Half an hour later...

A man wearing a baseball cap and carrying a canvas bag looked up, shielding his eyes from the glaring sun.

He squinted and displayed a hint of enjoyment on his face.

"Really... still alive..."

It was only from this moment that Ning Shisan truly felt alive again.

He never expected that he, suffering from a terminal illness, could one day bask in the sunshine again.

And at this moment, his body felt unprecedentedly light, all the pain and illness disappeared as if he was back to his peak condition.

And this... was just from a shot given not long ago...

[Our company's employee benefits are actually quite good.

Once confirmed, treating a mere cancer shouldn't be difficult, and... it's reimbursed!]

Recalling what the mysterious person said before, he originally thought it was a joke, but unexpectedly, that person did have such power.

Unparalleled electronic technology, unheard-of medical techniques, and the orphanage's non-human unknown enemies...

This organization that forcibly recruited him...

What kind of divine entity is this...

Ning Shisan turned back to look at the Changqing Biological company's logo.

If they can effortlessly cure a terminal illness like his,

Then with their technical competence, Xiao Yue's artificial limbs shouldn't be a problem...

Sweeping away the previous malaise, his eyes became firm and sharp again.

"Xiao Yue, wait for me!"

He turned, hailed a taxi...

"Driver, to Su City International Exhibition Center!"

...

"Where is the person?"

"I... I don't know either, they were just here moments ago..."

Looking at the empty hospital bed and the distraught young nurse, Professor Zheng was not doing well.

The patient's indicators were showing signs of normality day by day, and this new cancer treatment seemed to be on the verge of its first successful case.

But then the test subject ran away without a sound...

Ran away...

Although the treatment process was almost complete and most of the medical data was already documented, the presence of the person wasn't that essential...

But at least give a heads-up!

I was still planning to draw two more tubes of blood for research!

"Have you checked the surveillance? How did the person leave without access authorization?"

Don't be fooled by the apparent lack of security personnel; Professor Zheng knew how heavily guarded the research lab was.

A while ago, a reporter tried to sneak into the lab.

He had just entered the main entrance when the cameras identified him as an intruder, and the security pinned him down immediately.

Anyone in the research zone couldn't enter or exit without top-level permission, not even a dog, never mind a human being.

"Checked, they left using face recognition all the way." A security guard said with a strange expression.

"What?" Professor Zheng was stunned.

The person actually had internal passage qualifications for the research center...

So, the departure must have been tacitly approved by the company's executives?

Considering the person was dispatched from above, and never revealed any personal information from beginning to end.

Could the executives be intentionally concealing their identity?

Also, recalling slightly, it seemed like just after receiving the tech application directive, the person was sent for treatment...

It always gave a bizarre feeling of having a carrot before digging a pit...

Just about to make a phone call to inquire upstairs, and as soon as he returned to his office upstairs, there was someone waiting for him.

"Mr. Tang?"

Tang Yun stood up with a smile, "Professor Zheng, I've been waiting for you."

"Mr. Tang, you could've just called me, no need to come over personally.

Have a seat, I'll brew some tea for you." Professor Zheng was very enthusiastic.

"Don't bother, Professor Zheng, I'll just tell you something and then leave."

"It's the least I could do, actually, I'm thinking of inviting Mr. Tang for a meal someday to properly express my gratitude!"

"Thank me? Thank me for what?" Tang Yun was puzzled.

"Of course, it's to thank you for looking after Xiao Wan!" Professor Zheng smiled warmly.

"You wouldn't believe how Xiao Wan has changed over the few months since I returned from the Northern Country.

Xiao Wan was somewhat timid and introverted before; now she's more confident and outgoing, and even started boxing.

I really don't know what magic you used, her energy and spirit are completely different now!"

"Uh..."

Seeing the grateful look on Professor Zheng's face, Tang Yun could only smile wryly.

Magic? What magic?

Love, it transforms people...

Lately, her little ancestor at home is also out early and back late, occasionally giggling at the phone.

Tang Yun, having been through this, could tell her precious cabbage was likely being taken from her...

I've been wanting to ask you, what kind of spell did your Zheng Wan cast on Tang Xiaoqi, to take her proud daughter in just a few days?

Initially intending to lend a colleague a helping hand, never thought she'd get her daughter involved...

However, seeing Zheng Wan as a good kid, Tang Yun didn't object to their children dating.

"Ha ha! Professor Zheng, inviting me for a meal is not urgent. Anyway, I estimate you will invite me sooner or later."

Tang Yun laughed and handed over something like a ticket.

"Today I'm here, specially to give you this."

"What is this?" Professor Zheng accepted it, looking puzzled.

"Tomorrow is the product launch event for Idol New Energy, this is the ticket."

"Uh..." Professor Zheng paused for a moment.

He certainly knew about Baiyeji and Idol New Energy, both were part of Gao Yuan's enterprises.

But... they're a car company doing a product launch, why would someone from a pharmaceutical research department go?

No connection whatsoever!

Seemingly noticing Professor Zheng's confusion, Tang Yun explained.

"It's said to involve an important strategic product release for the group, which will be closely related to the future of every department in the group.

So Chairman Gao hopes that the heads of every department can attend, myself included."

"Closely related to the future of every one of us?"

"Yes, I'm not too clear on the specifics, but since Chairman Gao instructed it, she must have her reasons."

"Alright, I understand." Professor Zheng nodded.

"Since the stuff has been delivered, I'll head back to work."

"I'll see you off."

"We're colleagues, no need to be so polite..." Tang Yun seemed a bit helpless.

But Professor Zheng still insisted on seeing her to the entrance of the institute.

"Hmm?"

Just as she walked out the door, Tang Yun saw from a distance in the parking lot a girl carrying a pink backpack, Xiao Yu, getting into a car with a young man.

The two seemed to be about to leave.

Out of curiosity about Xiao Yu, she looked at the young man twice.

"Oh?" Professor Zheng exclaimed with surprise now too, looking over a couple more times uncertainly, and then suddenly his expression turned a bit excited.

"Mr. Meng!"

He looked delighted and wanted to run over, but unfortunately, the car had already started, and the next moment it darted through Changqing Biological's gate and left directly.

"Sigh!" Professor Zheng could only look at the back of the car in lament.

Tang Yun walked over with curiosity.

"Professor Zheng, that young man just now... is he someone you know?"

"Not an acquaintance, a benefactor! He's Xiao Wan's lifesaver."

"Oh?" Tang Yun looked curious. "What's the story?"

Professor Zheng didn't hide it and gave a rough recount of how Meng Lang saved Zheng Wan.

"So that's it... You just mentioned, what's that young man's name?"

"Meng Lang, what's up?"

"Meng Lang... Meng Lang... this name, why does it sound familiar..."

Apparently, the name was quite distinctive.

Tang Yun only recalled for a moment when a sudden realization hit her.

That's it!

Su City, Meng Lang!

Isn't this the name that Tang Xiaoqi had searched during her first use of the company ERP, but found no information?

...

Destiny resembles an invisible web, weaving together the trajectory of each life.

And with a certain small butterfly constantly flapping its wings, the trajectory of many people's destinies gradually converged onto the same stage...

Next day.

Su City International Exhibition Center.

"Snap snap!" The venue was bustling with voices and occasionally flashing lights.

The release event venue, enough to accommodate a thousand people, was packed, including many well-known domestic and international media.

Even though a larger temporary venue had been arranged, the host clearly underestimated the enthusiasm of various attendees.

Many who weren't seated had to stand at the back of the hall.

However, the spirit remained undimmed.

Compared to those who didn't receive admission, they were already considered lucky.

The conference hadn't started yet, and various cameras and equipment were already set up.

Seeing such a scene, Iwazaki Hideyoshi couldn't help but frown.

"It's just an unknown automotive enterprise from Country Hua, yet it attracted so many industry giants?"

Looking through the front row casually, he saw many frequently televised automobile industry moguls.

Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, General Motors, Volkswagen, Tesla...

And those who came were not low-level executives either.

"Young Master Hideyoshi, you might not know, today's Idol New Energy, while not large in scale, has recently gained international fame as a rising star in the new energy automotive field thanks to the 'Bajie' in-car AI augmentation.

The product released this time supposedly includes a high-level intelligent driving system.

As you know, all countries are now focusing on the new energy vehicle industry, and even major traditional automotive enterprises have begun researching and transitioning to electrification.

Country Hua's strength in this field is formidable, and the domestic supply chain is the most complete.

So for the development of our Mitsubishi Group's automotive enterprises, we've specially dispatched an inspection team from the country, mainly to get the firsthand automotive intelligence solutions and insights from them.

Likely, these international peers are here with similar intents..."

The deputy of the inspection group explained to Iwazaki Hideyoshi, a faintly flattering expression on his face.

God knows why this highly sought-after candidate for the next family head traveled thousands of miles to Country Hua.

He even inexplicably took the position of head of the inspection team.

Claiming to have a career mindset, he doesn't care about the inspection team's content at all, acting as if he's just here to lend his name for prestige...

We're not brave enough to say, or to ask.

But such an opportunity to curry favor with the prince, he naturally wouldn't miss.

"Hmm! That Bajie... does sound a bit interesting."

Iwazaki Hideyoshi nodded, instantly piqued with interest.

However, during the conversation, he didn't notice that just diagonally behind him, a member of the inspection team in a suit was staring intently at his back.

Their eyes glinted with malicious intent...
