Chapter 62 No People, Only Gold (10) Adopted Son
"Oh my, it sounds like Qian Hao is jealous and wants to be richer than Xu Wei," said the pastor.
Gao Mengtang read the Monster Book many times, squatted in front of Qian Hao and asked, "Teacher Qian, how did you and Xu Wei know each other?"
After a few seconds of silence, Qian Hao replied, "I met him at a drinking table. We couldn't get funding for our lab, so we wanted to find a big boss to invest. That's how I met Xu Wei."
"Has he ever said anything inappropriate at the dinner table?"
"No," Qian Hao paused, and added, "He did say that he was a poor student who couldn't even get into an undergraduate program, but he didn't expect that he could help a university professor like me. Can I meet Xu Wei?"
Gao Mengtang asked: "Do you want to see Xu Wei so much?"
"Ah..." Qian Hao sighed and was about to cry again, "His son suffered because of me!"
"What about your children? How are they?" Gao Mengtang suddenly asked.
Qian Hao was stunned. He didn't expect Gao Mengtang to ask this question. He said angrily, "No comment."
System: "The Monster Book has been updated.", an emotional male voice automatically recites in my ear.
[Unfortunately, this is a wrong path arranged by an invisible hand!]
[While developing the crystal pump, he discovered belatedly that his son had become addicted to gambling and had a huge gambling debt overseas. The gang members wanted to chop off his hands and feet and dig out his organs!]
[He was a university professor with nothing to lose. He couldn’t pay off the debt of 50 million. He needed money urgently. A lot of money.]
[When he was at his wits' end, he thought of Xu Wei, who had helped him before, so he prepared a generous gift and went to visit him.]
[That day, he sat in a taxi on his way home, crying all the way.]
[Xu Wei was unable to lend a helping hand.]
[At this moment, he realized that money is not everything, but it is the foundation of a person's dignity.]
[He needs money, lots of money. More than 50 million.]
Gao Mengtang pondered for a moment, patted Qian Hao on the shoulder, and stood up to leave.
"So, who do you think is behind this?" Duan Song followed and helped him out of the warehouse.
Gao Mengtang shook his head: "It's hard to say."
In reality, Crystal Pump added addictive substances to increase profits, accidentally creating a zombie virus. Qian Hao was sentenced to death for poisoning, and he was the direct beneficiary of the poisoning. He also has a son who owes a huge gambling debt and is about to be dug up by the underworld to sell his organs for money.
In the Monster Book, Qian Hao asked Xu Wei for money but failed to get it and left crying. You can imagine how sad he was. Qian Hao is highly suspected.
Qian Hao's crystal pump is a competitor of Blue Needle. If it continues to develop rapidly, it will threaten the interests of Blue Needle Corporation. Xu Wei is also a suspect. But Xu Wei's only child was also infected with the zombie virus.
"The Black Society..." Duan Song seemed to be thinking, "Aren't the men in black in the park members of the Black Society?"
Gao Mengtang walked slowly: "Do you suspect that the people from the Black Society were brought in by Qian Hao?"
"Eliminate the evidence." Duan Song said.
During the conversation, they returned to the R&D area. Continuous absences were not good, so Gao Mengtang went into the laboratory to take a look.
Gao Geng was doing experiments inside. These days, with his genius scientific research ability, he had gained the acceptance of the researchers and they were getting along very well.
Surprisingly, there was someone sitting outside the laboratory crying, and it was Xu Wei.
When filming the documentary, he was very restrained in his emotions. When he was away from the camera and the interviewer, his torrent of grief could no longer be contained and he cried until he was out of breath. He didn't even notice Gao Mengtang and Duan Song walked in.
When he finished crying, he took out a tissue to wipe his tears, but the whole pack of tissues was used up. He turned around and saw the two of them.
Xu Wei's expression suddenly became serious: "When did you come?"
"I came early," Duan Song said, "and saw you crying the whole time."
Xu Wei's expression became even uglier: "Forget it."
...still quite a burden.
After being in power for so long, the mask of majesty and solemnity has penetrated into his skin. In just half a minute, Xu Wei was completely different from the crying father.
He straightened his suit, leaned back in his chair, and raised his chin towards the two of them: "Who are you?"
They told Xu Wei the identity of "Zhongzhou Special Researcher" given in the background story. After listening, Xu Wei asked in a deep voice: "The researcher is not in the laboratory?"
Gao Mengtang also leaned back in his chair. "They are doing repetitive experiments that do not require any technical skills. I don't need to do it myself." He pointed at Gao Geng. "That's my assistant. He does odd jobs for me."
After listening, Xu Wei's attitude became more friendly. He could see that Gao Geng was very capable and was actually the assistant of the handsome young man in front of him.
"Where are you working, little brother?" Xu Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang made up a top-level scientific research center: "Zhongzhou Academy of Sciences."
When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.
"My little brother looks like Pan An, and he has real talent and knowledge. I admire you." Xu Wei said, tears welling up in his eyes again, "My good-for-nothing son..."
Gao Mengtang quietly ate an eye-protecting blueberry and observed Xu Wei's every move closely.
"He is uneducated and unskilled. He is like me. My wife passed away early and I never remarried." Recalling the past, Xu Wei was immersed in grief again. "I just wanted to spend the rest of my life with my child. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!"
It seemed a little unreasonable to confide family affairs to a young man whom he had only met once, but Duan Song attributed it to the "mysterious charm of the senior."
"I love her deeply and want our son to be a great man. But Xu Xiaoting is a hopeless case. Now, I just hope he can live well. When I see his face, I can still remember the happy times I spent with Xiaoting."
Xu Xiaoting is obviously Xu Wei's son. "Xiaoting" should be the nickname of Xu Wei's lover.
Unexpectedly, this pretentious big boss is actually a romantic man.
"Xiao Ting is kind and beautiful. In my imagination, our child should be a handsome man like you, little brother." Xu Wei grabbed Gao Mengtang's arm very hard. Tears welled up again and dripped onto the back of his hand. "Little brother, what is your name?"
Gao Mengtang gave a fake name: "Mu Huan."
Xu Wei held on tighter and wiped away the tears on his face with the sleeve of his suit: "Huanhuan, I feel close to you the moment I see you. I wish you were my own son."
Huanhuan. Sounds like a dog.
Gao Mengtang regretted giving himself such a pseudonym.
The grip on the arm was strong. It seemed that the chairman found time to keep fit despite his busy schedule.
"Huanhuan, are your parents in good health?" Xu Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang: "They are gone."
Xu Wei was stunned for a few seconds, then slowly loosened his hand and said, "My condolences." For several minutes, neither party spoke.
It was Xu Wei who broke the silence. He dissolved a tube of blue needle into the iced sparkling water and handed it to Gao Mengtang: "Huanhuan, if you don't mind, you can recognize me as your godfather. My son... I also know that he can't be saved."
Gao Mengtang took the sparkling water with the blue needle dissolved in it and took a sip tentatively. It was very choking. His body, which had been on a light diet for more than 20 years, could not withstand this stimulation and he started coughing violently.
Xu Wei quickly stood up and patted him on the back. The thick, strong and warm palm reminded Gao Mengtang of his father for a moment.
It doesn't seem to be a big deal to have a foster father. Besides, Xu Wei is a key figure in this copy. Getting closer to him will help you pass it.
Gao Mengtang patted Xu Wei's arm with his thin and slender hand. He stopped coughing, raised his face and smiled: "Godfather."
When he didn't make any expression, he was already as beautiful as Narcissus, and when he smiled, he was even more stunning. Xu Wei was in a trance for a few seconds, then smiled stiffly: "Huanhuan, Huanhuan."
Don’t shout “Huanhuan” and “Huanhuan” anymore, it’s quite a spoiler.
In the laboratory, another zombie was brought in, and the antidote was injected into the vein. The zombie struggled between the ropes like a dehydrated fish. This scene seemed to remind Xu Wei of his son. He patted Gao Mengtang on the shoulder and said, "Godfather, I'll come to see you at another time. I'm... today."
Thousands of words turned into a sigh. Before leaving, Xu Wei took a pack of tissues and hid in some corner to continue crying.
"Senior Huanhuan, after the dungeon, did you get to know Chairman Xu?" Duan Song joked, "He's a billionaire."
Gao Mengtang: "Shut up."
He had just observed carefully for a while, and Xu Wei's tears did not seem fake. Moreover, Xu Wei had been crying before they came in, but when he saw the two of them, he stopped crying and put on the airs of a big boss.
Duan Song asked: "Can you dispel Xu Wei's suspicion?"
After thinking for a moment, Gao Mengtang just said, "Let's wait and see." He stood up and walked to the laboratory and stood beside his brother.
"Is there any hope of developing an antidote?"
Gao Geng's eyes lingered on Gao Mengtang's arm for a moment, where there was a red handprint left by Xu Wei. He couldn't help but use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to disinfect the handprint.
"If all goes well, the first generation antidote can be developed in a week," Gao Geng replied.
It is now the 5th day in the game, and a week later, it will be the 12th day in the game.
On that day, Gao Mengtang received "good news" from the construction workers before waiting for his adoptive father's invitation.
At night, an unmarked black car stopped at the gate of Ritian Industrial Zone, and more than a dozen armed Zhongzhou agents escorted a man out of the car.
At the end of the working day, the men in black and the researchers were walking in the square. When they saw the man being escorted in, they talked about it: "Isn't that justice?"
"When the zombie virus broke out, he used his position as the second-in-command of the industrial park to sneak out. It is unknown whether he took the virus with him. He was reported by the construction workers who escaped and was arrested again."
"What a lack of public morality!"
Players also came to watch this scene. As soon as Shi Zhengyi entered the park, the system prompt sounded: "Special NPC [Shi Zhengyi] has appeared."
"NPC [Justice] Trait: Golden Body."
"Shi Zhengyi will not be harmed by any skills of the player."
Wei Wei was filling his cigarette, and when he heard this, he said without even looking up, "Trouble."
"What's wrong?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Wei glanced at the NPC that had just appeared and said, "Based on my experience, the golden NPC is hostile to the players."
"More than that, they are very good at stirring up trouble. Have you ever witnessed school violence?"
Golden NPCs are like school bullies who are stupid and bad, and will constantly annoy players. They deserve a beating, and they also play a big role in the plot advancement. The system gives them a [Golden Body] buff to prevent them from being killed by players after five minutes.
As expected, the golden body NPCs showed their excellent ability to stir up trouble as soon as they appeared.
When passing by Gao Mengtang, Shi Zhengyi whistled at him, as frivolously as calling a dog: "Huanhuan! Huanhuan!"
Gao Mengtang took a deep breath and ignored him.
"I'm calling you!" Shi Zhengyi turned around and shouted from afar, "Hush! Huanhuan, my adoptive father's newly recognized son, is it you, Huanhuan?"
Gao Mengtang finally reacted. From what he said, Shi Zhengyi was also Xu Wei's adopted son?
