Chapter 746: Do and Destroy
Chapter 746: Do and Destroy
After dinner, Wen Liang returned to the apartment with Fu Zheng, holding a stack of documents tightly in his hand.
The door closed behind me, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the city, but it couldn't keep out the heavy air in the room.
Fu Zheng took off his coat and did not walk towards the sofa. Instead, he turned around and locked his deep gaze on Wen Liang with an unavoidable scrutiny.
"Aliang," his voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet living room, "I have a few questions that I need you to answer seriously."
Wen Liang placed the documents on the entrance cabinet, rubbed his brows tiredly, and motioned for him to speak directly.
"Based on the available information, it is almost certain that your hypnosis and amnesia and Mason's abduction were directly related to Keller Hospital."
"Yes."
"Emma's death is also related to the KL Group. Her blood type is the same as Mason's."
"Yeah." Wen Liang's eyes darkened, and the scribbled notes on Emma's yellowed registration form seemed to reappear before his eyes.
"So," Fu Zheng took a step forward, and an invisible sense of oppression spread. "Do you understand now why the KL Group is so persistent and even willing to use such bloody means to target people with this extremely rare blood type? There must be a core driving force behind this."
Wen Liang raised her head, met his inquiring gaze, and expressed the guess that had been lingering in her mind for a long time: "I suspect that in the highest decision-making level of KL Group, or a crucial person who is deeply bound to its interests, he or his immediate family members have this Kidd-negative blood type, and suffer from some kind of... extremely dangerous and serious disease that is difficult to cure with conventional means. They need a steady supply of 'living samples' for research and 'treatment'."
Fu Zheng nodded slowly, with a flash of understanding in his eyes: "Your speculation is very logical. In this case, why don't you follow this line directly? Find the core patient and solve the root of the problem?"
Wen Liang paused, frowning slightly: "I'm worried about alerting the enemy. KL's power is intertwined and complex. If we make a big move and expose our intentions, not only will we not be able to find out the truth, but we will immediately bring about a catastrophe."
"Aliang, what exactly do you want to achieve after you conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter?" Fu Zheng raised a core question, "Is it to thoroughly expose the heinous crimes of the KL Group in conducting human experiments, to make them infamous and to face legal and moral judgment? Or... is it just to allow Mason to live a stable and healthy life, completely get rid of the shadow of KL, and no longer encounter any potential dangers?"
"..."
The living room fell into deathly silence, with only the regular ticking of the wall clock as the only sound.
Her lips were pressed into a pale straight line.
If Wen Liang had just arrived in Philadelphia, he would definitely answer the latter.
The chain of evidence required for the former is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and the resistance required is far beyond her imagination. She believes that she does not have that ability and cannot afford the consequences of failure.
But now, she hesitated.
Maybe she can let Mason live a stable life, but if the affairs of KL Group are not exposed, there will be more victims like Emma.
Emma died eight years ago. Eight years ago, how many victims like Emma were there?
How many victims like Emma have there been in these eight years?
How many more victims like Emma will there be in the future?
Wen Liang shuddered when he thought about the number and distribution of hospitals under the KL Group.
Countless lives like Emma's, struggling at the bottom, being hunted with precision, and being consumed as experimental consumables, are like heavy lead blocks pressing on her heart.
She hesitated.
That pure determination to protect Mason alone was torn by a heavier, darker sense of responsibility.
Seeing her silence, Fu Zheng's eyes darkened: "If it's the latter, then we can just find the key sick person and kill him."
Wen Liang: “????”
She looked at Fu Zheng in astonishment, "Aren't you too simplistic and crude?"
The senior management of KL Group, his relatives and friends, they are a community of interests and they are not ordinary people.
If he were killed, the people around him would definitely not let Wen Liang and the others go, and their lives would then become even more uneasy.
It is also possible that the disease affects not just one person, but an entire family, a family that carries the gene for a genetic disease, and there is no point in killing just one person.
There was no expression on Fu Zheng's face, as if he had already expected her reaction.
He paused, as if the shocking suggestion just now was just a drop in the ocean, and calmly proposed a second plan: "This method is indeed too risky, and the risk-return is not proportional. Then, there is a second method."
"any solution?"
Wen Liang was really afraid that Fu Zheng would come up with another out-of-the-box idea.
"No need to investigate." Fu Zheng said calmly, "Just destroy it."
Wen Liang's pupils shrank slightly: "Destroyed?"
"Yes, we know that Emma's real physical data must be stored in Artemis Laboratory. It is extremely difficult to sneak in and get the data, or get the evidence of their human experiments. Even if we get it, it will not be of much use to us. The legal process takes too long and there are too many variables."
He paused and emphasized his tone: "Why not just destroy the entire laboratory? Use the simplest and most thorough method to burn all the data, samples, and research results inside and turn them into nothing."
Wen Liang was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Then what? Will they...let it go?"
Fu Zheng's mouth curled up slightly: "They may suspect that it was us who did it, and they may even find some clues. But the most urgent thing is, what are the most urgent needs of KL Group and the core patient? It's time, it's medicine to cure the disease, it's experimental data and samples!"
"The destruction of the laboratory means that their years of hard work have been wiped out in an instant, and the core project has suffered a devastating blow. They must immediately mobilize all resources and race against time to rebuild the laboratory, recruit new samples, and restart the experiment! This huge hole will suck away most of their energy and anger like a black hole. Before the laboratory is rebuilt and the new "treatment plan" makes a breakthrough, they simply won't have enough hands or enough motivation to deal with us with all their strength."
"...But, with Keller Hospital, they will still be able to recruit more volunteers for experiments."
Wen Liang frowned slightly, looking reluctant, "A new laboratory will be built soon, and new tragedies will continue to unfold. If we destroy Artemis, we will only temporarily interrupt one of their tentacles, which is only a temporary solution. Instead, it will push more people like Emma into the abyss..."
Fu Zheng: "So, you choose the former, right?"
