"Are you sure?"
Smith thought for a moment and understood what Yue Qi was talking about. He smiled and said, "That's not necessary, my friend. I understand the feelings of a family member who is about to undergo surgery. Of course, what your little boy needs to prepare for isn't a simple surgery … But no matter what it is, he has to walk into the laboratory and lie on the operating table to experience it, right? "
Yue Qi frowned and said, "Tonight, Smith, tonight!"
Smith was still smiling. "Listen to me, buddy! Make sure your child is with you first. Don't let your anxiety affect him. "
"He's already been taken into the cage by the guard." Yue Qi blurted out, but he soon realized that he had lost his composure. He took a breath and tried to reply in a calm tone, "He's not here."
"That's good."
Smith remained relaxed and said, "I believe that you will return to him in the best of moods very soon. Now, you just need to understand one thing. I've emphasized it before.
"He's Option C. Buddy, let me emphasize it again. He's Option C. To be exact, he's one of Option C. This is very important! Do you still remember what Option C is? “
Yue Qi didn't reply immediately. He was listening carefully.
"For tonight's demonstration, Dr. Clay has made thorough preparations, including a fully restored laboratory that was flown in by air, more than thirty lab and medical staff, at least three demonstration plans, and twice as many backup plans … Of course, there are enough volunteers who meet all the criteria.
"These experimental volunteers are divided into three groups, A, B, and C. Each group has three people. Among them, Group A is in the best condition and perfectly corresponds to the existing demonstration plan. There is a 99% chance that the target for tonight's demonstration will be chosen from these people.
"Most importantly, tonight's demonstration only needs one volunteer. Unless all three people in Group A have problems, Group B will be used, and so on … Therefore, the probability of your child being chosen for tonight's demonstration is infinitely close to zero.
"In fact, asking you to come has nothing to do with the experiment itself. It's because you have a high chance of becoming a consumer or an investor in the future. Therefore, this is an invitation, a roadshow.
"If you think about it this way, don't you feel better?"
Yue Qi smiled bitterly and said, "A little."
"Trust me, man. Tonight, you and your child are both guests. The only difference is that the seats are different. "
"Well, thank you, Smith."
Yue Qi wanted to hang up, but Smith called out to him again. "York, you can't miss this opportunity. Right now, the atmosphere in the exhibition hall is very good. Let me introduce you to an important person. Maybe it will make you feel more at ease. You know, area C12 here. "
"…"
Yue Qi actually wanted to spend more time with his child, but Smith had already pointed out his dual identity as a consumer and investor. Some social interaction was necessary, and he couldn't refuse.
"Give me 10 minutes."
In the Emerald Light Cruise Ship, which was like a city on the sea, it was already very polite to say that they would arrive in ten minutes.
Yue Qi didn't waste a second. He first arranged for his secretary, Xiao Zeng, to meet him in Area C. He then woke up the AI butler and planned the fastest way to Area C12.
This was necessary preparation. As a truly high-end cruise ship, the Jadeite Light was defenseless for some people. However, for others, without careful planning, it was very likely that they would not be able to move an inch.
This was what a society with high authority was like.
As the helmsman of a large regional pharmaceutical company, Yue Qi could enjoy the convenience of a society with high authority in most cases. Occasionally, he had to accept the adverse effects of these conveniences. Of course, it was more important to be vigilant at all times.
In this strange and complicated environment, he chose to believe in the AI system.
The route planned by the AI butler was very reliable. Making full use of various tools such as automatic walking belts and elevators, it only took six to seven minutes to go from Area E on the rear deck to Area C in the middle of the hull.
Basically, he couldn't be late.
With the AI butler's reminder, Yue Qi passed through a security gate and entered a long corridor. Coincidentally, he had just taken a few steps when his secretary, Xiao Zeng, came out from the door in the middle of the long corridor. He was also surprised to see Yue Qi.
"Chairman …"
Xiao Zeng was Yue Qi's confidant. He was in his early thirties, which was a useful age. Previously, he had gone to handle some company affairs remotely. He heard Yue Qi's instructions and rushed over to meet up.
The young man had always been very good at positioning himself. Although according to the route, his position in the long corridor was much further ahead than Yue Qi's, he still trotted over and took the initiative to approach Yue Qi.
But at this time, Yue Qi's wrist began to vibrate violently … Xiao Zeng also subconsciously raised his hand.
The AI butler sent a message: "Please stop and return to the CK181 security gate. This area's access rights have been temporarily increased. You do not have access rights.
"Estimated opening time of this area: 14: 22. You can choose to wait outside the area or go around. "
Yue Qi and Xiao Zeng were a little stunned.
This kind of situation was too rare. Even someone as knowledgeable as Yue Qi encountered this for the first time.
Due to his cautious attitude in terms of access rights, Yue Qi didn't have the intention to violate it. If it had been 10 seconds earlier, he wouldn't have crossed the security gate at all. But the problem was that he had already walked almost 20 meters on this seemingly ordinary long corridor.
As for Xiao Zeng, he was obviously further away from the entrance, but he was closer to Yue Qi. He gritted his teeth and sped up, wanting to meet up first.
It was at this moment that another door opened automatically on one side of the long corridor. The location happened to be in the middle of Yue Qi and Xiao Zeng.
Seven or eight people came in from the other side of the door, all dressed in classic bodyguard attire. They were almost no different from the one who had just pushed Yue Zheng back into the cage.
In the middle of these people was a wheelchair. It was so tightly covered that it was impossible to see who was on it.
When the other side saw Yue Qi and Xiao Zeng, they were also startled for a moment. They quickly issued orders:
"Go back."
Xiao Zeng was less than ten meters away from Yue Qi. He reacted quickly and immediately shouted, "We're together …"
The young man wanted to go through the wall and quickly meet up with the boss.
But the space in the long corridor was too limited.
Xiao Zeng hadn't even finished speaking when one of the bodyguards suddenly exerted force and pressed him against the wall. They twisted his joints and directly locked him up. The young man screamed. His whole face was deathly pale as if his joints were dislocated.
"We're preparing to go back!" Yue Qi's back was cold. No matter who the other side was, he couldn't go against them at this time no matter what. But Xiao Zeng was in such a state that it would be inexcusable if he didn't save him.
The burly men on the other side all had a cold appearance carved from the same mold. They didn't respond to Yue Qi's explanation. In fact, they hadn't stopped at all since they entered the long corridor.
Yue Qi and Xiao Zeng were just a small accident that they had casually dealt with.
Realizing this, Yue Qi felt even worse in his heart.
Before he could find a way to deal with it, there was another sound of the door behind him. The security door he had just passed through opened again. There was also a very unrestrained cackling sound.
"The so-called society of authority is a society that legalizes privileges. In this system, you only need to pay attention to one thing:
"Be a model!"
