Just as Lu Sen was about to question his three assistants again, he suddenly felt a chill, froze for a moment, then his mind went blank, and he couldn't remember anything. Looking at the strange scene before him, he asked, "What are you doing? What does this person do?"
The person being pointed at was Zhou Xuan, and it was strange to see Zhou Xuan lying on the control panel.
The woman asked in surprise, "Professor Luxen, what's wrong?"
"Lusen? Who is Lusen?" Lusen asked blankly, tilting his head and frowning as he pondered for a long time before saying, "And who am I?"
The woman was astonished by what she saw, not knowing what had happened. The other three assistants stood there dumbfounded, holding syringes, not knowing why.
Zhou Xuan went all in and, having gained experience in controlling Lu Sen, did very well. If they were to investigate further as Luo Ya suggested, they definitely wouldn't find anything. This time, he hadn't used the Transformation Gold to poison them, but rather transformed and devoured the brain cells in their brains. Even if they were to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything.
Zhou Xuan used the same method on Lu Sen to immobilize the three assistants and the woman. The four of them immediately became like Lu Sen, and Zhou Xuan devoured the same part of them. This part was probably the memory cell tissue. After being devoured, they immediately lost all their previous memories.
In their condition, there is no possibility of them regaining their memories. If someone loses their memory due to an impact or injury, the memory cells may recover after the injury heals. However, Zhou Xuan completely removed their memory cells, just like cutting off their limbs—they can never be found again. Moreover, these cells play a crucial role. In other words, no matter what they do now, without the memory cells, they will forget what happened and will never remember it. They will live in a state without memory, without any prior memories. They are not stupid, but they cannot retain their memories, and there is no possibility of a cure. Human brain cells are non-replicable, and it is impossible to create a substitute.
In other words, the five people, including Lu Sen, are finished. Zhou Xuan doesn't think he was ruthless. If they hadn't been so ruthless first, why would he have done this?
Moreover, these people are obviously used to doing the same things, and they don't know how many people have been hurt by them before. Zhou Xuan has done a good deed.
In fact, Lu Sen and the others suffered because they hadn't anticipated Zhou Xuan's superpowers. Their inability to anticipate them meant they couldn't protect themselves properly. They thought that locking him up with locks containing alien metal would solve everything. They had dealt with superhumans in the past in the same way, but none of those superhumans possessed abilities similar to Zhou Xuan's. Zhou Xuan's abilities were too peculiar, even unbelievable. It's strange to think about; he could transform and devour any substance on Earth, and he could control this ability within a 400-meter radius. Add to that the other abilities Zhou Xuan had developed, and it far exceeded Professor Lu Sen's imagination. It can be said that, apart from not being able to fly like Superman, Zhou Xuan's other abilities were truly astonishing!
The five people in the room were stunned, not understanding what had happened. After looking around, they opened the door and went out. The three people in protective suits saw that something was wrong and immediately rushed in, grabbed something, and prepared to knock Zhou Xuan unconscious. It seemed that although Zhou Xuan was locked up, he still had the ability to attack!
Zhou Xuan struggled for a moment, turning his head to dodge a punch, but then the three men's fists rained down on him. His head and face were in pain, and he couldn't transform the restraints that were holding his hands and feet. In desperation, he unleashed the intense heat of the sun's flames, enveloping an area within five meters of him. Although the protective suits worn by the three men could withstand Zhou Xuan's ability to detect and absorb his power, they couldn't withstand the super-high temperature of over a thousand degrees. The protective suits were instantly melted into air, and of course, the people inside the suits were also melted, disappearing into thin air in an instant.
The device that had bound Zhou Xuan was also melted by the high temperature. Zhou Xuan was overjoyed. Although his superpower could not transform or devour these things containing alien matter, the blazing sun could melt everything.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan understood that the sun is an extremely hot star. No matter how strong the matter from other planets is, it will be melted and reduced to nothing under the sun's extreme heat. Although his solar flame ability cannot reach the sun's temperature, it still exceeds the temperature of the furnaces currently achievable on Earth. It is stronger than any equipment on Earth. Simply put, his solar flame ability makes him like a miniature sun.
Zhou Xuan sat up, looked at the ceiling, and saw that there were cameras everywhere. He quickly activated his supernatural ability and followed the metal wires of the cameras to the terminal in the control room. The security guards there hadn't noticed anything unusual. There had never been any accidents here before, so they were never worried about anything happening. It was precisely because of this that their safety was ensured. Zhou Xuan didn't turn them into cripples like Professor Lu Sen; he simply destroyed all the surveillance footage. Of course, the monitors in the control room weren't destroyed, and the security guards remained accustomed to it. Zhou Xuan simply prevented the footage from being saved.
After leaving the laboratory, Zhou Xuan recalled the route he had taken and estimated which way to go. At the same time, his superpower checked and detected the situation in various places. On a corridor a few dozen meters away, Zhou Xuan unexpectedly detected Luo Ya again.
Luo Ya was squatting in the aisle, sobbing painfully, muttering, "I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hurt you..."
Zhou Xuan sighed. This woman herself was in such an environment; how could she trust these people? She should understand better than anyone else—how could she possibly trust such people?
As she slowly walked over, Luo Ya was ignored by everyone. She was completely powerless here. Her superior had asked her to bring Zhou Xuan here, saying that a department wanted to test him. Luo Ya made sure that Zhou Xuan wouldn't be harmed before she acted, but when she got here, she found out that it wasn't like that at all. They didn't keep their promises, and that's when she realized she had been tricked. She also saw those people with those long needles, preparing to extract Zhou Xuan's bone marrow and brain marrow. She knew that how many people who had their brain marrow extracted were unaffected?
He might end up being an idiot, and even if he doesn't become an idiot, his mind and body will be greatly affected and harmed.
Luo Ya then recalled where her boss was when she was crying out for help on Mark's bed, and who came to her rescue.
Wasn't it Zhou Xuan who saved her? Later, when Mark drowned her and Zhou Xuan at the bottom of the river, wasn't it Zhou Xuan who saved her? Although Zhou Xuan was a bit harsh on her, it's undeniable that he's a good person. She hurt such a person, and she felt uneasy, unhappy, and even in pain. She didn't know why, but after Zhou Xuan kissed her and gave her breath at the bottom of the river, she kept thinking about him, constantly thinking about this man. And now, this man has been harmed by her. The pain in her heart is truly indescribable!
While she was in agony, someone gently patted her shoulder. Luo Ya looked up, her face streaked with tears, and through her blurred vision, she saw that familiar face. After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly jumped up and hugged Zhou Xuan with joy, exclaiming, "You...you're alright? They...they let you go?"
Zhou Xuan reached out and covered her mouth, whispering, "Let's get out of here first. It wasn't them who let me go; I subdued them and brought them out. Let's go!"
Luo Ya was both surprised and delighted. She quickly stopped talking and led Zhou Xuan back the way they came. After they got to the first floor, drove out of the building in the parking lot, and were on the highway, she asked in a trembling voice, "What exactly happened? And Zhou Xuan... I'm sorry... I... I really didn't know they would do this... I'm so sorry..."
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Drive carefully and don't say these things. I know. If I were to blame you, I wouldn't have come to see you!"
Luo Ya then stopped talking, focused on driving, sped up, and only stopped abruptly when she reached a certain place.
Zhou Xuan looked around and realized that this was the same place where he and Luo Ya had been tied to stones and thrown into the river by Mark last time. How did Luo Ya end up here?
Luo Ya buried her face in the steering wheel and began to sob. Between sobs, she said, "Zhou... I'm sorry. I know you saved me at Mark's villa last time, and you saved me here again, but I repaid kindness with enmity and hurt you instead. I'm so sorry..."
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "What's done is done. There's no going back in this world, and time can't be turned back. Let it go. I've destroyed all the surveillance footage there, and those five professors have all become mentally impaired. I've also wiped the other three assistants in protective suits off the face of the earth. The evidence may be hard to find, but the disappearance of people will definitely attract attention and lead to an investigation. And with those five professors mentally impaired, the commotion there will be significant. Once an investigation begins, it will definitely lead to you and me. I need to go back and discuss this with my grandfather to see if there's a solution. Don't come looking for me anymore. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I'll pretend that the harm you did to me never happened!"
Luo Ya raised her tear-streaked face and, still sobbing, said, "Zhou, please forgive me, please forgive me, okay?"
Looking at Luo Ya's stunningly beautiful face, so different from that of most East Asians, with tears streaming down her face, anyone would feel sorry for her. However, Zhou Xuan only felt a pang of pity, not emotion. He said calmly, "Don't ask for my forgiveness. I've never blamed you, never complained about you, and there's no question of forgiveness. Hmm... drive me back to the intersection of Chinatown. We'll part ways there. I need to get ready quickly, otherwise this will cause trouble!"
Luo Ya felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of heartache. The words this man had casually uttered were so painful for her. She had never felt this way about a man before, so why was she heartbroken for him?
Gritting her teeth, Luo Ya still started the car, turned it around, and drove towards Chinatown. When she reached the intersection, she stopped the car.
Zhou Xuan got out of the car, looked back at Luo Ya, and after thinking for a moment, said, "From now on, let's not see each other again!"
After saying that, he left without looking back, and didn't even use his special ability to check on Luo Ya's situation behind him anymore. He had better not provoke this woman anymore. She was a CIA agent, not a gangster. Getting entangled with her would cause big problems. It was best to stay away from her, otherwise his peaceful life would not be so easy.
As she walked, Zhou Xuan pondered how to tell Fu Tian about it. It wasn't until she reached her doorstep that she looked up and realized she was home, but she still couldn't think of a way to tell Fu Tian.
The bodyguards came out to greet Zhou Xuan and ushered her inside. Zhou Xuan went to the living room dejectedly. Fu Tianlai and Fu Ying were there, while Fu Yuhai and Zhou Cangsong were in the backyard with their child. The air was fresh.
Seeing that his parents weren't there, Zhou Xuan felt a little better. He couldn't let his parents know about these things, or they would worry even more.
Fu Ying, who understood Zhou Xuan best, immediately asked with concern upon seeing his expression, "Zhou Xuan, is something wrong?"
Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment, looked at Fu Tianlai, and then said, "Grandpa, I... something happened..."
Now that this has happened, it's impossible to keep it a secret any longer. If we don't tell Fu Tian, it might cause even bigger consequences.
Fu Tianlai was taken aback and quickly asked, "Zhou Xuan, what's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
Fu Tianlai originally intended to share some good news with Zhou Xuan: today, Zhou Xuan had finally made his move to acquire all of Fu's shares, which had attracted global attention and become the most sensational news of the day. Fu's had bought back all the shares at the lowest point of the stock price, completing the acquisition with 40 billion yuan in cash, making Zhou the sole shareholder of Fu's. Moreover, Fu's moves didn't stop there; they also acquired two other Fortune 500 companies in one fell swoop. Where the large sum of cash came from remains a mystery.
However, financial leaders from around the world estimate that the US government must be backing the Fu family. Otherwise, with the Fu family's power, it would be impossible to carry out such a large-scale operation. The Fu family is actually out of money. According to sources from several major banks, they have cut off loans to the Fu family. It can be said that the Fu family has no way to come up with a large amount of cash. It's not that they don't want to lend. If the banks don't lend, how will they make a living?
However, they were struggling to survive in the financial crisis and couldn't afford to worry about anything else. Then, Fu's sudden and dramatic move yielded huge gains at a very low cost. After the acquisition, Fu's stock price hit the daily limit, becoming the only stock to do so.
The world's financial tycoons are all well-informed and have their own channels. The information they received is that Fu's funds come from the Federal Reserve, the largest official banking institution. This means that Fu has government support and is backed by official backing.
In reality, they all misjudged the situation. Fu Tianlai had connections in the government. After all, which financial oligarch like them didn't have intricate ties with the government? Fu Tianlai possessed over 10,000 tons of gold. If he were to exchange it for gold at other banks at this time, it would definitely attract attention from all sides. Once the news leaked, Fu's stock price would skyrocket, and his plan would fail. On the other hand, releasing over 10,000 tons of gold reserves would cause a huge sensation from all sides, and the government would intervene. Fu Tianlai simply contacted high-ranking officials and exchanged the gold for the central bank at a price lower than the market rate, obtaining 100 billion in cash. The government would also gain a 20 billion US dollar difference from the market price difference. Why wouldn't they do this? Naturally, they entered into an alliance with Fu Tianlai.
Fu Tianlai's rescue of the Fu family's company was like a shot in the arm for the plummeting stock market, which boosted the market to some extent.
