Chapter 360 Mysterious Fog (1/2)

The Genesis Biotech Company was just ahead about 200 paces away. Genesis Tower was a skyscraper at least 200 meters high. Its blue glass walls seemed like a mirage in the fog and haze, almost “fairyland-like.”

Ning Tao raised his head to look at its summit, encircled in a cloudy fog. Then he walked towards Genesis Tower. As he walked, he took out his cell phone and dialed Yin Molan again.

Yin Molan’s cell phone was still off.

Worry overwhelmed Ning Tao’s heart. “Don’t be in trouble, or…”

Or what? He dared not think. He was the one who made Yin Molan investigate the Genesis Biotech Company. If something untoward were to befall him, Ning Tao would be conscience-stricken.

Genesis Tower loomed nearer. A few security guards in special service uniform were standing outside the entrance. In the eyes of most men, they were mere security guards. But to Ning Tao, they were warriors with exceptional internal strengths.

Even these security guards were all bona fide warriors. Was this company really so unfathomable?

But it wasn’t difficult to guess. This company manufacturing the Ancestor-seeking Elixir for the Institute of Biology under the Academy of Sciences was certainly no ordinary company.

Ning Tao stopped on the walkway leading to Genesis Tower. He stared at its main hall, his heart wondering, “This Genesis Biotech Company couldn’t be the Chinese counterpart of the Black Fire Company, could it? If so, this must be where that tyrant is.”

The Sky Clinic had moved to Beidu, and the local tyrant here had become a hindrance to his work. On the construction site, he had given his phone number to Li Biao to entice him to call. Earning treatment fees was only one of his motives. The other was to locate the local tyrant.

In Guan City, he had located the local tyrant thanks to him saving the kidnapped girl. Between wicked men, there would often be an inexplicable link, like between a king and his general, or between a general and his soldier. As long as he grabbed the right vine, he would be able to trace the tyrant.

After halting momentarily, Ning Tao walked towards the entrance. The Genesis Biotech Company was just ahead, but he could not enter just like that.

Ring, ring…

His cell phone started to ring with an incoming call.

Ning Tao was hoping desperately it would be Yin Molan, but it turned out to be Li Biao. He continued to walk, swiping up the reception panel to receive the call.

“CEO Ning, do you have anything on tonight?” Li Biao’s voice sounded very polite.

Ning Tao replied, “No, I’m free. Anything the matter?”

“Oh good. I was worried you won’t be free. Well, I’d like to treat you to dinner. My men have prepared some local products for you. I’m sure you will like them,” went Li Biao’s voice.

“Local products?” Ning Tao was somewhat curious. He could not think of any local products he liked from Beidu. Would that be snowballing usury, or fermented mung bean milk?

Li Biao chuckled twice. “CEO Ning, why don’t you come and see for yourself? Where are you? I will send a brother… no, no, I will send my company’s special driver to pick you up.”

Ning Tao replied, “That won’t be necessary. Give me the address and I will come.”

“Okay, This evening at six, Dragon Gate Inn. I won’t send you the map. Just ask around our village,” Li Biao said.

“Dragon Gate Inn?”

“It is one of my food, beverage and entertainment enterprises. Many famous CEOs and rich young men from Beidu like to frequent this place. I’m sure CEO Ning would like it too. So that’s settled. Be sure to come tonight.”

Ning Tao said, “Sure, I will.”

After the conversation ended, Ning Tao glanced at the time on his cell phone. It was already three in the afternoon. He wanted to sneak into the Genesis Tower, but he had not come prepared. He would run the risk of being discovered. He thought better of it and decided to give up this plan. This place was no ordinary company. He must come up with a thorough plan and be fully prepared.

A schoolgirl with a satchel came up to him. She was fifteen or sixteen, wearing a school uniform. Her pretty face was still quite immature, but her bosom was already well developed. She had already entered puberty.

Ning Tao merely glanced at her. He kept his cell phone and prepared to turn back.

The girl suddenly asked, “Uncle, could you give me ¥100?”

Ning Tao was startled slightly. Were kids nowadays all so direct? At this moment, he suddenly detected something, his nose twitching a little.

The girl walked to Ning Tao’s side, extending her hand graciously, asking for money as though she was well justified.

Ning Tao smiled wryly. “Miss Tang, do you find this game amusing?”

This fifteen to sixteen-year-old schoolgirl was none other than Tang Zixian. She had used a Yingu Soul-suppressing Talisman to change her appearance. She was indeed impossible to guard against. If she were an assassin from the Tang Sect, she would have many chances to shoot him before he discovered her identity. Yet if she were to approach him with murderous intent, his sixth sense would have detected her and raised his guard. But since she had approached him as a hoax, it would be quite easy for her to bluff her way in unless he first identified her odor.

Tang Zixian retracted her hand. “I know you will be here. So I was right.”

Ning Tao asked, “What are you doing here?”
