The light in the boy's eyes was completely extinguished.

As his last faint breath faded, the heart rate monitor beside the operating table emitted a rapid, sharp beeping sound.

The green wavy line on the screen, after jumping wildly a few times, suddenly straightened and became a lifeless horizontal line.

"drop--"

A piercing screech shattered the deathly silence of the operating room.

The sound was like the pronouncement of death.

Jiang Tingxue's body trembled violently, and the color drained from her pretty face, which was covered by heavy makeup.

died……

Even though she knew it was Lin Chen's scam, the shock from her forensic instincts when she saw a vital sign disappear before her eyes still caused her heart to stop.

"Hold!"

Lin Chen, who plays the "Butcher," instantly had his greedy expression replaced by fury.

He kicked the base of the operating table with a loud "bang"!

"Damn it! Useless!"

He was like a mad beast, pointing at the "corpse" with a ferocious expression, cursing loudly.

"What kind of junk did that bastard Wu Qian give me? I only got half the dose of anesthetic, and I'm already fucking dead!"

"With such poor health, why would you choose to sell yourself?!"

His acting skills have reached a state of perfection.

The rage in his eyes, the twitching scar from anger, every spittle he spat out while cursing—all were impeccably real.

"Clang! Clang!"

He grabbed a stainless steel scalpel from the tray, and without even looking at it, slammed it onto the smooth floor tiles, making a series of crisp, ear-piercing sounds.

The Butcher's rage seemed to ignite Lily's fury as well.

Jiang Tingxue immediately got into character, hands on her hips, eyebrows raised, and cursed in a sharp, sarcastic tone:

"We've suffered a huge loss! Wu Qian has to give us an explanation! We can't afford to lose a single penny!"

The two actors, working in perfect harmony, vividly portrayed a pair of greedy, violent, and vengeful outlaws.

The security camera outside the door faithfully recorded everything.

Soon, the operating room door was pushed open.

Dr. Wu Qian, the attending physician, walked in. He glanced at the electrocardiogram, then bent down to check the boy's pupils and pulse, his brows furrowed.

"Dead?"

"nonsense!"

Lin Chen roared in annoyance.

"You don't trust my skills? It's because the goods you supplied were of such poor quality! How are we going to settle this?!"

Wu Qian's face was also very ugly. The buyer of this batch of "goods" was of noble status, and now that something had gone wrong, he would have a hard time explaining himself.

He waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, stop arguing! The money will still be paid."

He waved to the door, and two burly men in cleaning uniforms walked in. They quickly untied the boy's "cold" body from the operating table and dragged it out like a dead dog.

Their target was the freezers on the basement floor.

That's the final destination for all the defective products that "failed to be processed".

As she watched the boy being dragged away, Jiang Tingxue's fingernails dug deeply into her palms.

Lin Chen succeeded.

He saved this young life in the most dangerous way.

"Damn it, what bad luck!"

Lin Chen spat on the ground, roughly ripped off his blood-stained gloves, and threw them into the medical waste bin.

He put his arm around Jiang Tingxue's waist, pinched her buttocks with his large hand, and walked out while cursing.

"Let's go to the restroom and wash away the bad luck!"

Wu Qian was preoccupied with the loss of the "goods" and had no time to pay attention to the vulgar couple. He simply waved his hand impatiently.

The restroom is at the other end of the corridor.

But the moment Lin Chen turned a corner and made sure he was out of Wu Qian's sight, he suddenly turned around!

He did not go to the restroom.

Instead, he took Jiang Tingxue and slipped into an inconspicuous equipment maintenance passage!

This passage was the shortcut to the core server room that he found last night from that top-secret 3D map!

Almost at the same second I stepped into the passage.

Lin Chen's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change!

The "butcher" who was previously full of banditry, violence, and eccentricity has disappeared.

Instead, a top agent with calm eyes and a composed demeanor has taken his place!

He pulled Jiang Tingxue along, speeding through the maze-like pipes and lines. Every turn and every dodge was so precise, it was as if it had been measured with a ruler.

Jiang Tingxue was pulled along by him, feeling only the wind whistling in her ears and the scenery rushing past her eyes, her mind going blank.

Less than thirty seconds.

The two had already silently appeared at the back door of the server room.

This is the nerve center of the entire underground kingdom!

Inside the server room, dozens of servers were humming, and the eerie blue indicator lights flickered like will-o'-the-wisps.

Lin Chen walked straight to the main computer, pulled out a chair, sat down, and inserted a mini USB drive into the port.

There was no longer any pretense on his face.

Those deep eyes were clear and cold, like an icy pool.

[God-level hacking skills], fully activated!

The next second, his hands landed on the keyboard.

There was no probing, no unnecessary actions.

That was a storm of code!

His ten fingers became phantoms, the tapping sounds as dense as a summer night's downpour, playing a destructive symphony in the deathly silent server room!

On the screen, firewalls were instantly torn apart!

Encrypted folders were cracked one by one by brute force!

The entire intranet system was as fragile as an infant in front of Lin Chen!

List of key clients!

Transaction history!

Ironclad video evidence of collusion between government and business!

Those evils hidden in the deepest darkness, enough to turn the entire Jiangcheng upside down, flooded into the USB drive like a tidal wave!

The progress bar is jumping wildly on the screen!

80%...

90%...

95%...

Jiang Tingxue stood nervously behind him, forgetting even to breathe.

She looked at Lin Chen's cold profile and his fingers dancing on the keyboard, her heart pounding wildly.

Just how many secrets does this man still hold?

99%...

100%!

[Core data download complete!]

That is, the instant the data transmission is completed!

An unexpected change occurred!

"Waaaaah—waaaah—!"

The entire basement was suddenly torn apart by a piercing alarm!

At the top of the wall, blood-red alarm lights flashed wildly, staining every inch of space with an ominous crimson hue!

On the main computer screen, a huge, blood-dripping skull popped up, emitting a piercing warning!

[Alert! Core database has been illegally accessed! Level 1 Alert!]

exposed!

……

Operating room number one.

Sun Changming was enjoying the thrill of cutting through life; the scalpel in his hand was like an artist's paintbrush, elegant yet cruel.

The sudden alarm made his hand tremble, causing the scalpel to veer off course and instantly sever the "patient's" aorta on the operating table!

Blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over his head and face!

"waste!"

Ignoring the "client" who was bleeding profusely, Sun Changming shoved his assistant aside.

That face, which always wore a warm smile, was now ashen, contorted like a demon!

He stumbled and rushed toward the monitoring room next door!

The moment he rushed to the monitor screen and pulled up the server room footage, he was struck dumb, frozen in place!

on the screen.

The "butcher," who should have been washing away bad luck in the bathroom, was sitting quietly in front of his main computer.

He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, the smoke swirling around him.

His fingers had just lifted off the keyboard.

His eyes, clear, cold, and even slightly mocking, were staring coldly at Sun Changming through the camera!

Where was even a trace of the murky, lustful look in those eyes?!

Sun Changming stared intently at the "Core data download complete" notification in the lower right corner of the screen, his mind going completely blank!

been played!

From beginning to end, I was completely played like a monkey by this bastard who appeared out of nowhere!

"Aaaaaahh ...

An uncontrollable rage surged straight to the top of his head!

Sun Changming felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. He grabbed the walkie-talkie on the table and, in an almost roaring voice, issued the most vicious command of his life!

"All security personnel! Head to the server room immediately!"

"That butcher is an undercover agent! He's a cop!"

"Leave no survivors! Kill him! Chop him into mincemeat!!"

After giving the order, Sun Changming watched the surveillance footage as dozens of security personnel armed with submachine guns surged toward the server room like a tide.

A flash of extreme madness and ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.

He turned and rushed to the wall, pulled open an oil painting, revealing a scarlet emergency button behind it.

Without hesitation, he slammed down hard!

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening explosion!

At the entrance to the computer room, the heavy alloy explosion-proof door slammed down, completely sealing off the only exit!

At the same time, dozens of hidden nozzles on the ceiling slowly descended and began to release deadly colorless poison gas!

Self-destruct program activated!

After doing all this, Sun Changming didn't even glance at the "client" still convulsing on the operating table. He turned and rushed towards another secret escape route that only he knew about.

He would bury that bastard who dared to defy him, along with all the secrets here!

May they never be reincarnated!
