Chapter 70 The Cause of the Matter
Frank stared at Gary, and Gary stared at him back without fear. But Gary wasn't confident.
After a long pause, Frank said slowly, "Go on."
Gary, as if granted amnesty, quickly told Frank what had happened.
About a month and a half ago, the Science and Technology Department of H Country received a
mysterious phone call. After twists and turns, they learned that the phone call was from a high-end
research institute in the United States.
They later learned that the high-end research institute had detained a girl named Rowan Palmer, a
young girl of eighteen years old.
The detailed information showed that Rowan was a genius in physics, and had published a lot of
papers at home and abroad, 90 percent of which were related to photoelectric conversion.
In her paper, she proposed using novel materials to synthesize solar panels that could convert light into
energy at high power.
In theory, if the experiment was successful, the conversion power could be ten times as big as today's
most advanced solar panels. It meant that if there were enough products to meet the demand of the
entire H Country, the cost of electricity per kilowatt hour would drop from 70 cents now to about one
cent.
Such technology was enough to overturn the current energy pattern, especially for H Country, which
would boost the development of the country.
Key figures of the country had taken notice of Rowan early.
After the college entrance examination, Rowan started her own experiment, but she had been stuck in
some key techniques.
At that time, the high-end research institute invited Rowan to attend a forum of technical exchanges. In
order to make breakthrough in her experiments, Rowan accepted the invitation.
However, Rowan never returned.
The mysterious phone call said that Rowan's research had made progress. As long as the right
materials were available, her experiment could be put to use immediately.
When the Ministry of Science and Technology learned the truth, it took them great effort to get Rowan
back from the US.
Then the Cancer Organization showed up.
"At first we didn't know about Rowan. The first time the Cancer Organization took action, she just
missed her flight," Gary said with a wry smile.
It was a coincidence.
While waiting at the airport, Rowan felt her stomach was uncomfortable and she couldn't get on the
plane, but didn't know that she had escaped an assassination.
The second time, the killers ambushed the airport. Cecilia was on the same flight with Rowan.
When the investigation department was organizing the documents, they happened to discover the
coincidence in the horrible event of the airport.
"No."
Frank shook his head. "It makes sense that they couldn't kill Rowan as she missed the flight in the first
attack. But in the second time, before the plane landed, they would have killed her if they wanted."
"We also thought about this."
Gary nodded, then said, "Rowan has told us that the top research institute knew she had made
technological breakthrough, but they didn't know the details, so they probably wanted to get details
from her."
Gary gave a series of examples to prove what he said.
For example, according to the news from the United States, some members of the Cancer
Organization had been commissioned to complete some tasks. However, they didn't know the
whereabouts of these members, only knew that the mission they would be carrying out was related to
Rowan.
Another example was that the terrorists captured on the plane at that time, and two passengers who
were found disappeared during the inspection had been confirmed to be Americans, who should be the
members who were appointed to capture Rowan.
One more example. After the terrorist incident at the airport, namely two days ago, the police in Peking
cracked a case of weapons smuggling. According to the smugglers, a gang of seven people had
bought a large number of weapons and ammunition from them, and this gang had appeared at another
airport in Peking.
According to the emergency plan of Peking airport, Cecilia and Rowan were supposed to land at
another airport after their flight was involved in an emergency, but the situation was critical and they
landed at a safer airport.
If they had landed at a different airport where was less secured, it would not have been possible to stop
the heavily armed terrorists, and Rowan could have fallen into their power.
"Too many coincidences, don't you think?" Frank frowned.
He never believed in coincidences, especially in this case. The more coincidences there were, the
likelier that they were created deliberately.
"We can't afford to take it lightly," Gary smiled wryly. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
No matter whether these were artificial coincidences or not, as long as there was a little possibility, they
couldn't ignore them. Moreover, Peking University was the best school in H Country, and every student
would be the future of H Country. This matter would have a huge impact on society if the police couldn't
handle it well. Therefore, they had to make sure that no terrorist attack happened at Peking University.
"You can assume that you've found the real target by now and to defense, or to find out who's behind it.
What's the use of looking for me?” said Frank coldly.
When a problem propped up, they should make decisive moves to tackle the problems.
Putting all the hopes on one person was disrespectful to the victim.
Gary was silent, then smiled dryly, "Frank, do you think we have the ability to prevent the terrorism from
happening? Even we know their target is Rowan, we still have to expose her to danger."
Frank frowned. "Why?"
"We have a traitor."
Frank was silent.
Frank knew exactly what Gary meant. He had once been betrayed in the Dragon Lord Mercenary
Regiment. Man's mind was unpredictable. The damage a traitor would cause was beyond words.
But everyone knew that in each attack, the loss was too great to bear.
"We have a traitor, and Rowan's information is constantly sold out. But we haven't found any clues so
far that we can't find who the traitor is," Gary said bitterly. "In fact, the news about Rowan so far is not
known to anyone except Lieutenant General Lau, you and me."
What Gary meant was clear.
The Cancer Organization did not know that their purpose had been identified.
But once Gary and his people were involved, the traitor would know the Cancer's Organization's
purpose had been known. With the ability of the Cancer Organization, it would be very easy for them to
know that their purpose had been revealed.
By then, they would change their plans.
So, Gary didn't know what to do now.
"With your status, along with the fact that Izabella is going to school, you are our best choice," Gary
said again.
