Seeing that the high priest was indeed at a loss for words, Jiang Xuecheng’s long brows furrowed, and her expression was as cold as ice.

  At this moment, Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was tense, and the veins on her forehead were ferocious. He was like a wild beast that had been provoked by someone. If something went wrong, he would bite off her neck!

  The high priest had always been experienced and knowledgeable. However, when she saw Jiang Xuecheng like this, an inexplicable chill appeared in her heart.

  She could only rejoice that she had enough backup plans!

  It was the same as striking while the iron is hot!

  And she had already taken control of Jiang Xuecheng’s weakness at the earliest possible moment!

  At this moment of life and death, the high priest’s heart was clear and ruthless. She even felt lucky for her foresight!

  She did not believe that Jiang Xuecheng would let Su Wan suffer!

  However, after about ten seconds, Jiang Xuecheng did not let go of the high priest’s throat. Instead, he clenched his hands tighter and tighter.

  The high priest’s lips began to turn blue and purple. She had difficulty remembering her breathing. She even began to wonder if she had made a mistake!

  Perhaps for a proud person like Jiang Xuecheng, compared to Su Wan, he cared more about his own life and safety?

  Just as the high priest was feeling anxious, Jiang Xuecheng’s hand finally reached down and grabbed her collar.

  The high priest heaved a sigh of relief.

  She rubbed her throat in pain, feeling a lingering fear in her heart!

  But fortunately, since Jiang Xuecheng was willing to let go at the last moment, it proved that she had made the right bet!

  The high priest was proud in her heart. She took a few deep breaths, and her originally ugly expression gradually eased up.

  Jiang Xuecheng looked at the high priest, and for a moment, he even wanted to throw her against the wall, but in the end, he slowly let go of the high priest’s collar.

  His expression was cold, and he looked down at the high priest, his gaze as malicious as a snake.

  “Where is the antidote?!”


  Jiang Xuecheng repeated this question. That handsome face that was as cold as ice actually made people’s hair stand on end, and they felt a chill run down their spines.

  “Oh, the progress of CHK Virus No.3 is not smooth. We have not researched the antidote yet, and we don’t even know the characteristics of the drug.”


  As he spoke, the High Priest’s voice was as clear as mountains and flowing water, and her tone was even flat, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

  However, in Jiang Xuecheng’s ears, it was like a sharp knife, directly cutting his heart.

  Jiang Xuecheng’s vision turned black again, and his pupils contracted to the extreme!

  In the next second, he stared with his eyes wide open, suddenly wanting to throw this incomparably cruel woman out!

  His Su Wan……

  That woman who couldn’t suffer much and could easily turn into a crying bag whenever she saw him get injured……

  Jiang Xuecheng casually opened the drawer and picked up a sharp knife hidden inside.

  He was faster than an afterimage. The high priest’s eyes froze. She felt a cold metal knife on her neck.

  Jiang Xuecheng was merciless. The high priest could already feel that the knife had slightly pierced into her skin.

  It was a very, very shallow wound. It did not hurt much, but the high priest could smell the faint smell of rust.

  In an instant, the high priest’s beautiful brows furrowed!

  Her heart was extremely disgusted!

  The high priest hated the smell of blood, and especially hated the fact that the smell of blood came from her body!

  “Emperor! What are you doing?! Do you think that by doing this, Su Wan will have the antidote?!”


  The High Priest glared angrily at Jiang Xuecheng.

  However, Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze was colder than hers. At the same time, it carried a hatred that went straight to the bone!

  Jiang Xuecheng hated being threatened the most!

  Moreover, the other party had used Su Wan to threaten him. The crime was unforgivable!

  Above his head was a crystal chandelier in the shape of a lotus petal. The half-bright and half-dark light shone on Jiang Xuecheng’s face. Perhaps it was due to his anger, his contours were tense, and his eyes were so sinister that it made people cower in fear.

  “Do you think I’ll believe you? Where’s the antidote? Give it to me directly! Otherwise, I will slash down!”


  As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng’s knife went deeper.

  Fresh blood flowed down the high priest’s neck and blossomed into bright blood-red flowers. It was strange and mournful.

  The high priest let out a low groan in pain.

  It had been many years since she had been threatened like this, and she had never had the experience of someone holding a knife to her neck.

  She had never thought that the young man she had personally supported would be able to do it!

  Good, very good……

  The high priest laughed coldly in her heart, but the expression on her face was still as calm as ever. It was cold and elegant.

  It was as if he was not on the weaker side. She was high and mighty, and it should be Jiang Xuecheng who was being controlled by someone!

  The high priest knew that Jiang Xuecheng looked crazy, but she did not believe that Jiang Xuecheng would really kill her!

  Because as long as Jiang Xuecheng cared about Su Wan, he did not dare to gamble!

  The scene was extremely strange. Although her neck was bleeding, the smile on the high priest’s face was as calm as the spring breeze.

  “I’m already like this, is there still a need to lie to you? I’m the person who values my life the most, there’s no need to use my life to gamble on an insignificant commoner girl.”


  When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, he stared at the high priest with his eyes wide open, his fists clenched even tighter.

  The high priest observed Jiang Xuecheng’s expression. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s constricted pupils and knew that she had already achieved half of her goal.

  “However, I can guarantee you that the CHK Virus No.3 is a slow-acting drug. Although it will cause the grower to feel pain from time to time, it will definitely not take Su Wan’s life in a short period of time.”


  Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes flashed, but his hands did not slow down in the slightest. Instead, he cut the high priest’s neck even deeper.

  The high priest was extremely angry, but he still maintained a calm expression on the surface.

  “Believe me, I’ve already said that I’m using Su Wan to pin you down. I don’t need to let her die so quickly. At least for the next five years, Su Wan’s life will not be in danger.”


  However, she could not guarantee other things.

  For example, her intelligence had deteriorated, her organs had failed, and her entire body was paralyzed. For example, Su Wan was like those small animals. She could not bear the pain of the outbreak of the CHK number three virus and wanted to commit suicide……

  A person’s life was unpredictable. If Su Wan’s willpower was not strong enough, the blame could fall on the virus, right?

  This was not a virus that could quickly and directly kill a person!

  “Oh, although I don’t have a cure for the root of the problem, in order to alleviate the self-harm of small animals, I developed an antidote to alleviate the pain. Do you need it?”


  Jiang Xuecheng placed the knife firmly on the high priest’s neck. His voice was very cold.

  “What I want is a cure!”


  When the high priest heard this, she revealed a disdainful smile.

  “You want a cure? Fine, then let me go first. I can get people to study it. I can also give you the formula for my CHK Virus No.3, but I can’t help you with anything else!”


  “If you insist on killing me to vent your anger, you won’t even have the chance to save Su Wan!”
