I Have Infinite Skill Points

"His name is Xu Yingfei, one of our top human biomedical scientists. He was obsessed with human experiments and had been sanctioned by the law multiple times. Later, he insanely experimented on himself and his family; his wife and daughter both died on his experimental table.

But in the end, he vanished from the face of the Earth. Alive, he was seen no more; dead, his body was never found. If it weren't for the video you brought back, his whereabouts would still be an unsolved mystery.

Humans truly are complex animals, each with independent thoughts, values, and principles of action. That's why there are so many scoundrels, degenerates, and beasts among humankind.

Such people have existed throughout history.

Song Zifeng died in an experimental accident, but in the end, we did not find his body either. It may have been disintegrated, or he might still be alive. But one thing can be confirmed.

Suppose the Demon Clan orchestrated that accident, suppose they were after Song Zifeng, suppose the Demonic Transformation Potion was created by Song Zifeng.

One thing can be certain, Song Zifeng would not be replaced by the Demon Clan. Because the value of Song Zifeng lies in his creative worth. If these suppositions hold true, even if he betrayed the whole world, he would still hold some special regard for Song Jia."

"Director Wang, if your assumptions stand, and he has already abandoned his stance as a human being, would he still care about Jiajia?"

"How can we know it won't work unless we try? But your reaction has been rather disappointing. You didn't throw a fit or break with the Tianjian Bureau, casting a bit of a shadow over the plan.

You are still one of the Tianjian Bureau's own, and your identity will make the other side hesitant to act rashly... especially since you are the one who has inflicted great losses on the Demon Clan."

"How about... we have an argument now?"

"Would that make any sense?" Wang Qianfeng said with a cold laugh. "Although you didn't follow my script, I am quite satisfied with your performance. I underestimated you.

When faced with an emergency, you did not lose your judgment. After learning that it was the Tianjian Bureau that captured your dearest, you didn't act rashly; instead, you quickly calmed down and immediately derived the conclusion closest to the truth.

You... indeed exceed many others in excellence.

Especially when the evidence fabricated by the Demon Clan against Ms. Wang Qi was overwhelming, enough for us to really arrest her, yet you managed to ascertain almost instantly that it was a frame-up by the Demon Clan."

"She's my aunt, how could I not trust her?"

"Emotional trust is different from rational trust. The reasons for your trust are solid, and your arguments are meticulous. It's not just because she's your aunt.

Alright, you should head back now. Comfort Song Jia; you can tell her Ms. Wang Qi is safe and won't be in any danger. However, for now, I cannot allow them to contact each other."

"Where is my aunt now?"

"At the Tianjian Bureau! Someone is guarding her around the clock. It's just that her mood is a bit down right now."

"That assumption might not hold true."

"But she firmly believes that only she and Song Zifeng knew the gene formula, and besides her, only Song Zifeng could have created the Demonic Transformation Potion. If Wang Qi wasn't so adamant in her belief, I wouldn't have crafted a plan reliant on assumptions.

I trust her conviction. If that person truly is Song Zifeng, then my bait might just catch the fish, right?"

After parting with Wang Qianfeng, Wang Lan returned to his aunt's villa. He walked into the living room to find Jiajia asleep on Jiang Xinyu's legs. Jiang Xinyu was holding up a finger, but Jiajia then lifted her head.

"Brother…"

"Hmm!" Wang Lan approached the sofa, and Jiajia immediately jumped into Wang Lan's arms, looking up at him with a pitiful expression.

"Jiajia, Auntie is fine; the people who took her away are friends of your brother. Some bad people want to set up Auntie, so your brother's friends took her away to protect her. Don't worry, Auntie will be okay very soon."

"Really?" Jiajia lifted her innocent eyes to look at Wang Lan.

"Really! For the next few days, you'll stay with Brother. Do you want to stay at Brother's place, or should Brother stay here?"

"Brother should stay here... That way, if Mom comes back one day, I can see her right away..."

"Okay! As you wish."

After escorting Jiang Xinyu to the door, Jiang Xinyu looked worriedly at Wang Lan. "Do you want my family to intervene, help you out a bit?"

"No need; didn't I just say? My aunt is being protected."

"You think I'd believe what you told a child?" Jiang Xinyu obviously didn't buy the story Wang Lan told Jiajia.

"What I said is true." Wang Lan revealed a knowing smile.

"Huh?" Knowing Wang Lan as she did, Jiang Xinyu knew that if he was speaking so earnestly at this time, then it must be true. Wang Lan never repeated a joke.

"You just said… the people who took away Auntie Wang Qi were your friends?"

"Ah! They are my colleagues." Wang Lan gestured for Jiang Xinyu to come closer and whispered, "I am a special agent of the Tianjian Bureau. Don't tell anyone; I prefer to keep a low profile."

At the moment Wang Lan spoke these words, Jiang Xinyu's eyes widened in shock.

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true."

"How is that possible… you… when did you?" Jiang Xinyu certainly knew about the existence of the Tianjian Bureau. Not only did she know, but she also understood its nature.

Even when dreaming about the future, she had considered it. Her first choice was to join the military, and perhaps later she might join the Tianjian Bureau. But these were plans for after she completed her education and fully stepped into life.

Jiang Xinyu couldn't believe it; the thing that was still so far away from her, Wang Lan had already become.

It's like sitting together making wishes, one says, "I want to become an entrepreneur in the future, to start a company and make lots of money."

The other says, "I already am."

It was that unexpected, that surprising a revelation, that left Jiang Xinyu stunned for a long time, unable to react.

"It was probably after the first time I came back from the trial grounds, so you don't have to worry too much about me. Of course, don't tell anyone else. Pretend you know nothing."

"Okay!"

After seeing Jiang Xinyu off, Wang Lan went back inside to accompany Jiajia.

Right after watching the movie with Jiang Xinyu, he received a call from Song Jia. He hadn't felt anything due to the prior tension, but now, a strong sense of hunger struck.

"Jiajia, are you hungry?"

"Hungry!" Perhaps knowing that her mother wasn't arrested by the police for doing something wrong, Jiajia's mood improved significantly. Only children of her age could be so easily deceived; a few years older, and Wang Lan wouldn't be able to fool her so easily.

He went to the kitchen and found some ingredients in the fridge. Only during the New Year would his aunt's fridge have ingredients. Wang Lan was not like his aunt and mother, who just couldn't bond with the kitchen; he could cook, and he was pretty good at it.

The only reason he always ordered takeout was simple: laziness.

After preparing some food and cleaning up, it had already grown dark outside.

It was too early to sleep, and though Song Jia's mood had improved a little, she was still very low. Wang Lan simply sat with her on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"Our clinical trials have confirmed that Life Number One can effectively inhibit cancer cells. These three people standing next to me are the results of Life Number One's clinical trials.

A year ago, their cancer cells had spread throughout their bodies, and they had even lost the ability to eat. After taking Life Number One, their cancer cells were effectively suppressed, and after two months, their cancer cells began to shrink.

Six months later, their physical condition improved significantly, and now, though they still have cancer cells in their bodies, they can live like normal people.

According to clinical analysis, they only need to continue taking it for another three years, and the cancer cells will be completely eliminated. Life Number One is a milestone in the history of human medicine…"

The TV news from Suzhou City was broadcasting the evening news. Mankind had conquered cancer, which was an epoch-making victory for humanity, much like the announcement of the complete conquest of the smallpox virus had once thrilled the world.

Neither Wang Lan nor Song Jia was interested in the news, but when they saw this report, Wang Lan's hand, moving to change the channel, paused.

Life Number One… The name Senma Technology flashed through his mind.

Ma Bo was his aunt's and Song Zifeng's teacher, and Song Zifeng was still studying under Ma Bo when the incident happened. Although he didn't know why his aunt was so certain Ma Bo didn't know about the genetic formula left by Song Zifeng, to Wang Lan, he completely could have had access to it.

Moreover, just yesterday on New Year's Eve, Ma Bo was still planning to use the entire Senma Pharmaceutical for a deal with his aunt, but today he publicly released Life Number One? And it just so happened that his aunt was taken away by the Tianjian Bureau today.

From every angle, this all seemed like a setup.

His aunt once said, her gene potion, once released, could fundamentally alter the human body. It could quickly cure diseases inherent to the body. It could treat cancer, but it was not limited to just cancer.

If his aunt's results were made public, it would be a perfect strike against Life Number One. The two were not on the same level at all; Life Number One would stand no chance.

So the contradiction arose: Ma Bo was willing to pay such a high price yesterday, obviously knowing about his aunt's research results. Yet why release it publicly now? Was it because he knew his aunt had been taken away, or was there another reason?

Could the Demon Clan have framed his aunt for purposes other than diverting the Tianjian Bureau's investigation?

His brain worked swiftly, countless possibilities colliding in Wang Lan's head in an instant.

At that moment, the news switched to footage of Ma Bo and a cool female bodyguard at his side.

The camera gave the female bodyguard a fleeting profile shot. But in that moment, a strong sense of familiarity flooded over him.

He might have seen this female bodyguard before.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a strong sense of familiarity.

But Wang Lan was absolutely certain he had not seen her before yesterday. Otherwise, with Wang Lan's memory, he would definitely remember someone he had met.

The thoughts in his mind continued to collide, hypothesizing that if Ma Bo was the third person to know Song Zifeng's gene formula, then everything about his aunt being framed fell into place.

But then, why hadn't his aunt ever suspected Ma Bo, someone so closely involved?

Was it because Ma Bo was willing to pay such a high price for Song Zifeng's gene formula? But paying such a price didn't necessarily mean he wanted the formula; what if it was to delay the release of the gene potion, or simply because he saw the potential profits from it in the future?
