"You bastard, you dare to bite back? I'll beat you to death, you piece of trash!"

Lu Chuan's eyes blazed with fury, his clenched fist bulging with veins. He slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and kicked the restaurant owner, who instinctively raised his chair to block!

With a loud crash, the chair was kicked into pieces!

Enraged by this, the boss immediately grabbed a chair and started fighting with Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan calmly dodged the chair in his hand and kicked the boss to the floor!

He grabbed the boss's hands with his backhand, pressed him to the ground and rubbed him against the floor, then slapped his greasy, pig-like face repeatedly!

The restaurant owner, now frightened, begged Lu Chuan for mercy.

"Please stop hitting me! I'll never do it again!"

"Please, please spare me! I was blind and misplaced the spices. I didn't mean it!"

"My worthless life isn't worth dirtying my hands. Our shop has plenty of money; I can offer you all money as an apology!"

Lu Chuan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he grabbed a rag and stuffed it into the restaurant owner's mouth. The restaurant owner gagged from the grease and unpleasant smell on the rag and rolled his eyes several times before he got used to it.

Lu Chuan pulled out his boss's belt, tied his hands together, and arrogantly gave him orders.

"Now our young master will ask you questions. Nod if you're right, shake your head if you're wrong, understand?"

The restaurant owner lay on the floor, twisting his fat body and nodding frantically, afraid that Lu Chuan might start fighting again at the slightest provocation!

Fu Yanzhu looked at the boss lying on the ground like a god looking down on all living beings, and spoke coldly.

"You know Xiao Yan?"

The restaurant owner froze for a moment, a look of terror flashing in his eyes, then shook his head frantically!

Fu Yanzhu was not annoyed. He slowly took out the scalpel and twirled it in his hand. A silver light flashed as it passed by, bursting out with a dangerous gleam.

"Not telling the truth could cost you your life!"

"This scalpel of mine is the sharpest in the world. Which part should I start cutting from?"

"Should we remove the kidneys, liver, or reproductive organs first?"

Every time Fu Yanzhu spoke, her gaze would fall on the relevant parts of the boss's body, making the boss's scalp tingle!

He shook his head frantically in terror, dragging his heavy, obese body as he slid backward across the floor!

Fu Yanzhu moved forward step by step, each step touching his heart, like an incomparably handsome messenger from hell!

"I forgot to tell you, Xiao Yan is my teacher!"

Upon hearing this, the restaurant owner's pupils constricted, his entire body trembled violently, and sweat dripped down his face.

"Waaaaah..."

The restaurant owner wanted to say something, but his mouth was covered by a rag, so he could only nod frantically!

Fu Yanzhu stopped and stood in the shadows, making it impossible to see her expression.

"You mean you know Xiao Yan!"

The boss nodded frantically, sobbing, as if afraid Fu Yanzhu wouldn't see his answer.

"Take us to see him?!"

The boss continued to nod, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance!

Fu Yanzhu curled her lips into a cold smile.

"very good!"

Lu Chuan kicked the restaurant owner in the butt and cursed.

"Get up and lead the way!"

As the group left the restaurant, the proprietress, who had been secretly watching from the back kitchen, saw a glint of madness flash in her eyes as they departed!

Guided by the boss, the group arrived at a desolate village. It was desolate because it seemed to be an abandoned village.

There wasn't a single person in the village, and although the houses looked fine, they were covered in dust!

The restaurant owner pointed to the largest house in the village and said, trembling, "That's where Xiao Yan lives!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Chuan punched him, knocking him unconscious!

Fu Yanzhu looked at the courtyard built of red bricks in front of her and gave instructions softly.

"Everyone be careful, there's an ambush inside!"

Su Manman frowned in confusion, "How did you know there was an ambush?!"

Fu Yanzhu took her hand and smiled coldly, but said nothing.

The gate to the courtyard was ajar; it opened with a gentle push.

The iron gate creaked, startling the animals kept in a enclosure, and soon a complex cacophony of roars echoed through the yard.

The group stopped and looked around, discovering that the sound was coming from the house on the right.

They stood in the courtyard for a while, and when no one came out, they all turned their attention to the main room in the middle.

Lu Chuan leaned close to Fu Yanzhu and whispered something.

"Young master, in the village, people usually sleep in the side room of the main room, but I don't know which one?"

Fu Yanzhu lowered her eyes, making it impossible to read her expression.

"Let's go in!"

The room was dark. Lu Chuan went in and wanted to turn on the light, but Fu Yanzhu stopped him.

"Don't move! Anything in here could be a trap!"

Just then, the room lights came on simultaneously, a blinding light followed by the sound of metal latches closing.

The group all closed their eyes to avoid the glaring light, and only opened them again after their eyes had adjusted!

Outside the door, there was an additional layer of confinement; the gleaming alloy fence shrouded the house in a sturdy cage!

Lu Chuan's forehead veins bulged as he kicked the alloy fence and cursed angrily.

"Damn, that old fox! I thought it would just be an iron cage at most, and I could just be careful inside. I didn't expect him to seal off the whole house!"

Xiao Yan walked out of the right side room with a smile, like a kind elder.

"Long time no see, my little apprentice!"

Fu Yanzhu looked at Xiao Yan with a dark gaze, and slowly opened her clenched hand, revealing a pendant, a jade-carved four-leaf clover!

"You deliberately left this for the restaurant owner, didn't you!"

Xiao Yan nodded, "I'm glad you still remember this pendant. It's a gift you made yourself to become my disciple, and I'm very satisfied!"

Fu Yanzhu grabbed the pendant and threw it violently to the ground, glaring at Xiao Yan with bloodshot eyes.

"Our master-disciple relationship was nothing but a scheme. What is your purpose in showing up here?!"

When Xiao Yan heard Fu Yanzhu ask this question, he became visibly excited and gestured wildly as he spoke.

"Lu Xin has a great research project. It's a very perfect experiment, and he's already more than halfway there. He's just one step away from success. I want to participate in his experiment. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Maybe I can do something for him!"

"Lu Xin has a strong research spirit, but he's not ruthless enough! Since he can't make a decision, I'll help him finish it!"

Everyone was completely confused, not knowing what he was trying to say!

Fu Yanzhu's expression turned even colder as he tentatively asked.

"Is this experiment related to me?"

Xiao Yan first shook his head, then nodded.

"The experiment has nothing to do with you, but I need to borrow something from you!"

Hearing him say that, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they all felt that he was up to no good!

A thin layer of sweat seeped from Su Manman's small hand, which was being held tightly by Fu Yanzhu, and her whole body stiffened.

Fu Yanzhu's cold voice rang out again.

What do you want?

"I'd like to borrow your heart, or perhaps I'll need your brain!"

Xiao Yan smiled nonchalantly, as if he had only borrowed something very ordinary.
