Qin Leng Is Dead?

Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox compound, in a conference room.

Two middle-aged men were sitting in the room, smoking. "Xing Yun is thinking too simply. I know that old guy Qin Leng. He's the type who doesn't speak without reason."

"I also had my doubts. I don't believe that Qin Leng's sudden departure was without any plan or preparation."

"You mean, he deliberately chose this time to leave to lure us in?"

"Did he think we were fish?"

"Didn't someone take the bait?"

"Old Xing?"

"That idiot, he's just fish for the fat."

"What are your thoughts, Lao Yun?"

"Don't worry, someone has already made a move."

"Zhang Zhongsheng?"

Click.

Just then, a middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in.

The two men exchanged a glance. "Speak of the devil, and he appears."

Zhang Zhongsheng sat down in front of the two men and said, "Qin Leng is dead."

"Dead?"

"You did this?"

Faced with their questions, Zhang Zhongsheng picked up the cigarette case on the table, shook out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

"If Qin Leng doesn't die, we won't be able to control the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"If Qin Leng doesn't die, we won't be able to conduct our research on Immortality Experiment."

"If Qin Leng doesn't die, he'll expose our secrets sooner or later."

Wu Changshun exhaled a puff of smoke. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? If you do this, we, who are here, are also to blame..."

Before Wu Changshun could finish speaking, Zhang Zhongsheng interrupted him, "Ha, haven't I made myself clear enough?"

"Do you remember how the original four directors of the Nine-Tailed Fox died?"

Wu Changshun frowned. "It seems to be saying that it was caused by the containment going out of control and the Containment Object going berserk..."

Zhang Zhongsheng sneered, "The containment went out of control, and four directors died. Why not just say they killed all five directors?"

Yun Gongmin, who had been silent all along, frowned. "The higher-ups have always suspected that Qin Leng was behind it, but the bodies of the four directors were indeed destroyed by the Containment Object, so there has never been any concrete evidence."

Wu Changshun stubbed out his cigarette. "If you ask me, this matter is still inappropriate. The first thing the higher-ups will investigate after Qin Leng's death is us."

"And you all know about the things we have on our record; they can't stand up to scrutiny."

Zhang Zhongsheng exhaled a puff of smoke. "Whoever did it should take responsibility."

"Finding a scapegoat isn't difficult."

"The question is, was 'the matter' handled cleanly?" Yun Gongmin asked.

"Don't worry, this matter..."

Click.

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open!

The three of them turned around at the same time and saw Qin Leng, dressed in a black uniform, swaggering into the conference room.

Everyone's here.

!!

What?

Zhang Zhongsheng's pupils contracted, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

How is that possible?

Judging from the footage, he was clearly dead!

Zhang Zhongsheng sent people to confirm the body, and Qin Leng was indeed dead; all vital signs had disappeared!

To ensure everything went perfectly, he even had Qin Leng's head chopped off!

You're saying that was a stand-in?

But you can't fake DNA!

To be brought back to life—this is unprecedented among the known Containment Object ...

No, there really is one!

Sequence 008 True Ancestor!

Could it be that Qin Leng has been secretly researching and analyzing 008, and has already discovered the secret to the Blood Clan' immortality, and has achieved it himself?

That's very possible!

Under the shocked gazes of the three, Qin Leng slowly walked to Zhang Zhongsheng's side and whispered, "That guy's marksmanship is pretty good, he must be from the military, right?"

"It is said that there was a man Zhao Zheng who was originally a sharpshooter in the Sixth Company in the Jingnan. He was discharged from the army due to injury in the first two years and then disappeared without a trace."

"But I heard that he injured his right hand. People say he can't even hold a gun properly anymore. Isn't that why he's shooting so accurately?"

Zhang Zhongsheng's pupils trembled. "What are you saying..."

Qin Leng grinned, "I'm just talking about some trivial things, which, of course, are things that some people already know."

"Should we continue to pretend we don't know?"

Zhang Zhongsheng suddenly stood up. "I don't know what you're talking about, Qin Leng, but if you're pretending to be ignorant, then I'd like to ask you a question in return: how did Xing Yun die?"

Qin Leng pondered for a moment, "Xing Yun is dead?"

When did this happen?

Wu Changshun also stood up, "You don't know about this? What's in the 008 containment chamber? Wasn't that something you arranged?"

Qin Leng turned to look at Wu Changshun, "May I ask what my arrangements are?"

"I put the Containment Object in individual rooms and shuffled their order for better containment, and also for the safety of humans."

Wu Changshun pointed at Qin Leng, "For the safety of humanity?"

"There's not a single sign in those containment cells of yours. If someone accidentally wanders in and gets their life taken, it's all your responsibility!"

"Went in by mistake?" Qin Leng narrowed his eyes.

"Excuse me, who has the right to enter the containment chamber without my orders and permission?"

"All I did was use the most basic counter-espionage techniques; only spies would die because of them."

"If someone sneaks into the containment chamber without obtaining the correct information, is it because they have some ulterior motive or are acting on someone's orders to cause damage? Such a person is either a spy or a criminal from a hostile organization or another country."

"Xing Yun is dead. Isn't that clear enough?"

Wu Changshun was speechless for a moment, "What if you weren't here..."

"The fact that Xing Yun rushed into the containment chamber as soon as I left can only mean that he had been planning this for a long time and was just waiting for this opportunity to make his move," Qin Leng said.

"Or perhaps the four of you were actually together? Oh, no, you were originally together. Since you came together, why not consider leaving together?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately fell silent.

They didn't think Qin Leng would dare to attack them directly. Otherwise, Qin Leng wouldn't have told them all this. He could have just taken action directly instead of wasting time.

Zhang Zhongsheng's gaze shifted, "Qin Leng, have you already deciphered the secret of the Blood Clan's immortality?"

"If that's the case, why are you hiding it? Everyone is doing this for this, so just be generous and show it to the country, the people, and the whole world will thank you."

As Zhang Zhongsheng spoke, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Qin Leng suddenly pulled a pistol out of his pocket, and Zhang Zhongsheng quickly retreated.

"Qin Leng, what are you doing!"

"To kill them to silence them!"

"I know your Immortality Experiment must have been successful, and you've been hiding this secret from your superiors..."

Qin Leng suddenly threw the pistol to Zhang Zhongsheng, "Come on, shoot me."

What?

Zhang Zhongsheng was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Qin Leng opened his arms. "You guessed right. I did indeed succeed in researching the Immortality Experiment. If you want to confirm, just shoot me."

Zhang Zhongsheng raised his gun with trembling hands, "Do you think I... am an idiot?"
