Chapter 43: Forcing the Child of Destiny to Kill His Sister to Prove His Dao—Wouldn’t That Be Absolutely Thrilling?
Why kill Lin Xi?
Of course, to disgust you!
That’s what Zhang Chen thought inwardly, though he wouldn’t say it out loud.
Instead, he let out a cold laugh. “You don’t need to know the reason. Whether you do it or not is up to you.”
Not yielding to reason or persuasion, Zhang Chen wasn’t like those brainless villains.
Tell you the reason?
Are you stupid?
Why should I tell you?
Ye Fan was seething with nowhere to release his strength or anger.
He clenched his fists tightly, and finally forced out each word through gritted teeth.

But in his heart, he had his own plan. He had no intention of following Zhang Chen’s orders.
Ye Fan could never have guessed—
This was all a trap Zhang Chen had laid for him.
And after he left,

In mere seconds, it turned to ash and disappeared without a trace.
Leaving no evidence behind.
Well—
One thing was left.
A box.
Inside were the research data stolen from the Lin family’s lab, and several more prototype drug injectors.
