Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's expression slightly changed. He instinctively wanted to say, "How is that possible?" As the substance injected by Ji Nian began to take effect, Chen Mo's brain, which had been deteriorating along with his body, suddenly became active again. Non-genetic hereditary diseases, cases that had never been seen before, no matter how much he checked, he couldn't find the cause... All of these, if you set aside the common thinking that any discomfort means sickness, were essentially symptoms of poisoning. The person who sold the poison had been poisoned for years without realizing it. The malice of the person behind this was as unexpectedly annoying as finding only half a sheet of toilet paper after finishing in a public restroom, leaving one feeling both shocked and chilled.@@@@ And coincidentally, Ji Nian had thought of this too. [First, misleading Chen Mo into dealing with Ji Tingzhou, and then poisoning him, it’s clear they were prepared to send him to his death regardless of whether he succeeded or not.] In the original book, Ji Tingzhou was indeed frequently targeted by a mysterious group. Wei Yang was poisoned and turned into a madman, Zhi Lei died protecting Shen Qingtang during a chase, and even Ji Tingzhou himself, who survived until almost the end of the story, suddenly became a vegetable one day without any clear reason. [But the timeline of Ji Tingzhou becoming a vegetable doesn't match up. By that time, Shen Qingtang was already with Gu Xiuyuan.] Therefore, it was certain that Wei Yang's poisoning was the work of Chen Mo. If Ji Nian hadn't been there, he would really have died. However, it wasn't yet the time for Zhi Lei to be in danger. This means, apart from Wei Yang, the dangers Zhi Lei and Ji Tingzhou faced later must have been the work of that unknown force lurking in the shadows. Although he had thought a lot, it was all just a blink of an eye. "I'm sorry, for showing you my useless self..." Chen Mo truly experienced the miraculous effect of the drug. In just a short time, his speech became much smoother without any stuttering. "You're right, I still can't die. There are still many things waiting for me to do." He tried to sit up, but the action was still a bit strenuous. The pillow almost fell to the ground, but Ji Nian kindly helped him. Chen Mo's body was still weak. After this movement, he gasped for a few breaths, holding his chest before continuing, "Vengeance, is an organization I created to avenge my sister." "I'm sorry..." Regardless of the reasons, the deed had already been done, and Chen Mo didn't want to justify himself. "I haven't told you before because... because..." His previously smooth speech seemed to falter again. Ji Nian finished for him: "Because you were afraid that if I knew all the bad things you did, I wouldn't acknowledge you anymore, right?" Chen Mo didn't deny it. Long, black eyelashes lowered, casting a shadow on his pale face. Although he looked sickly and emaciated, with an overly pallid complexion, his good looks remained, like a delicate white lotus withering away. "I was afraid you'd hate me." His voice was soft and trembling. Standing in front of you now is a soul from another world. A renowned genius toxic agent maker with the nickname "Rabbit Hemorrhoid King." System: [Who gave you that title?] Ji Nian: [I did. Any problem?] Of course, there was no problem. The system was afraid she would go mad and expand her research to include programming electronic data with hemorrhoids and then yanking it out to twist into a rabbit tail. Her gaze flickered, but outwardly, Ji Nian merely blinked innocently. Chen Mo thought that telling such a preposterous story to an adult might result in being regarded as a lunatic. But to a child, this age of innocence and curiosity might make them more receptive to strange events. Realizing that this might be a long conversation, Ji Nian sent a message to Wei Yang, telling him not to block anyone. Then, she rolled her eyes and pulled a chair over for herself. Seeing her well-arranged herself, Chen Mo's eyes sparkled with a faint smile. "The story needs to start from the most confusing period of my life..." At that time, Chen Mo hadn't founded Vengeance. He wasn't even a company founder, just a band boy who had recently returned from abroad, facing the loss of his sister and the acquisition of his family's company. After discovering that his sister had died unjustly, he realized he needed power to investigate the truth. During that time, he was busy and overwhelmed, trying to raise money and attending endless drinking sessions that often landed him in the hospital. It's unclear whether it was good luck or if someone invisible was pushing him to grow, but Chen Mo quickly gathered his own team and subsequently founded a company. Within a few years, he rose to prominence at an astonishing pace. Using all his power, he investigated his sister's death and eventually uncovered the truth. But now, thinking back, there were many doubts. Even though he could be considered a promising young man, facing the Ji Family, especially the unstable Ji Family after Ji Tingzhou had restructured it, was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. Under such a class disparity, he still managed to find the truth. Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of happiness. Before knowing, he had sworn to avenge his sister, but after realizing who his enemy was, immense confusion and pain engulfed him. How could he possibly achieve that... How could one person, him, possibly challenge the Ji Family, a giant that had stood strong in this city for over a century? Tired of suffering on that painful night, he scattered all the data on the floor and unknowingly fell asleep on the ground. He had a dream.
