Chapter 361: Chapter 361 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Revealed This man suddenly stood up, "I know! It’s him! Li Yubin!" His finger pointed directly at the back of someone’s head in the front row. The person he was pointing at was actually the deputy director of the Changsheng Group’s research department, Li Yubin. The two visits from Changsheng Group to Qixing Group were led by him. Li Yubin suddenly stood up, almost knocking over the table in front of him. He... was one of the seven or eight people who didn’t have Gu worms crawling out of his nostrils. "Sun Jun, what do you mean?" The person accusing him was named Sun Jun. Sun Jun said, "You came to me seven days ago, asking me to steal information from my field and give it to you. I didn’t agree. You used a certain fragrance that made my brain ache intensely. You told me that there are worms in my brain and that you could kill me at any time if I didn’t listen to you! Did that happen?" As soon as he said this, Shen Yinchuan’s eagle-like sharp eyes locked onto Li Yubin. A blue shadow moved even faster, reaching Li Yubin almost imperceptibly. It was Blue Demon. Li Yubin’s face changed dramatically, "Nonsense, I never said that!" "At that time, my life was in your hands. I didn’t dare to resist you and could only say that the information wasn’t complete yet... Now, do you think I’m still afraid of you? It was you! Since you used coercive methods on me, you must have done it to others too, perhaps you’ve already succeeded!" Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed. Including Lin Xiaosu. The last piece of the puzzle in his heart was completed. Once activated, the Life Soul Gu is ferociously deadly, killing directly with no chance of saving even by a Daluo Golden Immortal. This is a deadly method. However, it’s not a good method for forcing submission. There must be a way to semi-activate this Gu worm. What does it mean to be semi-activated? It is to let a person know their life is in someone else’s hands without actually harming their life, allowing control over them! Sure enough, there is such a method. Being able to use another fragrance to semi-activate the Gu worm, causing piercing headaches, making the person believe the other can control their life... Sun Jun became the key figure to uncover this layer of the inside story. He could become the key figure because Li Yubin tried to take measures against him, but failed. If he had succeeded, Sun Jun wouldn’t have dared to step out and uncover the truth, fearing he betrayed national secrets. Today, seeing the Gu worm coming out of the skull with his own eyes, the shackles on him were lifted, and he naturally fought back immediately. This is human nature! Under his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, those whose expressions changed were evidently in another situation. They might have already sold secrets. They were conflicted... They were relieved that their shackles were lifted, yet they feared the issue continuing and leading to punishment for selling secrets. With a swish, Li Yubin suddenly sprang up! This bounce was as fast as lightning. He is a Genetic Person! In an instant, he reached the window; the next moment, he would crash through and escape... However, a blue flash occurred, and Li Yubin, who had just reached the window, seemed electrified by high voltage, rebounding, as Blue Demon appeared ghostly at the window. Li Yubin raised his hand sharply, revealing a small bottle in his palm. He held the small bottle high, "Let me go, or I’ll activate the hidden Gu worms in everyone here, and everyone will die!" His voice was frantic and hoarse. He Gaosheng tensed up completely, "Are there still hidden Gu worms?" He asked Shen Yinchuan. But how could Shen Yinchuan answer? He wasn’t familiar with Gu worms. For a moment, he couldn’t ascertain if the man was bluffing... After all, with over a hundred lives at stake, and the mysterious Gu Technique, no one could have certainty. If this bottle could indeed activate any undetected Gu worms, causing the death of over a hundred scientists, the cost would be immeasurable. At this moment, these hundred people unexpectedly became his hostages. Suddenly, it dimmed in front of Li Yubin. Lin Xiaosu appeared in front of him. "You... you listen to me clearly, there are still Gu worms in these bodies... don’t push me to a dead end with no escape!" Li Yubin retreated, the veins on his hand holding the small bottle bulged, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He had been exposed. There was no way out. Yet, he didn’t want to be captured. Even if it was a bluff, he wanted to bluff a way out. Lin Xiaosu made a sweeping motion, directly snatching the small bottle from Li Yubin’s hand. With a flip of the hand, Li Yubin’s legs and feet simultaneously broke. He collapsed limply. Everyone simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Xiaosu picked up the small bottle, shook it, slowly opened it, and sniffed it: "Hmm, it’s this smell!" Everyone’s faces turned white. Li Yubin, desperate, had used this small bottle as a bargaining chip, threatening to open the bottle and perish together with everyone. Lin Xiaosu snatched it over, lifting the lethal threat from everyone’s minds but turned around and opened the bottle. If these scientists had heart conditions, they probably would have had an attack. However, nothing happened. It turned out the fragrance wasn’t enough to offset the antidote spread throughout the meeting room. "Chief Shen!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I once promised you that I would let you witness the mystery of the Demon Sound now it’s time for a demonstration!" Shen Yinchuan’s eyes widened. He rubbed his thick finger on his head... The head-scratching gesture was quite distinctive... Yixiang stepped forward, holding a small transparent bottle. It was empty. Lin Xiaosu took the small bottle, slightly tilted Li Yubin’s bottle, poured out a drop of light blue liquid into the empty bottle, which immediately filled with a faint gas. Lin Xiaosu said, "The antidote in the conference room is enough to prevent the Life Soul Gu from being activated, but if you place the Life Soul Gu into this specialized activating liquid, it will still be activated. Let me demonstrate for everyone, then you’ll understand how it wreaks havoc in your brain if Li Yubin activates the Life Soul Gu." A Life Soul Gu, freshly crawling out of a scientist’s nostril, was taken out from another bottle of Yixiang’s and was placed into the transparent tube where a drop of light blue liquid had been dripped, under everyone’s gaze. Once it entered, something strange happened! A soft hum sounded, and the scales on the Life Soul Gu’s body suddenly stood up, vibrating violently while darting in all directions... It lasted merely two to three seconds! The vibration ended. The Life Soul Gu underwent corpse dissection, turning into a drop of pus! Everyone’s foreheads were sweaty, and their backs were completely drenched. All present were knowledgeable individuals, they all knew if this bug were to activate in the brain, their brain would instantly turn into mush. This was the method by which the Life Soul Gu killed. Shen Yinchuan reached out, taking off a pair of glasses from his nose, his eyes shining brightly: "According to my preliminary judgment, the injuries caused by Demon Sound match perfectly with the vibration path of this Life Soul Gu just now. More critically: after the Life Soul Gu vibrates, it turns into pus, also reasonably explaining why, after Demon Sound, no foreign objects could be found. I have recorded the video, and will immediately hand it over to the Special Cases Team for further comparison." He Gaosheng’s eyes were also shining brightly, his gaze turned to Ding Lizhong, who was baffled and had remained silent throughout: "Mr. Ding, your son-in-law...is truly a genius! Congratulations!" Ding Lizhong suddenly felt something strange swell up within him. Pride! Contentment! And a bit of confusion, my son-in-law suddenly appearing in Jiangcheng, with two beauties, especially this one named Yixiang, who gazed at him with starry eyes. His daughter was currently far away in Yangcheng. Dear daughter, pay a little more attention, this son-in-law is too special, even the mayor who harbored a deep grudge against him was thoroughly impressed, if you don’t pay attention, he might truly be taken away by someone else... Lin Xiaosu gazed at Li Yubin, who was limp on the ground: "Speak! Who is behind you?" Li Yubin was trembling all over, utterly dejected, for having exhausted all his trump cards yet to no avail. "Speak!" A loud shout from Shen Yinchuan. The Criminal Investigation Team Chief’s presence carried authority. His shout seemed to shatter the last dam within Li Yubin. "It’s Xia Tian! It’s Xia Tian, he..." Xia Tian! The Changsheng Group’s research team was almost entirely annihilated, the mastermind behind it was that notorious playboy Xia Tian. The persona he projected was that of a wealthy young master, unrestrained and extravagant, envied by the common folk as a national idol, yet scorned as an imbecile by true elites. However, everyone has another side. His other side was the manipulator behind this vicious plan. He was the first achievement of Lin Xiaosu in planning this meeting, and the "breakthrough point" in the dire situation ahead! Blue Demon abruptly turned back at the window: "little Su, let’s go!" "Let’s go!" Three figures exited the conference room. In the air, a flying car swirled and landed before them. Lin Xiaosu, Yixiang, and Blue Demon, soared into the sky... The Qianlong arrow had already left the string, pointing towards Yangcheng. The conference room was as quiet as night. He Gaosheng stood up on the platform: "Everyone, remain sealed in this conference room, hands on the table, anyone sending out any information will be immediately arrested!" With a swish, everyone’s hands were placed where others could see them. This was the confidentiality regulation. The Qianlong arrow off the string was a matter of great importance, no one was allowed to leak any information. Shen Yinchuan also stood up, his eagle-like eyes sweeping across the room. The situation inside the conference room was known only to those inside. However, the Qianlong Flying Car’s takeoff from Changsheng Group still alerted one person, Lei Xiaojun. Lei Xiaojun, the chairman of Changsheng Group. Lei Xiaojun walked to the window, watching the flying car soar away, frowning, he slowly turned his gaze to the secretary beside him: "Where’s the flying car from?" The secretary shook his head: "I don’t know, could it be Mr. Ding’s doing? The General Manager’s office just issued a meeting notice this morning." "What meeting?" "The meeting topic is ’Comprehensive Planning of Bioengineering’." "What? Comprehensive Planning?" Lei Xiaojun’s face darkened: "I haven’t even seen this plan, what is Old Ding up to?" Such was the discipline. At Changsheng Group, he was the chairman, Ding Lizhong was the general manager. A general manager could decide on ordinary matters, like holding a meeting or something, without necessarily consulting him. But, it depends on what the meeting is about. What is comprehensive planning? It’s direction! Such a major issue, and you don’t consult me, the chairman? Isn’t that a bit too much? "Call Mr. Ding and have him come to my office!" Lei Xiaojun said. "Yes!" The secretary immediately called, but the phone rang for a long time with no answer, the secretary said, "Mr. Ding is hosting a meeting, perhaps he didn’t hear it." "Didn’t hear?!" Lei Xiaojun said: "I’m going to the venue!"
