Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

"Say that again? What is this?"

Shen Mingchao picked at his ear, his face full of disbelief.

She never expected that Hordolph, whom she hadn't contacted for so long, would do something so outrageous to her the moment they met.

Since her visit to meet with them not long ago, the effect has been remarkable. The subtle stares around them have almost disappeared, or perhaps they are now more discreet about it. In any case, with her firm attitude, these people should not make a fool of themselves.

Then, on a very ordinary day, this person suddenly appeared at her door.

His hands were in his pockets, his expression was cold, and only a hint of fatigue was visible between his brows.

His calm and composed demeanor made him seem more like someone returning home than someone coming to apologize.

That's really annoying.

I want to tear this composure apart.

She did just that. When she opened the door and was surprised to find someone outside, and after confirming that it was someone she knew, she didn't hesitate for a second, clenched her fist and swung it.

However, she forgot the crucial point.

It was too late to pull back his fist, otherwise she would have definitely switched to kicking with her foot.

Hodorf didn't dodge.

After taking a hard punch, he suddenly turned his head away, and even his glasses fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Mingchao raised an eyebrow. Having finished beating the person, he didn't want to say anything more. He grabbed the takeout from the door and was about to close the door.

However, Hodov's urgent voice inevitably came through the crack in the door, which was not yet closed.

"Ming Dynasty, my medicine has been successfully developed. I know you can't accept it and want to take revenge on us."

Give me a chance.

"I can be a knife for your revenge."

The door was closed completely.

Shen Mingchao couldn't calm down. After finishing her takeout, she sat on the sofa and sighed helplessly.

Humans are naturally curious.

The main reason was that she didn't think Hordorff was joking.

I'm just so curious.

She wasn't one to dwell on things, so she opened the app on her phone and asked through the monitoring system.

"Tell me, what kind of medicine is it? What does it do?"

"And most importantly, is this thing legal?"

"I feel I have to say this: although what you're doing isn't exactly legal, and you probably don't really respect the law, I still want to be a law-abiding citizen."

In the surveillance footage, Hodolf, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up upon hearing the sound. After identifying the source of the sound, he looked at the monitor and said something that made people burst out laughing.

"It's a drug that makes men unable to get an erection."

Shen Mingchao's eyes widened: "Say that again? What is this?"

In the video, Hordorff patiently repeated, "You heard me right, this drug is for treating and controlling hyperplasia, but it has side effects that affect function."

At this point, he gave a sinister smile.

"Since ancient times, medicine and toxicology have been of the same origin. I am proficient in medicine and knowledgeable in toxicology. The two are inherently connected. In traditional Chinese medicine, many medicinal materials require precise control of dosage. If the dosage is exceeded, they may turn from medicine into poison."

"That's the medicine."

"I slightly adjusted the formula to increase its side effects. Just one pill is enough to make them suffer terribly for a month."

Shen Mingchao was stunned after hearing this.

Oh no, this spray won't work, this is the real Breaking Bad.

She felt like something filthy had entered her mind. Shaking her head, she sighed, "You're really vicious. Aren't you afraid of being exposed and beaten to death?"

The curve of Hordorf's lips widened further.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"However, I'm not a coward."

They were rivals in love, so there was no question of showing mercy. More importantly, he could use this as an excuse to reconnect with Shen Mingchao.

Look—

She's very interested in it now.

This indicates that the plan is feasible.

Hodor's eyes were fixed intently on the flashing red light on the monitor, as if he wanted to look through the screen and meet the gaze of his beloved, who was separated by a wall and could never be reached.

"I think you should know my background. For a long time, I was an adversary of them, so don't confuse me with them."

"It is undeniable that I am a bad person, a greedy and corrupt person. I am ambitious and pursue fame and fortune. But only a scoundrel like me can be used at will without any psychological burden."

"Ming Dynasty, I have come to surrender to you. You can use me as a weapon."

"Since feelings are unreliable, then purely self-interested relationships are the most reliable."

"Ming Dynasty, now I need your help; in other words, you are my ambition."

Hodolf's words came through the phone, one by one.

It sounds quite sincere.

But as he said, he was a cunning and scheming villain. No matter how beautifully and persuasively a villain speaks, you can't believe everything he says.

Shen Mingchao scoffed and retorted, "You're trying your best to distance yourself from them and eager to prove your loyalty to me, but don't forget, you're not innocent in this matter either."

"Besides, do you think I'll believe you based on just a few sweet words?"

Upon hearing this, Hordorf nodded in agreement.

He had anticipated this situation.

"I'm not just spouting nonsense; I've been prepared to prove the drug's effectiveness for a long time." With that, he took out a stack of bound papers from his bag.

He explained as he showed each item to the monitoring system.

"To be honest, I've personally tested it, and these are all my test reports."

"Of course, reports can also be falsified."

As Hodor finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

He then took the medicine bottle out of his pocket and pried open the cap with his fingertips.

"Ming Dynasty, you're right, I'm not innocent either, so you can take revenge on me first."

After saying that, Hordorff suddenly tilted his head back, with a desperate resolve, and poured all the pills from the bottle into his mouth...

Upon seeing this scene through his phone screen, Shen Mingchao uttered a rare swear word.

"Holy crap, you're insane!"

Without thinking twice, she ran to the entrance as fast as she could, opened the door, grabbed Hordorff's tie, made him bend down, and pried open his mouth with her other hand.

"He threw up! Hurry up!"

"Are you crazy?! Eating a whole bottle at once! Trying to ruin yourself? Or do you want me to call you to the hospital for a stomach pump? If you don't want to live, just say so, don't fucking die on my doorstep!"

At this point, we can't care about contact anymore.

Shen Mingchao roughly gripped Huo Daofu's jaw and threatened, "If you don't want me to dislocate your jaw, spit it out now, do you hear me!"

Fortunately, despite his madness, he's still fairly obedient.

Hodor waved his hand, sidestepped her outstretched hand, and knelt on the cold ground.

He pressed his fingertips against the back of his tongue and forcefully pulled, and a wave of nausea surged up instantly. He bent over and gagged, suppressing his nausea, vomiting up all the pills he had just swallowed.

Very strange.

At this moment, Shen Mingchao still had the mind to think about other things.

She suddenly felt that Hordorf's disheveled, dry heaving appearance was very similar to San San spitting out a hairball.
