As he spoke, he placed a small bottle of blue liquid into a tiny alloy box and then closed the lid.
"OK, this box can only be opened by entering the correct password. If the wrong password is input once, it will automatically explode, destroying everything inside," he said.
He opened a secret gate the size of a wall, revealing a large shelf with more than a dozen levels, each holding several small alloy boxes.
All of those contained the various perverted drugs he had developed...
Xu Yao asked uneasily, "All these boxes, they all need a password to open?"
"Of course." Tao Hua put the box in an inconspicuous corner and then closed the secret gate.
When the door shut, it merged seamlessly with the wall.
At a glance, it was just a wall; nobody would guess that there was a different world behind it.
"Are all the passwords the same?"
"Do you think that’s possible? If they were all the same, once someone got hold of the passwords, wouldn’t all my drugs get stolen?" he retorted.
"But can you remember so many passwords? And the boxes all look the same..." Xu Yao asked doubtfully.
Tao Hua laughed heartily, his expression both mysterious and proud, "That’s why only I know what kind of drugs are in which box. And only I can remember the passwords for each one."
Seeing his smug look, Xu Yao was disdainful, "Do you think you’re a genius, or do you think I’m an idiot? Surely each box has its own unique mark."
"Smart. But only I know where the marks are," he said.
After a pause, he turned to Rong Shaoze and said, "Do you still remember that Annie who tried to steal my drugs?"
"What about her?" Rong Shaoze’s memory was excellent, and he naturally hadn’t forgotten the incident that had happened on the cruise ship.
Suddenly, Tao Hua sighed pitifully, "She hasn’t given up. She tries to steal drugs every now and then. But does she think my lab is that easy to break into? Last time I left some poison in the room, she probably got poisoned; she’ll be bedridden for months before she can try to steal again."
"Is that what you wanted to tell me?"
"Of course not, I was just mentioning her situation casually. The reason I’m bringing her up is to have you investigate which organization has employed her and why they are so determined to steal my drugs. You know, the development of ’T5’ is only known to the three of us, yet she knows it too. This suggests that the organization behind her is not simple; they seem to have my every move in their grasp."
Rong Shaoze’s eyes turned sharp, his aura growing colder.
Xu Yao gave a wicked, charming smile, with a hint of chill, "Could it be the Mafia?"
"Impossible," Rong Shaoze said, "Their recent actions are all under our surveillance; it’s not them. Besides, they lack the capability to know Tao Hua’s every move."
Tao Hua’s drug developments were conducted in secret, with the protection of members from Secret Gate and the lockdown of news.
If the enemy could evade Secret Gate’s surveillance and discover that Tao Hua was developing ’T5,’ it indicated the extent of their power.
The chill in Rong Shaoze’s eyes grew more intense, "You had me investigate last time, but I found nothing. It seems the enemy is quite formidable."
And he couldn’t allow an even greater threat to exist.
A murderous glint flashed in the man’s eyes; they knew he intended to destroy that mysterious organization.
After some time had passed, Xiaocong still hadn’t exhibited any adverse reactions.
