Chapter 136 Project β Research Base(1/2)
Use secrets to cover up secrets.
This was the speculation put forward by Su Mo after Nono successfully tried to PUA his father for the second time.
However, later on, because she discovered that her father was getting more and more impatient, and discovered that the actual reason behind it was that the Gattuso family's test was approaching, Xia Mi temporarily forgot about her original deduction.
But now, listening to Su Mo, this speculation has not been overturned?
"That's right."
Su Mo nodded slightly.
"It is true that Nono's father compromised with her because of the pressure from the Gattuso family, but this does not mean that his previous inference was wrong. He did not have much choice and had to trust Nono, but the existence of the exposed serum was very harmful to him.
It is indeed a proactive option, which can avoid greater exposure of secrets, and his approach is indeed very effective, isn't it?"
After hearing Su Mo's rhetorical question, Xia Mi thought for a moment and found that it was indeed the case.
Ever since Nono's father agreed to give the serum, her focus has been on the serum.
Even this invasion of Chen's Mansion was purely for the serum.
Invisibly, she had forgotten the original doubt.
——Why, the head of the Chen family could calmly and proactively choose to expose the Chen Building Research Center to Nono and give her serum samples, but he reacted so much to Nono's questioning of her brother?
If Su Mo hadn't reminded her, her attention would have shifted from this point to the serum.
And this deviation is natural. Compared with that trivial doubt, something with more benefits such as serum is naturally more eye-catching.
But now, after hearing Su Mo mention this, even Xia Mi finally reacted.
"You mean, what the rich woman's father wants to hide is Project Beta?"
If there is anything more important than the research results of dragon serum, it must be the fruit tree that has produced so many results.
If the α project is compared to a seed, the β project is the tree that grows from the seeds, and the serums Su Mo takes are the fruits that grow from the tree.
The reason why the head of the Chen family was willing to give the dragon serum to Nono was to confuse her eyes with the fruit so that she could not see clearly the big tree under the fruit.
"The current guess is this."
Su Mo nodded.
"In other words, if we want to investigate Project Beta, we only need to investigate the rich woman's brother?"
Xia Mi immediately said excitedly.
"Can you find Nono's brother?"
Su Mo asked rhetorically.
"I can't seem to find it."
Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
According to Nono, his brother has not been seen since that day.
If even Nono couldn't figure out her brother's whereabouts, they would be even more confused.
After all, their organization wants money but no money, no people, no one.
It is completely impossible to have artificial intelligence to provide various intelligence facilities like Kassel Academy. Even if she knew her brother's name, she would not be able to find him.
"In this case, isn't the clue broken again?"
The girl sighed, feeling a little headache.
"That's not necessarily true."
Su Mo shook his head, remembered something, and asked Xia Mi.
"I remember I raised a question before. If Nono's brother was really deeply involved in the Dragon Serum Project, why was he sent to other cities?"
Upon hearing Su Mo's question, Xia Mi immediately recalled the content of the previous conversation and said.
"This is the question you asked the rich woman. The rich woman's answer is because the Chen family has more than one research center."
"Well, this is the inference when the conditions were insufficient before."
Su Mo nodded.
"But now we know that the research center in Chen's Building is the place where the results are most concentrated among all the research centers in the Chen family."
"As a person who has been trained to be very loyal since childhood, Nono's brother must be an excellent tool for his father. This can be seen from Nono saying that he is now the most favored child."
"And since it is such a useful tool, why is it not placed in such an important Chen's Building, but sent to other places?"
The same question is often asked again under different conditions, and the answers obtained are often completely different.
Even Xia Mi, who doesn't like to use his brain very much these days, realized something after hearing Su Mo ask this question.
Her breath stagnated slightly, and then she said.
"Unless that place is more important than Chen's Mansion, and the children he personally trained are more needed to take control of the situation!"
Good tools naturally need to be placed in the right place.
And where else could there be a more important place than the Chan Building Research Center?
Apart from the vaguely named α project, which I still don’t know what it is, there is only one other one left.
"In other words, the place where her brother worked before was most likely the location where Project β was launched! He was not sent out, but was assigned a more secretive and important job by his father!"
Thinking of this, Xia Mi immediately became excited.
If this is the case, you don't even need the current news about Brother Nono, you just need to know where he came back from, and you can find the specific location of Project Beta!
Just when she was excited and wanted to share this discovery with Su Mo, she found that the other party was looking at her with a pleased expression, with an expression like "a child can be taught".
Damn it! So this guy has actually figured it out a long time ago, and he was just teasing himself with all the guidance just now?
Realizing this, the girl's face darkened and she kicked the back of Su Mo's chair.
"You guys, when you see it, just say no, why do you want me to waste my expression! Isn't it fun?"
"I just think you haven't used your brain for too long and need to exercise. Otherwise, you will become stupid and you will be in trouble."
Su Mo felt the chair shaking slightly, but Su Mo didn't care.
"So, now that you have reasoned to this point, the rest of the matter is naturally very simple. We just need to wait for Nono to confirm that it is safe and restore communication, and we can just ask her directly."
"It's really simple."
Hearing Su Mo's statement, Xia Mi nodded in agreement, then kicked the chair again, humming in dissatisfaction.
"But what do you mean you may become stupid in the future? I won't become stupid even if you become stupid!"
"Are all fools blindly confident like you?"
"You are the fool. Let me ask you, do you know the twelve uses of dragon blood?"
"what is that?"
"Hmph~ I'll tell you if I call Teacher Xia Mi."
A proud smile appeared on the girl's face, and she stared at Su Mo with cunning eyes like a cat. Today, she let this arrogant subordinate know her erudition and talent, and completely bowed to her bohemian elder.
Under the skirt.
"Well……"
Just when Su Mo felt very curious and was considering whether to lower his head and ask her for advice, the cell phone rang suddenly.
"who is it?"
Although Xia Mi felt very sorry, he immediately put down what he had just done and came over with great care.
"Nono."
Su Mo raised his phone and showed his number.
"Say the rich woman is here."
After seeing that it was Nono, Xia Mi had no reaction at first. After all, according to speculation, Nono should be out of the sensitive period by now.
But soon, as if he suddenly remembered something, Xia Mi suddenly rolled over to the bedside table, picked up his mobile phone, and rummaged through it for something.
Su Mo probably guessed what Xia Mi was busy with, so he answered the phone directly without keeping Nono waiting.
After a few pleasantries, Nono, who had been holding back his doubts for two days, went straight to the topic.
"Senior Su Mo, can I take the liberty to ask, was the invasion of Chen's Building the work of the organization?"
"Yes."
Su Mo nodded and admitted, then asked.
"How are you doing over there? There shouldn't be any suspicion, right?"
Hearing what Su Mo said, Nuonuo felt a surge of heat in his heart.
Sure enough, the reason why the organization deliberately did not tell her was entirely for the sake of her safety.
Fortunately, I had left some room during the profiling and did not say anything to death, and later made up for my mistakes. Otherwise, I would have unknowingly done a disservice, discredited the organization, and would have been shameless to call Senior Su Mo again.
