Thinking of the fertilizer in the back garden, the smiling tiger's smile vanished, replaced by a sinister look. Yao Tongxu took a step back, but upon encountering Xiao Gengwu, he immediately mustered his courage and took a step forward.
I can't back down, this is Brother Xiao, who has always been very patient and caring in teaching me!
Seeing Yao Tongxu's actions, the smiling tiger immediately put on a smiling face again: "I'm always very generous to those who are obedient, but I'm not so sure about those who are disobedient!"
"I believe you are all obedient people. Come, come, come in with me and take a look at our sophisticated instruments. I've heard that researchers treat these instruments as if they were their own lives!"
"I've spent a lot of money to buy batch after batch of equipment, all to unleash your potential. See how much easier it is to work with someone like me in charge?"
Xiao Gengwu remained noncommittal: "If we achieve results in our research, who will be the author?"
Smiling Tiger: "I've provided you with so many conveniences and high bonuses, so the issue of authorship is not something you can worry about; it's something we should be concerned with!"
He Jiale wouldn't stand for this nonsense: "What do you mean? You're going to take credit for the results of our research? Who's going to work for you then?"
"I said whoever listens will live a life of luxury, and whoever doesn't will face the consequences. Go to the backyard and drag those who are disobedient over here to show them!"
Soon, a bodyguard ran away and dragged over a person who was barely alive. This person looked like one of them, a recent graduate.
He Jiale clenched his fists. He had undergone a long period of military training, and he really couldn't stand seeing injustices happening in front of him.
But he quickly lowered his hand. His priority now was to conserve his strength. If a fight really broke out, he would protect as many people as he could.
Not only did they drag the man out, but the smiling tiger also pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the man's head: "Hand over your secret formula, or I'll blow you up with one shot?"
The man flinched. His head was covered in blood, which flowed into his eyes, blurring his vision, but he could still make out Xiao Gengwu's face.
Having clearly seen what Xiao Gengwu said, he nodded: "I'll give it to you now, but look at my hands, they've been beaten like this by you all, can I write now?"
The smiling tiger's face turned cold, and he raised his pistol at one of the bodyguards: "I've said it before, these are all researchers. You can't shoot their hands. If you cripple their hands now, you're asking for death."
One of the bodyguards tried to explain, but before he could even open his mouth, he was shot in the head and fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide with disbelief, raising a cloud of dust.
As soon as the man fell, someone skillfully dragged him away. The smiling tiger saw smoke coming from the gun barrel and blew on it, saying, "Did you see that? This is what happens when you disobey. He can't write anymore. Who's going to help him write?"
Xiao Gengwu slowly walked over: "I'll help!"
Seeing Xiao Gengwu come up, He Jiale and Yao Tongxu followed. Yao Tongxu even tried to take over from her brother-in-law, saying, "Let me write! Let me write! My handwriting is beautiful too!"
Seeing the two men vying to write, the smiling tiger hesitated. But looking around, he realized that all the bodyguards were idiots; making them write would be the death of him.
He pointed to one of the bodyguards: "Go and bring a set of tables and chairs. We'll write here. We can't let my floor get dirty!"
The tables and chairs were quickly moved over, and Xiao Gengwu sat down on his own. He Jiale and Yao Tongxu surrounded Xiao Gengwu, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.
This smiling tiger is a madman; he kills without warning, and he's really difficult to deal with!
Xiao Gengwu was ready to say to the people on the ground, "I'm ready, go ahead and speak!"
The man hesitated for a moment, but the smiling tiger was no pushover: "You dare to make a single mistake? I'll shoot you!" Not only that, he also pointed the gun at the man's head.
The man could only look up at Xiao Gengwu again, grit his teeth and begin to explain the secret recipe. As he spoke, his heart was bleeding. This was the result of his three years of research, and he was just giving it away like this!
But if I don't say that I'll die on the spot, I can still go out and do other research later if I have the chance.
Then the bizarre part began: a person covered in blood lay on the ground, speaking slowly but clearly, with a gun pointed at his head!
Xiao Gengwu sat at the table and wrote calmly, quickly finishing page after page. His smiling tiger eyes were full of fervor, and his heart was pounding.
He was extremely satisfied to see that he had these highly intelligent people under his thumb. Although he wasn't particularly intelligent, he had a group of highly intelligent people serving him.
So what if he's illiterate? So what if he comes from humble beginnings? He has a gun now, who dares disobey him?
He Jiale kept observing the smiling tiger's face. This man's expression changed from smiling to fierce, making him seem like he wasn't a normal person. With so many people around, and more importantly, with guns, how was he going to escape?
No matter how many words there were, they were all written. Smiling Tiger took the paper, looked at it again and again, and pretended to understand it: "Hmm, you're smart enough not to lie to me, otherwise I would have blown you up with one shot!"
Yao Tongxu's lips twitched. He clearly saw his brother Xiao write down what the other person said in the opposite way, yet this person said it was all correct. Could it be that he is illiterate?
Yao Tongxu's hand was quickly pinched by Xiao Gengwu. Yao Tongxu immediately looked away from the smiling tiger's face. What was wrong with him?
The situation is so dangerous now, how dare he be distracted? How dare he try to guess what others are thinking? He should be thinking about how to escape! Otherwise, all three of them will end up like the people lying on the ground!
Smiling Tiger contentedly put the papers into his upper pocket, then glanced at his watch: "It's getting late, you must be hungry, right? Hurry up and prepare the meal, use the highest grade!"
One of the bodyguards immediately went to instruct the chef, while the smiling tiger gestured to Xiao Gengwu, "Let's go inside and take a look!"
Xiao Gengwu stood up, dusted off his clothes, and stepped inside. From the outside, it looked like an abandoned factory.
But once inside, it was a lavishly decorated villa, with a huge chandelier illuminating every corner, making the tiles appear blindingly bright.
Xiao Gengwu walked on the tiles; they were a bit slippery. They had never walked on tiles like this before. Xiao Gengwu asked curiously, "What is this? It's so slippery."
Xiao Gengwu's words pleased the smiling tiger, who let out another devilish laugh: "These are new tiles from R country, and they're one of a kind!"
Xiao Gengwu nodded and continued walking forward.
