As House slowly pushed, the syringe's plunger injected the medicine into Ding Qing's body, and the icy sensation was very clear.
But as time slowly passed, a few minutes later, Ding Qing began to feel hot all over, and all his wounds became extremely itchy and unbearable, but he couldn't move at all now.
"Damn it, it's so itchy, it's killing me! You damned bastard, are you trying to torture me to death?"
Even Ding Qing himself didn't realize that his tone of cursing had become full of vigor.
House stood with his arms crossed, watching silently, without speaking.
This reagent was something he had created after many experiments; it was extremely rare. If Night Owl hadn't found him at the last minute, and he happened to be in Korea, this guy would never have been able to use this thing. Many rich people couldn't even get one of these reagents, no matter how much they sought it.
And beneath Ding Qing's skin, those wounds that had already healed actually began to slowly seep blood again, only this blood carried a faint stench and was extremely dark in color, almost black-brown.
Ding Qing once again fell into a deep sleep, but this time, his heart rate and breathing were very stable.
"It looks like he's recovering well. This guy's physique is indeed different from normal people. The compatibility between the reagent and him should be as high as 90%."
After a glance, House slowly walked out of the operating room.
If he hadn't happened to be in Korea to perform surgery for a certain dignitary this time, he would have been helpless regarding Johnny's plea for help.
In fact, as early as when Ding Qing was sent to the hospital and doctors declared that he couldn't recover and could only delay death, Johnny had already called House.
When House arrived, he observed his wounds and injected him with a special medicine, putting Ding Qing into a state of suspended animation, and at the same time, calming his terrible internal condition so that he could continue to receive this reagent injection. This led to the scene of Ding Qing in the ward giving his last instructions to Li Zicheng.
As for the cremation of the body, it had already been swapped out, so all of this was just to confuse the guy hiding in the dark. This is why Johnny looked at Li Zicheng with a strange expression, but Li Zicheng, who was grieving at the time, didn't notice.
The scene returned to Johnny and Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng turned to Johnny and said, "As for Jiang Chenghao, I'll leave him to you."
"Mm."
Then, Johnny left with the Yanbian F4.
Li Zicheng looked at the sea surface still bubbling faintly, his heart calm. This was his first, and most crucial, step towards completely entering the underworld.
Although Zhang Shouji had been thrown into the sea to feed the fish, there was still another guy.
Li Zicheng wouldn't let any of these guys off, just as they wouldn't let him off. It was just that he had acted first to gain the upper hand.
On the other side, after Johnny and the Yanbian F4 got into the car, their leader, Kim Byung-ok, drove, and Johnny sat in the passenger seat, closing his eyes to rest.
His phone vibrated. Johnny took out his phone and glanced at it; it was a location Li Zicheng had sent him.
After entering Lishui City, Johnny told Kim Byung-ok to stop the car.
There was no need for any instructions; the Yanbian F4 naturally knew what they were supposed to do.
After getting out of the car, Johnny directly hailed a taxi and headed towards the address Li Zicheng had sent him.
Ten minutes later, the vehicle stopped. Johnny glanced at the slightly dilapidated building in front of him, then slowly walked up. When he reached the corner on the first floor, Johnny pulled out the glock 34 from under his armpit.
He took a suppressor from his jacket pocket, slowly screwed it onto the muzzle, and continued to walk up steadily.
Upon reaching the second floor, Johnny realized that it was an indoor fishing pond.
At this moment, Jiang Chenghao was sitting on a folding stool, staring straight at his fishing rod. The fishing rod showed no reaction, but he had already formed a habit.
He was sitting facing the entrance. He saw a flicker of light and shadow there, and he knew someone had come in.
And from the light and shadow, he could tell the person was wearing a suit. He thought it was Li Zicheng and so he said, "Why are you here again?"
After all, just yesterday, he had told Li Zicheng to bring all those documents over after Zhang Shouji took power.
But the problem was, Zhang Shouji hadn't taken power yet, and he hadn't received news that Zhang Shouji had been eliminated by Li Zicheng, so he didn't understand why Li Zicheng was here now.
In his heart, he had long ago categorized Li Zicheng as a traitor, but Li Zicheng's resolve was currently unstable, so there was still room for him to be used. After extracting all his value, he would definitely find a way to dispose of him.
After hearing Jiang Chenghao's words, the shadow paused, then walked in again. But what Jiang Chenghao saw was not Li Zicheng, but another guy who was both unfamiliar and a little familiar.
"Yo, Chief Jiang, your vigilance is indeed high."
Johnny walked out of the passage. He spoke in Chinese, and Jiang Chenghao, as a Lishui City police officer, naturally also spoke Chinese, as there were many overseas Chinese there.
"It's you!"
Jiang Chenghao's pupils instantly dilated. He, of course, knew who this guy was: the assassin by Ding Qing's side.
Night Owl!
He had originally intended to find this guy and deal with him, but he hadn't expected the other party to come here before him. Jiang Chenghao immediately reached for his lower back, where a police revolver was located.
Puff!
But Johnny's hand was faster, because the glock 34 was already in his hand. He just slightly twisted his wrist and fired a shot. A bullet directly sparked at Jiang Chenghao's waist, and the revolver he had already touched was also knocked away.
"Ah... damn it!"
The revolver suddenly flew out of his hand, scraping his finger and causing pain. Jiang Chenghao couldn't help but curse, then looked at Johnny warily.
"Don't mess around, I'm a police officer. If you kill me, you'll be in big trouble."
Jiang Chenghao didn't want to die, so the moment he saw Johnny appear, he knew what his end would be, but he still needed to struggle.
He didn't think he could run faster than a bullet, so he could only stand still and speak to Johnny.
"Actually, sometimes I'm very curious about one thing: Li Zicheng is clearly one of your police officers, and his will is firm, but why do you push him towards the underworld again and again? Some things are not his subjective will, but you always think he has betrayed you?"
Johnny didn't kill him with a single shot; instead, he asked with some curiosity.
To be honest, this was a logic he had never understood. Since the other party was an undercover agent, you should trust him, not push him step by step into the abyss, but Jiang Chenghao seemed to lack this realization.
He had always been carrying out his so-called plan, always acting as if he had already seen through the chess game.
After hearing Johnny's words, Jiang Chenghao was stunned, then a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
"What you mean is..."
But Johnny didn't wait for him to finish, and continued, "The reason Ding Qing eliminated Xin Yu and Shi Wu was because he already knew their identities. Similarly, he naturally also knew Li Zicheng's identity."
Jiang Chenghao's facial expression began to stiffen.
"It's a pity, you were very close to success, but you personally shattered that success completely. Congratulations, Chief Jiang, I hope you two have a good time down there."
After saying this, Johnny raised the glock 34 in his hand and pointed it directly at Jiang Chenghao's head across the pond.
Jiang Chenghao's lips trembled, but he said nothing. At this moment, his heart was extremely complex. He suddenly remembered the naivety of that young man the first time he sat in the police car driving for him, and the anger, as well as the despondency and loss, he faced most recently.
He suddenly realized that sometimes, it wasn't Li Zicheng who was wavering, but his own attitude that made Li Zicheng ultimately choose to firmly side with Ding Qing.
If he were Ding Qing, knowing Li Zicheng was an undercover agent, what would he do to him?
Of course, he would package him up and sink him in the sea!
But Ding Qing didn't. After grasping all the information, he still treated Li Zicheng as his own. With such courage and magnanimity, who else could do it?
Jiang Chenghao suddenly laughed. He knew he had lost completely and utterly, but there was one thing he was very confused about.
Two people?
There was clearly only himself here. Suddenly, his pupils widened sharply, and he looked at Johnny with disbelief.
"It seems our Chief Jiang's mind is indeed sharp; he quickly figured out the crux of the problem, but you no longer have any chance."
After Johnny finished speaking, he directly pulled the trigger.
As the muzzle vibrated slightly, Johnny's hand steadily resisted the recoil of the Pistol, and that bullet had already spun through Jiang Chenghao's head.
The bullet passed through the back of Jiang Chenghao's head, bringing with it a splash of red and white blood, spraying onto the fishing gear behind him.
Even if he had a thousand doubts and questions, they were all terminated at this moment. The cunning Jiang Chenghao thus ended his not-so-legendary life.
He who plays with eagles will eventually have his eyes pecked out by them. This saying was the best irony for him at this moment.
Then, Johnny put away his Pistol, turned and left, leaving behind the corpse on the ground and the fishing rod that had just begun to tremble slightly.
It seemed a fish had bitten the hook, but unfortunately, the person who cast the rod was long gone.
