CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: MR. EMPEROR’S HEART IS AS ELUSIVE AS A NEEDLE IN THE SEA

Nalan Group.

Top-floor office.

Nalan Ye Jue, sitting in a wheelchair, looked across with calm eyes.

The entire wall was dominated by a giant ultra-clear screen, displaying the same foreign webpage as that on the Imperial University associate professor’s office computer.

The content was even clearer and more comprehensive.

It included many parts that were undecoded on ordinary webpages.

One of the senior executives of the group was eagerly reporting: "BMP-16 is a significant medical discovery. Once applied in research and turned into a drug, it can solve all human skeletal diseases! Our group must seize this opportunity to secure the patent rights for development. By then, Young Master, you might even..."

He intended to say, your lame leg might stand up.

But, glancing at Nalan Ye Jue, he shivered, intimidated by the aura, and dared not say the word "lame" out loud.

"You could... you could lead our Nalan Group to crush the pharmaceutical field from the technology domain... There’s just one crucial step missing, which is to find the first author of this academic paper, QUEEN! QUEEN is a woman, the Red Society has her information. As soon as you give the order, we will investigate her background..."

The Nalan Group’s intelligence network is mighty.

Information that’s unavailable on the black market, the Nalan Group can still find it.

However, the intelligence department was Nalan Ye Jue’s direct command; without his order, no one could interfere.

This senior executive thought that by reporting this big news in the academic world to the Young Master first-hand today, he would surely gain merit and have the chance to interact with those mysterious people from the intelligence department, taking a step closer to Mr. Emperor’s inner circle...

Who knew.

The next moment.

Nalan Ye Jue’s voice rang out, deep and resonant: "I’m not interested in the pharmaceutical field."

Then, with a cold finger, he pointed at the table: "Next.

The next group executive immediately gathered all their energy to report on their department’s agenda.

The senior executive was stunned, utterly dumbfounded: "..."

Did he flatter the wrong horse? Such significant academic news, and Mr. Emperor is not interested?!

But clearly, a few days ago, the Young Master ordered the latest model of intelligent robots to include medical foundational courses’ storage and explanation functions, and required them to accelerate the development of robots’ capability to heal head wounds and restore intelligence...

These are all medical functions!

The Young Master now says he’s not interested in the pharmaceutical field?

Even if he’s not interested, doesn’t Mr. Emperor himself want to heal his lame leg, as a man wouldn’t he want to stand up?

The senior executive was about to cry ─

The Young Master’s mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

The meeting of Nalan Group lasted the whole day.

When Bai Chi arrived, the meeting had just ended.

Nalan Ye Jue was talking with an elderly man with graying hair.

"Principal Zhou, isn’t there something missing from your evaluation report?" Nalan Ye Jue asked calmly yet authoritatively.

The old man opposite, with white hair and beard and a wrinkled forehead in a fierce "chuan" character, appeared full of dignity but smiled slightly when questioned by Nalan Ye Jue: "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Emperor. This time, our Royal Academy evaluated the robots commissioned by your group, and there were no issues with others, only one crucial aspect was evaluated by a young child. Unfortunately, we couldn’t contact her these days... You urged for it, so I could only submit the incomplete report to you."

Nalan Ye Jue questioned: "A child?"

Principal Zhou smiled: "Although she’s a bit young, her opinions are extremely important."
