Urban Ace Bodyguard

"You..."

Qiu Yu struggled mightily to resist the purple mist entering his mouth and nose, and had never imagined that Lin Hai, whom he regarded with disdain as a good-for-nothing, would actually make a move, and even strike his dantian.

He clearly felt a robust force, so powerful there was no room for doubt, directly entering his dantian.

A deep, piercing pain spread from his lower abdomen.

This feeling... filled Qiu Yu with extreme horror, as his anger and intense resentment interwove.

For a martial artist, an attack to the dantian could lead to serious injury if the force was too powerful.

With a damaged dantian, one would no longer be able to store Gang Qi, and would gradually degenerate into a cripple.

For someone with a high combat power, being deprived of Gang Qi meant at best they could only be considered a second-rank expert; this was more painful than death.

He could not face such a terrifying and heavy blow to reality!

"Damn it! Why! How could this be, why wasn't Lin Hai, that waste, completely under my control?"

"The 'Divine Desire' Potion bestowed by my lord cannot possibly fail!"

Feeling the Gang Qi in his dantian dissipating bit by bit, Qiu Yu panicked, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He discovered he was rapidly becoming unable to ward off the encroaching purple mist, with his brain's central nervous system and cerebellum on the verge of being overrun by the potion.

Due to the sharp pain in his lower abdomen, he bent over like a standing shrimp. Qiu Yu glared with bloodshot eyes, gasping for breath, and managed with difficulty: "You, not controlled... how did you do it?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Yu's entire expression turned into a daze, vacant and empty, akin to a soulless shell.

Even under the potion's control, Qiu Yu could not comprehend how Lin Hai had awakened.

Lin Hai repeated Qiu Yu's earlier words: "From now on, I am your master, you must obey me completely, without violation!"

"Yes, Master, my greatest Master."

Qiu Yu's body shook, like Lin Hai previously, as if rebooted.

This scene greatly shocked Ouyang Xiaoya.

What situation is this? Why does it feel so wicked?

Gao Chao was stunned, standing still as if petrified.

"Yo, Young Master Gao, what are you dazed for? Kneel down."

Lin Hai said with a smile, with a calm and steady expression on his face, strategizing behind the scenes.

"You, you were controlled, weren't you?"

Gao Chao stepped back in shock, his foot twisted, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, his head hitting the wall.

His face was filled with panic and incomprehension.

"Me, controlled? Ha, sorry, but I have a steadfast character and an indomitable spirit."

This would probably be unbelievable if said out loud.

But Lin Hai was unscathed, a fact laid out before everyone's eyes.

Gao Chao felt his throat dry, his expression theatrically distressed to the extreme.

He could have controlled Ouyang Xiaoya and taken over the entire Youming Ya Group, so why did this happen?

Lin Hai, this good-for-nothing regarded with contempt, the very person they all looked down upon, unexpectedly played a role in reversing the dire situation!

Gao Chao was utterly incapable of accepting this reality.

"Young Master Gao, now you might as well tell me the whole story, and your next plans," Lin Hai asked with a smile, as if holding a winning hand like a military strategist.

"No, I don't know anything, don't ask me, let me go, or you'll have a bad end."

Gao Chao trembled all over with fear—his composure, confidence, and calmness from before work were all gone.

Now, he resembled a pathetically wretched dog, with pitiable and spineless pleading in his eyes.

"Oh? Not talking? I like your spirit." Lin Hai gave a thumbs up.

"You, what are you going to do, Director Lin? We can talk this out, I'm afraid of pain, don't hit me." Gao Chao said in a panic.

"Heh, I'm not going to hit you. You're not in good shape, so I'll just feed you some tonic."

"What tonic? My health is fine…" Gao Chao suddenly realized something, his face turned ashen with fear, waving his hands, his voice urgent and filled with terror: "No, please don't."

He had already figured out what Lin Hai's so-called "tonic" was.

"Sun, oh no, I should call you Qiu Yu, bring out that potion."

Gao Chao was shocked once again. How did Lin Hai know Qiu Yu's true identity!

Qiu Yu, like a loyal machine following orders, opened his palm to reveal a bottle of purple potion.

"Is this thing used to control people?"

"Yes, my master." Qiu Yu looked at Lin Hai with fervent eyes as he answered.

"This is really magical," Lin Hai remarked.

At this point, Ouyang Xiaoya also began to understand a little but still couldn't grasp the full picture.

There's actually a drug in this world that can control people?

If such a thing were to fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives and grand ambitions, wouldn't the whole of human society be thrown into chaos?

"Oh, right, Qiu Yu, from now on you should also obey President Ouyang just like you do with me. Understand?"

"Understood, great master, great President Ouyang." Qiu Yu bowed and nodded.

"Good, feed the tonic to our Young Master Gao."

"Yes, my master."

Qiu Yu stepped towards Gao Chao.

"You, don't come any closer!"

Gao Chao, frightened, began to wet himself, desperately pushing back with his legs.

Qiu Yu, cold and mechanical, grabbed Gao Chao directly.

Gao Chao was an ordinary person, and even though Qiu Yu was greatly weakened, he couldn't break free.

"Don't, I don't want to become a puppet... such a large dose, I'll directly turn into an idiot, please no… wuwuwu, glug, glug."

Gao Chao struggled violently but to no avail.

One third of the remaining half bottle of potion was poured into him.

"Alright, that's enough." Lin Hai felt that he should save some potion for Judge to research later, to create a targeted antibody vaccine for those around him to prevent them from being affected in the future.

Gao Chao's reaction was even more intense than Qiu Yu's.

Once the drug took effect, he groveled at Lin Hai's feet like a dog.

"This…"

"Cough, the weaker the mind, the stronger the drug's effect, CEO."

Clearly Gao Chao's mind wasn't very strong.

"Tell me, who instructed you to do this? What's the plan?" Lin Hai asked.

Qiu Yu honestly replied, "It is Lord Tianlong's plan, to have me come to Huadu to control President Ouyang Xiaoya. By collaborating with Gao Dashang and Gao Chao, using the Divine 'Desire' Potion to take full control of the company's board shares, nominally using Ouyang Xiaoya as a puppet to open channels for the RX organization."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xiaoya took a sharp breath and couldn't help shivering.

If this plan were to succeed, it would not only mean that the company she worked so hard for would be handed over to others, but she would also become a puppet.

She couldn't help but look towards Lin Hai with grateful eyes.
