Chapter 15 Extinguishing the Mouth
The next three days were spent in tension for everyone in the company, including me.
Liu Gang, Hu Xiao and Harmony Bo and Wu Zhihan had accidents one after another, which cast a shadow on everyone's hearts. It can be said that people in the company are panicking these days, although the company is still operating as usual, but a certain discordant factor has been secretly implanted in the corner of the company.
This tension lasted for three days, and on the afternoon of the third day, I received the news.
The content of the message is that Liu Gang woke up.
As soon as I heard the news, I rushed to the hospital with Wang Fatzi.
The purpose of going to the hospital this time was very simple, one was to see Liu Gang again before he took his last breath, and the other purpose was to ask questions about the SIR2 experiment.
Because the biggest key problem in this series of events is the SIR2 experiment.
I want to ask Liu Gang clearly, what kind of experiment is the SIR2 gene experiment?
Why did it cause the current series of tragedies?
What are its secrets?
When I arrived at Liu Gang's hospital room, it was full of people who came to visit, and Wang Fatzi and I squeezed before we stepped forward and saw lying on the hospital bed with his head tilted and his face beyond recognition, his body was full of gauze and fixed plaster, and it was said that many of the bones on his body were comminuted fractures and cracked bones, and if they were not fixed with metal, they could not support others at all.
What's even more chilling is that it is said that the person who hit Liu Gang was still run over by the whole car, and if the ambulance hadn't come in time, Liu Gang would have no chance of surviving. Liu Gang's survival is already a great luck in misfortune.
I walked to Liu Gang's bedside, Liu Gang's eyes were confused, his eyes were dull, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't speak.
"Director Liu, are you better?" I asked him softly, standing at his side.
"How could I be...... How did I become like this......" Liu Gang turned his face blankly, looked at me with cloudy eyes, and said something in his mouth, and then tears flowed down his wrinkled face.
"You'll be fine, don't worry, you're the old backbone of our company, no matter what, I'll help you recover. I said something nice to Liu Gang, but my eyes unconsciously moved to his crooked shoulder blades, looking at the distorted area, and a chill rash rash the back of my neck.
"Get better?...... Hehe, haha......" Hearing my words, Liu Gang laughed stupidly, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You said I looked okay?"
Although his face was smiling dryly, his eyes were full of sadness.
I was silent.
"You're going to be fine. After two seconds of silence, I said this, this time, in a more accentuated tone. "And, Director Liu, let me tell you, I will investigate this incident to the end, and I have to arrest the wronged one who hit you and make his death ugly. ”
Liu Gang looked at me blankly, his mouth snorted, and a little sadness appeared on his slightly old and weak face, he glanced at me, then closed his eyes, and after opening them, he turned his gaze away.
Seeing Liu Gang's actions, I continued: "This time the documents in the company were stolen, and two people in a row had accidents, and Hu Hehe Xiaobo also did not know where to go, I am sure that it was the same person or the same group of people, if they are not found, the lives of the whole company are in danger, including me." I'm actually the same as you, maybe in a few days, I'll come to accompany you. I said with a wry smile, "Director Liu, I have checked the situation in the company in the past few days and found one thing, so I want to ask you, although your physical condition is not good, but I am afraid that only you can explain this matter clearly, so I have to come to you." ”
Hearing my words, this time, Liu Gang seemed to be a little more energetic, he turned his head, frowned slightly, and looked at me.
"Director Liu, I want to ask you...... How much do you know about the SIR2 gene experiment? The information that was stolen from the company this time was all about the SIR2 gene experiment, so I think this matter may be inseparable from this experiment. ”
"SIR2......?" Liu Gang moved his throat when he heard my words, and spit out a hoarse and weak voice, "Yes...... cough cough cough ...... Speaking of deacetylase...... Right?"
"Yes, do you remember?" Hearing Liu Gang's words, my heart lit up. It seems that Liu Gang still remembers this experimental project, so I can finally get some clues about the SIR2 gene experiment. "Can you tell us more about the subject?"
"Hmm...... Well...... cough cough cough ......" was asked by me, Liu Gang was hesitant, he just wanted to say something, and then he began to cough violently, coughing, I don't know if it was because of the nerves in the body, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, moaned in pain, and the whole person began to tremble incessantly.
"Director Liu?"
"Yang Jiandong, you better go out, my husband has become like this, don't you see his face and speak......" It seemed that seeing Liu Gang's painful appearance was unbearable, Liu Gang's wife Lu Qian walked up and wanted to persuade me to go.
Lu Qian walked to my side and wanted to pull me away, I frowned, and froze there in some embarrassment, but I didn't get out of the way.
Seeing my actions, Lu Qian frowned.
Lu Qian...... Let me say ...... If you don't say it, you won't have a chance......" At this time, Liu Gang spoke, although his voice was very weak, but the weight was very heavy.
"Husband, you can rest for a while...... You've just woken up, and you're ......."
"I have a ......!" Liu Gang coughed a few times and aggravated his tone, "It won't take much time." ”
Under Liu Gang's words, Lu Qian glanced at me a little reluctantly, and then took a step back, while I took a step forward and put my face in front of Liu Gang.
"Director Liu, you say, I'll listen. This experimental project started a few years ago, and I don't know much about it, so I had no choice but to ask you. ”
“…… I know......" Liu Gang gasped, his throat seemed to be stuck in something, and it was difficult to breathe, "I participated in that project...... SIR2 gene ...... That's ......"
Because Liu Gang didn't speak very clearly, I looked around for a while, and then leaned closer to Liu Gang a few more times, almost putting my ear to his mouth.
"SIR2 Gene Experiment...... It's an experiment to study gene silencing......" Liu Gang gasped, and the sentence was almost squeezed out of his mouth.
"What is the main effect of the experiment?" Seeing that Liu Gang's expression was wrong, I asked him faster. After all, the purpose of the experiment is the most important part, and if I don't ask this, then I still can't know the importance of the SIR2 gene.
"SIR2 is a new gene...... Protease...... It...... Able to pass ...... Inhibits biological metabolic rate, limits telomere division, and quiescent...... Thereby...... Extend the life span of a person...... It can even ...... Immortality ......"
Rumble!!!
When you hear the words immortality. I felt like my whole brain had been thundered, and countless thunderbolts exploded in my mind almost at the same time.
Extend your life and live forever?
Is that possible?
Isn't that a fantasy?
I thought about countless possibilities for SIR2 genetic experiments, but I never thought it would be such an answer.
Eternal life.
These are simply words that cannot appear in this real world.
Those are words that can only be heard in delusions and film and television works, but at this moment, I heard it with my own ears.
For a moment, I felt as if the whole world had become illusory.
I couldn't believe my ears at all, and I thought I should have heard it wrong, or Liu Gang said it wrong.
It's definitely not about immortality, it's about anti-fatigue, or it's about energy.
yes, how could it be?
This is not writing science fiction, nor is it a joke in the Arabian Nights, how could such a thing happen?
“…… You said...... Immortality, wouldn't it? It should ...... Impossible, right?"
“…… I don't know...... That item is...... Qian Yikang took over the ...... that year He is also in charge...... I'm just in charge of the specific protocols...... Is there a ...... So magical, I ...... I don't know...... But he ...... That's what you told me......
"The project that Qian Yikang is responsible for?" Hearing this answer, I finally realized it. "I see. ”
I never thought that Qian Yikang was personally responsible for this project.
At this point, I am almost certain that the black hand is Qian Yikang.
As soon as he was released from prison, such an incident happened, and this project was also planned by him, and there is no doubt that this incident must have been his hand.
"That project was scrapped, right?"
"It's a waste ......," Liu Gang said with difficulty, "because there is not enough funds...... Qian Yikang was in debt and later went to jail, and that project ...... I didn't do it anymore......"
I finally got it.
I finally understood why Qian Yikang owed a lot of debts in the first place, why he was so eager to sit in the position of chairman of Sanxin Company, and why he kidnapped Xueqi.
It turns out that it is inseparable from this experiment.
"Director Liu, do you say, could it be Qian Yikang who did this time?" I swallowed and asked him softly.
"I don't know...... I do not know...... I didn't see the car clearly......" Liu Gang looked at me weakly, then closed his eyes.
Silent.
However, if it was the project that Qian Yikang was responsible for, why did he attack Liu Gang, and why did he steal the data records of his own project?
Unless, he's trying to...... Extinguish?
Thinking of this, I instantly felt a fire burning in my chest, and I felt like I had grasped the answer.
