252: Chapter 251: Role Reversal 252: Chapter 251: Role Reversal “Of course not!” Liu Hun replied simply and straightforwardly. Captain You suddenly felt like a monkey being played by Liu Hun! Just moments ago, he had been sent to ask Huang Shun, and now, with this sentence, Liu Hun was saying they couldn’t. It was like making a monkey out of him! “Xiao Liu, this matter can’t be taken lightly,” Cai Yilan also felt Liu Hun’s statement was inappropriate and thus reminded him. Liu Hun quickly nodded and said, “Huang Shun is the person involved in this matter and at the center of all doubts. As long as Huang Shun can regain his sanity, I believe the truth of this matter will come to light.” “Mr. Liu, are you telling a story? Can the Hamela virus be cured?” Captain You said, anger rising in his heart. He already felt that Liu Hun was toying with them, and now, listening to him pushing all responsibilities onto an insane person and claiming there was a cure, he felt his intelligence was being insulted. “There’s no cure for the Hamela virus at all! Xiao Yanzhu has been lying all along. Can anyone explain the question I just asked clearly?! Mr. Liu, stop wasting time and explain why Lv Zhengsong would enter the house!” Captain You asked Liu Hun. He didn’t want to be led by the nose by Liu Hun any longer. What if Liu Hun said it would take a month to treat Hamela, should he wait for a month? What about three years? No one present had expected Captain You to explode suddenly, but upon reflecting on his words, they did make sense! It was a matter of a single sentence after all! Why did Liu Hun insist on getting an answer from someone who had lost their reason? Hiding and evading only made Liu Hun appear to be unable to explain himself. Everyone was staring at Liu Hun; none of those present were fools. They knew the Hamela virus couldn’t be cured; if it could have been, Huang Shun would have been treated a long time ago. Cai Yan knew this, and so did Xiao Yanzhu, who had researched Hamela for many years. Both women simultaneously cast worried glances at Liu Hun. And for Cai Yan, she was even more anxious that Liu Hun might disappoint Cai Yilan, which would mean her hopes of marrying Liu Hun were entirely dashed. But what mattered most was Cai Yilan’s opinion, who happened to share the same thoughts. Just as he was about to speak up, Liu Hun beat him to it. “Give me twenty minutes, and I’ll have Huang Shun stand here answering everyone’s questions. To get to the bottom of this matter,” Liu Hun told those present, casting a requesting look towards Cai Yilan. He could fabricate a perfect lie right now, but he could make it up, and Captain You could also choose not to believe it. Without witnesses or evidence, both of them arguing would lead to no winner. Therefore, Liu Hun wanted to slap Captain You’s face thoroughly; he needed a chance to be alone with Huang Shun—to coach his testimony! “Captain You, what do you think?” Cai Yilan was about to speak, but instead, he turned the question over to Captain You, his heart, in fact, siding with Liu Hun. Upon hearing this, Captain You knew Cai Yilan was supporting Liu Hun’s idea. He couldn’t say no, but he also didn’t believe that Liu Hun could cure Huang Shun, so he agreed. Twenty minutes later, at the Yuhua City Police Department, it was still about the same issue, but with one more person present—Huang Shun! When Huang Shun first appeared, Captain You was almost ready to draw his gun, because he thought that Huang Shun would charge at him the next second and bite him like a zombie. However, when Huang Shun stood in the middle of the room, behaving like a normal person, everyone finally relaxed. Huang Shun looked deeply at Liu Hun, remembering that when his sanity had just returned, the first thing he saw was this man’s face, along with the strange sensation he felt and his words: “State the entire course of events exactly as they happened. And in the end, it was you who kept a sliver of sanity and dragged Lv Zhengsong inside, it has nothing to do with me or Professor Xiao. I can cure you, or I can make you revert.” Revert... Thinking about the time when he was neither human nor ghost, like a walking corpse, Huang Shun couldn’t help shivering; he definitely didn’t want to revert to that state again and decided he must be a normal person! “Name! Age! Occupation!” Captain You asked Huang Shun; he needed these questions to determine whether Huang Shun had truly returned to normal. “Huang Shun, thirty-eight years old, professor at the Biological Science Academy of Imperial University,” Huang Shun replied honestly. The people around all nodded; with clear logic and a steady tone, he was a normal person indeed! Captain You hadn’t expected Liu Hun to actually succeed; there was nothing he could do. He had to continue asking, “Professor Huang, can you tell me what exactly happened on the 12th?” Huang Shun pondered deeply for a while, his eyes filled with complex expressions, before he finally nodded and said, “On the 12th... to be precise, it should have been the 11th. Lv Zhengsong asked me to have a long talk at his house. He said he wanted me to cause a disturbance the next day and lure Xiao Yanzhu to the laboratory. He said he bore a grudge against Xiao Yanzhu and wanted to get revenge on her. He promised me, after it was done, he would help me transfer from Imperial University to the Science Academy.” Huang Shun glanced at Xiao Yanzhu and then continued, “The next day, I went to the laboratory with the intention of causing a minor incident that could let Xiao Yanzhu handle it, which would have served Lv Zhengsong’s purpose. But to my surprise, when I got there, I discovered... someone had already sabotaged the laboratory’s cooling system, the Hamela virus had been thawed, and all of the research data on the Hamela virus was gone.” “It wasn’t you who took the data?” Xiao Yanzhu couldn’t help but interrupt; she too had arrived at the laboratory and found that the research data on the Hamela virus, which the team had studied for many years, was missing. She thought it was Huang Shun who had destroyed it. At this moment, Huang Shun was like a plucked wild pheasant, as docile as a quail, and shook his head in an orderly manner, saying, “I didn’t take it, nor did I destroy it. Those things are utterly useless to me. I lost face during the N2 virus mutation experiment and became a laughingstock of the entire university. I just wanted to leave the university. I had no use for those things.” As Huang Shun spoke, he suddenly added, “And I don’t think it was Lv Zhengsong who took them either.” “Why not?” Xiao Yanzhu asked with a frown. She was now very concerned about this virus; if it leaked out, it would really be like a siege of zombies. “Because Lv Zhengsong’s target was you, Professor Xiao, not the virus. He wanted to look at the data, he could have just asked you for it directly. Plus, I arrived at the lab before him, and after he got there, he was even more panicked than me, asking me why I made such a big fuss, shutting down the cooling system,” Huang Shun explained to Xiao Yanzhu slowly and logically. This made Xiao Yanzhu even more panicked, and Cai Yan and her father, as well as Liu Hun, also realized the seriousness of the situation. “Afterwards, that beast Lv Zhengsong realized the virus that leaked was the Hamela, he knew the problem was big. So, he used the pretext of administering a vaccine to me... and instead injected me with the thawed and activated Hamela virus,” said Huang Shun, his eyes filled with deep hatred. He never imagined Lv Zhengsong could be such a beast to the point of extinguishing humanity. “Not long after, I felt something was wrong, and then confronted him. He denied everything, and still wanted to continue using me to lure Professor Xiao here. He wanted to leave the lab and hide outside, waiting for Professor Xiao to come. How could I give him that chance? That’s when we started fighting,” Huang Shun told everyone, recounting the events exactly as they happened. Captain You became increasingly alarmed as he listened, thankful that this affair hadn’t involved him, and then carefully asked, “Since you’ve already been infected with the Hamela virus, who was it that put Lv Zhengsong in your room?” “Me!” Huang Shun immediately answered without hesitation, then glaring at Captain You claimed, “My hatred for that beast Lv Zhengsong allowed me to keep a shred of sanity, so when he neared the door, I broke it down and dragged him in.” So that was it! Cai Yilan nodded, completely believing Huang Shun’s words, and naturally came to fully trust Liu Hun’s explanation as well. With the parties involved having made the situation so clear, Captain You had nothing more to say, but what he hadn’t expected was that Huang Shun suddenly pointed at him and said, “Captain You! When Lv Zhengsong was threatening Professor Xiao, he said his cousin was you, Captain You, that you were the backing and protection allowing him to do whatever he wanted! You were in control of the entire School of Biology, which is why Lv Zhengsong, even in the face of such a critical moment of the Hamela virus leak, still thought about dishonoring Professor Xiao!” Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless; no one had imagined that the domineering and ruthless Captain You, after all the investigation, would end up sending himself to prison. “Huang... Huang Shun! Don’t slander people! Stop talking nonsense! Do you really think I don’t know? Are you just doing this to repay someone’s life-saving favor by conspiring with them to frame me? What makes you think you can say that I’m Lv Zhengsong’s backer and protector? Do you have any evidence?” Captain You shouted hysterically at Huang Shun, as if his tail had been stepped on. Huang Shun pulled out his cellphone and said to Captain You, “This is the phone that Miss Cai just returned to me, and it contains a recording, which I made just in case Lv Zhengsong, that beast, decided to welch on his word.” After speaking, Huang Shun played the recording. “...Huang Shun, you’re notorious throughout the entire university now! That human papillomavirus guy, it’s like he’s gobbling soup!” “Brother! You gotta help me! Stop making those cold remarks. Human papillomavirus can be cured, but how do I cure this reputation? I just want to move somewhere else!” “Agree to the thing I just told you about, and I’ll help you pull some strings, get you transferred to the Science Academy, where no one knows about your mess.” “That... That’s a big deal though, what if something goes wrong? I... I can’t bear it.” “What are you scared of? Who’s making you bear it? Let me tell you, my cousin, Captain You Liguo of the security department. I’ve already talked to him, and in case of any trouble, he’ll seal off the scene first thing. Then, in the entire School of Biology, it’ll be just you, me, and that bitch Xiao Yanzhu. Maybe after I’ve had my fun, you can get your turn...” “...” “Smack!” Cai Yilan slammed her hand on the table and stood up, sharply condemning Captain You, “Scum! Director Cao! Immediately take control of You Liguo and his people! Conduct a thorough investigation on each one of them. We cannot tolerate such corrupt individuals!”
