~7 min read 1,269 words

Walter had thought he could luckily escape, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to suddenly want to ask him a question at this time.

Therefore, his figure stiffened, and he hurriedly turned his head back, asking with a smile, "Master Ye... do you have any other instructions?"

Ye Chen looked at him and smiled, "It's not an urgent matter, I just want to ask you about something."

Walter instantly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Master Ye, please ask!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "Mercuric chloride, do you know what that is?"

Walter's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be surprised on his face, answering, "I... I don't know... what is mercuric chloride?"

At the moment he spoke, Walter's heart suddenly thumped!

Relying on his strong psychological quality, he managed to keep his expression from changing too much.

However, Ye Chen still noticed the slight stiffness and panic on his face that was not easily detected.

Almost at this instant, Ye Chen concluded that Walter must be inseparable from the matter of Wang Dongxue's father being poisoned!

Therefore, Ye Chen's expression turned gloomy in an instant. He grabbed Walter by the collar and shouted sternly, "If you tell the truth, I will let you die a little less painfully!"

Walter shook his head repeatedly with an innocent look and blurted out, "Master Ye... you... did you get it wrong? I don't understand what mercuric chloride is at all. Why are you grabbing me again because of this matter..."

Wang Dongxue on the side was also shocked.

When Ye Chen suddenly asked Walter if he knew what mercuric chloride was just now, her heart also skipped a beat.

The reason she was shocked was that she hadn't thought before that her father could have been harmed by Walter.

Because she had always preemptively felt that Walter had only appeared after her father was seriously ill and tried to take advantage of the situation, but she didn't think that Walter was actually the culprit behind her father's serious illness.

So at that moment, she watched Walter without blinking, hoping to see if he was lying.

However, Walter's ability to manage his expressions was still very strong, so Wang Dongxue indeed couldn't see anything unusual on his face.

Therefore, at this moment, she even doubted whether Ye Chen had made a mistake.

However, Ye Chen was not deceived by Walter's innocent expression at all.

He stared at Walter's eyes and said coldly, "I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't tell the truth, then what awaits you next might be the eighteenth level of hell that you've never even thought of before!"

Walter swallowed hard with difficulty and cried, "Master Ye, I really don't understand what you're talking about! I'm not someone who studies chemistry, I don't understand what mercuric chloride is. I do know what carbon dioxide is..."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and sneered, "Good, everything is your own choice. Just don't regret it in the future."

After finishing, he immediately took Walter's Apple phone out of his pocket and sneered, "Come, put your face over here and let me unlock it. I want to see if there are any unspeakable dealings in your phone!"

Walter was scared out of his wits and blurted out, "You are violating other people's privacy at will! I have the right to have my lawyer sue you!"

Ye Chen pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh my, when I hit you just now, you didn't say you wanted your lawyer to sue me. How come when I want to look at your phone, you want your lawyer to sue me instead? Could it be that there really is something unspeakable in your phone?"

"No... absolutely not!" Walter said in a panic, "My phone contains the commercial secrets of our Hogwitz family. It is a matter of great importance. If you, Master Ye, look at it and it leaks out, it will definitely bring huge economic losses to our Hogwitz family..."

Ye Chen smiled, "It's okay. If it really causes economic losses, I'll just compensate you. I've always been straightforward. Isn't it just money? Go ask around in Jin Ling—when has Master Ye ever been short of money?"

Walter still wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but Ye Chen had already pointed the front camera of the phone at him.

It had to be said that the phone's facial recognition was indeed very easy to use.

Even though Walter's cheeks were swollen, the phone unlocked immediately through his facial recognition.

Walter's phone was all in English, but for Ye Chen, that was not a problem at all.

Although he hadn't attended university, he had received top-tier international education when he was young, just like the current international schools, growing up learning in a multilingual environment.

Especially Ye Chen's mother, who was an American-born Chinese herself; English was one of her native languages, and she had received top-tier aristocratic education since she was young, not only proficient in English and Chinese but also having deep involvement in Japanese, French, and Spanish.

In China, it seems very rare for a person to know multiple languages. This is mainly because China itself is not an immigrant country, and the vast majority of its population of over one billion speaks Chinese.

The United States is different.

The United States itself is an immigrant country. There are many Europeans who speak English, and many Chinese who speak Chinese. Because it is very close to Mexico, there are also many people who speak Spanish.

Besides that, Asian countries like Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, and European countries like Germany, France, and Italy have all had large numbers of immigrants moving to the United States to settle down over the past two hundred years.

The biggest benefit of living in such an environment is being able to come into contact with cultures and languages from all over the world.

Therefore, Ye Chen also benefited a lot from his mother, laying a good language foundation since he was young.

Opening Walter's phone, the first thing Ye Chen did was look at the text messages and WeChat.

Although it was all in English, it didn't take any effort to read.

Walter's face was already ashen. He said in near despair, "You cannot look at my message records! This is illegal!"

Ye Chen said coldly while flipping through them, "Shut your mouth. Otherwise, I will break your other hand too!"

Walter's expression was extremely terrified.

He didn't know what to do at all now.

If he just shut his mouth, Ye Chen would definitely discover the evidence of him poisoning Wang Dongxue's father from the chat records;

However, if he didn't shut his mouth, what would be the result?

At most, he would have his other hand broken by Ye Chen, and then wait for Ye Chen to dig out the evidence...

Thinking of this, he was extremely regretful, wailing in his heart: "I am really the fighter jet among idiots! Why did I come to the hospital at this time... Why! If I hadn't come tonight, I might not have met this bastard! If I hadn't met this bastard, I wouldn't have been tortured so miserably!"

"Being tortured is one thing! If he finds the evidence that I instigated others to poison Wang Dongxue's father, then I am completely finished! The Chinese police will definitely prosecute me for intentional homicide..."

"In that case, wouldn't I have to face at least seven or eight, or even ten-plus years of imprisonment in China?!" ===== CHAPTER 1190 =====
