Jiang Dong smirked, "Very well, I told you, if you lie, you're finished. Apply the medicine!"

"No...no...I'll tell you, okay? No...no..."

Jiang Dong ignored him and had his bodyguard administer the drug directly.

The drug took effect quickly, and the drunk man began to wail in pain again.

Jiang Dong stood up and said, "Let him suffer for at least half an hour before we talk."

The bodyguard nodded. "Okay, I'll keep watch here."

Jiang Dong went to the next room, where Huo Shiqian was watching the live surveillance footage, and Zhan Jingting and Qiao Wanwan were also watching online.

"Master Zhan," Jiang Dong nodded respectfully to the person on the computer screen, "this guy is dishonest."

Huo Shiqian said, "The previous questions were all insignificant, so we could naturally tell the truth. Now that it involves the mastermind behind the scenes, it's understandable that he's lying. After all, that so-called boss is no pushover, and they all know that betraying him will not end well."

"So what should we do now?"

Zhan Jingting on the other end of the video said, "Without a strong will, one cannot withstand Wanwan's medicine. He has already given up resisting, and he will definitely give up again. When he can't take it anymore, he will naturally tell the truth."

"Okay, then I'll wait a bit longer."

Zhan Jingting added, "The other person's willpower is obviously stronger than his. Even though he was in so much pain that he fainted, he still gritted his teeth. But I can tell that he was just weighing the pros and cons and didn't trust us at all. He felt that as long as he told the truth, we would kill him."

“Take him to another room, wake him up, and continue the interrogation. If he still refuses to talk, bring Ah Cai here. Once he trusts us, he will naturally start talking.”

"I understand, I'll make the arrangements right away."

Jiang Dong ordered his men to carry the unconscious pharmaceutical worker to another room, where a basin of ice water was poured over him, and he woke up with a start.

"Ah!" the pharmaceutical man cried out in alarm, the pain and itching surging through his body again, tormenting him to the point of wishing he were dead. "Ah—kill me! Kill me if you dare! Ah—"

"Want to die? Not so easy." Jiang Dong said with a sneer, "You've got some backbone, unlike that guy who loves to drink, who confessed immediately after being tortured for a while."

"He's never had any backbone to begin with, so it's not surprising that he confessed!"

“You came in together, so his confession is the same as your confession. So even if I release you now, your boss will kill you immediately to vent his anger.”

The pharmaceutical man sneered, "You're not going to let me go, so stop talking nonsense. I'm going to die anyway, so I won't waste my breath betraying my boss."

“I gave you a way to live, but you didn’t take it. You chose to die, and you chose the most painful way to die,” Jiang Dong said. “Such a stupid person is rare these days.”

"Enough with the nonsense! Kill me if you dare!"

"I'm curious, you clearly had a way out, so why did you choose to die?" Jiang Dong smiled. "Your accomplices are much smarter than you. They're eating and drinking well here. Once our Master Zhan kills your boss, he'll be free again."

The pharmaceutical worker frowned. "Accomplices? Which accomplices?"

Jiang Dong said, "Come in."

The door opened, and a bodyguard led a man in.

"Ah Cai?" the pharmaceutical man exclaimed in shock, "You're not dead?"

He suddenly realized, "The video I just saw was fake! Brother He didn't come to kill you at all!"

“No,” Ah Cai said calmly. “What you saw is true. Brother He came and shot me with his own hands. But Zhan Jingting was prepared and put a bulletproof vest on me.”

The pharmaceutical engineer frowned. "So it really is true..."

“I didn’t utter a single word, but he didn’t give me a chance to kill me.” Ah Cai smiled bitterly. “He was ruthless first, so he can’t blame me for being unjust. That’s why I told them everything I knew.”

The pharmaceutical man asked, "And what about you now?"

“Qiao Wanwan promised me that as long as I tell the whole truth, she will save my life and set me free afterward. This is my only way out,” A-Cai said. “So I advise you not to struggle in vain. Cooperating with Zhan Jingting is the best choice, otherwise you will only face death. It’s not so bad if you die, but he will only make you wish you were dead.”

The pharmaceutical man seemed thoughtful. "Why do you think that Qiao Wanwan will keep her word and let us go instead of killing us?"

“Although I only agreed to Qiao Wanwan’s offer because I had no other choice, for some reason, my intuition tells me that I can trust her,” A-Cai said. “At least I believe that if she were the boss, she would only come to save me, not to kill me.”

The pharmaceutical worker gave a bitter smile. "We've been bad guys for too long, and it's hard for us to believe in the goodness of humanity anymore. But you're right about one thing: I really have no choice. Getting out of here alive now is a dead end. Rather than that, I might as well suffer less. Regardless of whether Qiao Wanwan keeps her word in the future, at least I can suffer less now."

The pharmaceutical man looked at Jiang Dong and said, "I agree to cooperate with you and tell you everything I know."

The bodyguard quickly administered the antidote, and after he was put on a lie detector test, Jiang Dong immediately asked, "How did you learn to make drugs?"

“I’m an orphan. I was adopted by an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor when I was young. I learned medicine from him. I seem very lucky, but no one knows what kind of life I’ve led.” A cold hatred flashed in the eyes of the pharmaceutical man. “He is wicked. He likes to study poisons and even secretly used me as a human experiment.”

"So you've also been researching poisons?"

"That's right. Since he was so fond of studying poisons, of course I wanted him to die from poison. So, after I learned how to make poisons, and even surpassed my master, I put a colorless and odorless poison in his tea, letting him die silently." The pharmaceutical man smirked. "Of course, everyone thought he died of an accident. No one suspected me, and no one knew that we both liked studying poisons. Everyone thought we were good people who healed the sick and saved lives..."

Jiang Dong continued, "Your boss kidnapped our Master Zhan and poisoned him before. You were involved, weren't you?"

“Yes.” The pharmaceutical man admitted, “The boss has put in a lot of effort to deal with Zhan Jingting. As you said, I only participated. He also found a lot of other people to study poisons together because he knows that Qiao Wanwan is a miracle doctor with superhuman skills, and ordinary poisons can be easily cured by her.”

"Are you considered a core member of your HR team?"

"I don't think so." The pharmaceutical man smiled faintly. "Although I have my own strengths, I haven't been with Ah Cai for as long as he has, and I don't know as much as he does. Actually, the boss might not send anyone to kill me. It's just that I'm too tired these past few years and want to rest. Rather than running away from here and following him around, I'd rather lie down here. I hope you can catch the boss soon and give me my freedom."

Have you ever seen his true face?
