If judging by appearances, his background, good upbringing, and military service were indeed attractive—provided one ignored the mockery in his eyes: “May I ask who submitted this report?”
Jin Hua remained silent.
“Ten years ago, a scientist named Ning Yu from the White Eagle Base laboratory went missing. Indications suggested he likely escaped back to his home country. Although the White Eagle Base updated all supervision measures afterward, the pursuit of Dr. Ning Yu was never successful. We once concluded he was dead.”
Leaning forward slightly, Romuel pointed at the report under Jin Hua’s hand and smiled: “If this document was submitted by Ning Yu, please don’t believe a single word. The White Eagle Base has hundreds of top-tier scientists like Ning Yu. If the so-called ultimate vaccine truly existed, they would have mass-produced it ten years ago, selling it alongside Coca-Cola and condoms.”
A silence enveloped the room, the air suddenly feeling like suffocating gel.
General Zheng picked up his tea mug and slowly asked, “Then why does your country want the antibody carrier?”
A strange gleam suddenly emerged in Romuel’s azure eyes: “Why?”
He seemed to be reminiscing about a delicacy with his tongue tip, and when he spoke again, it was with a lingering expression:
“Twenty years ago, Noah Chong was six years old and came to me as a legal brother. Ten years later, after his mother committed suicide by hanging and family relations were terminated, he became my future spouse, gaining free movement rights in the White Eagle Base with his Omega status.”
“Now you ask me why I still want the antibody carrier… Do you really want me to tell you in detail? Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
Zhou Rong suddenly stood up and approached, too quickly for others to stop him. He grabbed Romuel’s collar and punched him hard in the face!
Romuel spat out a bloody saliva and fiercely counterattacked. They instantly grappled, crashing into and destroying the solid wooden armchair.
The loud noise echoed in the spacious conference room. General Zheng and others changed expressions, standing up to stop them. Guards rushed to forcibly separate the two.
Zhou Rong violently broke free from the guards’ restraint, like a tiger released from its cage, and knocked Romuel down with a heavy punch!
