Chapter 2108 The Big Villain

Dr. Drake is an Indian-American and the chairman of the Life Foundation.

After returning from the sampling spacecraft and taking the samples to the laboratory, he stayed here most of the day, observing those fascinating creatures.

It is very weak and fragile, and will quickly die and lose activity if exposed to air.

But through human experiments, he has discovered that as long as these black cuties are parasitic on the human body, they can exist for a long time!

It can also significantly repair damage to the human body, and even terminal illnesses can be cured.

A slightly unexpected side effect is that they are quite violent and not very friendly to their parasites. Many accidental deaths are caused by them themselves.

"There doesn't seem to be much progress."

A calm voice came from behind Drake, and when he turned around, he saw traces of Xu Yue.

After seeing Xu Yue, Derek nodded politely and then said

"Director Xu Yue also knows that we have just obtained these samples not long ago, and it will take time to fully understand them."

Although Xu Yue did not occupy an absolute controlling stake in the Life Foundation, his investment still resulted in 30% of the equity of the Life Foundation, which was even higher than the equity held by Dr. Drake himself, making him the largest shareholder.

But just like other companies, he is only responsible for investment and dividend distribution, and does not care about company management. Most of the small shareholders support Drake, so Drake is the chairman.

But even so, Dr. Drake still had to pay Xu Yue enough respect.

Therefore, after Xu Yue expressed curiosity about this secret experiment, he took the initiative to explain it to him.

In Drake's view, a wealthy and powerful boss like Xu Yue would definitely not reject a parasite that could potentially cure all diseases and even help humans live forever.

Sure enough, Director Xu Yue expressed considerable interest in this and did not care at all about his own human experiments.

"Of course I believe in you, Derek. You have always been very talented, and the Life Foundation has been thriving under your leadership. Even the crash of the spacecraft not long ago had no impact at all."

Xu Yue said approvingly,

Derek quickly said humbly that he couldn't take it seriously.

"Don't be reluctant to invest. If you have difficulties with funds, you can contact me directly, or contact the steward of Wayne Group."

After encouraging Derek for a while, Xu Yue turned and left.

At this moment, Drake's secretary hurriedly walked in, greeted Xu Yue respectfully, and then whispered to Drake.

"Sir, the reporter who made your appointment has arrived and is waiting for you in front."

After hearing the secretary's words, Drake couldn't help but nodded. He had originally arranged the Daily Planet, and wanted to let the media with a strong voice clean up the situation.

There was no way. Although Drake himself didn't care much about these outside opinions, he had to give an explanation to his shareholders, especially to Director Xu Yue.

Even if he didn't show any concern about it, he couldn't completely ignore it.

At the very least, you should try your best to solve the problem.

"Okay, I just happened to go over and take a rest. Can Director Xu Yue come over and take a look?"

Drake invited Xu Yue. Originally, the main purpose of inviting reporters to wash the floor was to show it to Director Xu Yue.

Since they are here, of course he invites them to make them feel more at ease.

In this way, Drake, Xu Yue and Drake's secretary came to the reception room and met Eddie and his cameraman.

"Hello, Dr. Drake, I am Eddie, a reporter from the Daily Planet. I came here this time to cover the recent crash of the sampling spacecraft."

Eddie stretched out his hand to Derek with a smile on his face, as if I had been bribed, which made Derek quite satisfied.

Then we started chatting about this matter.

We have been talking about the hardships of aerospace technology, the investment in this pioneering move, and the compensation for the families of astronauts who have died, etc.

All aspects are creating a setting that the Life Foundation is not afraid of hardships and rises to the challenge, and because of the ultra-high compensation, it also reflects the importance the Life Foundation attaches to its employees and reflects humanistic care.

But up to this point, of course, it has perfectly met Drake's requirements. The scale of the report in front of me is just right. Faced with brainwashing, it will turn into high-level blackmail. It has mixed praise and praise, which just reflects its own advantages. Come to achieve the best results.

He even gained sympathy from the people.

"Then, the matter about the sampling spacecraft has come to an end. I wonder if I can also interview the doctor about other questions."

Eddie's face was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

Because of his initial cooperation, Drake naturally liked him quite a bit, so he naturally agreed.

"That's right. I heard that the Life Foundation obtained some comet samples from the sampling spacecraft. It is said that there are biological signs in them. Is it true?"

Eddie's first question caught Drake a little off guard, but it seemed to be just out of the reporter's curiosity and inquiry, so it seemed normal.

So he answered politely

"We are currently studying the samples we brought back, and we are currently unable to make a conclusion. We cannot rule out the possibility of biological signs."

Drake's words were quite impeccable. He did not completely deny it, but acted as if we were trying to explore it, and maybe we wanted to use this to attract some funds.

"But according to my information, after you brought the samples back, you began to hire some homeless people at high prices to help you complete experiments and tests. Many homeless people have died abnormally. What explanation do you have for this? ?"

Eddie's stabbing speed far exceeded Drake's expectations, and his knife skills were astonishing, fully embodying his peerless knife skills that have made him a reporter.

It was clear that he was trying to help Brother Xi Di in a friendly manner before, but when he turned back he was delivering a fatal blow that was both cruel and accurate.

Because he was caught off guard and did not expect that the reporter would know the inside story, Drake's expression became quite ugly.

A fool would know there must be something wrong with this look on his face, maybe what Eddie said was true.

Seeing Drake's face, Eddie became excited and knew that his strategy was successful. Then he turned back to the cameraman and said

"Did you get the close-up?"

The cameraman, who had a tacit understanding with him for a long time, also made an OK gesture.

Then Eddie didn't prepare to ask any more questions, and regretfully stretched out his hand to say goodbye to Drake.

"It seems that Doctor you don't want to answer this question, so let's end our interview here."

Looking at Eddie's outstretched hand, Derek's face turned pale and he didn't answer for a long time.

Until Xu Yue patted his shoulder comfortingly, then took over the conversation and said to Eddie with a smile.

"This..., his name is Eddie, right? Tell me, how much do you want."

Such a straightforward bribe made Eddie so excited that he quickly signaled to the cameraman next to him, who also faithfully captured the shot.

"Sir, you want to bribe me, right?"

Eddie looked a little reserved.

"You can think so."

Xu Yue was noncommittal and didn't care about the camera filming him.

"Oh, that's really a pity. I'm afraid you're going to be sued for this. This is a matter of professional ethics, not a matter of money."

After taking the photo he wanted, Eddie was ready to leave.

Just when he turned around, he realized that the company's security guards had completely blocked the way behind him.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about how you survived in the Federation until now."

Xu Yue, who was still standing in the camera, didn't care about the angle of the camera at all, looking like a villain.

"Just because you don't like money doesn't mean others don't like it."

"If I can't bribe you, there will always be someone willing to sacrifice their lives."

"In the Commonwealth, money can buy everything."

Xu Yue smiled and took out the voice recorder Eddie had inserted in his pocket, and casually threw it to the security chief on the side.

Then he greeted Drake, who had come to his senses, to leave.

Drake, who had also reacted, glanced at the two of them with a gloomy expression, then nodded gratefully to Xu Yue, followed him, and left the rest to the security guards.

"Damn it, what are you doing? Let go!"

"Is it great to have money?!"

After Xu Yue and the others left, the security guards stepped forward and began to disable their devices, causing Eddie to roar in anger.

Then the roar quickly turned into a groan and a wail...
