Chapter 992: Feigning ignorance while actually understanding?! Spy within a spy?

~7 min read 1,205 words

If Gao Lingchi's illegitimate‑son status were established.

Then all of his actions could be explained.

First, his disdainful, commanding attitude can explain many issues.

Second, the "Blockade" command is not a permission ordinary people possess.

As a deputy manager, he can not only lead a team but also disregard regulations, make no reports, and act on his own.

Of course, the Company has risk‑control regulations.

Special circumstances call for special actions.

But Gao Lingchi's behavior does involve a certain degree of overstepping.

"How do you know?" Su Yang asked.

"Are you talking about his status?" Tiger pointed at his own eyes, "All thanks to it!"

Su Yang rubbed his chin and recalled the recent encounter.

At this age, having such a backing and being overbearing is not surprising.

After all, there are many second‑generation rich kids who treat a feather as a battle standard.

But he never disclosed this secret from start to finish.

Even when Su Yang displayed murderous intent.

It could also be because Su Yang covered his Mouth to keep him silent.

Nevertheless, Gao Lingchi's appearance is somewhat suspicious.

"Which departments does he oversee?" Su Yang asked again.

"41–45," Tiger replied.

"That does fall within the jurisdiction…" Su Yang furrowed his Brow.

"Do you suspect someone is pulling strings here?" Tiger, relying on his keen Scent Perception, sensed something amiss.

She had also heard about Su Yang's matter.

The incident caused a huge stir; almost the entire Company was discussing it.

Yet no one inquired about Gao Lingchi's death.

It seemed an invisible giant hand was covering it up.

The speed was so fast it preceded Su Yang's communication with the Supervisor.

Then…

She thought, this is a special protection mechanism.

Or simply a desire to keep the matter from escalating?

Regardless of which, she felt the matter wasn't that simple.

Just Su Yang standing there unharmed was enough to indicate something was off.

"Does the Supervisor know this secret?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"He should know, I guess," Tiger was also uncertain.

"Assuming she is aware, then this cannot be a coincidence…"

Su Yang's eyes flickered as he slowly said, "She knows I would destroy the Laboratory and deliberately arranged for Gao Lingchi to come over early to handle it?"

He admitted that this line of thought contained a bit of conspiracy theory.

But having been framed by design for years, Su Yang has to stay guarded.

The title of illegitimate son can be big or small.

As the Company's youngest deputy manager, his ability is somewhat present, but most of it comes from backing.

Sharp eyes can spot the clue, yet who would think he is a descendant of the Company's biggest figure?

"Back to the point, who knows you could damage the Machine?" Tiger asked, puzzled.

Logically, livestock know to run when they feel pain.

It is a risk‑avoidance instinct etched in the genes.

Other Gene Modification warriors are even clearer about their own limits.

They do not take risks lightly.

Especially those players who have enjoyed the gospel, they fear death the most.

Even with Innate Talent at hand, they dare not make decisions lightly.

After all, this is only the first Re-modification.

In a huge Company of hundreds, not a single person dares to push limits like Su Yang.

And each instrument has already preset its peak value.

Moreover, researchers, to keep their livelihood, dare not issue commands casually.

Thus, with all these combined, Su Yang's performance can already be called absurd.

Perhaps even he himself never imagined what his future would hold.

How did the Supervisor guess that?

Regarding this, Su Yang pondered and said, "The Energy Factor in each Gene Modification warrior's body is insufficient to propel them to the Fifth Tier."

"Except you and me!"

Tiger's eyes flickered, hesitating, "Are you saying… the Bee King?"

Su Yang gave a slight nod and continued, "Let's call it 'Jade Nectar'; after drinking it one clearly feels stronger."

"Yet our own digestive capacity cannot fully process it."

"A large portion remains in a free state, hidden throughout the body."

"Don't you think this is very similar to an Energy Factor?"

Tiger thought for a moment, his brows furrowing, "Are the essences of the two the same?"

Snap!

Su Yang snapped his fingers and said, "I didn't initially think about breaking the limit, because I wasn't clear where the potential ceiling was."

"It wasn't until the Electric Shock intensity kept increasing that the massive free Energy Factor finally manifested."

"I possess a Self‑Healing ability beyond ordinary people, so I decided to try."

"The result proved the path is viable."

"That also explains that exquisite nectar and Gene Modification Fluid are the same thing."

"The latter must be a diluted product."

"So if you are the mastermind, having seized the Information Gap in advance, what would you do next?"

A single word awakens the dreamer.

Tiger was instantly enlightened and blurted, "Does the Supervisor know we drank that thing?"

Su Yang nodded, "Both you and I have a Crystal Core in our brains; it is not only a controller but also a locator."

"But that is…" Tiger began, then stopped.

That is a product of Tenglong Company!

Old Aunt, as a senior executive of Imperial Company, how could she know another company's details?

Unless…

Su Yang said softly, "There may be unknown secrets inside."

"First, it is certain that Old Aunt sent Gao Lingchi to his death."

"She knew our movements in advance and guessed our actions."

"Gao Lingchi's death—paper ultimately cannot contain fire."

"Tenglong Company, to gain fame for the Bee King Master, launched a raid; likewise, Imperial Company will probably, in the not‑distant future, unleash thunderous fury and Settle Scores with the culprits."

"Blue Whale Company's movements are currently unclear, but the mastermind behind the scenes will certainly not let them act alone."

"And the Enforcer Department will not stand idly by as White Bear City falls into turmoil."

"If you are the mastermind, what would you do?"

Tiger suddenly fell into contemplation.

Indeed, the Main Quest among players varies.

No one knows what they are scheming.

Even she herself does not yet know the method of Clearance.

But one thing is certain—

As long as chaos erupts, a way to break the deadlock can always be found.

"If the original serum produced by the Bee King's descendants is the focus of the Gene Modification plan, then Tenglong Company could not possibly share it."

"I have said before that they stole the technology."

"Now it seems the Bee King may have also stolen it."

"Gene‑modified soldiers are more or less the same, and Incubators are also much the same."

"Could there be a possibility…"

"That these three companies are actually in a cooperative relationship?"

A flash of insight crossed Su Yang's eyes, and he signaled, "Continue."

Tiger gathered their thoughts and then said, "Bee King's original serum is the key to subsequent enhancements and also the medium for Gene Modification."

"Therefore, before that there must be another crucial item."

"Tenglong Company is not a benevolent entity; it would not share without cause."

"That is to say Imperial Company and Blue Whale Company each hold an equally crucial item."

"The three companies cooperate—"

"and also counterbalance each other!"
