Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 807 - 515: Lure the Snake Out of the Hole

As soon as the video started, a statement completely baffled Feng Yi.

Feng Chi’s statement was neither completely right nor wrong.

Let’s skip it.

Let’s skip this topic for now.

But an explanation is still necessary!

"Work has been quite heavy recently! I’ve been staying at the Ancestor Factory Headquarters," said Feng Yi.

"Oh!" Feng Chi looked suddenly enlightened.

He was just quick with his words—blurted it out without thinking, felt it made sense after saying it, but after hearing Feng Yi’s explanation, he inwardly scorned himself for indeed having a dirty mind!

His brother was out of sorts due to work, not for the reasons he had imagined!

"Take good care of your health, bro."

Feng Chi didn’t continue on this topic and finally remembered the original purpose of making this video call.

He was in his own private resting room, alone, with no one else around, having sent his assistant away, so he could discuss some private matters.

Even so, he checked the doors and windows again before he spoke, ensuring no one was outside, then lowered his voice:

"Bro, about that thing you mentioned before, the situation has changed!"

He had sent Feng Yi a pill a while ago, which he hadn’t taken seriously, but the information Feng Yi had given him alerted him, making him feel the vortex was too large, and it was better for him, a small fry, not to get involved.

So, he obediently packed up, dragged his suitcase to work, and now had rejoined the crew. It was often inconvenient to contact the outside world, but whenever he was free, he still kept an eye on things.

He consciously collected information from the internet, chat groups, and casual conversations with "acquaintances" and "friends" from both inside and outside the circle.

"Rumors are that several big-name stars are involved! Two artists have been confirmed missing!"

Feng Chi’s expression was grave.

"This morning, some people came to me just for a check to confirm that I hadn’t used that kind of drug. They asked a few questions and then left. However, there have been personnel changes in our crew, not among the guests, but the work staff."

Although Feng Chi didn’t know every staff member, he was familiar with those in key positions, even if he couldn’t recall their names.

The new season of "Survivor" had started filming, and a key position had a new face; other less critical roles definitely saw some changes, but the exact number was uncertain. The crew didn’t talk much about it.

"But it’s still calm on the internet."

Feng Chi still couldn’t help but feel alarmed as he spoke.

The breadth and severity of the issue could be seen from this!

He never thought it could blow up to this extent!

He could only be thankful that he was smart and heeded advice in time, which is why he was safe now.

And the person who had given him the pill at the gathering, as well as those who had taken it, were now in a missing state.

Scary!

"The two investigators who came to question me today didn’t say much, but from what I’ve gathered from others, last night they conducted a surprise check on a mansion in the neighboring city. Some wealthy second and third-generation rich were having a party there, and suddenly it was raided!"

Feng Chi shared the news he had heard from another "good friend" with Feng Yi.

That private party last night included wealthy families’ children and celebrity artists.

When surrounded by the investigation team, there were people reeking of alcohol still arrogantly protesting, "Do you know who my father/mother/grandfather/grandmother is?"

There were also those sober and who had come in contact with that drug; they remained calm. They knew beforehand that the drug would not show up in tests, so if they just denied using it and claimed they had taken some other libido-enhancing drugs, they could muddle through.

That was until an investigator brought a case over, laid out its contents of medical reagents and testing equipment.

Only then did they start to feel that things were not looking good.

Feng Chi sighed lightly, "The main thing is that this matter was silent before; everyone thought it was fine, even some people thought the drug was quite good and wanted to invest in it. No one expected the situation to turn around so quickly, and even the classification of the drug changed! Moreover, the investigation team’s attitude has been very firm!"

Listening to Feng Chi’s account, Feng Yi knew that after obtaining the rapid test kits, the investigation team’s work progressed faster, with greatly increased efficiency, able to present conclusive evidence, and obviously, their investigative methods were also more incisive.

At the same time, this also indicated that the rapid test kits provided by the Ancestral Factory were highly accurate!

His many days of effort were not in vain!

After chatting with Feng Chi for a while, Feng Yi made another call to Yue Gongyang.

Yue Gongyang had access to a broader range of information.

However, today Yue Gongyang was not going to talk to Feng Yi about the investigation team’s news, but rather about further analyses conducted in the Ancestor Factory laboratory.

Those homologous yet unknown substances, whether the pills currently being investigated or the potent poisons seen before, all contained a certain "marker" in their structure.

Feng Yi had already learned about this.

The test kits were also made to target this "marker."

The laboratory had now conducted an in-depth analysis of this marker.

"This ’marker’ can make a substance, which ordinarily should not be stable, become stable. When it acts on a human body, it can have some unexpected effects."

There are positive effects, and there are negative effects.

If the positive effects dominate, it becomes a therapeutic drug.

Otherwise, it becomes a poison.

"To create a therapeutic drug, if there is no stabilizer, it is hard to control, and it can lead to severe negative outcomes. This situation is similar to the problems we faced at the Ancestor Factory when we first started researching drugs.

"The stabilizer needed for such drugs consists of special enzymes, signaling molecules, and others. This special stabilizer does not exist in ordinary animals and plants, including humans, and is extremely difficult to synthetically produce..."

The things Yue Gongyang had said were to tell Feng Yi—

This kind of stabilizer can only be provided by "non-ordinary people" like Feng Yi and must be relatively fresh, active. If any component is inactive or missing, the stabilizer doesn’t work.

Even if those manufacturing these illegal drugs researched for a hundred more years, without the "stabilizer," they couldn’t produce a positive result. What they would eventually produce would only amount to a bunch of failures, potent poisons, or chronic poisons.

Feng Yi understood, "You mean, if we don’t find the source soon, more failures will enter the market?"

Yue Gongyang responded, "Yes! I believe that the enemy is using a multitude of people in the market as test subjects, perhaps hoping to find among these ’experimental bodies,’ special individuals who can stabilize the drug properties, enabling him to develop the stabilizer!"

Pause, Yue Gongyang said seriously, "The enemy is casting a wide net, they are using extreme measures to sift, to search, to hunt!

"The enemy has always been secretive, but after the Butterfly Project was revealed, suddenly they escalated their maneuvers. Perhaps they want to, while the attention of the officials and the public is drawn by the Butterfly Project, while most people are focused on the weather and Meteorological Weapons, seize this opportunity to accomplish their own objectives.

"This indeed is an opportunity, but at the same time, it seems hasty, perhaps, the enemy is also facing some other problems, forcing them to escalate their actions."

Feng Yi perplexed, "Other problems?"

Yue Gongyang said, "Such as funding problems, or pressure exerted by team collaborators or supporters."

Feng Yi realized, "So, you mean the enemy is desperate."

Yue Gongyang, "Yes, they are desperate."

Not knowing whether the enemy is male or female, old or young, but from what is known now, the enemy indeed is desperate. Their methods have become crude and cruel.

Feng Yi asked, "Do you think that accident on the construction site was their doing?"

Yue Gongyang, "Very likely!"

Feng Yi hmmed, then said, "The things you just mentioned can be edited down a bit, to be revealed to the investigation team, in order to prevent more poisons from entering the market, they need to speed up."

Yue Gongyang reminded, "At the same time, we also need to be prepared for whether the enemy is also using this kind of drug to probe us."

Yue Gongyang keenly perceived from Feng Yi’s words that Feng Yi seemed to want to stir up some trouble.

He was reminding Feng Yi, no matter what he did, he had to be fully prepared in all aspects.

Feng Yi acknowledged with a sound and continued the conversation for a few more moments before ending the call.

Sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun for a while, feeding the fish in the Koi pond, he watched the corpulent group of koi and quietly reflected for a moment.

Feng Yi called A’que over.

During this period, Feng Yi had stayed in the Ancestor Factory Headquarters Building, and A’que had done the same, following Feng Yi.

Even if someone wanted to do something to them, they had no way to start.

The confidentiality and defense measures at the Ancestor Factory Headquarters Building had always been very good, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to keep so many technological secrets.

Now, Feng Yi wanted to make a change.

Apart from A’que, he also called over the in-house driver, Jia.

He briefly discussed the current situation with them.

Feng Yi looked at A’que, "We need to draw out the snake!"

The standing nearby Jia slightly furrowed his brow, contemplating.

He always felt that Feng Yi’s words seemed to have a double or maybe multiple meanings?
