Chapter 780: Keeping Information Ambiguous
The attending physician’s body suddenly froze under the intense gaze of Jiang Xuecheng!
This young man who was more than ten years younger than him had a gaze that seemed to have substance, as if it wanted to pierce through his soul!
The attending physician gritted his teeth and recalled the threat Jiang Xuecheng had previously made. With a plop, he fell to his knees.
“Your Highness, as for the rest, I really don’t know.”
The attending physician thought for a moment and suddenly added on about the specific situation of the scorpion.
“Your Highness, although this scorpion is highly venomous, it is absolutely not fatal to people with Dragon’s Blood. Therefore, it cannot be used to harm you.”
“Of course, I know that you are concerned about Miss Su’s safety, but I can guarantee that what happened today was definitely not planned by the High Priest to harm Miss Su!”
As if afraid that Jiang Xuecheng would not believe him, the attending physician spoke quickly and his face was flushed red.
“Your Highness, you should know that it is extremely difficult to cultivate the golden giant scorpion. Even if we spend a lot of money, we have only managed to cultivate two golden giant scorpions so far. If it’s to harm Miss Su, why not choose a simple and convenient method?!”
Now, one golden giant scorpion had died, and there was only one golden giant scorpion left!
Even the attending physician could imagine the colleagues in charge of the research and development of the golden giant scorpion. They would probably be heartbroken to death.
How many precious materials did they use to cultivate these two precious ‘experimental specimens.’
Jiang Xuecheng looked at the attending physician coldly. When the attending physician tried to explain himself, he did not say a single word from the beginning to the end.
His silence was enough to make the attending physician shudder in fear.
“Your Highness…”
The more silent Jiang Xuecheng became, the more fl.u.s.tered the attending physician felt. His lips quivered, and just as he was about to defend himself again, he suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng interrupt him.
“Since you put it that way, what does rearing this venomous scorpion have to do with prolonging a person’s life?”
When the attending physician heard this, he clenched his fists even tighter under his sleeves.
He glanced at Jiang Xuecheng embarra.s.sedly, and his voice sounded a little weak.
“Actually, this kind of golden giant scorpion has always been fed food mixed with Dragon’s Blood. Next, we’ll have to see its reaction. However, the current experiment isn’t progressing smoothly, and there aren’t any big results…”
The attending physician didn’t lie. He only vaguely concealed a lot of crucial information.
For example, this venomous scorpion would eventually be used to conduct experiments on living people.
This was because although there weren’t thousands of men, women, and children who lost their lives in this experiment, there were at least hundreds of them who died.
However, among the people who were used for the experiment, other than death row criminals, they were slaves bought from outside. Even if they died, no one would care…
As for the remaining survivors, the only final product that was satisfactory was not considered a “person” in the true sense of the word. Yet, that test subject had run away!
Now that such a matter had suddenly occurred, who knew how long the emperor’s hand would stretch out.
The High Priest was not in the G.o.d’s Palace right now. If she did not return to preside over the situation, it would not be easy for the emperor to end things if he did not make a fuss.
Jiang Xuecheng stared at the chief physician, who had an anxious look on his face. He knew that this person was definitely hiding a lot of information from him.
However, from the looks of it, he might not be able to get much useful information from the chief physician.
“You may get up.”
Jiang Xuecheng casually stretched out his hand and helped the chief physician up.
When the chief physician saw Jiang Xuecheng’s action, he couldn’t help but secretly sigh in relief. He smiled gratefully at Jiang Xuecheng and finally stood up.
However, before the attending physician could calm down, he suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng say something.
“Give me the name list of the people you know who are partic.i.p.ating in this experiment. If there is any false report, I can’t guarantee what I am going to do.”
The low, cello-like male voice brushed past his ears. It was originally very pleasant to hear, but the attending physician only felt that he heard the devil demanding his life.
The attending physician’s legs gave way, and his face turned deathly pale. He almost fell back to his knees.
However, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him back. His gaze was indifferent, and his voice was unquestionably majestic.
“You’ve already mentioned the High Priest, and it’s such a project. It’s impossible for me not to be interested.”
“Now that the High Priest isn’t in the G.o.d’s Palace, she might not be able to control everything. However, it’s only a matter of time before I find out. Tell me the names of the people. If anything happens in the future, I’ll be the first to protect you.”
The attending physician struggled for a long time in his heart. In the end, he felt as if his entire body had gone limp. He weakly held onto the chair beside him and began to stammer out the names of a few people.
Jiang Xuecheng had a plan in his heart. He had a strong memory and had the ability to never forget the names of these people. After silently memorizing their names, his pair of deep phoenix eyes flashed with a faint light.
Heh, he would find out about these people one by one sooner or later…
No one would want to be controlled by others for their entire life. He had had enough of that high priest, that high and mighty woman!
After Jiang Xuecheng had made up his mind, he cast a glance at the sweating attending physician
“Let’s go. We can go back.”
The attending physician was stunned. Before he could react and realize that the interrogation had ended, he saw that Jiang Xuecheng had already turned around and left.
Jiang Xuecheng walked to the door. He pressed a b.u.t.ton and the red bronze door opened in the blink of an eye. He strode out of the room.
…
In Su Wan’s room, a few people were staring at one another.
The accompanying medical staff naturally did not dare to say anything. Only Director Fan walked toward Su Wan and slowly asked about the scorpion’s appearance.
Just as the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside the door.
Su Wan and Director Fan looked at each other and immediately understood that Jiang Xuecheng had returned!
Director Fan quickly put down his conversation with Su Wan and quickly walked towards the door.
Su Wan could not help but look towards the door. Soon, two figures appeared at the door, one in front and one behind. The one walking in front was naturally Jiang Xuecheng.
Seeing the tall and tall figure, Director Fan bowed respectfully.
“Your Highness, have you gotten any results from your questions? Was this scorpion appearing in Miss Su’s room by accident, or was it a deliberate plot?”
After all, this matter did not only concern Su Wan’s safety. That scorpion had truly hurt the emperor, so it was inevitable that it would be difficult to deal with it.
It was better to let the higher-ups make a conclusion first so that Director Fan had some ideas to deal with it.
Jiang Xuecheng calmly swept a glance at Director Fan and directly left a sentence.
“The nature of this matter is vile. Clearly, someone is targeting Su Wan. I think the most likely person is Diya!”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was warm and mellow, but when these words came out, it made people tremble in fear!
Even Su Wan couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive when she heard it.
Didn’t he just say that it was the high priest? Why did he bring up Diya again…
