C22 You Want to Kill Everyone!

"Lin Chen, I swear I'm going to your damn spicy neighborhood!"

"I swear, once I'm out of here, I'll make sure you and Ann Lan pay with your lives!"

Zhang Changsheng made a dash for the door, but upon realizing Lin Chen wasn't in pursuit, he paused, spun around, and bellowed in rage.

"Lin Chen, we can't let Zhang Changsheng get away!"

"If we do, we could end up behind bars!"

Hearing Zhang Changsheng's threats, Ann Lan snapped out of her initial shock, a look of urgency crossing her face.

Even she could piece together that Zhang Changsheng must have orchestrated the entire debacle.

If they could just apprehend Zhang Changsheng, the truth behind the customers' disfigurement could come to light!

"Relax, you hysterical woman, he's not slipping through my fingers."

Lin Chen cast a confident look towards Zhang Changsheng, who was trying to blend into the crowd.

Not slipping through your fingers?

He's nearly out the factory gate!

Before Ann Lan could utter a word, familiar figures burst forth from around the factory.

These were the security guards from Ann's Group!

"Thinking of taking out my boss and Director Ann?"

"I'll fry you, you son of a gun!"

Qian Duoduo, armed with an electric baton turned up to full power, mercilessly zapped Zhang Changsheng.

The others weren't spared either; they too were shocked by Wang Sheng, Doggy Lee, and the rest of the crew.

In under two minutes, Zhang Changsheng and his accomplices were all sprawled on the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

"Zhang Changsheng, remember my earlier warning?"

Lin Chen approached the fallen man, a cold smirk on his face.

"I..."

"Lin Chen, I'm begging you, let me go!"

"I swear, I had nothing to do with this..."

Zhang Changsheng pleaded, but before he could finish, Lin Chen crouched down and twisted his legs.

In a flash, Zhang Changsheng's legs were contorted grotesquely.

"Ah!"

He let out a series of agonized screams, his face ghostly white.

Sweat poured down his face, tracing lines along his cheeks.

"Lin Chen, I'll confess everything."

"I was the one who set up those reporters."

"And the disfigurement of those customers? That was my doing as well."

"But I was coerced into it by Chairman Lee. If I disobeyed him, he'd have me killed!"

Zhang Changsheng was screaming and explaining to Lin Chen at the same time.

He could see the murderous intent in Lin Chen's eyes, clear as day.

If he didn't come clean now, he feared he might not leave this place alive.

"Thinking of revealing the truth now? Sorry, it's too late for that!"

Lin Chen's eyebrows twitched, his eyes flashing with an icy gleam.

With that, he rose to his feet and brutally stomped on Zhang Changsheng's arms.

"Crack!"

Zhang Changsheng's cries pierced the air as his bones snapped.

Lin Chen didn't spare him another glance and headed straight for the reporters.

"Lin Chen, maybe we should let this go?"

"Don't escalate things further."

Ann Lan watched Lin Chen's menacing demeanor from a distance, her face etched with concern.

She believed the truth had come out; there was no need for such severe measures.

"Escalate things?"

"When they were humiliating you, did they think twice about showing mercy?"

Lin Chen's sneer was cold as he faced the quivering reporters.

"You bullied my wife and child. Today, I'm going to make you pay back a hundredfold!"

With those words, he approached them and snapped their legs.

Ann Lan was torn between admiration and frustration at Lin Chen's actions.

She admired that he would go to any lengths for her and their child.

But she was frustrated—didn't he ever think things through?

Breaking their legs now, what would happen when they called the police later?

"Lili, get him a ticket to go abroad, quick."

"No, wait. Take this bank card and charter a plane to get him out of the country immediately!"

Ann Lan bit her lip and handed Sun Lili a bank card.

Sun Lili was taken aback.

"Lanlan, isn't this the bank card with the savings for your baby's formula?"

"If you give it all to Lin Chen, what will you and the baby do?"

Sun Lili implored Ann Lan with urgency.

"We can't worry about that now."

"He's still the father of my child. I can't stand by and watch him face decades in prison."

Ann Lan's eyes were a mix of complexity and sorrow as she looked at Lin Chen, managing a wry smile.

After all, everything Lin Chen had done was to protect her and their child.

Now, with Lin Chen on the brink of incarceration, as his wife and the mother of his child, how could she remain indifferent?

However, just as Ann Lan finished her words, a red mist suddenly enveloped the entire factory.

With just a couple of breaths, everyone's faces twisted into grotesque snarls.

"Howls and wails filled the air as if ghosts and wolves were crying out. People, as though possessed, turned on their companions with feral ferocity.

Ann Lan and Sun Lili's complexions drained of color at the sight of the chaos.

"Boss... I can't seem to control my body," someone stammered.

"I have this urge... to bite," another groaned.

Qian Duoduo, having inhaled the red mist, looked at Lin Chen with a tormented gaze.

Wang Sheng, Zhang Xiaoyu, Doggy Lee, and others were similarly afflicted.

"Could this be... the Nine Nether Ghost Corpse Formation?" Lin Chen's face darkened with fury at the sight.

"Lin Chen, what's the Nine Nether Ghost Corpse Formation?" Sun Lili asked from a short distance, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Lin Chen didn't respond. Instead, he activated his Magical Third Eye and scanned the area.

As he suspected, the ground around the factory was a grave for dozens of pregnant women and infants.

The sinister mist was emanating from these buried bodies.

"Crazy lady, cover your nose and mouth, now!" Lin Chen shouted to Ann Lan.

He then bit his finger and dashed into the crowd, pressing a bloodied fingertip to each person's forehead.

Those anointed with Lin Chen's blood swiftly came back to their senses.

"Boss... what just happened to us?" Qian Duoduo asked, staring at the blood on his hand and the injuries on others in a daze.

"It's a dark sorcery from Mao Mountain, the Nine Nether Ghost Corpse Formation," Lin Chen explained, his face ashen.

Seeing everyone's recovery, he continued, "This vile formation uses the corpses of pregnant women, extracting the unborn children before killing them in a most barbaric way."

"They're then transformed into toxic corpses through a sinister ritual."

"Once buried, these corpses emit a deadly miasma. Anyone who breathes it in becomes bestial, attacking on sight until all are dead by each other's hands."

Lin Chen clenched his fists, his eyes ablaze with righteous fury.

Let's set aside for a moment that this formation was designed to kill everyone involved. The fact that it claimed the lives of pregnant women and their unborn children alone is utterly heinous. What kind of monster must be behind this to commit such an atrocity that completely lacks any shred of humanity?

"Zhang Changsheng, don't you think you owe us an explanation?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, a chilling aura of murderous intent emanating from his gaze as he fixed it squarely on Zhang Changsheng.
