The small single sofa in the forensic lab's break room witnessed the molten lava from the melting iceberg in the latter half of the night.

As the first rays of dawn shone through the gaps in the blinds, Jiang Tingxue finally fell into a deep sleep. A trace of satisfied moisture clung to her long eyelashes, and her pretty face, which always appeared sickly pale, now glowed with a healthy and captivating blush.

Lin Chen covered her with a light blanket and left quietly.

His body had been reshaped by the [God-level Gene Enhancement Fluid], and his energy seemed inexhaustible. The deep exchange that night did not make him feel tired at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of comfort as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened.

When I returned to my mother Shen Manyun's small tea room, it was just past eight in the morning.

Lin Chen changed out of the Armani suit that was tinged with ambiguity, put on a simple white T-shirt and casual pants, and lay on the familiar rocking chair in the backyard, feeling the long-lost tranquility.

With the arrest of Zhao Changsheng and the entire chain of interests behind him, the case of Changsheng Technology has come to a complete end.

Just as he closed his eyes to rest and enjoy this moment of salted fish, that familiar voice arrived in his mind as expected.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on completing this epic series of missions: Crush the Genetic Killing Trap!]

[Mission Rating: SSS+ (Complete Overwhelming)!]

[Settlement in progress...]

[Cash reward: 5 million RMB, already transferred to the host's designated account.]

[Skill Reward: God-Level Actuary Mastery - The host has gained insight into the probability and trajectory of all things. Your brain will become a super-high-dimensional quantum computer, capable of completing the most complex probability deductions, ballistic calculations, and risk modeling in an instant!]

[All attributes +30!]

As the system notification sound faded, a torrent of information, larger and more complex than ever before, instantly flooded Lin Chen's brain.

This time, it's neither the cellular structure of biology nor the mechanical principles of physics.

It is pure, cold, and represents the ultimate order of the universe—mathematics.

From every variable in parabolic motion to the Navier-Stokes equations in fluid mechanics; from the random trajectory of Brownian motion to the collapse probability of quantum superposition states... countless complex mathematical models, formulas, and logical matrices were rapidly constructed, deduced, and then solidified in his mind, eventually becoming an instinct for him.

Now, when he looks at a falling leaf, he no longer sees a poetic scene, but a falling trajectory accurate to twelve decimal places, determined by wind speed, gravity, air resistance, and initial angle.

He felt as if his brain had become a supercomputer capable of predicting the future.

Just as Lin Chen was experiencing this wonderful new feeling of being in control of all probabilities, his mother, Shen Manyun, suddenly answered the phone in the inner room of the tea room.

"Hey? Old Lin, where are you? Didn't you say you'd be done after this delivery today...?"

Shen Manyun's voice was normal, carrying the familiarity of everyday speech and a hint of barely perceptible concern.

But the next second, her voice stopped abruptly.

Lin Chen's ears twitched. His [God-level Hearing] allowed him to clearly hear an extremely noisy and panicked voice coming from the other end of the phone, mixed with the sound of sirens and wind.

"...Are you Mr. Lin Zhiyuan's family? This is the accident scene on the G32 coastal highway. A truck with license plate number Jiang A-7749 was involved in a serious accident, crashed through the guardrail, and plunged off a cliff. The driver..."

pat!

The phone in Shen Manyun's hand fell to the ground, and the screen shattered instantly.

She froze on the spot, the color draining from her face at a visible speed, turning her ashen white.

Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

"mom?"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly stood up from the rocking chair.

Shen Manyun felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She swayed and had to grab the table next to her to keep from falling.

She slowly turned her head to look at Lin Chen, her usually shrewd and capable eyes now filled with endless fear and despair.

"Chen'er..."

Her voice trembled like a leaf falling in the wind.

"Your dad...your dad was in a car accident!"

"On the coastal highway... a truck... a truck overturned off a cliff!"

boom!

Lin Chen's mind went completely blank, as if a bomb had exploded.

One second you're feeling the sense of control over a new skill, and the next you're completely shattered!

An indescribable, chillingly violent killing intent surged from his body!

The leaves of the orchids that Shen Manyun had carefully tended in the backyard trembled slightly under the impact of this palpable killing intent.

All the expressions on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a deathly stillness like that of ancient ice.

Those eyes, which always carried a hint of lazy smile, were now as black as ink, unfathomable, churning with a madness powerful enough to drag the entire world into hell.

"Mom, don't be afraid, I'm here."

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the murderous intent that was almost driving him to madness, and quickly walked to his mother's side, supporting her cold, trembling body, and comforting her in an extremely calm voice.

"Stay home and don't go anywhere. Wait for my call."

After saying that, he grabbed the RS7 car keys from the table and rushed out of the tea room without looking back.

A black Audi RS7 roared like a beast on the quiet street, its tires leaving a glaring black mark on the ground, transforming into a black lightning bolt as it sped off towards the coastal highway.

Inside the car, Lin Chen gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He remained silent, but his eyes, reflecting the rapidly receding street scene, burned with a flame that threatened to destroy everything.

Half an hour later, on the G32 coastal highway.

From afar, Lin Chen could see the row of flashing police lights and the long cordon that had been set up.

The cab of a heavy truck had completely broken through the sturdy alloy guardrail, with half of the truck body hanging precariously over a cliff hundreds of meters high.

Below the cliff, the waves crashed against the rocks, creating a deafening roar.

Lin Chen slammed on the brakes outside the cordon, opened the car door, and rushed over.

The place was a mess.

Firefighters have secured the truck with steel cables, and rescuers are using hydraulic shears to dismantle the severely deformed cab.

Lin Chen pushed through the crowd and immediately spotted the figure covered in blood and wrapped in an emergency blanket on the stretcher.

Although his face was covered in blood, he recognized him at a glance.

It was his father, Lin Zhiyuan.

The man who always beat him with a stick and said, "I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son," but who would quietly cook him a bowl of noodles after he stayed up all night.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, he was wearing an oxygen mask, and various monitoring instruments were connected to his body; he was in a deep coma.

Medical staff are giving him emergency treatment.

"The patient has intracranial hemorrhage, multiple rib fractures, a comminuted fracture of the left leg, and extremely weak vital signs! Immediately transfer him to the city's central hospital for emergency treatment!"

Lin Chen stood there, watching his father being lifted into the ambulance, which sped away with its sirens blaring.

His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

He did not go to the hospital with her.

He knew the hospital had the best doctors, but he had more important things to do while he stayed.

He wanted to find out how all of this had happened!
