Chapter 1829 Single Lens
Qisheng Pharmaceutical, Office.
"It's basically confirmed. The diplomatic mail will arrive tomorrow and will be stored in the second room on the right on the third floor. Professor Luo Zhiming, a returned overseas Chinese expert, will also arrive in a few days!"
As soon as Brother He entered the room, shrouded in the night, he spilled all the information he had gathered.
"Oh?"
Sun Qisheng, who had been leisurely reading the newspaper with his feet propped up on the table, immediately put his feet down upon hearing this, his face beaming with joy.
"The people, the location, the items, the room—the details are all so specific. It seems Li Xiangnan is serious this time!" He clapped his hands, delighted. "Hehe, if it were fake, going through all this would be far too costly! Does Professor Luo know which day his flight is?"
"I checked, and sure enough, a plane from across the ocean will arrive at the Capital Airport four days from now at midnight!" Brother He said calmly.
"Have a smoke, Brother He!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Qisheng became even more certain of his suspicions.
He offered her a cigarette and laughed, "I asked some friends in the industry, and it's true that serum with increased potency can be produced using certain active catalytic enzymes. It seems that Li Xiangnan wants to use this cutting-edge approach to make up for the lost value of the mother liquor!"
He slumped back in his office chair, tapping his fingers on the table, becoming even more certain of the veracity of Li Xiangnan's bait.
“Then tomorrow night…” Brother He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Wait for my call!" Sun Qisheng chuckled.
Brother He nodded and left.
He waited until the footsteps faded away before getting up and going to the window. He saw Brother He leave through the back door, then returned to the table and picked up the phone.
"Sir, it's me!" As soon as the call connected, Sun Qisheng's tone became exceptionally respectful.
"Hmm!" A deep, steady voice came from the other end of the phone, devoid of any emotion.
"Li Xiangnan's pharmaceutical factory... has recently found a new breakthrough, involving an overseas professor and a new type of catalytic enzyme he brought back. This stuff can be used to work with ordinary snake venom and has a high chance of replacing the original mother liquor we obtained!"
Sun Qisheng reported cautiously, only daring to make the call after all the information had been gathered, showing how wary he was of the person behind him. At this moment, he also openly expressed his suspicion that Li Xiangnan might have set a trap.
“Li Xiangnan is more troublesome than we imagined. I suspect that this time, he has set a trap for me regarding the catalytic enzyme. He may also be trying to find the person who stole his mother liquor and is planning to deal with me! This guy is not easy to deal with!”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a deep voice, "What? The funds I gave you aren't enough?"
Sun Qisheng's face stiffened, and his heart tightened instinctively, realizing that the other party had seen through his thoughts.
"Sir, you are wise! I'm not complaining, but Li Xiangnan is indeed formidable. The main problem is his current behavior, which is half-true and half-false... I'll assume it's true for now. If we manage to seize the catalytic enzyme, we'll have two advantages over him. If we want to use the catalytic enzyme to do something later, we'll need further research and development and to make connections, which all require resources!"
He swallowed hard. "After all, our ultimate goal is to prevent his serum from being successfully marketed and threatening...our overall situation!"
Sun Qisheng was incredibly clever. At this moment, he cleverly used the excuse of the overall situation and making necessary investments to deal with Li Xiangnan to explain his request for additional funding.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
"I'll have someone give you some money, but of course, make sure it's done cleanly and you get the goods... If the operation fails, you should know what to do!"
"Yes, yes, sir, rest assured, I'm reliable!" Sun Qisheng assured him repeatedly.
He finally let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead after the call ended.
Every time I talk to the other party, it feels like walking a tightrope—both dangerous and thrilling.
Snapped!
After finishing a cigarette, Sun Qisheng's heart calmed down again, and his eyes turned sinister once more.
He silently calculated the time and then dialed another number.
"Brother He, let's get ready to make our move! I hope to hear good news tomorrow night!"
"Yes!"
……
The following evening, a jeep departed from the Capital Airport, drove into the city, and entered the Hongyan Hotel, a hotel catering to foreign guests. The foreign mail on board was escorted by numerous security personnel to the third floor.
Nothing happened at the Hongyan Hotel until the night was deep.
At this moment, the entire Soviet-style building appeared particularly solemn under the dim yellow light.
At the far end of the third floor is a suite reserved for Professor Luo Zhiming, an overseas biologist.
Next door to him was a storage room for special items.
At this very moment, on the coffee table in the storage room, there was a special little refrigerator covered with English labels.
Inside, wisps of white cool air could be faintly seen, along with several meticulously crafted sample vials labeled "NET-M9 Catalytic Enzyme".
The windows in the room were not closed, as if the owner of the room had only left temporarily.
Next door to this room, Li Xiangnan, Wang Defa, Qiao Henwan, Jiang Qitao, and Jian Jingzhe, except for Guo Qian who was standing by the window, all sat behind that special single-lens reflex mirror, watching intently at the other side.
This wall has been specially modified, and the single lens on the wall allows people to clearly see the entire scene in the opposite room without leaving their own home.
Wang Defa gripped a steel pipe tightly in his hand, his palms sweating slightly.
Li Xiangnan, however, had clear eyes and waited quietly for his prey to step into the trap he had laid.
Everyone inside was nervous, but also very excited.
Especially Jian Jingzhe and Jiang Qitao.
But the tension between the two also had a focus.
Jiang Qitao was worried that if Brother He didn't come, they wouldn't be able to pinpoint Sun Qisheng, the culprit who stole the mother liquor.
Jian Jingzhe was worried that if Brother He came, a conflict might break out, and if anyone lost control of their emotions, the people in the house might get hurt, and Li Xiangnan might get hurt...
She turned her head to look at Li Xiangnan's profile in the darkness, illuminated by the streetlights outside. Her heart pounded wildly as she recalled the scene at home a few nights ago, her cheeks burning hot each time.
"coming!"
However, just as Jian Jingzhe was lost in thought, Guo Qian's whispered reminder made her and everyone else tense up.
Then, Brother He appeared silently in the shadows behind the hotel wall, like a black panther blending into the night.
Instead of using the main entrance, this guy dressed in all black and moved with the agility of a wild leopard. Using the protrusions on the exterior wall and the drainage pipes, he nimbly climbed to the third floor and perched outside the third-floor window.
The women inside quickly covered their mouths, afraid of making a sound and disturbing the man who had been waiting for so long!
Li Xiangnan, Wang Defa, and Guo Qian stared intently at the window next door.
Brother He's actions were extremely professional; he was clearly a repeat offender!
Using a special tool, this guy opened the window latch almost without making a sound, nimbly flipped over and went in, and squatted steadily on the ground!
It landed silently, like a nimble cat in the night.
Everyone's expressions immediately tensed up.
Brother He squatted on the ground in front of the window, his cloudy eyes quickly scanning the entire room before finally fixing on the refrigerator on the coffee table.
Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the guy's movements with utmost composure.
But a voice kept calling out in my heart: Brother He, Brother He, let's do it!
But—he didn't move!
They dared not move.
Separated by a pane of glass, the two sides engaged in a silent psychological battle...
