260: Chapter 260: Turmoil in the South 260: Chapter 260: Turmoil in the South Su Wanqiao’s beautiful eyes hardened.
Was this another approach for the Heavenly Medicine project?
She responded directly, “I’m sorry, I have no plans for cooperation at this time.”
On the other end of the phone, the leader of the Polaris mercenary group spoke in a profound voice, “Ms.
Su, don’t be hasty in refusing.
Our cooperation is your only chance.
The release of the Heavenly Medicine technology and its impact on the global pharmaceutical industry, you are no doubt aware of its significance.
Currently, medical powers across the globe have their eyes on you.
Some wish to steal your technology; others want to destroy it…
to make Heavenly Medicine disappear completely.
You…
have already incited the wrath of the global pharmaceutical community.
Don’t you understand?
How can you, alone, withstand the retribution of the entire medical industry?
Only I…
can protect you.
My Polaris Mercenary Group possesses top-tier armed forces globally, and I can protect you from harassment.”
“No need, thank you for your kind offer.
My company has its own security team capable of protecting me,” Su Wanqiao said calmly, rejecting the offer once again.
A joke, expecting a partnership just from a simple phone call?
Impossible.
She had no intention of collaborating with anyone on the Heavenly Medicine technology.
On the phone, the leader Majal’s voice remained profound, “Ms.
Su, you must understand one thing, there are only two possibilities between us, either you choose to become friends with us, or…
you choose to become enemies.
If you refuse to cooperate, I’m afraid…
we can only become enemies.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanqiao’s beautiful eyes narrowed.
A threat?
“Is that so?
Then let’s be enemies; I have plenty already and don’t mind adding one more,” Su Wanqiao retorted confidently while holding the phone.
Having offended plenty already, she had no concern for one more foreign mercenary group.
“Heh…
you truly have courage, Ms.
Su, I respect that,” the leader’s voice from the phone carried an icy and chilling tone, “I hope in the coming days, you…
will not regret your decision.
The Heavenly Medicine technology, Polaris must obtain it at all costs.”
Su Wanqiao replied coldly, “I never regret my decisions.”
Without waiting for a response from the other side, she hung up the phone.
In recent days, all sorts of riffraff had been calling to threaten her, demanding she hand over the Heavenly Medicine project.
Su Wanqiao was almost tormented to death by these calls.
Moreover, she was in Yanxia, known as a no-go zone for mercenaries.
She refused to believe that the Polaris Mercenary Group would dare to come here.
…
Thousands of kilometers away, in the Imperial Capital.
In the highest martial department’s office,
Chen Bu’e sat in his chair, smoking a cigar, flipping through a stack of intelligence reports.
The reports contained various incidents that occurred in Jiangnan and information on Su Wanqiao’s Heavenly Medicine.
When Chen Bu’e saw Su Wanqiao’s Heavenly Medicine technology, his brows furrowed slightly.
“A Heavenly Medicine that targets all kinds of cells and viruses?
Can reverse all cancers?
Heh…
interesting,” Chen Bu’e remarked with a smirk as he read the report.
“This Su Wanqiao has something indeed,” said Chen Bu’e as he exhaled a smoke ring, his voice deep.
Two high-ranking military officers, each wearing general’s insignias, stood before Chen Bu’e.
To Chen Bu’e, even these high-ranking officials were merely subordinates.
“Commander Chen, Hades in Jiangnan is a ticking time bomb.
Should we expel him?” asked the two subordinates.
Chen Bu’e glanced at them, “Expel?
Who can chase him away?
If we use force against him, we’ll likely cause more chaos.
And…
Su Wanqiao’s Heavenly Medicine technology is also a ticking time bomb.
Sigh.
Heavenly Medicine…
This technology will surely draw global capital’s attention.
Our Dragon Nation…
is in for troubled times.”
Chen Bu’e had anticipated the chaos of global capitals fighting to seize the Heavenly Medicine technology.
With such miraculous effects, the technology would inevitably spark a battle among global powers.
And this was unavoidable.
“Commander, what do we do?
Should we…
offer sanctuary to Su Wanqiao, have our government officially protect her?” the subordinates inquired.
Chen Bu’e glanced at them, “Are you foolish?
Even if we did offer her sanctuary, would she accept?
With her temperament, she would never cooperate with our government.
Otherwise, she would have already sought political asylum.
We have no reasons to protect her officially.”
“Moreover, if we did protect her officially and those foreign powers acted against our officials, wouldn’t that lead to a conflict at the political level?
We cannot and should not intervene in this matter.
It’s a private enterprise issue and must be resolved by her own means.
If we get involved, it would only escalate the situation.”
Chen Bu’e sighed, facing a private enterprise, they indeed should not intervene too much.
Dragon Nation encouraged a market economy and free competition.
If the government intervened, it would disrupt the environment for free commerce, adversely affecting the capital market.
Hence, the government could not step in.
“What do we do then?
If things continue this way, Jiangnan will become even more chaotic,” the subordinates said with concern.
“Sometimes, a double negative becomes a positive; don’t you understand that concept?” Chen Bu’e said with a deep gaze, “Hades is a ticking time bomb, and so is Su Wanqiao’s Heavenly Medicine technology.
Let Hades stay by Su Wanqiao’s side to protect her, it’s perfect to stabilize the situation.”
Upon hearing this, the gaze of the two generals sharpened?
