Chapter 254 Baron Coleman's Past
For Fulo, he has gradually become accustomed to this feeling of being ignored.
Looking at Lin Yu, Coleman and Punkdo, Fulo sighed.
"Come on, Mother Xie, if you want to stay, just stay."
He leaned back against the wall of the carriage, and then sighed: "So... the so-called 'unjust cases' should happen to you one or two, right?"
Baron Coleman nodded: "Of course, if you are talking about unjust cases, Punk Duo and I do have an injustice that has been carried for many years."
Punkduo was stunned for a moment: "Me? Do I have it too?"
"I've really forgotten so many things."
Punkduo rubbed his temples and said with a painful expression.
"Speaking of injustice... Could it be that the assassination of the president of Truth Company was not done by you two?"
Lin Yu asked aloud.
Baron Coleman denied Lin Yu's question: "No, that matter was indeed done by the two of us. It would be better to say - the reason why I made up my mind to assassinate the president was because of the injustice I carried."
He looked at Fulo.
"No one who has been slandered does not want his reputation to be proven innocent. Since you are here for my injustice, I will tell you..."
Baron Coleman cleared his throat and then spoke.
"Eight years ago, I had just been promoted to the director of the No. 7 independent laboratory of the R&D Department of Truth Company and obtained the A-2 level authority. I discovered some loopholes in the laboratory's log files - the difference between the fund accounts and the actual project funds. "
"At first, I thought it was just the former supervisor or some researchers in the laboratory who had misappropriated funds, but then I thought about it and realized something was wrong."
"Because if it is misappropriation of funds... all the people who enter the laboratory are smart people, and there should not be any flaws that I can see at a glance, especially since my entry into Laboratory No. 7 was a legal transfer and promotion - this means "Before I entered this laboratory as a supervisor, the previous supervisor and other people who were qualified to manipulate the project funds had at least half a month to balance the accounts and make everything beautiful."
"So, I thought about two possibilities at the time."
"One is that someone deliberately left this loophole and wanted to recruit me, the new supervisor, to join the team. As long as I don't report it, they will contact me."
"And since the loopholes are so obvious, it means that they have prepared a 'scapegoat', and they may have their backers among the company's board of directors and top executives - so they are not afraid that I will not cooperate, even if I report it, It won’t break their bones.”
"This is equivalent to a very 'obscure' invitation...so I plan to accept this invitation."
Hearing this, Punkduo on the side couldn't help it.
"Jerry Coleman Hunter... how come you've become so... so diplomatic just a few years from now in my memory."
Punkduo couldn't help but call out the other person's full name.
Baron Coleman is not a nickname, but a real honorific. Although the city that never sleeps is technologically advanced, its system is relatively backward, and there are still many powerful people and aristocrats.
His mother was born into a distinguished family, so he also inherited the title from her.
And his real last name is actually "Hunter".
And because of some old memories in the family, few people who interact with him call him by his full name.
Punkduo shouted this, obviously really shocked and implying disapproval of him.
Baron Coleman smiled back and also addressed his old friend by his full name: "Ponctole von Valletti, if you want to say that I am treacherous and slippery, you don't have to hide it so much."
"You only need to know that we were already close friends at that time, and your personal relationship with me was almost as good as biological brothers."
"You won't be clean even then."
Although there was a smile on his face and a calm tone, Lin Yu could hear the anger in Coleman's words.
"I also became so fast?"
Punkto said in disbelief.
Fu Luo couldn't help but interrupt: "I didn't say that, but if you were a good person... you wouldn't have been selected to undergo the transformation of the 'Eighth Level of Disaster'."
"What is that?"
Punkduo scratched his head in confusion.
"Okay, don't interrupt, I'll talk to you later," Baron Coleman abruptly interrupted the topic, "Anyway, I waited for three days and no one came to me, and I realized...this is actually another question. A situation."
"Someone still deliberately left this loophole, but it was not an invitation, but a reminder."
"It's not that someone wants to drag me into some small interest group that embezzles public funds, but there really is someone at the top of Laboratory 7 who doesn't even have my A-2 level of authority to know about. The ghost project.”
"So...I went to investigate."
said Baron Coleman.
"Wow, you actually went to investigate. What a standard start where curiosity killed the cat."
Fulo sighed: "Based on my attitude toward Truth Company, you should turn a blind eye."
Lin Yu glanced at Fu Luo and wanted to say, "You are worthy of saying that other people's curiosity killed the cat."
But "Zhu Ming" and Forpolo were not familiar with each other after all, so Lin Yu still held back his complaints.
"Truth Company is like this, but I am not," Baron Coleman said, looking at Lin Yu, "And what I find out next can also answer your two questions, madam."
"Why was I spared, and... why did I go with Punkto and finally choose to assassinate President Paris."
"Because I spent nearly three months to find out what the ghost project that was eating up a lot of funds was - to be precise, it was not just a ghost project under the No. 7 independent laboratory."
"3, 6, 7, 8, 12... In the twelve independent laboratories of Truth Company, I found the same accounting problems in four of them as No. 7, and even in the No. 3 and No. 12 laboratories, there were "ghost employees" - there were several extra B-level accounts that did not belong to me. Any known researcher."
"This is just the part I found out."
"If you combine these people and the money, you will piece together a whole new... ghost laboratory."
"There is a board member or executive decision-making level or the highest-level executive who has a lot of connections and secretly set up a laboratory that other senior executives may not allow to study some "taboo" topics. "
"When I investigated to this point, I also realized... I seemed to have touched something extraordinary, but although I was nervous at the time, I didn't feel that I was on a dead end - after all, I still thought that I could join."
Coleman said, pausing.
"But this naive idea stopped after I knew what they were actually researching."
"The project made by this ghost laboratory originated from a topic and technology that was ordered to be stopped fifty years ago..."
Coleman looked directly at Lin Yu: "All of that technology comes from an A-level researcher, Professor Dot."
"And Professor Dot has only one proud student in his life, his name is..."
"Vill Valletti."
