Chapter 266 New World
"Brother, don't be nervous." His voice was soft as water, yet with a creepy intimacy. "It will be fine soon."
Yang Xining's back was pressed against the decorative pillar at the edge of the stage, with nowhere to retreat.
She could feel the anaconda venom contained in the fluorescent green liquid in the syringe - once injected, even she, a hybrid of god and demon, would find it difficult to resist.
The guests in the audience were still cheering, completely unaware that this was a life-and-death battle.
"Brother, there are so many people watching us." She imitated Rong Tao's cynical tone, while her right hand quietly reached for the magic ring hidden in her suit pocket. "Can you please give me some face?"
Rong Hao's mouth curled up even wider. "I just want to prove to everyone how much my dear brother supports my career."
The needle tip moved closer.
A blue light flashed in the depths of Yang Xining's black eyes, and divine power surged in his blood vessels.
If she really couldn't escape, she could only reveal her identity and break out by force.
At this critical moment, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open.
“Sorry, there’s a traffic jam.”
A cold and noble voice broke the tense atmosphere.
Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance.
Mo Junli walked in slowly wearing a perfectly tailored dark gray suit, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses calm and sharp.
His presence brought with it an aura that even caused the music to stop unconsciously.
"Mr. Mo!" Rong Shicheng greeted him with surprise, "I didn't expect you to come!"
Mo Junli nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over the two people in a stalemate on the stage: "Looks like I missed the exciting part?"
Rong Hao's nerves trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "It's our honor to have Mr. Mo here."
Yang Xining took the opportunity to slide down from the edge of the stage and walked quickly towards Mo Junli: "Brother Mo! You are finally here!"
She deliberately used Rong Tao's usual frivolous tone, and at the same time, through the action of shaking hands, she quickly wrote the word "danger" on Mo Junli's palm.
Mo Junli pressed his fingertips lightly on her palm, indicating that he understood.
"Second Young Master Rong," he said calmly, "I heard you wanted to experience your brother's new invention?"
Yang Xining shrugged: "My brother is too enthusiastic and insists on using me as a guinea pig."
Rong Hao had already walked down from the stage, a proper smile on his face again: "Mr. Mo is also interested in biotechnology?"
"Of course." Mo Junli pushed up his glasses. "Why don't you let me try it out? Compared to celebrities, the data of entrepreneurs should be more valuable for reference."
The whole place was in an uproar.
Rong Hao's expression cracked for the first time: "This... I'm afraid it's not suitable. The chip is still in the testing phase..."
"It's okay." Mo Junli started to unbutton his suit. "I'm fully aware of the risks."
His eyes met Rong Hao's, and there seemed to be invisible sparks flying between the two of them.
Yang Xining's heart tightened.
Mo Junli was taking the bullet for her!
The venom in that syringe is absolutely fatal to humans!
"Brother Mo!" She grabbed Mo Junli's arm and said, "My brother hasn't obtained a license for this thing yet. If you want to try it, you have to wait until it's officially on the market!"
The corners of Rong Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and a barely perceptible green light flashed in his eyes. "Mr. Mo, you're joking. The first batch of trial users have all been strictly screened."
"Really?" Mo Junli slowly took off his glasses and took out a silk scarf from his pocket to wipe the lenses. "But this is the first time I've seen something like this. I want to learn more about the principle."
At this time, Lu Xinghan also came on stage, took the syringe, and examined it carefully under the light: "Interesting, I have never seen this kind of fluorescent component before. Dr. Rong, can you reveal its molecular structure?"
Rong Hao's smile was a little stiff: "Commercial secrets, sorry."
"I understand." Lu Xinghan nodded and suddenly turned to the audience, "Mr. Xiao! You also have research in biotechnology. Why don't you come up and take a look?"
Xiao Zonghe obviously didn't expect to be called, but under the gaze of everyone, he had no choice but to go on stage.
Yang Xining noticed that Xiao Zonghe's gaze was always lingering on his face, with a sense of inquiry.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Zonghe noticed something?
"Dr. Rong," Xiao Zonghe took the syringe, frowning slightly. "Isn't this injection method too primitive? Aren't modern biochips all minimally invasive implants?"
The green light in Rong Hao's eyes became even brighter. "Mr. Xiao, you don't know, this is a specially formulated carrier that needs to enter the blood circulation directly."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zonghe took out his phone and scanned it, frowning, "Strange, there's no record of this ingredient in the database. Dr. Rong, are you sure this was developed legally?"
Rong Hao's smile gradually disappeared: "What does Mr. Xiao mean by this?"
"What I mean is—" Mo Junli suddenly interrupted, his muscles tensing under his silver-gray suit, "This thing of yours doesn't look like a product of legitimate scientific research."
The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense.
The guests looked at each other, vaguely realizing that something was wrong.
Rong Shicheng frowned and glanced back and forth between the few people: "Hao'er, did this chip pass the security test?"
Gao Jun looked at his daughter with a sullen expression: "Xiaojuan, what on earth is going on?"
Gao Xiaojuan's eyes were hollow as she mechanically replied, "Father, Hao's research is a groundbreaking breakthrough. You should support him."
"Something's wrong..." Gao Jun suddenly grabbed his daughter's shoulders, "Xiaojuan! Look at me!"
The jade bracelet on Gao Xiaojuan's wrist suddenly lit up with a dazzling green light.
"Ah!" She let out a scream that was not human and pushed her father away.
"Xiaojuan!" Gao Jun staggered back and was supported by Mrs. Gao.
Gao Xiaojuan's pupils have turned into strange vertical pupils, and scaly patterns are faintly visible under her skin.
She mechanically turned to Rong Hao: "Master Si, please give me your instructions."
"Master Si?" Gao Jun's face changed drastically. "What Master Si?"
The gentle mask on Rong Hao's face completely shattered, and the corners of his mouth stretched to an impossible human angle: "Since the plan has been exposed in advance..." His voice became hoarse and low, "Let's start now."
He suddenly inserted the syringe in his hand into his neck, and the fluorescent green liquid was instantly injected into the blood vessels.
"Everyone, don't move!" Rong Hao shouted sternly, "Tonight, you will all become the cornerstone of the new world!"
Dozens of security guards suddenly rushed into the various exits of the banquet hall. They had empty eyes, stiff movements, and the same green light flashed at the back of their necks.
"The mind control of the Anaconda tribe..." Yang Xining murmured softly, his right hand already quietly reaching for the magic ring hidden in the inner pocket of his suit.
Mo Junli moved to her side without leaving a trace: "The plan has changed. Yan Tian's people have been stopped outside."
Lu Xinghan and Xiao Zonghe also slowly moved closer to them, and the four of them formed a defensive circle with their backs to back.
"Rong Hao! Are you crazy?" Rong Shicheng roared, "What are you doing?"
“Father,” Rong Hao said gently, “you will soon understand that this is for a greater purpose.”
He raised his hand and waved, and the controlled security guards immediately rushed towards the nearest guests, forcibly holding them down and injecting green liquid.
Screams came and went.
"Brother, now!" Mo Junli suddenly shouted.
Yang Xining no longer hesitated and tore off the transformation talisman on his collar.
A purple light flashed, and the appearance of "Rong Tao" faded like the tide, revealing Yang Xining's true appearance - black hair like a waterfall, purple eyes like stars, and a beautiful face full of murderous aura.
"What?!" Rong Shicheng's eyes widened. "Where's Rong Tao? Who are you?"
"Yang Xining..." Xiao Zonghe looked at the woman who suddenly changed in front of him in shock.
Qi Yuxiao also hugged his head fiercely. The drug suppression given to him by Xu Yanyan seemed to have lost its effect at this moment: "Yang... Xining..."
