Chapter 291 – 291: Kidnaped
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jeffrey was quite flustered when he was kidnapped at first. After all, he had changed his name since he was young. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just an extremely ordinary student. Who would lay a hand on him?
However, he quickly calmed down. At the same time, he guessed that it was probably the person behind the arson.
The kidnappers were experienced. As soon as they got into the car, they searched Jeffrey from head to toe and found a GPS on his watch and phone.
“D*mn, this watch is quite valuable.” The brawny man touched the watch with pity. In the end, he opened the window and threw it out of the window along with his phone.
Jeffrey was blindfolded and listened to his surroundings without saying a word.
It was only when he was brought to a basement that he regained his sight.
Soon, a masked man came into the basement. “Tell me, where is the reagent you’re researching?”
Jeffrey pretended to be dumb. “I don’t know what you mean by reagent.”
“Don’t play dumb. We already know about the experiments you did in the
Astronomical Hall. Be good and hand over the drug you made and the experimental data.”
Jeffrey’s eyes darkened. “Since you know about this, you should know very well that the planetarium was on fire and everything was burned to ashes.”
What he meant was that he did not have those things with him now.
The masked man was not in a hurry. “As long as you’re still alive and can move your mouth, you don’t have to worry about that thing disappearing. At most, we’ll keep you here for a while until you can make that reagent again.” 𝘧𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝘮
Jeffrey asked him, “Where did you know about this?”
His neuro-drug had just been developed, and the first phase of animal experiments had just been done. The only time it could leak out was the fire.
“You guys started that fire?” Jeffrey immediately realized that something was wrong.
If the arsonist wanted the drug, he should have taken control of the laboratory instead of burning all the test subjects and test data.
So the news was leaked after the fire?
Was that the information leaked out by the investigation team? Or perhaps… Anderson’s house?
Regardless of which one it was, Jeffrey’s heart sank.
The masked man chuckled. “I don’t know about the fire. This is an order from the higher-ups. My mission is to get the drug and the test data as soon as possible. ”
He pulled out a dagger and patted Jeffrey’s face. “So you’d better be obedient. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to keep your hands and feet for a long time. You know, if you want to do experiments, all you have to do is open your mouth.”
He straightened his back. “I don’t like to force people, so I’ll give you an hour to think about it. Do you want to cooperate with us or do you want us to help you cooperate with us?”
Before leaving, the masked man suddenly said, “Oh right, you can also remember where the two bottles of drugs went in this hour.”
Jeffrey’s pupils trembled. The other party knew that he still had two bottles of finished drugs.
It turned out that he had developed five bottles of reagents in the first batch. After the first live test, there were only two bottles left. He had locked them in a highly secretive safe embedded in the wall that was impervious to fire and water.
After the fire broke out, the safe was brought back by the people his
grandfather sent to clean up the scene. After their inspection, there were no signs of human damage to the safe.
Therefore, the only people who knew about this matter should be those who had come into contact with the safe.
It seemed that there was a spy by his grandfather’s side!
Jeffrey pursed his lips. He had to find a way to tell his grandfather about this as soon as possible.
He had already decided that since these people wanted the formula, he would pretend to agree to cooperate with them and stall for time.
At the same time, he looked down at his right foot.
In order to prevent him from having a locator on him, those people even took off his shoes to check.
However, if they were more careful and checked the socks, they might find a small thin chip stuck to it..
