Early in the morning, there was a stir of exciting commotion at the venue of the Asian Science Technological Forum, thanks to a microchip—more advanced, it was said, than even Gerton Company's Scaled Dragon 845 Microchip. Many cell phone manufacturers had hurried here because of the news. There were also many reporters and famous personages from all over the world. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a world sensation. After all, the fervor over this chip was not over yet—it was still raging thanks to the timing of this forum.
Ning Tao must be the only one still sober at the forum. He did not believe Bai Sheng could come up with any advanced microchip. What he could not understand was this: if the microchip had come from Hanks in America, it could likely be manufactured by Gerton Company. What sinister scheme were they hatching now?
One after another, all the guests had trod on the red carpet and taken out their invitation cards to register. Report
But Ning Tao's finger on the trigger did not pull. If he were to kill Bai Sheng here, he would be the sensation of the world—a clinic doctor killing a genius who had just come up with the Divine Microchip. What followed would be a manhunt from all quarters. He could never roam the streets again like he did in the past, or even develop the Shenzhou Charity Company to earn merits of good intention. Even if he escaped arrest, he would surely die because of the lack of treatment fees. But when he thought of those girls who were hideously slew, and Bai Sheng's coercion of Qing Zhui and Bai Jing, he felt an irrepressible rage arise in his heart. Facing this wicked fiend, his malicious side had surfaced and it would be hard for him to control it. This was the reason why he pulled out this refined Mauser pistol. " 'I rest within the womb, listening to the sound of the Way.' " Ning Tao's heart quietly chanted the first line of Your Text.
At the door, Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xian'er paid him respects with clasped hands. Although Ning Tao was opposed to Bai Sheng, these two youths were still as polite as Young Pioneers. Ning Tao's gaze swept past the faces of this couple. His heart could not help but sigh a little. Why were such fine youths so loyal to Bai Sheng, that villain? Although he lamented this in his heart, Ning Tao said nothing. He went to the entrance from where he had entered. Soon, he could see Joanna among the guests. She was chatting with Bai Jing, looking very amiable. Bai Sheng obviously did not send Bai Jing an invitation. But given her abilities, Bai Jing could easily sneak in without anyone being able to stop her—unless it was Bai Sheng himself. Ning Tao wanted to go over, but the voice of a woman speaking in English suddenly rang out from behind him. "Excuse me... are you Doctor Ning?" Ning Tao turned around and found a middle-aged white woman ent
"When you see this letter of mine, I might no longer be alive in this world. Either you or they would have killed me. I'm sure you know who "they" are. When I received the order to execute this operation, I could already foresee my end, because they wanted me to bring along my wife. I knew why I must do that, but I had no other choice. "If it was you who had killed me, believe me, I would not hate you. We are enemies and our scheme is so despicable. So it is only right for you to kill me. What I want to tell you is this: I love my wife very, very much. She is the only treasure I have in this world. She is the most precious gift God has given me. For her, I am willing to do anything—even if it means going against the whole world. "Before the operation, I received lots of detailed information on you. I know you are someone I can trust. Although we are enemies, I know you will help me and protect my wife. She is a kind woman. My sins are heavy and I deserve
The opening ceremony had already begun. It was that familiar procedure—a leader giving the opening address: be down-to-earth and look ahead to the future; work together in a win-win situation. Bai Sheng was standing on the stage, his white Chinese Tang costume so tidy that there was not a crease or wrinkle to it. His excessively pretty face made him look like a popular star, not any leader of a technological enterprise. There was a combination lock box in Bai Sheng's hand. One end of its chain was fastened to his wrist. The Divine Microchip was in that box. Ning Tao's eyes landed on that combination lock box. He summoned the states of looking and smelling in his eyes and nose. Unfortunately, he could see nothing but the box. He could detect no other odor except that of the box itself. Bai Sheng's gaze shifted over and fixed on Ning Tao. Ning Tao was also staring at Bai Sheng. The expression in his ey
It was a female reporter, not tall but with a very nice figure. Her bosom and butt were large and curvaceous. Her face, on the other hand, was quite ordinary, but her black and beady eyes added to her allure. She looked most feminine. Ning Tao had unquestionably never seen this woman before. But the odor he caught from her with his nose pointed to one person—Tang Zixian. Ning Tao suddenly remembered the paper talisman of Tang Sect, never imparted to outsiders—the Yingu Soul-suppressing Talisman. It was the same kind of paper talisman as that "sanitary napkin". "So it's you!" Ning Tao's lips said instinctively. His right hand moved back and was about to draw out his knife. "Don't act rashly. If I scream, you will be in trouble. I'm not here to fight you," Tang Zixian said. Ning Tao brought his hand forward again. "So what do you want?" Tang Zixian raised her camera and took another photo of the stage.
The chairman of the Changtian Group, Yang Long, had gone to the restroom and had been knocked unconsciousness. The Apocalypse smart watch he had just won had been robbed. Such sensational news soon spread in the exhibition hall, and later in the internet, disseminated by many. It generated new discussions. But they were more interested in the Apocalypse watch with the holographic video chat function. Many were wondering: since when had we overtaken Europe, the U.S. and Japan in technology? In the rented apartment, Ning Tao stretched his hand out to Qing Zhui. "Give it to me. I would like to see that watch." Both Qing Zhui's hands were behind her. Her smile was enticing. "To rob that watch, I had to go into a male restroom. It's so disgusting. What will you reward me with?" Ning Tao rolled his eyes at her. "Don't be cheeky. Give it to me." Qing Zhui retreated one step. "No, I won't, I won't." Ning Tao was rendered
Ning Tao returned to the study table again, staring fixedly at Bai Sheng's hologram with hollow eyes. Along with the blood on his face, body, and hands, he looked like a psychopathic, cold-blooded killer who had just murdered someone. "Hahaha!" Bai Sheng laughed heartily. Ning Tao did not react at all, keeping the empty expression and gaze on his face. Bai Sheng stopped after laughing for a while, saying sinisterly, "Who asked you to betray me! Those who do so can only die! Don't you all like him? It must not feel nice to be killed by him personally, right?" He was obviously not speaking to Ning Tao, but rather, to Qing Zhui and Bai Jing. Ning Tao did not react at all. Bai Sheng continued speaking, "Now, use your knife to split your own throat open." Ning Tao did not hesitate at all. He lifted his right arm, which was holding onto the Blade of the Solar Eclipse, and promptly cut his own
As night fell, it started to rain. The temperature had dropped significantly due to the autumn shower and the wind blowing from the river. The sudden downpour had chased all the people away from the harbor, only a few fishing boats were left swaying in the waters. There was also a fairly luxurious yacht, which was lit up but there was no sign of people moving on it. Ning Tao put down the God's Will electric motorbike's kickstand, and stood beside the bike, surveying his surroundings. It was 10 minutes before 8 p.m. when he and Tang Zixian had decided to meet, but there was not a person to be seen at the empty harbor. He furrowed his brows instinctively. "Is she fooling me?" A sound came from behind him, like that of a kung fu master running rapidly across the water. Ning Tao turned around and spread out the Unbreakable Fan as his other hand grabbed onto the Mauser pistol at his waist. Yet, it was not Tang Zixian who was walking
