A sudden idea struck me, and I smiled as I pulled out my phone.
Now our phones are back to normal and we even have a signal. I turned on the camera and pointed it at Professor Tan.
"Now, in front of the camera, list all the crimes that you know Zeng, the richest man, committed."
Professor Tan's face turned deathly pale. He waved his hand and said in an almost pleading tone:
"Please, please don't do this. If you release them and send them to the guardian, he'll be furious. Who knows what he'll do to me? If I'm recording this kind of thing, he'll definitely try every way to kill me!"
"Heh, if you don't record, we'll kill you right now!" Luo Tianhe sneered.
Professor Tan, a lackey of the former richest man, has caused the deaths of countless people. Now that it's his turn, he's suddenly afraid.
"Whether you die now or later, I think you'll make the right choice." I looked at him with a smile, not believing he wouldn't cooperate.
Sure enough, he showed a dejected expression, ready to give up entirely.
"Don't despair too much. The richest man in the country doesn't know about these things you recorded. Besides, we will only release this evidence if we are sure we can bring him down. At that time, you can find a chance to run away."
First give them a couple of slaps, then give them a sweet treat.
I think Professor Tan was clearly planning to flee, perhaps wanting to leave this city forever.
This is undoubtedly disadvantageous for us.
If he continues to stay by Zeng Shoufu's side, we can use this leverage to make him one of our own.
Then we'll let Zeng, the richest man in China, experience what it's like to have a traitor in your life.
As the saying goes, old people become shrewd; he saw through my intentions and looked wary.
"You want me to help you deal with Zeng, the richest man?"
"Hehe, you probably haven't killed anyone with your own hands, have you? If so, the situation can still be salvaged. You can atone for your crime by doing good deeds. You don't have to live in fear for the rest of your life."
I said in a low voice.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally recorded the video.
Honestly, if this video were used to accuse an ordinary person, he would be dead eight hundred times over!
However, Zeng, as the richest man in our city, is incredibly powerful and influential. These factors alone are not enough to bring him down.
After all, the city police department had more evidence pointing to his crimes, but he remained at large.
After letting Professor Tan go, we returned to the car. Li Huai was somewhat puzzled:
"Old man, aren't you afraid he'll sell us out again? After all, he's already done it once."
"Hehe, don't you know who Zeng, the richest man, is? Given his personality, Professor Tan wouldn't dare to tell the truth, so he can only cooperate with us."
I gave a brief explanation, then glanced at Luo Tianhe.
"Drive to Buwentang. I'm in a very bad state right now, and that kid Li Huai isn't much better off. Let Doctor Sun take a look at us quickly."
Luo Tianhe nodded, turned the key, started the engine, and headed to Buwen Hall.
"It seems we didn't gain anything from this trip; instead, we ended up in a sorry state and covered in injuries."
Li Huai grinned bitterly, his hands still bearing charred wounds from being poisoned by corpses.
He was so tense at the time that he didn't notice, but now that he's suddenly relaxed, he's sweating profusely from the pain.
"It wasn't a complete loss; at least we collected evidence of the former richest man's crimes and recruited an informant."
I began to speak.
There were hardly any people on the road in the middle of the night, and Luo Tianhe drove very fast, running several traffic lights.
After all, both Li Huai and I are in very poor condition right now. We were able to chat for a few minutes at first, but now we're both a bit out of it.
Soon, I heard several loud banging sounds at the door. When I opened my eyes, I found myself at the entrance of Buwen Hall.
"Dr. Sun, open the door quickly! Your apprentice is dying!"
I looked at Li Huai, who had also woken up, a bitter smile on his face:
"Brother Luo is talking nonsense, isn't that cursing me!"
"Alright, alright, stop banging on him, that little brat is dead, I'll just pretend I never had such a disciple!"
The sound of Dr. Sun cursing came from inside the house.
Although he said that, there was a clear rustling sound coming from inside, which meant he was getting dressed.
A moment later, Dr. Sun opened the door, and I forced myself to sit up and pulled Li Huai towards the car.
At this moment, Li Huai's face turned pale, and the wounds on his hands, corroded by the corpse poison, had spread, emitting a faint stench of decay.
"Master, I..."
Li Huai opened his mouth to say something, but Doctor Sun immediately launched into a tirade:
"You brat, if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job! How did you end up in this mess again? You must have a death wish!"
Li Huai immediately shrank his neck and gave an awkward laugh.
After scolding Li Huai, Dr. Sun looked at me again, his brows furrowed:
What happened to your arm?
I forced a smile that looked more like a grimace:
"I was attacked by the yin energy and I'm numb now."
"What are you all doing, stirring up a hornet's nest again? You keep knocking on my door late at night. Alright, come inside!"
Dr. Sun snorted, turned and walked into the house, and we quickly followed.
"I can still hold on, please take a look at Li Huai first."
As I walked into the room, I said, "Li Huai's condition is much worse than mine."
Dr. Sun, with a dark expression, pointed to the hospital bed, gesturing for Li Huai to lie down.
Li Huai obediently lay down and stretched out his swollen, dark purple hand.
Dr. Sun first took a closer look, then gently pressed the edges of the wound a few times with his fingers, causing Li Huai to gasp in pain.
"Master, it hurts!"
"What pain?! Why didn't you think about pain when you caused trouble!"
"I'm annoyed," Dr. Sun said, then took out several small porcelain bottles and a flat sandalwood box from the cabinet. Inside were silver needles of varying lengths, gleaming with a cold light.
"The corpse poison has seeped into your flesh, but thankfully it hasn't flowed through your blood vessels into your whole body, otherwise you'd be saying your last words by now."
Upon hearing this, Li Huai's expression changed.
I feel like I've just walked through the gates of hell.
I couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. Luckily, Li Hua is a tough guy; if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be saved now.
"Bear with it." Doctor Sun said, picking up a series of silver needles and quickly inserting them into several acupoints on the inside of Li Huai's wrist, the long silver needles going straight into his arm.
Although I've watched Dr. Sun perform acupuncture several times, I still can't help but feel a chill run down my spine at this moment.
This thing is terrifying.
Immediately afterwards, Dr. Sun used a sterilized knife to make a small cross-shaped incision on Li Huai's wound.
Like a razor blade being used, Li Huai grimaced in pain.
However, no blood flowed from the wound; instead, some thick, black liquid seeped out, emitting a foul stench.
Both Luo Tianhe and I covered our noses, but Dr. Sun remained unfazed.
