Lin Yuntao has performed many surgeries, but he has never personally experienced the pain of patients.
And now, for the first time, he truly understands what it means to have "ten fingers connected to the heart"!
A sharp, bone-deep pain surged into my mind and shot straight to the top of my head.
In a short moment, cold sweat caused by the pain soaked through my entire body.
Fortunately, the special glass became extremely soundproof after it became blurry, and the people outside didn't hear anything.
"You madman, you bastard! Let me go! When I get out of here, I'll report you for vigilante justice!"
Although Lin Yuntao was pale, his voice was full of energy.
She yelled and tried to pry Liu Kai's hands off her.
Liu Kai scoffed at his words: "Sue me?"
"Come, come, General Shen Shiwei, the commander of the Eastern Theater Command, is right here. Tell me what you want to say?"
Following the direction Liu Kai pointed, Lin Yuntao looked at Shen Shiwei, who stood to the side with an indifferent expression.
My heart sank.
These two are clearly in cahoots; no matter how much you complain, it's useless!
Shen Shiwei also spoke up at the opportune moment: "Just confess, you're not suited to be a tough guy."
His tone was calm and even.
Yet it reveals a sense of vicissitudes from having seen countless people, as well as an unyielding and resolute tone.
One sentence summed up Lin Yuntao's character: he was not suited to be the kind of tough guy who resisted to the end, and he should confess early to avoid physical suffering.
Lin Yuntao clearly sensed disdain in Shen Shiwei's words.
A surge of anger welled up inside him: I'm not suited to be a tough guy? I'll show you I'm tough!
However...
"ah!!!"
Liu Kai pulled off Lin Yuntao's index fingernail again.
A sharp, piercing pain struck.
The little bit of backbone he had managed to muster was instantly shattered.
Seeing that Liu Kai showed no sign of stopping, she then set her sights on the nail of his middle finger.
Lin Yuntao panicked: Screw the tough guy, let whoever wants to be one be one!
"Stop! Don't...don't pull it out, please don't pull it out...I'll confess!"
Snot and tears mingled together on his contorted, pained face, indistinguishable from one another.
He looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from his earlier arrogance.
Shen Shiwei was right; he wasn't suited to be a tough guy.
It seems these "destined" families have truly run out of options and are facing a critical moment of life and death.
They actually sent such a spineless coward who couldn't withstand torture to be an undercover agent!
Liu Kai stopped what he was doing and released Lin Yuntao's wrist.
Looking at the man curled up on the ground like a dead dog, clutching his hand, he laughed: "That's right, cooperate properly."
It took Lin Yuntao a while to recover.
He managed to get up from the ground and stand up, his face still pale and covered in cold sweat.
The way he looked at Liu Kai and Shen Shiwei was timid and hesitant, clearly because he was afraid of being beaten.
He then sighed resignedly and slowly extended his right hand, from which two fingernails had been removed, in front of the two people.
Lin Yuntao's eyes were fixed on the wound.
Liu Kai suddenly sensed that the surrounding space seemed to tremble almost imperceptibly.
Immediately afterwards, an energy undetectable to the naked eye inexplicably seeped out from the space.
A pale green light immediately enveloped Lin Yuntao's wound.
The finger, which had been mangled and bloody from having its nails pulled out, began to twitch slightly.
Although no new nail grew out immediately, the bleeding stopped quickly.
Even Liu Kai, whose body had been strengthened multiple times, was ashamed of his recovery speed.
The green light dissipated, and Lin Yuntao lowered his right hand.
He looked at Liu Kai and Shen Shiwei with complicated expressions.
"You guessed right, I am indeed a member of the Crassus family."
His words were filled with melancholy and admiration.
Now that I've calmed down, I can guess where I slipped up.
After all, he hadn't expected that these two people would know about the "Destiny" family.
All the mistakes can be attributed to information asymmetry, or rather, his own arrogance.
Seeing Lin Yuntao admit his identity, Liu Kai still frowned: "I wasn't just guessing your identity, get to the point!"
Lin Yuntao couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.
"I have to admit, Consultant Liu is indeed very smart."
"That's right, the rampage of the berserkers was not due to complex technical reasons, but rather to the deliberate release of a virus."
Now, Liu Kai didn't need to say anything more.
Although the berserkers are still no match for guns and cannons, they have the advantage of being elusive, especially at sea.
Shen Shiwei recalled how many young soldiers under his command had died at the hands of beasts.
A chilling glint appeared on his usually placid face as he gritted his teeth and said, "So, it really is you!"
"Speak."
"Where was the virus released? Who are the moles involved? Do you have an effective vaccine for the virus?"
Lin Yuntao was not surprised at all when he heard the series of questions.
He simply picked up the paper and pen on the table and began to write.
As he wrote, he sighed, "I don't actually know much, after all, I'm just an outsider to the Crassus family."
Liu Kai raised an eyebrow: "Outside the periphery, are you sure?!"
At this point, Lin Yuntao's psychological defenses had already collapsed, and he didn't care at all about revealing the secrets of the family he had never met.
Compared to the promising future his family had promised him, saving his life was more important right now.
After all, judging from Shen Shiwei's appearance, although he was quite angry, he didn't seem to intend to kill him.
Perhaps it still has some use; at least its healing abilities are worth studying in depth.
So he told her everything: "Advisor Liu, I really didn't lie to you."
