Chapter 13 Traitor
"I heard, the young master said that he wants to release him." Xu Song repeated what Tao Fengche said just now, but he was really curious, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked him about his mental journey, "But why did the young master suddenly ..."
"It's just a knife held by someone else. If it were you, would you be angry with a weapon without thought?" Tao Fengche asked wearily.
Although Tao Fengche had never been too involved in the secret business of the family, he was the young master of the Tao family who grew up under the influence of what he had heard and seen, and he was not a fool. The results of the investigation were in front of him, and the matter was already very clear.
Ever since he heard that "female betas were once kidnapped", Tao Fengche had smelled a familiar scent, and what happened later made him firmer in his guess—Tao Zhixing's death was inseparably related to the Red Gang.
Although there is no direct evidence to support his speculation, Tao Fengche believes that it is only a matter of time before they are found out.
Unlike the Tao family, which is one of the top three pharmaceutical companies in the country on the surface, and basically only deals in pharmaceuticals behind the scenes, the Red Gang is a gangster gang through and through.If it is placed in a film and television drama, it is a natural villain.
Kyushu is a country with a long history. "Nine" is not an imaginary number. In ancient times, Kyushu was an empire composed of nine states. The system was similar to the enfeoffment system. Each of the nine states was called king, and there was a hereditary emperor on it.In modern times, the feudal autocratic monarchy was changed to a democratic republic federal system, and the nine major states were also changed from "state" to "city". As the head of state, the president of Kyushu was elected.
The Red Gang started from Tao Zhixing's generation, sprang up in Jingpu City, and then used it as a base camp to radiate across the country.Compared with the Tao family, although the Red Gang has not been established for a long time, it started by collecting protection fees and secretly smuggling arms. It can be said that it is doing all kinds of evil.
In recent years, they have set their sights on the Tao family's pharmaceutical production line and the patented technology they hold.
The head of the Red Gang once tried to openly seek cooperation from Dow, but Tao Zhixing flatly refused.Tao Fengche had heard that the other party had been trying to poach people from the Tao family. They were well paid and used both hard and soft tactics. Some low-level personnel chose to defect, but Tao Zhixing dealt with them all.
But they didn't expect the Red Gang to be so ruthless after falling short, and directly found a truck driver to pay for Tao Zhixing's life.And the truck driver didn't know who he killed until his death.
Human beings are mortal, but Tao Zhixing's generation of godfathers neither died of death, nor died of assassination by assassins, but died in such a despicable and indecent way, it is really a bit aggrieved to die.
Being hit and killed by a truck driver driving a heavy truck is simply full of black humor.
"Using the lives of orphans and widows to force a beta man to work his life is too low." Tao Fengche snorted coldly.
Both he and Tao Zhixing, father and son, disdain to be with the Red Gang, but if he is really angry today and let the mother and son blood splatter on the spot, it will be an out-and-out behavior of the Red Gang, violating the life Tao Zhixing entrusted to him way.
Even if it was just to comfort the old man's spirit in heaven, Tao Fengche would never do that.
It's just that he really didn't expect that the truck driver would risk his life in exchange for his son's surgery.From this point of view, that omega's life was actually bought by his father in exchange for his life.
I don't know how the mother and son would feel if they knew about this.
But there is still an unreasonable point... Jingpu has a permanent population of tens of millions, why did the Hong Gang choose this driver alone?
Is there anything special about him?
How did they know the location of Tao Fengche's mother's grave, and how did they know Tao Zhixing's driving route?
Tao Fengche gradually frowned.
The matter returned to the original point again, or in other words, it once again confirmed his initial speculation—someone in the upper echelons had rebelled.
Who eats the inside out, and the seller seeks glory?
In other words, who was blinded by the sky-high greed?
Tao Fengche carefully recalled the behavior of all the guests at the funeral, and the first object of suspicion was Elder Sun.But ever since Tao Zhixing became the Patriarch, he intentionally excluded him from the center of power. Tao Fengche was sure that Old Sun was absolutely ignorant of such secrets, and was just relying on the old to sell the old.
Just based on his reckless performance at the funeral, it would definitely not be him.To put it bluntly, Old Sun's IQ is not enough.
So... who could it be?
He was really not familiar with these secret businesses, and he hadn't made any progress after thinking about it for a long time. Just thinking of starting to investigate the traitors from here, he has already become two big heads.
Before Tao Fengche frowned and thought, Xu Song didn't dare to interrupt his train of thought. Seeing him reach out and rub the center of his brows, he finally said, "If the two people inside are just let go..."
It's just pure fear now, but when I go back, I will slowly recover.Through the content of the interrogation, it is not difficult to deduce part of the truth. If it is put back so hastily, something will happen.
Tao Fengche understood what Xu Song was saying.
He moved the finger that was rubbing the center of the eyebrows down slightly, pinched the root of the mountain, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I remember Director Jing, who just sent a new medicine over a while ago, saying it can stimulate the hippocampus?"
Xu Song nodded: "There is such a thing, because it is still in the experimental stage, so the semi-finished products are delivered now, and they are placed in Mr.'s study."
"Bring it here, each person will be given an injection, and then a psychiatrist will come over, after the anesthetic is administered, throw it back to the original place, and make it clean." He thought for a while and then ordered, "Find a few people to keep an eye on, and act as a helper." Long found two 'volunteers' to do clinical trials."
Jing Ning has a very famous theory: the human body is just a more sophisticated machine.
The brain is a natural information storage device, and the area in charge of memory is the hippocampus.So if drugs are used to stimulate certain nerve cells in the hippocampus, can the memory of the human body be edited and processed?
The research institute has sufficient funds, and the Tao family has always been free from unconstrained ideas of researchers. Jing Ning personally led a group of researchers to study for several years, and finally came up with some results - the potion he handed in now can make people forget For some short-term memories, if a psychologist with superb professional ability cooperates with hypnosis, an artificial memory can even be produced.
But the semi-finished product is still a semi-finished product after all, and the functions in all aspects are not perfect. After the injection, there may be memory confusion for a period of time, or some other sequelae, but it is better than killing people.
Xu Song is a smart person, but he figured out the whole story in a moment, and the smile in his eyes deepened a lot.
Knowing a son is like a father, as my husband said many years ago, the young master is still soft-hearted.That's not necessarily a bad thing, though.Now everything is developing according to the route that Mr. has arranged long ago. As long as everything is safe, the young master can become a technician and remain sincere forever.
"I'll do it right away." He didn't say much, just made a little joke following Tao Fengche's words, "Director Jing will definitely be very happy."
···
But the almighty butler guessed wrong this time, Director Jing Da was not in a very sunny mood at this time.
The Tao Family Research Institute is tightly guarded, but all the staff inside know that the research institute is full of surveillance cameras.But what few people know is that these monitoring can be said to be pervasive, showing only a small part of the security department, the real two terminals, one is in the director's office, and the other is directly connected to the head of the Tao family.
From a week before Tao Zhixing's death, Jing Ning had stopped all the research progress in hand, and locked herself in the office instead.According to the outside world, Director Jing accidentally extracted a special microorganism and was observing its growth; but in fact, he was just watching and monitoring with pain and hatred on his face.
Tao Zhixing is an out-and-out technology madman. For him, wasting the time he should have been doing research on such meaningless things is simply torture, but this matter really cannot be manipulated by others. So Jing Ning did it unwillingly, but fortunately, this work can almost come to an end now.
Jing Ning opened the notebook she carried with her, turned a few pages from the back to the front, found a blank space, wrote down a few names, and drew a circle on one of them.
After finishing all this, he did not close the book, but heaved a long sigh.
Some people on this list really exceeded his expectations, especially the circled name.It was a very young beta, and it was a researcher recruited by Jing Ning himself.
A few years ago, when he first became the director of the institute, he was invited back to his alma mater to give a speech to the graduates.
After the speech, the dean of the school hinted that he would help solve the employment of the students. The Tao Institute has no shortage of people, but if the students are good enough, Jing Ning is also willing to do such a favor, but he will see the list given by the dean. After reading it again, I looked through the papers of the students again, but I was not very satisfied.
The director also wanted to ask him to have a chat when he had a meal, but he waved his hand and refused, saying that the tutor asked him to have a meal, and the other party let him go.
Unexpectedly, the instructor made an appointment to eat in the cafeteria.
Both the master and the apprentice are not chatty characters. They sat silently eating together, but the instructor suddenly said, "There is a student in this class who always reminds me of you."
"Is it a grade?" Jing Ning asked back.
He is a proud and arrogant person, but he does have this capital.When Jing Ning was studying at this school, she received a national scholarship for four years. Her grades were close to full marks in all subjects, and she graduated with all honors. She is still a legend in the school and lives in the hearts of her juniors as a god of learning.
Many students even worshiped his photo before the exam, begging him to bless them from failing the exam.
"It's a little worse than you, but it's not much worse." The instructor thought for a while and added, "And it's still a beta."
Jing Ning was a little surprised: "Do you have his transcript? Show me."
The tutor took out his mobile phone to operate a few times, and attached the other party's thesis by the way.
Jing Ning looked at it, and his eyes lit up: "Where is the other person?"
The instructor pointed to the stall behind him: "It's in the cafeteria, where he works as a part-time student."
This time, Jing Ning was really shocked.
He himself was born in a wealthy family, so he can devote himself to scientific research without any scruples, but the other party has to think about how to make a living after studying, and he can still achieve such results...
Jing Ning even felt that, given time, the other party's achievements might surpass her own.
The Tao family's research institute is full of talents, but this is the only researcher who was personally interviewed by Jing Ning himself, and he even considered whether to accept him as an apprentice.
But now...
He was silent for a long time, finally sighed, took out the mobile phone at hand, and dialed a certain number.
"Hello? I found it here."
"It's just a knife held by someone else. If it were you, would you be angry with a weapon without thought?" Tao Fengche asked wearily.
