Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 167 Rescue of the Fifth Dream

Zhou Zhiwei doesn't sleep much. When Li Xi came over, she was already awake, and a middle-aged woman was helping her comb her hair.

Hearing Li Xi's hurried footsteps approaching, Zhou Zhiwei's fingers, which were holding the hairpin, tightened slightly. She turned around, raised her eyes, and stared intently at Li Xi.

"...Xi Bao, has your uncle sent you a message?"

Li Xi, leaning against the bedroom door frame, gasped for breath, "Alive!"

"Grandma, my mother is still alive!"

Zhou Zhiwei suddenly stood up.

She got up too quickly and almost fell, but luckily the aunt next to her caught her in time. "Aunt Wei, don't rush, take care of yourself."

Zhou Zhiwei gripped the woman's hand tightly, her voice choked with emotion as she whispered, "Lan Yin, did you hear that? Meng Bao is still alive. I'm not dreaming; she really is alive."

"Aunt Wei, you heard right, Miss Meng is really still alive!"

"Great!"

Zhou Zhiwei turned to face Li Xi. The old man's eyes were filled with tears, and Li Xi was also very emotional.

"Grandma." Li Xi walked over quickly and took Zhou Zhiwei's arm. She said, "I'll go with you to see Grandpa. He and Huaizhou are discussing their next plans right now."

"···good."

"Auntie Wei, please wait a moment. It's cold at night, so don't forget your shawl." Lan Yin took a thin shawl and draped it over Zhou Zhiwei's shoulders. Together with Li Xi, she helped Zhou Zhiwei into the car before turning back to the small building.

"Grandma, what is the relationship between Aunt Lan Yin and Lan Wei?"

"She is Lan Wei's aunt."

"So, Grandpa Lan Cheng's daughter?"

“Yes.” Zhou Zhiwei pulled her shawl tighter and told Li Xi, “Lan Cheng has two daughters. His younger son is named Lan Yu, who is Lan Wei’s father. His second daughter is Xinghe’s mother, Lan Qing, who is also your mother’s personal assistant.”

"Lan Yin is Lan Cheng's eldest daughter, and Lan Qing and Lan Yu's older sister."

Li Xi crossed her long legs, looking thoughtful, her fingertips lightly tapping her thighs.

Zhou Zhiwei watched the movement of her fingers, a thoughtful look appearing in her gentle eyes. "Xi Bao, what are you thinking about? Grandma is a trustworthy person, you can tell me."

“Grandma, there’s something fishy about my mother’s disappearance.” Li Xi took some time to tell Zhou Zhiwei about her and Gu Huaizhou’s previous speculations.

Zhou Zhiwei thought her grandmother would be upset after hearing these words, but she remained calm and composed. "Your grandfather and I guessed what you're saying."

"We have a traitor among our ranks."

Zhou Zhiwei said, "Mengbao, like Luo Wen, was raised as an heir from a young age, and they are both wary. The person who would betray your mother must be someone she trusts."

“Your uncle, Lan Qing, Lan Yin, and two cousins ​​in the clan are all suspects.”

Seeing that her grandmother had included Luo Wen on the list of suspects, Li Xi suddenly moved closer to Zhou Zhiwei and, suppressing a laugh, praised her: "Grandma, when you were young, you must have been a wise, decisive, and captivating girl."

"Grandma, do you think Uncle is suspicious?"

Zhou Zhiwei shook her head and said, "I will not doubt my child."

"Purposely speaking, he should be on the suspect list. But in Grandma's heart, your uncle is not a suspect at all."

"Will Grandpa suspect Uncle?" As a mother, it's normal for Zhou Zhiwei to understand and trust her child, but she doesn't know what Grandpa thinks of Uncle Luo Wen.

"he?"

Zhou Zhiwei denied it again, "Don't underestimate your maternal grandfather just because he's only a stepfather. He and your uncle Luo Wen have a deep relationship, just like father and son."

“Back then, after your mother disappeared, your maternal grandfather not only did not suspect Luo Wen, but also immediately sent his strongest subordinate to protect Luo Wen.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xi couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly remarkable."

“Yes, it’s not easy to find out who betrayed your mother.” Zhou Zhi frowned slightly and pondered, “This happened more than 30 years ago, and it’s very difficult for us to find any substantial clues now.”

This is indeed a tricky matter. "I don't know the specifics of my mother's current situation, but I hope she still remembers what happened back then."

"hope so."

*

South of South America, on an island called Tierra del Fuego, lies a city known as the end of the world—

Ushuaia.

Facing the Beagle Channel and backed by the Andes Mountains, the icy blue ocean landscape collides sharply with the magnificent mountains.

Ushuaia is built at the foot of the mountain, and it is also the only way for tourists and scientific research teams to reach Antarctica.

Luo Wen and his group disguised themselves as an expeditionary research team and made a low-key appearance at the port by ship. Then, his men disguised themselves as locals and secretly infiltrated the city.

Wearing a black windbreaker and a leather hat, Luo Wen walked outside the walls of a museum converted from a prison, carefully observing the surrounding roads.

The infamous Long Life Island Research Institute was hidden in the basement of a residential building near the museum.

This residential building is the staff housing provided by the research institute for their researchers.

it's dark.

The whole town became quiet, and in the distance, the icy blue ocean shimmered like diamonds under the moonlight.

Luo Wen stood on the snow-capped mountain above the small town, overlooking the natural scenery below.

After finishing his cigarette, Luo Wen checked the time and gently pressed his earpiece: "Let's move out."

Once the order was given, all exits of the small town were blocked by his men.

At the same time, Luo Wen and a group of highly skilled mercenaries jumped off the snow-capped mountain in wingsuits.

Under the cover of night, they were like more than twenty agile bats, landing one after another on the rooftop of the residential building, successfully avoiding all surveillance cameras.

"Karen, hack the surveillance!"

Karen, a hacker hiding in a nearby hotel, successfully hacked the building's surveillance system in just two minutes.

"Boss, it's done. You have 15 minutes to act."

"Okay." Luo Wen assembled the weapons while issuing orders into his headset: "Team A, move out."

Upon hearing this, three young men wearing gas masks entered the residential building and used potent sedatives to incapacitate all the employees, layer by layer.

Soon, the team leader of Group A informed Luo Wen: "Boss, it's ready."

Luo Wen led his subordinates into the elevator lobby. He took out a copied fingerprint film, put it on a fake finger, and lightly pressed the elevator access control button.

"Welcome, Mr. Wells."

Luo Wen's lips curled into a cold smile as he pressed the elevator button for the fourth basement level.

The elevator slowly descended...

Ding-dong-

The elevator doors opened, and the two bodyguards on duty outside instinctively looked at the elevator warily.

Before they could react, Luo Wen pulled the trigger of the silenced pistol, and the bullet flew into the bodyguard's chest.

The two fell to the ground in response.

Luo Wen fired another shot at each of them, and only after confirming their deaths did he look up and see the heavy, sturdy keypad door at the end of the hall.

Wells does not have permission to open this door.

He was merely an investor and was only entitled to visit the top three floors, while the basement level, where important experimental subjects were imprisoned, was not a place he could freely enter.

Luo Wencai nodded to the mercenary beside him, "Thank you for your trouble."

The mercenary, skilled in explosives, walked to the keypad door, took out his backpack, and retrieved an electronic bomb...

"three."

"two."

"one···"

With a deafening roar, a large, circular hole was blasted into the sturdy laboratory door.

"what!"

The researchers inside screamed in terror, and the entire underground research facility shook.

The shaking lasted for five or six seconds before it subsided.

The mercenaries tossed two poison-injected flares into the research institute, and the colorful, pungent fumes quickly spread throughout the entire floor. Researchers wearing masks instinctively pulled them tighter, only to find that the irritating fumes completely blinded them upon contact with their eyes.

This is actually a poisonous fumes that can cause instant blindness!

Chaos reigned inside the research institute. The bodyguard on duty had been blinded by poison, rendering his gun useless.

Just then, Luo Wen, wearing a gas mask, quickly led his subordinates inside and headed straight for the independent observation room where test subject No. 1 was being held.

The observation room contained three experimental chambers, each equipped with a combination lock. Luo Wen immediately recognized the trickiness of these combination locks.

These combination locks are equipped with alarm devices. If someone enters the wrong combination twice in a row, it will trigger the emergency alarm for the entire research institute.

Without saying a word, Luo Wen turned around and walked out of the research hall, finding the core backbone researcher of the institute, a researcher named Kasone.

"password!"

Luo Wen pointed a pistol at Kassorn's forehead.

Kasone was temporarily blind and could not see anything. His life was in Luo Wen's hands. Although Kasone was afraid, he remained relatively calm.

He recited a string of numbers intermittently.

Luo Wen entered the numbers, but just as he was about to press the confirm button, he suddenly fired a shot that struck Kassorn in the thigh bone.

"what!"

Kassorn screamed repeatedly.

Luo Wen holstered his pistol, took the medicine handed to him by his subordinate, and pressed it against Kasone's arm. "Kasone, have you heard of the 'Seda' virus?"

Upon hearing those two words, a vein throbbed on Kassorn's forehead.

"It seems you know."

Luo Wen kindly told Kasone, "This is a newly released, vicious virus from the underworld. People infected with this virus won't die quickly; their life force will slowly drain away until their limbs lose elasticity and detach from their torso..."

"It's like the sky burial ceremony in the Seda region..."

Kassorn was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

He was not afraid of death, but he was living a life worse than death.

"...The password is 801..."

The password I'm talking about this time is completely different from the previous passwords.

Luo Wen pressed all the number keys, and before clicking confirm, he warned Kasone: "You must be prepared for the consequences of deceiving me. This is the first time. If I fail to open the experimental chamber, I will infect you and all the researchers on the floor with the Seda virus."

“…I’m not lying to you,” Kasorn said dryly.

Luo Wen pressed the confirmation button.

Click——

correct.
