Chapter 54: The impenetrable fortress

True it’s word, the dog which she had named Black guard led her up the mountain and showed her the mountain fortress. This place was so high up that if one did not know of its existence, they would not be able to reach it.

It was built from stone and appeared to be part of the mountain itself. It was likely that someone dug a very large cave and built their hidden lair inside. The entrance was hidden by a thick foliage of thorny poisonous trees. If one tried to stealthily enter using this route, they would end up injured and probably poisoned to death.

It was surrounded by armed guards who wore masks at all times. There were even security cameras in every corner. This place was locked down tighter than any prison she had ever seen.

Who exactly was this Situ Bao? How did he afford all this?

For three days, she had studied the fortress and looked for all possible angles to infiltrate it from but each plan was no good. Every scenario ended with her capture.

So far, she had no plan. It was almost coming to a week and she was nowhere near done with her mission.

"T4, do some heavy research on this Situ Bao, we need to know who he works for before anything else."

As T4 did his research, she continued to watch the fortress through her binoculars. There was nothing much to see from the outside.

T4, had hacked into the security system and he monitored the movement on the inside. Thanks to this, she had definitive prove that Tang Siming and his wife were alive. They had even managed to have another male child despite the hardships and captivity.

The little three year old boy was always by his mother’s side. For some reason, she looked familiar but because her information was not public, Chi Lian could not exactly place her.

However the couple appeared to be haggard and exhausted. If they were not rescued soon, they would be killed off eventually.

"Situ Bao, I found all his information." T4 told her.

"Read it to me."

"He is a thirty four year old male, born to_"

"Not that T4, I need to know who he works for, how long he has worked there and what he does for them."

"He is one of the nation’s top scientific researchers. He works for a private pharmaceutical company called Healing hands. The company also has a charity organization which treats the old and homeless for free."

Chi Lian now knew where the old people in the village were coming from. That organization was a recruitment center.

It was not just recruiting people to keep an eye on Wuxi’s grandmother in that hidden village, it was also a harvesting ground for them.

She had noticed that every two days, a van came in with people who were forcefully pushed inside. Those unlucky people were later used as test subjects for whatever medicine was being developed by Tang Siming.

As soon as he finished the prescription, it would be taken out of his hands. Tang Siming did not even know what was being done with his medicines. Or maybe he knew but was just as helpless as those people.

"Who are the shareholders in Healing hands?" she asked T4.

"Sixty percent of the shares are owned by a foreign company from the empire of Japan, Kawada pharmaceuticals. The other forty is owned by different local citizens of the empire. Most of them are members of Situ Bao’s family.

According to what I can find, that family was poor until six years ago when Kawada pharmaceuticals bought a failing pharmaceutical company Chuseng and turned it into Healing hands.

Situ Bao a mediocre research pharmacist with no achievements in his hands took a job with them. Shortly after that, he started having one amazing result after the other.

He published many papers on scientific research, won awards and became a very rich man. His family started acquiring shares in healing hands and that brings us to today."

So from what T4 had said, Situ Bao was forcing Tang Siming to come up with novel medicines and research and then taking the glory for himself.

He was nothing but a con man and a thief. But how had a poor Situ Bai managed to pay for the imprisonment of Tang Siming when he was poor in the beginning?

"T4, who in Situ Bao’s circle had money back then and was willing to give it to him. Access his financial records from six years ago and see what you can find out."

"On it."

She watched Black guard chase rabbits and butterflies as T4 dug dipper for the information. Basing on what she knew so far, another delivery of test subjects would be made the day after tomorrow. If she could somehow sneak in with those people, she could take the whole operation down from the inside.

But this was challenging to do on her own. She would get the victims killed if she was reckless.

It was time to call in for some back up.

"According to financial and criminal records Situ Bao’s father Situ Meng is part of the triple eight gang from C city. They are suspected for distribution of drugs and prostitution.

Back then, he was the second in command of the gang and rumor was that three million had been stolen from the gang’s night club and the leader was going crazy looking for it. A lot of noise was going around that it was an inside job. Suddenly, the leader was stabbed in an alley and Situ Meng took control of the gang.

A few days later, Situ Bao’s account had three million and Tang Siming went missing shortly after that."

So, Situ Meng provided the funds and men who kidnapped the tang family and held them hostage.

"In that case, I have to involve the police."

But first, she had to recue Wuxi and his grandmother and get them out of D city immediately. Who better to call than her own man.
