Super Zoo-Chapter 790 - 769 Bell Corporation
From their appearances, Aisenburg and Su Meng looked nothing alike and had completely different styles, with Aisenburg being a typical handsome German and Su Meng a rugged, chunky man from Guanzhong, totally mismatched.
"That's really odd..." Zhao Yun shook his head with a chuckle, eyeing Su Meng with great interest for a while before muttering to himself, "Fascinating, fascinating."
Su Meng rolled his eyes dramatically towards the ceiling.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Being closest to the door, Su Meng reached out with a long arm. Without even standing up, he twisted the doorknob open.
Outside the door, Park Cheol-bin was seated in his wheelchair. Seeing the situation inside the meeting room, he paused slightly, showing a somewhat frightening smile, and said apologetically, "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, and Mr. Zhao, you're in a meeting. Sorry for the interruption."
After speaking, he motioned for the caretaker behind him to push him away.
"No problem, the meeting is over," Suming said with a smile.
Park Cheol-bin knew both Su Meng and Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun quite admired the kid's talent, and had even taken him home for a few meals. During those meals, Chengcheng had asked Park Cheol-bin a bunch of bizarre questions, and the two half-sized kids actually hit it off quite well.
"It's nothing much, I heard Mr. Zhao was here, and I came to thank Mr. Zhao for the meal last time and for the promise I made to Chengcheng to give her a gift, which I have finished. I'm asking Mr. Zhao to deliver it to Chengcheng for me."
The caretaker behind him wheeled Park Cheol-bin into the office, with a large box hanging on the handle of the wheelchair. The caretaker took down the box, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.
Inside the box was a pure handcrafted house model, a European-style manor with a lawn and a garden. When powered up, the little figures inside would even move.
"I designed the blueprints and had the workers build it," said Park Cheol-bin, again revealing a smile that to most would seem terrifying.
"Chengcheng, that child, knows you're not well and still makes such demands. Cheol-bin, don't indulge her like this in the future," laughed Zhao Yun. "I'll thank you on her behalf."
"It's no big deal, Mr. Zhao. Anyway, I don't have much to do normally, and the doctor says that keeping my brain active can help with my condition..." Park Cheol-bin was saying when he suddenly paused, his gaze falling on the projected photo on the wall.
"Huh, this white gentleman, I feel like I've seen him somewhere, very familiar," Park Cheol-bin muttered to himself.
Suming and Zhao Yun were startled, exchanged glances, and almost simultaneously asked Park Cheol-bin, "Cheol-bin, do you find Mr. Su familiar?"
Su Meng rarely indulged in humor but, whizzing, moved his big head close to Park Cheol-bin, his eyes wide like two brass bells, and winked at him.
"Ah..." Park Cheol-bin was startled by the big head, "Don't scare me, Mr. Su... Huh? I hadn't noticed before, but now that you mention it, I think Mr. Su looks quite familiar too."
Now things were getting weird. Zhao Yun, Suming, and Park Cheol-bin all found Su Meng and the foreigner Aisenburg familiar, but others did not find them familiar...
What a complex relationship?
But this at least showed that it was not entirely coincidental.
Suming and Zhao Yun, both deep in thought, looked at each other, finding the situation quite interesting.
"Su Meng, take Cheol-bin out for a bit," Suming said to Su Meng.
"Oh." Su Meng now roughly knew some common phrases.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Zhao, I'm off now," Park Cheol-bin said.
"Be careful not to catch a cold," Suming warned.
Soon, the office returned to peace, leaving only Suming and Zhao Yun.
The two were the sort of people who had disposable income and time, yet still retained a childlike heart, full of curiosity about interesting matters... Of course, they were also the type who secretly wished for chaos in the world.
Facing such a strange occurrence, even if it had no significant benefit to themselves, they couldn't resist the urge to investigate.
"What do you think?" Suming asked Zhao Yun.
"I'm not Detective Yuan Fang..." Zhao Yun shrugged, making a not-so-funny joke, then pointed to the projection of Aisenburg on the wall: "Let's start with investigating this person."
"Heh heh, I've already looked into that," Suming revealed with a proud smile.
"Hmm? Oh, I understand now. I was wondering why you would donate three hundred thousand to the Medical University out of the blue, turns out it was targeted," Zhao Yun realized. Previously, taking advantage of the incident where tourists were detained, Suming had established contact with Yangchuan Medical University by donating three hundred thousand in the name of supporting his alma mater's research, thereby strengthening their relationship.
At that time, Suming was already interacting with purpose.
"Did you find out anything?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Koln Heisenberg, holds a Doctorate in Medicine and a Master's in Philosophy, graduated from Yale University, forty-two years old, working at the world-renowned German Bell Technology Medical Company, one of the partners of the pharmaceutical research laboratory, currently single. Two years ago, he gave a lecture in Huaxia, and the vice-chancellor of Yangchuan Medical University was his college classmate. He was hired this year to serve as a visiting professor at Yangchuan City Medical University. This man has already returned to Germany..." Suming slowly relayed a wealth of information about Heisenberg.
This information wasn't classified, but without a good relationship with Yangchuan Medical University, it would've been difficult to gather such detailed information in such a short time.
"It all seems to make sense," Zhao Yun mused, stroking his chin, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "But does Bell Medical Company conduct research in genetics?"
Bell Medical is well-known worldwide, highly accomplished in treating cancer; many of the 'imported drugs' recommended by domestic doctors for cancer patients are Bell's products. Of course, they are also prohibitively expensive.
Besides cancer, Bell is also focused on research into various diseases caused by cellular mutations.
However, what Bell is most known for among Easterners is not their medical services, but a functional beverage similar to Red Bull—only much more effective and expensive.
"For such a multinational medical giant, having some secret research is quite normal," Suming said: "Mr. Zhao, have you seen 'Resident Evil'? The Umbrella Corporation in that film conducts secret research on viruses, which end up spreading and turning the whole world into zombies."
"It's not that exaggerated," Zhao Yun said.
"I'm just making a comparison," Suming replied.
"It seems our current information is still too scant to make any analytical judgments, we don't even know where to go next," Zhao Yun said.
"Mr. Zhao, how about this—your connections abroad are extensive, keep an eye on Bell Corporation. I'll have someone look into knowledge about genetic research. I have this odd feeling that asking for hair and nails is similar to ancient Huaxia's sorcery," Suming suggested.
"Sorcery? Don't underestimate it, many things from antiquity have scientific principles behind them; people back then just couldn't explain them, so they were shrouded in mystery and considered superstition by later generations. If we go even further, there are claims of prehistoric civilizations, with remnants from a previous epoch discovered on Earth, their level of scientific advancement might even rival ours today."
