Chapter 479: Old man Xue’s Secret
Translator: 549690339
The matter of implanting a miniature bomb was real, Xue Peng suddenly lost his calm.
His granddaughter was his only family member, and the pain of losing a family member was still vivid in his mind.
!!
“Get li Sansi to talk to me.”
Xue Peng said in a deep voice.
Lu Zitong had long been out of her wits. Whatever her grandfather said, of course, she would do it. She hurriedly called for someone from a distance.
In fact, li xiaonian didn’t really leave. Instead, he hid in the room next door and secretly eavesdropped on Lu Zitong’s conversation. He was very satisfied with the whole process.
Li xiaonian did not appear immediately when Lu Zitong called out. Instead, he deliberately delayed for more than ten minutes before he slowly stood in front of Lu Zitong.
“Teacher Lu, have you thought it through?” Li xiaonian lied through his teeth.
Lu Zitong handed the phone to li xiaonian, her face full of grievance. “My grandfather wants to talk to you.”
Li xiaonian coldly took the phone from him, as if he was talking to an old friend.”Miracle doctor Xue, you’re a busy man. How do you have time to talk to me at this time?”
“Stay away from my granddaughter. I don’t want her to overhear our conversation,” Xue Peng said in a low voice after a moment of silence.
“No problem,” he said.
Li xiaonian was in a good mood. He glanced at Lu Zitong, then turned around and left.
After returning to his ‘office’, li xiaonian said calmly,”If you have anything to say, you can say it now. Your precious granddaughter naturally won’t hear you.”
Xue Peng clenched his fists tightly before relaxing them again. “Don’t you just want something to use against me? I’ll fulfill your request, but I’ll say this first. If you have something against me and still dare to threaten me, I’ll die with you even if I have to give up my hundred years of effort.”
After saying that, Xue Peng gritted his teeth.
Li xiaonian’s eyes brightened. He said calmly, tell me, what shameful things have you done that is enough to make me let my guard down? ”
“Come to this old man’s Medical Center, you will know everything.”
Without waiting for li xiaonian’s reply, Xue Peng hung up the phone dejectedly.
Li xiaonian’s eyes twinkled.
When they arrived at the living room, all the subordinates who were waiting for li xiaonian stood up one after another.
“Boss,”
“Boss,”
……
“Yeah.”
Li xiaonian nodded and said solemnly, ” I need to go out for a while. While I’m away, you guys need to keep an eye on teacher Lu at all times. If there’s any sign of trouble, kill her immediately. We can only live if we are ruthless. She is the only bargaining chip in our hands. Once she escapes, we will all die.”
“Yes.”
Lang Tiantong swung the gun in his hand,”Boss, don’t worry. I’m quite confident in guarding a weak … Woman.”
Lang Tiantong originally wanted to call Lu Zitong a weak human, but he quickly changed it to a ‘woman’.
To prevent li xiaonian from seeing it clearly, lang Tiantong added,”While you’re away, I’ll tie a bomb to her and arrange for my team to keep an eye on her. Also, our building will be in the highest alert state.”
“Yeah.”
Li xiaonian nodded, acknowledging what lang Tiantong said.
……
Li xiaonian returned to the clinic. This time, he finally saw the clinic’s signboard in an inconspicuous corner. It was ” Xuanhu clinic.
Saving the world? It was an ironic name.
The registration fee was 10000 dragon coins. Such a high fee was only for the rich. With old man Xue’s ruthlessness and cunningness, even if the rich came to see him, they would only be stripped of a layer of their wealth after the illness was cured.
This time, old man Xue’s in-name disciple, bi Yinghua, wasn’t around. It was completely silent inside. Through his divine sense, li xiaonian could clearly sense old man Xue’s location.
They passed through the courtyard and entered the living room.
Old Xue sat on an old-fashioned wooden armchair in the living room and stared at li xiaonian expressionlessly. “You’re the most cunning and shameless prisoner I’ve ever seen.”
“Same to you. You’re the most harmless yet brutal old man I’ve ever met,” li xiaonian said bluntly.
From the beginning to the end, old man Xue had never revealed any ill intent towards him, nor had he shown any intense enmity or killing intent.
However, li xiaonian could only think of the worst.
The truth had proven that his method was very accurate. The old man in front of him was countless times more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. If this matter was not resolved today, things would become very bad.
Xue Peng sat on the armchair, looking old and clumsy. He stared at li xiaonian quietly.
“Did you call me here today just to say this nonsense?” li xiaonian asked slowly.
Old man Xue enunciated each word in a serious tone, ” after today, if you still hold on to my granddaughter, I’ll take you down with me. You’re on your own now.
Without waiting for li xiaonian to respond, old Xue stood up. “Come with me.”
Xue Peng brought li xiaonian into the study room, which was filled with medical books. Then, he pushed the wall behind the bookshelf.
Gulp …
A dark underground passage appeared in front of them.
Xue Peng turned on the lights and slowly walked forward, one step at a time. “Follow my footsteps. If you want to die, then pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Li xiaonian didn’t know what old Xue was up to, but since he dared to come here, he wasn’t afraid of old Xue doing anything to him.
There was an underground passage more than 30 meters deep, surrounded by traps.
Li xiaonian could even smell gunpowder and gasoline. If such a hidden place was discovered by outsiders, with old Xue’s ruthlessness, he would definitely detonate the bomb or gunpowder buried here and flatten the place.
Could it be that … The base where old man Xue used living people to refine soul pills was hidden here?
Three minutes later, old Xue opened a thick iron door. “This is my life’s work. You’re the first outsider to know about it, other than me,”
The iron door opened, and a strong smell of formalin hit them in the face.
Da ~~
The light illuminated the entire underground space.
He saw hundreds of containers filled with formalin, soaking bodies one after another. Most of these bodies were members of the dragon clan, and a few were humans.
There were even more than a dozen baby corpses.
Li xiaonian felt much more at ease when he saw so many corpses. Old Xue’s crime would not be any lighter than his if the secret of such an important laboratory was leaked.
Li xiaonian felt at ease, but it wasn’t enough. Immediately, he said indifferently,””What do these experimentals represent? You can’t be thinking that I’ll let down my guard just because you let me see these so-called secrets, right?”
The moment he entered the laboratory, Xue Peng had been sensing the changes in li xiaonian’s expression. In his perception, li xiaonian wasn’t surprised when he saw so many corpses. Instead, he was happy. This made him feel as frustrated as if he was waving his fist on cotton.
Xue Peng walked to the front of the largest container and pointed to the Dragon corpse in the solution. “This is the evil Dragon city’s most popular Archon, di Long. If I didn’t help him, he would have been at least a Deputy city Lord by now. If you were to leak this information out, you’ll be in trouble. I’m about to face the endless pursuit of the dragon clan. Is this old man’s handle enough for you to let go of my granddaughter?”
Li xiaonian stared at di Long’s corpse and examined it carefully.
Dylan had been soaked in formalin. Although he had been dead for a long time, his body did not change much. From the outline of the muscles and the color of the Dragon nails, it was easy to distinguish the strength of the corpse when it was alive.
This di Long is indeed very strong. In fact, he’s even stronger than old man Xue.
“Old man Xue, don’t tell anyone that you killed this person by yourself. Twenty years ago, your strength was definitely not at this level. You have no chance of winning against this Dragonman.” Li xiaonian tried to probe.
“Hmph,” he snorted.
Xue Peng coldly snorted, with a trace of arrogance,”I’m a doctor, not a butcher. When one was prepared, no matter how strong one was, what could they do? Of course, I won’t deny that in order to get rid of this guy, the materials used to set up the formation were enough to make me go bankrupt.”
After saying that, Xue Peng looked at li xiaonian with a pained expression.”You’re the first person to not die by my hands.”
Li xiaonian shrugged and gave an irrelevant answer.”You want to collect my corpse? Or is it because my soul is strong and suitable to be made into a drug primer?”
“As expected, the strength of your soul is stronger than anyone I’ve ever seen.” Xue Peng’s eyes flashed.
“Hehe.”
Li xiaonian sneered. tell me. What kind of experiment are you going to use these corpses for? don’t tell me it’s just your hobby.
of course it’s not a hobby. As for what it does … Xue Peng sneered, ” “Do you think I’ll tell an outsider like you? Since you’ve already gotten hold of my weakness, I hope you can obediently return my granddaughter to me unscathed.”
Li xiaonian nodded, took out his phone, and waved it around.”You don’t mind if I take a few photos to save? Of course, you don’t have to worry, I’ll be stupid enough to keep the pictures on the internet. I’ll just make these pictures into garbled characters and mosaic them so that others can’t see what they are. Then, I’ll make some passwords, and if I don’t log in to the computer for a long time, the pictures will be restored automatically and sent to the supernatural Bureau. That’s all.”
This old man was too ruthless. Even if he couldn’t find anything to use against him, he didn’t dare to contact the Army. He was not afraid of anything, but just in case.
Hearing li xiaonian’s request, old Xue’s face froze. After a long while, he nodded. I don’t mind if you want to take a photo. But you have to remember that if anything happens to me or my granddaughter, I’ll put the blame on you and fight you to the death.
Li xiaonian shrugged nonchalantly and kept taking pictures of the laboratory. He wanted to take pictures of all the containers containing the corpses, but the phone he was using now was very outdated and could only store about thirty pictures at most.
Suddenly.
Old man Xue thought of something and said, ” li Sansi, do you think I’m cruel? ”
“Yes.” Li xiaonian nodded his head as if it was only natural.
Old Xue’s face froze, then he shook his head and pointed at the corpses. “The people here are all people that must be killed. I was a B-grade bounty hunter when I was young. Other than hunting criminals, I’ll also deal with any injustice I see. These people are my targets.”
“Hehe.”
Li xiaonian sneered and pointed at the baby’s corpse. “Those people must be killed as well?”
“Those are dead babies that I bought from the hospital, and a small part of them from their parents. Those poor people, in order to survive, they sell their names and their children will die, they don’t care at all.”
Li xiaonian didn’t believe Xue Peng’s explanation at all. He wasn’t a three-year-old child.”Old man Xue, don’t beat around the bush, just say what you want to say.”
“We can be considered as friends after a fight,” Xue Peng nodded and said,”I think there’s room for cooperation between us. I’ll provide you with legal identities and funds, but in return, you’ll have to find some fresh bodies for me. Other than that, your subordinate, Pi Chunsheng, has to do the experiment with me. ”
Hearing this, li xiaonian narrowed his eyes.”Old man, didn’t anyone tell you that you have a big appetite?”
An ID card and some money was enough to get him to work for him. He even wanted to poach the top student, Pi Chunsheng.
If Pi Chunsheng didn’t make the mini bomb, he wouldn’t know his value. But after this, he had a deep understanding of the top student Pi Chunsheng.
Pi Chunsheng was like a moving treasure chest, as long as he used it properly, he would be able to create an endless amount of wealth for him.
Xue Peng didn’t care whether li xiaonian was angry or not. He continued, you don’t think that it’s easy to get a legal identity in evil Dragon City, do you? ”
“Do you think I care if it’s easy or not? Without any proof of identity, I can still live a carefree life in Qingshui town.”
Xue Peng was silent.
“Tell me, if we work together, what are your conditions?”
Since li xiaonian was willing to waste his breath and chat with him, it meant that li xiaonian had something to ask of him.
“I have a big appetite. I’m afraid you can’t satisfy me.” Li xiaonian said slowly.
“Tell me.”
“Gold, I need a drop of gold,” Li xiaonian stated his purpose.
Gold was closely related to space. As long as there was gold, there was a chance to open the Zi Wei star hidden in the stomach. After all, there were countless materials in the Zi Wei Star Ring. If he could take out the star field log-in device, he might even be able to log in and meet his family in the star field.
“Hahaha …”
Xue Peng couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t angry, but instead gave a thumbs up.”Very good. Since you have such a big appetite, then there is even more need for us to cooperate.”
As he spoke, Xue Peng pointed to the people present who said they had containers, ” the experiments in my laboratory are all for the sake of compressing and refining gold, and making gold.
Using corpses to make gold?
Li xiaonian couldn’t wrap his head around this.
Xue Peng smiled faintly. there’s no harm in telling you. Although these corpses are dead, their consciousness is not truly dead. So many corpses are constantly providing mysterious soul power and spiritual power. Soul power and mental energy were both essential sources of energy for making gold. The theory behind the experiment is bloody and cruel, which is also the main reason why the method of making gilt is tightly covered up and not spread.”
“Brother, this old man is telling the truth,” Tong Tong suddenly said.
“……”
Li xiaonian stared at the densely packed living corpses, his mood becoming very complicated.
