Chapter 100: The Mysterious Organization

The next morning.

While Yun Mu waited for data to process in the lab, she idly passed the time. Suddenly, she felt the urge and opened her laptop, focusing intently as she began a systematic intrusion.

It had been a while since she last did this; she was a bit rusty. She wondered how robust Emperor Group's firewall would be.

After several minutes of busy fingers, Yun Mu listened to the conversation through her headphones, a sly smile curling her lips.

"Huo Tingying, I've got you."

At that moment,

Huo Tingying stood with his back to Feng Shuo and his desk, dressed in an expensive dark shirt that accentuated his tall stature. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression icy cold, swirling a crystal wine glass in his hand.

Behind him, Feng Shuo respectfully draped a coat over him, only to have it brushed aside.

"It's so difficult for you to investigate Ji Ming, isn't it? A day and night have passed without any word." Huo Tingying glared at Feng Shuo with a sinister look.

Feng Shuo lowered his eyes. "The Ji family has left virtually no trace in China. There's no way to find any connection between him and Madam."

Huo Tingying suddenly thought of something and glanced at Feng Shuo. "What about the sanatorium where I asked you to continue investigating Yun Mu being used as a test subject? Any leads?"

Feng Shuo was about to address this. "Yes, but..."

Huo Tingying noticed his hesitation, raising an eyebrow in suspicion and casting an impatient, icy glance at Feng Shuo. "Speak."

But fear flashed across Feng Shuo's eyes. He suppressed a heavy sigh before opening the tablet in his hand and handing it to Huo Tingying.

"Young Master, please take a look at this information first."

After a quick glance at the shocking investigative report on the tablet, Huo Tingying's body stiffened abruptly. His hands, resting on the desk, clenched into fists, his face grave.

"Yun Mu... How could she be connected to that organization... What has she experienced..."

Huo Tingying's gaze was deep, feeling a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into a sickening abyss.

His slender fingers trembled as they swiped through pages of information on the tablet—horrific human dissections, evil experiments, all shockingly displayed!

Feng Shuo said solemnly, "According to confidential records, the AR78 biochemical facility was established ten years ago. It set up dozens of bases in China to develop the M5 drug, using populations from mental hospitals or orphanages for live research. Rumor has it that the M5 drug can rewrite human genes, treating terminal illnesses like cancer and leukemia."

"But five years ago, survivors who escaped from the bases revealed that the M5 drug was nothing more than an unachievable fantasy. All volunteers injected with the M5 drug had a survival rate of less than 0.01%. Some even claimed that the original purpose of researching the M5 drug was actually to develop biochemical weapons."

After Feng Shuo finished speaking, the office fell into a deathly silence.

Feng Shuo watched as Huo Tingying scrolled to the last page of the information.

It showed that subject number 1809 had completed the injection of the M5 drug.

And 1809 was Yun Mu's code name.

Feng Shuo said, "Young Master, you should understand what it means to be injected with the M5 drug..."

Huo Tingying was silent; he knew very well.

Being injected with the M5 drug meant there was no chance of survival.

"According to the records, after Madam was injected with the M5 drug, she already showed signs of rejection. There was no way she could have left the base alive..."

Yet Yun Mu returned alive.

There were only two possibilities.

One, the current Yun Mu was fake.

Two, Yun Mu had a more mysterious power behind her, and she had other drugs to cure the rejection caused by the M5.

Feng Shuo stole a glance at Huo Tingying and asked cautiously, "Young Master, what... do you think?"

"What do you mean, what do I think?"

Feng Shuo, bracing himself, spoke frankly. "AR78 is too deep. Madam's medical skills far surpass those of ordinary people. She's too mysterious, and everything she does is beyond belief! Young Master, are you really going to continue entangling yourself with her..."

Feng Shuo was loyal to his master, solely concerned with Huo Tingying's safety.

Huo Tingying's long eyelashes drooped, concealing his dark, narrow eyes.

He took a sip of wine, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing. In a deep, low voice, he scoffed lightly, "She merely has a mysterious past, but she has never harmed me."

Moreover, he was increasingly enamored with that woman's beauty.

It wasn't something he could simply walk away from anymore...

"She's never harmed you, are you sure?"

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open forcefully.

Lu Nansen walked in holding a test result, his expression serious. "This is the drug sample I screened from your blood. The medicine Yun Mu gave you during this period bears a great resemblance to M5. No wonder she could easily stop your episodes each time, but your condition has worsened!"

"What?" Feng Shuo was shocked. "Young Lu, are you sure?"

Lu Nansen replied, "Regarding Tingying's life and death, how could I joke around? This is also my fault for not noticing the abnormality in her medication earlier."

"Tingying, you should also know the consequences of using the M5 drug. Not only does it fail to save lives, but it hastens death! She escaped from that organization, so she couldn't possibly be unaware of the drug's outcome! Her actions might very well be to use you, to control you..."

"Enough!" Huo Tingying slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table, suddenly lifting his eyes. "With her abilities, she has plenty of ways to control me; there's no need to go through such convoluted means. Besides, it's still uncertain whether the drug in my body is M5."

Lu Nansen gasped. "I see you're blinded by lust. Wanting to know the truth isn't complicated; just search her lab, and you'll find out, won't you?"

"No need to investigate further, cease all operations." Huo Tingying commanded, "All inquiries regarding Yun Mu and M5 shall be terminated immediately!"

He dared not delve deeper, nor did he wish to know more. Some truths would naturally come to light when the time was right.

Lu Nansen rubbed his forehead, "Huo Tingying, can't you be more rational? Even if you trust Yun Mu, one must always be wary of others. I suggest you stop using the medicine she gave you."

"Not using her medicine, waiting for death?" Huo Tingying asked quietly.

Lu Nansen was momentarily at a loss.

Indeed, the deadline was approaching, and he and the medical team had yet to find a solution for Huo Tingying's condition.

Without the medicine, death was inevitable after a month.

But continuing with M5...

"I have one week left, I'll keep trying," Lu Nansen turned to leave.

"No need, I trust her," said Huo Tingying.

Lu Nansen paused in his steps, "But I don't."

And then, he left the office.

Feng Shuo looked gravely at Huo Tingying, about to offer some advice.

But at that moment, Huo Tingying's computer sounded a system warning.

"Abnormal intrusion detected, interception mechanism activated, system rebooting."

Instantly, both Huo Tingying and Feng Shuo's expressions changed.

The firewall in Huo Tingying's office, installed by him personally, had never been breached by any hacker before, but now...

With the system invaded, protective measures were triggered, plunging the entire office into darkness.

Red alarm lights flickered, casting an eerie glow on the handsome yet sinister face of the man.

"It seems we've met our match," Huo Tingying smirked, his voice icy cold.
