Gao Wu: I inherited the evil organization in the game

Chapter 609 They're all trying to harm me?! (Seeking monthly votes)
Li Hanyu blinked in confusion. Although she couldn't understand what they were saying, she could sense that Professor Zuo Bai had a deep bond with these people, a kind of tacit understanding.

She smiled politely at the group, then turned and walked into the secret passage, leaving Zuo Bai no choice but to follow.

The space inside the walls was so narrow it was suffocating.

It's less a passageway and more an unrepaired crevice left after the wall structure was violently hollowed out.

The width is barely enough for one person to pass through; anyone slightly overweight would probably get stuck.

All of that was fine, but what drove Zuo Bai crazy was that the secret passage was obviously hastily dug, with uneven sides, some parts protruding and some parts sunken, completely asymmetrical.

This is really driving people with OCD crazy.

Zuo Bai is not only obsessive-compulsive, but also a severe obsessive-compulsive and perfectionist.

He wished he could stop immediately and smooth the wall down, even if it meant using his fingernails.

He could only force himself to look away and stare intently at Li Hanyu's buttocks through the fabric. According to his estimation, it was the most symmetrical spot in the entire secret passage.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The body's tactile sensations, the distance of each stride, subtle changes in direction—all the perceived data is gathered into the mind.

"The secret passage has three sections, two above ground and one extending underground..."

He mentally mapped out the layout of the secret passage and realized that it was secretly connected to the villa next door.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared before their eyes, and Zuo Bai followed Li Hanyu out of the secret passage.

What comes into view is a bedroom that has been converted into a high-standard hospital room.

Cold white light poured down from the recessed light strips in the ceiling, illuminating the room in a stark white, devoid of any warmth.

The air was filled with a strong, pure smell of disinfectant, which masked the earthy smell from the passageway in the wall.

In the center of the room stood a huge fish tank, inside which a naked man was submerged.

Surrounding the fish tank are life support equipment and monitoring instruments, with multiple monitoring screens displaying real-time electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, and various physiological parameters.

Zuo Bai glanced lightly at the three naked women on the ground, the deliberately thickened soundproof walls, and the firmly locked door.

With Zuo Bai's intelligence, he could easily deduce most of Li Hanyu's current situation from the scene before him and the fragmented information he already knew.

"That's your son in the fish tank. He's in a deep coma."

He paused slightly, looking directly into Li Hanyu's eyes.

"Someone doesn't want him to wake up, and you... are being watched?"

Li Hanyu nodded, without making excuses or hiding anything.

Now that things have come to this point, if she succeeds, great; if not, she will die with her son.

Zuo Bai's expression was strange, and a dark, cold light flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "What a coincidence, this woman's situation is quite similar to mine."

This thought caused him to let out a barely audible sneer.

Of course, he would not feel any pity for Li Hanyu. If he had to express any emotion, he would wish that the mother and son would die a horrible death.

He stopped looking at Li Hanyu and walked towards the large, metallic-looking medical workbench next to the fish tank.

On the table, various surgical instruments, minimally invasive implantation devices, high-precision microsurgical arms, brain wave stimulators, etc., are neatly arranged and categorized, gleaming with the cool, amber color characteristic of high technology.

From craniotomy drills to nanoscale bio-adhesives, from intracranial pressure monitors to chip implantation calibrators, everything is available.

Clearly, these things were prepared in advance for the upcoming surgery.

It's impressive that Li Hanyu managed to prepare all of these things under someone else's watchful eye.

Zuo Bai was absolutely certain. He turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Li Hanyu's face, which was filled with anxiety and anticipation, and said softly:

"Tell me. How do you want me to wake him up?"

Li Hanyu took a deep breath, her voice trembling with extreme tension:

"A chip, a chip implanted in the brain!"

“I have consulted with doctors, and given my son’s current physical condition, the probability of him waking up naturally is extremely low, and conventional medical methods are completely useless.”

"Only by using an intracranial chip to reconstruct the brain circuits and the connection to consciousness can he be awakened."

Her speech became faster and more agitated:
"However, the surgery is extremely risky, and only if Professor Zuo Bai personally performs the surgery can it be successful."

Zuo Bai raised his eyelids slightly, catching the key information in Li Hanyu's words.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Consultation? Who did you consult?"

who is it?

Who is trying to harm me?!
Li Hanyu was taken aback by the question and blurted out:

"The immortality technology I consulted, the main person in charge of the laboratory, must be one of your favorite students, right?"

She tried hard to recall that name:

"Yes, it's your student Zhao Jingyi. She said with absolute certainty that only you..."

Zuo Bai's lips stiffened, and he almost doubted that he had misheard. He repeated, word by word:
"Zhao—Jing—Yi?!!"

Zuo Bai almost laughed out of anger, his anger mixed with a hint of grievance.

My mentor went through countless hardships to silence everyone, sparing your life the only one, and remotely promoted you to a high-ranking position, only to have you turn around and...

Although Zuo Baiye understood that [Fate] was definitely not something his student had found, but rather something this beautiful woman had found through some unknown means.

But tracing back to the source, Zhao Jingyi is also implicated.

What a coincidence! If you didn't know better, you'd think Zhao Jingyi was in cahoots with that group next door called [Destiny].

Seeing Zuo Bai's uncertain expression, Li Hanyu's heart also felt uneasy.

She said nervously:

"Professor Zuo Bai, you wouldn't... you wouldn't be unable to perform this surgery either, would you?"

Zuo Bai gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Yes, of course you can."

Li Hanyu had no choice but to believe it at this point. She sensed that there seemed to be some kind of story between Professor Zuo Bai and his female student, but she could only keep it to herself and dared not ask.

Zuo Bai took two deep breaths and looked at Li Hanyu:
"I need to make a phone call to my student before the surgery begins."

Li Hanyu: "Please go ahead."

Zuo Bai looked at Li Hanyu as if she were an idiot and held out his hand to her: "Give me your phone!"

Li Hanyu was filled with doubts, wondering why Zuo Bai didn't even have a cell phone.

But there was no time to think about it, so he quickly handed his phone over.

In reality, as a commodity, Zuo Bai conscientiously handed over his mobile phone immediately.

He then proactively granted the firewall access, allowing the emcee to hack into his intracranial chip, shut down his "network client," and uninstall his "network card." It wasn't that Zuo Bai was brain-dead; rather, he dared not make any underhanded moves in front of the emcee, as he was extremely wary of those stark white eyes.

Zuo Bai took the phone and quickly entered Zhao Jingyi's contact number.

beep...beep...

When the call connected, Zhao Jingyi was startled by the voice on the other end. She hadn't expected that this unfamiliar number was calling her tutor.

The call was transferred to a video call.

A few seconds later, Zhao Jingyi, dressed in a white lab coat, appeared on the screen, her face bearing her usual expression of awe.

Zuo Bai's anger subsided slightly, and he rationally refrained from pursuing Zhao Jingyi's responsibility.

His face hardened, and he asked in a deep voice:
"How's the lab doing lately? Have the large black cores been replenished?"

Zhao Jingyi answered truthfully:
"The lab is operating well. As instructed by my supervisor, I applied to the head of the lab for a replenishment of black nuclei. In addition, all parameters of the experimental subjects are stable, and after adjusting the protocol, the aberration probability has been reduced to 3%."

After briefly inquiring about the progress of a few projects, Zuo Bai naturally changed the subject:

"You've done a good job lately. I have some urgent business to attend to and can't get away from it for the time being, so it's inconvenient for me to go back to the company."

He paused for a moment and then gave the order:
"Okay, come to District Nine again in three days. I will send the specific coordinates to your email. There is a neural connection chip that I left behind there."

On the other end of the video call, Zhao Jingyi visibly straightened her back, and then her mentor calmly added:

"Once you retrieve it, immediately implant it into the 'Er-37 experimental embryo' for the next stage of 'incubation' testing."

The chip itself is in a dormant state. The implantation process can be performed according to the standard operating manual. Remember to carefully observe and record changes in the data.

Zuo Bai's words were very ordinary, just like a normal laboratory arrangement.

But only he himself knew what breathtaking and profound meaning was hidden within this seemingly ordinary instruction.

Zuo Bai was unsure if he could escape the clutches of fate, so the so-called "neural connection chip" was his last "resurrection card."

The instruction at this moment is the secret code to activate this "resurrection card".

Of course, he couldn't say it outright; he could only pretend it was an important but not that important task that required Zhao Jingyi to run errands herself.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jingyi had a slight suspicion, but she couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was.

She nodded with utmost reverence:

"Yes, mentor, I understand. I will process the coordinates on time after receiving them."

Zuo Bai responded expressionlessly, as if he had only given a trivial instruction:

"Manage the lab well and don't let me down."

After saying that, he cut off the video call without waiting for Zhao Jingyi to say anything more.

Zuo Bai casually tossed the phone back to Li Hanyu, whose expression was constantly changing and whose mind was filled with doubt.

Li Hanyu wasn't stupid; he naturally realized that the phone call had nothing to do with the current surgery, but he didn't dare to say anything and could only keep his doubts to himself.

Zuo Bai offered no explanation, and said coldly:

"Come on, let's implant a chip in your son."

Li Hanyu clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, as immense hope and even deeper unease clashed fiercely within her.

She watched as Zuo Bai walked towards the fish tank, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Professor Zuo Bai, what is the success rate of the surgery?"

Zuo Bai kept walking without turning around.

Only fools limited by their natural talents have a low success rate; when Zuo Bai makes a move, it's either zero or one hundred percent.

So is it zero or one hundred percent?

hehe--

He casually pulled over a cold metal chair from the side, stepped onto it, and looked down at Qian Huan in the fish tank as if he were looking down at a raw material waiting to be processed.

"Don't worry, with me personally taking care of it, your son will definitely wake up today."

Zuo Bai did not lie to Li Hanyu. He is a scientist and always seeks the truth.

As for how long he will live after waking up, that's another question.

It's just that Li Hanyu's question wasn't rigorous enough.

Li Hanyu's face immediately lit up with undisguised ecstasy, and then she heard Zuo Bai say coldly:
"Hand me the No. 3 drill bit, the No. 7 nano probe, and the Type B bio-adhesive."

Li Hanyu immediately ran to the medical table, frantically searching for the corresponding tools.

Zuo Bai took the drill bit, immediately supported Qian Huan's head with one hand, and without bothering to use any medical operating arm or microscope, started drilling wildly.

Li Hanyu was terrified by Zuo Bai's actions. Although she didn't understand medicine, she knew how delicate the chip implantation procedure was.

Normally, patients need to be firmly fixed on the operating table and operated with various high-precision instruments... How can you operate like this, standing on a chair, through the glass of a fish tank, and with only one hand?

The person is still soaking in the fish tank, how can they possibly get a foothold?
If your hand slips, your brain will be turned into a solid tofu pudding.

She looked at Zuo Bai's outstretched hand, at the drill bit gleaming with a cold light, and her heart almost stopped beating.

But now that things had come to this, she had no way out and could only tremble as she followed Zuo Bai's instructions, handing over the simplest surgical instruments one by one.

The moment the drill tip made contact with the skull, it produced a teeth-grinding grinding sound, and tiny bone fragments mixed with liquid were carried up by the drill!
Li Hanyu covered her mouth tightly to keep from screaming; she felt like her brain was about to shut down.

Is a 100% success rate really that straightforward?
Zuo Bai, however, was not nervous at all. He even dared to speak while operating the drill, his tone as casual as if he were chatting.

"Oh right, I forgot to ask you."

The buzzing of the drill became the background noise of his words.
"How did you find those people next door, and how did you 'invite' them to come to me?"

Li Hanyu's entire focus was on the drill bit; she watched with trepidation, her thoughts almost completely frozen.

She answered whatever Zuo Bai asked, having no time or energy to think of making up lies.

She had no interest in small talk, but she dared not refuse to answer Zuo Bai's question.

This is like a patient being wheeled into the operating room, and then the doctor makes demands of you. Would the family dare to refuse?

Don't doubt Zuo Bai's medical ethics; he's not a doctor, he's just a scientist.

It is well known that the more accomplished a scientist is, the lower their moral standards tend to be.

Yes, Zuo Bai is undoubtedly a top scientist.

Li Hanyu swallowed hard and said haltingly:
“I…I don’t know…I just asked Lou Duan…Lou Duan told me…he said…he said you would definitely invite me here tonight…”

Alright, case solved!
Another person has harmed me!
Zuo Bai's hands, controlling the drill bit, did not pause for a moment, precisely creating a perfect miniature bone window on the skull.

He continued his work, precisely inserting the nanoprobe through the bone window, but his voice deepened:

“Call him now and ask him how he ‘invited’ those people. I really want to know.”
