Chu Nianxue quickly noticed something was wrong. Lin Xiaotian's hand, which had been on her shoulder, had slowly shifted its position without her realizing it. At this moment, her heart felt like a wild deer running amok.
Even after noticing, she didn't react immediately, only stiffened slightly.
A thought involuntarily arose in her mind.
*Let this guy take advantage a little.*
A faint, almost imperceptible smile curved Lin Xiaotian's lips, and his eyes glinted with amusement.
But just as he was about to press his advantage, the office door was knocked.
The knock was distinct.
"President Chu, it's not good!"
Chu Nianxue quickly slapped Lin Xiaotian's hand and said, "Come in, what is it?"
The little secretary pushed the door open, her eyes wide with fear. "President Chu, just now downstairs, I saw President Song. You wouldn't believe what he's become. Two bodyguards were holding him tightly, and his face was almost unrecognizable."
"My heavens, he looked like a vengeful spirit from a TV show."
"Just seeing him for a moment, I feel like I'll have nightmares tonight."
"And he told me he wanted to see you, President Chu, saying he had something very important to discuss with you in person, but he didn't want to see Lin Xiaotian anymore."
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. "This guy is clever. He knows he can't get anything from me, so he wants to go to my wife to get information. Does he really think that's going to work?"
"Wife, you don't need to deal with this. Leave it to me. I know exactly what he's up to."
Chu Nianxue hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Remember what I told you, don't be too impulsive!"
"If there's anything you can't decide, you can tell me directly."
"Don't resort to violence like before."
Lin Xiaotian flashed a brilliant smile. "Don't worry, wife, I don't need to lift a finger. The previous injuries weren't inflicted by me; he scratched himself."
Chu Nianxue didn't believe him and was about to say more when Lin Xiaotian quickly left.
The little secretary whispered, "President Chu, it's possible President Song scratched himself. I saw it just now. If those two bodyguards hadn't restrained his arms, he would have kept scratching his face. His face is truly terrifying."
"Many of our employees have been scared by him."
Chu Nianxue wasn't curious enough to see what President Song looked like. She picked up a document and smiled. "Alright, I understand. You go keep an eye on him and make sure Xiaotian doesn't get too impulsive."
"If he looks like he's going to act, you must stop him."
The little secretary hesitated, a hint of fear on her face. "President Chu, can I not go? President Song looks really scary."
"With Xiaotian there, is he going to eat you?"
When President Song entered the company, no one dared to stop him. Even the security guards were terrified. In some places on President Song's face, the flesh was gone, leaving only bare white bone, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain.
He walked ahead, his face a mask of terrifying distortion.
Two bodyguards held his arms tightly, their faces contorted in extreme fear, their muscles twitching as if they were enduring something immense.
As they reached the elevator, the doors suddenly opened.
Lin Xiaotian appeared in the elevator, a bright smile on his face. "What kind of monster is this, daring to cause trouble in our company? Take this!"
He shouted deliberately, and many people in the company suppressed their laughter.
Everyone who saw President Song felt a surge of fear and revulsion, but only Lin Xiaotian wanted to fight.
Lin Xiaotian delivered a kick.
When President Song flew back and landed on the ground, his first instinct wasn't to cry out in pain, but to grab at his face.
Blood trickled down his face, his eyes filled with extreme terror, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
"Lin Xiaotian, I'm sorry. It was all my fault before. I shouldn't have hidden anything. If you spare me and give me the antidote, I'll tell you everything. Please, give me another chance!"
The two bodyguards were also clenching their palms.
Their faces showed pleading expressions.
Lin Xiaotian's smiling gaze shifted. "Stop scratching. If you keep scratching, your hands will rot. Go find some water and soap and wash them thoroughly."
Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards didn't hesitate and rushed into the nearby restroom.
They had reached their limit.
President Song's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Xiaotian. "This will cure it?"
Lin Xiaotian shook his head with a smile. "They only touched you lightly; it's easy to cure. But you're different. The powder has already merged with your flesh and blood."
"It's like when you peel chili peppers and your fingers feel burning and uncomfortable. That's because the capsaicin has entered your cells."
"Then how should I be treated?" President Song asked, his voice trembling.
He regretted it completely now. He shouldn't have endured it before.
Lin Xiaotian looked at him with a half-smile. "Don't you have any idea what to do?"
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You've become this way, and you still dare to come to our company causing trouble. If I hadn't recognized you in time, I would have treated you as a malevolent spirit and eliminated you."
President Song knew Lin Xiaotian was scolding him. Although he felt incredibly wronged, he didn't dare to show it on his face. In fact, his face was so disfigured that any expression was impossible to discern, only his eyes could vaguely show some change in emotion.
His entire face was almost rotted away.
"When I came, I brought those genuine items with me. They're in my car's trunk. Why don't you go take a look first, and after you've seen them, consider them as me gifting you the genuine items, and as a deposit."
"As long as you cure me, I'll tell you directly who is behind this."
At this moment, he couldn't bear it any longer. The pain was unbearable for a human.
He had originally thought that things would improve after going to the hospital, but after using some steroid creams there, his condition worsened.
