Chapter 205: Incensed
After Ji Wenbo and the other man were taken away, the coldness in Zheng Changdong’s eyes deepened.
“Lord, are you going to follow them?” someone beside Zheng Changdong asked.
“No need, we’re going back.” Perhaps certain that Ji Wenbo and the other man couldn’t escape, Zheng Changdong said calmly, “Remember to send them back to the Ji Group before sunset.”
With that, Zheng Changdong got up and left the private room, secretly departing the Imperial Palace.
Only then did Xia Chenge quietly follow the people who had taken Ji Wenbo away.
Ji Wenbo and the other man were taken by Zheng Changdong’s men to the first floor and then to the ice cellar.
Xia Chenge’s mouth twitched.
Ling Zhongwen’s laboratory was hidden in the morgue, and Zheng Changdong’s laboratory was hidden in the ice cellar…
Heh, they really knew how to find places that ordinary people wouldn’t suspect.
At the end of the ice cellar, a tightly sealed door was hidden. The man in the lead entered a password, verified his fingerprint, and performed an infrared scan. After several minutes of fiddling, he finally opened the door.
Behind that door was clearly another world.
As soon as the door opened, Xia Chenge darted in with lightning speed.
And no one noticed an outsider had broken in!
It was similar to Ling Zhongwen’s laboratory in the suburbs, but it occupied a larger area and had more instruments.
The people used in the experiments were either naked and tied to metal beds, or placed in glass tubes filled with unknown liquids, with various instruments inserted into them.
Although they still had vital signs, they were devoid of life, essentially no different from the dead.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a beard hurried over and sternly questioned, “What are these two people for?”
“These are what the Lord asked us to send to you. The Lord said to finish by sunset. One is Ji Wenbo, and the other is his bodyguard,” the person who delivered them said respectfully.
It seemed this guy was the mastermind behind Zheng Changdong’s laboratory!
Xia Chenge surveyed the laboratory. This laboratory was as large as the Imperial Palace’s grounds.
Moreover, there were many people in this laboratory, and they were equipped with quite a few thugs responsible for security, patrolling the laboratory back and forth.
“Aren’t you afraid?” The bearded man suddenly looked at the bodyguard, who was suspected to be Ji Yanmo.
“Why should I be afraid?” he calmly retorted.
At this, Xia Chenge was now completely certain that this person was not suspected to be Ji Yanmo; he was Ji Yanmo!
It seemed Zheng Changdong didn’t know that the trap he dug not only failed to make Ji Wenbo and his son fall into it but instead trapped himself!
Ji Wenbo and his son were clearly prepared…
She had originally planned to make a move when Zheng Changdong’s men acted, but now it seemed unnecessary for the time being.
Xia Chenge was happy to hide in a corner and watch the show.
Perhaps Ji Yanmo’s calm reaction made the bearded man suspicious. He observed Ji Yanmo closely for a long time. After finding nothing unusual about Ji Yanmo, he became inexplicably excited: “Take them inside, I’ll do it myself.”
At the same time, a woman walked over and whispered to the bearded man, “01, the data over there is a bit abnormal. Please go and take a look.”
The bearded man directly refused, “Let 03 go take a look. I don’t have time now.”
Then, Ji Wenbo and his son were taken to a small room inside.
Knowing they would be fine, Xia Chenge rushed towards the area the woman had mentioned.
She saw that the person tied to the iron bed was rapidly decaying at a visible rate, revealing bare bones. The person writhed in agony on the bed, and the flesh around their restraints was a bloody mess due to their struggles, both terrifying and disgusting.
Damn it! This scene made Xia Chenge furious. She raised her hand and shot out fragments of a test tube she had casually picked up and crushed. In an instant, they pierced the person’s temples, ending their life and granting them complete release.
“The person is dead.” The person in charge of recording, seeing that he was no longer moving, conducted a routine check and declared his fate as a matter of course.
Then, the two assistants beside him immediately stepped forward and carried away the half-human, half-skeleton corpse.
“Next,” the person said without looking up, continuing the experiment as if the deceased were not a person but a lab rat.
Xia Chenge was furious, unable to tolerate their disregard for life.
Just as she was about to act, there was a sudden disturbance in the small laboratory 1503 where Ji Wenbo and his son were held.
Xia Chenge looked up at the closed door of 1503 and heard the conversation between Ji Yanmo and Ji Wenbo.
This father and son were indeed prepared!
Then, Xia Chenge heard the sound of keyboard typing: Ji Yanmo was hacking into the laboratory’s computers!
A few minutes later, all the laboratory computers were hacked, and angry shouts echoed endlessly:
“What happened? Why aren’t the computers working?”
“Mine isn’t working either.”
“Where is 09? Hurry up and come see what’s wrong with these computers!”
“Ah, my data!”
…
“Quick, go see if something’s wrong with 01’s side!” At this point, someone belatedly remembered the situation in 1503.
Xia Chenge seized the chaos and flashed to a corner computer that no one was using. Upon opening it, she discovered the main unit had been restarted, data destroyed… even the distress signal had been cut off, and the door opening system had been tampered with.
This place had become Ji Yanmo’s territory. No one could leave here except Ji Yanmo, and Zheng Changdong could not obtain any information related to the laboratory.
Ji Yanmo’s hacker technology is truly impressive! Xia Chenge praised him sincerely.
Some of the laboratory personnel rushed to the door of the small laboratory 1503, while others frantically tried to recover data. Xia Chenge subtly interfered again, making it impossible for them to even turn on their computers.
Meanwhile, those who wanted to rush into 1503 were the first to be taken down by Ji Wenbo and his son.
Subsequently, the father and son cooperated seamlessly, taking down the remaining personnel.
Xia Chenge did not intervene, hiding to the side and admiring the heroic bearing of the father and son.
Half an hour later, all of Zheng Changdong’s men in the laboratory were lying on the ground, while the father and son leaned against each other, calmly counting the number of people they had incapacitated.
The people on the ground looked at Ji Wenbo and his son in terror, overwhelmed by fear.
However, Ji Yanmo, with a blank expression, acted again, personally breaking the limbs of those whose limbs were still intact.
Sharp screams echoed in the laboratory. Xia Chenge was surprised to find that the people who had become numb from torture, upon hearing these screams, actually began to show a spark of life in their eyes, a long-lost will to survive: “Save me…”
But their voices were too faint, drowned out by the screams, and were not discovered by Ji Yanmo and the others.
Xia Chenge still remained silent, wanting to see how Ji Yanmo would handle these people who had been experimented on.
Upon sensing their pleas for help, Ji Yanmo’s first action was to take a headcount. Then, he made a decision that made Xia Chenge look at him with new respect: “I will definitely save you all! But whether you can survive depends on your willpower.”
A freshman in their first year of university, able to determine the most correct choice in the shortest amount of time.
Ji Yanmo is not to be underestimated!
