Think Before You Act!
However, since the boss had already spoken, she didn't ask any more questions and left with her assistant. Not long after, there was another knock on the office door, and Dr. Dora Scholes personally brought Eddie Block into the office.
The remaining cameramen and staff were taken to the lounge.
When Eddie Brock came in, he looked at Dr. Drake, who was sitting behind his desk, with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Drake, we are a television station, not a newspaper. Without a cameraman, our interviews simply cannot proceed!"
Chen Mo smiled slightly, said nothing, but raised his hand to gesture for Eddie Block to sit down.
Seeing this, Eddie Block had no choice but to walk to the chair in front of the desk and sit down. However, just as he sat down, he heard Chen Mo say with a smile.
"You didn't really intend to interview me properly, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Eddie Block abruptly raised his head and looked at Chen Mo with a surprised expression, or rather, in his eyes, Dr. Drake.
He didn't expect Chen Mo to know his plans, but he wasn't foolish enough to admit it directly.
"I think you've got it wrong. My boss personally instructed me to interview you properly. How could I dare to do anything reckless! He'd fire me!"
Chen Mo couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
"That's right. If things had gone according to your original plan, he would have fired you, and your girlfriend would have been fired for leaking client information."
Eddie Block was shocked to hear this and looked at Chen Mo with disbelief.
How could he have known!
He happened to see that document when he woke up thirsty in the middle of the night to get some water. Only he knew about this, and the idea of making trouble during the interview was just in his mind. No one else should know about it!
Just as he was in shock, he heard Chen Mo continue speaking.
"Because of your betrayal and arrogance, she will break up with you, find a new boyfriend, and move into her house to live with her."
Upon hearing this, Eddie Block felt a surge of anger and wanted to explode, but reason told him that Chen Mo was right!
He was well aware of the Life Foundation's power. If he did as he had planned, his girlfriend would definitely be implicated, and he would lose his job. His girlfriend, who had been used and implicated by him, would likely become disappointed in him and break up with him.
Chen Mo's words were true, and with the addition of his use of telekinesis for psychological suggestion, Eddie Block easily accepted his statement.
The thought of his girlfriend being with another man in the future caused Eddie Block a pang of pain in his heart. No!
Only then did Eddie Block realize the gravity of the situation, and he was filled with lingering fear at his impulsiveness—it was so close!
He almost paid the price for his arrogance and impulsiveness!
No! Drake seems to already know that his girlfriend inadvertently leaked their company's secrets!
Thinking of this, Eddie Block couldn't help but look at "Dr. Drake" across from him. He wanted to deny it, but under the other's all-knowing gaze, he couldn't speak at all. However, thinking of his girlfriend, he had to bite the bullet and say it.
"I don't understand what you're saying. I'm here to interview you about the space shuttle."
"Yeah?"
Chen Mo looked at Eddie Brock with a half-smile. Under Chen Mo's gaze, a fine layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on Eddie's forehead. He must have been out of his mind to want to deal with such a terrifying guy. But how did Eddie know all this?!
Looking at Eddie Brock, who seemed flustered because he had exposed a secret that no one else should know, Chen Mo smiled and said.
"That's for the best. Let's just say I was overthinking it."
Eddie Block breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Whether he really knew all this or not, at least for now, it seemed that he had no intention of pursuing the matter.
"Let's call off today's interview. Go back and tell your boss that I have other things to do and the interview is canceled. But Eddie, as a man, you need to consider the consequences before you do things. You can be brave, fearless, and resolute, but don't forget the responsibilities on your shoulders."
"In the future, don't be so reckless. Think things through and gather enough evidence to bring down the other party before you take action. Otherwise, you'll only end up hurting yourself."
After being lectured by Chen Mo, Eddie Brock left the Life Foundation with the filming crew, looking somewhat dejected. To this day, he still doesn't understand how Chen Mo knew he had been looking at his lawyer girlfriend's information and planned to confront him during the interview.
Although "Dr. Drake" said he wouldn't pursue the matter, he was still a little uneasy.
He returned to the newspaper office to report to his boss, who seemed unaware of the situation and dismissed him after a few words. His girlfriend was also acting normally, seemingly oblivious to his peeping at the documents. That night, they happily slept together again. Eddie Block finally felt relieved, thankful that the worst-case scenario he had feared hadn't happened.
However, thinking about what Chen Mo said to him later, he couldn't help but feel puzzled and didn't understand what he meant.
He wanted to deal with him, but not only did the man let him go, he also kindly reminded him what to do. Wasn't he afraid that he would deal with him again according to the method the man suggested?
Little did he know that Chen Mo was merely "disciplining" him from the perspective of a moviegoer, to prevent him from making foolish mistakes in the future, not only ruining himself but also handing over the leading role to someone else.
This can be seen as compensation for taking away the opportunity that should have belonged to him, the opportunity to become "Venom".
Just as Eddie Brock was lost in thought and unable to sleep while embracing his girlfriend who had fallen asleep after their passionate encounter, the Life Foundation headquarters was about to receive three Symbiote found on the crashed spaceship.
In the rainy night, two black SUVs escorted a huge armored vehicle from the front and back, speeding along the quiet mountain road toward the Life Foundation headquarters located halfway up the mountain.
Chen Mo did not personally go to greet them. With the Riot, these three Symbiote were no longer so important to him. However, it would be good to take them back for his underlings to use, as their power amplification and auxiliary effects were still very powerful.
The three Symbiote samples were sent directly to the laboratory. Under Chen Mo's orders, Dr. Dora Scholes did not begin the experiment but simply placed them properly, awaiting further instructions from Chen Mo.
