Chapter 278: Meeting
Seeing no better option, Long Yu agreed, "Alright, let's do that."
After making their decision, Long Yu carried Ling Yi and Yuan Rihui to the SUV.
Before leaving, Yao Ran checked the water in the tanker. There was still half a tank of water left. Seeing only a thin layer of rust on the tank and no contamination in the water, she stored the water tank in her space.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As Ling Yi and Yuan Rihui's conditions stabilized, it didn't take long for Yao Ran to treat their external wounds. Once done, the two of them continued on their journey to Long Yu's secret shelter.
Meanwhile, far away in Yucheng City, the senior officers of the Right Faction of Yao Security Company were holding a meeting.
Sitting in the main seat, Fu Zongshang looked at Yao Yuechuan in disbelief and asked, "Captain Yao, are you certain that Gao Shuwei's assassination target is Chairman Yao's biological granddaughter, Miss Yao Ran?"
Yao Yuechuan nodded and replied, "I'm very sure. Commander Fu, you know Chairman Yao personally raised me, so I have seen photos of his daughter before. This woman, Yao Ran, bears an 80% resemblance to Madam Yao."
"I understand that people can look alike, and our technology is advanced enough to alter appearances. However, no matter how sophisticated our methods are, we are not at the stage where we can change DNA without leaving traces."
he spoke, he handed a document to Fu Zongshang and added, "Commander Fu, this is the DNA test result personally conducted by Professor Shao."
Hearing this, Fu Zongshang turned to a middle-aged woman and asked, "Professor Shao, is this true?"
Shao Xinmin nodded, "Yes, it's true. I conducted the test myself."
Shao Xinmin is one of their top scientists in DNA studies. Despite being fifty years old, she was known for her sharp mind and unwavering integrity. She was also one of Chairman Yao's most trusted subordinates and friends.
Since Shao Xinmin had conducted the DNA test herself, Fu Zongshang didn't ask further questions. He picked up the DNA report and began reading. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became.
The DNA test had been conducted using Grandpa Yao's preserved blood cells and Yao Ran's hair, which Yao Yuechuan had stolen while she was holding him captive.
As Fu Zongshang's expression shifted while reading the report, the other senior officers exchanged glances.
A few seconds later, Fu Zongshang placed the report on the table. Turning to Yao Yuechuan, he asked, "Captain Yao, when can you bring the young miss back?"
At this question, Yao Yuechuan froze in his seat.
Noticing his hesitation and stiff expression, Fu Zongshang narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Did you do something to Miss Yao Ran?"
Startled by what he said, Yao Yuechuan anxiously replied, "Commander, you can't just throw around accusations like that. Do you want me to drown in everyone's spit?"
Seeing his reaction, Fu Zongshang said, "If you didn't do anything to Miss Yao Ran, then why did you react the like when I just asked casually?"
Yao Yuechuan looked helpless and asked, "Commander, do you remember that my younger sister used to live in Juncheng City? That city is now infested with mutant rats. Do you think she is still there?"
Seeing Fu Zongshang frown slightly, Yao Yuechuan added, "Now we don't have any contact information; how can I find her and bring her back? Commander, you don't think I'm that capable, do you?"
Fu Zongshang resisted the urge to roll his eyes because there were other senior officers in the room.
After a moment of silence, he glared at Yao Yuechuan and said, "Don't play dumb. Can you bring Miss Yao Ran back or not?"
Scratching his head, Yao Yuechuan grinned sheepishly, "I think my younger sister misunderstood me the last time we met. If I go looking for her now, she might refuse to come back with me."
Listening to his answer, Fu Zongshang snorted, "I knew I couldn't count on you."
He turned to Wu Yehao and said, "Captain Wu, I will entrust this matter of bringing Miss Yao Ran back to you."
Wu Yehao nodded, "Yes, Commander."
After thinking for a moment, Fu Zongshang asked, "Captain Wu, how did your trip to Fengcheng Headquarters? Did you uncover anything about Gao Shuwei's plans?"
Wu Yehao shook his head, "I couldn't find out his exact purpose because his people are always following me. But one thing is clear-he is trying to recruit our soldiers and take over the company."
After hearing this, a senior officer asked curiously, "Why do you think so? Do you have any evidence?"
Wu Yehao distributed the evidence he had prepared to Fu Zongshang, Yao Yuechuan, Jiang Chen, and several senior officers.
As they reviewed the evidence, Wu Yehao continued, "During the few days I spent at Fengcheng Headquarters, Gao Shuwei invited me to join his team three times."
"When I rejected him, he didn't show any reaction, but I noticed a group of his personal guards were following me everywhere. Because of this, I couldn't find an opportunity to investigate further."
After saying that, Wu Yehao paused for a moment and added, "Gao Shuwei also claimed that Captain Yao is his subordinate."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yao Yuechuan stood up, slammed his palms on the table, and cursed, "Fuck! Who does he think he is?! How dare he say I'm his subordinate?!"
Seeing that Yao Yuechuan was focusing on the wrong issue, Jiang Chen asked helplessly, "Captain Yao, shouldn't you try to clear your name first instead of cursing Gao Shuwei for claiming you are his subordinate?"
Yao Yuechuan glared at him and retorted, "Captain Jiang, this matter is more important. Besides, I believe everyone in this room knows where my loyalty lies. I don't need to explain or clear my name just because that bastard threw dirty water on me."
After saying that, he turned to Wu Yehao and asked, "Captain Wu, what else did that bastard Gao Shuwei say? Did he try to belittle me?"
