Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

Han Xiao, whose thoughts had been exposed, did not deny it, but coldly said, "He comes to see you on the 15th of every month without fail. You are his only weakness. As long as you are in our hands, he will have to obey us."

"A weakness?"

Wei Changshou laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and coughed violently, causing the tubes in his body to tremble wildly.

It took him a long time to calm down, and he looked at Han Xiao with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Han Xiao, Han Xiao, did you go crazy from being a soldier? Or has hatred blew your mind out of you?"

Wei Changshou's eyes turned cold and sharp. "Do you really think that people like us, who made our fortunes by cannibalism, have any extra tenderness?"

"That was acting."

Wei Changshou said, enunciating each word clearly, "His coming to see me on the fifteenth of every month is just an act for his subordinates and for those outsiders. The title of 'filial son' can reassure his subordinates, silence those outsiders, and make people think that although Wei Donghai is ruthless, he is still a person who follows the rules."

The old man's voice carried a chilling clarity: "But at crucial moments... it's still a good pretext, or rather, a probe to test the waters. Like now, to see which deity has arrived, and how determined they are."

Xu Suyuan's face turned pale instantly. She subconsciously looked at Han Xiao and found that a fine layer of cold sweat had also seeped out on Han Xiao's forehead.

"You think arresting me is useless?" Wei Changshou looked at the changes in the two men's expressions and his tone became more and more sarcastic. "In Donghai's eyes, everything, including this old bone of mine that is about to be buried, is just a bead on an abacus."

"My life is his golden brand; my death can be his 'sad story' for him to tell in front of the media, or..."

Wei Changshou slightly raised his eyelids, and in that instant, the ruthlessness that erupted from him was exactly the same as that of the arrogant Wei Donghai.

"Or it could be bait to lure you 'big fish' who are blinded by hatred."

boom--!

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in my mind.

Han Xiao suddenly realized that from the moment they discovered the diary, to formulating the plan, and then successfully infiltrating this seemingly heavily guarded but actually loosely guarded ward...

All of this was part of the other side's calculations.

They were plotting how to use Wei Changshou's life to hurt Wei Donghai, while Wei Donghai was plotting how to use his own father's life to completely suppress these two deadly threats!

"You're standing here now, and he might be waiting to close the net!"

With the last vestiges of his former tyrannical power, Wei Changshou sighed, "I, Wei Changshou, have had my moments of glory and ruthlessness. I have no complaints about how I've fallen to this state. But you think you can use me to control him... you're too naive. That kid is far more ruthless, more decisive, and more calculating than I am."

"The student surpasses the teacher..." the old man exclaimed sincerely.

The moment he finished speaking.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

The suffocating silence in the corridor outside the ward was suddenly broken.

That wasn't the sound of chaotic running, but rather the sound of extremely orderly footsteps.

That's the sound only made by highly trained elite troops advancing rapidly on the ground in tactical boots.

The sound approached rapidly, growing louder as a black tide instantly engulfed the entire floor.

Then, right outside the door of this hospital room—

Stopped abruptly.

Dead silence.

An even more despairing silence descended once more.

Wei Changshou closed his cloudy eyes and leaned back, as if he had finally shed all pretense and completed the last performance of his life.

"listen."

He murmured softly, a hint of relief in his voice, "The net's in. My bait has served its purpose."

Han Xiao and Xu Suyuan reacted immediately.

The two quickly stood back to back, and Han Xiao instantly drew back the slingshot, locking the steel ball firmly onto the closed door.

The stun gun in Xu Suyuan's hand crackled, and a dark silver light flickered wildly in her eyes.

My heart has sunk to the bottom.

This was a meticulously planned hunt.

They thought they were wolves infiltrating the sheepfold, but little did they know that there were already guns lying in ambush for elephant hunters.

All eyes were now focused on that seemingly ordinary door.

In the suffocating silence.

The doorknob began to turn slowly.

Click.

------

Rewind a few minutes to the third floor of the main building of Nanshan Ci'an Nursing Home.

This place was originally a nurses' station, but it has now been transformed into a temporary tactical command center.

A dozen or so monitors occupied the entire wall, their eerie blue glow reflecting on Wei Donghai's sinister face, vividly portraying the lingering fear in his eyes and the morbid excitement of about to capture the "extraordinary."

"Mr. Chung, thank you so much this time."

Wei Donghai stared intently at the two red dots trapped in the intensive care unit on the screen. "After Gao Tianyou died, all my ill-gotten gains were completely wiped out. If it weren't for the support of the 'Five Mountains Society,' I'm afraid I would have really been defeated by these two rats tonight."

On the sofa behind him sat a man with an effeminate yet languid posture.

Zhong Heng swirled the red wine in his glass, looking at the screen through the crimson liquid, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Associate Wei, you're too kind. Although Blackstone International Security only dares to make big moves overseas, it's more than capable of sending in two tactical teams to handle this kind of 'private matter'." Zhong Heng took a sip of his drink. "After all, this can be considered a return gift from the organization for the 'pledge of allegiance' you gave us."

Wei Donghai turned around, his facial muscles twitching slightly.

After witnessing the terrifying power that shattered the Mercedes, he had to admit that the power of mortals was far too insignificant in the face of "divine power".

In order to survive, he has completely submitted to the "Five Mountains Society," even at the cost of selling his soul to the devil.

"Rest assured, this nursing home is my property. It's located in a remote area, far from the city center." Wei Donghai pointed to the empty corridor on the screen. "All the medical staff on duty tonight have been replaced beforehand with absolutely reliable confidants. No matter how much commotion there is, not a single word will get out."

"Very good." Zhong Heng put down his wine glass, his eyes suddenly turning sharp. "But you must remember our agreement. The organization is very interested in the mutation of those two 'samples,' especially the girl who can pass through matter. As for Han Xiao... as long as he's still mentally sound, it doesn't matter if his limbs are broken."

"Understood." A ruthless glint flashed in Wei Donghai's eyes. "As long as we can keep them under control, I have plenty of ways to make them regret ever being born."

Just then, the voice of the action team leader came through the walkie-talkie.

"Target confirmed. All personnel in position. Prepare for assault."

Zhong Heng sat up straight, and a beastly glint appeared in his effeminate eyes as he spotted his prey.

"Let's begin."
