Chapter 85: I’m Waiting for You

Would they go to such lengths for the emergence of a new drug? Sacrificing five lives and using extremely cruel methods to cover it up?

‘Can it really be as I deduce?’

Xiao Yu was uncertain, and his scalp began to tingle.

In less than half an hour, Wang Dong returned, looking distraught. It was as if he had been struck by something or had seen something terrifying.

“So fast? Did you find out?” Xiao Yu was stunned.

“No need to check,” Wang Dong replied, regaining his composure. “Just now, the Bincheng police reported that Lu Jinyan suddenly went berserk in the hospital, like a madman.”

“Hypnosis?” Xiao Yu was puzzled.

It was impossible. He Yu had already been controlled. There shouldn’t be anyone who could induce Lu Jinyan into a hypnotic state.

“No,” Wang Dong said, looking at Xiao Yu. “It’s a strong drug addiction reaction that we’ve never seen before!”

“Damn!” Xiao Yu cursed.

“The hospital specifically injected him with some anti-addiction drugs,” Wang Dong shook his head. “It had no effect. The conclusion is that this addiction is five times stronger than heroin.”

Xiao Yu’s scalp tingled.

Heroin was known worldwide as the fourth most difficult drug to quit once addicted. Coutyou imagine an addiction five times stronger than that?

A flash of insight suddenly struck Xiao Yu’s mind.

“So, the people you experimented on were indeed meant to be killed. Because you can’t let the police witness this level of addiction, right? As for why it’s so cruel… Are you deliberately misleading the police, making them associate the deaths with the drug’s side effects? You wanted to divert the police’s investigation, making us think it’s a case of a psychopathic killer? The experiments were originally once a year, but the sixth one was done earlier. It was all intentional on your part. You wanted to throw He Yu to us, to put an end to the previous cases, right? The new drug has been completely developed? You didn’t expect that Lu Jinyan would survive? No, it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies, because even if the police find out later, it will be too late to catch you, right? The addiction level is five times that of heroin. As long as the drug is simple to prepare, you’ll become rich, very rich, extremely rich. You’ll take the formula and leave.”

Xiao Yu raised his head, his face extremely grim.

He thought of a new drug case from his previous life. Ordinary people would never imagine that a rural couple accidentally discovered a root that, when boiled, could be turned into a drug. Then, they began selling it.

In just a year and a half, this rural couple made 300 million. The drug was called Milk Tea.

Eventually, the formula leaked, leading to the emergence of countless drugs similar to Milk Tea.

It took the police across the country seven years to completely eradicate Milk Tea.

Can you believe it?

The advent of each new type of drug represents an increase in the difficulty of drug enforcement. It meant new products in the drug industry and countless families being destroyed.

If the formula leaked out, no one could imagine the extent of the societal harm it would cause.

“Arrest Zhang Shi,” Xiao Yu suddenly said.

“What?” Wang Dong was stunned. “How could it be…”

“Boss.” A national security officer rushed in, quickly reporting, “After being released, Zhang Shi disappeared shortly after returning to school!”

Bang! Wang Dong slammed his foot on a table, roaring, “Damn it… catch him, hurry, we must catch him. It doesn’t matter if he lives or dies, but the drug formula must be secured. It must not leak out.”

What Xiao Yu could think of, Wang Dong could also think of. They both knew that the real poison wasn’t the drug itself, but the formula.

Xiao Yu and Wang Dong rushed out of the laboratory.

In less than 20 minutes, groups of special police and armed police surrounded the school. But Zhuang Shi had already fled.

Standing in Zhuang Shi’s former dormitory, Xiao Yu said coldly, “It’s my fault. I clearly sensed something was off with him the first time I saw him. But I didn’t expect his reaction to be so quick.”

That was right.

At that moment, when I squinted at him and saw his eyes shift, he already guessed I was suspicious of him, didn’t he?

Indeed, someone capable of planning such a case, experimenting with a drug for five consecutive years, and being a hypnotist.

Your IQ must be very high, right? If you understand psychology, you definitely understand micro-expression psychology. I can observe your every move, and you can also observe my psychological state.

I underestimated him and got arrogant.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath. Never treat criminals as fools. They have committed crimes and remained uncaught for so long. Their IQ might even surpass yours!

But…

The nose of the Monarch Butterfly.

A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yu’s face.

‘I’ve got a cheat, how the hell are you going to escape?’

---

Xiao Yu rushed out of the dormitory building, following the scent trail, and sprinted quickly in one direction. Across the school’s playground, gardens, office buildings until the trail seemed to vanish outside the school.

No, not vanished.

Xiao Yu looked down at the manhole cover at his feet. Did he escape through here?

Without any hesitation, he lifted the manhole cover and jumped down.

In the sewer channel, Xiao Yu followed the scent trail, stealthily moving for forty minutes before raising his head.

The manhole cover was lifted, and he emerged onto the surface.

No, not the surface—a subterranean parking lot.

Xiao Yu looked around and frowned. There seemed to be no surveillance cameras in the parking lot.

Did he plan this too? Intentionally using the city’s underground drainage system to evade surveillance and enter this parking lot? Planning to drive away?

No. He didn’t leave. The scent was still in the parking lot.

Xiao Yu ran wildly toward an elevator in the parking lot. The elevator led to the upper levels. As he opened the elevator and waited for the doors to open, Xiao Yu’s expression froze.

He saw Zhang Shi standing in the elevator. Not only that, but there were also eight people in the elevator. There were men and women, all young.

But their expressions were crazed, with a violent light flashing in their eyes.

Xiao Yu’s scalp tingled, thinking of the five videos he had watched and of Lu Jinyan. The dead in the videos and Lu Jinyan were in this state when they were hypnotized.

“You know, I was waiting for you,” Zhang Shi said, standing behind the eight hypnotized people. He adjusted the glasses on his nose, “I won’t feel at ease until you’re dead.”

“Ah~!”

The eight hypnotized people roared, lunging at Xiao Yu, whose expression had slightly changed.
