Chapter 173: The Value of Langton Labs

Due to the good blockade of the plague event this time, Xiao Ruo was already late when he got the news. After contacting her family, she told them not to go out, the enchantment at home is still very strong, and ordinary things can't be invaded.

However, if he can't meet them, Xiao Ruo still won't feel at ease. She thought about it, since this world is not safe, then let's go to the secret realm.

After instructing Bai Ze and Qi Qiong at home over the phone, Xiao Ruo and Li Muyun from Xiangjiang also went to the villa garden to explore the strength of the space in this vicinity. But under the investigation, she was surprised.

Originally, there were many spatial weaknesses between the secret realm and the present world, and Xiao Ruo, who had studied space deeply, naturally did not need to go to the public entrance and exit every time, and could tear the space at will according to the connection between the present world and the secret realm. But today is different, and she can't feel the slightest connection anymore.

This meant that she might need to take the public entrance if she wanted to get to the secret realm. However, there is no public entrance and exit in Xiangjiang, and if you want to go to the secret realm, you have to go back to the mainland.

When she was a little worried, Bai Ze's phone came in and gave her another bad news: "Miss, the passage between the present world and the secret realm seems to be blocked, and we can't enter the secret realm now." ”

And Li Muyun, who put down the phone over there, didn't have a very good face: "Ruoruo, I just received the news that the public entrance and exit to the secret realm in this world is no longer usable. ”

Even the public entrances and exits have failed? Doesn't that mean that they are already trapped in this world?

Xiao Ruo's face was ugly, and she still didn't know the specific situation of the plague. I just know that the number of people infected is rising dramatically. She didn't know anything about the specific cause and symptoms, which made her a little upset.

The winter in Xiangjiang was not too cold, just like the warm sunshine of early spring sprinkled on her, Xiao Ruo felt a chill for no reason, as if something she was extremely unwilling to see was happening.

At this time, she remembered her own laboratory, which should be used at this time, so she subconsciously ordered: "Anthony, go and let the laboratory find out the source of the epidemic as soon as possible, and send me the results as soon as possible......"

This is where the words come to an abrupt end.

It seems that she is really dizzy, Anthony is no longer by her side, but when it comes to things related to the Langton family, she still reflexively discusses with her housekeeper.

Li Muyun felt a dull pain in his heart. In those three years, it was not him who was by her side after all. Maybe she didn't even notice how important Anthony was to her, although only three years was enough to develop a habit from the heart.

Her time seems to be divided into several parts, part of the wanderings before the age of six, part of the happiness before the age of sixteen, part of the three years of busyness in England, and part of the final return to China.

And he only appears in the last part. For a cold-hearted person like Xiao Ruo, time is the best way to cultivate feelings. But he's far behind in this regard.

He wanted to know all about her, but he was always afraid that she would be annoying to him, and at this time, it was not a good time.

Li Muyun was silent and didn't know what to say, Xiao Ruo also lowered his head, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his eyes.

Isn't she unable to live without the housekeeper, hasn't she also adapted to it in the past two months? Presumably she will slowly get used to it in the future, and now is not the time to dwell on this matter.

"Ruoruo, since the secret realm can't be entered, let's think of another way. At this time, Grandpa Xiao and Grandpa Yang should both have very important meetings to be held, after all, if such a big thing happens, if it is not handled well, there will be riots at any time. I've already sent people to Yuquan Mountain, and I think there will be news soon. ”

Li Muyun's words brought Xiao Ruo back to her senses, and she smiled reluctantly: "Well, I know it too." But I can't go back, I'm always worried. ”

"I've already left a message for my dad that when he finishes the meeting, I'll contact the person in charge of the Beijing airport, and we can go back then." Seeing her distressed appearance, Li Muyun felt distressed for a while, stepped forward and took the person into his arms, hesitated for a moment, and still said part of what he had done.

He knew that Xiao Ruo didn't like the people in his family, but as the first deputy mayor of the capital and the next mayor, Li Guotao still had a certain say in this regard. Besides, the Li family also has a certain right to speak in the Military Commission, and he has already inquired with his grandmother Liu Xueli that the unit responsible for martial law is the Beijing Military Region. It seems that Li Pei was also thrown out by her for "waste utilization", and planned to let him come forward in order to get the authorization of the Military Commission.

But this can't be said to Xiao Ruo, anyway, Li Pei is also going to die, and it is good to be of some use before he dies.

Xiao Ruo nodded lightly in her arms, now is not the time to worry about this. Although she is also a child of a family, and her grandfather is also a member of the army, she does not have the slightest awareness of this, so she can't contact him and Xiao Wangshan now. Li Muyun is different, he has been in the family circle since he was a child, so he naturally knows the emergency contact method at this time.

Now I just hope that everything goes well.

Xiangjiang is not worried here, she is leaving, Wei Lixin does not dare to stop her.

But she clearly underestimated her own influence, especially at Langton Labs, which is unique in biochemical technology.

On the afternoon of the day Xiao Ruo learned about the plague, the Governor of Xiangjiang, Wei Lixin, came to visit.

The two sides sat down and exchanged two words, Wei Lixin went straight to the point, direct and incredible: "Your Excellency Duke, Your Majesty learned that you are in Xiangjiang, and specially asked me to inform you, please return to China quickly, now the country needs you very much." ”

Xiao Ruo's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, put it on the coffee table, and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty is in such a hurry to find me, is there anything wrong?" ”

"There is a plague in the country, the situation is urgent, and it is almost out of control, please return to the country as soon as possible." Wei Lixin looked very anxious, even with a hint of pleading.

"Your Excellency, your words are too messy for me to get any useful information out of them, please calm down." Xiao Ruo took a sip of black tea and said lightly.

Although her words were very light, they seemed to have some kind of soothing power, Wei Lixin's emotions gradually calmed down, and realizing his gaffe just now, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Xiao Ruo and said, "I was too impatient just now, please don't mind, Your Excellency the Duke." ”

Xiao Ruo made a gesture for him to sit down, and leaned back on the sofa: "Please explain in detail Your Excellency Baron, I need to know what happened." ”

Wei Lixin sat down again, let out a long breath, and then spoke. Although Li Muyun was also there, the relationship between him and Xiao Ruo was basically known to everyone, so he didn't ask Xiao Ruo to ask him out.

The current situation in Britain is very bad, although Margaret Thatcher was very resourceful, and made the economic situation in Britain much better in the changes a few years ago, but the economic situation in Europe as a whole has not been very good in the past two years. The impact of the stock market crash will not be eliminated in a while, so there are often strikes and other events in the UK.

According to the investigation, the reason why the plague spread so quickly throughout the United Kingdom was due to a large-scale strike and march/march incident at that time. The people who participated in the parade came from all walks of life and everywhere, so from the very beginning, the plague spread extremely quickly in Britain.

Of course, other countries are not slow, after all, although not as good as the 21st century, transportation in this era is also very convenient. Moreover, according to the investigation, the sources of diffusion are all in densely populated places, so as soon as the plague was discovered, it spread with a kind of spark and intensified.

However, Wei Lixin naturally couldn't say this, he knew that His Excellency the Duke had a deep affection for Huaxia, just by seeing that she gave away desert plants to Huaxia almost for free. However, the British Academy of Sciences was unable to give a usable report on the source of the plague infection in a short period of time, and could only be regarded as a new virus.

At this time, the Langton Laboratory naturally entered the field of vision of the British high-level.

As recognized as the top laboratory in biochemistry, the scientists in it can break the heads of outsiders if they release any of them, but unfortunately I only heard that there are new joiners every day, but none of the scientists are willing to quit.

What's more, the outside world can't even find the specific location of Langton's lab. The Langton Lab has always been a recruiting force, not just the scientists themselves, but all of their close relatives will be asked to move into the lab's base, although the location of this base is unknown.

Britain doesn't know how many people are fighting the idea of the Langton Laboratory, but the Langton family, as one of the top families in the whole of Europe, coupled with the strong hand of its new owner, by the second year of Xiao Ruo's becoming the head of the family, no one dared to touch his tiger's whiskers. That huge combination of interests made no one dare to act rashly, let alone Xiao Ruo had two other behemoths around him, Habsburg and Vincennes.

Even now, when the UK is in turmoil, the Queen and the Prime Minister still dare not use violence. At the same time, they are very glad that Xiao Ruo is now in Xiangjiang, if it is in China, with the severity of the plague in the world now, it is absolutely impossible for the Huaxia government to let her go back to the UK.

Now, they're just going to get a head start. As long as Xiao Ruo agrees here, with the fact that Xiangjiang is still British territory, they can pick her up before the Huaxia government makes a move, and they don't have to worry about their obstruction.

However, these are all said to Wei Lixin, that is, he wants to know the seriousness of the matter, and Xiao Ruo naturally does not know. Methodics only poured bitter water on her, saying how serious the situation in Britain was, and even specifically mentioned the situation in Northern Ireland.

Langton Castle was very close to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, and hearing him say this, Xiao Ruo really frowned. There are still many people in the castle, many of whom are old people who have worked diligently in the castle all their lives. Xiao Ruo was not without feelings for them, so he was naturally a little worried when he heard the words.

Her reaction made Wei Lixin very excited, and he was about to make persistent efforts, but he heard Xiao Ruo's mobile phone ringing.

Although it was a little rude, Xiao Ruo still smiled apologetically at Wei Lixin and picked up the phone. She was very worried about the situation in the capital, and this was not the time to care about politeness.

"Hey, is it Ruoruo?"

It was Xiao Wangshan's voice. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
