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

The Beijing Police Headquarters, three underground floors.

This is the highest-security biochemical autopsy room in the entire police station, specifically used to handle evidence containing highly infectious agents or unknown toxins.

The heavy, airtight door completely isolates the inside from the outside.

Jiang Tingxue was wearing a bulky and heavy white positive pressure protective suit and a fully enclosed gas mask, standing in front of the dissection table.

On the dissection table lay the sealed bag containing the bronze animal head.

In the observation room, Su Qingge stared at the situation inside through the bulletproof glass, her brows furrowed.

After delivering the goods, Lin Chen went straight to the interrogation room to question the bald stall owner without even drinking a sip of water, trying to uncover the person behind the scenes.

"Tingxue, is everything alright?" Su Qingge asked through the internal communicator.

"All indicators are normal, the indoor negative pressure system is working well, prepare to open the sealed bag to extract surface residue." Jiang Tingxue's calm and professional voice came from the speaker.

Jiang Tingxue took a deep breath, picked up the specially made medical scissors, and carefully cut open a corner of the sealed bag.

She picked up a long-handled cotton swab, preparing to probe inside and scrape the powder off the surface of the animal head.

The moment the sealed bag was opened.

A slight mechanical clicking sound suddenly came from the ventilation ducts above the dissection room—"click".

Immediately afterwards, the green indicator light representing the negative pressure system on the control panel flashed twice and then turned a glaring red!

The roar of the exhaust fan stopped abruptly.

The air that should have been quickly drawn away suddenly stopped.

That deadly, sweet-smelling odor, mixed with poison powder, spread rapidly throughout the autopsy room!

All of this happened so fast that the alarm system didn't even have time to sound an alarm.

Jiang Tingxue had just put the cotton swab into the bag when she suddenly felt a strong wave of dizziness.

Something is wrong!

The protective suit's filter mask couldn't completely block this ancient poison that had been modified by modern chemicals!

The toxin molecules are so tiny that they can penetrate the filter directly.

Jiang Tingxue felt a burning pain in her respiratory tract, as if her lungs were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and a strong feeling of suffocation instantly surged into her brain.

"Negative pressure...failed...toxic..."

Jiang Tingxue pressed the emergency button on the communicator with difficulty, uttering a few words intermittently, and the cotton swab in her hand fell to the ground.

Her legs gave way, and she collapsed heavily beside the dissection table, her body beginning to convulse violently and uncontrollably.

When Su Qingge saw this scene in the observation room, her mind went blank and her face turned deathly pale.

"Tingxue! Tingxue, what's wrong?!"

Su Qingge frantically pounded on the bulletproof glass and shouted loudly, but there was no response from inside.

She turned abruptly and rushed toward the heavy, airtight door.

She knew it contained deadly poison, but she couldn't just stand by and watch her best friend die inside.

Just as Su Qingge's hand touched the airtight door handle...

A strong, large hand grabbed her arm from behind and yanked her back.

"Don't move! This poison can penetrate through the skin's pores; going in will just be suicide!"

Lin Chen had arrived at the third basement level at some point. His eyes were terrifyingly cold, radiating a murderous aura that seemed almost tangible.

He had just discovered in the interrogation room that the bald man really didn't know anything, and sensing something was wrong, he rushed downstairs, but unexpectedly, trouble still occurred.

"Husband! Tingxue is inside! Quickly save her!" Su Qingge cried out in desperation.

Lin Chen didn't waste any words.

He immediately activated [God-level Danger Perception] and [God-level Anti-toxin Physique]!

Faced with this highly toxic substance that could penetrate even the highest level of protective clothing, Lin Chen didn't even put on a protective suit and went straight to the airtight door that weighed several hundred kilograms.

He took a deep breath, his right leg muscles tensed instantly, and the power of [Advanced Body Enhancement] exploded without reservation.

Bang—boom!

A deafening roar.

The airtight door, made of special steel and requiring a password and fingerprint to open, was actually kicked out of shape by Lin Chen, and the lock shattered!

The gate collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lin Chen held his breath and, like a furious cheetah, charged straight into the gas-filled dissection room.

He scooped up Jiang Tingxue, who had fallen to the ground, and held her in his arms.

At this moment, Jiang Tingxue's lips had turned purple, her face was as pale as paper, she was breathing more in than out, and her vital signs were rapidly deteriorating.

Lin Chen moved extremely quickly, tearing off Jiang Tingxue's gas mask.

He quickly pulled out the Hetian jade pendant he had just given to Jiang Tingxue that morning from his pocket.

Lin Chen exerted force with his fingers, directly crushing the surface of the jade pendant, and a black pill emitting a faint medicinal fragrance rolled into his palm.

It was the "calming pill" that he had prepared in advance!

Lin Chen pried open Jiang Tingxue's mouth and stuffed the calming pill into her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen reached around his waist with his right hand and acupuncture kit appeared in his hand.

[Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine] at full speed!

Lin Chen pulled out three silver needles, his hands moving like afterimages as he pierced Jiang Tingxue's head with incredible speed and precision, targeting the three vital acupoints: Baihui, Shenting, and Renzhong.

"The Three Powers Protect the Heart Formation!"

Lin Chen flicked the needle tip lightly, and his internal energy surged into Jiang Tingxue's body through the silver needle, protecting her heart meridian and simultaneously catalyzing the effects of the Qingxin Pill.

Time passed by, second by second.

Half a minute later.

Jiang Tingxue's purplish lips finally began to slowly regain their rosy color, and her rapid breathing gradually became steady.

She let out a long moan and slowly opened her heavy eyelids.

As the blurry vision cleared, Lin Chen's anxious yet stern face came into view.

"Husband..." Jiang Tingxue's voice was weak, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears slid down her cheeks.

For a moment just now, she really thought she was going to die.

Lin Chen watched her wake up, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He gently picked up Jiang Tingxue and strode out of the dissection room.

"It's alright, your husband is here, no one can take you away," Lin Chen gently comforted the woman in his arms.

Su Qingge rushed over, tears streaming down her face, and helped Lin Chen to help Jiang Tingxue to a rest chair outside.

After confirming that Jiang Tingxue was completely out of danger.

Lin Chen stood up, turned to look at the ventilation ducts on the ceiling of the dissection room, and a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

How could the negative pressure system in the highest-level biochemistry lab of the General Administration break down so easily?

And it broke the moment the sealed bag was opened!

"Qingge, immediately seal off the entire police station. No one is allowed to enter or leave." Lin Chen's voice was as cold as ice.
