Chapter 111: 47 Heart-Breaking Pills
"I am the messenger of the Lord. You cannot attack me, otherwise the Lord will punish you." Jesus said to Tang Shuo seriously.
Ever since he woke up, he pretended to be calm and composed, but in fact he was already terrified.
This was his first mission to China, originally intending to bring the Lord's glory to this continent and save more people. But who knew it would end just as it began?
Tang Shuo laughed out loud at Jesus's bandit logic, shook his head, and asked, "Then how can you kill others?"
“I didn’t kill them,” Jesus denied. “I just redeemed them.”
Tang Shuo smiled helplessly, flexed his wrist and said, "I think you need to be redeemed too."
Jesus loved saving others, but if this person was him, then it would definitely not work. Jesus immediately shook his head and said, "No, the merciful Lord has already saved me."
"You should know why I didn't kill you." Tang Shuo frowned, staring at Jesus in front of him, and said seriously, "You don't have to play dumb with me. I'm going to ask you two questions, and you'd better answer them honestly, otherwise you might never get the chance to leave this room again."
Jesus no longer dared to play it safe. He was now just prey in someone else's hands, so naturally he wouldn't do anything to resist. He nodded and said, "What's the problem?"
"You know Vulture, what's wrong with him now?" Tang Shuo asked.
Jesus thought for a moment and replied, "The vulture has been gone for a month. I only know that many people are looking for him, and I don't know where he is now."
Tang Shuo frowned and asked, "Who sent you?"
Jesus shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Seeing Tang Shuo's face completely gloomy, Jesus immediately added: "I received a deposit of 10 million US dollars and your information, and then I came to China."
"I asked you two questions, but I'm not satisfied with your answers." Tang Shuo sneered and said regretfully, "I can only say goodbye to you."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, and said to the tall man beside him: "Kill him."
"No, no." When Jesus heard Tang Shuo's words, a look of panic appeared on his face. He hurriedly shouted, "You can't kill me, otherwise the Lord will not forgive you."
His profession is a priest, not a killer, so naturally he has no so-called professional ethics.
In fact, even a real killer will try his best to survive when facing a situation where he is sure to die.
Those rumors about killers preferring death to revealing their employer's information, or committing suicide if their mission fails, are all fabricated by outsiders.
No one is not afraid of death. Does killing enough people mean you can disregard your own life?
However, once a killer fails in a mission, his credibility will plummet, and no one will even come to him in the future.
These punishments are insignificant compared to life.
Of course, there are also many people who are willing to die for their mission, but these people are usually just doing it for fame.
As a pastor, Jesus would naturally not have such an awareness.
When Tang Shuo heard Jesus' words, a conspiratorial smile appeared on his face. He then stopped and turned around and said, "It's okay not to kill you, but you have to help me."
Jesus' eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "No problem."
Tang Shuo then pulled out a red, spherical object from his pocket and said to Jesus, "This is a poison. It's called the Four Seven Heart-Breaking Pill. You probably don't understand Chinese pharmacology, so I'll explain it briefly."
Tang Shuo stepped forward and continued, "In short, if you don't get the antidote within a month after taking this, you will die immediately from myocardial congestion."
Jesus' expression was uncertain. He originally wanted to deceive Tang Shuo first and then wait for an opportunity to leave, but he didn't expect Tang Shuo to come up with such a trick.
Just as he was about to ask, Tang Shuo in front of him suddenly punched him in the stomach, and he instinctively opened his mouth.
Tang Shuo immediately threw what he was holding into Jesus' mouth.
Gulp...
Caught off guard, Jesus swallowed it directly into his stomach.
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Tang Shuo smiled and said to Jesus, "You have to remember. From now on, you must wait a full month before taking the antidote, otherwise the antidote will turn into poison. This medicine is extracted from Chinese traditional medicine. I can guarantee that no country in the world can make an antidote, and even the testing can't detect it, so there's no need for you to play any tricks."
Jesus swallowed his saliva, as if he had not yet come to his senses, staring at Tang Shuo.
Tang Shuo smiled and said to the tall man beside him, "Let him go."
The tall man immediately loosened the ropes and handcuffs on Jesus.
Jesus stood up, looked at Tang Shuo with suspicion and asked, "Have I been poisoned?"
It is no wonder that Jesus was suspicious, because he did not feel any discomfort in his body and there was no sign of poisoning at all.
"Of course, if you behave well, I will give you the antidote in a month." Tang Shuo said to Jesus, "Now follow me."
After saying that, he walked out of the room. Jesus frowned, sighed, and followed him.
He had been very fond of Chinese culture and had studied it for a period of time. It was also during that time that he learned Chinese.
He also knew something about Chinese Traditional Medicine, and was amazed at how Chinese medicine could cure diseases using leaves, grass roots, and acupuncture.
Although he still had some doubts at this time about whether he was poisoned, he had already believed Tang Shuo a little. This country was really too big, and perhaps such a thing really existed.
Tang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the room. Of course, everything that had just happened was just a lie. Fortunately, this Jesus seemed to have been fooled.
There might be medicines in the world with similar effects to what he just described, but where could he get them in such a short time?
What he threw into Jesus' mouth was just a piece of candy.
There was soy milk at breakfast. After taking a sip, Tang Shuo frowned in discomfort. The short-haired man who took him to dinner gave him two candies.
Tang Shuo had already eaten one and put the remaining one into his pocket.
Just now when he was communicating with Jesus, he suddenly thought that this guy might be able to be used temporarily, so he came up with this idea.
He was taking a risk, but a gunless Jesus was like a toothless tiger, so Tang Shuo naturally didn't take it seriously. If the other party did something strange, he would just kill him. But if the other party was sincere in doing things for him, having this Jesus around would be a great help.
So he still made money.
Jesus took two quick steps and caught up with Tang Shuo and said, "Tang, can you give me a set of clothes?"
Tang Shuo glanced back and said to the tall man who followed him, "Give him back his clothes."
The tall man nodded and then took Jesus to put on his clothes.
Tang Shuo walked to the entrance of the basement, looked at Wu Gang who was reading a newspaper and said, "It seems that you have successfully quit drugs."
Wu Gang put down the newspaper, nodded to Tang Shuo and said, "Thank you."
His "thank you" to Tang Shuo was completely from the heart. He was very grateful to the man who saved him and his daughter.
After quitting drugs, every time he recalled what happened in the Rich Entertainment City, it became a nightmare for him.
Another reason why he stayed here after successfully quitting drugs was that he felt he was too ashamed to see his daughter again!
"Is that all you're telling me?" Tang Shuo walked over to Wu Gang and sat down next to him. "I heard you used to be the CEO of Runde Industrial."
Wu Gang raised his thick eyebrows, then relaxed and replied, "That's all in the past."
"I can give you a starting point." Tang Shuo said calmly, "Give you a chance to rise again."
Judging from the fact that Wu Gang was still paying attention to financial newspapers at this time, he actually had not wasted much time over the years. At least his heart was still in the business world. This also gave Tang Shuo more confidence in Wu Gang.
The muscles on Wu Gang's cheeks twitched, and then he shook his head and said, "Those are all things of the past. I'm no longer interested."
He did not doubt whether Tang Shuo had the ability to give him a starting point. Judging from the various signs shown by Tang Shuo, Tang Shuo was not a person who boasted.
But he had already become disheartened and had no intention of getting involved in the business world.
