Chapter 304: It’s Actually Him
The rumbling thunder tore through the silent night, as if tearing a rift in the sky.
The bookcase in the secret room opened from the middle. Terrence supported the man beside him respectfully.
Although he was wearing a silver mask and his face could not be seen clearly, Qiu Tong felt a strong sense of familiarity from him.
Jin Yang and Qiu Tong’s hands were tied up. The ropes were made of special materials and the more they struggled, the tighter it became.
After trying a few times, Qiu Tong panted heavily, her cells all highly vigilant as she searched for an opening.
The masked man sensed her hostility and chuckled nonchalantly. He said arrogantly, “Even if I let you go, you won’t be able to escape from the Liqing Corporation’s headquarters. There are countless traps and mechanisms hidden in this building…”
“Since we’re in your hands now, take off your mask.”
Jin Yang’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile as a self-deprecating glint flashed across his eyes. He forced out a word. “Dad.”
Qiu Tong’s throat felt like it was being strangled by an invisible hand. She couldn’t make a sound.
The masked man calmly took off the silver mask covering his face. A familiar face gradually appeared.
Jin Tao! It was him?!
The president’s father was actually the founder of this evil corporation?!
Qiu Tong’s heart suddenly constricted. Meanwhile, Jin Tao stared at Jin Yang with interest and asked, “When did you know?”
“When the Vulture Organization infiltrated the country, I felt that something was wrong.”
Jin Yang’s eyes turned bloodshot. Now that all his speculations were confirmed, he did not feel as relieved as he had imagined. Instead, his heart felt increasingly heavy and powerless. The enemy he had been pursuing for a long time was actually his family. This powerful realization made him smile bitterly.
“Ever since I took office, management of the underground black market has been extremely strict.”
“You once taught me that there will never be absolute black and white. Only by allowing the existence of gray areas can we maintain order better. I listened to your teachings and opened up the black market. I also tacitly allowed them to conduct small-scale arms trafficking and hire criminals… I also didn’t close off the Dark Web.”
“But everything that happened in these places is under my control. Many traffickers can only do business with my permission. Many years ago, the Vulture Organization marched into the underground black market in a domineering manner, bearing weapons that only the military has.”
As Jin Yang recalled the past, his deep voice did not waver even for a moment.
“At that time, I suspected that they had a high-ranking government official backing them, but I didn’t suspect you.”
“You’ve been living in the old residence the entire time. It seems like you’ve given me authority, but all the confidential documents are in your hands. I don’t even have the authority to transfer them. I noticed this when I was investigating the human modification drug, so I deliberately probed you…”
Jin Yang had secretly done many things, but Jin Tao was too conceited and did not care.
“I could almost confirm that you are the mastermind behind this, but before entering this secret room, I still had a ridiculous hope that I was wrong. The incense in this secret room is your favorite scent. It’s very difficult to obtain. Only the old residence still has a few boxes of it.”
“When Qiu Tong and I first came to this office, your mixed-race puppet revealed many flaws.”
“And I realized that the keyboard on the desk is slanted. The mouse, screen and keyboard are arranged in a certain subtle angle, as per your unique habit.”
“There’s a thin red string hanging from the leaf of the potted plant on the window sill. This is also your habit.”
Jin Yang’s gaze landed on Jin Tao. His familiarity with his father was his confirmation.
“Hahaha…”
Jin Tao laughed heartily. He couldn’t help clapping his hands and praising, “You’re indeed my son. You’re very outstanding.”
Qiu Tong narrowed her eyes. She saw Jin Yang’s fingers rubbing his palm and guessed that he had made arrangements in advance. She tacitly helped him stall for time and asked, “Why did you obtain the human modification drug? Why did you create a terrorist organization?”
“You’ve already obtained power and a life that ordinary people envy! What else are you not satisfied with?”
Jin Tao grinned when he heard her words. He raised his index finger and poked his chest, replying decisively, “I am greedy.”
“Everyone wants a greater authority. I can be the president in this country, but what about overseas? What about the world?”
“What I want is for everyone to submit to me and beg for my favor! I want to use the modification drug to create an army so powerful that no one can defeat it. This mutant army will fulfill my dream of ruling the world!”
“I was just one step away from success, but your father disrupted everything!”
Jin Tao’s eyes flickered with madness as he glared at Qiu Tong. “This so-called scientist tried to escape with his secret. How ridiculous!”
