"What do those people eat?"
In a hidden room, several senior shareholders of Chengguang gathered together, and everyone looked grim.
A man kept pacing, no longer as calm as he was at the beginning: "We have alerted the enemy this time. It will be almost impossible for us to take action against Wei Lan again! What went wrong?!"
The person in charge of planning this action was a bald man with a gloomy temperament. He also looked grim at this moment, and kept scratching the few hairs on his head.
"I didn't expect this to happen. We entered Wei's company disguised as deliverymen and investigated Wei Lan's daily routine. There was nothing wrong with it. Even if we didn't see her in person, we could be sure that she was in the director's office..."
"What happened?" Another shareholder who seemed to be at odds with the bald man laughed at what he said, "She wasn't even in there!"
"What can I do about this?!" The bald man stared at the other shareholders and said, "I'll show you the surveillance footage sent back by the technical department."
As he spoke, he turned on the projector on one side and projected a video with his mobile phone.
This is a video footage obtained by Chengguang's hacker team after breaking into Wei's corridor surveillance.
"It is confirmed that Wei Lan was in the director's office during this period of time. The actors who came to audition can prove this. It is impossible for someone else to do this. From this point in time, there are only two exits. During this period of time, no woman who could be Wei Lan has left the studio."
Everyone watched the accelerated surveillance video. What the bald man said was right. Even if only a part of the video was hacked, the video continued until Lin Jinghui and others cut off the power. During this time, there was no sign of the young woman leaving in the video.
After watching the video, no one else had anything to say.
One person couldn't help but ask: "Is there any other exit?"
"No." The bald man shook his head. "When Lin Er and his team went in, they only tied up a child of three or four years old. They sent me a video, and it was indeed a child who was brought out to play by an adult. They must have entered the director's room, and they didn't fake it."
"So Wei Lan just left without anyone noticing? Can she fly?"
"It's really strange. She has never appeared in the media. If you say so, I doubt whether there is such a person as Wei Lan in the world..."
"Or is she actually a man? Using a voice changer?"
A bunch of people were discussing at once, and suddenly someone said, "Then... is it possible that the child is Wei Lan?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
After a moment of silence, the bald man laughed: "How is it possible? A three-year-old child made a movie with a total box office of 10 billion?"
"Maybe she is an unusual genius?" someone hesitated. After all, the media has always praised Wei Lan as a genius.
The man at the top was the first to shake his head. "There are many geniuses in the world, and it's not surprising that their IQs are high, but that's called smartness, not intelligence. A three or four-year-old genius can understand mathematics and physics, but it's impossible for him to understand the ways of the world and make a movie about it. Experience requires time to accumulate..."
This makes a lot of sense, and everyone nodded. Experience is something that cannot be increased by IQ.
There was silence again. At this time, Qiao Yu, who had been silent before, suddenly said, "What if she just looks like a child?"
These words struck the shareholders present like lightning.
Shoot out all the impossible answers, and in the end only the seemingly impossible answer remains.
Aren't the researches done in the laboratory all day long related to genes? Chairman Chengguang, who knows the situation of biological laboratories best, suddenly thought of many things.
"Wei Lan, Wei Lan...it's possible that she is really from the Wei family...back then, a potion was used on the Wei family..."
Everyone present knew about the laboratory. The bald man slammed the table and said, "Call the laboratory."
“Beep, beep…”
The video call was connected, revealing the environment on the other side.
It was a very futuristic laboratory, filled with various high-tech analytical instruments that the shareholders present could not recognize.
The person who answered the phone was a woman in her thirties. She looked a little surprised when she saw the shareholders on the other side, but she greeted them in a non-flattering manner: "What can I do for you?"
"Where is Dr. Zhang?" the bald man asked hurriedly.
The woman seemed to be Dr. Zhang's assistant. She said with an unchanged expression, "The doctor is doing research. You can tell me if you have anything to say."
Judging from the assistant's attitude, Chengguang's shareholders were just on the same level as Dr. Zhang, and they did not go to Dr. Zhang just because they heard their request.
After receiving this answer, the bald man was a little angry. He took a breath to calm down. Qiao Yu beside him asked quickly: "We want to know if it is possible to make a person look like a child but actually be an adult?"
After hearing this, the assistant raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course there is. Before our x23 drug was improved, it had a side effect of slowing down people's growth at the genetic level. However, this drug has been used on many test subjects, and they will not live long after using it before their genes collapse."
"Is it possible that a person who looks three or four years old is actually very old, or an adult?"
The assistant frowned, looking at the shareholders who were serious on the other side of the video, thought for a moment, and explained: "It was possible to cause this effect before the improvement of X23, but this medicine must be used in infancy, and the gene chain compatibility is very high. It is not easy to not cause gene collapse directly when the medicine is injected, not to mention growing up. The longest-lived case in our laboratory only lived to ten years old. The probability of this happening is very small, so small that one in ten thousand is one."
"Can you find any more records?" Chairman Chengguang snatched the phone and looked at his assistant. "Nineteen... no, twenty years ago, your x23 call records. We applied to our superiors to implicate our rival company. All I know is that it was your people who did it, and you also tested the new drug you developed at that time."
Chairman Chengguang's words made the assistant realize the seriousness of the matter: "What's going on? What happened to you?"
"We met someone. She might be the person you injected the x23 drug with back then..." Chairman Chengguang did not hide anything and told the female assistant all their suspicions and guesses about Wei Lan.
The more the female assistant listened, the more her expression changed from surprise to excitement. She simply put her phone aside and went somewhere with a few clicks. Then she heard the sound of flipping papers.
The phone was not hung up, and the Chengguang directors could only wait. After more than ten minutes, the female assistant's surprised voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Doctor, Doctor... there is a new discovery!"
A somewhat old voice sounded from further away: "What did you find?"
…
After being handed over to Mrs. Zhu, Wei Lan behaved very well, like a child who had been completely frightened and only knew how to be obedient.
Wei Lan had a quieter temperament than most children, and he looked tired and weak after acting with Ye Jinghui and the others. Although Mrs. Zhu was a little worried that Wei Lan might be frightened, Wei Lan's appearance was so delicate that Mrs. Zhu felt that even if he was a fool, he could be sold at a good price.
If Lin Jinghui had not asked them to sell the child to a place far away from H City, it would have been easy to find a buyer for such a beautiful child.
"Baby, the food is here, come and eat."
There was an empty corner of the waiting hall. There were not many people waiting for the train at this time in the early morning. Their train would arrive in forty minutes. Mrs. Zhu bought a bowl of porridge in a disposable lunch box nearby and gave it to Wei Lan.
Wei Lan did not ask Mrs. Zhu to feed him. He swallowed his saliva obviously, then took the spoon and scooped the porridge.
Mrs. Zhu felt very comfortable seeing that she ate with great skill and manners. It was of course good not to have to feed the child herself, and such a well-behaved child would not cry or make a fuss on the way.
However, even when facing a three or four-year-old child who basically knew nothing, Mrs. Zhu was still very cautious. She put sleeping pills in the bowl of porridge so that Wei Lan would fall asleep after eating it, so as to prevent him from crying and making a fuss on the train and attracting other people's attention.
The ticket check started thirty minutes in advance. The man who was with Mrs. Zhu had already gone to line up. Mrs. Zhu was watching Wei Lan on the side. Seeing that Wei Lan was eating by herself, she took out her mobile phone and watched some short videos. When the broadcast prompted the ticket check to start, she turned around and saw that the porridge in Wei Lan's bowl was almost finished.
"No more eating, let's go."
Seeing that the portion was almost enough, Mrs. Zhu didn't care whether Wei Lan was full or not. She just picked her up, ran to where her accomplices were lining up, and carried Wei Lan in her arms.
"Why is your face all covered with porridge?" Looking up, she saw a little clown face. Mrs. Zhu lovingly wiped Wei Lan's face and did not dislike the sleeves and front of her clothes that were soiled by the porridge.
Sitting on the train, Wei Lan's eyelids could no longer hold up because of the heating inside.
I was already tired, and after drinking Mrs. Zhu's bowl of porridge with added ingredients, I couldn't resist the sleepiness.
But feeling his wet trouser legs and cuffs, Wei Lan gave an instruction to the system before everything in front of his eyes turned completely black.
'Turn on the favorability growth reminder switch.'
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining the favorability of the work Wang Jun, and the points increased by 3 (work radiation).'
…
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining the favorability of the work Xia Rourou, and the points increased by 2 (work radiation).'
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the light was dim in the long-distance train. It was the time when everyone was fast asleep. At this moment, Wei Lan opened his eyes with difficulty.
The system's prompts were always acting on her consciousness. Wei Lan had once turned off the prompt function that radiated increased favorability of this work, because later on, almost every moment new viewers watched one of her movies and increased their favorability. If Wei Lan didn't turn it off, she would not be able to sleep at all.
But at this moment, after being given sleeping pills, Wei Lan turned on this function again, which was equivalent to installing an alarm clock that rings continuously in his brain, just to force himself to wake up.
Her trouser legs and cuffs were still wet and sticky, which was very uncomfortable.
The reason why Wei Lan woke up was not only the constant reminders from the system, but also the bowl of porridge she had before. She didn't dare to drink too much, and secretly poured it into her sleeves and trouser legs, just to prevent Mrs. Zhu from drugging her. At the same time, hunger could make her more sober.
When Wei Lan saw himself looking sleepy and Mrs. Zhu's understanding expression, he knew he had made the right bet.
Wei Lan looked up at Mrs. Zhu who was holding him. She and the man next to them were sleeping soundly in their seats, snoring softly.
All the preparations, including taking the initiative to eat and sleep to dispel the two people's suspicions, were all for this moment!
