261: Chapter 261: Infiltration 261: Chapter 261: Infiltration The night, the biotech park was in pitch darkness, security personnel were standing all around. Suddenly, five shadows dashed into the corner and swiftly moved towards the main building. “Stop.” The leading man suddenly halted, waving his arm, signaling the four people behind him to crouch down where they were. The next second, a white light swept past in front of them, just meters away from the five. “Everyone be careful, there are many cameras here.” The man took off his mask—it was Ye Shikai, and the four behind him were Tianjing, Jing Xie, Shen Wu, and Phoenix. The five used their Inner Strength, their rapid pace allowing them to move freely under the multitude of cameras. “Shen Wu, Phoenix, Jing Xie, you go to the left production base, find their research data, be careful.” Tianjing spoke to the three behind him. “Yes.” The three nodded, then vanished into the darkness in the blink of an eye. “Let’s go.” Ye Shikai turned back and said to Tianjing. “Alright.” The two headed toward the main building, entering through a window in a third-floor bathroom. They had previously obtained the architectural blueprint of the biotech park and easily infiltrated the building with their Inner Strength. “Beep beep beep.” Suddenly, a loud alarm sounded throughout the park, and dozens of security guards ran towards one side. “What’s happening? They haven’t discovered us, have they?” Tianjing was a bit panicked, not understanding why the alarm had suddenly gone off. “Don’t worry, that was my arrangement.” The corners of Ye Shikai’s mouth slightly lifted, indicating that the plan was proceeding smoothly. Zhao Rou dared to use the strategy of distracting and killing Chou Feng; this time, he also planned to turn her base upside down using the same tactic. “Cunning fox.” Tianjing somewhat admired Ye Shikai. These past few days, it was precisely because of his accurate reasoning that the “Mothman” case had progressed smoothly, and many other cases were uncovered including espionage, the truth behind the collapse of Huatao Bridge; all these achievements were closely related to Ye Shikai. But Tianjing knew that Ye Shikai’s identity was mysterious and special, which made him feel somewhat emotional. Ye Shikai, I hope we never become enemies. Ye Shikai and Tianjing decided to go their separate ways for now; Ye Shikai went left and Tianjing went right. “Be careful.” Ye Shikai advised, and Tianjing made an OK gesture, then disappeared on the spot. To stay hidden, Ye Shikai pulled out the Netherworld King’s Helmet from his Storage Ring, activated his Inner Strength, and immediately became invisible. The helmet, a Divine Artifact of the Netherworld Palace, not only enhanced defense but its most important feature was invisibility. Ye Shikai, while invisible, brazenly walked past each security guard. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Ye Shikai’s ears. “Secretary Chen, pass this document to the administrative department, and inform the security to capture that intruder. Secretary Lin, accompany me to check the experimental results.” Ye Shikai saw three women not far away; one was Zhao Rou, the other two appeared to be her female secretaries. Experimental results, Ye Shikai had a premonition that this result might be the ultimate conspiracy. Thus, he decisively followed Zhao Rou, weaving through a few corners until Zhao Rou stopped in front of an elevator. Her secretary opened the elevator, and Ye Shikai, not wanting to fall behind, quickly followed, stepping a bit loudly on the elevator’s floor, which was different from the outside. “Secretary Lin, did you hear anything?” Zhao Rou’s ears twitched, as if she heard some noise. “No, Chairman Zhao, maybe you didn’t rest well,” Secretary Lin looked around; the area was empty, shook her head, although Ye Shikai was just one meter beside them in the cramped elevator, almost touching them. Zhao Rou carefully looked around the elevator, Ye Shikai quickly held his breath. Although he could become invisible, he couldn’t mask the sound of his breathing. Even for someone as mentally tough as Ye Shikai, his heart was pounding loudly at this moment. The greatest distance in the world is when someone is right in front of you, but you can’t see them. The elevator quickly moved, but not upwards, it was heading deeper underground, six floors deep to be precise. Most importantly, these underground floors were not marked on the building’s blueprints, which meant they were secretly constructed. The elevator stopped at the fifth basement level; as soon as the doors opened, Ye Shikai quickly stepped out, followed closely by Zhao Rou and Secretary Lin. Ye Shikai was stunned by the scene before him—an enormous biochemical research center, with biohazard symbols everywhere, reminiscent of a movie scene, bustling with hundreds of researchers in hazmat suits, and countless colorful chemicals and experimental equipment. Zhao Rou and Secretary Lin entered a changing room and put on hazmat suits. Ye Shikai channeled his Inner Strength, forming a barrier around him to block chemical gases and slowly followed them inside. “Dr. Li, how are the research results?” Zhao Rou approached a man and asked lightly. “Congratulations, Chairman Zhao, the HST drug, which was supposed to take two more days to complete, is already developed,” Dr. Li said, handing Zhao Rou a box containing a syringe with a deep green solution. “Really? There won’t be any issues, right?” Zhao Rou looked at the deep green solution with eyes sparkling with uncontrollable excitement. “If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences,” Zhao Rou placed her hand near her neck, making a throat-slitting gesture. “Of course, of course, I can assure the stability of the drug,” Dr. Li hurriedly said, well aware of the woman’s methods in front of him, fearing for his life if he spoke too late. “That’s for the best.” Zhao Rou pocketed the drug, walked over to a microphone and spoke softly, “Everyone, please pause your work and thank you all for your contributions to the experiment. Please wait here for a moment; I will distribute bonuses as rewards.” As soon as she finished speaking, the numerous personnel below all started clapping. Ye Shikai noticed the mention of the HST drug—whatever it was, it seemed to be no simple matter, otherwise Zhao Rou wouldn’t have threatened Dr. Li’s life. Zhao Rou and Secretary Lin left the lab, removed their hazmat suits, and Ye Shikai, not wanting to delay, quickly followed them. “Secretary Lin, have them all executed,” Zhao Rou shockingly ordered. Ye Shikai felt a chill down his spine upon hearing this; there were over a hundred people inside. Zhao Rou’s words were an Imperial Decree to her female secretary, who showed no reaction but simply nodded slightly. “Make it clean, the HST project must not be known to the outside world,” Zhao Rou whispered into the female secretary’s ear.
