Chapter 5

"Crack..."

The man in a suit whom Wu Shichun called Xiao Zhao had just picked up his phone when Yang Chen slapped it out of his hand, sending it flying to the ground. After a crisp sound, the phone shattered into pieces...

In the face of Yang Chen's rude and even barbaric behavior, Wu Shichun was about to utter some harsh words, but suddenly found himself unable to move...

The surrounding air seemed to have completely solidified, as if he had been thrown into a pit and buried alive with cement!

Without any visible action from Yang Chen, Xiao Zhao and the other man suddenly blacked out and fell to the ground.

They lay there like two dead dogs.

Wu Shichun couldn't speak, but his wide, round eyes and the indescribable fear in their depths revealed his current state of mind completely.

At this moment, Yang Chen walked up to him and smiled, "How do you feel?"

"..."

Wu Shichun couldn't move, but Yang Chen paid no attention to him and continued, "Chinese medicine has a long and profound history, with countless methods to make someone die silently... For example, Bone-Dissolving Powder can turn a person into a pool of foul-smelling blood in an instant! Or the Soul-Stealing Incense, which is colorless, formless, and odorless, and can cause instant death with just a touch, leaving no hope for even the gods! And then there's..."

He listed dozens of killing methods that Wu Shichun had never heard of, without any change in his expression or heartbeat.

"Coincidentally, I apprenticed under a strange master in my childhood, and I know all these methods! Now, do you feel very uncomfortable? Do you feel like you're about to suffocate? This is another method of killing with drugs, called 'Steaming Donkey.' As the name suggests, it makes your muscles tense up and lose elasticity... It's like being buried alive, and without the antidote, you will really suffocate to death..."

"Moreover, these methods cannot be explained by science, at least not yet..."

"To put it simply, if I don't give you the antidote now, you will suffocate to death in about three to five minutes... If the police come, I can tell them that you died from emotional agitation, which caused your blood to flow improperly, and you suffocated to death..."

"The police won't find any evidence, so your death will be considered an accident, and I will be fine..."

"Do you think I would come here unprepared? You're wrong... I've been watching you since the first time you found the Hengyang Lab... It's been several days, hasn't it? Haven't you noticed that many of the small items around you have been tampered with?"

"Don't think about taking revenge on me, because killing you... is really very simple!"

As he finished speaking, Yang Chen waved his hand and sprinkled some unknown powder over Wu Shichun.

When the powder landed, Wu Shichun, whose face had turned a deep purple from suffocation, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath...

Just now, he had truly felt the approach of death!

Looking at Yang Chen, who was smiling at him, Wu Shichun crawled several meters away, drenched in cold sweat, and his legs began to tremble violently...

"You... You want to kill me?!"

At this moment, Wu Shichun realized that not only had his two subordinates fainted, but Zhou Xuzheng and Luo Zhong were also lying on the ground...

"Kill you? No, no, no..." Yang Chen shook his head and approached Wu Shichun step by step, "Killing you wouldn't benefit me much... Besides, you don't have the ability to threaten me, do you?"

He squatted down in front of Wu Shichun and placed a hand on his shoulder.

This action made Wu Shichun's heart leap to his throat... This sudden change was severely challenging his understanding of the world!

"You... What do you want to do..." Facing the possibility of sudden death, Wu Shichun trembled like a sieve, but he didn't dare to move.

Earlier, Yang Chen had effortlessly knocked out four people and almost killed him!

Faced with such bizarre and terrifying events, Wu Shichun found himself completely powerless!

"My master once told me that these methods are too bizarre and should not be used lightly in front of others..." Yang Chen said, "They four fainted and didn't see or hear anything, so it's not a big deal... But you heard many secrets of our circle and experienced them firsthand, and you're still alive... This could lead to leaks..."

"I... I didn't mean to hear it!" Wu Shichun, who had lost his composure, turned pale with fear, "You told me, not me..."

"Isn't the result the same?" Yang Chen stopped Wu Shichun's attempt to argue and sighed, "Anyway, heaven has a benevolent nature, and I don't want to kill innocents... Besides, I've already planted a parasite in you..."

"A parasite?"

"Yes, a parasite! It's the kind used by the witch doctors in Miao territory, essentially some vicious insects... It will find a comfortable spot in your body to live, and when necessary, it will eat your internal organs and then drill a hole in your forehead to escape..."

As Yang Chen spoke, Wu Shichun really felt a faint, sharp pain in his left shoulder.

Then he clearly felt something abnormal piercing through his flesh and moving toward his chest...

"You... You..." The combination of his own experience and Yang Chen's explanation almost made Wu Shichun collapse on the spot!

"Don't worry, since I can plant a parasite, I can also control it to prevent it from eating your internal organs..." Yang Chen blinked and said seriously, "So, you must listen to me and not interfere with the Hengyang Lab... Understand?"

"Y... Yes, I understand..." Wu Shichun trembled all over.

Seeing Yang Chen nod and prepare to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "How do you control this insect? Shouldn't you give me some pills or something?"

Isn't that how it's always shown in novels and TV shows?

But Yang Chen paused and said, "What pills? I can make it do whatever I want! It's my precious pet, connected to my thoughts! I wouldn't even use it on others!"

"..." Wu Shichun opened his mouth but didn't dare to ask any more.

He was afraid he would be scared to death!

However, Wu Shichun didn't notice that when Yang Chen turned around, a mischievous smile flashed across his face...

As the vice president of a listed pharmaceutical company, to be scared almost to the point of wetting his pants by some made-up stories? Tsk tsk tsk... If this got out, Wu Shichun would probably be too embarrassed to live!

Yang Chen thought maliciously...

But he didn't consider that if he hadn't used his spiritual techniques to create such a terrifying atmosphere, Wu Shichun wouldn't have been so easily frightened.

After a long while, Wu Shichun still hadn't moved from the ground.

Yang Chen, who was helping Zhou Xuzheng to the sofa, frowned and asked without turning around, "Aren't you leaving?"

Wu Shichun, feeling as if he had been granted a reprieve, quickly got up and dragged his two subordinates out of the office as if fleeing...

The lab finally became quiet.

But Yang Chen sat on the sofa, propping his chin with his hand, and stared at the still unconscious Zhou Xuzheng...

After a long time, a faint sigh echoed in the office...

"1.5 billion! This guy really has the nerve to ask for it..."
