Meanwhile, the research institute was engulfed in darkness.


    A shadowy figure stealthily descended the stairs and merged with the night.


    After securing the copied documents, the figure quickly sought out the previous buyer.


    “Here’s all the technology and information you need.


    There are a few minor issues, but they won’t impact the production or sales of the drugs.


    ”


    The two individuals he met were the same fake researchers Hannah had previously seen.


    One of them inspected the item thoughtfully before nodding to hispanion.

    Then, the person turned to the man across from them and proposed, “There’s an additional task we need your help with.


    For this, we’re willing to increase the payment by two million dors.


    ”


    The man’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and he licked his lips.


    His involvement in these risky ventures was driven not only by financial gain but also by a perverse sense of pride.


    “What do you need me to do?”


    “The buyer we’re meeting tomorrow night is highly knowledgeable.


    We can’t manage him alone.


    Last time, his associates nearly had me at a loss for words.


    If it weren’t for that fool from the Mitchell family stepping in, it could have cost us millions!” exined one of the fraudsters.


    “You must apany us tomorrow night for the deal.


    Your exnations need to be convincing enough to persuade him!”


    “That’s out of the question!” the man responded hastily, his anxiety apparent.


    “My role is limited to handling the sale of the biopharmaceutical technology.


    I refuse to be dragged into any other schemes!”


    The two fraudsters shared a look before fixing their menacing gaze on the man.


    “Then perhaps we should disclose your illicit activities and your theft of projects!”


    “How could you break your promise?” The man across from the fraudsters was clearly upset.


    “I told you I’d sell you my project and you’d pay up.


    I’m not showing up in front of anyone else.


    You promised me!”


    The two swindlers exchanged looks and then focused on the man.


    “Honestly, this time the sucker’s offering more money than before.


    And he’s sharper, too.


    We need to handle this wlessly.


    We’re talking about a deal worth hundreds of millions; our promise to you is minor inparison.


    ”


    One swindler gently tapped the arm of the other, then turned back to the man and exined, “You want money, and so do we.


    If we close this deal, we’ll give you 3 million dors, making it 8 million in total.


    Why not consider it?”


    Eight million dors.


    That figure was alluring.


    The man across from them fell silent for a moment, considering.


    “Alright, I agree, but I want half of it in advance.


    ”


    “Done.


    I’ll wire the money tomorrow morning and have a car pick you up in the evening.


    ”


    The following afternoon, Hannah came to the research institute.


    When Lewis spotted Hannah, he greeted her, “I’ve been working on that program you wanted, running several experiments over the past few days.


    There are still a few loose ends to tie up, but don’t worry, it should be ready soon.

    Judy added, “He’s been at it day and night; I can vouch for that.


    ”


    “Don’t worry about work right now.


    I know you’ve all been swamped with the projecttely.


    Since my project’s been a headache, I thought I’d treat you to dinner tonight.


    ”


    They had just attended a gathering two days ago, and Hannah’s new invitation puzzled everyone.


    Ste was quick to decline.


    “I’m not into parties.


    I’ve mentioned this before.


    Plus, I haven’t resolved everything with the project yet.


    I’d rather not go out for dinner.


    ”


    Hannah wasn’t taken aback.


    She then asked Phoenix, “How about you?”
