CHAPTER 566: CHAPTER 550: A DILEMMA

Song Moting is currently in a dilemma; he knows that the only thing he can do is to deal with matters one at a time, hoping that the problems can be resolved.

Of course, the issue with Jiang Xiaoxiao cannot be resolved at the moment, and whenever he thinks about the things he has to do, he feels his heart tighten.

Now, the situation needs to be resolved urgently, more so than their personal safety.

Mr. Shi went out jogging in the early morning light; it’s his routine.

No one questioned him.

Ten minutes after he left, Mu Feng also went out for a walk.

In front of the fountain in the garden, the two met, and after a brief courteous greeting, Song Moting casually did chest expansion exercises, his eyes fleetingly scanning the surroundings.

The patrol guards didn’t even glance at them.

Who would be interested in staring at the eldest son of the Mu family?

But whether there were eyes behind the curtain on the second floor wasn’t certain.

However, an open conversation is more trustworthy to Mu Shaocheng than hiding in dark corners, isn’t it?

"It’s not feasible to sneak in."

Mu Feng lit a cigarette, softly reminding him.

"Why? There’s not much time left! I don’t need to sneak in; I’m Doctor Shi, the top biologist, I can enter openly."

Song Moting stretched in front of the flower bed.

"You can, but how will you leave with the samples, and how will you take Jiang Xiaoxiao out? And there’s that child, since last night, the increased security personnel makes it more difficult... especially at night, every entrance and corridor have added guards.

Interestingly, security is less during the day, but over the past two days, there are more visiting guests. The worst part is my brother is coming. You know Mu Chen is not like me; we’re completely different. He loves this game.

This is all laid out according to his blueprint; he’s more adept than my father.

This is the worst.

Song Moting’s expression was unchanged, and he even forced a smile.

Mu Chen’s appearance made their operation inconvenient but reasonable.

Mu Shaocheng favors his younger son more, perhaps because the younger son’s ambition aligns with his.

Mu Chen’s appearance will disrupt everything.

"I suggest going in now."

Song Moting felt agitated.

He wants to save the world, but he cannot sacrifice Jiang Xiaoxiao.

So he must bear all this alone.

Mu Feng stared at Song Moting in shock.

"Don’t forget your responsibility; being impulsive now won’t solve the problem."

Song Moting restrained his anger, knowing Mu Feng was right.

"I’m not impulsive; now is the best time. Wu Weiguo will come today, Mu Shaocheng certainly wants to have a long talk with Wu Weiguo, which is inevitable. I’m a researcher, what else would I do but go to the lab? A perfect excuse, and then I leave with the specimen, or simply destroy it.

You said high temperatures could destroy this virus."

"Do you have explosive equipment now?"

Mu Feng looked at Song Moting skeptically.

He knew it wasn’t because Mu Shaocheng had already noticed Jiang Xiaoxiao; he wouldn’t involve Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Song Moting might already be going crazy.

Song Moting gave a wicked smile, lightly placed his hand on Mu Feng’s shoulder.

"I mean, those things were long ago sent into the lab by your father personally, securely; it’s just that the timer hasn’t been set. I can do it anytime. When are we rescuing the people?"

Mu Feng recalled that box of instruments and equipment Song Moting had, indeed personally escorted into the lab by Mu Shaocheng.

There surely were devices inside.

His heart calmed down suddenly.

"Later, when Wu Weiguo arrives, you can leave with the people; I’ll stall Mu Shaocheng."

Mu Feng’s eyes were icy, speaking as if he weren’t referring to his own father.

"I will set half an hour; when I leave, I’ll create a surprise, you time your departure accordingly."

"Song Moting, what you promised me, you must fulfill. If I... you must keep your promise."

Mu Feng grabbed Song Moting’s sleeve.

Song Moting smiled again.

"Since my superior reached such an agreement with you, we don’t want to lose your role; you will be extremely useful to us, and vice versa. You have ways to obtain very interesting intelligence; we’re willing to pay you generously."

"You understand what I mean; I do this not out of some sacred moral obligation; I lack moral demands, the only thing that interests me is..."

Mu Feng said, his eyes still cold.

"It’s indifferent whether you have moral heights, but our most generous bonuses, since promised, won’t be reneged; as long as you achieve, we will, too."

"I ask you to swear by Jiang Xiaoxiao that you will be there."

"Alright! I swear, I will ensure to help Ziluo find a heart, cure her illness."

Song Moting’s gentle words brought a deathly silence.

Mu Feng’s face twisted with hatred.

"I hate using Ziluo as a bargaining chip, but you must remember your words! Otherwise, I will haunt you all through heaven and earth."

"I promise you; what I provide here is government assistance to find a matching heart for her, that’s a service you can’t buy for any amount of money. Although a new heart might not save her life, at least she will have the chance to wait for other new treatments."

He hesitated, the agony and struggle of a brother written all over his face.

"That’s good."

He said hoarsely, without any bargaining.

His love for Ziluo is genuine and unconditional, willing to betray his own father just to save her.

"Dad, don’t push big brother too hard; you know what kind of person he is. I’ve done enough; let him do what he wants."

Mu Chen watched Mu Feng outside the window, silently regard the fountain.

No one knew what Mu Feng and Mr. Shi discussed.

But Mu Chen knew, big brother wasn’t a benevolent person, big brother’s polite greetings with Mr. Shi, he didn’t believe, Mu Shaocheng didn’t either.

He didn’t want to mess up at this critical point.

Just one last step.

Those virus samples were in Wu Weiguo’s lab, everything they publicly stated, Wu Weiguo held in his hands.

With all of this, they would dominate the world.

The backers and buyers behind them would be even more fervent.

Just on the cusp of success, no one should ruin it.

Mu Shaocheng frowned, "Your brother is too soft-hearted, not suitable for this. After this, I plan for him to take Ziluo abroad, she would be happy with him."

Mu Shaocheng wasn’t stone-hearted.

"I’ll take you to meet Jiang Xiaoxiao; I think she should honestly compromise."

Half an hour later.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched the plump child sitting on the bed through the glass window watching TV.

She was shocked at how this child almost resembled Tang Yuan, and if she didn’t closely observe facial features, just the silhouette could deceive her.

The child watched cartoons carefree, occasionally letting out a silver bell-like laughter.

Jiang Xiaoxiao worried for the child, nearly the same age as Tang Yuan, but as Tang Yuan fell into a dire situation, she wouldn’t let this child come to harm, for that would be unfair to this child, her anxious gaze made Mu Shaocheng pleased.

Seeing her own son, she should be honest, right?
