Chapter 454 Trying to steal my bacterial strain?
The dark figure darted into the cold storage.
The monitoring screen is switched to the database.
On a dozen or so stainless steel shelves, hundreds of silver metal freezer boxes were neatly stacked.
The shadowy figure had clearly done its homework, heading straight for the innermost cabinet labeled "Hunter-9 Mother Liquid".
He took out a miniature flashlight, put it in his mouth, and reached for the red insulated box.
The instant his fingertips touched the box.
puff--!
A pale green mist suddenly shot out from the nozzle at the bottom of the box, instantly filling the entire small space.
The shadowy figure reacted extremely quickly, immediately holding its breath and retreating while grabbing at its gas mask.
"Too late." Su Yue pressed a red button on the control panel.
A piercing alarm sounded over the loudspeaker in the monitoring room.
The emergency lights inside the cold storage room suddenly turned on.
Before the dark figure could open the door, they heard a series of synchronized bolt-pulling sounds coming from outside.
"Don't move! Hands up!"
Zhao Tiezhu's loud voice made the microphone of the monitor crackle.
The shadowy figure froze.
He looked down at his hands.
The black night clothes were now emitting a strange, glaring fluorescent green.
It's not just clothes; everything that comes into contact with the air, even the eyelashes, is glowing.
In the pitch-black night, he was like a giant, sentient light bulb, able to illuminate a two-meter square even when hiding in the sewer.
“A bioluminescent tracer.” Su Yue looked at the “Hulk” on the screen with satisfaction. “I extracted this from a bioluminescent jellyfish in the deep sea. Once you get a little bit on it, you can’t wash it off. It can stay lit for a full seventy-two hours.”
Gu Beichen couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"damage."
“That’s called tactics.” Su Yue jumped off the chair, patted her butt, and said, “Let’s go, Deputy Chief of Staff Gu, let’s close the net.”
At the entrance of Workshop No. 3, soldiers armed with live ammunition were surrounded in layers.
The "Hulk" was already pinned to the ground, his hands tied behind his back, his face pressed against the concrete, still struggling desperately, muttering a string of gibberish.
Zhao Tiezhu was hitting him on the back with the butt of his gun: "Behave yourself! If you move again, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"
The crowd parted, and Su Yue and Gu Beichen walked over.
The man looked up and, by the light of the headlight, stared intently at Su Yue. He had a typical East Asian face, but his high cheekbones gave him a fierce look.
"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!" The man suddenly switched to Chinese, though with a strange accent, "I can't say anything."
Su Yue squatted down in front of him and carefully examined him using the green light emanating from his body.
"The sheen is nice." She reached out and poked the man's face, and he instinctively shrank back. "Kill you? That's no fun. This is a society governed by law."
She took a small, clear glass bottle out of her pocket, which was half-filled with pink liquid.
"Have you caught a cold? I saw you were freezing in the cold storage earlier. Take some medicine to prevent it."
The man kept his mouth tightly shut, his face showing an unyielding spirit.
Gu Beichen gave Zhao Tiezhu a wink.
Without saying a word, Zhao Tiezhu grabbed the man's chin with one hand and shoved the glass bottle into his mouth with the other, tilting his head back and forcing it down his throat.
"Cough cough cough—!"
The man coughed violently, trying to vomit up the medicine, but it melted in his mouth and slid down his throat into his stomach.
"What did you give me to drink? Poison?!" he cried out in terror, trying to choke on his throat.
"You're overthinking it." Su Yue stood up, took the wet wipes Gu Beichen handed her, and wiped her hands. "This is a special cold syrup, but the side effects are a bit strong. After taking it, your mind will be extremely clear, so clear that... you won't be able to control your mouth."
The man's expression changed.
In less than a minute, his pupils began to dilate, and his body, which had been tense, slumped down like a lump of mud.
"Name," Su Yue asked.
“Jack Liu…” The man’s mouth opened and closed uncontrollably, speaking at an extremely fast pace, “His real name is Liu Dawei.”
"Who sent you?"
“Pfizer’s Hong Kong office…and that illegitimate son of the Lin family, Lin Jianguo.”
A collective gasp filled the air.
Zhao Tiezhu's eyes widened: "My goodness, this medicine is amazing! It's even more effective than the whip in our interrogation room!"
Su Yue wasn't surprised. This was a formula she had modified using nerve blockers, which could temporarily cut off the inhibitory function of the prefrontal cortex of the brain, making a person become straight-laced.
How much money did Lin Jianguo give you?
“Five hundred thousand US dollars…and two US passports.” Liu Dawei continued to reveal more, “He said that as long as the bacteria strain is stolen, he’ll kick that old bastard Lin Zhihong out of the game, and he’ll cooperate with the Americans himself…”
They confessed everything.
He even revealed everything about how many mistresses he kept in Hong Kong and where he hid his secret stash of money under the floor tiles.
Gu Beichen waved his hand.
Two soldiers stepped forward and dragged Liu Dawei, who was still babbling on, away like a dead dog.
"Did you record it?" Gu Beichen asked the clerk beside him.
"It's recorded! Not a single word is wrong!" The clerk excitedly waved the recording pen in his hand.
"Make two copies of this recording." Gu Beichen straightened his collar, his voice icy cold. "Send one copy to the Provincial Public Security Bureau, and one... to Lin Zhihong. Let him hear the sound of his own backyard on fire."
Su Yue yawned and swayed slightly.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, the adrenaline has finally subsided, and sleepiness is washing over me like a tidal wave.
Gu Beichen reacted quickly and grabbed her waist.
"Tired?"
"Mmm." Su Yue rested her head on his chest, her voice soft and sweet, completely different from the female demon who had just fed him poison. "My legs are weak, I can't walk."
The surrounding soldiers immediately turned their heads to one side in unison, some looking at the sky, some looking at the ground, but none daring to look at the two in the middle.
Gu Beichen bent down, put one hand under her knees and the other hand on her back, and picked her up in his arms in front of everyone.
"go home."
Su Yue took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck, burying her face in the crook of his neck, her warm breath spraying onto his collarbone.
"Gu Beichen".
"Um?"
Your ears are red.
Gu Beichen stumbled and almost missed a step.
He kept a straight face and didn't say a word, but tightened his grip on her arm and strode towards the parking lot.
The jeep started, its headlights piercing the darkness and casting long shadows of the two men.
Liu Dawei, who was being dragged away, suddenly stopped talking in his sleep.
The effects of the drug hadn't worn off yet, but he seemed to remember something even more terrifying. He desperately turned his head and shouted something at Su Yue's back.
"Don't be too happy yet! I'm just a scout... The real hunters have already landed on the island!"
The sound was shrill and piercing, echoing in the empty factory area like a dying crow cursing.
Gu Beichen slammed on the brakes.
The tires emitted a pungent, burnt smell as they rubbed against the concrete.
