Boris Gustav was suffering terribly. He could no longer concern himself with his inner fear; he couldn't even overcome the physical discomfort. Now, whenever he closed his eyes, the image of the bitten cake would appear in his mind, along with the wriggling worms inside, especially the half-bitten, broken ones.
Boris Gustav vomited and vomited, expelling not only his dinner from the previous day but also the stomach acid and bile from his stomach.
Immediately after, he began to rinse his mouth. He used various disinfectants, mouthwashes, and even strong liquor. These substances irritated the mucous membranes of his mouth, causing his lips to swell. Yet, he continued to rinse, afraid that worms might burrow into his stomach.
Mark was also stunned by this scene. Enraged, Mark immediately ordered his subordinates to apprehend the chef who prepared breakfast and the servants who served the meal. He then subjected them to severe torture.
However, even after nearly beating them to death, these individuals did not admit to being responsible. Mark's interrogation experts also stated that these people likely knew nothing.
The investigation continued. When Boris Gustav ate the cake, its surface was still warm. The cake had been freshly baked that morning. It was clear that the lively worms could not have survived over an hour of baking in the oven. They could only have been inserted into the cake after it came out of the oven.
But the problem was, Boris Gustav was a very fearful man. His kitchen was filled with cameras, and every step of the chefs' food preparation was under surveillance.
Mark, along with some subordinates, kept watching the surveillance videos. The entire process of the chef preparing the cake showed no issues.
Furthermore, the path from the kitchen to the dining table where the cake was served was almost entirely monitored by cameras. The servant had no time or opportunity to swap the cakes.
Yet, right before everyone's eyes, worms suddenly appeared in the cake, and they were all alive. What else could this be but a supernatural event!
Little did they know, just moments ago in the kitchen, a person wearing an invisibility talisman had, after the cake was baked, directly used the ability of the spiritual realm space to swap the worms he had collected from outside into the cake.
This person was Ling Tian. He had bid farewell to Aurora and was acting alone, having arrived at the Gustav family's estate.
The Gustav family had repeatedly sent people to assassinate Aurora and Ling Tian. If Ling Tian hadn't been afraid of causing trouble for his father-in-law, he would have eliminated the entire Gustav family long ago, given his nature.
However, Ling Tian had now changed his mind. He decided that he would not let the Gustav family die so easily. He wanted to make these people live in fear, suffer torment, and make them feel worse than death!
At this moment, the entire Gustav estate was in chaos again. All security personnel were mobilized, and every room was turned upside down. Mark and Boris both wanted to find the person who had infiltrated the estate.
But after searching for a long time, they found nothing.
Mark Gustav, sweating profusely, still had no leads. He looked at Boris, who was still vomiting, and felt utterly exhausted.
Mark went to his office and felt a sudden dryness in his mouth. He picked up a can of beer, pulled the tab, and gulped it down.
"Pfft!"
Opposite Mark was the estate's security chief, who was about to report the search situation in the estate. Unexpectedly, he was sprayed in the face by Mark.
Following this, it was Mark's turn to vomit uncontrollably. The security chief was completely bewildered. A liquid flowed down his face. He sniffed and almost vomited!
What Mark sprayed on his face was not beer, but urine. It was urine that had been fermenting in a urinal for some time – it was incredibly pungent and nauseatingly foul!
The beer in the can Mark had just opened had been replaced with urine by Ling Tian.
Mark's study contained a lot of alcohol, which he often drank a few sips of after work to relax and unwind.
Ling Tian had long since replaced all the alcohol in his office with urine – old, festering urine from the toilet!
Mark took a solid gulp, which disgusted him immensely. He even vomited more vigorously than Boris.
Thus, for a time, there was more pandemonium. Almost all liquids in the entire estate were opened and inspected, and the results were shocking.
Much of the alcohol, beverages, and even seasonings in the estate had been replaced with urine.
But the problem was, after watching the surveillance footage for a long time, they found no anomalies. Especially the alcohol in Mark's study; no one had even approached it!
But how did these things appear!
For a time, there was much speculation within the Gustav estate. Soon, the rumor of the estate being haunted quickly spread.
This is a universal human flaw, consistent from ancient times to the present.
In ancient times, scientific knowledge was extremely limited. When people encountered things they couldn't explain, they attributed them to ghosts and spirits.
In modern times, despite the rapid advancement of science and technology, this human habit has not changed. The only difference is that ghosts and spirits have been replaced by aliens.
Now, everyone in the Gustav estate was jumpy, and the slightest disturbance would cause a significant reaction.
At this point, Ling Tian had already left the Gustav estate. He had now arrived on the East Coast, at a small town called Bakaya.
Calling it a town was an understatement; it was an industrial park covering tens of square kilometers. All the enterprises within the industrial park were subsidiaries of the Gustav Pharmaceutical Group and its related supporting companies. Almost all the residents of the town were employees or their families from these companies.
Ling Tian arrived here late at night, but the entire town was brightly lit. Vehicles transporting raw materials and finished products were constantly shuttling along the roads leading to the town.
Unlike other industries, once the pharmaceutical production process begins, it cannot be stopped. It can last from a few days to several months. If even one step in the process is problematic and interrupts the production, that batch of raw materials might be entirely wasted.
Therefore, for pharmaceutical companies, there is no distinction between day and night in the production process.
In the sky, a Sea Eagle was constantly circling, taking in the entire situation of the town. Ling Tian's brain was rapidly analyzing, searching for his target. Several hours ago, Feng Xiaoxi had obtained relevant intelligence on the Gustav Pharmaceutical Group from Yan Yu Ge.
The intelligence clearly stated the purpose of every building in this town!
