You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The visit concluded in a "friendly and warm" atmosphere.

As night fell, to show his respect for the Ye Group, Zhao Changsheng hosted a grand banquet at the company's private club on the top floor.

Inside the luxurious private room, huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of the dazzling nightscape of Jiangcheng.

The table was laden with top-quality caviar, bluefin tuna sashimi, and a variety of delicacies.

Ye Qingcheng elegantly cut a small piece of Kobe beef, perfectly playing the role of an aloof female CEO who has little interest in business and only cares about the quality of food.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, became the main character of the banquet.

Zhao Changsheng, holding a glass of expensive Romanée-Conti, sat down next to Lin Chen, a meaningful smile on his refined and amiable face.

"Consultant Lin is truly young and promising. To be so highly regarded by President Ye at such a young age, his future is limitless."

Zhao Changsheng's words sounded like flattery, but his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were like a snake, scrutinizing and probing.

Lin Chen smiled, raised his wine glass, and gently clinked it against his.

"Mr. Zhao, you flatter me. I was just lucky and only know a little bit about it."

"Oh? Just the fur?"

Zhao Changsheng took a sip of red wine, his eyes growing increasingly sinister.

"I heard that a consultant surnamed Lin recently came to the Municipal Bureau. He is also a young man, and it is said that he is extremely capable. Even a vicious criminal like Prajna has fallen into his hands."

He stared intently into Lin Chen's eyes, trying to discern even the slightest flaw from his micro-expressions.

"Does Consultant Lin know this Consultant Lin from the police force?"

This is the most direct test.

The atmosphere inside the private room seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ye Qingcheng paused slightly as she cut the steak, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the knife and fork, a hint of tension rising in her heart.

However, Lin Chen's face remained completely expressionless.

He didn't even answer Zhao Changsheng's question directly.

[God-level Biology Mastery], now unlocked!

Lin Chen shifted his gaze from Zhao Changsheng's face to the plate of crystal-clear, finely textured bluefin tuna sashimi on the table.

He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and began to speak slowly in a calm tone, as if discussing an academic issue.

"Mr. Zhao's expertise in bioengineering is indeed among the best in the world."

His opening remarks surprised Zhao Changsheng slightly, who thought that his probing had been cleverly diverted from the topic.

But Lin Chen's next words caused his smile to freeze on his face, inch by inch.

"Take this plate of tuna, for example,"

Lin Chen pointed to the plate of sashimi.

"The average chef only knows that it's delicious."

"But what I see is myoglobin, which makes up as much as 2% of its muscle cells, and a unique heme structure that it has evolved to adapt to the high-pressure environment of the deep sea."

"This is quite similar to what your company is researching, Mr. Zhao."

Lin Chen spoke slowly, but every word struck Zhao Changsheng's heart.

"On the surface, your Changsheng Technology is using CRISPR gene editing technology to develop targeted drugs to conquer cancer, which is a great cause that benefits all mankind."

Lin Chen abruptly changed the subject, his voice turning cold.

"But in reality, you are using the same technology to reverse engineer a perfect assassination tool that only exists in theory—'gene-targeted poison'."

"As long as you can extract a DNA sample of the target, such as a hair or a dandruff, you can use gene sequencing to find the unique 'defect' or 'characteristic' sites in its gene sequence."

"Then, we created an RNA interferon that works only against this specific site."

"For other people, this interferon is just like plain water when they drink it; it's completely harmless."

"But for the target, it is like a precision-guided key that opens the 'gate of death' in his body, shutting down the synthesis of a key protein at the genetic level, causing him to die from multiple organ failure in a short period of time."

"After his death, forensic experts were unable to detect any known toxins in his body, ultimately attributing it to some rare, unexplained sudden illness."

As Lin Chen finished speaking, he slowly turned his head and looked directly at Zhao Changsheng's bloodless face.

"Professor Zhong Huaqing, it was because he inadvertently discovered your devilish secret during the last academic exchange that you used this method to silence him, right?"

"Am I right, Mr. Zhao?"

Upon hearing this, it was as if all the air in the private room had been sucked out!

Ye Qingcheng was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

Although she knew Lin Chen was investigating a case, she never expected that the truth would be so unbelievable and shocking!

Zhao Changsheng's refined demeanor and hypocrisy were shattered at this moment!

His hand holding the wine glass trembled violently, and the scarlet wine spilled onto the expensive white tablecloth like a pool of glaring blood.

His refined eyes were now filled with nothing but shock, fear, and a frenzied killing intent after his greatest secret had been exposed!

He saw himself as a monstrous beast lurking in the deep sea, he believed his crimes to be flawless and perfect, and he considered himself a "god" who controlled the lives and deaths of others...

All of this was seen clearly and analyzed thoroughly by this seemingly harmless young consultant through just one visit and one dinner!

Ding!

The system's notification sounded coldly in Lin Chen's mind.

Target detected: Zhao Changsheng

[Sin Value: 125000...180000...250000!]

[Sin Level: Extremely Dangerous! Murderous intent has been detected!]

The numbers above Zhao Changsheng's head skyrocketed in just a few seconds, turning from bright red to a shocking deep purple!

He looked at Lin Chen, and slowly squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than crying from his distorted face.

"Advisor Lin... who exactly are you?"
