"Why didn't you mention such an important clue earlier?" Wang Lan, regaining his composure, asked urgently.
"I was confused at the time... after I fully woke up, I didn't dare tell just anyone, only you. But... my research project is extremely secret; even my secretary doesn't know about it..."
"But the fact that the mastermind dared to attempt an assassination on you proves that the project isn't as confidential as you think. They wouldn't take such a big risk for nothing—it must be related to your research," Wang Lan speculated.
"Um, Wang Qi? Have you made a breakthrough?" Wang Qianfeng also snapped out of it, his face filled with disbelief, and he asked, "Can you actually awaken Star Martial Warrior abilities in ordinary people?"
"Not yet," the auntie shook her head. "I've just completed the X gene cell with telomerase. After being shot, I didn't have time to think before I injected myself with one before losing consciousness."
