Chapter 1205: Chapter 938 The World is Truly Complex_3

Li Gaoyang couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "You’re saying these things as if they were meant for someone else, why tell me? What’s gotten into these old men? Each one acting like they’re the epitome of honorable gentlemen."

"His scientific research results are all public, accessible to people all over the world, and pose no threat whatsoever. Moreover, he has great respect for the existing market mechanisms and has never been a disruptor," the youngest elder said.

"Hmm, I think so too!"

Someone immediately agreed,

Why had the elders’ attitude changed so swiftly? Li Gaoyang had thought that the latest intelligence would firm the elders’ resolve to achieve their goals at any cost. Yet now, they had done an about-face. Was this the reason for the urgent summons, to permanently cancel the plan?

This meeting room, Li Gaoyang felt, hosted the most boring and bizarre meeting he had ever attended, completely out of character for them.

And so, Li Gaoyang returned to his office in New York in a foul mood, where Rolf was already waiting for him.

Lately, everyone had been busy, constantly on the move because of Yang Ping’s case; after all, BG Company faced its greatest opponent ever.

"Rolf, what’s up with these old men? Why do they all suddenly act like paragons of virtue?"

Li Gaoyang recounted the meeting to Rolf, hoping he could help analyze the situation. Li Gaoyang truly couldn’t comprehend why these guys had become so benevolent all of a sudden, completely abandoning extreme measures and confining all efforts to the realm of business competition.

Rolf pondered for a few minutes, then laughed cryptically, "When you reach their age, you’d probably make the same decision. Why did David Rockefeller undergo six heart transplants? It’s not just him—why do the world’s wealthy families generously donate in the field of biomedicine? Think about it, and you’ll know the answer."

Li Gaoyang thought for a moment and then had an epiphany, "Does everyone harbor a desire for immortality?"

"I wouldn’t say everyone does, but at least ninety-nine percent of those elders above us are longing for longevity, longing to live a little longer. You are now actively recommending extreme measures, aren’t you cutting short their dreams? As an old friend, I advise you to watch yourself, or they’ll throw you out without a second thought."

Rolf, the intelligence expert, clearly had a deeper understanding of human nature than Li Gaoyang.

"Besides, as long as we don’t provoke conflict, his threat to BG Company is nowhere near life-threatening. His laboratory is unguarded, his scientific research results are all freely made public—even if we use those results, do you think BG Company would fare worse than other companies? However, if you touch Professor Yang, for them, it becomes a matter of life and death. Now, in their eyes, Professor Yang is a deity, not a mere mortal," Rolf said piercingly.

Li Gaoyang still didn’t understand, "Why change their minds now?"

Rolf straightened his white hair, "Because only now the intelligence is clear: the theory of the Spatial Orientation Gene can only be realized by Professor Yang in the shortest time. Even if BG Company had all the data, it’s uncertain whether it could be achieved in decades—nobody wants to wait on that uncertainty. In the eyes of all such people, Professor Yang is already a god. Believe it or not, not to mention extreme measures, if you were to pluck a single hair from Professor Yang’s head, countless hidden forces around the world would ensure your absolute destruction. I guarantee it."

Li Gaoyang took a deep breath. The world was indeed complex, and so was human nature. With Rolf’s guidance, Li Gaoyang finally understood the underlying principles.
