No one knew better than he what was in that place. It was his only weakness in the world, or rather, the only person he cared about.
The moment he realized there was a problem, he made several phone calls. Then his men attacked the SWAT team on the street, trying to rescue those people, because his daughter was likely among them.
The SWAT team was caught off guard at first. When they realized what was happening, they immediately notified the police station, and a shootout erupted on the street.
At first, they actually succeeded. A group of researchers was escorted away by them, but they still kept a close eye on the remaining people, seemingly wanting to capture them. Only when the police reinforcements arrived did they reluctantly leave.
Ling Chengyue, having to escort Xing Yuan home, did not participate in this rescue operation. Upon receiving the news, she immediately rushed back to the police station.
"How is it? What are the casualties?" Ling Chengyue asked urgently.
Jing Hua said grimly, "Thirteen dead, five seriously injured, three lightly injured."
"Hiss! Are they crazy?" Ling Chengyue asked angrily.
The departure of companions she had worked with day in and day out, even though she had been mentally prepared for it, inevitably brought her sorrow.
"Yes! But this also proves one thing: this is a big fish." Jing Hua patted Ling Chengyue's shoulder.
"Captain Ling did a good job! Whether it's to honor their sacrifice or to help the people eradicate this tumor, we must thoroughly investigate what secrets they are hiding."
"The strange little girl you mentioned has been sent for autopsy. You said there might be others there, but she's still helping you, so we don't need to worry about her for now. Let's go interrogate the people from the underground research institute first!" Jing Hua said as they walked.
"Okay!"
When the two of them sat down in the interrogation room, others had already identified most of the people there.
Most of the people in the underground research institute were not fit to be seen. They had committed murder or were explicitly banned due to their extremely evil theories. Yet, these people were gathered by Wang Yu Bei for some unknown research.
Initially, no one was willing to confess or reveal anything about the research institute. They seemed to believe they would leave unharmed.
It wasn't until their records were presented to them, and they were enumerated their crimes and the punishments they deserved, that some began to waver.
Among them, a man named Wang Hui, who had committed a capital offense, was the first to confess in exchange for a reduced sentence.
"I am Wang Yu Bei's cousin. Although he always says he has no relatives, there are a few like me with whom he has a poor relationship.
I've loved chemistry since I was a child. If it weren't for someone suddenly barging in and ruining my experimental results during a previous experiment, I wouldn't have impulsively killed that person. I did some inhumane experiments afterward, but wasn't that a matter of circumstances? Making use of waste!"
"Confess honestly, what exactly were you researching?"
"My cousin was researching genetics. But one of his daughters had an accident during an experiment and became a grotesque sight.
I don't know what happened. My cousin personally put her on the experimental table, but later he felt so heartbroken for the child that he wanted to spend all his fortune to cure her. But it was no use!
What else could we research? They said they provided us with an independent research facility, but in reality, all we could research was genetics. We had to find a way to restore his daughter to normal. Later, some of us regretted it and wanted to leave, but we couldn't.
That bastard went completely mad. Honestly, I should thank you. Otherwise, I would have been stuck there for a lifetime. I know his personality. Once his daughter dies, we would all be buried with her." Wang Hui said indifferently, without much emotional fluctuation.
"Those guys still thought he would save them! The only person he wanted to save was that one."
Ling Chengyue listened patiently until Wang Hui finished speaking, then calmly asked, "You mentioned Wang Yu Bei's biological daughter, is she the one lying in that incubator?"
"Yes!" Wang Hui nodded, a look of disgust on his face. "Besides that monster, are there any other non-human beings in our research institute?"
Seeing that no other important information could be obtained, Jing Hua stood up and said gently, "Thank you for your cooperation. We will relay your request."
As they left the interrogation room, Jing Hua looked at Ling Chengyue, who seemed off, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you think of something?"
Ling Chengyue nodded. "When I arrived, that child was already dead. I suspect someone, fearing that we would threaten Wang Yu Bei's position by focusing on that child, silenced her beforehand.
If Wang Hui is to be believed, Wang Yu Bei, though not a good person, is at least a good father. So, it's not impossible for him to make concessions to save his daughter."
"Indeed. However, we'll have to wait for the autopsy results to see if we can find any clues!" Jing Hua nodded in agreement.
Wang Yu Bei was pacing frantically, but he knew his own limitations. He couldn't infiltrate the police station. Although there were some people he knew within the police force, their positions were limited. Moreover, the high-ranking person he had painstakingly recruited some time ago had exposed himself by doing something foolish and was immediately brought down.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses recently. In his desperation, Wang Yu Bei actually called Xing Yuan.
"Can you do me a favor?" Wang Yu Bei's tone was humble.
Xing Yuan knew exactly what he wanted her to do and replied decisively, "No time!"
"Please, I really can't think of any other way. If you're willing to help me, I'll do anything."
Xing Yuan calmly exposed the truth, "I'm not deaf. I heard the commotion outside. I warned you to hide well. Now, how do you expect me to help you?"
Sensing a softening in Xing Yuan's attitude, Wang Yu Bei quickly said, "I know you have a high position in the organization. You must have a way to get a batch of weapons."
"You still want to storm the place?" Xing Yuan raised an eyebrow, impressed by his courage. This wasn't the only police station. Even if they managed to break in, the end result would still be being surrounded.
"They are forcing me. If you're unwilling, don't blame me for exposing you. Believe me, for Xiao Sheng, my only child, I can and will do anything."
Xing Yuan narrowed her eyes and said word by word, "Are you threatening me?"
