Chapter 1363 The most intimidating punch is the one that is not thrown
In a restaurant called "North Star" in Murmansk, Xiao Peng was feasting.
"Old Chen, why did you come just now?" Xiao Peng mumbled as he ate. "I've been eating so much lately! Damn, this caviar is so disgusting! How can it be so expensive?"
Murmansk is most famous for its 'Four Poles': polar night, aurora, polar air and extremely expensive caviar.
Murmansk caviar is renowned in Europe, served in exquisite silver cups in high-end European restaurants. It's eaten with a silver or high-end porcelain spoon, a little at a time, placed between the palm of your hand and licked. It seems that's the "correct way" to eat it.
Xiao Peng and his team used the "authentic Russian way of eating caviar": a stainless steel basin filled with caviar was placed in front of them, and they ate it directly with a spoon. It did have a strong fishy smell, but it was very satisfying and it was a great accompaniment to alcohol.
Chen Zetao said, "Do you know what I've been doing recently? It's great that I can come here!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked curiously, "What have you been doing recently?"
Chen Zetao said, "What else can I do? How can such a delicate job be done without our cooperation? Such an experimental opportunity cannot be missed."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "We are really being treated as guinea pigs."
Chen Zetao said, "Yes. But you little guinea pigs aren't that cute. Oh, and the autopsy report on Sun Changyou is out. It was suicide by chloride. We've been preparing for this for a long time!"
Sun Changyou is the name of Doctor Sun.
Xiao Peng frowned and asked, "Why on earth did he do this?"
Chen Zetao said, "We're still investigating, but this matter is puzzling. Sun Changyou has always behaved very well and hasn't done anything drastic. This month's investigation revealed no unidentified funds flowing into his account, nor has he had any contact with any unknown individuals. We have no idea how he obtained this new type of anthrax. Everything is under investigation. Of course, the biggest suspect right now is definitely the Americans. This type of triggered biological weapons technology is unprecedented, and developing it certainly requires extraordinary means."
Xiao Peng was even more confused. "I just don't understand. If this technology is so advanced, why would they use it on me? I'm just an ordinary billionaire."
Chen Zetao shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, you underestimate yourself. Ever since you became famous in Europe, even though it may seem like nothing has changed, our cooperation has actually reached a new level. This cooperation encompasses all aspects. In particular, your display of friendship this time by paying the price to help the Dutch search for the Barents merchant ship has truly moved Europe."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "These Europeans are the same. At the beginning, they sent helicopters to follow my whereabouts, but they couldn't persist for a month."
Chen Zetao asked, "How can they persist? How much does each flight cost? They don't have that much money! Weren't there a lot of ships following you at the beginning? Didn't these disappear later?"
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "We'll have to keep filming for at least a year or two! It's a good thing they disappeared, otherwise they might have been quarantined by now. How are the sick people doing?"
Chen Zetao said: "They are all alive and well, and there are basically no sequelae. The one who suffered the most was Anna Hooker."
"Huh? What happened to her?" Xiao Peng asked quickly after hearing this.
Chen Zetao explained, "White people have thin skin. She developed blisters and ulcers on her shoulders, chest, hands, and feet, and now she has scars. Scars like this aren't a big deal for us men, but for a girl, they're life-threatening!"
Xiao Peng was slightly stunned after hearing this, but then he laughed: "No matter what, as long as my life is saved, it's good."
Chen Zetao asked: "How do you plan to solve this problem now?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Peng looked at Chen Zetao: "Brother Chen, what do you mean?"
Chen Zetao said, "I suggest... don't make it public!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng stood up anxiously and asked, "Why? They're planning to kill me, and I can't speak out?"
Chen Zetao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me."
Xiao Peng sat down, lit a cigarette and looked at Chen Zetao.
Chen Zetao said, "You're being targeted now, right? And they're using this method against you. I can tell you responsibly that if Sun Changyou hadn't left behind the antidote and trigger when he died, at least half of the patients on your ship would have died, or even more! And now you're returning unscathed. Those who attacked you must be hesitant because they don't know what you know. A fist is always most intimidating before it's thrown, isn't it? You have no evidence of what's happening now, and your accusations will only make people know your true colors."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Can we just let this matter go?"
"Of course not!" Chen Zetao said, "Brother Xiao, I still say the same thing. You are much more important than you think. We will mobilize everyone to investigate this matter. After all, this matter is too strange - even if the Americans want to deal with you, they shouldn't use such methods. Moreover, this matter is done very dirty. This is an act of destroying the reputation of the country. Is it targeting you or our country? So no matter what, this matter must be investigated to the end. In addition, you don't have to worry about Russia. Not to mention that your old friend Ivan is coordinating in the middle, if this conspiracy really succeeds, Russia will also be a victim. To put it simply, whether this conspiracy is aimed at you alone or at two countries still needs to be investigated, so the Russian side will not give up. What you need to do now is to protect yourself, and leave the rest to us to investigate. Just trust us."
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chen, to be honest, if they were to come at me openly, I wouldn't be afraid. But these dirty tricks really scare me!"
Chen Zetao nodded and said, "I understand, but it's not something you can just avoid. By the way, the Russians admire you so much. They say you smoke and drink, but you're incredibly healthy. How do you do it?"
Xiao Peng coughed twice and changed the subject: "Of course, I'm exercising, exercising, and exercising again. Um... I can't contact anyone in this isolation unit. Any news?"
"News?" Chen Zetao thought for a moment and said, "You mean your friends? That's nothing special. Pascal is busy giving lectures at various museums all day long; Fabian is working closely with the German Tri-State Alliance. Oh, and your friend King William is now on a visit to South America. Any other questions?"
