Under One Person: God Profiler

Xia Linyuan said casually.

Xiang Xiang's pupils contracted, his expression darkening: "Since you already know, why are you asking me?"

"Because of the Broken Army Halberd? Your Xiang family's martial arts technique?"

Chapter 114 The Poisoned Gu

"Hehehe, it seems you know something about what happened back then. Do you also think it was right for Grandpa to steal his family's secret technique?" Xiang Xiang was suspended by iron chains, his tiger eyes staring straight at Xia Linyuan.

Xia Linyuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's just using violence to suppress violence."

"Violence for violence. If that's the case, my Xiang family can afford to lose!! But! My Xiang family has never provoked anyone. After my ancestor joined the Natural Sect at Xu Xiake's invitation, he always behaved himself. Whether it was the Thirty-Six Thieves or the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, my Xiang family never participated. Yet Xia Huaisang indiscriminately stormed into the Natural Sect, killing my Xiang family members and seizing my Xiang family's martial arts techniques."

"Do you know how many innocent souls are lost behind the extraordinary skills you've mastered?!"

Xiang Xiang was probably too excited, and he struggled violently, the iron chains rattling loudly. If his Du meridian hadn't been sealed, he probably would have already broken free by now.

"Then you can go find him. If you can't beat my grandfather, then beat his grandson. Your Xiang family really knows how to take a loss."

Xia Linyuan didn't see any signs that Xiang Xiang was lying. Although he was shocked, he retorted verbally.

After listening, Xiang Xiang fell silent.

"You still have people from the Truth-Seeking Society, why don't you take action?"

Xia Linyuan asked calmly.

Xiang Xiang snorted coldly.

"If you were determined to kill me, you should have done it with them then... that would have been the best chance to kill me. Don't tell me you still have a conscience. I don't believe it..."

Xia Linyuan's cold voice echoed in the cell. Xiang Xiang stared coldly at Xia Linyuan, clearly not intending to discuss the matter.

"I'm going to interrogate Xiang Xiaoyun..."

Upon seeing this, Xia Linyuan turned and left.

"Holy crap! I said! Don't touch Xiaoyun!"

Xiang Xiang's defenses were indeed breached.

Xia Linyuan paused, waiting for Xiang Xiang to continue.

"I....."

Xiang Xiang looked extremely pale, as if he were constipated.

Is it so difficult to talk about?

Xia Linyuan said with great distress, "It seems the only solution is to thoroughly interrogate Xiang Xiaoyun..."

"Oh shit..."

"The reason I didn't take action is... I was threatened..."

Xiang Xiang said with a very ugly expression.

"Threatened... The third son of the Xiang family is being threatened, and your Xiang family can just stand by and do nothing..."

"Whether the Xiang family can tolerate it or not is irrelevant, because that person is threatening the entire Xiang family..."

Xia Linyuan was startled. Someone who threatened the entire Xiang family! The Xiang family was considered upper-middle class among families. There were probably only a handful of top-tier families that could threaten them. Would someone like this... help me?

"who is it?"

"I don't know... but everything in the Xiang family's house was smashed overnight. The death list of the thirty-six thieves was posted on the gate. Inside the hall, the three characters 'Xia Huaisang' were written in red ink, and a note was left below: 'Yesterday's cause, today's end.'"

Upon hearing this, Xia Linyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday's cause can be resolved. But there is still the future. The future's consequences are the result of yesterday's causes, and one should bear the consequences of yesterday's actions. Therefore... taking action is what Xiang Xiaoyun... not the old man..."

"Heh, talk of cause and effect, you Buddhist?"

Xiang Xiang swayed slightly: "Who knows, maybe one of Xia's dogs..."

Xia Linyuan kicked Xiang Xiang in the lung: "A prisoner should act like a prisoner. Nobody cares about your life or death right now. Even if we cripple you, nobody will say anything."

Xiang Xiang pursed his lips...

Yes, I'm no longer a member of the Xiang family...

Who are the thirty-six thieves?

"do not know."

"Ok?"

"I really don't know. I didn't memorize so many names. How old was I back in the Jia Shen year?!"

"Oh."

Xia Linyuan nodded. He walked straight out and closed the door. Only one company employee remained outside. Upon seeing Xia Linyuan, the employee quickly approached and asked, "Hello, have you finished your investigation?"

Xia Linyuan nodded: "Where are Ren Jian and the others?"

The company employee stepped forward, locked the door, and said with a lewd expression, "Ah, Young Master Ren, he went to check on that female patient's health."

"Clean and dirty room?"

Xia Linyuan asked.

Almost every company has a cleanroom/sanitation room, used to treat patients in secret prisons. However, the cleanrooms/sanitation rooms in East China are a bit special.

I have never been able to save a single person.

Dr. Hua is a skilled healer, but he dislikes using clean and dirty rooms because he finds them unlucky.

"Come with me, I'll take you there."

The company staff led Xia Linyuan along the route. They soon arrived at the special door.

The door, entirely white, separates the world inside from the dark prison.

The company employee entered the password and pushed hard. Only then did the door open.

The room inside was bright and the temperature was pleasant.

The room was surrounded by transparent glass, allowing a clear view of the interior.

Ren Jian was giving Wang Lumeng an injection.

Xia Linyuan stepped forward and stood outside the glass door. Seeing Wang Lumeng's current state was truly indescribable.

Wang Lumeng's delicate face was ashen, and countless maggots seemed to wriggle beneath the skin of her arms and thighs. Ren Jian wasn't giving her an injection, but rather using a special syringe to suck something out.

With a gentle pull, the syringe slowly filled with a black substance.

This action was repeated countless times.

Ren Jian only stopped when the person next to him, wearing a black tube, looked somewhat pale. He then attached several more IV bags and connected them to Wang Lumeng.

Only then did they stop.

Xia Linyuan then pushed open the door and went inside.

He activated the Golden Light Spell, picked up the syringe from the ground, and asked, "What is this...?"

Ren Jian wiped away his cold sweat, his eyes gleaming, and his face lit up with excitement: "Poison, a poisoned Gu... an extremely special spirit Gu. It's a Gu worm that helps people without cultivation aptitude to cultivate. It can squeeze out the body's potential and make rapid progress."

Once the Gu worm's function is exhausted, it will die inside the human body and form a special kind of Qi. Over time, one will develop a dependence on this Gu worm, and without it, one will be unable to cultivate normally.

This poison hasn't been tested yet. It looks like a Gu poison... but it's more like a different kind of poison I've never encountered before!

Seeing Ren Jian's state, Xia Lin inexplicably thought of Dr. Hua's granddaughter.

They're all medical lunatics.

"Are you a doctor from Central China?"

Xia Linyuan couldn't help but ask.

"No, he's not. He's doing a part-time job here."

"Black pipe," said the man standing to the side.

Ren Jian glared: "I'll be one sooner or later!"

"The company is dangerous; your sister won't let you in."

"It's clarinet," the clarinet player said slowly. Their conversation flowed smoothly, as if they had said similar things several times before...

Xia Linyuan watched the two chatting idly from the side, then stepped forward to observe Wang Lumeng's condition. According to Ren Jian, if the spirit gu in her body had died, then what was wriggling under her skin?

Qi?

"Can this kind of poison be mass-produced?"

Xia Linyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The Wang family's businesses were mostly run by capable and promising young people. They had managed to buy other people's properties without any complaints.

They acquired a property worth 500 million in just three days.

But why would "one of them" sell its property? Building a brand is no easy feat. What price did the Wang family offer to make the other party so willing to sell?

If some extraordinary person intervenes...

That makes perfect sense. Things that can't be handled openly are dealt with secretly by having extraordinary individuals handle them.

These extraordinary individuals were cursed... and bound to the Wang family on a warship. But why hasn't anyone noticed anything amiss all these years?
