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

Zhao Changsheng's voice was hoarse and dry, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.

He knew he had been exposed.

From the moment Lin Chen uttered the words "gene-targeted poison," tonight's banquet ceased to be a business negotiation and became a life-or-death struggle.

When the first plan failed, Zhao Changsheng immediately launched the second plan without any hesitation.

His right hand was under the table, seemingly casually adjusting his posture, but in reality, he had silently pressed an extremely hidden emergency button under the table.

Almost simultaneously, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.

A voluptuous waitress in a cheongsam walked in carrying a tray, a sweet, professional smile on her face.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Ye, Consultant Lin, this is a hangover soup we specially prepared for you. It is made from a variety of precious herbs and can relieve the discomfort after drinking."

She placed three steaming bowls of soup, each with a faint medicinal aroma, in front of the three people.

Zhao Changsheng picked up the bowl in front of him, the shock on his face had subsided, and he had regained his composure with a forced smile.

"Consultant Lin is really joking. We are a legitimate biotechnology company, how could we do something so heinous?"

He raised the soup bowl, looked at Lin Chen, and gave him a sinister smile.

"Come on, no matter how scary the joke was, business is business."

"Drink this soup as a wish for a pleasant cooperation in the future."

His gaze was as if he were looking at a dead man.

Ye Qingcheng's heart jumped into her throat, and she instinctively wanted to stop Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, no..."

Lin Chen raised his hand and gave her a reassuring look.

His god-like sense of smell and danger perception had already sounded the alarm the moment the waiter entered with the tray!

The two bowls of hangover soup given to Ye Qingcheng and him contained a trace amount of a colorless and odorless special substance.

The molecular structure of this substance perfectly matches the gene sequence on the gauze sample that he had deliberately left in the hospital, which was stained with his own DNA!

Zhao Changsheng is indeed a meticulous madman.

After learning that Elder Zhong had been saved by a "mysterious master", he immediately sent people to infiltrate the hospital and collect biological samples from everyone present at the time, including Lin Chen's.

He "tailor-made" this fatal "gift" for Lin Chen.

As long as Lin Chen drinks this soup, the RNA interferon in it will instantly shut down the sodium ion channels in his heart muscle cells.

His heart will be completely paralyzed within 0.3 seconds, and he will be in a permanent state of cessation.

Furthermore, no signs of poisoning can be found afterward.

This was a perfect, undefendable genetic assassination.

Unfortunately, he was facing Lin Chen.

A person with a "god-level anti-toxin constitution," physically "immune to all poisons."

Looking at Zhao Changsheng's smug expression, Lin Chen couldn't help but find it laughable.

But he didn't drink it right away.

That kind of slap in the face isn't thorough enough, nor is it shocking enough.

He wanted to psychologically destroy this madman who called himself "God".

Lin Chen picked up the soup bowl, smelled it, and showed an expression of admiration on his face.

"Hmm, it's definitely a good soup, but..."

He changed the subject and said slowly.

"It feels like a waste for me to drink such good stuff all by myself."

"How about we share it with a 'friend'?"

As he spoke, under the puzzled gazes of Zhao Changsheng and Ye Qingcheng, Lin Chen reached into the cuff of his suit jacket.

The next second, he pulled a small, furry white creature out of his sleeve.

It was that little white mouse he had taken from the lab!

The little white mouse was hopping around energetically, its red eyes curiously surveying the unfamiliar environment.

"you!"

The moment Zhao Changsheng saw the white mouse, his pupils contracted violently!

He recognized it as one of the test subjects used in their lab for the first batch of toxicity tests!

How did it get here?

Lin Chen ignored his shock and used a chopstick to dip a drop of the glistening soup from his bowl.

Then, he gently dripped this deadly "poison" onto the mouse's mouth.

The little white mouse stuck out its pink tongue and licked the drop of soup into its mouth.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

……

Ten seconds passed.

The anticipated scene of the white mouse convulsing, collapsing, and dying instantly did not occur at all!

After licking the soup, the little white mouse smacked its lips and continued to hop around on Lin Chen's palm, even nibbling at his nails with interest, looking more energetic than before.

Zhao Changsheng's expression froze.

The muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably, and his eyes were so wide they looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"No...impossible...this is absolutely impossible!"

He let out a roar of disbelief.

"I saw the test data with my own eyes; a dose of 0.1 micrograms is enough to kill an adult elephant in three seconds! Why... why is it unharmed?!"

Lin Chen looked at his face, which was distorted by the collapse of his worldview, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Mr. Zhao, it seems your targeted drug development is still not quite there yet."

He explained slowly.

"Do you think that once you get my DNA sample, you can kill me?"

"Unfortunately, the DNA sample you used to make this 'poison' was bait that I deliberately left in the hospital."

"This poison is ineffective against it."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, under Zhao Changsheng's ghost-like gaze, he picked up the soup bowl in front of him.

"It's even less effective on me!"

He tilted his head back and drank the bowl of poison, which would have been fatal to an ordinary person, in one gulp!

Then, he put down the soup bowl unharmed, and even smacked his lips in satisfaction, as if he were savoring some unparalleled delicacy.

At this moment, Zhao Changsheng's spirit was completely shattered.

His pride in his wisdom, his self-proclaimed perfect technology, his power to control the life and death of others... were like a flawed toy in the hands of a kindergarten child in front of Lin Chen, exposed in public with the most contemptuous and cruel methods, and then trampled underfoot and crushed to pieces!

The immense drop from the clouds to hell drove him completely insane.
