In the gymnasium on the 80th floor of the Edge Building, Dong Dong is playing batting in front of a baseball machine.

Chu Nanyi walked in the door, stroked his bangs, and said coquettishly: "Sister Dong, come on, I have a surprise for you." ”

"What?" Knock wiped his sweat and walked with him.

The two went to the open-air terrace.

From here, you can see directly at the entrance of the Edge Building, which has been transformed into a fantastic and gorgeous world.

The entrance of the building is full of clusters of roses, all of which are very expensive blue enchantresse varieties, each of which costs hundreds of monthly coins, and if you count them, you will find exactly 999 flowers.

The blue enchantress is stacked together to form a love pattern, each of which exudes a romantic atmosphere against the backdrop of the streamer, and even the rain in the air is reflected into blue rain, forming a blue ocean.

Chu Nanyi took off the blue enchantress in his chest pocket and offered it to Dong Dong's hands, his eyes full of sincere and confident colors: "Counting this one, there are a total of 1,000 blue enchantresses here, it symbolizes my unchanging love for Sister Dong for thousands of years!" Yes! You're an angel, and you'll never forget it in my life—"

"Boom!" Knock Knock kicked him between the legs.

Chu Nanyi covered little Chu Nanyi and fell to the ground and let out a tragic rooster crow.

Dong Dong carried a baseball bat and scolded and left: "There is a problem!" If you have too much money to spend, when KK comes back, you give him the latest 90 series graphics card, don't go crazy here. ”

Chu Nanyi was in pain and happy, and made an OK gesture.

Edge Chief's Office.

Su Mo stood in front of the window and looked at the rain curtain, and dialed a number: "Dude, how are you doing lately?" ”

Ivan's voice came from the other side: "It's you." What's wrong? ”

Su Mo smiled and said, "Help me do something." You can pay back the bet we made last time. ”

Ivan: "After not looking for me for so long, I thought you had forgotten about it." Say, what can I do for you? ”

Sumo: "The night after tomorrow, Lucio will go to Du Chuan's restaurant for dinner with the people from Songzuo Medical. You go eavesdrop on their conversations and help me get some live footage back. ”

Ivan's tone was strange: "Lucio? You're talking about Lucio Ribetong? The member and candidate for the current city council? ”

Sumer: "Yes, it's him. ”

Ivan's voice became louder: "Dude, what's wrong with you?" I'm a guy from the authorities! You and I are blatantly conspiring to eavesdrop on the secrets of the conversations of the authorities' dignitaries? With this phone call, I can report you right away! ”

Su Mo said lazily: "If you ignore our agreement and report me with a dead face, then you can go." It's like there's no backstage~"

"I'll bet you on May coins, you report it today, and Schenkov will press down your report letter tomorrow and throw it in the shredder, and nothing will happen."

Ivan was speechless when he heard it: "You now have backstage support, you are really capable, and you have become so confident in even speaking." ”

Su Mo: "Hmm, isn't this the world like this?" Those with a background eat meat, and those without a background are beaten. ”

Ivan: "Listen, let's talk." I owe you something, yes, but isn't it too much for you to ask me to be the person on the city council? ”

Su Mo said lightly: "Is it excessive? I don't think so. I didn't ask you to kill Lucio, I just wanted to hear what he had to say to Songzo Medical. ”

"If they don't have a ghost in their hearts and the conversation is normal, nothing will happen. When you're done, we're done. ”

"But if there is any transaction between them that harms the public interest, you are doing a great thing for Crescent City by bringing the information out. This is in line with the justice of your heart, right? Dear Riot Captain, ”

These words made Ivan hesitate, and after a long time he asked, "Why do you have to let me do this?" You can't do it yourself? ”

Su Mo said helplessly: "I really can't do it." Du Chuan Restaurant is in the central area of the civic city, the security measures are very strict, and it is also covered with a very advanced anti-electronic detection system, and it is very risky for me to do this. ”

"But it's convenient for you. As you, you can freely enter and exit all areas of the Civic Center without raising any suspicion. ”

Ivan sighed heavily: "Hey, I shouldn't have gambled with you on the day after tomorrow to eavesdrop on and record the conversation between Lucio and Songzo Medical." That's it, it's decided? ”

Su Mo: "It's decided, we'll finish it." ”

Ivan: "Got it, wait for news." ”

Sumer: "See you later." ”

Su Mo hung up the phone and looked out the window at the rain curtain.

"Old Lu, I usually am greedy for so many charity funds, it's time to explode some gold coins."

If the lakeside business district is a bustling commercial area for the public, you can get the most luxurious enjoyment if you have money, and you can come to join in the excitement if you don't have money.

Civic centers are the domain of the powerful, and everything is well organized and strictly regulated.

The streets here are manned 24 hours a day, and anyone who enters or leaves is questioned and checked.

The Hawkeye drone of the Public Security Bureau flew overhead, covering the entire airspace, searching for all unidentified and unauthorized aircraft.

In the event of an emergency, there is also a municipal garrison stationed in the vicinity under the city council, which is dedicated to protecting the safety of the authorities' dignitaries.

Located in the heart of the Civic Center, Du Chuan Restaurant integrates catering, banqueting, accommodation and other services, and is specially designed to receive government dignitaries and elite business people.

At nightfall, a convoy slowly stopped at the door of Du Chuan's restaurant.

Accompanied by the black-clad bodyguards, Lucio, the founder of the Ribeton Foundation, and "Tsukasa Katsumura", the president of Matsuzo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., got out of the car and greeted each other and walked inside, talking and laughing at each other.

One of these two people is a new dignitary of the authorities, and the other is a leader in the medical field of Crescent City, Du Chuan Restaurant attaches great importance to this, and specially dispatches elite senior security personnel to be stationed nearby.

The rain in Crescent City has been falling for several days, and it hasn't stopped tonight, with security guards walking back and forth in the rain in raincoats, meticulously guarding against any danger that may arise.

At this moment, two beams of light tore through the rain curtain, and a car drove from the far side of the street.

A security guard's mechanical prosthetic eye flashed with an arc of light, as if he had discovered something, and reported to the communication system: "Tower, be on alert, recognize the prosthetic implant approaching." ”

After a while, a reply came from the communication system: "Seven, it's time for you to upgrade your prosthetic eye, can't you see the license plate clearly?" It was Captain Ivan's car in the fourth class of anti-riot. ”

The sedan stopped at the door of Du Chuan's restaurant, and Ivan, dressed in black, stepped out of the driver's seat.

The security personnel stepped forward and greeted respectfully: "Captain Ivan." ”

Ivan snorted: "I'll talk to someone about things." ”

The security personnel didn't ask him who he was looking for, neither dared to ask nor was qualified to ask, and directly greeted him inside: "Please." ”

Ivan walked in the door, the heating was blowing in his face, and in addition to the various designer furniture, the splendid lobby could also see many high-tech security equipment.

The well-dressed waiters look thin, but they are actually trained in secret security and are very skilled.

To enter the restaurant, you have to go through two security checks, and first go through the iris and fingerprint recognition comparison information database to confirm that the person who came is the person, not identity theft.

Then check that the guests are not equipped with weapons, or any hidden illegal devices, such as bugs.

Ivan successfully passed through the first security check.

"Drip-drip-"

An alarm was triggered at the second security checkpoint.

Ivan is a prosthetic implanter with a large number of aggressive prosthetic bodies that are recognized as weapons by security equipment.

But the security personnel did not say anything more and did not take any further measures.

You can't let Ivan dismantle the prosthetic body and start again, right?

He is the captain of the anti-riot team, and he can even enter the office of the city council speaker casually, how dare the small Du Chuan restaurant waste his time, and the store still wants to open.

The security guard took the initiative to turn off the alarm and smiled at Ivan: "Don't worry about it, you just go inside." ”

Ivan casually asked, "I just saw Mr. Lucio's car on the road, and he is also here?" ”

The security officer replied without hesitation: "Yes, in Box No. 1 on the 51st floor, are you looking for him?" ”

Ivan: "No, I just saw it, just ask." ”

Security Officer: "Okay, please. ”

Ivan entered the elevator and came to the 51st floor.

The elevator doors open.

There were two black-clad bodyguards standing outside the door, and several bodyguards patrolling in the corridor could be seen, occupying the entire floor.

The black-clothed bodyguard recognized the famous anti-riot captain and nodded respectfully to Ivan.

"Wrong." Ivan pressed back to the higher floors and disappeared from the bodyguards' view.

He thought back to the scene just now and felt a little puzzled.

Although Lucio and Katsumura are both elites, it is understandable to come to the Du Chuan restaurant to meet and discuss things.

But they just talk, why do you bring so many bodyguards to block the floor?

Isn't it important to talk about things?

Ivan came to the rooftop with doubts.

The night wind whistles and hunts rattle, mixed with the hustle and bustle of the city.

At night, dressed in black, he blends into his surroundings like a ghost, as if he has become one with the night.

He walked to the edge of the roof and put his hand on it.

Silently, the artificial skin of his fingertips cracked, revealing the powerful suction cups inside, which were firmly attached to the wall.

At the same time, his prosthetic vision arcs staggered and he entered night vision mode, and his vision became clear and bright.

He flipped over the outer wall of the building, his weight perfectly distributed on the suction cups between his fingers, clinging to the wall like a shadow, and began to climb the 51st floor below.

High in the sky, the wind is unpredictable, and it's a rainy night, and the combination of wind and rain makes the climb more difficult than usual.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind struck, and Ivan's body shook uncontrollably in the convection of the wind vortex.

He felt the grip of the suction cup reach its limit, and he could only try to keep his balance and climb sideways, turning to the other side of the wall.

The room next to it happened to be lit, and he peered in as he climbed through the window.

A middle-aged fat man with thinning hair is hugging a beautiful woman and kissing me in the room.

With the extraordinary hearing of the prosthetics, their conversations and heavy breathing can be heard through the window.

"Baby, you have to stay with me tonight."

"Director Li, isn't it good for us to be like this?"

"Baby, you don't want your husband to lose his job, do you?"

Ivan recognized that the man was the head of a department of the Public Security Bureau, and the woman was his subordinate secretary, both of whom were family members.

If this kind of thing is exposed, the media will have fun.

In normal times, Ivan really has to take care of things like this.

But he had other things on his side now, so he could only ignore these two for now.

Taking advantage of the slight weakening of the wind, Ivan seized the opportunity to quickly climb downward, and his movements were smooth, and soon he came to the edge of the 51st floor.

He was just about to approach the first meeting room where Lucio and the others were, when a searchlight beam enveloped him.

The beam came from the air and was emitted by an AWACS drone on the way.

Almost at the same time, Ivan's internal energy supply core was rapidly activated, and the "Dreadnought Level 1" electronic countermeasures unit was activated at full power.

The beam of the early warning drone swept over Ivan's body with electromagnetic rays, but the warning light remained green throughout the whole process, without the slightest change.

At this time, in the early warning monitoring center, there was no one in the feedback screen seen by the staff on duty, and only the empty wall could be seen.

The AWACS drone quickly left and flew in other directions.

Ivan quietly wiped the rain from his face and crawled beside the floor-to-ceiling window.

He poked a finger into the edge of the window, the fingertip suction cup retracted inside, and a high-precision covert camera popped out.

Compared with blood code carriers and brain modifiers, the most convenient thing about prosthetic implanters is that the parts on their bodies can be replaced at any time as needed.

Components like cameras, Ivan, as a front-line combatant, would not consider carrying them in normal times.

After all, the space in the human body is limited, and if you have anything, it means that there are fewer other things that can be installed.

For the people of the four anti-riot lessons, even a screw should be used to enhance the efficiency of killing.

But today, in order to help Su Mo steal information, Ivan specially dismantled some weapon components on his hands and replaced the camera.

The security equipment in Du Chuan's restaurant is not top-level military equipment, and at most it can only detect that Ivan has a prosthesis on his body, and it is impossible to find out the specific component model.

As Ivan himself is a heavy prosthetic implanter, security personnel must be surprised by the alarm triggered by the prosthesis, and will not even notice the small covert camera inside his body.

Ivan connected the camera to the prosthetic eye and adjusted the angle through the real-time observation of the footage to find the sharpest focus position.

At the same time, the sound system was running at full power, and the sound in the room was clearly heard through the windows.

Now, the entire room is almost completely open to Ivan, and every move and action of the people inside is recorded.

"Councillor Lucio, please be seated."

"Mr. Katsumura, please first."

In the No. 1 box on the 51st floor of Du Chuan Restaurant, Lucio and Katsumura Tsukasa each brought two deputies and were polite to each other at the wine table.

Tsukasa Katsumura raised the sake in his glass, drank it all, and said with a smile: "I heard from a friend that you are the first candidate for the ruling committee to be elected next year. ”

"If you can sit in that position, you're really on your way to the top."

Lucio smiled heartily, drank his wine, put a hand to his heart and said, "Thanks to the care of the big bosses, you are willing to push me out to be the representative of this scene." ”

"No matter what position I move up to in the future, I will always represent your interests."

Katsumura nodded and said with a smile, "I'm so pleased that you can be so sober." In the past, there were many people who couldn't recognize their position, thinking that their status was won by themselves, and their fate was often not good. ”

"Those who disregard the interests of the collective will not go far." Lucio poured Katsumura another glass of wine, and his tone became serious, "Let's talk about business." I heard that Songzuo Medical recently released a new drug? Specializing in asthma? ”

Tsukasa Katsumura: "Yes, our researchers have identified the multi-gene fragment that induces asthma in humans, and developed a special gene-targeted drug, which is internally codenamed "Stoppering No. 1". ”

Lucio came to be interested: "Is it a cure?" ”

Tsukasa Katsumura smiled, "Radical cure." Asthma No. 1 can correct the mutant base sequence in the target cells, and completely cure the stubborn disease of asthma from the root, with a recurrence rate of less than 0.01%. ”

"Oh? Tens of millions of people around the world suffer from asthma, which is a great feat. Lucio touched his chin and asked with interest, "Is it possible to develop in batches?" How much does the medication cost? ”

Tsukasa Katsumura: "It's already ready for industrial production. All kinds of costs are evenly shared, and each medicine only costs more than 5,000 yuan a month, which ordinary people can afford. ”

He paused at this point, drank a glass of sake, and then changed his words and said meaningfully: "But we are not ready to put the Stopping Spirit 1 into actual production. ”

Lucio blinked: "The reason?" ”

Tsukasa Katsumura smiled mysteriously: "If this medicine is put on the market, I will be the sinner of the entire Matsuzo Medical." ”

Lucio was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

Tsukasa Katsumura: "Let's just talk about Crescent City, there are about 1.6 million asthma patients, and the annual cost of treatment for each of them is about 6,000 monthly yuan, which can bring 9.6 billion yuan to the local medical industry, and Matsusa Medical accounts for one-third of them. ”

"If the Soul No. 1 is put on the market, all the 1.6 million people will be cured, and they will no longer have to spend money in the future. You say, do I want to apologize to the princes of Songzuo Medical? ”

Lucio patted his head and laughed: "It makes sense, the matter of making money still has to be trickled up, and you all rely on those patients to support you." ”

Tsukasa Katsumura licked the wine stains off his lips and said with great interest, "Of course, we must also make good use of such a great achievement." ”

"I have discussed with you, we will use part of the technology of Stop-Breath No. 1 to develop a new asthma drug, let's call it "Stop-Breathing No. 2", the effect of No. 2 will be better than other drugs on the market."

Lucio's tone was playful: "I guess there's a 'but' here." ”

"But-" Tsukasa Katsumura laughed cooperatively, "Asthma Arrest II can subtly alter the patient's pathology, causing the effects of other asthma medications to gradually weaken on them until they disappear, and they will only be able to take Asthma Arrest II for the rest of their lives." ”

Lucio gasped, "You're saying it's addictive?" ”

Katsumura patted Lucio's hand and said in a soft tone: "In the medical industry, it is called dependence, and many drugs will have dependence, which is normal. ”

Lucio: "But the marketing approval of this drug will be very strict. ”

Tsukasa Katsumura: "That's right, so you need to lobby with the city council to make sure that the approval of the Roaring Spirit II can be approved as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Lucio's uncertain gaze, Katsumura Tsukasa smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, the one given to you has already been prepared." ”

"We'll release some of the rumors about Stopping Spirit 1 to get the public's attention, and then you set up a special project in the name of the Foundation."

"Trust me, there will be countless people donating to this project. When the time comes, you will make charitable donations to Songzuo Medical in the name of supporting research and development. ”

"Anyway, the cost of research and development is our internal decision, the charity fund will have a lot of room for operation, and the net profit generated in it will be given to Libeitong, and how to divide it in the future is your internal matter, and we will not interfere."

"When the time is almost up, we will announce that the research and development of Halting Ling No. 1 has failed, but if we have developed No. 2, which has an effect that exceeds the drugs on the market, we can give the public a beautiful answer."

Lucio's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded and said: "The feasibility is very high, the Ribethon Foundation has taken over many similar projects, and I will personally handle this matter if there has never been a problem." ”

"As for drug addiction. Ahem, I mean, drug dependence, the pressure of public opinion on this matter, you better be prepared. ”

Tsukasa Katsumura said confidently: "Don't worry, the money for the major media has been prepared for a long time, and you won't see this on the hot search." ”

Lucio's face was overjoyed, and he picked up his full wine glass and said, "Then I'll start by saying that the cooperation is pleasant." ”

Katsumura picked up the wine, clinked glasses with him, and drank it all.

The laughter of the two echoed in the box.

Outside the window, Ivan's head, who had eavesdropped on all this, was about to smoke.

Although he has an extraordinary status and is a well-known anti-riot captain, he is a simple person in terms of interpersonal relationships and life.

The authorities did not want him to intervene in the political situation, and he never thought of getting involved in the political situation, so he only shouldered the responsibility of guarding Crescent City.

He had always felt that the evil of Crescent City came from the mob.

Just eliminate those who dare to cross the red line of the law, and deter the small, and the city will be better.

But he found that he was thinking too simply.

Crescent City's evils are not limited to the thugs.

These well-dressed businessmen and politicians, who play with the lives of millions of people while talking and laughing, are full of their own interests and those of the consortium, and are more vicious than those border thugs.

If he hadn't been sane, he would have wanted to break through the window and give each of these two well-dressed beasts a shot.

Lucio and Katsumura agreed that the rest of the conversation would be mainly small talk, and there would be no other useful information until the end of the session.

Ivan finished recording, stored the file data in the center of the internal system, and left the Du Chuan restaurant under the cover of darkness.

He returned to his car and called Su Mo: "I got what you wanted, and there are some horrific things in it." ”

Su Mo's tone was very calm, as if he had expected it a long time ago: "Well, send it to me." ”

Ivan said in a deep voice: "Send it to you, but you have to assure me that these moths will get the punishment they deserve." ”

Su Mo smiled slightly and said without hesitation, "Of course, I promise you. ”
