1096 Please Don't Kill Me

Cheng Tianan looked at her carefully and said, "If you believe me, you can let me answer your questions before you let him control me. If I have guessed it right, he's a spirit-powered zombie, isn't he?"

Lin Qiao looked at him. She would know if he was telling the truth without having him controlled. She didn't tell him that but looked at him and smiled quietly.

She summoned Pesticide mainly because she wanted to stop that silly zombie from sneakily eating vegetables, and not to let him control the man! There were a lot of vegetables, and it was fine for him to eat some. But, he only picked the tenderest parts to eat, and Lin Qiao really couldn't bear watching his sneaky movements.

She knew clearly that the zombie had sneakily picked some tender sprouts and leaves from the vegetable field and hid them behind the wall, planning to enjoy them slowly! She hadn't brought Lu Tianyi into her space recently, so there was no one disciplining the zombie.

Lin Qiao spent a short while smiling in silence. As Cheng Tianan became so nervous that his heart even thumped audibly, she said to him blandly, "You know my secret. Do you think that I can still let you live?"

On hearing that, Cheng Tianan gave a start and then started to tremble. He felt not good at all.

"I… I will follow your lead!" he hurriedly said to her.

Lin Qiao looked at him and smiled coldly, "You betrayed Li Zhengye so easily. You might betray me like this too. How dare I let someone like you be around me!"

Cheng Tianan shivered, then abruptly knelt and screamed, "No, no, no! I will never betray you! I swear! I really won't! Please, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

As he knelt on the ground, Lin Qiao looked down at him and asked, "So tell me, where is Li Zhengye's secret lab? Who is the man who brought news to Li Zhengye? Has Li Zhengye sent anyone to find out my true identity?"

Cheng Tianan was so scared that he almost collapsed. Hearing Lin Qiao's questions, he immediately responded with, "I know where the lab is! I can take you there! Li Zhengye didn't send people to find out if you're a zombie because he doesn't believe that man. I don't know who that man is. I only know that he's a robber, and that he's working together with Li Zhengye. He doesn't show up in the base often, only coming in when he has something important to say to Li Zhengye! All I said is real! Please don't kill me!"

Having finished talking, Cheng Tianan lay on the ground and curled up, his entire body shaking.

"Don't you know what the man's name is?" Lin Qiao furrowed her brows slightly. She seemed to be a little unhappy as she didn't get the answer she wanted.

"I… I don't know. All I know is Li Zhengye calls him Long Hair. Li Zhengye forbade other people from asking about him, so I don't know anything else about him. I'm telling you the truth! I'm not lying!" Cheng Tianan answered the question nervously.

Lin Qiao read his mind and sensed that he was telling the truth indeed. He really didn't know much about that man. But still, she didn't fully believe that he would follow her lead.

He said that he would never betray her, but she didn't believe that either. He could change his mind at any time. However, since he was willing to lead her to the lab, she didn't mind letting him live for a couple of more minutes.

"Take me there then," she said to him.

"Yes, ma'am!" Cheng Tianan was relieved. He figured that Lin Qiao wouldn't kill him just yet. Later on, he could try to find a way to run!

Lin Qiao sensed his thought and smiled coldly, "Head straight to that place later when you get out, and don't mind the other things. Also, don't think about running. You can't escape anyway."

After saying that, she stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Tianan's cloth on his back before bringing him out of the space.

Pesticide, who was left in the space, looked at where Lin Qiao disappeared from. Why did she summon him anyway?

Out of the space, Cheng Tianan raised his head and found that he was back in his office, He instantly turned and looked around; the woman wasn't there.

As he was wondering if she was still in the space, the files on his desk were suddenly swept to the floor.

Cheng Tianan gave a start and grew nervous again. He hurriedly walked out and saw the two guards standing there expressionlessly. He wanted to give them a secret signal, but was worried that the woman might see his move. So, he had no choice but to stiffly walk into the hallway.

Lin Qiao followed behind him. Not even Li Zhengye's assistant knew about the mysterious man. That man was clearly hiding deep. Was he a robber? No wonder he did zombie experiments using healthy human beings. It seemed that he was really no one good.

With his face tightened, Cheng Tianan walked out of the building and got into the car. He wanted to escape, but was worried that she might find him.

He almost forgot how to drive.

Lin Qiao hopped on top of his car, which then turned and turned as it drove to a remote area.

They soon arrived at an abandoned building that was strictly guarded. After arriving, Lin Qiao sniffed the air. Except for the scent of the guards who were hiding in the darkness, no scent was sensed from the building.

Li Zhengye's experiment had to be kept secret, so the underground was the safest place for it.

Cheng Tianan drove the car into the area and then parked.

Soon, an armed soldier in a black suit showed up and stopped Cheng Tianan, "Assistant Cheng? Is Chief here?"

While speaking, he glanced into Cheng Tianan's car and thought that someone else was in it. After all, every time Cheng Tianan showed up, Li Zhengye was with him.

Cheng Tianan's forehead was covered in sweat and his eyeballs were rolling all the time. He slightly dropped his head to look around, then raised his eyes and winked at the soldier.

"Eh? Isn't Chief in the car?" The soldier failed to receive his message but paid the attention to the car. He waited for a few seconds, but the Chief still didn't come out of the car. So, he confusedly walked toward the car and bent over to look into it. The car was empty.

Sweat was streaming down Cheng Tianan's forehead, and he didn't dare to linger there any longer.

"Chief sent me here to bring something to Professor Wang. He isn't here." With no other choice, he made up an excuse to explain to the soldier, then moved toward the entrance to the lab.

Little did he know that while he was trying to give the soldier an eye signal, Lin Qiao had already found the entrance to the lab. Silently, she sent out over twenty wisps of dark smoke toward all directions. Two wisps of smoke quickly flew into the noses of Cheng Tianan and the soldier behind him.

Then, Lin Qiao raised a hand and clenched her fingers. Following her movement, Cheng Tianan, the soldier, and the other twenty people who were hiding nearby in corners all froze. Their pupils spread subsequently and became lusterless.
