Chapter 787 We may have really done something wrong

"Shirakawa-kun, you are in a very bad state today."

In the research institute, Elena Miyano was typing away on the keyboard. She turned her head and glanced at Shirakawa Kiyo, who was sitting next to her in a daze.

"Did something happen?"

"Something did happen."

"Is it related to that old Mr. Hatoyama?"

Elena Miyano hit the point right away, and Bai Heqing turned to look at her.

"It's because this matter has been reported in the newspapers these days. I'm not deliberately asking about you, Shirakawa-kun~"

"Although you have been staying in the research institute, you can still know what is happening outside in time. You are really well-informed." Bai Heqing said.

Saying this, he suddenly remembered that when he first invited the Miyano couple, Elena Miyano seemed to have figured out his false identity as "Mr. Karasuma" through some channels at that time...

"Elena, just to satisfy my curiosity, I want to know, how did you know that my identity was fake in the first place?" Bai Heqing asked.

He has never asked about this matter since then, but when he suddenly mentioned it today, he was a little curious.

"Oh, that..."

After twisting her sore neck, Elena Miyano temporarily put down her work and leaned on her seat, looking a little sad.

"She's my sister..."

"elder sister?"

This was the first time he heard that Elena Miyano actually had a sister.

"Well, my sister is an agent of MI6. I asked her to help me investigate some information within the Karasuma Group, as well as Shirakawa-kun's false identity at the time..."

"I see."

[MI6...]

For Bai Heqing, this is a somewhat familiar and special term. A friend he once knew was also in this organization. A few years ago, that person came to Japan specifically because of his fake death.

At this point, after satisfying his curiosity, Bai Heqing did not ask any more questions.

On the other hand, Elena Miyano, as if she had opened up a conversation, continued:

"But, since Houji and I joined the Karasuma Group, my sister and I have never been in contact..."

"why?"

"Because my sister has always been strongly opposed to our relationship with the Karasuma Group. She has argued with me several times because of this. She said that the Karasuma Group is a very dangerous company. If I have anything to do with it again, she will completely break up with it. I broke off the sisterhood and all that...

Well, it seems now that my sister was right in what she said back then..."

Logically speaking, Shirakawa Kiyoshi is Karasuma Renye's son-in-law, and it would be inappropriate to speak ill of the Karasuma Group in front of him, but obviously Miyano Elena has no such concerns.

Because Shirakawa Kiyoshi and she have the same view on the Karasuma Group.

"Then, you really stopped contacting me?" Bai Heqing asked.

He doesn't quite understand. Can biological sisters be completely cut off from each other?

"It's true that it doesn't exist anymore, but I just did it on purpose..."

Sighing, Elena Miyano explained: "It was only after I joined the Karasuma Group that I realized how naive Atsushi and I were back then. This is really a place where neither justice nor law can prevail. Shirakawa-kun, do you know that several researchers at the institute who were close to me were fired a few days ago?

Before they left, they gave me their private contact information, and we made an appointment to get together when we were free... But when I called them in the past two days, I discovered that all these numbers had changed. It became an empty number, not just one person, but all of them! "

Raising her hand to press her eyebrows, Elena Miyano sighed again. She was silent for a while to calm down her somewhat excited emotions.

"I applied to visit them before, but was rejected. They said I couldn't contact the researchers who had left... Obviously I could go to other places, but not just to visit them... Really, this is very obvious. Already..."

Those people were probably all disposed of after they left the Karasuma Group.

Elena Miyano did not say this sentence, but Bai Heqing already understood.

After all, the research contents of Karasuma Renya have always been highly confidential. So, who can best keep the secret?

Of course it's a dead person...

It can be seen that this incident has a deep impact on Elena Miyano.

The longer she stayed in the Karasuma Group, the more she felt the depth of darkness in this place, and the more she regretted her naivety.

Miss Sharon's original words were not alarmist. With the character of President Karasuma, by the time the research is completely completed, I am afraid that it will be the time when the couple will die...

The only thing she feels lucky about is that she has met two friends, Bai Heqing and Sharon, who are willing to help her...

"Is the research on immortality really that important?" Bai Heqing asked after a long silence.

"Important, because this is the lifelong dream of me and Hiroshi."

Elena Miyano nodded without hesitation. Even now, her idea has not changed.

From this point of view, the outside world's nickname for this couple as "mad scientists" is probably correct.

"Besides the Karasuma Group, is there really no other choice?" Shirakawa Kiyoshi asked again. He had also persuaded Elena Miyano to find other companies willing to sponsor.

"If we want to say that there is a company that can maintain capital investment for a long time, I am afraid that the only one is the Karasuma Group..."

Speaking of this, Elena Miyano also had a look of helplessness on her face.

It's not that they haven't encountered other interested companies or consortiums, but what's frustrating is that the only one that can really persist is the Karasuma Group.

"Actually, Housi once had a capitalist relative in the United States."

Suddenly, Elena Miyano mentioned this matter.

"That relative's name is Amanda Hughes, and he is a very famous capitalist in the United States. If Mr. Shirakawa wants to know more about it, you should be able to find some information on the Internet."

【Amanda Hughes...】

Bai Heqing thought about it for a while, but he had no impression. It should be someone who had nothing to do with him.

"Houssi has approached this Ms. Amanda before, hoping to get her sponsorship. Of course, the ending is no surprise. Housi was rejected, and he was also scolded by this Ms. Amanda, saying that scientists should be down-to-earth and don't Always thinking about those whimsical things...

The term "mad scientist" was first spoken by Ms. Amanda...

Even relatives are like this, let alone other people..."
