Speaking of which, Mo Heng's face turned from sunny to gloomy the moment he returned from his business trip and found the leave slip Silin had left in the workshop. It caused everyone in the research division to keep quiet out of fear. Everyone knew that Sir Mo was in a bad mood, very bad at that.
Because he knew certain things about the military operation, Mo Heng refrained from contacting him. It was only when he heard that the operation had come to an end, and that Silin had analyzed and synthesized over a hundred antibodies by himself that Mo Heng's mood improved a little. To quote Vice Headmaster An Ting's words, the old fox's tail had risen a little higher.
But Mo Heng didn't expect that Sir Mo's cloudy mood would turn into a storm the moment he heard that Silin was in trouble. Mo Heng's expression turned even darker as he listened to Huo Neil's explanation.
"You're saying that my disciple made such a great contribution despite his injuries, but in the end, he was stabbed in the back?!"
Huo Neil was silent. With his understanding of Mo Heng, it was best not to speak at this time.
"What's the situation now?" Mo Heng's voice turned deep and heavy. It was so heavy that it was almost unbearable.
"After resuscitation, the doctor said that he has stabilized a little …"
"I'm still worried. I'll rush over with some people right now …"
Huo Neil was contacting Mo Heng from a lounge next to the emergency room. While Huo Neil was sweating profusely as he dealt with Mo Heng, a medic knocked on the door and came in. Huo Neil had told him before to inform him the moment there was any progress from the emergency room. Seeing that Huo Neil was contacting him, the medic passed him the tablet.
After reading the contents of the tablet, Huo Neil immediately felt a little more confident.
"Elder Mo, I just received news that Silin is out of danger."
Seeing Mo Heng's obviously distrustful gaze, Huo Neil took the communicator into the emergency room and showed Mo Heng the vital data on the device. Then, he looked at Silin's complexion. It was only after a long while that Mo Heng finally believed him a little. However, he still requested that Silin be sent back to Seven Lights as soon as possible. Otherwise, Mo Heng wouldn't be at ease.
"I'm telling you, this old man won't bat an eyelid even if everyone in the base is fed to the rats. Their value added together is far less than my disciple's! Why should others pay with their lives when they themselves are incapable of causing a major incident? Bah, bah, f * cking pay with their lives … Why do they need someone else to wipe their ass for them?! "
His son, General Mo Qing, was a true disciple of the old man. Back then, Huo Neil and Gerrard had experienced General Mo's ruffian temperament firsthand. Once his ruffian temperament was activated, it would be hard for anyone to stop him from doing what he wanted to do. Not only that, the opinions he made were absolutely the opposite of subtlety.
For a person like Mo Heng, when he was in a good mood, he would put on the appearance of an amiable senior academic, but when he got angry, he would have to pray for the best.
That was the principle of a bully's temper. The world they face is big, but the world in their hearts is not necessarily big. So, when they want to protect someone, don't stop them. Huo Neil knew this very well. That was why he could only remain silent in the face of Mo Heng's outburst of extreme remarks. He would listen to them one moment and forget them the next. Otherwise, it would affect Sir Mo's amiable image when it got out...
It was a good thing that he had asked all the medical personnel to leave when he came in. Otherwise, sigh, there's no point in talking about it.
After giving Huo Neil a few more instructions, Mo Heng finally disconnected reluctantly. However, Huo Neil had to report to Mo Heng about Silin's situation every hour, or Mo Heng would personally rush over with his men. There was no way Huo Neil would dare trouble Sir Mo.
After disconnecting, Mo Heng's expression didn't look much better. Ever since he decided to accept Silin as his direct disciple, he had investigated the Douance Family. He knew about the dirty tricks and dirty dealings within the family. The Douance Family's influence in the ten trade Sectors could be considered great, but it was completely useless to Mo Heng. Mo Heng looked at a person's ability, not their background or the benefits brought by their identity. He even hoped that Silin could leave the Douance Family. It would be best if he didn't have any background at all, so that he wouldn't be caught in those dirty fights.
However, now that something like this had happened, Mo Heng wouldn't just stand by and watch his disciple suffer. Someone had to pay the price.
Although Mo Heng was in the academic field, in fact, the old man also had a heart of iron and blood. Just look at General Mo Qing. To be able to teach a person like General Mo, how could the old man be a soft-hearted person?
Mo Heng adjusted the signal transmission code on his communicator and dialed a number...
Some people had stretched their hands too far. They had gotten used to running amok in the ten trade Sectors, so they didn't know how big the universe was!
Huo Neil, Knight and the others began to track down the culprit. It didn't take long before they heard that the woman had committed suicide by injecting cyanide into the medicine warehouse. Moreover, she didn't avoid the warehouse's surveillance cameras and injected a large amount of cyanide right in front of them. She had no way to live after failing her mission and exposing herself. She couldn't understand why Silin was still alive even at the moment of her death. It had been so long since the injection, but he was still alive.
How did this woman sneak into the medical ship? And who was covering for her? The interrogations and checks on medical personnel were also relatively strict. She definitely had accomplices, and more than one at that. It could be a soldier, it could be a researcher, it could be a medical personnel...
Huo Neil also knew the complexity of the situation. When he recalled the promise he made to Mo Heng, Mo Heng immediately decided to have the ship send the wounded back to Seven Lights first. Silin, Pride and the others would assign special personnel to watch over them. Nothing could go wrong, or else the epaulets on his shoulders would have to be removed.
While everyone was busy, Silin's mind was very clear even though he was asleep. He knew what was happening around him, knew Mo Heng's concern for him, and knew that Knight, Hard and Sird had been standing guard outside the door all this time.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't touched. Genya had told Silin when he was very young that humans were social animals. The number of people who had brushed shoulders or swept their gazes across the galaxy was more than a hundred billion, but the number of people who truly treated you well could be counted on one hand. This was a kind of wealth that could not be obtained no matter how much money or how long one spent. Even a loner would have a longing hidden in the depths of their heart.
This show was developing according to Silin's expectations. He predicted that those people would have a backup plan, and the moment he saw the woman holding the medicine tray on the monitor, he knew that the backup plan had come. That was why he had left his communicator on and left a trail for Knight to trace. Even if he couldn't, he could still force the killer to his death. This kind of killer who failed his mission and exposed himself was dead for sure.
However, this incident also allowed Silin to feel the warmth he hadn't felt for a long time. It was the comfort he felt again after Genya and Hena left one after another. When he was lying on the sickbed, there was at least someone standing guard on the other side of the door.
For someone his age, he had experienced too much.
