Chapter 959 Someone Wants to Frame Us!
The female mutant's entire body bristled.
Before she could even make a move, Chen Xuan had already appeared beside her like a ghost. The female mutant screamed and retreated frantically, as if she had seen a ghost.
But…
How could she possibly be faster than Chen Xuan?
*Clang!*
The dagger swung, and a cold glint surged!
In an instant, the female mutant's bones were all shattered by Chen Xuan. She stood rooted to the spot, swaying precariously.
She stared intently at Chen Xuan, a hint of unwillingness appearing on her face. In her rage, she raised her fist to strike Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan remained motionless.
Just as her fist was about to connect with Chen Xuan's face, with a thud, the female mutant collapsed face-first before Chen Xuan, completely finished.
"Defeated just like that?"
Looking at the female mutant who had fallen before Chen Xuan, and then at the scattered mutant corpses on the ground, Dr. Dao was astonished, and his heart bled!
These were mutants he had spent hundreds of billions to develop, and now they were all gone?
Unwillingness!
Anger!
…
Overwhelmed by these intense emotions, Dr. Dao charged forward, raising his fist to strike Chen Xuan: "You've destroyed all my hard work! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
However, upon seeing Chen Xuan's icy gaze, Dr. Dao's expression changed, and he froze on the spot, as if all his strength had been drained.
That's right, this guy was a devil, capable of killing even mutants. What was he in comparison?
"Now, can you tell me who your mastermind is?"
Chen Xuan asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Dao's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth, "I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I tell you!"
"Go on, tell me, I'd love to hear it."
Chen Xuan said with a playful smile.
Xie Wei frowned. Could it be some influential figure?
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Once I say it, you'll probably kneel and beg for mercy!"
Dr. Dao laughed heartily, then suddenly his smile vanished, and he said, "It's Su Ning from the Su family in the capital!"
"Su Ning?!"
Chen Xuan was stunned. It seemed his previous premonition was correct. This matter was indeed related to Su Ning. Perhaps Su Ning's main purpose in coming to the provincial capital wasn't to deal with the provincial Su family, but for the mutant experiments.
Dealing with the Su family was just a side activity!
Xie Wei was also extremely surprised upon hearing the news.
The mastermind was Su Ning!
Seeing Chen Xuan and Xie Wei's expressions change, Dr. Dao finally showed a hint of a smile on his face:
"Heh heh, are you scared? Kneel and beg for mercy right now, and I can make you my research subjects. With your talent, I guarantee I can turn you into martial arts venerables!"
Saying that, Dr. Dao excitedly sized up Xie Wei and Chen Xuan, his eyes burning with desire.
He had never seen such good raw material before, especially Chen Xuan. With his terrifying strength, he could guarantee a success rate of ninety-nine percent!
"What kind of trash is Su Ning!"
Chen Xuan slapped Dr. Dao across the face, causing his expression to change drastically.
"How dare you hit me? Believe it or not, Young Master Su Ning will kill you!"
"Kill me? He'll be dead within half a month!" Chen Xuan stated with certainty.
"You…"
"What about you…" Chen Xuan slapped him again.
After a few slaps, Dr. Dao completely caved in and dared not say another word.
Xie Wei also said seriously, "No matter who it is, even if it's Su Ning from the Su family in the capital, if they break the law, they must bear legal responsibility!"
Dr. Dao looked utterly defeated and despairing. However, he was still unwilling to give up, "I'm telling you, if you dare to touch me, they will absolutely not let you off!"
"Idiot!"
Chen Xuan cursed and said to Xie Wei, "I'll leave this here to you. Consider me as if I never came."
"This is a great merit, isn't it?" Xie Wei asked doubtfully.
The disappearance of 148 people was a major case that would be recorded in history. If there were rewards from above, it would definitely be a significant contribution!
"Just don't keep questioning me. The credit is yours!" Chen Xuan waved his hand.
Chen Xuan had no interest in this merit.
After saying that, Chen Xuan walked towards the exit.
Xie Wei sighed deeply.
Chen Xuan truly sought neither fame nor profit. No wonder Wei Changgeng admired Chen Xuan so much. It was all for good reason!
He then became excited. After cracking this major case, he would likely have the opportunity to serve in the capital soon!
*Whoosh!*
Just as Chen Xuan was walking away, a sudden sound of wind broke the silence.
Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically. As if realizing something, he abruptly turned and lunged towards Dr. Dao. However, it was too late. A silver needle flashed and pierced through Dr. Dao's throat like lightning!
*Pfft!*
Dr. Dao spat out a mouthful of black blood. His eyes trembled, and he still didn't understand why this had happened. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
Chen Xuan followed the trajectory of the silver needle and looked out the window. The silver needle must have been shot from outside the window. However, Chen Xuan couldn't worry about that now. He hurried to check on Dr. Dao's condition.
A silver needle was stuck in Dr. Dao's throat, and the area around it was already turning purple. Soon, his entire face turned green.
His expression sank. He quickly took Dr. Dao's pulse. After a moment, he shook his head slightly and sighed.
Xie Wei, who had rushed over, quickly asked, "Mr. Chen, how is Dr. Dao?"
This guy was the only witness to expose Su Ning. If he died, Su Ning might escape punishment!
"If it were just a silver needle, I could still save him. But this silver needle is coated with a biological poison. It's instantly fatal upon contact with blood. I can't save him."
Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed.
Although his medical skills were heaven-defying, there were times when he was powerless.
"It's all over!"
Xie Wei's face showed deep disappointment.
He was unwilling to let the culprit, Su Ning, get away with it. It wasn't for the sake of merit, but primarily because he couldn't avenge the 148 lives lost!
"It's likely that the person who killed Dr. Dao was someone Su Ning had arranged here beforehand. If the situation changed, they would eliminate Dr. Dao."
Chen Xuan's eyes flickered as he analyzed.
He believed that things wouldn't just happen by chance.
"Perhaps. But I will definitely not let Su Ning go!"
Xie Wei clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said sternly.
But at this moment, Chen Xuan's expression changed, and he shouted, "Quick, let's go! Something big has happened! Someone wants to frame us!"
"What's wrong?" Xie Wei frowned, not understanding.
"I'll explain when we get back!"
Chen Xuan had no time to explain. He quickly grabbed Xie Wei and rushed out.
However, as soon as they reached the laboratory door, a mess of footsteps sounded from outside, and a large number of people rushed in.
Xie Wei thought it was the Yan Huang Iron Brigade, but it wasn't. It was people from the Martial Alliance!
They were all heavily armed!
Leading them was Su Boqi!
Seeing Su Boqi, Chen Xuan's expression sank, and a bad premonition surged into his heart.
"Your Martial Alliance is quite timely, aren't you? But it's a pity, this merit is probably something your Martial Alliance can't snatch anymore," Xie Wei said with a cold laugh.
Su Boqi seemed not to hear him and scanned the surroundings.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. He quickened his pace and went to Dr. Dao's side. After examining him, he said coldly, "Men, apprehend these two murderers!"
A group of Martial Alliance personnel instantly rushed forward, surrounding Chen Xuan and Xie Wei, holding firearms in their hands!
