Chapter 74 Suspicious Points
—A pharmaceutical factory in New York—
The pharmaceutical factory was filled with the strong smell of medicinal powder and disinfectant, which made Bai Yexiu frown as soon as he entered.
Although he had indeed spent two years here before, Bai Yexiu was no longer used to this smell.
Pharmaceutical factory...
Bai Yexiu looked at the group of workers who were working hard.
They're putting on quite a convincing act.
Bai Yexiu sighed for a moment, then went upstairs.
He had wanted to see how those old guys were doing with their research when he donated blood before, and he took the opportunity to come to New York to see for himself.
When he arrived at the room he remembered, he found it empty.
All the medical facilities were still there, and notebooks and papers used for recording things were casually placed on the table. In the corner, a corpse lay on a surgical stretcher, seemingly having been dead for some time. In the very center of the room was an empty operating table—the very spot where Bai Yexiu had lain years ago.
Bai Yexiu briefly toured the facilities, then plopped down on the operating table to wait for the old guys to return—because there were no chairs, and the tables were all piled with things, so there was nowhere to sit.
Ten minutes passed, and Bai Yexiu was even getting a little sleepy.
……
Beep —
"The patient's heart rate has dropped to zero, and their blood pressure cannot be maintained!"
"The patient's spontaneous breathing has stopped..."
"The deceased, ***, suffered a sudden and severe adverse reaction during a heart transplant surgery on December 31st, resulting in respiratory and cardiac arrest, and died despite resuscitation efforts..."
……
"!!!"
Bai Yexiu suddenly opened his eyes.
That's strange, what's with all these memories that suddenly came flooding back?
Bai Yexiu felt a bit scared and confused.
He never had a heart transplant, let alone died on the operating table. When did he die? How come he didn't know?
but……
Bai Yexiu recalled that he seemed to have heard a name, although he couldn't hear it clearly and couldn't remember it, but it was definitely not his current name!
Ah... I can't remember... who was that person...?
Just as Bai Yexiu was trying hard to remember, an old man with a full white beard walked in carrying a pile of documents.
"Oh, it's young Jundu." The old man stepped forward kindly and said, "Since you're here, let me show you the research report."
"It seems Professor Chase really knows me well." Bai Yexiu smiled as he accepted the report.
The report details the research findings over the past few years, and flipping back further reveals reports from several years ago.
Bai Ye stopped flipping through the report.
This is a lab report from six years ago.
Experiment 121.
Risks: Mild cases may result in memory loss, while severe cases may lead to cardiac arrest.
Result: Although a cardiac arrest occurred midway through the experiment, fortunately, it was successful.
Although Bai Yexiu was somewhat concerned, he still closed the report and handed it back to the old man.
……
Memory loss...
This is something that Bai Ye has been pondering ever since he built the pharmaceutical factory.
Come to think of it, he still inexplicably "predicts" many things. Are these all his memories?
So how did he know so many things in the past?
There are too many suspicious points...
"Isn't Jundu's trip to New York just for this matter?" the old man said with a smile, his expression suggesting he knew everything.
“Professor Chase is truly astute,” Bai Yeshu returned the smile. His first priority upon arriving in New York was to avoid Gin, the second was to check on the research progress, and only third was the mission.
“I know the organization has been watching this politician named Joels for a long time. There’s a banquet tonight at eight o’clock, and Joels will be attending. Your arrival in New York is very timely. And…” Professor Chase pulled out a shiny thing that looked like an invitation from his pocket: “I have an invitation to this banquet. Consider it helping out Jundu.”
……
New York, 8 p.m.
On the rooftop of a building, Bai Yexiu, who had long since removed his Longze disguise, was lying on the ground, using a sniper rifle to observe a banquet being held in a distant building through his scope.
Having an invitation to the banquet is so convenient. In the past, without an invitation, Bai Yexiu couldn't get inside in advance to plant listening devices or anything like that. He could only watch the silent drama from afar and had to choose when to fire based on the actions of the people in the viewing mirror. Often, staring at one scene for too long would make his eyes blurry.
But with a bugging device, things are different. He's no longer watching a silent movie. He can combine the sounds from the bugging device with the scene he sees through his scope to more easily and accurately choose when to fire. It's practically a great helper for assassination operations!
Although the wind was strong on the top floor, the organization's listening devices were quite sophisticated and wouldn't let the wind drown out the sounds inside.
As Bai Yexiu looked through the viewing mirror, he suddenly spotted two familiar figures—the Kudo couple!
Based on his previous "premonition" about the Kudo couple on the plane, Byakuya knew how difficult the couple was to deal with, especially Kudo Yusaku.
Bai Yexiu was glad he hadn't chosen to enter the area for a close-quarters assassination; otherwise, with Kudo Yusaku present, the difficulty of the assassination would have increased considerably.
At that moment, Yusaku Kudo, who was at the banquet, had just shaken hands with someone, but as if guided by intuition, he keenly looked towards the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The banquet was held on the top floor of a building with floor-to-ceiling windows that offered panoramic views of New York City.
The downside is that if a sniper has their eye on someone at the banquet, they can easily snipe them from a distance, but clearly, the organizers of the banquet did not take this into account.
Am I just imagining things?
Yusaku Kudo stared suspiciously in the direction of a certain building.
On the other side, Bai Yexiu quickly locked onto his target and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A floor-to-ceiling window was shattered by a high-speed bullet, making a deafening noise. Just as everyone was screaming in panic, the target, Joels, was shot in the head and fell to the ground dead.
The sudden death of one person unleashed fear throughout the banquet.
"Everyone, lie down! Get away from those windows!" Kudo Yusaku didn't show any panic, but shouted loudly to evacuate the people who were running around in all directions.
In the midst of the chaos, Kudo Yusaku quickly deduced the sniper's location within seconds—the very direction he had been so concerned about.
It really wasn't just my imagination!
Just as Yusaku Kudo took out his phone to call the police, another floor-to-ceiling window was shattered, and a dangerous bullet embedded in the shards of glass hit his feet.
"Husband!" Yukiko rushed over and pulled Kudo Yusaku behind a pillar.
Before the couple could catch their breath, a third and a fourth bullet struck the pillar behind them.
“He’s warning us,” Yusaku Kudo said, frowning.
Across the street from the building, Bai Yexiu's lips curled into a smile.
Hey~ Just having fun~
