The old doctor was stunned, then he reached out and took the phone, "Hello, hello."

"Dr. Coles?"

A somewhat hoarse middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Coles subconsciously felt that the voice sounded familiar, and it was a person who had a deep memory in his memory.

But he had to meet too many people and listen to too many voices in a day, and for a while he didn't remember who the voice belonged to.

"Yes," he nodded slightly, "You are?"

"I am your 'patient'" said the other end of the phone calmly, "We met six days ago at the institute. At that time I was lying on the operating table and you were holding the knife."

Coles' body froze in place. The corridor of the hospital was bustling with people coming and going, but he felt that the world was so silent for a moment.

"Doctor, I have something to ask you. I'm waiting for you at the front desk."

On the other side of the phone, Coles didn't respond. He didn't seem confused, but added softly.

Then the other party hung up the phone.

"Dududu——"

As the phone beeped, Coles still held the phone, his face expressionless and frozen in place.

"Professor? Professor?"

The young resident doctor shouted softly beside him.

"Ah good."

Coles woke up from a dream.

He held his head and rubbed his eyebrows, seeming to be dizzy.

The young doctor immediately stretched out his hand to help him, "Professor? Are you feeling unwell?"

"it's okay no problem."

Coles shook his head, "Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I have to go down."

With that said, he was about to move forward.

"Professor, phone!"

"Oh, okay, give it back to you."

——

After waiting for about ten minutes, He Ao saw Coles at the front desk.

The other party was a little stunned when he saw He Ao for the first time, but he quickly came to his senses, walked over, looked at He Ao, and hesitated to speak.

"There is a cafe outside the hospital, why don't we go there and have a chat?"

Before he spoke, He Ao said with a smile.

Coles looked at He Ao's smiling face and knew that He Ao didn't want to expose this matter. He nodded gently, "Okay."

After saying that he called and gave some instructions, he followed He Ao and left the hospital.

The two quickly walked to the coffee shop outside the hospital.

Ho asked for a cup of black coffee and Coles ordered a cup of milk.

This cafe provides private rooms. The two opened a small private room. He Ao checked and found that there was no camera in the private room.

Black coffee and milk were served quickly,

Coles took a sip of milk. As time passed, his mood gradually calmed down.

"So, what do you want?"

Being an underground doctor is not very honorable, and it is related to an institution in a gray area like a research institute. If it is exposed, it will cause a fatal blow to the medical reputation he has accumulated in half his life.

"Doctor, relax," He Ao said softly, "I just want to understand the ins and outs of this matter, such as...how did you become a 'doctor' at the institute?"

He paused for a moment and added, "With your current status and identity, you should not be short of money."

"The cause is a study."

Coles glanced at He Ao and said in a hoarse voice, "There is a secret research within the Star Group. Rhett was one of the leaders of part of this research. At that time, it was about ten years ago. I was not as tall as I am now.

status, he invited me to participate in this study."

"It seems like this is a very important research project."

Heao sat up straight,

Coles is already a relatively well-known figure in the federal medical community.

It would have been understandable if he had joined this research project because of certain interests when he was young, but at this age and with this status, he is still involved in this research project, which proves that the research project itself is very attractive to him.

"Yes!"

Coles took a sip of coffee and looked out the window.

This private room has a relatively large one-way floor-to-ceiling window. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, you can see the streets coming and going outside the window, as well as the patients who come for medical treatment.

Most of these people are old people with gray hair.

He Ao followed his gaze, turned around, and asked with a smile, "So may I know what the theme of this project is?"

"Theoretically, I signed a confidentiality agreement and shouldn't tell you, but I don't seem to be able to make a decision now,"

Coles turned back to look at He Ao and smiled hoarsely. He paused for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something.

"That project is called the 'Mars Project', and the subject of his research is very simple.

"eternal life."

After he finished speaking, he looked at He Ao's cheek and found that He Ao's expression had not changed much.

He was a little confused, "You don't seem surprised."

"Isn't it normal for a medical consortium to research immortality?" He Ao shrugged.

“When science and technology develop to a certain level, or even do not need to develop to a certain level, there will always be people who control wealth and power who want to control wealth and power forever.

"In the savage era, some priests were responsible for researching immortality. In the modern era, this task will naturally fall on the medical consortium. As the largest medical consortium in the federation, it is not surprising that Qunxing Pharmaceutical has a plan to research immortality.

,

"The key is"

He Ao's eyes were fixed on Coles in front of him, "What did you study?"

"To be precise, 'they' have researched something."

Coles looked out the window with deep eyes,

"For more than ten years, I have never entered the core of research. I can only see 'they' taking out the core results one by one. Of course, by 'ruminating' these core results, I have what I am now.

status."

He Ao stared at the old doctor in front of him, took a sugar cube from the table, added it to the coffee, and shook it gently with a coffee spoon.

This old doctor does not seem to be as virtuous and respectable as he appears on the surface, and is indifferent to fame and fortune.
