My Ares Son-in-Law

As he spoke, Xiao Chen slowly stood up, his eyes sharp as a torch, as if he had seen through the struggle and contradictions in the leper's heart. He knew that a head-on confrontation with such a tough opponent would only make the two sides more deadlocked, so he decided to adopt another strategy, a more subtle and more testing strategy.

After saying this, Xiao Chen did not pause for a moment. With an almost cold precision, he slowly pulled out the old cell phone from the leper's pocket.

The shell of this mobile phone is slightly worn, revealing the traces of time, but it still stubbornly adheres to its duty - to protect the owner's secrets.

It does not have the gorgeous appearance of modern smartphones, nor does it have complex biometric technology. It relies solely on a simple digital password to become the last line of defense for the leper to communicate with the outside world.

A sly look flashed across the eyes of the leper, and he thought to himself: "Hmph, even if you are a master, without the password, you can't pry into the secrets of my phone, let alone find out who I have contacted." An inexplicable confidence surged in his heart, as if that string of digital passwords was his last dignity and pride.

However, Xiao Chen's next move completely shattered his fantasy. Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly became deep and mysterious, and he slowly stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the leper's temple, as if they were engaging in an invisible contest.

Immediately afterwards, an incredible scene took place - Xiao Chen actually slowly pulled out a wisp of transparent thread from the poison master's head. The thread swayed gently in the air, emitting a faint light, like the faintest starlight in the night sky.

The leper stared in astonishment. He could not understand what was happening before his eyes. What on earth was that transparent thread? Why did it exist in his mind? He had a premonition of an unprecedented crisis, as if the secret deep in his heart was about to be ruthlessly revealed.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face, which contained both pity for the poison master's ignorance and confidence in his own abilities.

He explained softly, "This is naturally about memorizing the password, a more direct and efficient method. Compared to extracting all your memories, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and the burden is so small that it can be almost ignored."

As Xiao Chen finished speaking, he quickly brought the transparent thread into his mind. After a moment, he seemed to have mastered the digital password. He entered the password skillfully, and the phone screen lit up. Call records, text messages, contact lists... everything was under his control.

Xiao Chen's eyes quickly scanned the screen, and finally stopped at a few familiar names - Lin Sheng and Lin Yi, whose artistic conception had faded, and Lin Wei, who made him suspicious. These names were like puzzles, waiting for Xiao Chen to unravel the truth behind them.

And he seemed to be eager to unveil all this.

Although the content of Lin Wei's call half an hour ago was unclear, Xiao Chen had an idea in his mind. It was probably to inquire about the progress of the mission. He knew Lin Wei's style very well. She had extremely high requirements for mission execution efficiency, and any delay would not escape her eyes.

At this moment, looking at the figure of the poison master trembling with fear, Xiao Chen became more certain of his guess.

"Pa!" A crisp slapping sound broke the tranquility of the air and also broke the inner defense of the poison master. Xiao Chen's action was swift and decisive. He slapped the poison master in the face mercilessly, leaving a bright red mark. His eyes were full of anger and disdain, as if he was punishing the poison master for his stupidity and stubbornness. "Shameless thing!" Xiao Chen cursed, his voice mixed with undisguised anger, "I gave you a chance to tell the truth, but you chose to remain silent. What's the result? I still found the answer."

The leper's cheeks were burning with pain, but he felt even more shocked and desperate. Facing Xiao Chen's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he finally realized how powerless and stupid his resistance was.

He lowered his head and explained in a hoarse voice: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really because Lin Wei...she is cruel and ruthless. If I really told you everything, she would definitely kill me." His tone was full of fear and helplessness, which was a deep fear of death and a ruthless compromise with reality.

Xiao Chen sneered, and in that laugh there was both a mockery of the poison master's weakness and an anticipation for the truth that he was about to uncover.

"It seems that you don't have much respect for me. Instead, you are more afraid of Lin Wei." He said slowly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone, "But you are so naive that you actually think you can escape this way. You don't understand me at all."

After saying that, Xiao Chen picked up the phone without hesitation, tapped the screen a few times, and directly dialed Lin Wei's number.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the voice that was about to come from the other end of the phone. For the poison master, this phone call was not only a verdict on his fate, but also a concentrated outburst of fear and despair deep in his heart.

"Poison Master, has the mission been completed? Is Xiao Chen so angry that he wants to vomit blood?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. There was a hint of playfulness and anticipation in her tone, as if this invisible contest was just a game to her.

Although Xiao Chen had never seen Lin Wei in person, nor had he ever heard her unique voice, the aura that could not be underestimated and the precise grasp of the situation revealed in her words made him almost certain that this was the legendary Lin Wei.

Xiao Chen's lips curled up into a faint smile, his eyes flashing with confidence and determination. He slowly said, "You are Lin Wei, right? I have heard of your reputation. However, I regret to tell you that the Toxic Master is no longer the same person he used to be. He has chosen the side of justice and has turned from darkness to light."

"As a witness and handler of all this, I have already properly arranged everything here. Next, I will go to the Hai family as soon as possible to meet you, the master behind the scenes, in person."

"As for your question about whether I am so angry that I want to vomit blood - ha, you should be the one vomiting blood... Never mind, what I am more interested in now is what kind of person is so cunning and cruel, manipulating all this in the dark. I really want to know what you, a 'bitch' described by the outside world as magical but controversial, look like."

When he said this, his speech was not fast, but every word was clear, and every word was like a carefully carved arrow, striking the heart. In Xiao Chen's eyes, there was both anticipation for unknown challenges, curiosity about Lin Wei's identity, and excitement and urgency about uncovering the truth. (End of this chapter)
