Chapter 300: Carelessness
Qiao Yu and the other six did not stay in the RV for long. After packing up the samples, they went straight back to Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu's room.
Due to the attacks on the base and research institute, the exchange meeting on the third day could not be held as scheduled.
The originally planned experimental demonstration was also put on hold.
"Do you think they can let us go tomorrow?" Cheng Sinian took Luo Zhenzhen's hand and sat down on the chair, and asked Qiao Yu in a low voice.
Qiao Yu shrugged, "Who knows!"
"But there's no need to worry about that. We're leaving tomorrow regardless of whether they let us go or not."
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and gave Qiao Yu a thumbs up.
Yu Qingchuan, who was standing by, frowned slightly as he listened to their conversation. "I think...something is amiss."
After hearing what Yu Qingchuan said, Qiao Yu also raised his eyebrows slightly, "Qingchuan, did you discover something?"
Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips and whispered, "During the past two days of the exchange meeting, I have been following Professor Kang and Professor Shen, and I found that Dr. Ruan seems to be very interested in Professor Kang and Professor Shen."
Qiao Yu frowned slightly, "Interested? Interested in what way?"
"The most obvious thing is that Dr. Ruan often talks to Professor Kang and Professor Shen."
"It's normal to communicate during the exchange meeting, but when Dr. Ruan approached Professor Kang and Professor Shen, the topic of discussion wasn't about the exchange meeting. Instead, he was deliberately asking about the projects Professor Kang and Professor Shen had previously researched."
"Before?" Qiao Yu keenly grasped the key words.
"Yes." Yu Qingchuan nodded. "It's the project that Professor Kang and Professor Shen were researching before the end of the world."
“That strikes me as very strange.”
"At first, I thought Dr. Ruan was trying to inquire about the research projects at our research institute in a roundabout way."
"But later I discovered that wasn't the case. Dr. Ruan clearly had no interest in our base's research projects. Instead, he kept asking about Professor Kang and Professor Shen's previous projects, even touching on the two professors' private lives."
Qiao Yu frowned even more tightly when he heard this. "Did Professor Kang and Professor Shen reveal anything?"
Yu Qingchuan thought for a moment and said, "Professor Kang and Professor Shen did answer the academic questions."
"Because Dr. Ruan was only asking about the two professors' projects before the apocalypse. Those projects had already been publicly released, so there was nothing to hide. Furthermore, they didn't involve any confidentiality issues at the base research institute."
"But when asked about their private lives, Professor Kang and Professor Shen were reserved."
"He cares so much about Professor Kang and Professor Shen..." Cheng Sinian also frowned, "What on earth does Dr. Ruan want to do?"
"Could it be that... Dr. Ruan also wants to arrest Professor Kang and Professor Shen?"
"But..." Hua Yue, who had been sitting quietly listening, suddenly spoke cautiously: "Didn't Captain Qiao say that the survivor base in City A is the same as Chu Yi, and it is very likely that they both obey the same superior?"
"Then why did Chu Yi take such a risk before reaching the survivor base in City A?"
"Yeah!" Luo Zhenzhen blinked, "Could it be that Chu Yi didn't actually want to take action at that time?"
"No, that's impossible." Qiao Yu thought for a few seconds, then shook his head firmly, "If Chu Yi didn't want to do anything, then there was no need for him to bring us to the vicinity of the Municipal Hospital, nor was there any need to make a fuss about those mercenaries."
"But Yueyue's question is very good. If Chu Yi and Dr. Ruan really take orders from the same person, why do they have to act separately?"
"Could it be an internal conflict?" Cheng Sinian scratched his brow, "For example... fighting for credit?"
Yu Qingchuan nodded, "It is indeed possible."
Qiao Yu didn't say anything, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
But Jiang Zhan, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "There is another possibility."
"Our initial thinking was wrong. Chu Yi and Dr. Ruan might not be taking orders from the same person at all."
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
"Oh no!" Qiao Yu's face changed, "Professor Kang and Professor Shen are in danger!"
If their previous guess was really wrong, then Dr. Ruan and Chu Yi were completely different people.
According to Yu Qingchuan, Dr. Ruan showed great interest in the two professors, so his target is likely the same as Chu Yi's, namely Professor Kang and Professor Shen.
If that's the case... then knowing that they will definitely leave tomorrow, Dr. Ruan is likely to take the initiative!
She was careless...
"Azhan, are Professor Kang and Professor Shen in the room now?" Qiao Yu asked quickly.
Jiang Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head, "Not in the room."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.
"They must have sent people to take Professor Kang and Professor Shen away when we were processing the samples!" Cheng Sinian's face showed a trace of anxiety.
I don't know what's wrong with Old Man Kang, why does everything always happen to him?! It's just one thing after another!
"Don't worry." Qiao Yu pursed her lips, her voice soothing. "I guess they went to such great lengths to capture Professor Kang and Professor Shen because they want them to help with a certain research project."
"So at least for now, Professor Kang and Professor Shen must be safe."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian forced himself to calm down.
Indeed, what Qiao Yu said makes sense.
If you want to conduct in vivo research, there are plenty of suitable candidates like Professor Kang and Professor Shen.
There was really no need for Dr. Ruan to go to such great lengths to apprehend the two professors.
Considering Dr. Ruan's attitude towards Professor Kang and Professor Shen in the past two days, Cheng Sinian also felt that it was more likely that Dr. Ruan would ask Professor Kang and Professor Shen to help him with his research project.
"Okay, Qingchuan, take Yueyue to the research institute and find a reason to see if you can meet Dr. Ruan." Qiao Yu took a deep breath and whispered.
"If Dr. Ruan is still in the institute, then you must find a way to hold him back. If he's not here... then you must find a way to go to the dependent colony again!"
"You've been there before and know the situation. They definitely haven't repaired it yet, but we can't rule out the possibility that they'll imprison Professor Kang and Professor Shen there first. So if you can't see Professor Ruan, find a way to go there again."
"good."
After instructing Yu Qingchuan, Qiao Yu turned to Cheng Sinian and said, "Sinian, you and Zhenzhen go to the base gate and ask around to see if any military vehicles left during the time we were processing the samples. If so, find a way to find out where they went."
"If not, then call Yan Zijin and Xiang Heng and find a way to cause another big commotion in the base!"
"But remember, just like last night, you must not reveal your identity!"
