Chapter 606: 329 You’re not too dumb_2

So anxious was he to hear the news that he rushed to the destroyed Secret Research Institute with his confidants without worrying about exposure. Before entering, he still harbored a faint hope, wishing it was just a joke played by his subordinates, hoping the situation inside wasn’t as dire. However, as soon as he entered, Bai Yi’s face instantly turned deathly pale!

Everyone in the institute was dead! Whether they were guards or researchers and subjects, none had survived! Not even a body was left behind!

Moreover, all the equipment in the entire institute was destroyed. Not a single precious medicine or piece of research material was left!

Bai Yi urgently said, "Quick! Check if the items in the safe are still there!" As he spoke, he rushed toward the room where Dr. Sun’s secret safe was.

It was an extremely precise safe, which stored many important research materials, all of which were the fruits of Dr. Sun’s long labor! If he could find those research documents and bring in new researchers, he could continue Dr. Sun’s work!

However, when Bai Yi finally managed to open the safe, he found it completely empty, with nothing left inside! His complexion grew even uglier, and he became so furiously agitated that his superpower started to act up.

"Phew!" Bai Yi couldn’t hold back and vomited a mouthful of blood, but after vomiting, he felt a lot better. He pushed away his subordinates who tried to help him and fiercely said, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! This must be the work of that bastard Zhao Qiankun, I want you to find evidence of his meddling!"

Bai Yi was decisive. Now that the incident had happened, regretting it was useless; instead, he could use the evidence to retaliate against Zhao Qiankun! However, he was so enraged that he forget that the research topic of this secret institute could not be disclosed!

Even if he truly found evidence, he couldn’t use it to threaten Zhao Qiankun! Because if Zhao Qiankun really was behind this, he definitely had more evidence that could harm the Bai Family. This would be like digging their own grave if the Bai Family came forward and got involved with the secret institute!

After giving the order, Bai Yi gradually calmed down and realized he had acted impulsively by coming here—it would be too easy for others to catch him at fault! Therefore, he dared not linger any longer and quickly led his people away, leaving only a few trusted individuals to look for clues.

The moment he returned home, he saw Bai Zhengyi with a thunderous look, sitting on the living room sofa. His heart skipped a beat, and sensing trouble, he hesitated. During this, he heard Bai Zhengyi coldly say, "Useless fool, get in here!"

Bai Yi hurried into the room and closed the door behind him, walking nervously to face Bai Zhengyi. Just as he walked forward, Bai Zhengyi suddenly stood up and fiercely slapped him.

"Slap!" In the silent living room, the sound was abrupt and loud. Bai Yi’s head was turned away by the force, leaving him dazed.

Bai Zhengyi, frustrated as though hating iron for not becoming steel, glared at him. He didn’t continue to hit him but sat down again and coldly asked, "Do you know why I hit you?"

Bai Yi cupped his face, head bowed low as he answered "I was wrong, father."

"Ha," Bai Zhengyi scoffed coldly, "Wrong? Where exactly did you go wrong?"

Bai Yi continued, "I should not have impulsively gone to that secret institute. Since it had already been destroyed, there was no use in going. I was rash."

Bai Zhengyi looked at him, clearly displeased, "The worst thing was you getting involved with that madman, Dr. Sun, in those messy researches, and even getting discovered! Bai Yi, have you forgotten how I initially taught you?"

Bai Yi felt the scorching shame on his face under Bai Zhengyi’s disappointed gaze. Reflecting on Bai Zhengyi’s past words, he quietly said, "Those messy affairs, if you’re not competent, don’t touch them. If you do, make sure it’s foolproof and never leave any trace!"

"You remember clearly!" Bai Zhengyi sneered, shaking his head in disappointment, "Pity you’re so foolish!"

Bai Yi dared not speak, remaining silent with his head lowered.

Fortunately, Bai Zhengyi hadn’t come here just to scold him. Lighting a cigarette, he leaned back on the sofa, looked up at Bai Yi and asked, "Tell me, what do you think about this situation? Do you have any suspects in mind?"

Bai Yi sighed in relief and hurriedly shared his suspicion, "Dad, I am certain Zhao Qiankun is behind this! Remember what Bai Ye said at the party? Zhao Qiankun went to toast him, deliberately bringing up the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps. Bai Ye asked him how he knew about it, which Zhao Qiankun evaded. I suspected then that Zhao Qiankun might have some special means of surveillance!"

Bai Zhengyi’s face remained expressionless, showing no reaction, only asking, "And then? What else did you find?"

Bai Yi continued, "Zhao Qiankun deliberately toasting Bai Ye and mentioning the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps was clearly meant to trouble us and set us against Bai Ye! Absolute wolfish ambition! And later, I paid special attention and indeed found there were many hidden cameras installed around the hall! Those cameras were very well concealed, and you wouldn’t notice them unless you specifically looked for them. Damn that Zhao Qiankun!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhengyi finally spoke, "It seems you’re not completely foolish." (To be continued.
