Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Chen Zhou looked at Guo Le and said, "President Guo's emotions are quite unstable right now."

Guo Le was somewhat puzzled, but he could also sense the hidden meaning in Chen Zhou's words: "Young Master Chen, just say what you want to say."

Chen Zhou nodded and held up one finger: "Friendly price, 1000 million."

Under Guo Le's questioning gaze, Chen Zhou continued, "Just 1000 million, and I'll clear away all the trouble for you."

Just now, when Guo Le mentioned having to deal with personal matters at the Chen family home, Chen Zhou had a premonition that Guo Le was very likely to run into trouble.

Those with golden luck are part of the script of Heaven's will.

Their lives may be as smooth as those of winners, but at certain crucial junctures, they have to act like puppets on strings.

Just like Xue Yang yesterday, even though he didn't want to help Fu Wenting with the illegal transplant surgery, his body couldn't help but want to.

This same principle applies to Guo Le as well.

Guo Le is connected to the plot of the divine doctor.

Therefore, the failure of the Miracle Potion is clearly an important plot point in the story of the Divine Doctor.

With the legendary doctor there before, Guo Le shouldn't have any problems.

But now that Chen Zhou has completely taken away the divine doctor's luck, the divine doctor will not be aware of the situation here, so Guo Le is left to face it alone.

Without the help of the divine doctor, Chen Zhou sensed that something bad was going to happen here, so his words to Tong Xiao just now weren't entirely perfunctory.

Guo Le was taken aback, then thought of the thugs he had brought to the research lab.

Human nature is unpredictable; faced with a large sum of money, it's hard to guarantee they won't be tempted.

"Okay, whether there's trouble or not, I'll pay you ten million."

She had witnessed Chen Zhou's skill with flying needles.

Although we don't know exactly how strong he is, dealing with a dozen or so thugs shouldn't be a problem. Bringing Chen Zhou along would be safer.

Therefore, Guo Le agreed to Chen Zhou's words without the slightest hesitation.

Chen Zhou gave Guo Le an approving look: "I really like President Guo's way of handling things."

As he spoke, Chen Zhou mentally told the strategy system, "Absorb Guo Le's luck and leave her some for self-defense."

Unlike Chen Zhou, whose niche is villain, Guo Le's niche is hero.

Therefore, if Guo Le's luck is absorbed but a little bit remains, he can get it for free.

Simply put, it means enjoying the benefits brought by good fortune but not participating in the script.

Of course, this bit of luck won't bring much convenience compared to before, but it's much better than being forced to participate in the plot.

I cannot take away someone else's luck without their consent.

Chen Zhou paused slightly: "You're quite principled."

Then, Chen Zhou looked at Guo Le, who was walking beside him.

Under Guo Le's questioning gaze, he directly reached out his hand towards her spirit tablet.

Because Guo Le's luck was stronger than Xue Yang's, his resistance was more intense.

The outward manifestation was that Guo's Pharmaceuticals began to shake, as if an earthquake had struck.

Chen Zhou blinked: "A new trick?"

Unfortunately, Chen Zhou has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage and can easily dispel Guo Le's fortune.

As Chen Zhou took away Guo Le's luck, every piece of glass in Guo's Pharmaceutical exploded.

Fortunately, the glass shards only hit Chen Zhou and did not affect anyone else.

As the person closest to Chen Zhou, Guo Le clearly saw the glass pieces fall to the ground as if they had hit an air wall when they reached Chen Zhou.

Not a single feather can be added, not a single mosquito or fly can land!

Neutralize the force!

This is the power of transformation!

At this moment, Chen Zhou had already let go.

At the same time, he spoke to the strategy system in his mind: "From now on, as long as I have luck, you can eat me."

The little girl was dumbfounded. Her expression changed several times before she could only helplessly ask, "[You can do that?]"

Guo Le stared intently at Chen Zhou: "Does 1000 million still count as money?"

Retrieving the money that the old man transferred abroad would give me some spare cash, and learning from a master of internal energy cultivation would be a great idea.

Chen Zhou paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, of course it counts."

The two walked together to the research lab for the miracle drug.

Pushing open the door, the doctors in white coats inside were covered in blood and were all lifeless.

The thugs holding cheering sticks looked at Guo Le and Chen Zhou. Although they were stunned for a moment when they saw Chen Zhou, they immediately revealed malicious smiles.

Under Guo Le's somewhat nervous gaze, the door to the research room behind him slammed shut.

Guo Le turned around and saw two more people behind him.

At the same time, the two people swung their cheering sticks down at Chen Zhou's head the moment they closed the door.

"Is he that irritable?" Chen Zhou asked.

The next moment, the two figures fell to the ground with blood streaming from their heads and their necks twisted.

To the remaining dozen or so thugs, this scene turned into a horror movie.

They didn't see Chen Zhou make a move at all; they only saw two brothers rush over and then their heads tilt to the side.

They had no idea what had happened during that time.

Chen Zhou looked at Guo Le, who seemed somewhat dazed, and assumed she was scared, so he said, "I don't like killing people, so don't be afraid, they're not dead."

Chen Zhou was not lying; he truly disliked killing.

The events in the cultivation world taught Chen Zhou that everyone is merely a puppet of destiny, and it's not surprising that they might do anything.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Chen Zhou would not kill them, but would only take away their luck and distribute it to mortals.

If every mortal received a little bit, their lives would be much smoother.

When he was undergoing his tribulation, a mortal dynasty, which had been born because of the fortune-sharing method he had created, already dared to challenge cultivators.

Unfortunately, he failed to overcome his tribulation and will not be able to know the subsequent development of that dynasty for a short period of time.

Among the dozen or so thugs still standing, the tallest and most robust one stepped forward.

He looked at Chen Zhou: "A martial arts expert?"

Chen Zhou did not deny it, but simply asked, "Are you still going to resist?"

"Of course, I don't believe you can stop this!"

Before the words were even finished, a gunshot rang out.

"Unfortunately, I can actually block it."

Chen Zhou's voice rang out again, and a bullet appeared in his hand.

The burly thug's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing this scene.

But it's absolutely impossible to get him to give up so easily!

I just confirmed with that old bastard that there are 700 billion in that account, how could he possibly give it up?

Just as he was about to fire, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen; a gunshot wound had appeared on his body.

After throwing the bullet, Chen Zhou looked at the others and said in a gentle tone, "Anyone else want to try?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Zhou continued, "Don't worry, I'm a very kind person and rarely kill anyone."

No one responded to Chen Zhou's words.

They simply placed their light sticks on the ground silently, as a way of expressing their determination not to resist.

Chen Zhou nodded in satisfaction: "It seems you all know how to be pragmatic."

Seeing this, Guo Le asked the thugs, "Did you get the account and password?"

Now that the old man and those foreign devils are all dead, the account and password can only be in the hands of these thugs.

The thugs pointed at the burly henchman clutching his stomach in pain: "He's in the captain's hands."

Guo Le nodded and walked to the kneeling thug captain.

Before Guo Le could even begin to ask any questions, the thug leader attacked him.

His plan was simple: take Guo Le hostage and make this martial arts expert hesitate to act.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

A powerful force forced him back to his knees.

"I've been paid, how could I let you harm my employer in front of me?"

Under immense pressure, the thug captain's abdominal wound bled more, causing him to experience excruciating pain.

With a scream of pain, he roared, "A bunch of cowards! He's all alone, what are you afraid of?"

"700 billion! If we split it equally, we'll each have over a billion. That's enough for us to live a carefree life for several lifetimes, and our parents, wives, and children can also live a prosperous life."

"The opportunity is right in front of you, what are you chickening out for!"

The thug captain knew that he couldn't possibly fight against this skilled fighter on his own.

But as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands.

With so many people attacking together, we might be able to take down this expert.

Upon hearing this, the thugs who had put down their light sticks began to stir with renewed excitement.

As the henchman captain said, if everyone splits the money equally, they can get over a billion, so it's worth the gamble.

So, the thugs, who had just been stunned by Chen Zhou catching bullets one by one, picked up their cheering sticks again and started swinging them at Chen Zhou.

Seeing this scene, Guo Le no longer cared about it at all.

Chen Zhou was able to catch the bullets as soon as they were fired, so how could these people be faster than bullets?

With this thought in mind, Guo Le felt very at peace.

The next moment, all the security guards lay on the ground, unconscious, except for the thug captain who remained conscious.

As all the thugs fell at the same time, the thug leader's eyes were filled with fear.

He couldn't understand the situation at all.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said, "I can split the money in your account with you, as long as you let me go!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Le couldn't help but look at Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou didn't look at Guo Le, but instead said, "Do you think a thug like you could get money that requires a specific key? Do you even know where to get it? Do you know how to get it?"

The thug leader pointed at Guo Le: "We can grab her and go get it together!"

This was his original plan.

After taking the money, he killed Guo Le and then quickly left the country.

Chen Zhou nodded: "A good suggestion."

Just as Guo Lexin was in her throat, she heard Chen Zhou speak again: "But I refuse. I'll only take what I'm entitled to."

In this world, enough money is enough.

Chen Zhou, being a cultivator, could have as much money as he wanted if he really wanted it.

Therefore, it is impossible to bribe him with money.

He acts solely on his conscience; he does whatever he feels like doing.

Moreover, even if Chen Zhou really wanted the money in the account, it was all his money. Why should a thug share it with him?

Guo Le breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the thug leader: "Hand it over, and I promise I won't cause trouble for your parents, wife, and children."

The thug captain's eyes suddenly widened; he realized something.

Although the martial arts expert promised not to kill them, President Guo did not promise to let them go.

The implied meaning behind Guo Le's words was that they all had to die.

Chen Zhou looked at Guo Le with some surprise: "So you're not afraid?"

Guo Le replied matter-of-factly, "I'm a daughter of a wealthy family, what kind of situation haven't I seen?"

In Guo Le's view, every single one of these people must die.

Upon hearing Guo Le's words, the thug captain's heart sank.

He looked at Chen Zhou, opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But Chen Zhou didn't want to waste time with him, so he simply took out a bone-piercing needle and pricked it in his head.

As the one who was stabbed, the thug captain only felt a slight stinging pain in his head.

After the initial stinging sensation, the pain intensifies into excruciating pain.

He felt as if his head was being squeezed by a tremendous force, and the longer it went on, the greater the pressure became, and the more his head hurt.

He felt like his head was about to explode, but it just wouldn't.

The intense pain caused the thug captain to roll around on the ground clutching his head, letting out pitiful howls.

Guo Le looked at Chen Zhou and asked curiously, "Can internal force be used like this?"

Most of the martial artists she had seen used a style of fighting that involved punches landing squarely, and their power was delivered directly.

In Guo Le's understanding, the operation of channeling force into the brain without harming a person's life is actually a delicate skill, and she has never seen anyone do it.

Chen Zhou nodded: "It should be possible to achieve that with the Transformation Realm."

Guo Le: "Are you a Transformation Realm expert?"

Chen Zhou shook his head: "No."

Even the little character in the strategy guide was a bit curious: [罡劲?]

To be honest, she couldn't discern Chen Zhou's level of understanding or his methods, so she was quite curious.

At the same time as the strategy system spoke, Guo Le also asked, "罡劲?"

Chen Zhou still denied it: "No."

Guo Le was about to continue asking when the thug leader's voice rang out again: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, just give me a quick death."

As he spoke, the thug leader took out a slip of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou took it and handed it to Guo Le without even glancing at it.

Guo Le took out his phone and started contacting people.

Chen Zhou asked curiously, "Are these people reliable this time?"

Guo Le: "No one is more reliable than her."

This time, the person is Guo Le's younger sister, Guo Yueyue, a hacker genius.

Guo Yueyue also discovered the flow of funds for the research and development of the miracle drug.

Soon, Guo Le received news from his sister that her account and password were correct.

Then, Guo Le looked at Chen Zhou and said, "Could you please knock him out?"

Chen Zhou nodded and gently tapped the thug captain on the forehead, causing him to fall to the ground.

Immediately afterward, Guo Le said, "Come out with me."

After the two left the laboratory, Guo Le tossed an unidentified sealed test tube into it.

Meanwhile, Guo Le explained, "This is a failed version of an anesthetic gas that we developed before. If a person stays inside for too long, they will be poisoned and lose consciousness."

"At the same time, it is extremely flammable."

This is the method of death that Guo Le decided for the old swindler: poisoning followed by burning of his remains. However, now more of her henchmen have died.
