In the darkness, the figure leaning against the iron frame was tall and dangerous.
Lu Yan threw the blood-stained cotton balls into the trash can. If there were any outsiders present, they would be very surprised because the speed at which his wounds healed was astonishing.
A faint, cool fragrance wafted out, seemingly from an ability derived from one's bloodline.
Putting on a new shirt, the old and new scars remaining on his well-defined muscles gave the originally fair-skinned boy a wilder, more masculine look, and his whole body was full of explosive power.
Unfortunately, they were all hidden under their clothes, just like wolves hiding their ferocity.
Because of his special physical condition, the whip marks on his back had long since disappeared, and the whip had actually not hurt or itch when it first struck.
Lu Yan felt something he hadn't felt in a long time—pain.
A voice seemed to mock him in the darkness, saying that he had already confirmed that the woman was not her, yet he insisted on confirming it again in this self-destructive way, how ridiculous.
But when he saw her face, he couldn't control himself.
It's really an eyesore.
It's better to just destroy it.
He took something out of his pocket and examined it carefully. It was a blade, which, upon closer inspection, resembled the blade from a pencil sharpener, only much sharper.
The sharp blade between his jade-like fingers was like a docile pet, but it couldn't hide the bloodlust in Lu Yan's eyes.
He suddenly stood up straight and coldly stared at the few people who came out from the shadows.
"Your boss really won't give up. He's already lost so much money and he's still sending you guys to your deaths." His voice was extremely cold.
Since he appeared a few years ago, they have suffered heavy casualties wave after wave. The few people in the shadows dared not underestimate him and had already drawn their guns, threatening, "If you know what's good for you, hand over RP3. We know you already have the finished product of this anti-cancer drug. Our boss said that as long as you are willing to hand it over, we can talk about cooperation. Otherwise..."
All the guns were loaded and pointed at his head.
Lu Yan showed no sign of panic; instead, he smiled and said, "Didn't your boss tell you not to talk too much in front of me?"
Before the people in the shadows could even speak, they suddenly smelled a strange odor, and in the next instant, their brains completely went out of control, and they started shooting at each other.
The gunshots with silencers were barely audible; the only sound was the thud of bodies falling to the ground.
Their last memory before they died was the man's casual remark: "The medical field is far more mysterious than you think."
Before long, several more unidentified experimental corpses appeared in the medical school basement, and a broken glass test tube appeared in the trash can. The liquid inside evaporated rapidly upon contact with air and could create realistic hallucinations. Unless the antidote was taken in advance, the person would either go insane or die.
The Xia family is a well-known conglomerate in China. When Grandpa Xia was young, he once saved a high-ranking Chinese general, which is why the Xia family has remained strong for so many years, and China has even given it various preferential treatment.
Unfortunately, since Grandpa Xia was injured ten years ago, and his son and daughter-in-law were involved in car accidents one after another, Xia Jianguo, this ambitious old man, has been in hiding. Meanwhile, his eldest daughter, Xia Ping, took control of the Xia family business while Grandpa Xia was ill.
It can't be said that a tiger father will not have a dog son. After gaining control, she became a bit arrogant, and problems gradually arose in the Xia family.
The third generation of the Xia family was even more mixed in quality.
A post that suddenly appeared online, exposing Xia Yixin's overseas Instagram account, which was filled with photos of bars, male models, and flaunting wealth, caused an uproar online.
[Aside from being reasonably good-looking, even I, as a woman, can't stand her. Her private life is too messy! Luckily, someone like that didn't actually manage the Xia family business.]
I think the Xia family is doomed sooner or later. That Wang Cheng isn't very capable. I heard the company is practically becoming part of the Wang family. Look at how it's been running for the past few years; the stock price has been declining year after year. Is it because the higher-ups don't want the Xia family to have a monopoly?
After this person spoke, the others in the thread fell into an eerie silence, and the original post was quickly deleted.
But Xia Yixin's face has finally become familiar to everyone, albeit in a very negative way.
On her first night in the Xia family's ancestral home, she slept exceptionally soundly, and the fact that she was physically healthy allowed her to temporarily put aside the fact that the male supporting character's happiness level was negative.
As expected, Grandpa Xia called her in for a talk the next day.
study.
Grandpa Xia stood in front of the desk, his eyes, as sharp as breasts, fixed on her, making no attempt to hide his scrutiny of his granddaughter. "I don't want to hear the truth about what happened yesterday, girl. I want to hear what your plans are for the future."
At this moment, Xia Yixin was a far cry from the vulgarity of her previous photos. She looked clean and refreshing, wearing a well-fitting light blue dress and with her straight black hair falling to her shoulders. She looked more like a member of the Xia family, especially the calm and wise look in her eyes, which pleased Grandpa Xia.
She met Grandpa Xia's gaze without flinching, and smiled slightly. "Grandpa, I'd like to start working in the next few days. Also, I'd like to ask you to lend me someone capable of helping me. I want to go back to the company; the position of president of Xia's Group should have been mine." Wang Cheng is currently the vice president, having occupied the position for several years and acting arrogantly.
Smart people don't beat around the bush when they speak.
Especially her calm and composed demeanor in her starry eyes, which commanded respect, though it still seemed a bit immature to him. "Understood?"
In fact, Xia Jianguo never expected his daughter to hate him so much. By the time he realized what was happening and wanted to take action, it was too late. Fortunately, she has come to her senses now.
Seeing Xia Yixin nod, the old man sighed, "It seems you've heard what I said that day. I've been sick for too many years, it's time to take back the company that belongs to you, girl. I don't expect you to bring the Xia family back to its peak, but I hope you can grow from this experience."
