Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595: 324 Secret Laboratory

Even though Zhao Qiankun’s hatred for Bai Ye made his teeth itch, Bai Ye had, after all, taken a drink, and if Zhao Qiankun continued to press the issue, it would only draw more attention to the matter. So he had no choice but to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, managing a forced smile towards Bai Ye, and drank the wine in his cup.

Because he was the squad leader of the Qiankun Mercenary Group, and the Mercenary Group was the second largest power in Beishi Base, he had chosen to serve only fine wines for the sake of keeping up appearances. However, whether he was too angry or Bai Ye had upset him, the usually sweet wine tasted exceptionally bitter in his mouth. Zhao Qiankun struggled to gulp down a large mouthful of wine, and because he drank it so hurriedly, the bitter taste almost made him spit it out!

Yet, he couldn’t afford to make a fool of himself and had to reluctantly swallow it, which deeply annoyed Zhao Qiankun. This time he had intentionally brought up the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps to let everyone present know that Bai Ye was a force to be reckoned with! At the same time, it was a warning to Bai Yi, urging him to eliminate the threat that was Bai Ye!

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye’s retorts had spoiled his plan, not only failing to achieve his goal but also arousing suspicion among the others present. To avoid revealing more and eliciting further doubts, Zhao Qiankun didn’t pursue the matter further. After drinking with Bai Ye, he feigned magnanimity with a few forced laughs and then turned to leave with Han Lingxi.

However, even though Bai Ye didn’t continue the confrontation, it set everyone else’s minds racing. They all noticed that Zhao Qiankun’s expression was off—not quite a complete loss of composure, but obviously unnatural. Could it be... Zhao Qiankun was really monitoring them?

If it were someone else, people might not be so suspicious. But everyone at Beishi Base knew that Zhao Qiankun had a formidable research institute under him, populated with many talented researchers. Communicators, blood testing strips, and energy meters that appeared in Beishi Base were all achievements of this institute!

So, no one doubted that such a secretive research institute could produce tools for surveillance! However, if it were the Qu Family accused of this, perhaps less than half would believe it! When Zhao Qiankun first introduced these devices, he never imagined they would one day backfire on him!
