Chapter 470 - THE MAN BEHIND IT ALL (2/2)

The Chairman wanted to back away from the demonic girl, but he could not muster the courage to look into her eyes. All he could think was that he should have killed her. Instead of letting Harriet hunt her for her experiments, they should have killed her.

”What do you want from me?” The Chairman asked with a trembling voice. ”I have already lost everything. There is no hope for rebuilding the organisation or my life. Is it not enough?” he asked.

Hu Lei laughed. ”If you know about the grotesque creatures created in your labs, people robbed of the last speck of their humanity, you should understand that it will never be enough. Your sins will follow you to your death.”

The Chairman wanted to plead his case again, but Hu Lei lifted a hand to stop him.

”But I do not care about your mortal soul. What I want to know is everything about the person behind you. I want to know who supported and protected the International Health Alliance.” She said.

The Chairman froze for a moment. ”I don't know what you are talking about. We had many supporters, such as powerful people in the business world and politicians in various places in the government. We did not have a single supporter.”

While he feared this woman and man before him, he was more afraid of that person. He had only met him a few times, but he had known how cold-blooded he was. A single word would end up in his death. He did not dare to be careless.

”I was afraid you would say that.” Hu Lei said.

She took out a tiny spray bottle from her glove and looked at it. She was careful to get the right item before use. She did not want to end up like a certain comical spy in a movie who kept confusing their special tools. It was funny on TV, but it would not work out so well in real life.

She sprayed a small puff near the Chairman's nose. This drug was a concoction she had ordered from one of her cousins a few weeks back. Her father had taught her how to make a lot of poisons and drugs to help her deal with any trouble. She still remembered everything.

This drug was a formula she had modified a little to extract information from stubborn people.

When the drug hit the Chairman's brain, he felt a little woozy. It was not like an alcohol high. Rather, his mind did not feel like it belonged to him. He tried to shake the feeling of detachment, but he could not free himself.

Hu Lei smiled as she looked at the foolish and lost look on the old man's face. She looked at Zhong Feng with smugness on her face. He was a little amused and reached to pat her head. She turned back to the captured prey.

”Tell me, who was supporting the International Health Alliance from behind?” She asked.

The Chairman seemed to fight something for a few seconds before speaking. ”I don't know his name. He came to me five or six years ago and offered me a deal. He has never said his name.”

Hu Lei frowned. ”Can you describe him?”

The Chairman hesitated again, but he still answered. ”He is a young man, probably in his early twenties. He has white hair and red eyes.”

”What did he want?” She asked.

”He said he knew about our secret labs. He wanted to use the resources to find a solution to a medical problem. We presented the problems to our research scientists and sent him regular reports about the progress of the issue.” He explained.
