Chapter 270: Uncle Mystery
Wu Tian never thought that in such a remote place, he would be able to see Professor Huo Zhenlin's photo, if he hadn't lost his way, he probably wouldn't have come to this kind of place for the rest of his life. Is this an unexpected surprise?
In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, Wu Tian carefully compared the photos of Professor Huo Zhenlin in his memory, he had seen hundreds of photos of Professor Huo Zhenlin, so although he had not seen Professor Huo Zhenlin's real person, he was still very clear about Professor Huo Zhenlin's appearance. The most striking feature of Professor Huo Zhenlin's face that he remembered was a black mole under his eye, and the person above also had a black mole under his right eye. This shows that he is not mistaken, the person on the photo is indeed Professor Huo Zhenlin.
Wu Tian shifted his gaze to the group photos again, the relationship between the two seems to be very close, the background of the photos is not this farmhouse, judging from those bottles and cans and machine qì, it should be in a real room or something. Wu Tian couldn't be more familiar with those things, he dealt with those things all day long, how could he not know them? Especially in one of the photos, behind the group photo, is the completed Wanqing Building.
Gradually, Wu Tian shifted his gaze from the photo to the face of the middle-aged uncle, and then compared it with the middle-aged uncle who took a photo with Professor Huo Zhenlin in the photo. The middle-aged uncle's skin in the photo is slightly pale, and the middle-aged uncle standing in front of him now has dark skin, but it is the kind of healthy black, which is slightly rougher than in the photo.
However, the difference in skin color does not mean that these are two people, on the contrary, thinking of what the uncle said, he only ran a farmhouse here two or three years ago, which proves that the person in the photo and the middle-aged uncle in front of him are one person.
'What is the relationship between this middle-aged uncle and Professor Huo Zhenlin? Wu Tian couldn't help but have a question in his heart. The curiosity about the identity of the middle-aged uncle was also out of control, and he very much wanted to know what the relationship between the uncle in front of him and Professor Huo Zhenlin was.
He vaguely felt that the relationship between the middle-aged uncle and Professor Huo Zhenlin was not ordinary, and there seemed to be some connection with Project X.
After the shock, Wu Tian quickly calmed down. From the middle-aged uncle's current life, it can be guessed that he must not want others to know what he has done before. As a researcher in medicinal chemistry, Wu Tian knows that these predecessors who have been working on the front line of scientific research all year round will not be able to stop their enthusiasm and determination in research unless they encounter any serious changes. This. In Professor Huo Zhenlin, it is fully displayed. At the last moment of his life, Professor Huo Zhenlin was thinking about Project X, and he was also in a car accident on the way to restart Plan X.
If you ask at this time, will the middle-aged uncle turn his face and drive him away?
Wu Tian began to ponder in his heart. Professor Huo Zhenlin is dead, and the middle-aged uncle still hangs a photo with Professor Huo Zhenlin on the wall. Carefully calculated, Professor Huo Zhenlin was in a car accident three years ago, and this middle-aged uncle also ran a farmhouse here three years ago.
Intuition sues sΓΉ Wu Tian. The middle-aged uncle must know about Plan X. The reason why he hid here and opened a farmhouse may be to hide from something, or maybe to wait for something.
But no matter what. The middle-aged uncle had already aroused Wu Tian's interest in him. And the person who makes Wu Tian interested, he will never let go.
"Uncle, the walls are full of photos of you when you were young? It's so handsome. When Wu Tian was idle, he shifted the topic to the photo in a frame hanging on the wall. Because there are a lot of photos of middle-aged uncles in the frame. It's not just a group photo of the middle-aged uncle and Professor Huo Zhenlin, so Wu Tian is not worried about what the middle-aged uncle will find.
"Hehe, young man. Really good at talking. Don't worry, I said, I won't take your money. The middle-aged uncle said to Wu Tian with a smile.
"I'm telling the truth." Wu Tian said, then walked to the wall, looked at the photos in the frame, looked at them carefully for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the single photos and said to the uncle, "Uncle, when you were young, you seemed to be whiter than now." Are you busy tanning day and night at the farmhouse? β
"yes." The middle-aged uncle nodded and said, "Young man, you don't know, it's tiring to do this." From morning to night, I have to work until midnight when I meet the guests staying overnight, and I have to get up early in the morning to prepare the ingredients and go to the field to pick vegetables. There isn't much time to rest in the day. β
"Yes, you can see at a glance how white the uncle was at that time. Look at it now, it's all dark, it must be busy. Wu Tian looked at the middle-aged uncle and said, "But, uncle, I have to say a few words to you." You can't make enough money, but it's important to have a good body. β
"That's right." The uncle responded happily, and his temper was quite good.
Wu Tian pretended to continue looking at the photo, and suddenly a puzzled voice came out of his mouth.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" The middle-aged uncle looked at Wu Tian strangely and asked, he was attracted by Wu Tian's voice, especially the surprised expression on Wu Tian's face, which made the middle-aged uncle feel strange, what could surprise a strange young man on the photo?
"Uncle, this is ......!" Wu Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to Professor Huo Zhenlin's photo and said, "This is Professor Huo's photo, right?" β
The middle-aged uncle was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at the photo that Wu Tian was pointing to, and then shifted his gaze to Wu Tian's body, and looked at it seriously, at the same time, he frowned slightly, looked at Wu Tian vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" β
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Wu Tian asked strangely, "Didn't I say it?" I'm lost. Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged uncle, Wu Tian knew that his previous guess was not wrong. The reason why the uncle came to this inconspicuous place to open a farmhouse, far away from the city, is to avoid something. This can be seen in the uncle's vigilant eyes when he mentions Professor Huo.
The middle-aged uncle looked at Wu Tian, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said to Wu Tian expressionlessly, "Let's go, go outside and wait for your friend." β
"Uncle......!"
"Please get out!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go outside and wait for my friend, uncle, don't get excited." Wu Tian hurriedly said, the uncle looked very excited, and his voice gradually became louder, and if it goes on like this. It is estimated that the uncle's family will come in and throw him out. However, Wu Tian did not give up there, and said as he walked out, "Uncle, I didn't mean to offend you, I didn't know that you had a grudge against Professor Huo. Actually, I don't know Professor Huo either, but I heard about Professor Huo from a friend's grandfather, and I have seen his photos, but I didn't expect to see his photos here. Wu Tian said this deliberately. The purpose is to attract the uncle's attention. He could see from the intimacy between the uncle and Professor Huo Zhenlin in the photo that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and it was definitely not as enmity as he just said.
The middle-aged uncle looked at Wu Tian's back from behind, and couldn't help asking, "Who is your friend's grandfather?" β
"Zhou Chenghai. Uncle, do you know each other? Wu Tian stopped when he came out of the outhouse, looked back at the middle-aged uncle and asked.
"Zhou Chenghai?" The middle-aged uncle had a shocked expression on his face when he heard it, his eyes looked straight at Wu Tian, he was expressionless just now. At this time, he couldn't hide the strangeness in his heart, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Wu Tian's hand tightly, and asked, "Which Zhou Chenghai?" What did he do before? β
Wu Tian tilted his head and pretended to think about it. Then he said, "I heard that I used to be a deputy minister of health, but now I am retired." When I went to see my friend the other day, it was already terminal cancer. Received treatment at the General Hospital. At that time, he mentioned Professor Huo, and also mentioned that Professor Huo presided over a project during his lifetime. He said that if Professor Huo was still there. Maybe there is still a way forward for his illness. In short, a lot was said. β
After listening to Wu Tian's words, the middle-aged uncle looked at Wu Tian blankly, and his hands let go of Wu Tian, and naturally drooped on both sides of his body, looking as if he had been pointed.
"Uncle, are you alright?" Wu Tian pretended to look at the other party strangely and asked, and then continued to walk out. At the same time, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movements behind him.
Walk? He didn't want to just leave. Judging from the intimacy between the uncle and Professor Huo Zhenlin, maybe the two were once comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, and this barbecue uncle is also a master who is deeply hidden. Maybe tonight from this middle-aged uncle, I can find some secrets about Project X.
Due to the extreme secrecy of Project X back then, especially after the project was stopped, the R&D team was temporarily disbanded, and all the information was in the hands of Professor Huo Zhenlin alone, after Professor Huo Zhenlin's death, no one knew where he put those materials and actual records, and there was not even a list of R&D personnel for Project X. Professor Huo Zhenlin is worthy of being an old man and knows how to keep secrets and prevent them from leaking out.
Wu Tian walked forward step by step, his right foot had already stepped out of the threshold, as long as his left heel came out, he would be out of the house. If he really came out of this house, then he wouldn't want to ask anything from the mouth of this middle-aged uncle in the future.
Just when Wu Tian secretly regretted that he shouldn't have mentioned Professor Huo Zhenlin so early, he should have been familiar with his uncle, and then slowly infiltrated to inquire about the news, his back swinging arm was suddenly grabbed from behind. Wu Tian was happy in his heart, and he didn't need to look to know who it was. Because there was only one person in the room.
Wu Tian adjusted his mood, turned his head and looked at the other party strangely, it was okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, he was startled, and saw that the middle-aged uncle's eyes were red, as if he was going to cry. Or just set him up on the stove and roasted him?
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Wu Tian asked. The middle-aged uncle, who was still in good spirits just now, now looks depressed, and suddenly seems to be a teenager old, and then Wu Tiancai found that the uncle already has white hair on his head, and there are quite a few of them.
"No, nothing, just remembering something from the past." The middle-aged uncle took a deep breath, then looked up at Wu Tian and said, "Come, come in, let's go in and talk." After speaking, he pulled Wu Tian and walked to the back room. seems to have forgotten about jì, it was him just now, and he ordered Wu Tian to expel the guest, and he couldn't wait to beat Wu Tian out with a stick.
The uncle's strength was very strong, but Wu Tian hadn't moved yet, so he just pulled Wu Tian away.
When he came to the back room, the uncle asked Wu Tian to sit down, then poured a glass of water for Wu Tian, and said, "I offended a lot just now, please forgive me." β
"Uncle, look at what you said, if you hadn't asked me to call, I wouldn't know how to contact my friends now. You also know that it is too difficult to borrow a mobile phone from someone to make a phone call, and everyone thinks it is a scammer. Alas. Wu Tian sighed, then took a sip of water from the cup, and when he put down the cup, he looked at the middle-aged uncle strangely and asked, "Uncle, what happened to you just now?" What is the relationship between you and Professor Huo? When he is mentioned. You look angry and sad and confuse me. β
"Don't talk about me yet." The middle-aged uncle said to Wu Tian, "You first tell me about Minister Zhou's current situation." β
Wu Tian knew that the uncle definitely didn't just want to know Zhou Chenghai's situation, this was to test whether what he just said was true or false. However, this is not difficult for Wu Tian, fortunately, Wu Tian went to the General Hospital with Hao Jun a few days ago for the sake of Professor Huo Zhenlin, met Zhou Chenghai, and chatted for a while. Otherwise, I was really kicked out by the uncle in front of me today.
"The last time I saw Grandpa Zhou with my friend, he was in very bad health, he was going to have surgery that afternoon, and my friend and I went in the morning. When I went, Grandpa Zhou was resting with his eyes closed, and when he talked about Professor Huo Zhenlin later, he opened his eyes and said something to us. Major General Zhou Qiming, who is also the son of Grandpa Zhou, told us that the cancer cells are spreading very badly. People have become confused. But when Professor Huo Zhenlin was mentioned, Grandpa Zhou's mind seemed unusually clear, and his spirit seemed to be much better all of a sudden. I wasn't there for too long because I had to have surgery. And then it came out. Wu Tian said to the middle-aged uncle.
"Why did you mention Professor Huo Zhenlin in front of Minister Zhou?" The middle-aged uncle asked strangely.
"To be honest, I knew that Professor Huo Zhenlin had a good relationship with Minister Zhou, so I went with my friends to inquire about some things."
"What's the matter?"
"Plan X!" Wu Tian said seriously. At the same time, he paid attention to the expression on the face of the middle-aged uncle.
Sure enough, Wu Tian was not disappointed. I saw that the middle-aged uncle was surprised at first, feeling incredible, and then looked at Wu Tian vigilantly. The expressions on his face changed rapidly, and dozens of expressions flashed at once, some of which Wu Tian could read, and some that Wu Tian couldn't, in short, it was very complicated.
Seeing that the middle-aged uncle did not speak, Wu Tian continued, "Actually, I am engaged in medicinal chemistry, and I have been researching a project in my hand for several years. Later, I found Minister Zhou and wanted to learn about the situation from Minister Zhou. Recently, I found that the members of my R&D team have been targeted by many pharmaceutical companies, both domestic and foreign. Later, I found out that they were also running for Plan X, I was very strange, because I didn't have much information about Plan X in my hands, and later in further investigation, I found that it was because I bought the original Wanqing Building, that is, the place where Professor Huo Zhenlin carried out Plan X, they thought that I bought Wanqing Building and got the information of Professor Huo Zhenlin's Plan X, so they started on my R&D team. For this matter, I was exhausted, and I wanted to come out to relax, but no, I didn't expect to fall on my heels, lose my phone and wallet, and finally get lost. Alas. Wu Tian sighed and shook his head, while paying attention to the middle-aged uncle's reaction with the rest of his eyes.
The middle-aged uncle had been listening carefully to Wu Tian's story, and after Wu Tian finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then asked Wu Tian, "You bought Wanqing Mansion?" β
"Yes." Wu Tian nodded and said, "But now it has been renamed, it is called Tianzheng Building, which is taken from heaven and earth and has its own righteousness." β
"A pharmaceutical company?" The middle-aged uncle asked again.
"Hehe, it's a pharmaceutical company, but it's only such a lonely building, and there is no factory or production line." Wu Tian said with a smile, "It's not so much a pharmaceutical company as a research institute." Because I bought Wanqing Building, I didn't want to open a pharmaceutical company, but I took a fancy to the equipment and R&D center there, where there was a qiΔ I needed, and there was such a place, and I didn't have to go to Zhangluo by myself. I just wanted to do my own research. Actually, I used to be from another pharmaceutical company, but my project was stopped for various reasons, but I was full of confidence in this project, so I quit my job and came out to set up my own business, and at the same time, I also brought out this project and all the members of the original R&D team to continue the previous research. I'm not a businessman, I just want to have my own environment, not at the mercy of anyone, and concentrate on research. Immediately afterwards, Wu Tian told the middle-aged uncle about some of the situation of Project A, and even told the middle-aged uncle about some things that were originally confidential, especially the content of the topic that had been publicized in recent months.
It didn't take long for the middle-aged uncle to be driven by Wu Tian, and the original listener began to gradually participate and asked some very professional questions.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. The questions asked by middle-aged uncles are quite tricky, often going straight to the point, and many things are content that has never been published outside, but once published, it will cause a sensation. But in this room, the two of them said it word by word. (To be continued......)
