Chapter 1495: Chapter 1493: News

Three days later.

The experimental base.

With the help of Yang Chen, all the data were sorted out and put into use in three days.

Of course, in Yang Cao’s eyes, this efficiency was incredibly slow, and he was out of patience to complain.

But Yang Chen insisted on an eight-hour workday, and once the time was up, he would be dragged away without any room for discussion, regardless of whether the work was finished.

So, Yang Cao was also quite helpless.

"This delays a lot of things! Time is extremely valuable for scientific research; who knows, others might have already developed something new while we’re falling behind!" complained Yang Cao.

Yang Chen, however, was unfazed and said, "I think it’s fine. This level of efficiency is good! It ensures work is done while also guaranteeing your safety and health. It’s perfect!"

"..." Yang Cao was speechless.

The two entered the laboratory.

In recent days, with the data Yang Cao brought back, research progress in the lab had been swift, and several experimental subjects had shown significant changes.

Even one completely out-of-control experimental subject exhibited signs of improvement. If the experiment could succeed, they could attempt to reverse mutations and treat infected individuals or animals. This research was extremely important to Yang Chen, who valued it greatly.

After encouraging everyone, Yang Chen left the laboratory, while Yang Cao stayed behind to continue experimenting.

For a scientific research fanatic like Yang Cao, Yang Chen was also helpless and could only instruct the nearby Weihu, "Keep an eye on him, don’t let him overwork himself!"

Weihu shrugged helplessly, "You know his temperament; I’ll try my best!"

Yang Chen frowned slightly and said in a serious tone, "Say it’s my demand! It’s a mandatory requirement! If this continues, we’ll have problems even if nothing is developed!"

"Yes!" Weihu could only agree with gritted teeth.

"By the way!" said Weihu, "There’s something I think you’d be interested in."

"What is it?" Yang Chen asked puzzledly.

Weihu handed a tablet to Yang Chen.

Upon taking a look, Yang Chen’s eyebrows immediately furrowed!

"When did this happen?" Yang Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Three days ago!" Weihu replied.

"Three days ago..." Yang Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He wanted to open a browser to search for related news but suddenly remembered that this was an internal network, incapable of connecting to the external network and collecting external information.

At once, Yang Chen said, "Prepare immediately, I’m going back to Ningchuan!"

"Yes!" Weihu immediately went to make arrangements.

Yang Chen checked on Ye Xin’s location and headed there at once.

Ye Xin was in the lower-level laboratory, watching as people researched the experimental subject they had brought back from their country.

This experimental subject was currently the most stable one.

A living experimental subject offers much more value than mere data.

As long as it’s here, there can be continuous research and more informative data and direct information can be obtained.

For these reasons, Ye Xin personally oversaw the monitoring of this living subject over the past couple of days.

Finding Ye Xin, Yang Chen noticed that she was meticulously recording some data.

"How’s the situation?" Yang Chen asked softly.

Ye Xin looked up, her beautiful eyes glancing at Yang Chen, and her stern face instantly broke into a radiant smile.

The lab assistants nearby were filled with envy.

During the past two or three days, this beautiful woman was like an iceberg, not showing a hint of a smile. Even so, she was as beautiful as a blooming rose in summer, filling their work with enthusiasm.

Yet now, with Yang Chen’s arrival, this beautiful woman has shown a smile they had never seen before, stunningly beautiful.

Envy is not a strong enough word to describe their feelings...

"It’s going well! The cells of the experimental subject are very active, with a very rapid metabolism, requiring a high energy intake, so a lot of nutrition is needed. However, in a cold environment, it goes into automatic dormancy, and the internal energy consumption is very low! This is quite remarkable. Some experts speculate that if he’s buried in the Arctic, there would be no problem digging him out hundreds or even a thousand years later!" Ye Xin said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "That’s really impressive! If humans had such an ability, it would be great!"

Ye Xin shrugged, "Gain comes with cost. Didn’t you see how he’s shrunk to a child-like size? Do you want to shrink as well?"

"I don’t want to! This size is just right for me!" Yang Chen immediately widened his eyes.

Ye Xin’s face turned slightly red, seemingly reminded of something.

Yang Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it okay to hand over the work to someone else now?"

"No problem at all!" Ye Xin batted her eyes, "Everything is basically stable now; the foundational information has been gathered. For deeper research, it’s up to Yang Cao and his team, and they can take over anytime."

"That’s good then!" Yang Chen nodded slightly, "Come with me to Ningchuan to handle some matters!"

"Alright!" Ye Xin grinned radiantly at Yang Chen, her white teeth like jade, her beautiful eyes like the moon.

Seeing Ye Xin’s smile, Yang Chen felt significantly uplifted.

In the afternoon, after Ye Xin finished coordinating her work, the two left the base.

As usual, Yang Chen declined any accompanying entourage and drove Ye Xin himself, heading towards Ningchuan together.

On his own territory, Yang Chen was confident enough to ensure both his and Ye Xin’s safety, so he wasn’t worried.

Along the way, Yang Chen learned from Ye Xin about the events of the past three days.

Three days ago, media started attacking the Shangdong Group, and under extreme rhetoric, stocks of the listed companies under the Shangdong Group took a significant hit, suffering serious losses.

Moreover, the Shangdong Group was currently in a legal battle with Ningchuan News.

The earliest report came from Ningchuan News, immediately following Shangdong Group’s failure in the overseas market. It was very prompt, even before Shangdong Group had time to react.

Later, Shangdong Group demanded Ningchuan News to delete the report and apologize, but was met with a refusal and extremely unfriendly attitude.

Of course, Shangdong Group would not take this lightly and immediately retaliated by suing Ningchuan News!

But this matter was like playing whack-a-mole; knock one down, and countless others pop up. Suddenly, news about Shangdong Group appeared on various platforms like bamboo shoots sprouting after a spring rain.

Under such opinions, Shangdong Group’s market suffered a major blow, and its image in the public’s mind took a hit, even leading to its downfall.

"Have the forces behind this been identified?" Yang Chen asked coldly.

Ye Xin put down the tablet and looked at Yang Chen, "Based on information received from Ancheng, the force behind it is likely the Yuan Group! Shangdong Group’s overseas market plan failed because of the Yuan Group’s interference!"

"The Yuan Group!" Yang Chen’s voice was terse with meaning, his eyes slightly narrowed.
