There was a man in uniform, short and stout, with sharp eyes and a faint smile on his face, none other than the head of the department, Mr. Henry. Another person was slightly thin, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and had a serious demeanor. He was the head of the Pharmaceutical Management Bureau, Mr. Gian. The last one was dressed in a suit and leaning on a cane, Mr. Berman. The two investigators, seeing the presence of these three, did not dare to slack off, quickly stood up with smiles and greeted them. "There’s nothing for you to do here, you should leave." Mr. Henry said politely to his subordinates with a faintly sinister tone. The two did not dare to be negligent, nodding and smiling, they hurriedly left. Everyone knows, although their boss seems to have a good temper and always smiles, he is definitely a Smiling Tiger, and demands strict compliance from his subordinates. If they are slow to leave, they might get into trouble. Mr. Gian, with his gold-rimmed glasses, casually pushed the door shut. Mr. Henry meanwhile smiled and gestured "please" to Mr. Berman beside him. Mr. Berman nodded, with a half-smile walked over. "Mr. Henry! Mr. Gian! Mr. Berman! What exactly do you want!" Lai Yin couldn’t help but frown, raising his voice. In one day, he had met Mr. Henry and Mr. Gian multiple times. Although it was Mr. Berman’s first appearance, due to the incident involving Lin Weiwei and Grace’s capture, he was not unfamiliar with Mr. Berman. Mr. Berman, unhurried and unabashed, walked directly opposite Lai Yin, and sat down. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel⸺fire.net Mr. Henry and Mr. Gian waited at a slightly distant place. "Do you know me." Mr. Berman asked with a half-smiling look at Lai Yin. "I didn’t know at first, but thanks to your hospitality towards my friends, how could I not know Mr. Berman!" Lai Yin mocked, "And this time, thanks to you, Mr. Berman! I am here because of you!" Mr. Berman laughed, leaned back into his chair and said leisurely, "That’s good, that’s good! I wouldn’t want to have gone through all the trouble sending you in here and you not knowing it was me, nor why I did it. That would have made me very unhappy! You caused a scene at my manor, I had to give you some payback!" Mr. Berman openly said these things. Lai Yin pointed at him immediately, looking towards Mr. Henry and Mr. Gian, exclaiming, "You both heard what he said, it’s all his scheme! I’m innocent, our research project is innocent!" Mr. Henry and Mr. Gian exchanged a smile and completely ignored Lai Yin’s accusations, casually discussing other matters. Lai Yin’s expression was one of shock and anger. He wasn’t too naive; although he had initially suspected they might be untrustworthy, this blatant collusion with Mr. Berman was really arrogant. "Look at you, yelling for nothing. You researchers are so naive. You expect them to expose me when they are pillars of the city elected after I became mayor!" Mr. Berman said, fingers interlaced as he rested his hands on the table with a smile. Mr. Henry and Mr. Gian couldn’t help but glance over with a laugh. Lai Yin’s face turned extremely dour. "Actually, if your team had cooperated with Mr. Ma earlier, you wouldn’t be in such a predicament now! People would be out of trouble, and your experiment wouldn’t have been abandoned halfway!" Mr. Berman looked regretful, seemingly pitying Lai Yin’s team. "Such a shame, you in pharmaceutical research should know there’s no regret medicine in this world! Even if you now want to cooperate, there’s probably no chance anymore. And I will extinguish your research while it’s still in the cradle!" Mr. Berman said, drawing closer, lower his voice with a sinister look directed at Lai Yin, "Daring to cause trouble at my manor, daring to attack people at my manor, especially my most esteemed partner, you are too audacious! If I don’t deal with you, who am I to deal with!" It was clearly a retaliatory action by Mr. Berman, of course, also under the instructions of Ma Tianqing. If things were accomplished, Ma Tianqing would be greatly thankful. "This Haru City has been ruined by pests like you in capital!" Lai Yin glared at Mr. Berman. "Before capital, pests are also kings. Unlike you, not even pests." Mr. Berman sneered. Lai Yin was too furious to speak. "I don’t know why Mr. Ma was rushed to return abroad, nor why he couldn’t find Mr. Bai’s address, otherwise I could deal with you all together. If Mr. Bai dares to let me catch sight of him, I would surely make you good companions! Letting you know, there are some people in this world you can’t provoke, provoking them will lead to big trouble!" Mr. Berman said with pride. Lai Yin coldly stared at Mr. Berman, suddenly chuckled. "Do you want to meet him, that Mr. Bai? You will achieve your wish, but don’t regret it later!" Hearing Lai Yin, Mr. Berman seemed to have heard something amusing, and laughed heartily. In Haru City, in his own turf, an outsider could make him regret? Before Mr. Berman could taunt further, the interrogation room door was knocked, and then a guard poked his head in, respectfully addressing the three big figures, "Gentlemen, someone is here to visit Lai Yin." "Who?" Mr. Henry asked offhandedly. The guard’s response froze all four people in the room to look at him. "He says his surname is Bai."
