"Can you tell me now?"
After the nanny Sister Zhang left, Gu Haiming turned around and looked at Xia Xu.
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Xu, and I'm a temporary consultant for the special department. I'm responsible for assisting in handling the bat-animal transformation incident in Decheng."
Xia Xu introduced himself with a smile, and added: "Well, by the way, there was a werewolf incident in Star City a while ago, and I was also the one who handled it."
"Special department? Official people?"
A ray of reverie flashed across Gu Haiming's eyes, as if he were in another world: "Have the authorities discovered the existence of werewolves?"
"Of course, the government has now set up a special incident handling department, or the special department for short, to deal with crises such as beastmen."
Xia Xu explained with a smile, and then said: "But I am not an official person, I am just assisting as a temporary consultant, and I am not here in the name of the official this time."
"So, Mr. Xia, why are you looking for a mentally ill old man like me?"
Gu Haiming's attitude was still not friendly, but he no longer had the obvious hostility he had before.
The official golden signboard is still quite useful.
Being hired or cooperated by the official means that at least his background will be relatively clean. In addition, Xia Xu has dealt with the incidents of werewolves and bat men one after another, so the possibility of him being Andra's minion is relatively low.
"Of course it's to invite Mr. Gu. You are not just an ordinary old man."
Through Gu Haiming's reaction, Xia Xu was 80% sure of his guess. He spoke with more calmness and confidence, and his face was filled with smiles.
"Are you inviting me to a nursing home? Or a mental hospital?"
Gu Haiming sneered and shook his head.
These words were self-deprecating, but obviously they also contained a certain amount of habitual vigilance towards Xia Xu, or towards everyone.
"If you, Mr. Gu, like to build the laboratory under these institutions, I don't mind buying one."
Xia Xu smiled and said directly: "It's not easy to find a top genetics expert like you. If I'm not mistaken, you should have participated in the werewolf experiment more than 20 years ago, right?"
"How did you..."
Gu Haiming's expression changed slightly, and he asked subconsciously, but he soon realized that this was undoubtedly a disguised admission, so he quickly shut up.
But now that the words have been spoken, it would be a bit self-deception to take them back.
"Grandpa wants to ask me how I know this?"
Xia Xu smiled brightly: "Didn't I just say that I was just guessing? I wasn't sure at first, but now you've confessed it yourself."
"You just said you're not here in an official capacity, don't you think you should give a more detailed self-introduction?"
At this point, Gu Haiming no longer tried to cover it up. He lowered his head and sighed, then looked up at Xia Xu again.
"Well, a detailed introduction?"
Xia Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "A high school student? A college student in reserve? Mr. Xia, an enthusiastic citizen of Xingcheng? The future successor of the motherland? Which one do you want to hear, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Haiming: “???”
This series of "strange" titles instantly turned Gu Haiming into a double emoticon package of Lao Hei's question mark and an old man on the subway.
He thought about the young man in front of him who might report a series of titles, including cross-border groups, family consortiums, secret organizations, etc., but he never thought of any of them that could be linked to the current ones.
So it doesn't just look like you look young, but you're actually a high school student
Why would a high school student come here under the official banner, talk to me about the Andra Group, and try to recruit me to participate in biological research
None of these things seem to be related to a young boy, right
"Haha, just kidding."
Xia Xu smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "In fact, I am also the boss of Xinghai Venture Capital and the upcoming Xinghai Biopharmaceuticals. The purpose of my visit this time was just mentioned, which is to invite Mr. Gu to Xinghai Biopharmaceuticals to lead research."
After hearing what Xia Xu said, Gu Haiming's questioning expression relaxed. It was obvious that these were the identities he could accept more.
Just kidding, how could a high school student talk to me about these things? It's too incongruous.
"You should have seen my current situation. I have a problem taking care of myself, let alone leading a scientific research project. Mr. Xia, please go back."
After listening to Xia Xu's self-introduction in silence as a sign of respect, Gu Haiming still shook his head.
"Mr. Gu, I'm young, don't fool me. You are obviously researching something secretly. There is a laboratory in the basement."
Xia Xu smiled nonchalantly and pointed to the ground: "If I guess correctly, you should be studying the newly emerged bat people and the gene fusion serum that created Yao Fu recently, right?"
"Is this intelligence from the special department?"
Seeing that Xia Xu had uncovered all his secrets, Gu Haiming was speechless for a moment.
"No, this is my intelligence. Of course, there is also a little bit of analysis and speculation."
Xia Xu smiled and said, "I have no other intention in saying this. I just want to have a real frank talk with Mr. Gu. Please give me a chance to invite you."
"Well, I can't promise you that, but I can give you a chance to convince me."
Gu Haiming sighed slightly and said, "You can take out your chips now."
He knew that Xia Xu must have some bargaining chip that he thought could convince him.
But he didn't think that Xia Xu had anything that could impress him, or rather, he himself didn't even know what he wanted now.
"My bargaining chip is actually very simple. Andra and I are both enemies. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"
Xia Xu said with a smile.
"You know this too?"
A hint of coldness appeared on Gu Haiming's face.
Xia Xu understood that the coldness was not directed at him, but at the name he mentioned.
"It's not very clear, just some subjective guesses."
He shook his head honestly.
"The Andra Group is a complex organization with many connections and has offended many people. Do you think you can convince me based on this alone?"
Gu Haiming narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xia Xu seriously.
"Of course, it's not just that. I rely on the funds that can support your research and my ability to accurately identify talents."
Xia Xu smiled and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that I also have a grudge against Andra, and I also have a special intelligence network to uncover their hidden forces and accurately detect and disrupt their actions."
Gu Haiming automatically filtered out Xia Xu's previous words, but Xia Xu's last sentence made his eyes narrow: "How do you prove it?"
The most terrifying thing about the Andra Group is not just its strength, but its intricate hidden forces.
Many perhaps inconspicuous companies, laboratories, and even non-profit organizations may very well have the Andra Group behind them as its hidden capital.
In fact, it is not too complicated to carry out this kind of concealment. There are already too many classic business cases of offshore capital cross-holding AB shares, etc. At the very least, it is easy for the Andhra Group to support a puppet.
It is like a big tree with its roots deep underground. No matter how you cut it off or pull it out, no one knows how far the roots spread underground, let alone when more branches and roots will grow.
And he had grown so big that it seemed difficult to find a saw in the world that could cut him.
Even harder to find is someone with a saw who’s brave enough to cut.
"If you prove it..."
Xia Xu pressed his neck with his backhand, and the mechanical centipede spine embedded in his back crawled out along his shoulder, and along with his re-stretched arm, it rolled into a ball in his hand: "This thing is called a mechanical centipede spine, a trophy obtained when we blocked the Andra Group's jump plan."
"Not enough. In fact, it only makes me more suspicious of your identity."
Gu Haiming shook his head.
"Don't worry, there's still this."
Xia Xu smiled disapprovingly and took out a small bag of white pills. "The extension project of the Jump Plan, the final result of the Super Brain Project, the SB-13 Super Brain Potion, all the samples and technologies were intercepted by me. I bet that Andra Group must be going crazy looking for this thing."
"Super Brain Project?"
A gleam of light flashed in Gu Haiming's eyes.
Obviously, he was not completely ignorant of the movements of the Andhra Group over the years.
In that case, Xia Xu wouldn't have to waste any more time talking.
"Yes, this is the final product of the Super Brain Project. Unfortunately, the developer seems to have been killed because he defected to Andra."
Xia Xu said regretfully: "I don't think Andra would be willing to use this to fool you."
