Chapter 1031: This Is Medicine for Li Xiao

Mu Liusu walked straight toward the man who was squatting on the ground in a disheveled state.

Immediately, he saw the man look straight over and shout, "I told you I don't know anything! What exactly do you want? Are you trying to rob me? It's broad daylight, is there no law left!"

He looked both terrified and incredibly furious.

Mu Liusu narrowed his eyes slightly, a dark glint flashing in their depths, and said nothing.

It didn't look like he was faking it...

This man, it seemed, really hadn't seen through their identities.

After all, he and Li Xiao rarely had any dealings with this bunch of people from the Research Institute who only worked for money.

Even if they needed supplies, they wouldn't have any contact with them.

So, it was better that he didn't recognize them.

"Why haven't you let me go yet! I... I am a researcher!

If I go missing, many people will definitely track me down, and then you'll be in big trouble!"

The man was still chattering away, seemingly thinking he could scare Mu Liusu this way.

"Tsk..."

Mu Liusu was feeling somewhat irritated by his noise; he suddenly darkened his face, stepped forward, bent down to grab the man's arm, and twisted it hard in the opposite direction!

"Ah!!!"

The man let out a pig-like shriek instantly, the sound so loud that Cai Xiaotang, who was "watching the show" in the car, couldn't help but shudder.

"Shut up."

Mu Liusu spat out the two words indifferently; although his tone was calm, the chill that permeated it went straight to the heart.

The man seemed to sense the aura of danger and actually shut his mouth just like that!

The air finally quieted down.

The next second—"What I hate most is you research personnel."

Mu Liusu's expression turned fierce; he flung the man's arm away, then suddenly curled his lips.

"However, the things you develop all seem to be very valuable. Tell me, what valuable things are you carrying in your car?"

The man was stunned upon hearing this and replied stutteringly, "I... I don't have any..."

"You had better tell the truth."

Mu Liusu interrupted him impatiently, cracking his knuckles.

"This area has long been abandoned; it won't be developed for at least the next three years, so... you come running to a place like this in broad daylight and tell me you're just passing by?"

The man swallowed hard, glanced at his car with a guilty conscience, and didn't speak.

Mu Liusu didn't press him further, simply waving his hand to call over his subordinates.

Then he continued, "Originally, I just wanted to see if you had anything good that I could trade for some money. Since you're not being sensible, I can only have people search your car. If we really find something interesting you've developed, I'll just let you try it out."

He had the look of a full-fledged "robber," and it was simply vivid and lifelike.

As soon as he finished speaking, the subordinate nearby turned to search the car almost immediately!

In just a few minutes, they found a small transparent box inside an inconspicuous cardboard box in his trunk!

Inside was a tube of light blue reagent!

"Found it."

The subordinate hurriedly handed the item over.

The man on the ground turned deathly pale the moment he saw the reagent!

"Hm? What is this?"

Mu Liusu took it casually.

"It's... it's just something I researched on a whim..."

The man replied hurriedly.

Mu Liusu, however, couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind; he stared at the reagent in his hand with great interest for a few seconds, swept his gaze over the serial number on the bottle without changing his expression, and his eyes darkened abruptly.

This serial number...

It was a drug he had never seen before!

What exactly were these guys developing lately?

Too lazy to consider so much, Mu Liusu opened the box lid directly and took out the tube of reagent.

"Since it's something you researched on a whim, would you like to try it yourself?"

As he spoke, he had already bent down and leaned in front of the man, asking, "How should it be used? Injection? Or... should I just have you drink it?"

"No! Don't! This can't be drunk!"

The man instantly leaned back in terror, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.

"Hmph."

Mu Liusu snorted coldly and put the reagent back.

"If you don't want to drink it, then tell me everything you know."

The man's body stiffened abruptly, but even so, his expression remained hesitant.

Mu Liusu didn't urge him.

After another few minutes, the other party finally seemed to have made up his mind and let out a heavy sigh.

"I'll talk!"

With a face full of annoyance, he simply gave up and said, "This is a new type of drug that can control brain nerves and make people forget previous events. Simply put, it's artificial interference-based amnesia. Someone wanted this drug, and I accepted a sum of money to deliver it specifically..."

"Interference-based amnesia?"

Mu Liusu's expression tightened.

Cai Xiaotang, who was clinging to the car window eavesdropping, felt her heart skip a beat.

Amnesia?

She seemed to know what Luo Wanwan wanted to do.

This medicine must be for Li Xiao!

She wanted to use artificial interference to make him forget everything, and forget her too!

And then, they could be together again?

Simply ridiculous!

A surge of anger flared up in her heart, and Cai Xiaotang wished she could rush out immediately to settle the score with Luo Wanwan!

Immediately after, she heard Mu Liusu ask again: "Do you know who the buyer is? Have you met them?"

"No."

The man answered quickly, and his attitude did not seem like he was lying.

Mu Liusu asked again: "What about the others around them? Do they know how many people you came with?"

"I didn't tell them how many people there were, and... they only approached me yesterday, we have only communicated by phone..."

The man's tone gradually became somewhat puzzled, as if he did not understand why Mu Liusu was asking these things.

Mu Liusu, however, turned around and stopped looking at him, turned directly back to the car, and slammed the car door shut with a bang.

In the car, his two trusted aides both had tense expressions, looking at him in unison.

"Abai, Xiao An, you two, disguise yourselves as him and go in to check the situation."

"Yes."

The young man named "Xiao An," who had been operating the computer, agreed readily.

Abai, who was driving in front, hesitated and asked: "If we discover traces of Shura, should we launch a rescue?"

Mu Liusu's expression darkened, and he did not speak.

Right now, that man delivering the medicine was the only breakthrough.

To figure out the situation inside, to break through from the inside, and to coordinate from within and without, this was the only way.

He also did not want to let his trusted aides take risks.

But...

"Act according to the situation."

Mu Liusu spat out the four words in a low voice.

After another few seconds of silence, he continued.

"Currently, it is not difficult to sneak in. I have already had people find a liquid of a similar color to replace the medicine that person brought. After you get in, find an excuse to stay. Li Xiao has seen you before. If you see him in a while, he should immediately understand what is going on. He is not a fool and will know how to cooperate. Perhaps he might even find an opportunity himself. In short... how to specifically act, we will only know once we are inside."
