Capítulo 1522: Chapter 1523: Striking Back

Lin Yifan, who walked out of the research lab, suddenly had an alarming thought halfway: “Damn it, I’ve lost something!”

He hurriedly turned back, but was stopped by Zhong Hongyan: “True Master Lin, what did you lose?”

“I lost something very important in the research lab, I need to go back and get it.”

“No need to trouble True Master Lin to go personally, I can have someone send it over later.”

Zhong Hongyan strongly urged against it, as she knew the situation in the research lab.

“No, this is my most important treasure, I must get it quickly and personally.”

“Really, True Master Lin, it’s not necessary.”

“Miss Zhong, why are you stopping me? Is there something you don’t want me to see?” Yifan suddenly changed the topic, launching a surprise attack.

“No way? I’m simply being considerate. Since True Master Lin is so anxious to recover his treasure, I won’t stop you.”

Zhong Hongyan’s heart was pounding, her mood a bit tense.

All of Lin Yifan’s actions seemed not to accept their ingratiation as they appeared on the surface. He’s looking for reasons to eliminate the Night Osmanthus Auction Organization, and once he gets them, he’ll take action.

“That’s good!”

Lin Yifan quickly returned to the research lab, but the scene before him was somewhat unexpected.

Everything here was normal, there wasn’t a frantic rush to destroy evidence or move items.

Seeing Lin Yifan at the door, the researchers inside the lab set aside their work, curiously asking, “True Master Lin, what are you back for?”

“Oh, nothing, just wanted to check if I lost anything.” Lin Yifan replied.

“Did you find it? Do you need us to help you search?”

“No need, maybe I was mistaken. You all continue working, I’ll go tour the production workshop.”

After saying this, Lin Yifan left the lab, continuing to follow Zhong Hongyan to the production workshop.

Watching his departing back, Lei Zhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren’t for Zhong Hongyan’s timely secret communication, they would have been caught red-handed.

This guy seems intent on monopolizing their Night Osmanthus Auction, but in fact, he wants to eliminate them entirely. Therefore, the evidence of these new elixirs must not remain. They chose to destroy it directly, rather than transporting it.

To prevent Lin Yifan from launching another attack, they posted guards at the staircase and had the surveillance room staff monitor Lin Yifan’s movements the entire time, reporting immediately if something went wrong.

This time, they waited until Lin Yifan’s itinerary was stable and he had moved far away before destroying research data, formulas, and so on.

Even though the measures were well taken, in front of Lin Yifan, a True Master Five Realm Peak expert, such “minor precautions” were still insufficient.

Lin Yifan used the “Shadow Clone Technique” to escape, then with “Great Roc Spreading Wings” Immortal Level Light Skill, swiftly returned to the research lab.

This process was so brief that Zhong Hongyan had only one second of reaction time.

When Zhong Hongyan realized it, Lin Yifan had already reached the research lab’s door. In other words, any communication, any personnel checks were useless.

“Damn!” Zhong Hongyan sensed something wrong and immediately returned to the research lab.

At this time, Lin Yifan was interrogating Lei Zhen and the others: “What are you doing?”

“True Master Lin? You’re back again?”

Lei Zhen was calm and composed, without a shred of panic.

Because for an old fox like him, panic meant failure. As a businessman and someone who stands in this world, he couldn’t allow himself a day of failure.

Even if Lin Yifan witnessed it firsthand, he would outright deny it.

Lin Yifan was somewhat astonished, that this old fox could remain calm even in the face of his eyewitness account. It was quite something.

Given this, he decided to face this old fox properly and responded: “Yeah!”

“What’s it for this time?” Lei Zhen curiously asked.

“Oh, nothing, just wanted to know what you’re up to with all this frantic and sneaky activity.” Lin Yifan got straight to the point.

“We’re handling some unnecessary documents and experimental waste. Hope True Master Lin doesn’t worry too much,” Lei Zhen explained.

“Really? Do you need to clear out all the equipment on the experiment table and various instruments for handling these things?” Lin Yifan questioned.

“These things are all disposable; once used, they’re no longer needed.”

“You at Night Osmanthus are quite generous, destroying a set of experimental equipment after one experiment. Impressive! Impressive!”

“To research good things, expending some research funds is appropriate.”

“Good things? What kind of elixirs are you researching?”

“Nothing much, just high-grade elixirs refined by Medicinal Saint Valley. We’re experimenting on how to perfectly produce them.”

“Oh? Then tell me, what high-grade elixir are you researching?”

“Great Dao Ascension Pill!”

“Liar! Does the Great Dao Ascension Pill use Illusory Lotus Herb? Tell me, what elixir are you truly researching?” Lin Yifan asked coldly again.

He had long seen what was wrong with the experiment on the table; he just hadn’t pointed it out yet.

Illusory Lotus Herb has the effect of enchanting people, in large quantities, it can also make people lose their sense of direction, like living corpses, or be manipulated at will.

He truly didn’t know what the people at the Night Osmanthus Auction were doing with these medicinal herbs. Could it be like some foreign cultivation organizations, nurturing a new generation of “Death Warriors”? If that’s truly the case, it would be unforgivable.

“True Master Lin, we are indeed researching the Great Dao Ascension Pill; you must believe us!” Lei Zhen pleaded, feeling wronged.

“Believe you? Or maybe I’ll slap you to death?”

Lin Yifan raised his hand, furious.

At this moment, Zhong Hongyan returned. Seeing Lin Yifan’s sudden rage, she held onto Lin Yifan’s hand while persuading, “True Master Lin, what’s wrong? What happened?”

“Get lost!”

Lin Yifan pushed the woman away, unwilling to let this filthy woman touch his body.

Zhong Hongyan was terrified. She hadn’t expected Lin Yifan to treat her so rudely, truly disappointing and heartbreaking.

“Damn it!”

Lei Ming’s fists clenched tightly in utter hatred.

Zhong Hongyan was his woman, yet Lin Yifan treated her that way, as if not taking him seriously at all.

Earlier, when Lin Yifan lifted Zhong Hongyan’s chin with his hand, teasing her, he could hardly bear it. If his father Lei Zhen hadn’t stopped him secretly, he would’ve already lashed out at Lin Yifan.

This time, he truly couldn’t hold back anymore and was about to act, but he was held back by his father once again.

Here, going head-to-head with Lin Yifan brings no advantage at all; therefore, they must negotiate if possible, and even if not possible, they still have to negotiate.

“True Master Lin, I’m really not lying to you. Check for yourself, and if there’s even a hint of falsehood in what I say, you can do as you wish!”

“Fine! In that case, I’ll put you out of your misery!”
