Chapter 226 Undercurrent 2
The UBS Building stands silently in the night.
Su Wanwan stood in the shadows opposite the building, counting the time. Five minutes had passed since Lu Wei's promised twenty minutes.
The phone vibrated, and Lu Wei sent a text message: "Cheng Yuan's people have already rushed to the west district. He asked the sniper to stay where he is. Be careful."
Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes. Lu Wei could even grasp such a secret. It seemed that she had a special status with Cheng Yuan.
But there was no time to dwell on this. She put on her prepared bank ID and walked quickly towards the main entrance of the building.
"Hello, I'm Linda from the private banking department." She showed her ID to the security guard, "A client has made an appointment for midnight service."
The security guard carefully checked the documents and the reservation system: "Okay, Miss Linda, please go through the VIP channel."
As the elevator reached the 37th floor, Su Wanwan's heartbeat became faster and faster. Her father's safe was on this floor, and the contents inside might affect the lives of countless people.
Ding--
The moment the elevator door opened, her pupils suddenly contracted.
At the end of the corridor, a familiar figure was leaning against the door of the safe area!
"I'm really surprised." Cheng Yuan smiled slightly, "You actually chose to come alone."
Su Wanwan's expression remained unchanged: "It seems that Lu Wei is also acting."
"She did help you lead my people away." Cheng Yuan approached slowly, "but you underestimated me. When Lu Wei told me that you would come here, I understood her intention."
“So you let her continue acting?”
"I admire your courage." Cheng Yuan stopped three steps away from Su Wanwan, "Unfortunately, some truths are better not to be known."
“Like the Heaven’s Gate project?”
Cheng Yuan's smile froze for a moment: "How much did Li Guohua tell you?"
"Enough to make all of you pay."
"The price?" Cheng Yuan suddenly laughed. "Do you think Li Guohua told you this for justice? How naive!"
He pulled out a USB flash drive from his pocket: "Do you know what this is? This is a complete record of your father's human experiments!"
Su Wanwan's heart was shocked.
"That's right, your beloved father was one of the earliest human experiment hosts." Cheng Yuan's voice was full of sarcasm, "And you and your brother are his most proud 'works'!"
“You lied!”
"Lying?" Cheng Yuan turned on his phone and played a video.
In the picture, a man wearing a mask is recording experimental data: "The genetic modification of subjects 7 and 8 was very successful. Their cell activity is ten times that of ordinary people, and their intellectual development is far beyond that of ordinary people..."
That voice...is my father!
"This is impossible..." Su Wanwan staggered back.
"Do you understand now?" Cheng Yuan pressed on, "Everything Li Guohua told you was false. The real culprit is your father!"
"No, there must be another reason..."
"Stop making excuses." Cheng Yuan sneered, "Your father can sacrifice anyone for research results. Even... including his own children."
Su Wanwan's mind went blank. She thought of the inexplicable "physical examinations" she had when she was a child, the cabinet in her father's study that was always locked, and the guilty look in his eyes before he died...
Everything seems to be explained.
"Now I give you two choices." Cheng Yuan's voice came, "Either join us and complete your father's research. Or..."
He pulled out his pistol: "Let's end it right here."
"Snapped--"
The lights suddenly went out! The whole floor was plunged into darkness.
Cheng Yuan subconsciously raised his gun, but found that Su Wanwan had disappeared into the darkness.
"Want to run?" He snorted coldly, "Let me tell you a secret - the backup power supply of this building was controlled by me ten minutes ago."
Su Wanwan's calm voice came from the darkness: "I will also tell you a secret."
"What?"
“Who said I came here alone?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp metallic collision sound was heard. Cheng Yuan felt a pain in the back of his neck and instantly lost consciousness.
The fire door at the end of the corridor opened, and Lu Wei appeared: "What are you still standing there for? I've already entered the password to the safe for you!"
Su Wanwan stood up quickly: "You are really acting."
"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Wei nervously checked the time, "Cheng Yuan will wake up soon, and his support will be here soon."
The two rushed to the safe area. Under Lu Wei's guidance, they quickly found the safe numbered AC-1991-0808.
"Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?" Su Wanwan asked while unpacking the box.
"Cheng Yuan and I have long been different people." Lu Wei gritted her teeth, "He killed my father."
The safe was opened and there was only a tablet and a letter inside.
“Is this all that Dad left?”
"Hurry up!" Lu Wei suddenly pushed Su Wanwan.
"boom!"
A bullet grazed Lu Wei's shoulder and hit the wall. Cheng Yuan had woken up at some point and was holding onto the wall while swaying as he aimed at them.
"Traitor!" He said to Lu Wei with a grin, "You are as stupid as your father."
"Run!" Lu Wei pulled out a pistol and fought back, "I'll stop him!"
Su Wanwan didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to the safe passage holding the things in the safe. There were dense gunshots and fighting sounds behind her.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Huo Yanshen!
"Wanwan, where are you?" His voice was filled with anxiety. "I have controlled Cheng Yuan's people and will pick you up right away!"
"I'm at the UBS Building! Lu Wei..."
There was another loud noise, and the call was suddenly interrupted. Su Wanwan looked back and saw thick smoke spreading from the other end of the corridor.
She took one last look in the direction of the fire, gritted her teeth and continued running down.
At this moment, the tablet left by my father suddenly lit up. A line of blood-red words appeared on the screen:
“Dear Daughter,
If you see this, it means my hunch is right. But please remember, everything Dad does is to protect you..."
A siren sounded in the distance.
Su Wanwan knew that a bigger storm was coming, and these things left by her father might be the key to this storm!
