Chapter 199 Underground Laboratory
~
After dinner, Reis arranged a room for them to rest.
After Xiao Jing sent Ruan Zhao back to his room, he and Chen Yuteng followed Reis.
Ruan Zhao looked at the direction where the few people left, and only after they were far away did he close the door and go back into the room.
After setting up a barrier in the room to ensure that people outside could not detect the aura here, Ruan Zhao took out a teleportation talisman and teleported directly outside the old forest.
She had to send a message back so that Lu Yan and the others could understand the situation in this mountain area in advance and make preparations early.
After observing the surroundings, Ruan Zhao set up another barrier before taking out the sound transmission talisman...

the other side
Reiss brought Chen Yuteng and others to the row of houses at the back and also entered from the middle room.
After a few people entered, the two blond men closed the door directly.
Reis walked to the innermost wall of the room, raised his hand and twisted a round object on the wall, and then he heard a sound of wooden boards rubbing against each other.
Following the sound, several people saw a square secret passage on the ground, with a long staircase leading down.
As soon as the stairs appeared, Xiao Jing smelled a strong smell of blood and some disinfectant. He frowned subconsciously, and at the same time he guessed what was underneath.
Although Chen Yuteng never told him what specific business they were doing with this Reese, Xiao Jing had already guessed some of it from their conversation.
For some reason, Xiao Jing felt inexplicably resistant to these things.
He couldn't understand why he had such a feeling, so he could only suppress this complicated emotion and follow the others downstairs.

As soon as he entered the underground, Xiao Jing was shocked by the scene below.
The space below is more than twice as large as the space above. In the middle are two rows of long tables with various medical experimental instruments on them. There are also many people in white coats standing in front of the tables, busying themselves, looking like they are doing experiments.
As Reis led the others inside, he introduced Chen Yuteng. "They're researching a new drug. Once the research is successful, we need you to release a batch to the market. Once these drugs have established sales channels, there will be a steady stream of money coming your way."
Chen Yuteng has already reaped the benefits of selling medicine, so he knows how tempting the profits are.
After hearing what Reese said, Chen Yuteng's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Hahaha, okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Xiao Jing had been silently observing the situation inside. They had been walking westward. When passing a room on the westernmost side, Xiao Jing's eyes suddenly froze.
Unlike other rooms, this room looks out of place in the entire underground space.
The door of the room was a black iron door with a lot of dried red on it. Xiao Jing could tell at a glance that it was the traces of dried blood.
Faintly, he seemed to hear some heavy breathing and struggling sounds from inside.
Reese, who was walking in front, seemed to notice something and suddenly turned around to look behind him.
Xiao Jing reacted quickly and immediately looked away.
Reiss glanced at Xiao Jing and the others, but didn't find anything unusual. He then turned to look at Chen Yuteng. "Chen, come sit in my office. My friend sent me some new coffee beans from abroad."
Chen Yuteng didn't refuse. "Okay."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Jing and the others. "You three wait here for a while. Reese and I will go get some coffee."
Gecko and Flowerhead quickly responded, "Yes."
Then, Chen Yuteng and Reis entered the room on the far right.
The door of the room was closed, and the two blond men stood on both sides of the door, obviously not wanting Xiao Jing and the others to get close.
The flower-head and gecko seemed to have gotten used to it, so they consciously stood a little further away.
Xiao Jing moved his ears and found that he could not hear any sound inside, so he walked to the gecko.

in the room
Reese placed a box on the table and opened it, then took out a few sheets of paper and handed them to Chen Yuteng. "Chen, this is the contract I just drafted. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be revised."
Chen Yuteng glanced at the things in the box, then took the papers and turned directly to the last page.
After seeing the numbers clearly, Chen Yuteng suddenly laughed sarcastically. "Rhys, we're old friends. Isn't it a bit unkind of you to do this?"
Reis had anticipated this reaction and had already prepared his own explanation. "Chen, you should know that customs inspections here have been very strict recently, and our goods can't be delivered at all.
I spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to take the risk of bringing the goods in. If I still follow the previous profit sharing, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to support my people!"
But Chen Yuteng didn't believe him at all, "Really? But I heard that you have already received the approval document from your government.
There are risks in going through private channels, but since there are official channels, your excuse is just a perfunctory one, right? "
Reese narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that Chen Yuteng was so well-informed.
It seems that there is someone more powerful behind Chen Yuteng.
Seeing he couldn't scare him, Reiss changed his tactics. "Chen, you're right. We did get the official approval, but it wasn't for these things. It was for our newly developed medicine.
You know, anything related to medicine is strictly controlled by the government, and we can’t smuggle anything else in.”
Chen Yuteng leaned back and watched Reese continue to fool him.
After he finished speaking, Chen Yuteng spoke softly. "Speaking of these medicines, I remember something.
In the last batch of medicine you sent out, one batch seemed different from the others?"
Reese paused, his eyes flashing with a fierce look. "Oh? What's different?"
How could Chen Yuteng not notice the change in his expression? Seeing his emotions exposed, Chen Yuteng smiled even more shrewdly. "It's nothing. I just asked a few people to try it, and then I found that not only did it not cure their illness, but it made them get a more serious illness. It looks like some kind of infectious disease."
Reiss's hands, hanging under the table, were clenched into fists. "Chen, you must be mistaken. How could there be a problem with our medicine?"
Chen Yuteng didn't refute him, "Maybe. But I didn't dare sell that batch of medicine. What if there really is a problem? It would ruin our reputation!
Isn't that right, Race?"
Only at this moment did Reiss realize that Chen Yuteng had already known what they had done.
This old fox is threatening him.
However, as long as Chen Yuteng does not interfere with his pharmaceutical production, he will not easily fall out with Chen Yuteng.
The two exchanged glances for a moment, and Reiss was the first to laugh. "Chen, you're right. We're old friends, and we shouldn't let these little things damage our friendship."
After a pause, Reese continued, "How about this? I'm willing to give you an extra 2 points on top of the original profit."
Chen Yuteng raised his eyebrows. He wanted the same thing as before, but he never thought he could take advantage of this guy. "What are the conditions?"
Reese smiled again, “It’s really a pleasure talking to you.
The condition is that all our medicines must be sold in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Yuteng wasn't surprised, but thinking about the effects of his medicine, Chen Yuteng hesitated and didn't agree immediately. "I have to think about this carefully. After all, the risk is too great."
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. As soon as Reese heard it, he knew that he still wanted benefits.
"Okay, then you should stay a few more days and think it over carefully," Reis said. As if he had thought of something, he turned and pulled out a small box from the cabinet behind him. "By the way, Chen, last time I told you, I'm researching a drug to prolong life, and I've already developed it."
