In less than a minute, her figure transformed from a short nurse into a tall woman.
This scene left Chen Wenhao dumbfounded. In his understanding, he couldn't imagine why the short woman had suddenly become tall and strong.
Moreover, her appearance has changed; she is no longer the nurse on duty.
The woman struggled to pull the chopsticks off her body, but as soon as she moved, her legs suddenly gave way and she collapsed to her knees with a thud.
As Ye Xingchen pulled out the chopsticks, he also added poison. He might not be as good as the masters of Futu Mountain when it came to poison, but it was still a piece of cake for a small fry.
“You…” The woman raised her head, her face full of malice. She raised her injured hand, which was covered in bluish-gray. Her expression changed drastically. “Hua Yueqing, how could you use the poison from our Futu Mountain?”
"Didn't you put this poison in our food?" Ye Xingchen sneered. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—don't you understand such a simple principle?"
Hua Jianqing is a poison extracted from several poisonous herbs. When Chen Wenhao was buying a lunchbox, this woman followed him and poisoned him. Ye Xingchen easily extracted the poison from the food and returned it to her using chopsticks.
The woman's expression changed drastically. She stared at Ye Xingchen with hatred, her eyes flashing with venom, her gaze like that of a poisonous snake.
"You have half an incense stick's time left. Go back and tell Bai Wei that I'm determined to destroy the Liang family. I have no grudge against Futu Mountain and don't want to create a formidable enemy for myself. But if Futu Mountain continues to be obstinate, then I'm sorry, even the Heavenly King himself can't change my mind," Ye Xingchen said coldly.
The woman glared at Ye Xingchen hatefully, then got up, leaped up, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.
Chaos erupted at the hospital's nurses' station as someone cried out, "Head Nurse, Xiao Li is dying!"
"Quickly notify the emergency room and prepare for resuscitation..."
The nurses' station was in chaos. Then a short nurse was pushed out and rushed to the emergency room.
This nurse is actually the nurse in charge of Liu Xiang's ward. She was knocked down by the female assassin from Futu Mountain and then used her shrinking technique to impersonate her.
The body shape of the person using the Bone Shrinking Technique is almost a one-to-one imitation, and with the addition of a mask, most people simply cannot tell the difference.
Ye Xingchen sighed. The nurse was poisoned. Given the ruthlessness of the people from Futu Mountain, this nurse who was being impersonated probably couldn't be saved.
"Brother-in-law...that woman just now..." Chen Wenhao finally snapped out of his shock.
If it weren't for the bloodstains on the wall, he probably would have thought what had just happened was a dream.
That's a miraculous transformation! How did that assassin manage to do that?
“An assassin from an organization, skilled in poison. The assassin just now used a bone-shrinking technique to shrink her bones and shave her face, making her look similar to that nurse on duty,” Ye Xingchen said. “It’s fortunate that I came today, because the Liang family has already started making their move.”
"Is this the legendary martial arts? It's terrifying." Chen Wenhao muttered to himself. Before he met Ye Xingchen, he was at most a rich second-generation who would show off and lead a group of henchmen to bully people.
He had never encountered such people in the martial arts world before. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed that such a miraculous skill existed in the world.
"Isn't it incredible?" Ye Xingchen said, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. If you get involved in the conflict, something even more amazing is waiting for you."
"Brother-in-law, is it too late for me to back out now?" Chen Wenhao said awkwardly.
"Too late, the Liang family has their eyes on you." Ye Xingchen spread his hands.
"What should we do then?" Chen Wenhao asked with a mournful face.
"Once the Liang family is dealt with, the Chen family will take their place," Ye Xingchen said.
"Is that okay?" Chen Wenhao suddenly raised his head, Ye Xingchen's words shocked him.
Jinling... but the Liang family is powerful. Although the Chen family is not bad, they are far inferior to the Liang family. To replace them was something he never dared to think about before. But when Ye Xingchen said it, it sounded so casual. Was he serious?
"Of course I know Jinling's surname is Liang, so what? Even emperors in ancient times could take turns, let alone a powerful family?" Ye Xingchen laughed: "In my eyes, I won't allow such a powerful existence. Don't worry about anything, I'll take care of everything."
“Okay…” Chen Wenhao gritted his teeth and made up his mind: “I believe you.”
"It's no use if you believe me, it's your family who has to believe me." Ye Xingchen glanced at him: "Kid, you better watch out. The Liang family has their eyes on you. Some of their secrets have been leaked, and now they're like mad dogs, biting people like crazy."
"Okay, okay... I understand." Chen Wenhao nodded heavily. At this moment, he seemed to have grown up, and he also felt the heavy burden on his shoulders.
Finally, it was midnight.
Ye Xingchen led the old man and the young man to the rooftop.
"How do you plan to retrieve Xiao Xiang's soul and spirit?" Chen Wenhao asked, turning his head.
"I told you, I have connections, don't you believe me?" Ye Xingchen glanced at the guy.
"Stop messing around, do you have relatives down there?" Chen Wenhao felt that Ye Xingchen was teasing him.
"I'm not making a fuss. The people below aren't relatives, they're my underlings." Ye Xingchen took the opportunity to show off.
"Fine, fine, you're awesome. Call out your underlings and let us see what you're made of." Chen Wenhao laughed in exasperation, nodding repeatedly. He couldn't believe Ye Xingchen was so awesome.
"Well... they've already arrived, haven't they?" Ye Xingchen's smile gradually widened.
"They're here?" Chen Wenhao turned his head in surprise. He looked around for a long time but didn't see anyone. He said angrily, "Where did you come from? Are you kidding me?"
“Look behind you. Turn around and look.” Ye Xingchen pointed behind Chen Wenhao.
"Don't brag. Behind me? There's no one behind me!" Chen Wenhao said, turning around to look behind him.
The moment he turned around, he felt a jolt on his scalp and was completely stunned.
Suddenly, a heavily armored ghost warrior appeared behind him, over ten feet tall and wielding a spear.
He had no eyes; instead, there were two crimson hues that flickered up and down in the night like will-o'-the-wisps.
In addition, the chilling aura emanating from the Netherworld further intensified the sense of dread that rose from the heart.
This is not fear; it is a terror a thousand times more terrifying than fear itself.
"Ah..." Chen Wenhao's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
