After calming down, the two of them ate and talked about what they had experienced over the years.
In the past, because they hid their identities from each other, both parties rarely mentioned the past. Even if they did, they would hide it.
Now that she had confessed everything, Qin Ran was much more relaxed. She talked about many of the missions she had done when she was a Beautiful Fox, and she also mentioned Tang Yan.
Mo Chi’s experience was even more complicated. After all, Qin Ran was only an agent. No matter how complicated the mission was, it was just a mission. However, Mo Chi had relied on himself to reach the position of the highest leader of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He had even defeated a few “crown princes” who came from noble backgrounds. Until now, there were also traces of those people who assassinated him.
Qin Ran asked curiously as she drank her juice, “But why did you become the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau? I feel that you’re not someone who likes to be an official.”
“You’re right, but this isn’t about whether I like it or not.” The smile on Mo Chi’s face faded. “A few of my good brothers died tragically overseas because of the previous Director of Military Intelligence. We couldn’t even return home with their corpses. From then on, I decided that I wanted to climb to the highest position and do my best to protect the lives of my subordinates.”
Mo Chi sighed and continued, “When you mentioned Phantom, the reason why I hesitated was also because of this. If I rashly went against them, the entire Military Intelligence Bureau might be involved. If a war really breaks out, I’m afraid…”
Qin Ran nodded. “I understand.”
Although she really hoped that Mo Chi could help her, she also knew his difficulties.
Mo Chi’s heart softened when he saw the lass’s sensible expression. He gently wiped the juice from the corner of Qin Ran’s mouth with a handkerchief and continued, “But this doesn’t mean that I can’t do anything. I contacted my intelligence officers in various countries last night and asked them to help investigate. Mo Shi also helped me use his connections in Country K. He came over today to tell me about this.”
Qin Ran’s eyes widened, and she was extremely touched. It turned out that Mo Chi had been helping her investigate Phantom for a long time, and she was actually still angry at him at that time.
“Did you find anything?” Qin Ran asked nervously.
“Yes.” Mo Chi sent a summary document to Qin Ran. As the two of them checked it, he explained, “I found out that a famous biopharmaceutical company in Country F was ordered to stop production by the government because of illegal production of drugs. This is called a pharmaceutical company called Matar.”
This investigation was consistent with the information Tang Yan had obtained back then, which meant that there must be something wrong with Matar Corporation. Qin Ran nodded. “Have you found out what’s wrong with this company?”
“Although Marta has closed down, the technicians in the research lab have not entered other biopharmaceutical companies on the market at all. They have all moved to Country T. I used my personal IP to hack into the computers of a few of the technicians and obtained some information. Take a look. Do you have any impression?”
Qin Ran quickly browsed through the professional information in the field of biological research. Because she was originally a professional, it didn’t seem to be difficult. About five minutes later, her expression was very ugly. “They seem to be studying difficult problems related to genetic defects. Moreover, it’s a special case of cell nucleus instability caused by the genetic mutation in the body. This kind of case should be very rare. As far as I know, there is no such case in Country Z.”
Mo Chi’s eyes darted around. “Is it possible that Phantom invested in researching this genetic mutation because they…”
Qin Ran’s eyes widened and she immediately opened her laptop. “Let me check!”
Ten minutes later, Qin Ran turned the computer screen to Mo Chi. “Look, there are a total of thirteen cases of cell nuclei being unstable due to genetic mutation, causing serious changes in bodily functions. Eight of the patients are already dead, and among the remaining five…” Qin Ran circled the names of two of them. “These two are biological siblings. Moreover, they continued to live for ten years after their illness acted up.”
This illness had a very high death rate. After the illness acted up, one would basically not live for more than three years.
This meant that these two people were rich, very rich, so rich that they could use money to extend their lives.
In addition, the details of these two people were “top secret” on the website. They did not publicize all the information or even crowdfund donations like the remaining three people. This showed that these two people really wanted to hide their identities.
Mo Chi said, “The latest update of the information was ten years ago, and the period when the biological researchers of the various countries disappeared was also about this decade.”
They were close to the truth.
