Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 531: Basement and the People in the Glass House

The chip was not in the safe in Hudson's bedroom, so the most likely possibility was that it had been sent to the laboratory.

The DuPont family's companies are spread all over Country M, and they occupy half of the technology sector. They have always cooperated with the country and have national-level scientific research teams. They have made significant achievements in biotechnology and artificial intelligence. They own dozens of scientific research institutions of all sizes, not including those they have invested in. There must be at least a hundred or eighty ordinary or core laboratories in total. It would be too time-consuming and laborious to check them.

Wen Li sat in front of the computer for two days.

She used the Internet to spy on the DuPont family's corporate secrets and all ongoing or planned scientific research projects.

But no trace of the chip was found.

Either the construction has not started yet, so there is no electronic data record yet, or it is being carried out in a secret laboratory that is completely isolated from the outside world.

Hudson is a very cautious person. He will not talk to people about many important things over the phone, but always have face-to-face talks.

Important things will not be stored on mobile phones or computers.

Wen Li monitored Hudson's phone for two days but didn't get any important information. She pulled the timeline back to before and after the auction and checked all the call records of Hudson, his housekeeper, and trusted secretary during that period.

It is still unknown where the chip is hidden.

Wen Li spent four or five days searching.

Lu Xixiao was not idle either. He found Langdon again.

But Hudson was already on guard against Langdon and his son, and Langdon knew less than Hudson's butler Bruce.

Langdon: "My brother Hudson's health has been declining over the past two years, and Simon has been gradually taking over the family business. Hudson has been going to the company less and less often, but recently he's been busy, not at the company, and I don't know what he's been busy with. He's very cautious, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows. Half of his itinerary has always been confidential. He won't let the same person know his entire itinerary, including Simon. He has eleven drivers."

Lu Xixiao: "Is that all?"

He was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

Langdon: "That's all I know."

Lu Xixiao: "Hudson knows every move you make. The benefits and rights you have access to in the family business are also allocated and controlled by Hudson. So I want to ask you, with this, what are you and your son going to use to compete with the Hudson father and son who are sitting on the top of Mount Tai? If you are like this, I want to help you, but I don't have the strength to do it."

After a brief silence, Langdon said, "I lost from the very beginning. With so much power in his hands, it's certainly difficult for me to turn things around, but I absolutely have the courage to make a desperate move. I used to say that I'd accumulate strength over time and bide my time. Before, I was building up my confidence, so I had to be cautious in everything I did. Now that Mr. Lu has joined me, I've almost built up my confidence. I won't let Mr. Lu down. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the DuPont family, I'll help you get whatever you want. From today on, I'll keep Mr. Lu informed of all of Hudson's itineraries."

Lu Xixiao didn't buy it: "There's no need to waste your talent on such a trivial matter as surveillance. Don't bother Mr. Langdon."

Seeing that Lu Xixiao was not satisfied with his sincerity, Langdon, who had always been wary of Lu Xixiao, could only show more sincerity: "I want to know what you want to get back from Hudson, so that I can know how to help."

Lu Xixiao: "A semi-finished chip."

Langdon: "Chips?"

Still a semi-finished product.

Langdon nodded slightly, understanding.

He pondered for a moment, then finally said, "I know he has several core laboratories. Their locations are very secret, and most of them are not in this city. They are not registered with the company. They are probably all his personal property. The chip might be among them."

Langdon told Lu Xixiao the locations of several laboratories.

Lu Xixiao took several addresses written by Langdon.

Finally I asked something useful.

Langdon: "I'm having a semi-business drinking party with trusted friends. I hope Mr. Lu can attend."

Langdon, this old fox, refuses to suffer any loss.

You take something out of his mouth one second, and he will immediately take something good from you and eat it back the next second.

Lu Xixiao agreed.

He went upstairs and gave the address to Wen Li.

After Wen Li checked one by one, he still found nothing.

Hudson definitely has more hidden laboratories.

Unknown to Langdon.

Wen Li picked up the cup next to the computer and wanted to drink some water, but found that the cup was empty.

She looked at the water dispenser in the corner, too lazy to move.

Just as she put the cup back on the table, Lu Xixiao came with food to replenish her energy.

"Take a break." Lu Xixiao put down his things, saw that her cup was empty, and then went to pour her some water.

The thirsty Wen Li followed his gaze and without waiting for him to come back, she took the initiative to reach out to take it. After quenching her thirst, she buried her head and quietly began to eat.

Wen Li was a little anxious.

If the chip is not retrieved quickly, the greater the value Hudson will obtain from the chip, and it is even possible that the chip will be replicated one-to-one.

Just thinking about it makes me feel bad.

Wen Li installed a monitoring device in Hudson's mobile phone and used it as a monitoring device. She then stayed in the room to monitor Hudson's every move. As long as Hudson carried his mobile phone with him, she could know where he went and what he said to others.

Two days later, Wen Li overheard Hudson ask Bruce, the butler, "He still won't say anything?"

Bruce: “Yes.”

A brief conversation, and then nothing more.

Two more days passed.

Hudson asked again: "He hasn't said it yet?"

Bruce: “Yes.”

This caught Wen Li's attention.

Hudson: "I'll go see him."

Wen Li heard the sound of a door opening and closing, as well as footsteps. The footsteps belonged to Bruce. Bruce did not follow Hudson out, but returned to the room.

Not good, Hudson didn't have his phone with him.

Through the surveillance of the manor, Wen Li discovered that Hudson did not leave the manor and he had never appeared in the surveillance.

Is she overthinking it?

The 'he' they are talking about may not be important.

What Wen Li didn't know was that not only was she important, she also knew her.

Hudson did not walk out of the room, but took the elevator to the basement on the first floor below his residence.

The basement is decorated like a laboratory and is very spacious.

Mainly light blue and grayish white.

Hudson uses his irises to open doors.

He went straight to a small, square, box-like white room. There was nothing in the room, the incandescent light was particularly glaring, and there was smooth one-way glass on all four sides. The people imprisoned inside were viewed by people outside like animals.

The guard bowed respectfully to Hudson.

Hudson stood outside the glass house, looking at the people inside.
