297: Chapter 297 Late-Night Research

The way Deathknell committed suicide caught everyone off guard.

Su Nange wanted to use a recovery potion to save him, but the man's skull had already been blown open.

A tube of the potion went down, but there was zero reaction; he was thoroughly dead.

"Sigh, Madam, don't be sad." He had intended to offer some comfort.

But unexpectedly, Shangguan Lingwei backhanded him with a flurry of little punches!

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault! If you hadn't asked those questions, Deathknell wouldn't have committed suicide! You forced him to do it!"

Su Nange: "Damn it!"

There was simply no reasoning with this silly old auntie.

If I hadn't had a sharp eye and noticed something was wrong, would we even know about something like the red bomb? We almost all said goodbye to the world, okay?

You're the one whose values are twisted; not only are you sleeping with your own godson, but you also cheated with a hitman!

If I were Lu Jinhong, I'd kill you too, damn it.

However, come to think of it, Su Nange actually appreciated Deathknell quite a bit, just like the Madam.

That big guy was truly charismatic; he dared to act and take responsibility, was loyal and righteous—he was a real man!

The old auntie might have misjudged Ouyang Yunzheng, but when it came to Deathknell, her eye for people was still on point.

It was just a pity; Su Nange had originally planned to see if he could root out the forces behind them, but with Deathknell's suicide, the trail had gone cold again.

Su Nange fetched a body bag, preparing to wrap Deathknell up for a burial at sea.

Shangguan Lingwei had cried until her tears ran dry and her voice was hoarse: "Wait, let me look at him one more time."

Su Nange thought: His head is blown open, it's so terrifying, and you still want to look?

He suddenly changed his opinion of Shangguan Lingwei a little. Could it be that she really wasn't just obsessed with looks, and she just wanted to pursue her own love?

However, Su Nange still looked at the red bomb in his hand. What exactly was this thing? Could it really destroy the entire Shanghai? He had to hurry back and find Professor Xu Zhiran to study it!

"Auntie, that's enough. Let Deathknell go into the embrace of the sea. If we bring his body back, it won't let him rest in peace."

"Then, I'll take you back to Qiantang first."

Shangguan Lingwei nodded.

Su Nange zipped up the body bag and then went to the cabin where the orca was docked.

He slowly opened the underwater hatch and placed Deathknell into the water.

After finishing, Su Nange made a satellite call.

"Uncle Zhou, the eldest daughter of the Shangguan Family is with me now, and I'm preparing to take her back to Qiantang."

"Mm, thank you for your hard work, Nange. How about this: take her to the Jianqiao military base in Qiantang City; they have people there from the Shangguan Family to receive her."

Su Nange parked the orca in the deep waters of Qian River Bay. Then, he started the Sparrow helicopter, the flight vehicle aboard the orca.

With the green light from Zhou Bingzheng and the Shangguan Family's military, Su Nange had never flown so freely before.

It seems that building a good relationship with the Shangguan Family is actually quite necessary.

In the future, maybe he could even ask them to open doors for his own GTA-style armaments? Hehe?

What Su Nange found exaggerated was that the Shangguan Family had actually sent one of the most advanced fighter jets currently available to provide an escort.

This once again confirmed the exaggerated power of the Shangguan Family.

Although the Sparrow helicopter wasn't large, it was very fast.

They finally arrived at their destination in the early hours of the morning.

Two receiving officers saluted Su Nange; after all, the woman on the plane was the eldest daughter of the Shangguan Family patriarch. Her status was extraordinary.

If she had been captured by hostile forces, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Far away in the capital, Shangguan Zhenyuan let out a long sigh of relief after hearing that his daughter was finally safe.

And his youngest son, Shangguan Qingyue, who was sitting opposite him, sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that, in the end, it was actually that kid who saved my sister."

"It seems our Shangguan Family owes him a favor."

Shangguan Zhenyuan chuckled and said: "Go call your brother and tell him to properly discipline his child in the future. He should learn a thing or two from that young man."

"Dad, is that Su Nange really a descendant of the Wen Family?"

The old man spoke meaningfully: "Whose descendant he is—does that really matter? Tell your brother over the phone to stop dwelling on the matter with Xiaofei. That kid has too hot a temper, and it's also my fault for spoiling him too much."

"Our Shangguan Family has always presented ourselves through martial strength; perhaps that really isn't good. It seems we need to pick someone with both virtue and talent to change the image of the Shangguan Family."

Shangguan Qingyue grasped his father's meaning: "Haha, indeed. Our Lingyi has a naturally good temper."

The old man smiled: "Then the first task is to go thank that kid's nephew, Zhou Bingzheng's nephew."

Shangguan Qingyue: "Rest assured, Father, Lingyi won't have any problems."

Su Nange chatted briefly with Zhou Bingzheng, then ran back to his own company.

Regarding the matter of the red bomb, Su Nange decided to keep it under wraps for now.

Shangguan Lingwei had also promised him that she wouldn't talk about something with such huge implications.

The current situation was complicated and confusing, and she was now more willing to trust Su Nange.

"Professor Xu, Professor Xu! Are you asleep?"

Professor Xu Zhiran was bleary-eyed with sleep. What time was it? Even a workhorse needs to rest, okay?

Besides, when it came to overtime at Ange Technology, who could surpass Professor Xu?

Professor Xu's door opened, and the middle-aged woman was wearing just an ordinary cotton pajama.

When Su Nange knocked on the door, Tang Li next door also opened her door to look. This girl's pajamas were now much more seductive.

"What are you doing? Are you looking for death! You dog capitalist? Do you know I only slept for 3 hours yesterday!"

Su Nange, a big boss, lowered his posture significantly: "I'm sorry to bother you both, but I really have an urgent matter! The kind that's like a Big Bang!"

It would have been better if Su Nange hadn't said anything; the more exaggerated he was, the angrier Professor Xu Zhiran became, and she really knocked him on the head with a knuckle!

"You must have watched too many sci-fi movies, the Big Bang!"

Tang Li was stunned when she saw this.

Holy crap! First Professor Xu Zhiran, then Ding Quxiao. They were too ruthless to the boss, weren't they?

How could this be?

The girl immediately rushed over, pressed herself against Su Nange, and then rubbed his head.

Tang Li wanted to glare fiercely at Professor Xu Zhiran, but was stopped by Su Nange.

Su Nange felt that it was he who had disturbed their rest in the first place. Besides, it didn't matter if he got hit by his "mom."

Except for being too strict with her sister, Professor Xu Zhiran was still very good to him in other respects. Moreover, without her, there wouldn't be Ange Technology.

"Professor Xu, I'm not joking. If it wasn't an urgent matter, I really wouldn't come to you."

"This thing is of great importance, you must keep it safe!"

After saying this, he took out the red pill.

Professor Xu Zhiran's sleepiness dissipated, and realizing the severity, she adjusted her tone: "I'll go change my clothes and come up immediately!"

Su Nange hugged Tang Li, pecked her on the cheek, and whispered: "You must not be mean to Professor Xu, got it? Just treat her as an elder."

Tang Li nodded obediently.

"Alright, you go to sleep first. I'll come over later."

Tang Li was delighted and nodded again.

Professor Xu Zhiran was busy alone in the laboratory. Su Nange waited silently outside.

Finally, around two in the morning, Professor Xu Zhiran came out with a grave expression.

Su Nange: "How is it? Was what that hitman said true? Can this thing really destroy a city?"

Professor Xu Zhiran nodded, her expression very grim!

"Holy crap, you're kidding, right? It's that powerful?"

Professor Xu Zhiran sat down, and Su Nange poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.

Professor Xu Zhiran said slowly: "First of all, this is not a bomb in the literal sense. You should have been able to guess that."

Su Nange nodded; if something this small could destroy a city, it would have to be an atomic bomb, right? It definitely wasn't that.

Then it could only be: "A biochemical bomb?"

Professor Xu Zhiran nodded.

"The ingredients inside are similar to the corpse parts you brought back for me."

"But it's very obvious that this capsule is concentrated who knows how many times over."

"It has a nano-scale protective shell on the outside, so it won't easily break. But once shattered, this thing will, due to pressure, rapidly radiate over a certain range."

"However, for it to spread to the size of a city, I'm afraid that's a bit of an exaggeration."

"I think the reason they said that is highly likely because this thing has strong transmissibility once a host is infected."

Su Nange nodded, agreeing that Professor Xu Zhiran's analysis was correct.

He had fought Arroyo. After using the enhancement potion, the man had turned into a monster. And he looked like he wanted to eat people.

He felt a lingering fear now; if he had really been bitten at that time, he would have become a monster too.

Su Nange felt it was very ominous: "That's too terrifying, I must hurry and report this to Secretary Zhou!"
