The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1050: Chapter 994: Interrogation (Part 2)

"Can they put some meat in the congee next time? Is it that hard? I don’t like plain porridge."

"You’re a patient now; you need to eat lighter things."

"But I lost a lot of blood. I need to replenish my nutrition."

"Alright, I’ll have them make meat congee for you tomorrow."

Curly pushed the bowl away, disdainfully saying, "Then I won’t eat, I’ll wait for the meat congee tomorrow."

"Okay." George indulged her these days, even agreeing to take nude~photos for her, hoping she would be happy and get better soon.

George felt really unlucky—his future wife didn’t like him, and now she was sick.

He’s someone who sticks to his decisions; once he’s determined, he doesn’t change. If Curly really dies, he’s doomed to be a bachelor.

"I wonder how Little Monster is doing..." Curly still missed her brother.

If she wasn’t sick, after dinner, their family would be strolling in the garden, Mama holding her hand, Papa carrying Little Monster.

"I heard from my father-in-law that Grandma is taking care of Sheehan."

"Oh."

Curly was picking at her fingernails, looking forlorn. George didn’t know how to comfort her and stayed silent.

...

On the fourth day, cases of death had already occurred. The deceased was a father of an elderly researcher from the Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory’s Research and Development Department.

The symptoms of this virus have also emerged. It’s similar to the Coronavirus that ravaged Agaia and caused over 700 deaths due to SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), although it isn’t as contagious, its mortality rate is higher. Currently, there is no treatment method nor vaccine available for prevention.

This virus has an incubation period of 2-14 days from infection to symptom onset. Patients exhibit fever, cough, difficulty breathing, blood vomiting, and severe cases can lead to internal organ bleeding and death.

Luckily, the virus hasn’t spread extensively.

Police Station, interrogation room.

"Sienna Johnson, these are the import/export goods lists we obtained from customs. This list shows that your Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory imported 60 monkeys from South Goldland. However, we didn’t see these monkeys when we raided Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory.

I want to know what you did with these monkeys?"

Sienna had absolutely no knowledge of these affairs.

"Are you using these monkeys for illegal experiments?"

"..."

"Sienna Johnson, please cooperate with our work."

Sienna responded, "Would you believe it if I said I don’t know?"

"You’re the legal representative and top decision-maker of Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory. Do you think anyone would believe such a statement?"

"My daughter was also infected. I still don’t know how she got infected. What benefit do I get from developing this virus?"

"You sell drugs, maybe you want to make a fortune out of this."

Sienna shook her head, "I’m not that heartless. Besides, you don’t understand this trade. Research costs are too high, not to mention, Orienta regulates drug prices, even if a miracle drug was developed, it couldn’t be sold at a sky-high price."

"..."

"I’m also a victim."

"So where is your Research and Development Department’s head, Reggie Dewey?"

Sienna confessed, "I had them take the virus samples to another laboratory to develop antibodies."

"Which laboratory did they go to?"

"I can’t tell you that."

"Are you openly challenging us, the police?"

Sienna remained calm and spoke clearly, "Our goals are the same. My daughter is still in the quarantine room. I want the virus antibody to be developed sooner than anyone else."

"Then you should call Reggie Dewey out and destroy the virus samples. This virus is very dangerous; if it spreads, it will be a disaster."

"Compared to those spoiled public servants, I trust my employees more; I trust their research capabilities.

My daughter is only five; she’s still in quarantine room waiting for me to save her, so I can’t risk putting my people and research power in your hands!"

At this point, Sienna refrained from speaking further.

They didn’t dare to use extreme measures, as Sienna was the top taxpayer in Sileria City. If Sienna stopped paying taxes, Sileria City’s tax revenue would significantly shrink.

The higher-ups specified that during Sienna’s interrogation, they couldn’t be "too excessive," and what constitutes "too excessive," they would have to figure out themselves.

The police felt quite troubled.

...

Seargan Town,

Reggie Dewey also called Kenneth Brown’s sister, Carole Brown, to help with the research. After all, the more people, the more power.

The siblings became strangers due to Kenneth’s well-known incident, hardly speaking even when they met.

Kenneth looked at his sister, who had lost a lot of weight, feeling a mix of emotions.

One wrong step led to more mistakes; he lost Sienna Johnson and his sister.

If life had regret pills, how great it would be.

"Carole, Mom asks if you’re coming home for dinner tonight?" Kenneth asked cautiously.

Carole replied, "No, I’ll talk about it after the virus antibodies are developed."

Carole was in a fully enclosed laboratory, the siblings were separated by glass, but Kenneth felt there was a chasm between them.

"I understand, I’ll go back and tell them."

Carole was wearing protective clothing, gloves, protective goggles over her eyes, carefully observing the growth of viruses under a microscope, having no intention of catching up with Kenneth.

It was a critical moment, Kenneth dared not disturb her.

He turned around to leave and encountered a beautiful woman on the national road. The woman was conversing with Sabrina Conner in Amwan Language.

"Melly, why are you here? Does Sixth Master know?" Sabrina asked.

"Sixth Master doesn’t have time to manage me now."

"Then what are you here for?"

"I’m here to see my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? Who?"

"Reggie Dewey!"

Sabrina: ...
