Chapter 2772

(Wait a moment to modify) "Gu Hui Peak also disappeared?" Nong Zheng was even more scared after hearing, he said shakily, "This has nothing to do with me, I’m already miserable myself, now hiding everywhere and dare not even go home!"

"There’s no one watching near your home," Xu Huo said, "I’ve been there."

Nong Zheng was stunned for a moment before he said, "You have no idea about their methods, they can erase anyone’s traces openly, even Gu Hui Peak disappeared, they have ten thousand ways to deal with me!"

"Then why don’t you run away?" Xu Huo asked.

"Don’t I want to escape?" Nong Zheng shouted excitedly, "I’m afraid that once I show any signs of wanting to escape, instead it will bring disaster!"

"Yes, do you have a better way out now?" Xu Huo replied, "Tell me what you know, if it’s useful to me I can consider sending you to another country or another zone afterwards."

"Really?" Nong Zheng was overjoyed, "Will you keep your word?!"

"It’s very easy for me to send someone away." Xu Huo assured, walked over to the coffee table and poured two cups of tea, "Sit down and talk."

With the assurance, Nong Zheng’s emotions calmed significantly, he climbed up, held the tea cup and drank it, then continuously poured himself two more cups, drank enough before he plopped down on the couch with a contented sigh, "Haven’t had a proper rest for many days, it’s really comfortable."

"Hurry up and speak." Xin Qin urged.

"What do you want to know?" Nong Zheng said, "I actually don’t know much, I wasn’t aware of what happened at NS Biological, I only realized something was wrong after the company disappeared, afterwards I asked around the nearby people secretly."

"NS Biological." The woman said, "But after Gu Hui Peak disappeared, I went to the company’s address to look, and there was no such company at all, everything about this company on the Collection of Information Terminal is fake, and there are no drugs or any medical products produced under this company name in the zone."

"Since Gu Hui Peak confidently said he can cure your disease, he must have really seen this company." Xu Huo paused and asked, "Are you sure he won’t betray you?"

The woman took out a waterproof-sealed paper from her clothes, unfolded it and placed it on the table, "I checked this potion’s patent application number at the patent regulation department before, the potion’s name and content match, but when I checked yesterday, it’s gone."

"This is something even a carver finds hard to accomplish." Xu Huo glanced at the paper, "I’ll find someone to ask, wait here for a moment."

Once he finished speaking, he disappeared from the room, the woman sat quietly for two seconds, realizing he was really gone, she immediately jumped up wanting to run towards the door, but stopped abruptly after two steps, hesitated for a long time before sitting back down, tightly holding that piece of paper, with a desperate courage tinged with recklessness.

Xu Huo returned to the room in less than twenty minutes.

"This patent application is indeed real, but a few days ago it was deleted through the internal system of the patent review department. Although the deletion traces are gone, I found the person who did it, he admitted helping someone, and the request came from the Secretary of the Governor of Earth Star City, which means, this matter is related to the Governor of Earth Star City."

The woman quickly accepted his statement after a brief shock, "Why would the Governor do this? Could NS Biological be involved in something illegal?"

"If that was the case, there was no need to completely delete traces of an already applied patent. I asked about that kind of potion, it is indeed a real and effective treatment potion specifically targeting genetic diseases."

"Anything else?" Xu Huo pursued, "Whether it’s purchasing your work for 9.8 billion or using Gu Hui Peak’s reputation, usually it’s not worth risking so much to deal with a celebrity, let alone he’s currently in the spotlight."

"Is there anything else you’re hiding or something he mentioned but you are unaware of?"

Without further probing, he straightforwardly said, "I’m only interested in your works, the sooner you clear up the questions the more beneficial it is for you. If Gu Hui Peak doesn’t intend to abandon you, in today’s well-developed Zone 022 information system and you can’t find him, then his situation might be very dangerous, at least not a crisis he can escape from by his own strength."

"Over time, his last traces in this world might also be erased."

The woman apparently knew something, hesitated for a long time before making up her mind, "He had been investing in a bio-company specializing in tackling genetic diseases before selling bone remains."

"Before he disappeared, he said once the work is sold, he would receive a large sum of cash, which could help the laboratory overcome the crisis, and there was hope for my disease to be cured..."

"I don’t know if this is related to his disappearance, but apart from sculpting, he only leaves home for activities when his works are exhibited, I can’t think of anyone he could have offended, this is the only thing he was following up on, but I don’t know the details."

"What bio-company?" Xu Huo asked.

"NS Biological." The woman said, "But after Gu Hui Peak disappeared, I went to the company’s address to look, and there was no such company at all, everything about this company on the Collection of Information Terminal is fake, and there are no drugs or any medical products produced under this company name in the zone."
