Lan Bing looked at him calmly. "I'm not talking nonsense. You just found out now."
Chu Yifeng's eyes turned red. He screamed, "Why?
Why are you doing this? "
Lan Bing turned around and looked at the screen. "Do you see these images?"
Chu Yifeng was stunned again. "What do you mean?"
Lan Bing explained calmly, "Even the most talented people in our corporation can't figure out the secrets of this person. Do you think he's too strong or we're too weak?
Two years ago, this person was just a laborer, an inferior race that was exiled. You can't even deal with a laborer. Do you think Mr. Chu will trust you enough to take over the corporation? "
Chu Yifeng was speechless. He thought of himself as God's favored son, the most promising successor of the corporation, but he couldn't even beat a laborer in his own territory. In the fight just now, he couldn't even touch Ding Meng's clothes.
Yes, if he was Chu Ming Liang, he wouldn't have handed over the Chu family's business to someone like him. That would be destroying his own foundation.
However, Chu Yifeng was still unconvinced. He roared, "But that's not a reason for you to follow this old man!"
Lan Bing looked at him with contempt. "Since I agreed to be Mr. Chu's woman, I don't have a status. However, after I become Mr. Chu's assistant, I will naturally help him manage all of his businesses, shoulder the mission of revitalizing the corporation, and help him choose a suitable successor. I'm doing this for the big picture …"
"Bitch!" Chu Yifeng suddenly slapped her.
He didn't use any Origin Energy, and Lan Bing didn't dodge. She allowed the slap to land on her face, and a fiery handprint appeared on her beautiful face. Her hair, which had been tied up in a bun, fell down.
However, Lan Bing still looked very calm despite her disheveled hair. She was so calm that it sent chills down one's spine. She wiped the corner of her mouth with her finger. She smelled a faint salty taste, and her expression became even more contemptuous. "Uncle Ping is right. You can't even protect your own woman, and when you can't protect her, you hit your own woman. Not only have you failed, but you're also disappointing."
Chu Yifeng was furious. He kicked Lan Bing to the ground. "Bitch, you're mine. No one is allowed to take you away from me!"
Then, he grabbed Lan Bing's collar and lifted her up. "Look, I'm your man. I'm not anyone else, especially not that old man."
Lan Bing couldn't be bothered with him. Her face was still as cold as ever.
Usually, when Chu Yifeng saw Lan Bing's cold and elegant demeanor, he always felt that it was a kind of inviolable beauty. But now, seeing this kind of expression, the anger in his heart was enough to destroy everything. At this moment, his anger won over his rationality. He tore off Lan Bing's suit jacket, then tore off her sleeves with a ripping sound, exposing her white arms to the air.
Chu Yifeng clenched her arm and released his Origin Energy. A red dot immediately appeared in the center of Lan Bing's flawless arm. It was as red as cinnabar.
Chu Yifeng suddenly laughed crazily. "Very good. You said you wanted to become this old man's woman. Unfortunately, you're not yet. I won't give him this chance."
Lan Bing's expression finally changed. "What are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do?"
Chu Yifeng replied fiercely as he took off his jacket. "I want you to become my woman now."
Then, he pressed down hard on Lan Bing's shoulder. With a tug of his fingers, half of her snow-white blouse was torn apart, exposing a large patch of skin.
Greed immediately appeared in Chu Yifeng's eyes. He had been drooling over this body for far too long. In the past, he had always fantasized about the two of them being in love. But this time, he couldn't wait any longer. The situation didn't allow him to wait any longer. Whether she was the old man's woman or he was the one who forced himself on her, he had to have her first. He would never allow anyone else to touch his things.
Lan Bing stood there without moving, allowing Chu Yifeng to tear her body apart. However, there was a trace of sadness in her cold eyes. She seemed to have known that this day would come sooner or later. She had been mentally prepared for it.
However, at this moment, a thunderous voice came from the door. "Enough!"
Chu Yifeng suddenly woke up. He looked back and found that Ge Ping was already in front of him.
Before he could react, Ge Ping slapped him and sent him flying. He bounced against the wall and fell down, smashing a pile of instruments into pieces.
Chu Yifeng on the ground looked at Ge Ping in surprise. "Uncle Ping, you …"
Ge Ping interrupted him sternly. "Bastard, do you know what you are doing?"
Chu Yifeng shouted hoarsely, "Bing 'er was originally my woman!"
Ge Ping snorted coldly. "She might have been in the past, but now she is no longer. After a while, you should call her grandaunt. How dare you mess with her? Do you really think the rules of the Chu family don't exist?"
The three words "Grandaunt" were like a sudden clap of thunder in Chu Yifeng's head. If he really did something to Lan Bing, once the news spread, it would be a huge scandal. It was hard to say whether Lan Bing would be fine or not, but he, Chu Yifeng, would definitely be expelled from the Chu family. Furthermore, he would be cut into eight pieces and fed to the dogs by Chu Ming Liang.
Chu Yifeng was still in shock, but Ge Ping slightly bowed his head to Lan Bing.
Lan Bing put on her coat and replied indifferently, "I'm fine. Thank you, Uncle Ping."
Ge Ping turned his head and glared at Chu Yifeng. "You come out with me!"
Chu Yifeng angrily climbed up from the ground. No matter how lawless he was, he didn't dare to be rash in front of Ge Ping. This was a loyal follower who had followed the old man for two hundred years. He was a founding member of the Chu family who had fought with the old man until now. Sometimes, his words were equivalent to the old man's words.
However, Chu Yifeng wasn't willing to give up. When he walked out of the door, he turned his head and glared at Lan Bing fiercely. His eyes were no doubt warning her: Don't think you can escape from my hands. I will be back later …
Lan Bing didn't care. She just gently tidied up her clothes and slightly operated her Origin Energy. The five fingerprints on her face quickly faded.
With a "wu wu" sound, the alloy door closed again.
Lan Bing turned around and was surprised to find that Ding Meng had opened his eyes at some point.
Ding Meng was also very calm. He was already aware of what had just happened, and he also knew that he was in a very bad situation.
All of the origin points in his body were on the verge of being extinguished. Only a feeble wisp of Origin Energy was circulating in his body, protecting his body. His blood circulation was extremely slow, and his internal organs were extremely cold, as if they had all been frozen.
Ding Meng had experienced this feeling before. When he had fought against Sun Shiling during the exam, Sun Shiling's Winter Ice Dust Storm had injected him with Origin Energy molecules that had extremely strong penetrative properties. These Origin Energy molecules were known as Origin Bodies. They could seal off the circulation of blood and slow down the recovery of Origin Energy. It was as if all of the Origin Energy molecules had been locked. If you wanted to unlock them, you had to slowly use your Origin Energy to melt them down.
Right now, Ding Meng's Origin Energy had almost completely blocked off all of the capillaries in his body. It was obvious that Lan Bing had injected it into him while he was unconscious. Based on what he could sense, Lan Bing's strength was actually about the same as his own. Furthermore, his hands and feet were still bound by the Origin Energy Cuffs. Ding Meng wasn't confident in being able to break free. He could only use his consciousness to summon Little Rascal.
"How much time do I have left?"
Little Rascal sighed. "Ding Meng, based on your current Origin Energy, you will need twelve hours to awaken Xiao 'ai, ninety-six hours to melt down 13 Origin Bodies, and 142 hours to completely melt them down. After that, you will need three hours to reconstruct the first five Origin Bodies, and eight hours to absorb Origin Energy......"
Ding Meng didn't say anything. He understood why Little Rascal had sighed. These numbers told him that if he wanted to return to normal, he would need at least half a month or a month. Moreover, these were just the conditions for time. He hadn't even factored in the fact that he would need to absorb the Inverse Origin Crystal's Origin Energy and refine the Origin Energy. His actual recovery would probably take even longer.
This time, he was the meat on the chopping block in the truest sense of the word.
This time, it was different from the dangerous situations and life-threatening situations he had faced in the past. This wasn't because the enemy was too powerful, but because his combat strength had been depleted.
Ding Meng suddenly calmed down. He knew that he couldn't be anxious at a time like this. He had to patiently wait for the right opportunity. He believed that the heavens would always leave a way out. Since the heavens had blocked this path, they would definitely open another window for him.
Lan Bing suddenly said, "You're still the same as before. You haven't changed much."
Ding Meng frowned. He didn't understand this, but he quickly understood because Lan Bing continued, "However, you've changed a lot as well. So much so that we had no choice but to resort to extreme measures."
Ding Meng's calmness and cautiousness hadn't changed. The biggest change was in the strength he had cultivated in a short period of time.
Ding Meng suddenly sighed. "I've finally figured out one thing!"
Lan Bing stared at him. "What is it?"
Ding Meng said, "So the person who really wanted the K-virus wasn't you or Chu Yifeng, but Chu Mingliang!"
Lan Bing was silent. She seemed to be thinking about something. "But the person who really got the K-virus was you!"
Ding Meng said, "You're wrong. I didn't get it either!"
Lan Bing was stunned. "You didn't get it?"
Ding Meng nodded. "The K-virus fused with me. I didn't get it, but it chose me."
Lan Bing looked surprised. "You mean, you're the carrier of the K-virus?
Or, you're the carrier chosen by the K-virus? "
Ding Meng said, "Yes!"
Lan Bing looked at him and nodded solemnly. "I believe you!"
This time, it was Ding Meng's turn to be stunned. "Oh?
I stole the K-virus, killed Baines, killed your War Reverend, and went against all of you. You still believe me? "
Lan Bing nodded. "That's right. It's because you're my enemy that I trust you!"
Ding Meng found it hard to understand. Fortunately, Lan Bing took the initiative to explain. "Sometimes, the person who truly trusts you is your enemy. Because only your enemy will value you, study you, and believe in you. Otherwise, you'll die in his hands."
This was a very profound thought. Ding Meng seemed to understand something. He stared at her and said, "And sometimes, the person who betrays you is your friend?"
"Correct!"
Lan Bing walked to the control panel and turned off the screen. "There's another reason why I trust you."
Ding Meng said, "What's the reason?"
Lan Bing's lips curled into an almost imperceptible sneer. "You're racing against time to repair yourself. If you want to delay me and buy precious time, you have to give me something to move me. You're a smart person. You know that lying won't make me stay. So, I absolutely believe that you're telling the truth."
