Chapter 203 I'd rather die than give you the antidote
Wei Hao closed his eyes, his tone indifferent: "Cold-blooded? Ha, this world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world."
"Do you think I care about other people's lives or deaths?"
Lin Quan's heart sank as he looked at Wei Hao's nonchalant expression.
He felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled Wei Hao's calm and ruthless demeanor when he secretly poisoned Tan Zhengchu.
"You're hopeless," Lin Quan said in a low voice, his tone filled with anger.
Wei Hao laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm: "Say what you will. Anyway, I've long been prepared to die."
"You want to torture me? Go ahead. But you'll never get the recipe."
Lin Quan stared at Wei Hao, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
He knew that what Wei Hao said was true.
This person no longer cares about his own life, let alone the lives of others.
"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" Lin Quan's voice was as cold as ice.
Wei Hao opened his eyes, his gaze defiant: "Then you try it."
Lin Quan remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked to the lab table.
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, his thoughts in disarray.
"Is there really no other way?" he muttered to himself.
On the one hand, he had to save Tan Zhengchu.
On the other hand, Wei Hao's ruthlessness made him feel angry and desperate.
"Perhaps I should change my approach." Lin Quan's gaze gradually hardened.
He glanced back at Wei Hao, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
"Wei Hao, you forced me to do this," he said in a low voice, his tone stern.
"Since you refuse to cooperate, I'll get the formula my own way."
The lights in the laboratory remained dim.
Lin Quan's back view appeared exceptionally lonely, yet full of strength.
He knew that the road ahead would be difficult.
But he had no other choice.
For Tan Zhengchu's sake, he had to persevere.
Even if there's an abyss ahead, he'll still try to brave it.
Just then, Lin Quan's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID; it was a student from the lab.
"Professor Lin, we've made a breakthrough in our experiment! Please come and take a look!" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of excitement.
Lin Quan's eyes lit up, but he quickly regained his composure: "Okay, I'll be right there."
He hung up the phone, turned to look at Wei Hao, and said coldly, "You'd better pray that I find the antidote soon, otherwise, you won't have a good ending."
Wei Hao sneered and did not respond.
Lin Quan said no more, turned and left the ward, locking the door behind him.
Wei Hao was the only one left in the room.
His eyes gradually turned cold, and hatred surged into his heart like a tide.
"Lin Quan, do you think you can make me submit like this?" he muttered to himself, his voice full of sarcasm.
Thinking of how Lin Quan had left in a hurry because of the progress of the experiment, Wei Hao's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Seeing you so anxious really makes me feel good," he murmured, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.
Just then, a soft sound came from the window.
Wei Hao turned his head and saw a figure nimbly vaulting in through the window.
It was a woman, dressed in a black bodysuit, with a butterfly-shaped mask on her face, mysterious and aloof.
"You've finally arrived." Wei Hao's voice carried a hint of anticipation.
The woman chuckled softly, her voice low and alluring: "Well done, Wei Hao."
She walked to the bedside, looked down at him, and said, "Your performance was even better than I expected."
A smug glint flashed in Wei Hao's eyes: "Where's the money?"
The woman took out a bank card from her pocket and waved it: "Don't worry, I promised you, I won't shortchange you a single penny."
She placed the card beside Wei Hao's bed, her tone seductive: "However, I'm curious, why do you hate Tan Zhengchu so much?"
Wei Hao hid the card in the air, his eyes instantly turning sinister: "Hate? Of course I hate you."
"Who does he think he is? A high and mighty CEO, a savior?"
"I want him to taste what it's like to lose the most important person in his life."
The woman chuckled softly, her tone approving: "Not bad, I admire your vengeful spirit."
She paused, then said, "But our original target was Su Yingxue, how did you become Tan Zhengchu?"
Wei Hao shrugged, his tone casual: "It was just a slip of the hand."
"But the result is not bad, is it?"
The woman nodded: "Indeed. Tan Zhengchu is one of the people Su Yingxue cares about most, so I can accept this outcome."
A glint of greed flashed in Wei Hao's eyes: "So, can you add a little more money?"
The woman narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a warning: "Don't push your luck, Wei Hao."
"You should think about how to escape first."
Wei Hao sneered and said nothing more.
In fact, this was Wei Hao's first real-life meeting with the mysterious woman.
A few days ago, the woman contacted him anonymously by phone, proposing to buy the virus and requesting that it be injected into Su Yingxue's body.
"Why Su Yingxue?" Wei Hao asked at the time.
The woman chuckled softly, her tone carrying a deeper meaning: "You don't need to know the reason. Just do as I say, and you won't be shortchanged by a single penny."
However, as things progressed, Wei Hao gradually understood her true purpose.
"The person you're actually dealing with is Tan Zhengchu, right?" Wei Hao stared at the woman's back, his tone probing.
The woman didn't turn around, but simply said, "You're very smart. However, knowing too much isn't good for you."
She turned around, her eyes cold beneath the mask: "Remember, the antidote prescription must be guarded and never given to Tan Zhengchu."
“I’m going to make Tan Zhengchu obey me and follow me. Otherwise, you won’t get a single penny.”
A sinister glint flashed in Wei Hao's eyes: "Listen to you? Ha, do you think Tan Zhengchu is someone who's so easy to control?"
"I don't care what you do." The woman's voice suddenly turned cold. "Just do as I say, and the money is yours."
Wei Hao sneered, his tone resolute: "Money? I don't want it. I'd rather see Tan Zhengchu dead."
"Even if we both perish, I'll take him down with me."
"Money is the most important thing," he muttered to himself, a hint of madness in his voice.
"As for Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue... what do their lives or deaths have to do with me?"
The woman's eyes suddenly darkened: "Wei Hao, don't be ungrateful."
"Our cooperation ends here."
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.
Wei Hao's eyes narrowed, and he quickly hid the bank card, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
The third brother walked in, his sharp eyes scanning the room: "Who's there?"
The woman reacted extremely quickly, leaping towards the window in a flash.
"Stop!" the third brother shouted, but the woman was faster and disappeared out the window in the blink of an eye.
The third brother rushed to the window, only to see a dark figure quickly disappear into the night.
He immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie: "Someone escaped! Seal off the area immediately and give chase!"
