Empire Spring [Rebirth]

Chapter 68 Investigation

When seeing Tim again, Chris even felt like a different person.Tim was always arrogant and indifferent in front of him before, no matter how difficult the situation was, he would never forget his reserve, but at this moment Tim looked really panicked, and looked a little innocent and cute.

"What happened?" Chris couldn't help but ask.

Tim looked at Chris, then at Chu Qi, clearly expressing his distrust.

Chris almost laughed at him: "Don't forget that the place you are hiding now is my house."

Chu Qi said at the right time: "It's okay. Tim, what did you say before?"

Tim had already obeyed his words unconditionally. At this time, he gradually calmed down and started to talk from the beginning: "I just finished meeting the business partner introduced by my family that day. Because the conversation was good, I temporarily thought of going back to the old house after the end. Thanks to those old men. I didn’t expect to encounter traffic control on the way, so I felt something was wrong, so I inquired through other channels on the way back, only to find out that the whole family was controlled by the military, saying that it was investigating the manufacture and sale of contraband. At that time, my first thought was that something happened to the new project. Even in a remote galaxy, the mass production must not be hidden from people, but the reaction was too fast, right? They even went to the hospital. Something happened to those researchers too. So I didn’t dare to go anywhere, and I’ll inform you right away.”

"Wait," Chris finally couldn't help asking a question he had wanted to ask a long time after hearing this, "Are you doing something dangerous?"

When Tim heard this, he smiled at him after a long absence: "Now that you know, you probably won't be able to get rid of it."

Chris didn't know how to react for a while, and he said after a long time: "I don't think you refused to accept me before, it shouldn't be because you don't want to hurt me or something."

Tim turned his head so as not to make eye contact with him, and said sullenly, "You think too much."

It was only at this time that Chu Qi was able to interject and ask Tim: "Have you been in contact with anyone?"

Tim shook his head: "It's too late to hide, how could I be so stupid as to throw myself into the trap. But I don't understand, it's just a new drug, and it's a type that has never been defined, how can it be related to contraband? Those outlying galaxies The big manufacturers have even obtained the batch number locally, so what went wrong, it is worth the military to intervene and investigate with great fanfare, even the hospital is closed?"

"Perhaps your new drug is very profitable, and if the higher-ups want a piece of the pie, it's better to take over the whole thing..." Chris helped him analyze.

When Chu Qi heard this, he roughly grasped the situation. "Before those people's hands are stretched so far, tell those manufacturers to step up production and put them on the market soon." He made a quick decision.

"So the military won't investigate?" Tim was taken aback.

Chu Qi shook his head: "Of course not. But whether to investigate or not to investigate, it will have no effect on the outcome of the matter." When he spoke, there was even a smug smile on his lips, and the things that had been planned for two lifetimes finally came to fruition. Realized, at this moment, my heart is rare and clear.

"So what do we do?" This is the question Tim wants to ask most.On the bright side, Chu Qi had nothing to do with this matter at all, it was just bad luck that he donated to a somewhat illegal laboratory, and his boyfriend was also the eldest son of the imperial head of state...Thinking of this, Tim's heart ignited. There was a glimmer of hope: "Whether it's the military or the government, it doesn't matter if they want a piece of the pie, or take it all away, if we let them go, for us, it's nothing more than losing some money, right?"

Chu Qi looked at him and fell silent. It is difficult for someone who has not personally experienced the past to truly understand the real needs of the state apparatus, but there is nothing wrong with this.He explained lightly: "What those people want to know most is the source of the technology. Everything else is not important. As long as the merchant is ordered to destroy the data, everything will return to normal."

"Isn't the source of the technology Ebner and the others?" Tim felt relieved again, "Those people are either doctors or teachers. Even if they are caught, they shouldn't be punished, right?"

"Then maybe." Chu Qi whispered, "Until the matter is known, you should prepare to avoid the limelight."

"Where are you going?" Tim asked a little nervously.

Chu Qi turned to look at Chris: "I don't think you would mind offering him a little help, would you?"

Perhaps due to the situation, Tim did not refuse, and Chris did not refuse.Although the two of them still had unclear entanglements, Chu Qi thought that what he could do had already been done, and the rest could be left to fate.

On the capital star side, it was another situation.

Gilbert came all the way to Capital Star, and his whole person was in an unreal state.

As a humanoid bug, he doesn't really need to do anything, just be obedient.But those researchers' arrangements for him were so good that he was a little at a loss.

Ebner didn't take him back to the hospital, but directly led him to his home.The doctor who took off the mask was unexpectedly young and tall, which made Gilbert vaguely afraid to look directly at him. Although he is also an alpha now, he might become stronger when he grows up.

Aware of the other party's embarrassment, Ebner smiled and said: "Since you completely listen to my arrangement, I will randomly choose one of the identities that I have arranged for you before, and then take you to register in our school. You are not very good Can you? You can try the placement test and choose your favorite major.”

"Your school?" Gilbert asked puzzled.

"Capital Star First University." Ebner said quite proudly.

Gilbert could hardly believe his ears: "Is everything you said true? I have a chance to be a student at First University?"

"You have talent, but it needs soil for growth. I think First University is very suitable for you." Ebner slowly explained.

Shocked, Ebner could hardly speak.For him, it's a dream come true, but what if the truth comes out?Will he lose everything he is about to get?

"Why are you so nice to me?" He murmured.

Ebner smiled frankly: "I also want to see with my own eyes whether the gender-changed alpha will become a true genius."

The people who tracked the signal went all the way to the Capital Star and then to the First University, and they couldn't believe what they saw.He didn't dare to neglect, and quickly reported to William, who couldn't help being a little surprised.

"So it's all done by the First University?" He thought for a while, and decided to report the results first.

When the head of state saw the news, he almost instantly remembered the incident he had seen in the file.

He quickly summoned several core military and political ministers and showed them the events retrieved from the archives.

After all, this is not a glorious thing, and the records in the file are not too detailed, but a few sentences are enough to silence the people present for a long time.

If this technology is popularized, anyone can choose their gender according to their own wishes, the people will seize power, and the regime will change, which will have a subversive impact on the empire.As nobles, they knew very well that the empire was originally built on the suppression of races divided by pheromones. Once this foundation was overthrown, the consequences would be disastrous.

Finally someone asked: "The head of state is showing us this now, is there any special purpose?"

"Because similar things have happened now." The head of state replied solemnly.

Unlike 60 years ago, this time the situation is more complicated, because it is no longer pure and naive academics who master the technology, but those mercenary businessmen.

"The huge interests are there, and they will definitely take the risk and go against the empire." Someone said angrily.

"So as soon as I received the news, I will inform you to conduct a comprehensive investigation. As long as there are any clues to the company, it will be closed down first." The head of state said slowly, "If anyone in the family here is involved, I hope that the overall situation can be resolved." The most important thing is to cooperate with the investigation."

"It's natural." Everyone agreed.

"This matter is of great importance. Everyone, please go all out and search closely in your respective areas of responsibility." The head of state finally issued an order.

The huge state machinery started to operate. Before Gilbert played a role, some of the pharmaceutical companies that Tim contacted were ordered to suspend business for investigation, while some began to be put into production in large quantities, and they were sold privately after receiving wind. The small time advertisements are overwhelming and spread in all the remote galaxies.

At the same time, William quietly returned to Capital Star and began to investigate clues about the First University.

Gilbert has now become a full-time student at First University. Given his elongated body and upright appearance after genetic modification, he is actually quite popular among his classmates.This made him fall into a huge worry about gain and loss while he was swaying.

When people from the military appeared in front of him, Gilbert said Ebner's name without any hesitation in order not to lose everything he had now.

So Ebner was taken away by plainclothes soldiers as soon as he walked out of the classroom after class.

The subsequent interrogation was a little simpler than expected, and Ebner didn't feel that there was anything shameful about the new results, so he confessed it exactly.It’s just that he kept one point. Out of the self-esteem of a scholar, he couldn’t admit that this achievement was actually owned by others. No matter how hard the other party pressed him, he only said that he was the inventor.Probably this kind of psychological suggestion was too strong, which made him fool himself and pass the polygraph test.

"It looks like this." Alger reported to William.

"Very good." William got up, took all the materials, and hurried to the residence of the head of state.
