The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 353 Big Moves

"It depends on how weighty the news you tell me is. You speak first, and then I'll consider whether to agree to your request."

Chen Xiao had Schmidt completely under his thumb. The other party wasn't worthy of negotiating with him.

Schmidt was clearly aware of this as well. After being mysterious for a moment, he said, "I heard that tomorrow, Edward will represent Kangxing Company to attend Miss Song Anran's press conference, and there will be a big move at the conference..."

Chen Xiao waited quietly for the rest of the story, but Schmidt fell silent.

"Continue. What big move?"

"I've finished speaking. I only know there will be a big move, but I don't know exactly what it is."

"..."

Chen Xiao questioned, "Then what are you talking about? You're the Global Vice President of Kangxing Group. How could you not know about a big move?"

"I really don't know. I'm just a senior wage earner. I often only find out about things after they've happened."

Schmidt was very helpless.

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked him, "Edward isn't going to jump over the wall in desperation and make a move at the press conference, is he?"

"No, no, no, definitely not..."

Schmidt shook his head repeatedly and then said, "Huaxia's security measures are very good, and it's difficult to find an opportunity to strike. Moreover, doing so would affect Kangxing Company's reputation. What's more, high-level vampires like Edward are heavily regulated by the Vampire Covenant. With so many reporters at the press conference, he would never take the risk of doing something stupid."

Schmidt had already said this much, and Chen Xiao knew that he couldn't squeeze any more valuable information out of him. He then asked with a playful expression, "You've told me so much. Even if I let you go back now, aren't you afraid that Edward will retaliate against you when you get back?"

Schmidt's face was uncertain, as if he was struggling.

Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he began to show his sincerity to Chen Xiao.

"Honorable Mr. Chen, just as you worried, if I go back like this, Edward will definitely not let me go. So I want to turn to your great self, to be your loyal servant. Please accept me, Mr. Chen."

In a very short period, Schmidt analyzed the pros and cons and made the most favorable choice for himself.

First of all, Chen Xiao's strength was very strong, possibly not inferior to Edward's.

Secondly, so far, Chen Xiao had not said that he would let him go. Only by showing loyalty to Chen Xiao would he have a chance of survival.

Moreover, even if Chen Xiao was killed by Edward in the future, he could say that he was an undercover agent by Chen Xiao's side, collecting intelligence.

Considering these points, surrendering to Chen Xiao was his best choice at the moment.

However, when Chen Xiao heard these words, he directly sneered in his heart.

He had long seen that Schmidt was a spineless person, but he didn't expect Schmidt's bones to be so soft.

Surrender to him? What a joke! Did he have nothing better to do than need a blood-sucking bug as a servant?

What's more, those who are not of my race must have different hearts. How could Chen Xiao leave a potential threat by his side?

However, he didn't say it explicitly, but decided to squeeze out Schmidt's last bit of value.

"To tell you the truth, a friend of mine was turned into a vampire by Ava. Although he still has his rationality, he can't transform into a normal human like you."

"In order to return to a normal life, someone suggested pulling out his fangs, but for safety's sake, he didn't do it in the end."

"I'm asking you, do you know what will happen after a vampire's fangs are pulled out?"

Schmidt said loudly, "It's right that they weren't pulled out. Fangs are a vampire's symbol, and the vampire's level is also determined by the number of fangs. If the fangs are pulled out, the consequences will be very serious, but I don't know exactly what will happen..."

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know!"

"Then do you want to know?"

"Of course!"

After Schmidt said these three words, he suddenly realized that Chen Xiao's gaze towards him was not quite right...

He was immediately shocked and asked tremblingly, "Mr., Mr. Chen... you wouldn't be thinking of doing something to me..."

"Hehe, you're quite smart. You guessed it!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao nonchalantly bent down and pried open Schmidt's mouth.

"No..."

Schmidt wailed in pain, but Chen Xiao would not be merciful because of this.

After four fangs were broken off, Schmidt's body began to shake like a sieve.

And his appearance aged at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, he became an old man with white hair.

Chen Xiao could feel the vitality rapidly draining from his body. By the time he stopped trembling completely, his body had become a mummified corpse with only skin and bones.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao was glad that he hadn't pulled out Chi Hao's teeth in the first place.

As for Schmidt's body, Chen Xiao burned it to avoid causing panic.

After that, he walked out of the office as if nothing had happened and woke up the colleagues who had been knocked unconscious.

The colleagues were all confused, and it took them a while to recall what had happened before.

"Director Chen, a rude foreigner came to see you and spoke rudely. We wanted to drive him out, but we never thought that this guy would directly attack and knock us all unconscious."

"Director Chen, are you okay? Who exactly was that person?"

"Where is he now? Should we call the police!"

...

After everyone woke up, they began to discuss it noisily, and the course of events was not much different from what Chen Xiao had expected.

He thought to himself that it was a good thing that Schmidt had just become a vampire. Perhaps his humanity had not been extinguished, or perhaps he was afraid of causing a big incident. Otherwise, these people might have lost their lives here today.

If that were the case, it would really be an innocent disaster for them.

It seemed that after the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department got on the right track, he should slowly fade out of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.

After all, he had many enemies, and each of them was not an ordinary person. It was easy to implicate these colleagues who were ordinary people.

However, there was one exception.

That was Chu Luo. When Chen Xiao woke everyone up just now, he found that Chu Luo had already woken up, but he was pretending to be asleep.

Then he had probably seen what happened in the office.

Chen Xiao did not point it out. Chen Xiao was still slowly observing this young man of unknown origin. At least so far, he was still a good young man. And what secrets were hidden in him would eventually be revealed.

After taking care of the matter here, Chen Xiao originally wanted to remind Song Anran that Edward might cause trouble at the press conference tomorrow.

But after thinking about it, Chen Xiao dismissed the idea. Anyway, he would also attend the press conference tomorrow. He wanted to see what big move this blood-sucking bug would make at the press conference!
