Chapter 225: 225

As soon as Zhang Xian saw the people rushing forward with their guns, shooting without any hesitation or question, he was a little annoyed. He embraced Duan Hong and hid around the corner.

"Ah..."

A scream echoed in the air. A lackey had not retreated to the corner in time, ending up with a bullet in his thigh.

Observing the situation, another lackey quickly pulled him over.

That just happened, narrowly escaping danger. Had Zhang Xian not reminded them in time for them to retreat, at least half of them would have been shot in this round of gunfire.

Duan Hong was utterly terrified, her pretty face turning pale.

Regaining her composure, she asked Zhang Xian, "What’s going on? Why do they have guns?"

Zhang Xian furrowed his brows, sweeping his spiritual sense over the middle-aged men holding the guns.

He originally thought Tao Jinbao had set up this lab just for drug research and to secure a position in the pharmaceutical industry. However, upon observation, this didn’t seem to be the case. This lab harbored unspeakable secrets. If Tao Jinbao only wished to engage in the pharmaceutical business, there was no reason for him to equip such a strong defense, let alone to arm each person with a gun. It implied that there was a significant risk involved in this business.

With a cold smirk, he muttered, "Damn, I underestimated Tao Jinbao."

"I know right, I didn’t expect him to have such strong backing." He Zheng was also pretty shaken, "With these guys here, except for organizations like Jinwan Casino, real underworld societies, not many in Yantai would dare to challenge Tao Jinbao. We’re just small fries merely making a living in this underworld. We don’t dare to touch guns."

"Why would Tao Jinbao do such a thing?" Duan Hong asked, her brows knitted.

"It’s perfectly normal for you not to know. Even as his wife, there are things he wouldn’t confide in you. If you hadn’t come here by chance, would you have known about this lab?" Zhang Xian said.

Duan Hong lowered her head, saying no more.

When she was on good terms with Tao Jinbao, she had noticed his deliberate concealment from her.

But she didn’t mind that much at the time, not expecting Tao Jinbao would ever engage in illegal conduct. After all, Hachi Pharmaceuticals was not a run-of-the-mill company, and Tao Jinbao did not need to take such a huge risk.

"Charge. The boss says to leave no one alive. Kill them all."

A middle-aged man chuckled lightly, heading towards the corner. With a gun in his hand, what did he have to fear?

With guns in their hands, each one held themselves high.

Seeing these middle-aged men acting recklessly, Zhang Xian smirked, "All of you, stay here. I’ll deal with them."

"Zhang Xian..." Duan Hong grabbed Zhang Xian’s arm, blurting out, "Are you crazy? They have guns. Aren’t you presenting yourself as a target by stepping out right now? Why take such a big risk?"

"Heh heh! So what if they have guns? Against a real expert, guns are of no use." Zhang Xian chuckled and suddenly whirled out like a gust of wind.

Caught off guard, the middle-aged men were momentarily stunned, seeing a figure dart out but not seeing who it was.

Once they composed themselves, one of the men raised his gun aiming to squeeze the trigger.

Just at that moment, a gust of wind swept in, and his arm fell to the ground before his very eyes, blood spurting out.

"Ah... my hand."

A few breaths later, the middle-aged man screamed in agony.

The other middle-aged men were left dumbfounded at this sight.

At that moment, Zhang Xian struck again, letting out several gusts of wind. All the middle-aged men’s arms were severed at the shoulders, falling to the ground.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

Screams reverberated in the cave, loud and heart-wrenching.

He Zheng and others heard the screams and peered out. As soon as they beheld the scene, they were all taken aback, eyes wide open.

"How can this be?" Duan Hong’s eyes were wide open, her face filled with disbelief.

Zhang Xian had left only a few seconds ago, and now all the middle-aged men’s arms had been severed. What on earth had happened? Zhang Xian had nothing in his hands, so how did he manage to cut off their arms?

"Brother Xian seems even more awesome than I imagined!" He Zheng was utterly shocked.

Last time he thought Zhang Xian was impressive. Now, witnessing this miraculous scene, he could barely believe his eyes.

To him, Zhang Xian was as unfathomable as an immortal, always exuding an aura of mystery.

"Everyone else, stay outside. Elder Sister Hong, come with me." Zhang Xian said.

Duan Hong hesitated a moment, then ran up, latching onto Zhang Xian’s arm, asking, "Why do you want me to go in? Do you have a hidden agenda?"

"Don’t you want to see Tao Jinbao fall? Today, I’ll grant you this wish." Zhang Xian grinned, taking her by the slim waist and striding towards the entrance.

Snapping back to her senses, Duan Hong wrapped her arms around Zhang Xian’s arm, laughing, "Alright, I’ll go in with you."

Zhang Xian chuckled lightly. His spiritual sense swept a quick circle, and a burst of crackling noises echoed through, sounding as if something had exploded.

Duan Hong asked in bewilderment, "What was that noise just now?"

Zhang Xian grinned, "Security cameras."

...

In the experimental base, within a certain room.

Tao Jinbao was staring at the monitor in front of him with a shocked expression, unable to recover for a long time.

The experts he had called in were taken down by Zhang Xian just like that? And they all had guns in their hands, what was happening?

He had just witnessed a bizarre scene. Zhang Xian barely made a move and the arm of the experts got severed like they were chopped off and landed on the ground, spurting blood.

"Blimey, is this guy even human?" The look on Tao Jinbao’s face was absolutely priceless.

If Zhang Xian managed to take down a few experts who were armed with guns, he might have accepted it, but he really couldn’t figure out how their arms got severed. It was just too strange.

"Zzz..."

Suddenly, the screen of one monitor turned to static.

"Zzz..."

As if they were waiting in a queue, the previously normal monitors turned to static one by one.

"Damn it..." Tao Jinbao cursed under his breath and couldn’t sit still anymore. He turned around and left the room, heading off in a particular direction.

His experts had been taken down, and he couldn’t stop Zhang Xian. All he could do was run for his life fast.

If this incident leaked out, he was sure to get in serious trouble. At this point, he didn’t care about Hachi Pharmaceuticals or Zhu Pharmaceuticals, escaping was his top priority.

"Where do you think you’re going?" A cold voice sounded.

Tao Jinbao turned to look and saw Zhang Xian coming over. He was scared out of his wits and started to run wildly.

"You think you can run?" Zhang Xian took a stride forward and grabbed Tao Jinbao before smashing him against the wall. "At this point, do you think you’ll have a chance to run?"

Tao Jinbao was dazed from the impact, sat down on the floor, no longer having the thought, or the ability, to run away.

With a bitter smile, he saw that Duan Hong was there too and shook his head, saying, "I never imagined I would finally be defeated by my own wife, how utterly ridiculous."

"Actually, you were defeated by yourself." Zhang Xian said, "When I saved Elder Sister Hong, I already indicated my intentions. But because Elder Sister Hong remembered old times, she never mentioned anything about you to me, and had no intention of betraying you, despite being grateful to me. There’s a saying, those who do not court death will not die. If you hadn’t been so presumptuous, would you be in this predicament now?"

Tao Jinbao was stunned and rendered speechless.

Duan Hong stood, arms folded, devoid of sympathy. After being hurt over and over again, her heart was shattered and could never be pieced together again.

Zhang Xian picked up Tao Jinbao, saying, "Behave and you might suffer less pain, it’s up to you how you want to play it."

Tao Jinbao replied, "I’m already in your hands, what can I do to be arrogant?"

"Did you sabotage Zhu Pharmaceuticals? Why did you cause harm to people?" Zhang Xian demanded coldly.

"Yes, that was indeed my doing." Tao Jinbao admitted, "I’m a greedy man, and I always want to make more money when I’ve made some. Zhu Pharmaceuticals was a hurdle in my way."

Again Zhang Xian asked, "And what about Zhu Yan? Was that you as well?"

Tao Jinbao replied, "Yes, Liu Xiaowen wouldn’t back down, so I wanted to use Zhu Yan’s death to provoke Liu Xiaowen, make him give up on Zhu Pharmaceuticals, and then sell it to me at a low price."

Once again Zhang Xian asked, "Among the guys you called in, was there one with a scar on his face?"

"Yes, you’d better be careful." Tao Jinbao smirked, "That guy is a wanted criminal, and he’s vicious."

"Oh, don’t worry about that. If he dares to come again, I’ll make sure to take care of him." Zhang Xian answered with a sneer, "Take me to your laboratory, you should have that new type of virus here."

Tao Jinbao had no intention of playing tricks anymore, and he knew they’d be of no use.

Earlier, having witnessed Zhang Xian’s horrifying power, his only thought was to escape. He had no intentions of seeking revenge. At this point, he was filled with fear towards Zhang Xian.

"You... you guys..."

The three researchers were scared witless when they saw Zhang Xian dragging Tao Jinbao in.

Zhang Xian ignored the three researchers, his mind swept over the lab and indeed found the new type of virus, which matched the toxins found in the hospital patients.

At this moment, the issue with Zhu Pharmaceuticals had come to an end, and he could vindicate Zhu Pharmaceuticals by exposing these things to the public.

He chuckled, then took out his phone and dialed a number, "He Zheng, call your friend the police chief, tell him to bring some people over, there’s a big good news waiting for him here."

"Brother Xian, have you already handled the situation?"

"Yes, just make the call. Also, you all can come in now, we are in the lab."

"Okay, I’m bringing people in right away."

A middle-aged man, seeing that Zhang Xian was calling the police and that there were more people coming, immediately ran towards the exit.

Zhang Xian teleported in front of the man and slapped him across the face, "Trying to run under my nose? Do you think you can teleport?"

"Cough, cough..." The middle-aged man was slapped aside by Zhang Xian and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood mixed with teeth as he fell to the ground.

The two other men also thought of escaping. When they saw their companion being knocked out by Zhang Xian’s slap, they immediately abandoned the idea. They had all witnessed Zhang Xian’s speed first hand and knew they couldn’t escape.
