Long Bei had never expected to be singled out at this moment. He froze for nearly three seconds before managing to respond.
"Di... Director Tang."
"You're cooperating with the Giantwood Consortium. You can't possibly be fobbing them off with just this stuff, can you? What I mean is, which floor did the things they cleared out come from?"
Long Bei knew this was probably the real crux of Tang Li's visit today, the point he had come to seize upon. Unfortunately, Long Bei had only just entered the Core Layer himself and was not entirely certain. After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Possibly the Fifteenth Floor. There are several Operating Rooms there, the kind where Organ Transplant Surgery can be performed directly as long as Professional Physicians are brought in. Before Xu Piao died in mid-October, several surgeries were carried out there in succession. Then there's the Fifth Floor Underground. Security there was clearly strengthened before..."
"What is the Fifth Floor Underground for?"
Tang Li still had his arms around the shoulders of his two deputies, forcing them to receive the information alongside him.
Long Bei did not dare look at them. His gaze dropped to his toes. "The Fourth and Fifth Floors Underground are generally 'living reserves.' Really, they're prisons. People confirmed to be suitable matches are temporarily held there. If there's a surgery, they take the elevator straight to the Fifteenth Floor without stopping anywhere else. Of course, most are transferred away directly... Real big shots wouldn't place their hopes on the technology here."
"Are there still people down there now?"
"Uh, they should all have been cleared out."
"Is that so?" Tang Li neither confirmed nor denied it. "Then we'll go to the Fifteenth Floor first, then from there to the Fifth Floor Underground."
