When Lu Yuan heard their words, he was immediately shocked.

Just two months ago, Ma Bin went to the sweatshop because of Lu Yuan's situation, and he hasn't returned yet.

So Lu Yuan quickly asked, "That's not right, why would they disband when everything was fine?"

Wang Qin shrugged: "I'm not too sure about the specifics. It seems like the middle management in the urban area requires the factories to shut down. We're just the workers here, who knows?"

"What about the people who went there before? Haven't they come back yet?"

"I don't know, it should be according to the requirements above. By the way, what's your friend's name? I can try to find out for you!"

Lu Yuan shook his head and declined Wang Qin's offer. He didn't want to reveal too much about himself, mainly because he wasn't very familiar with Wang Qin yet, and Lu Yuan also thought that the other party was just being polite.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, please feel free to contact me if you need any help. I will do my best to assist you."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and then the three of them continued eating and chatting.

Seeing all the stuff in the car, Lu Yuan glanced at the time and realized it was almost time to go back.

After saying goodbye to Feng Yuanzheng and the other man, Lu Yuan checked the condition of the vehicle and drove it back to the industrial zone, leaving his own car behind.

Back in the laboratory in the industrial zone, Lin Tao's face was filled with shock when he saw so much nuclear waste.

"President Lu, this is far too much. We don't need this much nuclear waste at all."

"Oh, then keep it for now. Take good care of it and make sure it's not leaked, otherwise it could cause a lot of trouble."

Lin Tao nodded, then led his men to put on radiation protection suits and began moving the highly radioactive nuclear waste.

However, when Lin Tao opened a lead bucket, he found some markings inside that did not belong to a nuclear power plant.

"Huh? Something doesn't seem right. This doesn't look like waste material from a nuclear power plant!"

Then Lin Tao and his men began to inspect these items again. After some careful observation, Lin Tao finally discovered that the letter markings on these bottles and jars were actually marks left over from the sweatshop.

Lin Tao then quickly reported the matter to Lu Yuan.

"President Lu, something seems off about this nuclear waste. Judging from the markings, it seems to have been transported from a sweatshop!"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "I know about this, because the people in the sweatshops are specifically responsible for handling nuclear waste. They have to package these things while enduring the strongest radiation!"

Then Lu Yuan looked at Lin Tao and asked, "What's wrong? You seem a bit off."

Lin Tao stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then picked up his phone and looked at the photos on it. After a long silence, he suddenly stood up and exclaimed.

"No, that's impossible! Although sweatshops do process nuclear waste, these packages clearly didn't come from sweatshops. I suspect these things are catalysts used in chemical and biological research!"

"What? You're saying this is a catalyst for chemical and biological research?"

“That’s right. These things are packaged at a very high standard. Although I’m still a little uncertain, Mr. Lu, you should be familiar with the conditions at sweatshops. I’ve met workers from sweatshops before, and without exception, they all suffered from various health problems due to long-term exposure to radiation. But this nuclear waste is much stronger than what’s found in sweatshops; it’s reached military grade!”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shudder. He hadn't expected Wang Qin to lie to him. He had almost believed him, but then he thought that this matter involved some secrets of their Wanwu Company, so it was reasonable for the other party to keep it from him.

"Could this be related to Wanwu Company? Are they plotting some big conspiracy?"

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lin Tao pondered for a while before saying, "That's very possible, but we can't rule out the possibility that Wanwu Company did this under the instigation of certain forces!"

"Could it be a mutant organization? They have considerable power; controlling the Everything Corporation shouldn't be a problem for them!"

Lin Tao nodded silently, then looked at the pile of files in his hand before speaking, "President Lu, do we need to conduct some investigation into this matter?"

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "You don't need to bother with this matter. I'll go and find out the truth! You should focus on getting these potions out as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll get back to work now!"

After Lin Tao finished speaking, he put down all the files and returned to the laboratory, while Lu Yuan, holding the pile of files in his hand, fell into deep thought.

Having just been to the nuclear power plant, I have a feeling that there's some kind of conspiracy there, especially since Fatty Feng was so eager to help me bring the things back, but wouldn't let me choose them myself, which means they definitely have something to hide.

After pondering for a while, Lu Yuan decided to go to the nuclear power plant again to find out what was going on and to inquire about Ma Bin.

Since the car was left at the nuclear power plant, Feng Yuanzheng said he would ask someone to return it, so Lu Yuan had a reason to go see him again this time and wouldn't arouse the other party's suspicion.
