Doctor Li had long ago known that the newly appointed emperor was a gloomy and unpredictable person. Now that he had been caught by him, he was even more terrified!
Cold sweat began to drip down from his forehead, and even his palms were covered in sweat.
“Your Highness, I don’t know anything about what CHK Virus No.3. You should find someone else.”
Jiang Xuecheng glanced sideways at Doctor Li. His handsome features were taut, and his aura was like that of a god.
“You say you don’t know? Why is it that when I got someone to investigate the names on the list, Doctor Lin told me that you were involved in the development of the CHK virus as well?”
The sweat on Doctor Li’s face began to drip down faster and faster. Hearing Doctor Lin’s name, he cursed in his heart that the other party’s mouth was too loose!
At this moment, Doctor Li had completely forgotten that if he hadn’t given up more than half of the name of the laboratory, Jiang Xuecheng wouldn’t have been able to find someone to counter him so quickly.
Doctor Li raised his head, and his body continuously trembled like a sieve.
He fearfully met Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze, and his voice stuttered a little.
“Your Highness, I really don’t know about the CHK Virus No.3. Back then, I only participated in the experiment of the CHK Virus No.1, and then I was sent to study other things.”
Jiang Xuecheng looked down at Doctor Li from above. His voice was steady and calm, like the deep lake water under the night sky, but also gave off a somewhat strange aura.
“Do you think I’ll believe you?”
Jiang Xuecheng snorted coldly. His eyes were as sharp as knives.
“Back then, you said that the high priest wanted to research how to live a long life. Why do I feel like all of you are researching how to kill people and set fires? Why are so many of the slaves bought by the God’s Palace every year missing?”
“Doctor Li, why don’t you tell me how many people you killed during your experiments?”
Doctor Li didn’t expect that Jiang Xuecheng would investigate so quickly!
As if he was in shock, his pale lips trembled and he suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Xuecheng.
“Your Highness, I really didn’t lie to you! My hands are indeed dirty and stained with other people’s blood, but I really don’t understand the CHK Virus No.3 at all.”
Doctor Li seemed to be afraid that Jiang Xuecheng wouldn’t believe him, so his tone became much faster.
“Your Highness, the first generation CHK poison is actually not very useful. It is completely different from number three’s formula. If you want me to tell you whether number three’s formula is true or false, how can I answer?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was cold. He took a deep breath and his voice was loud and clear.
“If you don’t know, then there must be someone who knows, right? Where are your colleagues?”
Doctor Li’s face was full of tears. The muscles on his face were trembling, and there was an unconcealable fear.
“The only person I know who studies this was sent back to his hometown by the High Priest last month. However, before the flight arrived, something happened, and he was gone just like that!”
In this line of work, they had long expected that the amount of money and glory would be the same as the amount of potential danger.
Whether the accident on that flight was an accident or a coincidence, Doctor Li really did not know.
But Doctor Li understood that he could not take too many chances.
If it was not an accident, then the person behind it might have even be the high priest.
Therefore, after Doctor Li had earned enough money in recent years, he realized the threat and became more and more marginalized.
He did not participate in any major projects. Then, he was assigned to a small position at the laboratory and did some menial work.
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, his cold face was filled with rage!
The only person who knew the inside story died just like that?!
Did the high priest do it?!
Good, very good. The high priest really cut off all his escape routes!
A strong killing intent flashed in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes.
Doctor Li saw Jiang Xuecheng’s slightly twisted handsome face and was so scared that he almost cried out. He held onto the sofa beside him in a panic and his body trembled.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Doctor Li’s terrified look, his anger rushed to the top of his head.
“Your Highness, don’t be angry, please don’t be angry…”
Doctor Li was so scared that he was almost dumbfounded. When he realized that something was wrong, he saw Jiang Xuecheng suddenly pick up a porcelain cup on the table!
Doctor Li shivered. The first thought that came to his mind was not to dodge, but to close his eyes!
“PA –”
With a loud bang, the blue and white porcelain cup fell to the ground!
In an instant, tea splashed in all directions, and porcelain pieces flew all over the ground.
Doctor Li’s eyelids twitched. He opened his eyes shakily and saw that he was not injured at all. A foot away, there was dripping tea and all kinds of blue and white porcelain pieces.
Doctor Li let out a sigh of relief. He was secretly glad that he was lucky, and it was obvious that Jiang Xuecheng still had a trace of reason.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Doctor Li coldly. His expression was fierce, and his handsome face was exuding a cold killing intent.
He was like a cheetah that was eyeing its prey like a tiger. He had the sharpest claws and teeth. As long as he was not careful, he could bite the throat of his prey at any time!
Doctor Li clenched his fists. He felt that his back was drenched in sweat.
Just as Doctor Li was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard the man in front of him speak.
“You said that you know about CHK Virus No.1. Write down its formula and then tell me its medicinal properties.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was low and cold, like a piece of jade falling on the ground, making a cold and crisp sound.
Doctor Li lowered his head nervously and only dared to observe Jiang Xuecheng’s expression from the corner of his eye.
“Your Highness, I know that CHK Virus No.1 can numb people’s nerves. It is a kind of quick-acting medicine, but it is not fatal. It can cause the human body’s functions to gradually deteriorate.”
“And since the third poison has been lurking for a month and a half, I’m afraid that if this goes on, Miss Su will become a cripple…”
Doctor Li saw the expression on Jiang Xuecheng’s face and did not dare to continue.
Cripple?
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes were cold, but there was a sore pain in his throat.
Doctor Li talked for a long time about the matter of CHK Virus No.1. At the end, he suddenly realized something.
Doctor Li looked at Jiang Xuecheng hesitantly.
“Your Highness, the nemesis of CHK Virus No.1 is Dragon’s Blood. If you are really afraid, why don’t you try feeding Miss Su your blood?”
Jiang Xuecheng was slightly startled, but he restrained himself and nodded.
“Okay, I’ll go back and try it.”
Jiang Xuecheng had checked the medicine that the high priest had sent to alleviate the poison.
His trusted confidant had extracted the ingredients and confirmed that they were not harmful to the human body when added up.
After all, it was not a medicine that could cure the CHK Virus No.3. Moreover, the high priest wanted to use Su Wan to pin him down. Jiang Xuecheng also understood that the high priest would not take Su Wan’s life so quickly.
Would his blood be useful as well?
Jiang Xuecheng fell into hesitation. However, as long as it could cure Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng was willing to try any method!
After giving some instructions to Doctor Li, Jiang Xuecheng slowly walked to Su Wan’s room.
Jiang Xuecheng knocked on the door twice. Unexpectedly, no one opened it.
Was Su Wan not in?
