Chapter 183: Night Raid!

Tang Chen entered the cafe and walked into the private room he had agreed to meet Liu Yanran in. Liu Yanran was already sitting there waiting for him. When she saw Tang Chen come in, she immediately greeted him.

Tang Chen closed the door behind him and said to Liu Yanran, “Police Sister. You called and said the test results were ready. So, what are they?”

Liu Yanran took a yellow file folder from behind her and placed it on the table. She said to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, take a look at this.”

Tang Chen did not pick up the file folder. He said, “Police Sister, I don’t want to read such official documents. They give me a headache just looking at them. Just tell me what it says.”

Liu Yanran twitched her mouth helplessly and said, “Seeing how anxious you are, fine, I’ll tell you. The green medicine bottle you gave me, after testing, we found that the remaining liquid contains UIC components. And the concentration is quite high.”

“UIC? What’s that? Police Sister, could you please speak in Chinese?” Tang Chen frowned in confusion. He had heard of UFOs, but he had no idea what UIC was.

Liu Yanran smiled wryly and then said seriously, “UIC is a code name for a chemical substance. It’s mainly a type of bacterial virus (this is purely the author’s nonsense, with no scientific basis, just for the novel’s effect.). Don’t underestimate this bacterial virus. Once it’s refined into a liquid and injected into a human body, it could potentially alter a person’s genetic makeup.”

“Bacterial virus? Genetic makeup?” Tang Chen was stunned. He never imagined that such an ordinary-looking small bottle could have the power to change human genes.

“Wait, Police Sister, did you just say this virus can be refined into a liquid and injected into a person’s body?” Tang Chen remembered something, paused, and then continued, “Since only this small amount of liquid was left at the scene, does that mean that guy injected this liquid?”

Liu Yanran nodded and said, “One hundred percent. Otherwise, this bottle wouldn’t have only this little left.”

The more Tang Chen listened, the more frightened he became. He recalled Fu Yanjie’s sudden crazed behavior during their fight. No wonder even the System said that guy’s body had suddenly changed. So that was why.

“So, the Mo Sect is secretly making this liquid? What are they trying to do?” Tang Chen couldn’t help but mutter softly to himself. Wasn’t it just a school gang? Why were they involved in something like this?

“Tang Chen, what are you saying? What’s this about the Mo Sect? Do you know something?” Liu Yanran’s expression changed sharply, and she asked him pointedly.

Tang Chen was caught off guard. He wasn’t ready to talk about his feud with the Mo Sect, so he changed the subject. “Then, Police Sister, what else have you found out?”

Liu Yanran said seriously, “Of course. I had the forensics team analyze it. The bacterial virus is mainly composed of hydrogen acid A and Liuli water (also nonsense, for the novel’s effect). Both are just ordinary elements. Only when they become contaminated and cause cellular mutations do they turn into this bacteria. So…”

Tang Chen interrupted Liu Yanran and quickly said, “Stop, stop, Police Sister. I’m here to discuss the case with you, not to attend a chemistry class. You’re using so many technical terms, it’ll make the nitpicky readers think you’re padding the word count.”

Liu Yanran’s mouth twitched. She rolled her beautiful eyes and said irritably, “Do you think I want to say all this? It’s all because the author gave me a terrible script! Anyway, besides being able to turn into this virus, when these two chemicals are combined normally, they can become glucose water for medical use. As far as I know, there’s a lot of glucose water stockpiled in an abandoned hospital in the southern suburbs of our city. I think it’s necessary to investigate there.”

Tang Chen said, “Oh,” and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. “You mean we should go straight to the heart of the matter? Alright, I’m best at this kind of charge-in-without-pants thing. I’ll go tonight.”

Tang Chen couldn’t hide his excitement. If that place really was connected to the Mo Sect, then he would destroy it.

“Shut up! Would you die if you didn’t act like a rogue for one day?” Liu Yanran’s icy face showed a few black lines. What kind of analogies was this jerk using? ‘Go straight to the heart of the matter,’ ‘charge in without pants’—aren’t you afraid people will know you’re a pervert?

“I’m going with you. After all, this case happened in my jurisdiction.” Liu Yanran made a decision that Tang Chen hadn’t expected.

“You’re coming with me?” Tang Chen was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand. “No need. Young Master is used to working alone. Bringing a woman along is just troublesome. Of course, I’m not saying you’d hold me back.”

Tang Chen looked innocent, but his words nearly made Liu Yanran explode with anger. This bastard was so annoying. His stubborn expression clearly showed he thought she would hold him back, yet he was acting innocent.

“Go to hell!” Liu Yanran slammed the table angrily and said coldly, “You’re too impulsive. If I don’t go with you, who knows what earth-shattering thing you might do? It’s settled. We’ll meet on the road outside the police station at 8 p.m. If I don’t see you there, you’d better watch out!”

Liu Yanran stood up furiously, turned, and swayed her hips as she prepared to leave.

Tang Chen looked stunned. He twitched his mouth and said, “Wait, Police Sister, don’t forget to pay the bill.”

Thump!

Liu Yanran, who had already reached the door, fell to the ground. She scrambled up awkwardly, glared fiercely at Tang Chen, and fumed, “I hope you eat yourself to death, you bastard.”

Tang Chen looked away and pursed his lips. It seemed he definitely had to go with Liu Yanran tonight.

So, when evening came, Yang Mi called with good news. She said Chen Bailin had been saved and was now in the intensive care unit.

This was undoubtedly more good news for Tang Chen. He quickly drove to the hospital to see Chen Bailin. After being busy for a while, it was past 6 p.m. when Tang Chen and Yang Mi finally left.

Tang Chen was driving and saw that Yang Mi also looked tired. He knew the girl had been badly frightened by what happened today. To cheer her up, Tang Chen smiled and said, “Wife, you’ve been tired all day. How about your husband takes you to relax?”

Yang Mi shook her head, hugged Tang Chen’s arm, rested her head against his chest, and said somewhat gloomily, “I’m not in the mood for that, Tang Chen. Let’s just go home.”

Tang Chen sighed helplessly. Originally, he didn’t want Yang Mi to get involved in such things, but now it seemed unavoidable.

They drove home in silence. Tang Chen personally cooked for Yang Mi. Although Yang Mi had little appetite, she obediently ate some porridge to avoid worrying Tang Chen.

After what happened, even if Tang Chen was a pervert, he had no desire for that. He and Yang Mi took off their clothes and lay on the bed facing each other to rest. Tang Chen planned to wait until Yang Mi was completely asleep before going out. After all, this matter needed to be resolved.

The moon outside was very round. A jeep with its license plate covered appeared on a small road not far from Tang Chen’s house. Four men in black appeared there, wearing masks and carrying weapons resembling Katanas on their backs.

The man in the middle took a map from his pocket, then touched something near his eyes. Two green beams of light shot out, illuminating the map clearly.

Monsters? Of course not. It was just night vision goggles.

After looking at the map, the man said, “This is the place where the Young Master wants us to carry out the mission. I’ve observed it. This villa has two floors, no back door, no guards. Only one security guard is watching the main gate. We’ll act together later. This mission must succeed. Failure is not an option!”

“Yes, Brother Liu.”

The man grunted in acknowledgment. Then the four of them bumped their fists together and chanted in low voices, “Peerless under heaven, strengthen our Mo Sect!”

“Move out!” the man ordered, and the four quickly dashed toward the villa.

On the second floor, Tang Chen gently opened his eyes. As he was about to get up, he heard the System say, “Respected Host, your trouble has arrived.”
