856: Chapter 851 I want to call the police!

His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying the authority of someone long accustomed to giving orders.

"Does Manager Li think that your father's pancreas, which has already rotted into bean dregs, is only worth this price?"

Li Kai's action of trimming his nails stopped abruptly.

He suddenly looked up, staring fixedly at the strange man before him.

"How do you know it's the pancreas?"

The news he released to the circle was only that the old man was unwell; the specific lesion was a top secret of Tiannuo Biology, with even the stock price tied to it.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't answer. Instead, he pulled out a tablet from his coat, swiped out a 3D model, and pushed it in front of Li Kai.

"The CA19-9 index exceeds 120, retroperitoneal lymph node enlargement, accompanied by multiple liver metastases."

"Severe ascites began three days ago. Last night, he should have been admitted to the ICU for intubation, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, when Manager Li entered, the soles of your shoes were stained with a special disinfectant powder used only in ICU sterile wards."

With every word Lin Zhiyuan spoke, Li Kai's face grew a shade paler.

By the end, the folding knife in Li Kai's hand fell onto the table with a "clack."

Every single point was correct.

Even the time of the intubation last night was exactly right.

These were definitely not details that could be known by listening to rumors, unless this person had truly seen the old man's latest medical records, or possessed a diagnostic capability more terrifying than Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Li Kai swallowed hard, and half of his previous arrogance instantly vanished.

"Who are you?"

"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I have the life you want."

Lin Zhiyuan took out a glass vial only the size of a thumb from his suit pocket.

The bottle contained only two milliliters of a light blue liquid.

The liquid was crystal clear, refracting a strange blue light under the sun, as if a piece of the deep sea were sealed inside.

"This is a phase I clinical reagent from our laboratory, code-named 'Blue Blood'."

"Although it's a diluted version, it's enough to keep your father's failing heart beating for another 72 hours and restore his liver and kidney functions to the levels they were at three months ago."

Li Kai stared fixedly at the small bottle, his breathing becoming rapid.

As a vice president of a biopharmaceutical company, he had a discerning eye.

Just the color of this liquid and the tension as it clung to the glass meant it definitely wasn't some fake medicine mixed from saline solution found on the market.

"How can you prove it?"

Li Kai's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of a final struggle.

"Simple."

Lin Zhiyuan snapped his fingers.

Chen Guangke, standing at the door, strode over, carrying a small portable cage in his hand.

Inside the cage was a lab mouse that had been prepared beforehand.

The mouse had clearly been injected with some kind of potent toxin; it was currently lying at the bottom of the cage, foaming at the mouth and twitching, looking like it was about to die.

Lin Zhiyuan picked up a micro-syringe and drew less than 0.1 milliliters of liquid from the small blue bottle.

The needle pierced into the mouse's abdominal cavity.

Li Kai held his breath, not daring to even blink.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Just as Li Kai was about to lose his temper and start cursing, the mouse, which had already rolled its eyes back, suddenly kicked its hind leg.

Then, a miracle happened.

It stopped twitching, its cloudy eyes became clear again, and its previously dull fur seemed to regain a hint of luster.

Five minutes later, this little thing that had been hovering at death's door actually stood up and began looking for food in the cage.

"This... this is impossible..."

Li Kai looked as if he had seen a ghost, his whole body slumped in his chair.

He had a background in biology and knew very well what this kind of immediate restorative power meant.

It defied existing biological common sense.

It was a miracle.

"I want it!"

Li Kai suddenly stood up, reaching out to grab the small bottle.

"One million isn't enough, right? Five million! Ten million! As long as this medicine is real, you can name any price!"

Slap!

A slender and powerful hand reached out and pressed down on the priceless small bottle.

It was Shen Yan.

A faint smile played on his lips, but his eyes were as cold as Siberian permafrost.

"Manager Li, that's not how business is done."

"When we at pangu Life Sciences choose partners, we never look at money."

"Then what do you look at?" Li Kai asked, his eyes red with desperation.

Shen Yan didn't speak, but simply turned to look at Lin Zhiyuan and made a "please" gesture.

Lin Zhiyuan slowly took off his gold-rimmed glasses, pulled out a cleaning cloth from his pocket, and carefully wiped the lenses.

He looked up, his eyes now unobstructed by the lenses, staring straight at Li Kai.

"Manager Li, you really have a short memory for someone of your status."

"We just met three days ago."

Li Kai froze, his brow furrowed as he carefully studied the face.

The face was unfamiliar, carrying an air of scholarly refinement and the authority of a superior.

But those eyes...

That resentment and madness hidden beneath the surface felt inexplicably familiar.

Suddenly, Li Kai's pupils constricted.

A recent memory flooded his mind.

Yueyang South Service Area.

Heavy rain.

A beggar by the trash can, smelling foul and gnawing on someone's leftovers.

At that time, the beggar had looked at him with the same eyes before being kicked over by him, his box of spoiled food trampled into the mud.

"You... you're that beggar?!"

Li Kai cried out in alarm, his finger trembling as he pointed at Lin Zhiyuan.

How could this be?

How could that piece of trash, who looked like he could die on the roadside at any moment, transform into a top expert holding a miracle drug?

"A beggar?"

Lin Zhiyuan Putting my glasses back on， The sharpness in his eyes was concealed.， The tone was so flat, as if she were telling someone else's story.。

"Yes, I was indeed a beggar then."

"I still remember Manager Li's teachings from that time."

Lin Zhiyuan stood up, walked around the table, and stepped up to Li Kai.

The two bodyguards behind Li Kai were about to move when they were glared back by a single look from Chen Guangke.

That was a murderous aura that only a ruthless person who had truly seen blood could emit; the two bodyguards were also professionals and immediately backed down.

"Manager Li said at the time that trash like me is a waste of air while alive, and there's no place to bury me when dead."

"Even that box of spoiled food would be better fed to a dog than to me."

Lin Zhiyuan leaned close to Li Kai's ear, his voice as gentle as an old friend's.

"Now, the life of Manager Li's most beloved father is held in the hands of this piece of trash."

"Tell me, isn't this retribution?"

Li Kai's face turned pale and then flushed; the massive gap in status made him almost collapse.

On one side was his father's fading life, and on the other was the ant he had once stepped on.

This sense of humiliation was more painful than being killed.

"You... you're scammers! This is a setup!"

Li Kai was somewhat incoherent, subconsciously trying to hide his inner fear with shouting.

"I'm calling the police! I'll have Tiannuo Biology's legal team sue you to death!"
