I saw a man in a black robe with a sinister face slowly coming into view. It was Zhou Botong!

Zhou Botong seemed unaware of Chen Ming's presence. He lowered his head and searched around for something, looking anxious and nervous.

Chen Ming sneered in his heart, he knew that Zhou Botong must be looking for the experimental subjects or some key evidence he left behind.

"Humph, you finally showed up."

Chen Ming said in his heart, and moved, appearing behind Zhou Botong like a ghost, with a cold dagger against his neck.

"do not move!"

Chen Ming's voice was deep and powerful, full of unquestionable majesty.

Zhou Botong trembled all over and turned his head stiffly. The moment he saw Chen Ming, a look of unbelievable horror flashed in his eyes.

"You... why are you here?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"I?"

A cold smile appeared on Chen Ming's lips, and the flame of revenge flickered in his eyes.

"Of course I'll be here, Zhou Botong. Do you think your little tricks can be hidden from my eyes? From the moment you started planning all this, I have quietly laid a trap, waiting for you to fall into it."

Zhou Botong's face turned pale as paper in an instant. He knew very well that he was facing not only Chen Ming himself, but also the power and wisdom behind him that could not be underestimated.

"I...I just..." He tried to defend himself, but his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Just what? Just want to use those innocent lives to achieve your ambitions?"

Chen Ming's tone became more severe. He took a step closer, and the cold light of the dagger flickered in the dimness, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

"Do you know how many lives have been lost and how many families have been torn apart because of your greed and selfishness?"

Zhou Botong lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, he knew he had no way to retreat.

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke, but his attitude became firm.

"Humph, stop talking nonsense. You can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

"Kill you? That's too easy for you."

There was no trace of murderous intent in Chen Ming's eyes, but instead there was a hint of cold amusement.

"I want you to witness with your own eyes how everything you pursue collapses before your eyes."

Zhou Botong looked up in surprise and saw Chen Ming taking out a bottle from his arms.

Before he could figure it out, a group of insects flew out of the bottle. Then, as he looked in disbelief, the insects actually flew into his nose.

The next second, Chen Ming took a few steps back, and the bugs actually drilled into his body. At this moment, Zhou Botong only felt that his whole body was extremely itchy.

"What on earth did you do? Why are these bugs so scary?"

He wailed in pain, then fell to the ground, laughing and crying. He felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his bones were being gnawed by countless insects.

When Chen Ming saw this scene, he did not hesitate at all and felt that everything was the best outcome.

"You have 10 minutes to beg for mercy, or you will turn into a pile of bones."

As he spoke, Chen Ming slowly stretched out his arm. He was wearing a watch on his wrist. At this moment, he was watching the second hand constantly turning and silently recording the time.

Zhou Botong originally didn't want to say anything, but at this moment Chen Ming quickly made his intentions clear.

"I know you must know a lot of things. If you just tell me now, I will let you go. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to get out again."

Chen Ming just wanted to know who were the people who were chasing his parents, and why they haven't revealed their identities until now?

"Who was chasing my parents all along? Weren't they here for the ancient medicine?"

At this moment, Zhou Botong really couldn't bear it anymore, so he nodded repeatedly, but he still found it difficult to accept the pain in his body.

"They did come for the ancient medicine prescription, but I don't know who this person is. When I contacted him, he was very mysterious and wore a mask. I was imprisoned by him some time ago, so I don't know his identity."

Chen Ming, who originally didn't want to be stained with blood, felt that the other party was deceiving him and became furious.

But struggling for a long time was of no use, everything seemed to solidify and suddenly stopped.

"You must know any contact information or some kind of connection with him, otherwise you wouldn't be so calm."

He couldn't wait to know the identities of these people and what they were thinking.

Zhou Botong's face was twisted in pain, sweat mixed with tears flowed down his face, and a trace of struggle and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Finally, driven by the desire to survive, he spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse and trembling.

"I... I really don't know his true identity, but every time he contacts me, it's through a specific dark web account. That account is my only clue to him."

When Chen Ming heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes. He quickly took out a mobile phone from his pocket, handed it to Zhou Botong and ordered him.

"Tell me your account number and password."

Zhou Botong panted, stretched out his hand with difficulty, and tremblingly typed a string of characters on the phone.

After Chen Ming confirmed that everything was correct, he immediately logged into the dark web account and began to look through the information in it.

The content on the page was complex and cryptic, filled with clues to various illegal transactions, but Chen Ming's attention was soon attracted by an encrypted message.

"found it!"

Chen Ming let out a low cry, feeling both relieved and having new doubts.

He quickly wrote down the key information and decided to investigate further.

However, he did not intend to let Zhou Botong go easily, but he was no longer in a hurry to take his life.

"You have saved your life for now, but remember, it is only temporary."

Chen Ming put away his phone and looked at Zhou Botong coldly.

"If you dare to hide anything or do evil again, I will make you suffer a hundred times more than you are now."

After saying that, Chen Ming turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned back and added a sentence.

"I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise you know the consequences."

He said nothing more and then decided to follow this clue.

Chen Ming walked to the edge of the island and took out the flare he had prepared long ago.

As the flare was launched into the air, a boat soon appeared swimming on the sparkling water and then came in front of them.

He was finally picked up by someone else, and this time he could finally put his mind at ease.

Zhou Botong, who was hiding on the island, was in a miserable situation. Since the mysterious man couldn't find him, he immediately launched a new search.

The mysterious man at this time was wearing black clothes and a strange silver mask.

The mysterious man's gaze penetrated the night, as accurate as a cheetah locking onto its prey. He stood on the other side of the island, looking in the direction where Chen Ming left, with a meaningful smile on his face.
