Potions... Pharmaceuticals!

Xie Junping was finally not that stupid. His mind went round and round, but his mood became even worse.

Quantum Company is not giving people a way to survive!

You must know that a considerable part of the Xie family's industry is in the field of cutting-edge pharmaceutical manufacturing and sales, and its strength is strong. But compared with Quantum, one of the top three giants in terms of market value in the world, the confidence is still insufficient.

Quantum Corporation rose rapidly after the war. In the early 1990s, based on the "Prototype Format Theory", it proposed the concept of "Burner", built the "Deep Blue Platform", and launched the "Deep Blue Walker", which changed the war between humans and aberrations. model, immediately regaining a large number of traditional human territories. From this point of view alone, it can be called a great company that changes the world.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Quantum Corporation seems to be developing its efforts on weapons platforms, but the essence of its series of research is actually a major breakthrough in life sciences, and its accumulation in related fields is definitely one of the best in the world.

Now, this capital giant is finally extending its tentacles into the cutting-edge pharmaceutical field - several pharmaceutical companies in which the Xie family has shares are probably going to panic for a while.

But if you think about it carefully, for any qualified capitalist, reliable information obtained in advance is definitely an astonishing wealth.

Seeing Xie Junping in a daze, Zhang Yingying crossed her arms and sneered:

"Yanggu, is it worth it

"It's worth it! It's worth it!"

Xie Junping's face has always been for sale. He slapped his own face with a playful smile: "Yingying, you are so kind. I will remember your goodness for the rest of my life..."

Zhang Yingying's little face is so tender that she can squeeze water out of it, but she is essentially an invulnerable woman. She doesn't even raise her eyelids: "Okay, this year's fee will go up by 50%, right? I'll thank you on behalf of the boss."

Xie Junping immediately withered and hurriedly said something else: "Well, by the way, do Quantum Company and Ronan have Liang Zi? That 'prototype format theory'..."

Zhang Yingying responded lazily: "No matter how Yan Hong commits academic misconduct, the results sold to Quantum Company are certain. An individual's size is meaningless compared to a capital group. Quantum Company will not care about such a small ant. , don’t scare yourself, okay?”

Xie Junping didn't really care about this matter, but it reminded him of another problem. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "Ronan is now being taken to the warship. Do you think he will..."

"If you're worried that people will sell you out, just say so."

Zhang Yingying sneered: "Although selling you is the most normal thing, at present, it is not possible! According to reliable information, he has not said a word since he was taken into custody."

"Really?" Xie Junping was a little suspicious. According to common sense, there was no need for Ronan to take the blame for him.

Zhang Yingying spread her hands: "You can never guess what is going on in the mind of a 'dark hero' who only wants to leave his name in history. For example, the video..."

"video?"

"Yeah, you really think the police won't access the security video automatically recorded on your Phantom worth 500 million?"

"Ah? Ah!"

Zhang Yingying sighed: "By the time you realize it, the police record will be gone! Don't worry, it has been deleted."

Xie Junping clasped his hands together and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Yingying, for your thoughtfulness."

"I don't need to take credit for others... This is another righteous act of the 'dark hero'."

"Damn, Renyi!"

Xie Junping was really shocked now. It was an irrefutable fact that the car was in his name. As long as Ronan cooperated with the police and told the truth, combined with the recorded video, it would be easy to eliminate the suspicion.

However, Ronan chose to delete the video and remained silent, giving Xie Junping room for buffering. This was a huge favor!

Xie Junping thought hard and didn't understand how Ronan could do this. In the end, he could only sigh:

"Benevolence and righteousness, unparalleled benevolence and righteousness!"

Having said that, at this moment, Xie Junping was thinking, how about smoothing things over and letting the "dark hero" take the blame

It’s easy to talk about compensation afterwards...

But then I thought about it, whether it is the ability to take the blame or to frame someone, the number of operational links in the middle will definitely increase, and the uncertainty will definitely increase significantly.

The Phantom Speed is in his name after all. No matter what, it will be difficult for him to turn himself into a white lotus.

Also, thinking about Ronan and those pair of enchanting eyes, Xie Junping felt a little chill in his heart for no reason, unsure of what to expect.

"Yingying, you said..."

"What's wrong, are you using your brain?"

"No, that's not the case!"

Xie Junping thought about it, it was really hard to say that kind of thing, so he just stamped his feet and that was it. People had already gone to this point, so he couldn't be cowardly. He had to fish the person out first.

Well, until then, please let the "Dark Hero" continue to be benevolent and righteous!

Ronan, who was "unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness", was sitting alone in a corner at this time. Behind his back and under his body were cold metal plates, and there were no signs on all sides. The roughness and coldness of a battleship stuck in his heart.

Ronan digested similar "mental foreign objects" quickly, but others in the same cabin did not have such an easy time. Everyone looked restless.

No one would have thought that in what turned out to be a normal security incident, they would all be taken to a military ship and imprisoned.

At first, these rich kids were clamoring to go through the procedures and hire a lawyer, but after more than an hour passed, not even a single response was heard. Outside the closed cabin, there were only cold combat robots guarding it, and thick riot guns that looked painful.

In the end, more than a dozen people could only stare at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and gradually stopped.

Ronan's head was lowered, breathing vaguely.

It is now 8 o'clock in the morning. Normally at this time, Ronan is already waiting for class in the classroom, and must have eaten breakfast for at least five people - maintaining the "container" structure is expensive and requires a lot of energy.

At present, Ronan can only eat and use the most traditional human chemical method to convert food into energy to replenish his consumption. And he also made some extra preparations, such as energy bars in his pocket.

But today's accident caused him to use up his energy bars early, leaving him with no way to replenish them. As the usual meal passed, Ronan felt that a black hole had opened in his stomach, endlessly squeezing the energy from his flesh and blood.

Under normal circumstances, hunger is not so severe. But because he was taken to the transport ship, Ronan had to pay an extra price.

Ronan was forcibly detained on suspicion of "illegal possession of prohibited drugs." Although the police did not have time to conduct interrogations, simple tasks such as urine testing and sampling were mandatory soon after boarding the ship.

This is a necessary procedure and there is no excuse for it.

Ronan could swear to God that he was 100% not a drug addict, that he had never touched the "drugs" in the box, and that he was 100% not a member of Xie Junping's "circle of friends."

But the problem is, before going out in the morning, the proportion of prohibited ingredients in the entire tube of medicine he injected was absolutely off the charts! Maybe the total amount of banned ingredients in everyone present could not reach a fraction of his.

According to this logic, Ronan really has mud falling out of his crotch, and he can't tell the difference no matter what.

Because of this, as soon as the incident happened, Ronan deliberately activated the "Big Stomach King" skill to speed up the body's metabolism.

For Ronan, time sped up.
