Chapter 538 Ashamed Parents and Children
Zi Yisheng smiled; he had truly misjudged this person he had always respected.
"Speak, and I'll see if what you say has any value."
"Young Master Zi, you must promise me to save Quan'er."
Zi Yisheng tugged open his collar and looked at Gong Wentao sarcastically.
"If you don't trust me, then what are we talking about? Gong Wentao, remember this, you can never leave here once you've stepped inside. I will find Baili Xi, and I will know everything about the Baili family."
Gong Wentao realized that whatever he said was wrong. He truly didn't mean it that way.
"Sigh~~ Young Master Zi, I really have no other intention. I'll speak now, I'll speak right away, I only beg you to let Quan'er live a little longer, considering he's still young."
Zi Yisheng impatiently lit a cigarette. Gong Wentao truly didn't understand his situation.
"The Baili family's final secret is that the head of the Baili family is not dead at all. Otherwise, do you think Baili Xi alone has the capability to stir up such a huge commotion?"
Zi Yisheng's pupils contracted, and he stood up abruptly. What had those people been doing all these years to allow a key figure to still be alive at this point?
"Say it, where is he?"
"Only the last step is left. Old Man Baili doesn't let anyone know his exact location, not even Baili Xi."
"Now hand over Baili Xi, and I will apply for voluntary surrender for you. Hopefully, it will save your life."
Gong Wentao's eyes turned red. He had long lost the face to live in this world.
"Thank you."
Soon, everyone in the office building was mobilized, some to arrest Baili Xi, and others to confiscate the secret laboratory.
Baili Xi was brought to the office building while he was still unconscious. Asen splashed a basin of water on his face.
"Pfft, cough, cough, cough, who, how dare you!"
Asen immediately kicked him a few times. He was truly accustomed to being a young master.
"Don't hit, don't hit, do you know who I am?"
At this moment, Zi Yisheng walked in, causing the unaware Baili Xi to fall silent instantly.
"It's you, Zi Yisheng."
Zi Yisheng directly threw a bag of medicine to Asen. There was no need to waste words with this fool.
The drug's effect on Baili Xi was slow, which made Zi Yisheng very puzzled.
"Go and call Shen'ge over."
When Ye Shen'ge entered, she saw something different about Baili Xi. The medicine she took could only last for three minutes at most, but this person's whites of the eyes were already red, yet he was still conscious.
Ye Shen'ge crouched down and checked Baili Xi's eyelids, then took his pulse.
"Heh heh, Ye Shen'ge, I've seen you. You've always been lingering in my mind. If you weren't already married, I would definitely have snatched you to keep me company."
Asen went up and gave Baili Xi a few more heavy kicks. Zi Yisheng, furious, grabbed his hair and slammed it to the ground, only releasing him when blood started to flow.
Ye Shen'ge remained unmoved. She took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupoints on him.
"He should have been taking a certain medicine regularly, which can resist some toxic erosion. Just add another dose of medicine. I really want to see how much he can withstand."
Zi Yisheng threw another bag of medicine to Asen. The medicine his wife had painstakingly made was being wasted on him.
"Heh heh, it's useless. Our Baili family is best at making medicine. Yours are just trivial things."
"Oh? Then we'll know if we try."
Ye Shen'ge was now genuinely interested in the Baili family's secret medicine.
After being given the third bag, Baili Xi stopped shouting, and his eyes became glazed.
"Ask quickly, I'm afraid he'll become stupid."
This time, Ye Shen'ge did not choose to leave. She found a piece of paper and sat aside to record, in case she could obtain something she was interested in.
"Where is Old Man Baili?"
"He's hiding. The lame old man isn't hiding far."
"Are you saying Old Man Baili is in Chenghai City? And he's disabled?"
"Hahahaha, he's lame, both his legs are lame. He still wants to control me? No way. His forces all listen to me now."
"What is the Baili family's final secret medicine? Can it really save He Quan?"
"Secret medicine, yes, the Baili family has many, many secret medicines. But He Quan won't live for more than two years. Gong Wentao is a fool. He doesn't realize he's been deceived even after changing his son's blood."
Zi Yisheng rubbed his forehead. Yes, he was indeed a fool, trapped by love his entire life.
"What research are you conducting in your secret laboratory?"
"Hahahaha, it will scare you to death to say it. We're just one step away from success. Once successful, this country will return to the Baili family, and I will be the one standing at the highest position."
"Explain it in detail, what is it that's only one step away?"
"Medicine. Once this medicine is made, it can be sprayed into the sky like rain. Everyone, even animals, will obey us. No, they will only obey me, because it contains my blood, a large amount of blood."
Ye Shen'ge looked at Zi Yisheng. Was this considered a biological crisis? What kind of medicine could have such power?
"Where is the medicine now?"
"Hahahaha, you'll never guess. It's not in any secret laboratory. That's just a preliminary laboratory, and it doesn't have any core components. But I have a gift for you."
Zi Yisheng's heart sank to the bottom. With bloodshot eyes, he yelled at Asen.
"Hurry and chase after them, but don't enter the laboratory!"
"Yes, yes."
Asen bumped into the wall when he ran out, showing how panicked he was.
Meanwhile, Gong Wentao was sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside. He wouldn't be able to see it for much longer.
The people in the same car as Gong Wentao were also uncomfortable. It was already difficult enough that they hadn't attacked him, considering how close they once were, only for them to suddenly become adversaries.
"Ah Hong, is Fang Ni really dead?"
"Not yet, but she's no different from dead. The doctor said she might never wake up."
Upon mentioning Sun Fangni, Ah Hong was filled with anger. They even went to take care of the small noodle shop she ran. What a hard-working woman, how could she be ruined by Gong Wentao?
Gong Wentao rubbed his face, actually wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"I thought she was strong."
"Pah! No matter how strong she is, she can't withstand you ruining her like this. Have you thought about how your youngest son will live in the future? Anyone who knows him will say he's the son of a criminal, and he'll never be able to hold his head up anywhere. If I were Sun Fangni, I would have taken the child and died with him."
"I hope I get a chance to atone in the next life."
"Hmph, if I were Sun Fangni, I definitely wouldn't want to meet you again in the next life. It's bad luck."
Gong Wentao gave a self-deprecating smile. Yes, he was such an unlucky person, shaming his parents and child.
The car stopped at the foot of the mountain opposite the sea. Looking into the distance, the continuous mountains made it difficult to spot any trace of a secret base, not even a path for people to walk on.
"Where do we go up the mountain?"
Gong Wentao stood at the foot of the mountain, searching for the marker he had specifically noted. He pointed to a spot where five large trees stood in a row.
"It's there. I followed once before. Go and see if there are any marks I made on the trees."
