283: The fang has been found!

Bai Wanqing was stunned.

Huh?

Ye Chen's answer was far too unexpected!

So much so that she couldn't react at the first moment.

She stood in the executive elevator, her beautiful eyes wide open.

"Go... go kill someone?"

"Ye Chen, are you... sure you're not joking?"

"This is Tianyao Group, and I am the head of the group. You suddenly came here to tell me you want to kill someone from a cooperative medical team?"

"What... what exactly is going on?"

She was not a woman who hadn't weathered storms.

In just one month, she had been able to take charge of Tianyao Group, having experienced infighting, commercial oppression, and even some sordid affairs that couldn't see the light of day.

But for someone like Ye Chen to directly say the words "go kill someone," and the target being an important foreign cooperative team for the group...

The impact was simply too great.

Ye Chen turned his head, looking at her with a calm gaze.

"I'm not joking."

"In that European regenerative cell repair technology team, someone who shouldn't be there has snuck in."

"That is a killer."

"Ranked fifth on the Dark Web, 'poison fang' Hawke, a mid-stage Heaven Realm expert and a master of poisons."

"He disguised his identity to sneak into Xiamen City, and his targets are me and the people around me."

"You are in close contact with me, so you are very likely included in his list of potential targets."

Ye Chen paused, his voice slightly cold.

"A poison master of this level kills without a trace."

"If he really wanted to act, you might not even know how you died."

After hearing this, Bai Wanqing's face instantly turned pale.

She was not doubting Ye Chen's words.

On the contrary, precisely because she understood Ye Chen's abilities and character, she knew even more clearly that Ye Chen would never speak carelessly about such things.

Dark Web killer?

Master of poisons?

These words combined together made a fine layer of cold sweat instantly break out on her back.

She wasn't afraid of the treacherous commercial wars, but these kinds of dark methods that were impossible to guard against and directly threatened life were another matter entirely.

Because.

Her late husband was killed by a killer!

Bai Wanqing's eyes sharpened, and she no longer had any hesitation.

"I understand."

"And I believe you."

"Since such a dangerous person has snuck in, we must deal with it thoroughly."

"Not just to help you, but also for Tianyao Group and for my own safety."

As she said this, she reached out and pressed the button to stop the ascending elevator.

The elevator gave a slight jolt and stopped at a certain floor.

"I will take you to the nursing center now."

While speaking, Bai Wanqing quickly operated the elevator panel, changing the floor to the underground garage.

"Tell me the situation in detail on the way. I need to know more details so I can cooperate with you, while also avoiding unnecessary panic and trouble."

Ye Chen looked at Bai Wanqing, who had quickly entered her role, and a flash of approval crossed his eyes.

This woman, being able to manage such a large operation as Tianyao Group, was truly no mere vase.

Calm, decisive, knowing how to weigh pros and cons, and even clearer on when to trust whom.

"Good."

Ye Chen was concise.

The elevator quickly descended to the underground garage.

"Ding."

The door opened.

The two got into a black sedan, Ye Chen drove, and they merged into the traffic on the street.

Before long.

Inside the car.

Bai Wanqing glanced at Ye Chen, who was driving, and couldn't help but ask: "That Hawke... what's the specific situation? How did you discover it? Are you sure you can handle it?"

She asked very directly and practically.

After all.

Since they were going to cause trouble on her turf, she naturally had the right to know.

Ye Chen gripped the steering wheel and smiled slightly.

"The source of intelligence is reliable."

"That person is good at disguise and poisoning, his movements are secretive, and if you're not careful, you might be killed."

"As long as I can find him, even the King of Heaven would have to kneel."

Bai Wanqing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Take you directly to see them? Or..."

"Under the name of the group head inspecting a cooperative project, go directly to the nursing center."

Before she could finish, Ye Chen had already taken over, "I need to confirm his identity up close."

"Understood."

Bai Wanqing didn't ask any more questions and directly gave Ye Chen an address.

Before long.

Outside the car window, the city scenery was gradually replaced by greenery.

The white building of the nursing center, full of modern design, was already vaguely visible.

The car drove into the gate of the nursing center, passed through an internal road shaded by green trees, and finally stopped in front of the white building.

The two had just gotten out of the car.

A Middle-aged Man wearing a white coat, about forty-something, hurried out of the hall to welcome them.

He was the person in charge of the nursing center, surnamed Liu.

"President Bai! Why did you suddenly come here in person?"

"You didn't even notify me in advance so I could arrange a reception!"

Director Liu's face was full of obsequious smiles.

Bai Wanqing smiled faintly: "I just happened to be passing by, so I came to see the progress of the project. What, am I not welcome?"

"How could that be! Welcome, very welcome!"

Director Liu hurriedly stepped aside, made a "please" gesture, and said, "President Bai, Mr. Ye, please come in!"

He clearly recognized Ye Chen as well, and his attitude became even more respectful and cautious.

There was no way around it.

In the upper-class circles of Xiamen City, no one didn't know Ye Chen.

That person was too fierce; who would dare not be polite?

The three walked into the hall.

Bai Wanqing asked as she walked: "Director Liu, where is that European regenerative cell repair technology team now? How is the progress?"

Director Liu answered quickly.

"Dr. Hopkins and the others are in the A-level laboratory on the third floor."

"The first batch of experimental materials just finished preliminary cultivation this morning, and the data looks very ideal!"

His face showed an excited expression, "President Bai, if this project succeeds, our Tianyao Group will definitely be able to lead domestic peers in the high-end regenerative medical field by at least five years!"

Bai Wanqing nodded: "Let's go to the laboratory to take a look."

"Now?" Director Liu was stunned, then reacted, "Okay, I'll lead the way. President Bai, Mr. Ye, please this way, the elevator is over here."

The elevator quickly arrived at the third floor.

The corridor was bright, with heavy explosion-proof glass compartments on both sides, and staff in sterile suits could be vaguely seen busy inside.

Director Liu led the two to the door of a laboratory at the end of the corridor marked "A-01".

He first swiped his card through the access control system and then performed an iris verification before the heavy airtight door slowly slid to one side.

Seven or eight people in blue sterile suits were operating in front of several precision instruments and equipment, while recording data.

Hearing the door open, an elderly foreigner with gray hair near the door turned his head.

He took off his mask, was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Bai Wanqing, and then a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Ms. Bai? I didn't expect you to arrive suddenly!"

"I am Hopkins, the person in charge of this project. Welcome to my laboratory."

Bai Wanqing smiled slightly, stepped forward, and shook hands with Hopkins: "Dr. Hopkins, sorry to bother you. I just happened to have some time, so I came over to see everyone and also to learn about the latest progress of the project."

Her gaze swept over the others in the laboratory as if inadvertently.

Except for Hopkins, there were three men and two women, all foreigners, also wearing sterile suits.

Ye Chen stood quietly behind Bai Wanqing's side, his gaze slowly sweeping over those few people.

His gaze finally fixed on a male figure near the inside who was operating a centrifuge.

The next second.

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth lifted slightly.

Found him.

Although the other party was camouflaged very well, it was very difficult to hide his strength.

Even if he really had some ability to hide his aura, he could never escape his sensing.

Because...

As long as he stepped on the ground, the Thick Earth Inheritance could see through all illusions.

Hawke.

Fifth on the Dark Web, "poison fang".

He was indeed here.

Hawke also seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, and he instinctively looked over.

The next second.

His face suddenly turned gloomy.

Those eyes hidden behind the goggles narrowed like a viper, flashing a sinister cold light.

As a master of poisons and a mid-stage Heaven Realm killer, his perception of energy and gazes was extremely sharp.

Almost the moment Ye Chen's gaze fell on him, he also noticed it.

Even.

Recognized Ye Chen.

Never expected...

Ye Chen actually appeared here.

So.

His identity, location, purpose...

Were all exposed???

The atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly stalled with the change in Hawke's eyes.

Bai Wanqing keenly captured the change, her gaze following Ye Chen's, also falling on Hawke, and her heart tightened slightly.

She understood.

That man was more than likely Ye Chen's target!

Dr. Hopkins saw that Bai Wanqing and the young man accompanying her were both looking at his assistant, and although he was a bit puzzled, he still introduced him enthusiastically.

"Ms. Bai, this is my capable assistant, Robert."

"He is a genius in cell separation and purification. He has been with me for almost three years, and many key data points for this project were completed under his leadership."

With appreciation for his subordinate on his face, he waved to Robert, "Robert, come here for a moment. This is President Bai of Tianyao Group."

Hawke's movements paused, he turned around, took off his goggles and mask, revealing a stiff and serious Western face.

He walked up and nodded slightly to Bai Wanqing: "President Bai, hello."

His voice was steady, and his demeanor was no different from a rigorous scientific researcher.

But Ye Chen smiled.

He smiled with a bit of playfulness and suddenly spoke.

"Doctor, you say he has been with you for three years?"
