Chapter 449: Peerless Beauty

Smith also knew that Ye Su and his group were hiding something and wanted to speak up to stop them, but the situation was severe and did not allow him to act recklessly.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Smith's phone rang, and the soldiers' gazes were drawn to him.

He answered the phone with a very solemn expression, "Team Leader."

A barrage of scolding came from the other end of the line; even without the speakerphone on, others could vaguely hear a little bit of it.

"You bastard, when can you give me the data I asked for yesterday? You hang around outside every day, and every time I come to the research institute, I can't see a shadow of you. What did I hire you for?"

Smith listened quietly, and when the anger on the other side subsided just a little, he said somewhat humbly, "I am currently being blocked outside; they won't let me into the research institute."

The soldier was a bit flustered and immediately tried to distance himself, "Mr. Smith, you can go in at any time, but these two people must stay behind for inspection."

Hearing this dialogue on the other end of the phone, the team leader suppressed his anger and asked, "Who are they?"

Smith explained the ins and outs in detail, and the team leader told him to hand the phone to the soldier, shifting his fury directly onto them.

"What are you all doing? Do you know how important this experiment is? Every minute you delay here is a delay to the national situation. If every person who recruits a small assistant has to be checked like this, then the experiment might as well not be done at all, and everyone can just accompany you in your inspections!"

One accusation after another was leveled at them. Knowing the team leader's temper, they could only humbly offer apologies.

After the call ended, the head guard nodded and bowed to Mr. Smith, hoping Mr. Smith would put in a few good words for them in front of the team leader.

Once they were inside, Ye Su quietly walked over to Smith's side, "Who is this team leader? Why is everyone so afraid of him?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before reaching the laboratory, Smith immediately gave them a crash course.

Their team leader was a student from Majin University, a top-tier institution in the Beautiful Country that ranked among the best in the world.

His name was Hua Dan. During his time at school, he published papers and could often be seen in journals and reports. He followed his mentor to participate in experimental research at a young age and had competed on a global scale.

Of course, those who could work in this research institute were no ordinary people. Most importantly, his father was the Secretary of State of the Beautiful Country, considered a high-level official.

Ye Su nodded, indicating he understood.

Smith cautioned Ye Su, "If you want to get in touch with the vaccine, you will inevitably have to deal with him. He is the only person in our research institute who has participated in vaccine development."

Ye Su's eyes lit up; a lead so soon.

"Then how much does he know? If the raw materials are sufficient, can he replicate the vaccine completely?"

Smith did not dare to be certain and said somewhat conservatively, "He definitely knows more than others, but our status is just like this, so I don't know what position he holds in vaccine research." ### CHAPTER 451
