The sound of a paw stepping on leaves echoed, and Xiao Zhenyun immediately released a guiding element, whispering, “Don’t move!”

 

The wolf hesitated for a moment, seemingly understanding his words. Its raised paw hung in the air before obediently returning to the ground.

 

On the other end, Si Di regained a moment of clarity in his eyes. He quickly checked the magnetic restraint ring on his wrist and found that the power was inexplicably set to the lowest level. He immediately adjusted it to the maximum, and the next second, his wrists collided with a resounding crash.

 

Xiao Jingfeng and the others hurriedly arrived at that moment. Although they couldn’t comprehend why Si Di regained his sanity amidst the mental chaos, that didn’t stop them from shouting for four sentinels to join forces and firmly bind Si Di with restraint belts before stuffing him into a confinement bag, leaving only his face exposed.

 

Si Di had remained emotionally stable all along, and Ye Feiran would periodically provide him with mental grooming during the banquet. So why did he suddenly lose control? Coupled with the inexplicably malfunctioning restraint ring, Xiao Jingfeng’s gaze turned icy and he stood at the boundary between shadows and light.

 

Suddenly, he keenly sensed something and loudly shouted towards a shaking tangle of vines, “Who’s there?!”

 

Xiao Zhenyun’s scalp tightened, and even the white fur inside his deer ears stood on end.

 

Without needing the Guild Chairman to waste any more words, a sentinel quickly walked towards the direction where Xiao Zhenyun was hiding. The shaking of the vine tangle intensified in an instant. The sentinel vigilantly reached for his back, intending to draw his gun. However, in the next second, a pair of slender, sharp split antlers emerged from above the vines. 

 

Immediately after, a dainty and delicate deer head followed, with golden-brown eyelashes fluttering and innocent, glossy eyes innocently gazing at the approaching person.

 

A deer?!

 

Everyone witnessing this scene couldn’t believe their eyes.

 

They instantly realized that this was the male deer that existed in Si Di’s memory.

 

Si Di, who was bound on the ground, struggled desperately, resembling a dying fish. Meaningless roars escaped his mouth, conveying desires and longings. He was caught between madness and semi-consciousness, with his rationality and memories functioning, yet completely unable to control his own actions.

 

The male deer lifted its front hoof lightly and leaped out from behind the vines.

 

It was as if a king was inspecting his own backyard, arrogantly raising his head, while his short, fluffy tail swayed gently. He strolled past the sentinels without a care, casting a disdainful glance at Xiao Jingfeng before leisurely walking toward Si Di.

 

Si Chu, who had bruises and swelling all over his face, held his breath, while Ye Feiran joyfully grasped his hand.

 

The male deer paused beside Si Di, lifted its right front hoof…

 

And ruthlessly kicked the metal mask.

 

“…”

 

While the male deer’s catwalk on the T-stage captured everyone’s attention, Xiao Zhenyun quickly slipped away from the side gate of Si’s residence without a word.

 

The efficiency of the administrator was satisfactory. By the time Xiao Zhenyun had finished taking a shower at home, he had already gathered a great deal of information about the incident. When Xiao Zhenyun entered the study in his pajamas, he found Xiao Nian reclining in the swivel chair, absentmindedly playing with the unloaded pistol in his hand.

 

“Take it far away, I’m tired of looking at it.” Xiao Zhenyun uncomfortably propped up his head with the two antlers standing upright, took a gulp of the blended liquor handed to him by the robotic arm. 

 

The suppressive effect of the fusion state inhibition medication had worn off, causing his agitated emotions to trigger the emergence of antlers, deer ears, and a deer tail, and this was the first time he wore underwear with openings both in the front and back.

 

Xiao Nian couldn’t help but glance a few more times at the constantly shaking deer ears, feeling a strong urge to pinch them. Then he remembered the main business at hand and pushed the gun from the smooth tabletop towards the other person, saying, “The company under your name.”

 

Xiao Zhenyun raised an eyebrow, “Hmm?”

 

“You own 15% of the shares in the MP Research Institute, which specializes in studying the psychic abilities of special individuals, and you provide them with free firearms support every year,” Xiao Nian explained. “And the MP Research Institute is the predecessor of the human experimentation base that was destroyed by the male lead and the male second lead later on.”

 

“…”

 

“The research direction publicly claimed by MP is how to enhance the psychic abilities of special individuals to a greater extent, but privately they conduct experiments that are prohibited by almost every country in the world: how to evolve ordinary people into special individuals. Initially, the test subjects volunteered, but later, due to the high mortality rate and insufficient number of subjects caused by the direct application of the technology on the human body in extremely immature conditions, they colluded with the largest domestic human trafficking organization and conducted forced experiments.”

 

“…” Xiao Zhenyun also started to get a headache, especially since the antlers were quite heavy, almost pressing on his brain nerves. “Does ‘Xiao Zhenyun’ know about all this?”

 

Xiao Nian glanced at him and slowly said, “‘Xiao Zhenyun’ is not aware of the private research direction. He invested in the MP Research Institute purely to see if it could rekindle his depleted psychic abilities. He also doesn’t know that the test subjects have become innocent human beings. He still thinks the subjects are mere guinea pigs, as well as corpses and dead prisoners.”

 

“However, conducting human experiments using death row inmates is still illegal, so after the Storm Squad, led by Si Di, completed their original mission, they accidentally discovered clues and investigated all the way…”

 

“‘Xiao Zhenyun’ is well aware of this situation and actively provides weapons to facilitate the institute. He intends to set a trap and ambush the Storm Squad, wanting to use their hand to kill Si Di, who discovered his true identity and intervened in his stake in the research institute,” Xiao Zhenyun concluded, while Xiao Nian nodded silently beside him.

 

Damn, it’s a deadly enmity.

 

In the original storyline, although ‘Xiao Zhenyun’ was not the mastermind, he indirectly caused Si Di’s tragic fate. After the complete annihilation of the Storm Squad, he managed to preserve his own image and continue being the vice chairman perceived as pure as jade in everyone’s eyes. The MP Research Institute also quietly returned to the underwater depths unscathed, fading from the Guild’s sight and committing numerous heinous crimes in the following years.

 

Things suddenly became complicated, but the most important thing was to quickly sever ties with the research institute that had essentially moved his whole family into the realm of criminal law.

 

Xiao Nian immediately opened the terminal, summoning several important managers, executives, and secretaries under Xiao Zhenyun’s name to work overtime. They discussed selling all the shares in the short term and unilaterally tearing up all the agreements signed with the institute, and then engaged in heated debates on how to minimize the losses.

 

Xiao Zhenyun didn’t care much about money; he valued his life more. He had earned money on Earth in his previous life but didn’t get to enjoy it. In this new world, he didn’t want to repeat the same mistake.

 

Flicking the handgun back and forth, he repeatedly recalled the bloodthirsty and cruel green eyes, suddenly saying, “I’m thinking… perhaps Si Di doesn’t have any evidence in his hands. His actions tonight seem more like… he thought I still harbored evil intentions and tried to molest Si Chu. It was an impulsive move fueled by his temporary fervor.”

 

“Otherwise, what’s the point of threatening me? Besides raising the alarm and making me be on guard in advance… because there’s no evidence, he can only issue a warning in a fierce yet cowardly manner and deliberately leave behind a handgun manufactured by the company under my name, pretending to have a complete understanding of everything. But in reality, his tail is between his legs, he’s a hypocrite…”

 

“And even if he learns about my investment in the MP Research Institute, he can’t do anything to me. He can’t prove my involvement in the underground experiments conducted by the institute, nor do I have any actual connection to them. Even without relying on my position as the vice chairman, I can completely retreat unscathed from this incident… all he can do is intimidate me with words.”

 

Xiao Zhenyun burst into laughter. After a series of speculations, he felt as if he had finally regained a small victory from Si Di’s hands, barely salvaging some dignity for himself in the chaotic atmosphere of the Si residence.

 

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, fearing that under the sheets he would find Si Di, cunning and wicked, stepping on his manhood.

 

As he looked at the long-haired man with a villainous expression, Xiao Nian asked expressionlessly, “So, what are you suggesting?”

 

“Cut all ties, sever connections, don’t want to end up in jail.”

 

“What about saving him?” Xiao Nian asked again.

 

Xiao Zhenyun fell silent for a moment, took a drag from his cigarette, and said, “Keep that a secret for now, use it to our advantage in the future. Who knows, it might save a life.”

 

“Do you plan on…?” Xiao Nian hesitated with his words.

 

Fortunately, Xiao Zhenyun and he were on the same wavelength, no need to finish the sentence for the other to understand. He fiercely pinched out the cigarette, feeling frustrated as he thought about his role as a pure antagonist in this matter, harming the righteous. He didn’t even have the confidence to fight back… but could he really avoid trouble?

 

“Not planning to. If the white-eyed wolf wants to combine with someone, he can find someone else. I won’t serve him.”

 

The author has something to say:

 

A certain wolf, who witnessed everything: …
