"But...but the fifth clan leader, that Chen Shui, we don't even know where he is now..."
Tao Xin tried hard to recall the situation that day. After he and Tao Zilong were deposed, how could he still care about the life and death of a woman? As for where she went, it was not clear at all.
The five clan leaders took their hands off the other party's forehead, squinted his dim old eyes, and continued to ask:
"Tao Xin, think about it carefully, where would Chen Shui go if she were alive?"
Tao Xin frowned and thought for a while, showing an expression of sudden realization, and immediately answered:
"Could it be that Li Longtu fell in love with her and regarded her as a canary?"
The five patriarchs frowned:
"It's possible. If you think about it again, where else could she go?"
Tao Xin continued to think with his not-so-smart mind, and for a long time he showed that he understood everything, patted his forehead and said:
"She...will she go back to her hometown?"
The five patriarchs opened their eyes:
"Do you know where her hometown is?"
Tao Xin nodded and said ambiguously:
"I don't know, but I remember it was in a remote mountain village in the south."
The five clan leaders nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the topic:
"Tao Xin, do you want to stand up again?"
Tao Xin was stunned and answered subconsciously:
"I think about it, of course I do, even in my dreams!"
"Fifth clan leader, do you have any ideas?"
"As long as I can stand up, I can do whatever you want!"
The five clan leaders laughed and said without explaining:
"Just take good care of yourself."
"Okay, okay, leader of the five clans, I will listen to you. You are my reborn parents!"
The five clan leaders glanced at him, turned around, leaned on crutches, and left slowly.
At night, the heads of the five clans, who were relatively energetic, sat in a conference room.
There were also many people sitting next to him, but they were dressed differently.
Some people are wearing white coats, some are in suits and leather shoes, and there are even many foreign faces with obvious North Sea characteristics and red hair!
On the other side of the table, there was a doctor pointing at the information on the screen.
"Tao Xin's symptoms are not optimistic. It can be said that there is no possibility of recovery at all."
"However, one thing to note is that Tao Xin's physical fitness is better than Tao Zilong's and is more suitable for Beihai's technological transformation."
"What we also need to pay attention to is that the technology brought by Beihai this time does not seem to be very mature."
A red-haired man in a suit listened to the whisper of the translator beside him, his face showed dissatisfaction, and he babbled a few words to the translator.
The translator looked at the five clan leaders and spoke after receiving permission from his eyes:
"Mr. Igor said that compared to China, the North Sea technology he brought today is already at the top level in the world."
"I hope this doctor will not rely on his shallow judgment to mislead the patriarch."
The doctor looked a little strange, but when he saw that the five patriarchs did not say anything, he added:
"Of course I admit that Beihai's technology is the best in the world, but Tao Xin and Tao Zilong's status in the Tao family is not simple. I must tell the truth that Beihai's technology has certain risks."
After listening to what the translator said to him, Igor became a little excited and danced around in defense.
The translator spoke again:
"Mr. Igor believes that there are problems with your professionalism. At the same time, he accuses you of insulting his character and showing contempt for the North Sea Federation."
The doctor sneered:
"But this is China, even if I despise it, so what?"
After listening to the translator, Igor slammed his hands on the table and said word for word in extremely non-standard Mandarin with a tongue-twisting accent:
"Whole...trough...mud horse!"
"You...how can you curse?"
The doctor's face turned red with anger.
Other members of the Tao family couldn't sit still and stood up one after another, blaming Igor.
But the latter looked confident.
After all, he has the technology in his hands.
boom!
Finally, the leader of the five clans stood up and struck the ground hard with a cane in both hands.
Only then did everyone calm down.
The five clan leaders slowly turned their heads, looked at the doctor, and asked directly:
"You said Tao Xin's physical fitness is better than Tao Zilong's?"
"Does that mean that if Tao Xin accepts this technology, his chances of success will be higher?"
The doctor nodded honestly and said truthfully:
"Here's the theory."
"Data shows that Tao Xin has a 50% chance of success."
"And Tao Zilong, only 20%..."
The five patriarchs narrowed their eyes, slowly turned their heads, looked at Igor and his translator again, and asked:
"Tell me, how much do you want for two experimental subjects?"
The translator translated the words into the North Sea language and spoke it to Igor.
After hearing this, the latter smiled, showing his teeth that were stained yellowish brown by tobacco and alcohol. He stretched out two fingers and made several gestures towards the five clan leaders.
The five clan leaders frowned and asked:
"Twenty million?"
Unexpectedly, Igor shook his head and said in a bad accent:
"It's...two hundred million!"
Wow——
Everyone in the conference room was surprised.
Want two hundred million?
Even if the Tao family didn't need the money at all, they actually asked for 200 million to save them.
This is not cost effective.
Moreover, the experiment is risky. If neither person succeeds, the two hundred million will be wasted.
A junior stood up quickly to dissuade him:
"This matter of being the leader of the five clans is not easy. You'd better think about it carefully."
"Yes, no matter how rich our Tao family is, we can't go through such trouble."
"Both of them are useless, there is no need to waste any more time..."
Unexpectedly, the five clan leaders coughed twice:
"What's wrong with you?"
"The Tao family's face was pinned to the ground and trampled on by a young man. Didn't you react at all?"
"Haha, one generation is really inferior to the other."
"Two hundred million, is it money to my Tao family?"
Snapped!
The five patriarchs suddenly raised their hands and slapped the table, and said to the translator:
"Tell Igor that this is a done deal and have their technical staff come to Tao's house immediately."
The translator babbled to Igor, who nodded in reply.
Then the translator also spoke in shock:
"The five chiefs, Mr. Igor said that their people are in the capital now."
"Okay! Take it right away and start preparing for the experiment."
After the others received the order, no matter what dissatisfaction they had in their hearts, they all took action and went out to prepare various related things.
Tao Xin and Tao Zilong, who were in the other two rooms, were sleeping soundly, but the door was pushed open and a large group of big men walked in, pushed his bed and walked out.
Tao Xin was frightened and exclaimed:
"What are you going to do?
The five chiefs promised to cure me!"
Tao Zilong, on the other hand, was lying on the bed and sneered:
"Second uncle, you are so naive."
"Obviously, the fifth patriarch wants to drive us out of the Tao family. He will not raise two useless people."
