Capítulo 1225: Chapter 1225
The atmosphere in the living room of the Cheng family villa was sowhat heavy.
After hanging up Uncle Long’s call, Zhang Yang fell into deep thought.
Cheng Tianming wanted to speak but hesitated, his eyes full of worry.
After years of struggling in the East River business circle, he knew better than anyone how cunning Uncle Long was.
“Dad, there’s no better option now,” Cheng Yue said softly.
Jin Tuantuan leaned against the door fra, fiddling with a small butterfly knife, then sneered, “Uncle Long may be cunning, but he has old grudges with the Qingyi Sect, which is the only leverage we have.”
Then Jin Tuantuan’s gaze swept over Lin Haoyu, who was tied to a dining chair, “As for this Young Master Lin, he seems to be of no use.”
Lin Haoyu made muffled sounds, stared wide-eyed, and shook his head desperately, trying to break free from the ropes, the chair legs making a harsh noise on the floor.
“Be quiet,” Xia Xue frowned and kicked the chair.
She disliked this man who almost got engaged to Cheng Yue.
Even if the Lin family was also being used, this guy was definitely no good.
After scolding Lin Haoyu, Xia Xue took out Cheng Yue’s dicine box, “Yueyue, the wound on your arm needs to be treated again, it got dust on it outside.”
Cheng Yue obediently extended her arm, and Xia Xue opened the dicine box, took out iodine and cotton swabs.
The sll of disinfectant spread, diluting the oppressive atmosphere in the living room.
Cheng Yue looked at Xia Xue’s focused profile and suddenly said in a low voice, “Truly the ideal wife and mother, but unfortunately, she will soon be a big star.”
“Get lost, keep talking like that and I won’t help you anymore!”
Just then, Zhang Yang’s phone suddenly vibrated, it was a ssage from Uncle Long, only an address and a ti: “Tomorrow night at ten, Warehouse 3 at East River Pier. Bring the Soul Resurrection Grass, I’ll arrange everything.”
Zhang Yang stared at the screen, his brows furrowed.
Could East River Pier be one of the early Qingyi Sect bases again?
Uncle Long, this old fox, chose to et there; what was his intention?
Jin Tuantuan leaned over, glanced at the ssage, and whispered, “The pier has complex terrain, easy for ambush and escape. Uncle Long, this old fox, picked a good place.”
Zhang Yang coldly laughed, “I think he’s trying to muddy the waters even more.”
Zhang Yang put down the phone, his tone icy, “Tuantuan, have the Blood-colored Begonia’s people stand by on the outskirts of the pier. Without my order, they’re not to act rashly.”
“Understood,” Jin Tuantuan imdiately began to make arrangents.
Watching all this, Cheng Tianming suddenly spoke, “Mr. Zhang, what if… what if the Qingyi Sect refuses to release the hostage?”
Cheng Tianming seed pessimistic about this action, after all, his elder had been controlled by Wang Jiu for so many years.
Even now, he didn’t feel he had done anything wrong.
Zhang Yang turned around, his eyes sharp, “They will release them.”
Then Zhang Yang took out the small bottle containing the remains of the Soul Resurrection Grass, shaking it gently under the light, “Because this is more important to them than Xiao Man’s life.”
The black powder in the small bottle swayed slightly, revealing nothing at all.
At this mont, Lin Haoyu’s eyes widened as if he rembered sothing, and he moaned more urgently in his throat.
Curious, Cheng Yue asked, “Zhang Yang, what exactly does this Soul Resurrection Grass do? Can it really bring people back to life?”
As a top expert in the field of dicine, Cheng Yue was full of doubts about such legendary things.
“Resurrection might be an exaggeration, but life extension is certain,” Zhang Yang put the small bottle away.
“The Qingyi Sect doesn’t know who they’re going to use it for.”
“But one thing I can’t quite figure out, it’s understandable that the Qingyi Sect has its own goals and is eager for that heritage and the Soul Resurrection Grass.”
“But what about the other forces?”
After all, many powers had previously been targeting Jin Tuantuan.
Even financial groups from H Country got involved.
It seed as if a greater power was driving all this.
To this, Jin Tuantuan couldn’t provide an answer, but confidently said, “Actually, I think what those people care about might not be the Soul Resurrection Grass, but that old gentleman’s legacy.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded, suspecting the sa.
At this mont, Zhang Yang rembered the experintal data he saw at the clock factory, which recorded human genetic modification, with the Soul Resurrection Grass as the key catalyst.
Cheng Yue suddenly looked up, “So grandfather back then…”
“Your grandfather was just being used by Wang Jiu,” Zhang Yang sighed.
“Wang Jiu promised to resurrect your grandmother with the Soul Resurrection Grass, but it was actually to control the Cheng family, acquiring more resources for his crazy experints.”
The living room fell silent again, except for Lin Haoyu’s incessant moaning, which was quite irritating.
Zhang Yang walked over to Lin Haoyu and removed the towel from his mouth.
“Speak, what do you know?” Zhang Yang looked at this guy with undisguised disdain.
Lin Haoyu coughed a few tis, took several breaths before saying, “I… I have been to that clock factory!”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Haoyu.
Zhang Yang imdiately grabbed Lin Haoyu, “Say it again, where have you been?”
Lin Haoyu was quite uncomfortable being grabbed by Zhang Yang, but facing Zhang Yang’s sharp gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver inside.
Then he quickly said, “I said, I’ve been to that clock factory.”
He hurriedly explained, “When I went, I was drunk and disoriented from drinking at a bar, and then soone took away.”
“I thought at the ti that soone was sending ho.”
“There were also a few young n and won in the car, and I didn’t think much of it.”
“But once I arrived, I felt sothing was wrong.”
“And then, vaguely, I seed to see them experinting on live people,” Lin Haoyu’s voice trembled.
Zhang Yang, after hearing this, asked in a deep voice, “Then how did you escape?”
“They seed to recognize my identity and took away, but not before giving a lot of alcohol.”
“When I woke up again, I found myself already at ho.”
“But they didn’t know, I may not be good at much, but I can hold my liquor. No matter how much I drink, I won’t blackout.”
“So I rember everything that happened that night.”
“But at the ti, I didn’t know those were Qingyi Sect’s people, I thought it was a kidnapper or an organ trafficking gang.”
“Out of fear of their retaliation, I didn’t reveal this incident.”
“Experintal subjects?” Cheng Yue was slightly stunned.
“Isn’t that similar to what’s under East River Hospital?”
Zhang Yang shook his head, “There might be differences, otherwise the Qingyi Sect wouldn’t have used Xiao Man to stop us from entering.”
At this point, Lin Haoyu continued, “I later secretly sent people to investigate the place.”
“Even if you went, it would be no use, because just at that ti, they moved everything out.”
Moved?
