father thought it must be something very important, so he didn't dare tell anyone else except Uncle Zhong Yuan."

"Later, a small amount of liquid was squeezed out of one of the injections and sent for testing, but they still couldn't identify the ingredients inside."

"But that person said this thing seems to have surpassed the current level of technology and is very important."

Lin Chen continued, "Later, my father hid the things and never took them out again."

"How did the kidnappers know that you had this box of things at home?" Lu Lin asked.

Lin Chen shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to it at first, and then I asked someone to open the lock, so the news leaked out?"

"But the box wasn't opened at that time, so they probably didn't know what was inside. Later I inquired and found out that those people died after the apocalypse. Logically, no one should know about it, not even Lin Rui."

"Except for you, Mr. Lin and the housekeeper, no one else in your family knows about this?" Yang Qing asked.

"Logically speaking, yes. However, I didn't take it too seriously when I brought the things back. It might have been seen by someone." Lin Chen shook his head.

"So, there might be a traitor in your Lin family behind this kidnapping." Leng Yi suddenly said.

The two brothers were shocked, "How could it be?"

Leng Yi tapped the table with his finger, "How many people are there in your Lin family now?"

"In addition to ten bodyguards, our Lin family has more than a dozen." Lin Rui said.

"Who are they?" Leng Yi asked.

"Me, my father, my brother's family, my second uncle and third uncle's family, and my aunt's children." Lin Chen said.

"Are your aunt's family members also at your house?" Yang Qing was surprised.

"Well, my aunt passed away, and my uncle remarried. The children didn't like their stepmother, and my father was afraid that they would suffer, so he brought them all home." Lin Chen said.

Yang Qing frowned. Mr. Lin was really kind-hearted, but with so many people living together, it was possible that some of them would have ulterior motives for their own benefit.

"Your second uncle and third uncle have never been separated?" Leng Yi asked.

"Actually, they didn't live with us before, but they all helped out at my company. After the apocalypse, their houses collapsed, so my dad asked them to move back."

"What are your second and third uncles like? Have they ever expressed dissatisfaction with the old man?" Yang Qing asked.

Lin Chen and Lin Rui looked at each other. "My father is the eldest son and the heir of the Lin family. Besides, he treats my second and third uncles very well. They shouldn't do that, right?"

"It's hard to say. People's hearts are hidden. Maybe they have always been dissatisfied with the old man, but you just don't know it." Yang Qing shook his head. "How many people know that the old man is going to the provincial capital today?"

"Our whole family, including my second and third uncles, knows about it. After all, this is not a trivial matter," said Lin Chen.

"Since the old man trusts your second and third uncles so much, why does he keep Lin Rui and not let him go with you?" Yang Qing asked.

"This..., now all the affairs of the Lin family are mainly handled by our family, and my second uncle and third uncle only do some odd jobs, so..." Lin Rui frowned, as if he also felt something was wrong.

Although I seem to be in charge of some things, they are actually small things. Can't I let my second uncle and third uncle do it?

Is the old man also wary of them?

"It's not that there must be something wrong with your second uncle and third uncle, but we can't rule out this possibility. What if any one of them accidentally finds out that your family has this injection, and then is tempted by the high price from others, and then betrays the Lin family? It is also possible." Yang Qing said.

Lin Rui gritted his teeth and said, "If I find out who it is, I will tear him into pieces."

"This is just a guess. What if it was an accident in the past..." Lin Chen frowned.

"It's possible, but we can't rule out this possibility. If you want to save the old man, you have to be careful next time." Leng Yi said.

Lin Chen nodded. "When we get back, I'll put everyone under surveillance and confiscate their satellite phones so they can't contact the outside world."

"But this matter is of great importance. Can you two help?" Lin Chen looked at Yang Qing and Leng Yi.

Yang Qing was silent. If this box of things was really the same as the one given by Dr. Zhang, then it might involve overseas forces.

She remembered that Dr. Zhang had said that she and her mentor did not receive experimental funding, but later a wealthy Chinese businessman from the United States sponsored them, so the other party might have known their research results.

At that time, Dr. Zhang said that the box of blue injections was extracted from a meteorite, and this box of green ones might be as well.

But because of different technologies, the results are different.

If we get caught up in this kind of struggle with overseas forces, it will be a serious matter.

The secrets of your own space may be exposed.

Is it really necessary to take risks for this?

"This is a serious matter, we must think it through carefully." Leng Yi spoke, he saw Yang Qing's hesitation.

"Brother Yi, my dad..." Lin Rui was anxious.

Lin Chen raised his hand. "This matter has nothing to do with you. You should give it careful consideration. Miss Yang, Mr. Leng, if you can lend a helping hand, the Lin family will give everything they have to repay you for saving my father."

Yang Qing was a little stunned when he saw Lin Chen speaking so seriously, but this matter was really not that simple.

If the kidnappers only wanted some food and gold, it would be fine, but they insisted on asking for these things. The food and other things should be used to deceive people.

They had no idea that the situation was far more serious than they imagined.

"Give us one night to think about it." Yang Qing said seriously.

"But my dad can't wait any longer..." Lin Rui couldn't help but say.

Yang Qing's face darkened. "Why, if we weren't here, you wouldn't save the old man?"

"I...that's not what I meant." Lin Rui said weakly.

"Besides, we are not sure that we can save the old man. Second Young Master knows how dangerous this matter is. If we lose our lives because of this, can you resurrect us?" Yang Qing looked at him coldly.

"We have enough food and clothing, and we have everything we need. Why should we take this risk?"

Lin Rui's face flushed. Indeed, the old man's affairs had nothing to do with them, and there was no need for them to get involved.

"If you agree, I will give you the biggest helicopter in my house." Lin Rui said gritting his teeth.

"We don't lack it!" Leng Yi glanced at him indifferently.

Lin Rui and Lin Chen were shocked. No wonder they refused it when they were told they would give it to them last time. It turned out that they already had it.

"This time it's different. It's a large machine that can accommodate more than a dozen people. I know you have some friends. In case of another disaster, you can bring your friends with you..." Lin Rui said.

Li Shengnan and the others came on New Year's Day, so Lin Rui naturally knew about it. He was watching through a telescope when the gunfight broke out.

Yang Qing paused. Indeed, the helicopter in the space now was a four-seater one, so it was no problem for her, Leng Yi and Lu Lin to escape together with Hai Xiao before.

But if such a serious disaster happens again, would I abandon my friends and run away alone?
