Chapter 224 Will Not Become His Weakness

Yun Zheng followed Andy through the corridor. Behind the transparent and super soundproof tempered glass walls on both sides were shocking experimental scenes.

In the laboratory on the left, several researchers in protective suits were surrounding a precision instrument, and the light blue liquid in the culture dish suddenly burst into dazzling fluorescence.

"This is our gene expression regulation project." Andy pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes slightly curved behind the lenses. "We activate dormant DNA fragments through light wave stimulation."

Andy stopped and turned around, a gentle yet persuasive smile flashing through his gold-rimmed glasses. "Ms. Yun, it's our honor to have you join ANT."

When Yun Zheng contacted them, she just said she wanted to take a look first, but did not explicitly say whether she wanted to join their team.

She curled her lips slightly, said nothing, and turned her gaze to the laboratory on her right.

Biological tissue with the luster of mother-of-pearl floats in the huge transparent cabin, shrinking and contracting according to the laws of electric current.

Andy followed Yun Zheng's gaze and said, "The artificial myocardium has been able to beat autonomously for three hundred days."

"Ms. Yun, here you can access technology that will truly change the future of humanity."

The air was filled with a mixed smell of ozone and biota.

Yun Zheng felt a slight electric current in her earrings, and she knew that Fu Linghe was starting to worry, but she had no way to pass on the message to him.

"It's a completely free academic environment." Andy leaned slightly, his eyes gleaming eagerly behind his glasses. "ANT is not interfered with by any force. You can research any field."

On the silver-gray metal door at the end of the corridor, the blue light of the biometric reader flickered.

He stopped and turned to face Yun Zheng. "With Miss Yun's talent, ANT can provide you with unlimited possibilities. We welcome you to join our team."

Yun Zheng's hand accidentally clutched the corner of her white coat, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Of course she knew what the ANT Research Institute was like, but she didn't want to become Fu Linghe's weak spot.

Yun Zheng knew that joining their team was equivalent to becoming a chess piece used by the Mohist school to balance Fu Linghe.

She wanted to join them, but didn't want to be a burden to Fu Linghe.

If she had not met Fu Linghe, she might have joined without hesitation, but now she is not so calm.

"Mr. Andy, I'll think about it again." Yun Zheng's tone was gentle but firm.

"Of course." Andy nodded, his voice still gentle and humble. "We are always looking forward to Miss Yun joining us."

After saying that, the two continued walking forward.

There was a tightly closed door not far away, and Andy stopped before reaching the door.

"Ms. Yun, the research institute's core research project is located in front of you. It's not open to the public. Only specially appointed researchers can enter. If you join us, this will be your laboratory."

Andy looked into Yun Zheng's eyes and continued, "But you haven't made up your mind yet, Miss. Please move to the living room and we can talk slowly."

He turned slightly sideways and made a 'please' gesture to Yun Zheng, and the two of them left the laboratory together.

Yun Zheng went to the locker room to change her clothes, took out her cell phone to send a message to Fu Linghe to let him know she was safe, and then went to the living room with Andy.

Andy never stopped talking along the way, and kept telling Yun Zheng the benefits of joining ANT.

Yun Zheng chatted with him in a random manner.

She lowered her head to adjust her cuffs, and suddenly felt an extremely oppressive gaze.

She subconsciously looked up and saw a tall and slender figure walking towards her.

The man was wearing a well-ironed dark-patterned suit, and his tie pin shone coldly under the ceiling light in the corridor. Like Fu Linghe, he exuded the unique aura of a superior.

He was followed by two assistants, but the moment he saw Yun Zheng, he raised his hand to signal them to stop.

"Mr. Mo." Andy immediately took a half step back, his voice adding a touch of respect.

Mo Shi'an nodded, his cold face showing no extra emotions, but when he saw Yun Zheng's face behind him, his expression paused slightly.

But after just a moment, he immediately regained his stern expression and said, "Who is this?"

"This is Ms. Yun Zhengyun, a specially appointed researcher at the research institute," Andy quickly introduced. "Ms. Yun has made groundbreaking research achievements in genetic engineering."

Mo Shi'an's gaze fell on Yun Zheng's face, and a hint of imperceptible inquiry flashed in his deep eyes.

He nodded slightly, his voice low and cold, "Hello, Miss Yun."

Yun Zheng raised her eyes and looked at him, her fingertips tightening unconsciously.

She had heard Fu Linghe mention Mo Shian before, and she only knew that he was not someone to be trifled with. But now, in close contact with him, she felt the oppressive force that could not be ignored.

"Mr. Mo." She responded calmly, her tone calm, yet concealing a subtle hint of vigilance.

Mo Shi'an didn't seem to mind her alienation. He just turned his head slightly and said to Andy, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to Miss Yun."

Andy was stunned for a moment, then nodded respectfully, "Okay, Mr. Mo."

For a moment, Yun Zheng and Mo Shian were the only ones left in the corridor, and the air seemed stagnant.

Mo Shian's gaze fell on her face again, and he suddenly asked, "Miss Yun, have we met somewhere before?"

Yun Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but she remained expressionless. "Boss Mo, you're joking. This must be the first time we've met."

Mo Shi'an's lips curled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Really? But you give me a very familiar feeling."

He just stared at her for a few seconds, not waiting for her answer, and continued, "Andy should have introduced you to ANT, but I still want to personally invite you to join."

He leaned forward slightly, his voice low and firm, "Here, you'll have the best resources, the most flexible environment, and you can devote yourself to scientific research."

Yun Zheng curled her lips slightly, her tone polite yet distant, "I appreciate Mr. Mo's kindness, but I cannot join the ANT team for personal reasons. Please forgive me."

Mo Shi'an's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if trying to catch something from her expression.

But Yun Zheng looked calm and there was no sign of any flaws.

He chuckled softly, his voice low and magnetic. "It's okay. Scientific research collaboration depends on fate. I won't force it."

He paused, his eyes deep, "However, the door of ANT is always open to you. Miss Yun can change her mind at any time."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your understanding."

Mo Shi'an said nothing more, but took out a gold-stamped business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to her, "If Miss Yun needs anything in the future, you can contact me directly."

Yun Zheng lowered her eyes to glance at it, but didn't reach out to take it. She just smiled faintly, "Mr. Mo, you're too polite. I don't think I'll be able to use it."

Mo Shi'an was not annoyed. He held the business card between his slender fingers, flipped it over gently, and put it into her suit pocket.

The movements are natural, yet with an irresistible force.

"Life is unpredictable, it never hurts to keep it." He curled his lips slightly, but his eyes were cold.

Yun Zheng's fingertips curled slightly, but her face remained calm.

She didn't refuse anymore, but nodded politely, "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Looking forward to seeing you next time." Mo Shi'an watched her leave, his voice soft but like a firm prophecy.

Yun Zheng turned and walked towards the reception room, her back straight and her steps steady. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she turned the corner of the corridor.

She reached into her pocket and took out the business card. The gold-stamped edge shone coldly under the light.

She stared at the name on it for two seconds, then tore it in half without hesitation and threw it into the trash can beside her.

She would not leave herself any chance to become Fu Linghe's weakness.
