Chapter 263: Investigation Suspended

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Retlin’s order, the deputy director was stunned for a moment. He did not understand why the investigation had suddenly stopped when there had just been a turn for the better.

However, he did not dare to question Retlin’s orders. He could only make an excuse, “But what about Young Master Jeffrey?” The other party was very persistent in wanting to investigate the truth.

“If that brat asks, just say that it’s my opinion. If he’s not convinced, let him come to me.” Retlin gave the final word, and the investigation that had just begun to make progress was suspended.

After Jeffrey received the news, he immediately called him and asked him why he didn’t continue investigating since he found something fishy.

“Since the other party can have such high-end information technology, it means that they are not ordinary people. Under such circumstances, we should know ourselves and our enemies to ensure that we will not be controlled by others. ”

Retlin was very fond of his weak grandson, so he patiently explained to him, “Just like you said, if the other party is really such a powerful person, when they found out where this laboratory was, they didn’t choose to expose it but burned it down. That explains a lot.”

The purpose of the other party destroying this laboratory was obviously to stop the experiment from continuing. Therefore, after hearing this news, Retlin said that the other party was a kind person.

With the other party’s ability, they must have known who was using this laboratory and who was operating the research. Jeffrey had been exposed from the very beginning.

“If the other party wanted to manipulate you, why did they burn this obvious evidence? Moreover, it was already too late to worry about being taken advantage of.”

Jeffrey had to admit that his grandfather’s analysis made sense, but he still had some doubts in his heart. “What if the other party just wants to leave something behind and wait to use it one day to deal a heavy blow to the Shwell family?”

“I’m very pleased that you’re able to consider the interests of the family,” Retlin chuckled.

From this point of view, at the very least, Jeffrey’s roots weren’t too crooked.

“If one day, the other party really takes out evidence related to this research and wants to use it as leverage against the Shwell family, you have to believe that with the Shwell family’s ability, they can protect you.”

Although this experiment was indeed a little sensational, it was only in the initial stage and had not yet reached the stage of human experimentation, so the matter was not too serious.

Perhaps the exposure of this matter might affect the reputation of the Shwell family, but they could minimize the impact.

If the day really came and the Shwell family couldn’t settle this matter, it would prove that the Shwell family had declined to the point where they could be easily manipulated by others.

If they were reduced to such a state, any small matter could become a sharp knife to stab them. Therefore, one more thing was not too much, and one less thing was not too little.

“So you don’t have to worry too much. I know how to deal with this matter,”

Jeffrey wasn’t so easily fooled. He bit his lip and said with difficulty, “Isn’t the current situation better than before?”

The smile on Retlin’s face gradually faded when he heard this. He sighed silently and asked, “You know?”

“It’s not hard to know, is it?” Although he had left his family and was holed up in this southern city, it did not mean that he was a profligate son who knew nothing.

To outsiders, the fall of the Pritz family was nothing more than an interesting story, and they could just watch the show. But as one of the four great families, Jeffrey knew very well how serious this matter was. At the same time, it also sounded the alarm above their heads.

If they weren’t careful, their family could end up like the Pritz family. This was something that Jeffrey didn’t want to see.

Therefore, ever since he found out about the fall of the Pritz family, the sense of urgency in his heart had increased. It urged him to speed up the pace of his experiments, hoping that he could produce the results as soon as possible and add some important weight to the Shwell family.

However, it was obvious that his grandfather did not agree with his idea. In fact, he was very resistant.

Therefore, even if he succeeded in developing the lethal neurotoxin, the Shwell family would probably seal it or destroy it, not giving it a chance to see the light of day again..
