Ouyang Gong walked towards him step by step, a trace of a bullet graze on his face, yet his lips curved into a faint smile.
"Ouyang Gong! You... how can you be here?"
Ouyang Donghe's eyes widened, utterly disbelieving the scene before him.
Ouyang Gong regarded him with a teasing gaze, his eyes constantly scanning and lingering on Ouyang Donghe, as if appraising his prey.
He said lightly, "I didn't fall into your trap. You're disappointed, aren't you?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."
Sweat beaded on Ouyang Donghe's face, his heart in a panic, but he tried not to show it.
"Don't understand?" Ouyang Gong raised a lip. "Then allow me to ask, why were my men ambushed after landing on the island? Don't tell me it was Ouyang Zhenfeng's men who discovered them."
Ouyang Donghe now understood. Ouyang Gong had known about this all along.
Therefore, he had deliberately feigned falling into a trap.
This allowed them all to remain complacent while he took control of the Yinshan Laboratory.
"At this point, I have nothing to say. But I'm telling you, don't think you've already won. A mere laboratory, do you really think it holds so much power?"
Ouyang Donghe let out a cold laugh. Immediately, Ouyang Gong clapped his hands, and a man soon emerged from the crowd behind him.
It was a middle-aged man.
Professor Zhang!
Ouyang Donghe stared intently at the person before him. "Professor Zhang, you betrayed me!"
The person who had messaged him about the laboratory's troubles was Professor Zhang. He was the primary researcher at the Yinshan Laboratory, possessing strong professional capabilities. It could be said that all the reagents here were indebted to his contributions; he was effectively the second-in-command of Yinshan.
The biggest reason Ouyang Donghe felt at ease with the Yinshan Laboratory was that Professor Zhang was his man.
"Why! I want to know why!"
Ouyang Donghe questioned sternly, "I trusted you so much, and yet you conspired with Ouyang Gong to harm me!"
Professor Zhang lowered his head silently. "Second Master, I apologize."
These years at the Yinshan Laboratory, aside from his passion for the pharmaceutical industry, he had also been contemplating whether his actions were right.
But whether right or wrong, he was already deeply involved and couldn't escape.
Ouyang Gong was ruthless and adept at exploiting people's weakest points. With his family captured, he had no choice but to cooperate with Ouyang Gong.
What was the difference between Ouyang Gong and Ouyang Donghe?
"Bastard!"
Ouyang Donghe roared in anger, wishing he could shoot the man dead right there!
He then turned to Ouyang Gong and said furiously, "What exactly do you want to do? Why did you lure me here? What is your purpose?"
Ouyang Gong casually tidied his cuffs and said calmly, "You're so clever, you should be able to guess, shouldn't you?"
"What?"
Ouyang Donghe narrowed his eyes, instinctively sensing a threat.
In an instant, he realized his current situation: surrounded by a group of puppets, with Professor Zhang and key experimental personnel staring at him blankly.
He suddenly understood.
"No! How dare you! I am of the Ouyang family's direct lineage. If you dare to touch me, you will never leave this island alive!"
Ouyang Donghe said sternly, but the figures before him continued to advance.
Ouyang Gong curled his lips. "It seems you're not entirely foolish, guessing my plan. But do you think you still have room to resist?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of puppets swarmed forward, binding Ouyang Donghe securely and bringing him before Ouyang Gong.
"Ouyang Gong, when did you know about me?"
"What do you really want!"
"Let me go, let me go and I'll give you everything you desire!"
"As long as you let me go, I'll help you obtain the position of family head, Ouyang Gong!"
...
Ouyang Donghe became increasingly fearful, his mental defenses on the verge of collapse!
He didn't want to become a puppet!
He didn't want to become one of those walking dead!
"I'm sorry, you no longer have the leverage to negotiate with me." Ouyang Gong leaned close to his ear and whispered, then waved his hand.
Instantly, a group of puppets seized Ouyang Donghe and sent him to the laboratory.
Ouyang Gong looked at the trembling Professor Zhang behind him. "I'll give you three days to turn Ouyang Donghe into my puppet."
"Three days..." Professor Zhang started to protest that the time was too tight, but upon seeing Ouyang Gong's cold eyes, he quickly nodded.
Then, he asked, "What about Ouyang Kai? How should we handle him?"
Ouyang Gong tapped his finger on the back of his hand. "Leave him. For now, don't touch him."
Ouyang Kai would be his trump card.
