Chapter 450: The H2 Drug is ineffective?
"After he left, the more I thought about it, the angrier and more perplexed I became. I simply couldn’t understand how the plan, which had been successful in seducing men countless times before, could fail with Lin Feng. I could only think there was something wrong with the strong sedative. In my urgency, I tested it on myself. To my surprise, it took only 10 seconds to take effect, and that’s why I came here to you."
Li Hong sighed heavily and recounted everything that had happened that evening to Ma Ming. It had indeed been an odd night, but fortunately, she had found Ma Ming. Otherwise, if she couldn’t withstand the effects of the sedative and ended up dragging any random man from the streets, it would have been dangerous.
"So that’s what happened. You were under the influence of the sedative when you arrived, no wonder you were so aggressive just now." After hearing Li Hong’s story, Ma Ming also finally understood what had happened. Now, he was very curious about what kind of man Lin Feng was, to remain completely unmoved by a genuine beauty like Li Hong. Was he even a man?
In the past, no man had been able to avoid Li Hong’s seduction. They would fall into her trap without realizing it, and then she would befuddle them with her charm, aided by a little other means, which made everything very easy for her.
But Li Hong’s previously foolproof charm was suddenly ineffective against Lin Feng, which was indeed very strange...
"Are you sure you didn’t use the wrong drug at the beginning? Because if you reacted that strongly, and Lin Feng showed no reaction at all, that’s just impossible!" Ma Ming had also thought about it for a long time and couldn’t make sense of it. If a sedative that had such a strong effect on Li Hong didn’t affect Lin Feng after exposure, it was inconceivable unless she had taken the wrong drug to begin with. Otherwise, it was impossible for Lin Feng to show no reaction.
"How could I possibly have taken the wrong one? There was only one bottle of the drug and a wallet in the bag at the time. Under those circumstances, how could I have possibly taken the wrong one?" Li Hong was exasperated by Ma Ming’s suggestion. She had drugged men many times before and, to avoid any mistakes, kept just a bottle of the drug and a wallet in her bag. That was why she had tested the sedative to see whether it was ineffective, otherwise how could she have been burnt by desire from the drug’s effects that evening.
"In that case, how do you plan to get the information the Boss wants? If the mission can’t be completed, we both are in big trouble," Ma Ming said after listening to Li Hong. He knew she must have some other way to deal with the situation. The information about Chu Meng that the Boss wanted could only be extracted from Lin Feng; there was no way around it. If they couldn’t break through Lin Feng, the Boss’s mission was impossible to complete.
Hence, Li Hong was pivotal to the mission’s completion. Without her, the task arranged by the Boss couldn’t be accomplished. Ma Ming now wanted to understand Li Hong’s ultimate plan to evaluate how to proceed next.
"Tell the Boss I’m requesting unconventional means. The sedative and seduction are no longer effective on Lin Feng. We have to choose other methods, or else we definitely can’t complete the mission," Li Hong thought for a moment. Since conventional sedatives and seduction did not work on Lin Feng, they had to resort to unconventional means, such as spy-grade super hallucinogens or interrogation drugs. If the Boss agreed, Li Hong was even ready to combine various methods to extract the information they needed from Lin Feng by any means necessary.
"Alright, I’ll contact the Boss and see," Ma Ming said after hearing Li Hong’s suggestion. He believed that Li Hong’s approach should be reported to the Boss, especially since using unconventional methods could have unforeseen consequences. If they managed to extract information under such circumstances, they might run into trouble that neither was capable of handling.
With that thought, Ma Ming got out of bed and walked over to the computer desk. He booted up a special chat software on the computer. The software and computer had been provided to him by the Boss through special channels to prevent hacker intrusions. The software had only one copy and could only contact the Boss from that particular computer.
Ma Ming had never met the Boss in person. He had encountered the Boss online, who was recruiting investigators at the time. After successfully applying, Ma Ming had been able to timely gather the information required by the Boss on each occasion, rewarding him generously every time. Working with the Boss felt comfortable for Ma Ming. Although he couldn’t see the Boss, it didn’t matter as long as he continued to earn money.
Soon after, the chat software indicated a successful connection.
"Boss, there’s a problem here. Li Hong’s target, Lin Feng, is somewhat special; her strong sedative is ineffective against him," Ma Ming reported the situation directly. Knowing the Boss’s no-nonsense character, their conversations usually were concise. If there was information to be relayed, he would just send it through the chat software.
"What? Li Hong’s sedative is ineffective against Lin Feng? That’s impossible! That secret medicine should have been infallible!" Jack, who was on the other side of the ocean, was astonished upon receiving the message from Ma Ming. The sedative, obtained through special channels, was notoriously potent and indiscriminately effective against all adults, regardless of gender. The drug had been field-tested, and Li Hong had once managed to incapacitate over 20 people with it. It didn’t make sense—it just wasn’t possible for anyone to resist such a potent sedative!
"Boss, it’s true. Li Hong tried the sedative herself tonight to see if it had lost its effectiveness, only to end up consumed by burning desire. She has just come to me and assaulted me. I’ve checked everything, ruling out wrong drug usage and effectiveness loss, and I can confirm that Lin Feng is indeed immune to Li Hong’s sedative."
Ma Ming understood why the Boss didn’t trust the situation. It wasn’t just the Boss who was skeptical; Ma Ming himself had initially found it hard to believe as well, so he promptly explained the specifics to the Boss, hoping to convince him of the astonishing truth.
"This..." Jack stared at the information on the screen, his mind boiling over with confusion. He couldn’t fathom why such a thing would happen, but one thing was certain—it was abnormal. So, what should he do about it?
"Boss, because this kind of sedative has already failed, conventional methods can’t fulfill your mission. Therefore, Li Hong plans to use unconventional methods on Lin Feng. I’m now seeking your permission to proceed."
Ma Ming saw that the Boss didn’t reply, so he directly sent over Li Hong’s request. Given the current situation, to complete the Boss’s mission, this method seemed to be the only way.
"Stop! Everyone, stop! From now on, don’t leave the house and wait for my message." Upon seeing Ma Ming’s message, Jack immediately had a bad feeling. It was impossible for anyone to be immune to that kind of sedative. The fact that Lin Feng could leave the room unscathed after being drugged—and do nothing to Li Hong—was far too unusual.
No, this matter was of great importance. Jack felt he must consult the boss before proceeding, and with that thought, he hurriedly ran to Max Dorrell’s office.
"Boss, I need to consult you about something urgently, concerning the expert with Chu Meng." Jack burst into Max Dorrell’s office, gasping for air as he relayed the matter without pause, indicating its urgency.
"What’s the matter? Take it easy, no need to rush." Max Dorrell was very puzzled by what could make Jack rush to his office in such a hurry.
"Boss, we’ve located Chu Meng’s expert. All we know is that his name is Lin Feng, a French teacher at Yingbo University. I’m arranging to break through him to reach Chu Meng, but an extremely strange thing has happened, which I feel is terribly wrong. That’s why I’ve come straight to you—he’s actually immune to the H2 sedative. My men used H2 on Lin Feng, and it had no effect whatsoever, then he just walked out of my subordinate’s room safe and sound."
Jack hurriedly clarified the situation. Locating Chu Meng was his most important task, and now that an unexpected and highly unusual incident had happened, he definitely needed to report it so that boss Max Dorrell could make a decision.
"What? H2 can fail?" Max Dorrell knew the effects of the H2 sedative well since he had been present at the experiments when it was first brought in. A black subordinate simply smelled it, and within seconds, it began to take effect. How could such a powerful sedative be ineffective on anyone? It seemed impossible.
No, there was one possibility. Lin Feng was an expert who had killed two high-ranking experts sent by the Boss. It could be possible for him to possess such immunity, or perhaps he had acquired China’s legendary resistance to all poisons? It was better to ask the Boss about this, as matters regarding such experts fell more under the Boss’s authority.
With that thought, Max Dorrell immediately called the Boss, Li Zerui, to confirm some details.
"Old Four, is there something you need?" Li Zerui had been recuperating at home lately, feeling incredibly frustrated. He hadn’t expected that Uncle Li, an S-class expert, would also die. The Li Family was now on full alert, not allowing him to leave the house, so receiving a call from Old Four unexpectedly struck him as very odd.
"Boss, is there a way for the person who killed Li Daqi to be immune to a super sedative?" Max Dorrell didn’t waste words and went straight to the key question.
"Li Daqi was a triple-A-grade expert. Only someone of that level or higher could kill him. An expert of that caliber can externalize their True Qi. If that person has strong control over True Qi and guards against it by creating a protective layer of True Qi around their nose and mouth, then they can indeed block out sedatives and other such agents. Do you have news about the expert with Chu Meng?"
As Li Zerui heard Max Dorrell’s question, he naturally began to explain that such a thing could happen. But soon after, he realized the implications of what Max Dorrell had said. Could it be that they had found the person who killed two experts from the Li Family guarding Chu Meng? With this realization, Li Zerui immediately fired questions back at Max Dorrell. This person had killed two members of the Li Family, and he couldn’t be let off. Though the Li Family was currently in lockdown, it wouldn’t last forever.
