After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 964

Chapter 964: The Bet
As they were about to make their move, Jing Bai suddenly pulled out a syringe and pointed it at them.

Seeing this, Alva’s gaze darkened. “Jing, what is the meaning of this?”

“It’s mine.” Jing Bai spoke calmly, only saying these two words.

As he spoke, he advanced the syringe slightly. The bodyguards were startled, instinctively stepping back, their faces filled with fear.

To them, Jing Bai was the most dangerous person after Alva.

His strength needed no explanation.

After all, he had killed someone from the laboratory before.

They had no doubt that, had they been just a moment slower, that syringe would have been plunged right into their bodies.

It was easy to tell that this syringe contained a concoction far more potent than anything they had ever encountered.

And this was something Alva himself even feared.

After thinking for a moment, Alva said, “I can arrange two other test subjects for you, or you can choose yourself. How many you want, I can provide them.”

His words were casual, as if the people lying there weren’t human, but mere lifeless objects.

Jing Bai remained unmoved, refusing to back down.

Seeing his stance, Alva narrowed his eyes and said dangerously, “Jing, you seem to have a particular attachment to these two. Why, do they have something special about them?”

In the past, Jing Bai had never fought to claim test subjects from him.

The atmosphere in the room became tense, and Alva’s presence exuded a hint of killing intent.

In the room, Zhouzhou and Lu Shi exchanged a quiet glance.

If he took them, wouldn’t that mean they could directly enter the lab they hadn’t been able to enter earlier?

That actually sounded pretty good.

Lu Shi, seeing through her thoughts, immediately gave her a “no” look.

Even Jing Bai was stopping them from going, so it was clear how dangerous it was.

If she trusted Jing Bai, she should listen to him.

Fine.

Zhouzhou reluctantly dropped the thought.

At the same time, she grew vigilant. If Alva intended to harm Jing Bai, they would surely need to step in and help.

The Heavenly Thunder above her head gathered strength, and it quietly observed the movements near the door.

Jing Bai heard Alva’s words but showed no change in expression. He simply repeated, “Mine.”

The implication was clear—he would not let them take his test subjects simply because they were his.

He was as domineering as ever.

After all, people like them never shared their “treasures.”

Anyone who dared to take their things would have to die for it.

Alva stared at him for a few seconds before suddenly laughing.

“I was joking.” He took a step back. “But Jing, I didn’t invite you here to play. I’ll give you one more week. If you still can’t get results, then your test subjects will belong to me.”

Jing Bai looked at him and said, “PK.”

“Alright, then let’s have a competition.” Alva laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “This will be much more interesting.”

“I’ll add one more condition. If you lose, you’ll become my test subject too.”

His gaze on Jing Bai was sharp, as though he were a scalpel, itching to dissect him piece by piece.

And the thing he was most eager to study…

His eyes fell on Jing Bai’s head, a look of obsession appearing on his face.

The fully developed brain—how tempting.

In an instant, the researchers in the laboratory who overheard the conversation turned their attention to the scene, as though eager to watch the show unfold.

This was going to be interesting.

“Fine.” Jing Bai nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, without a hint of hesitation. He stared at Alva and said, “If you lose, you die.”

Upon hearing this, Alva laughed even harder. “We’ll see if you have the ability to back up your words.”

Compared to his madness, Jing Bai could be considered calm and collected.

He cast one last deep glance at Alva’s heart before turning and stepping into the laboratory, slamming the door shut behind him.

Alva soon followed, his face filled with an excited smile.

He looked every bit like a devil.

In truth, he might as well be one.

Jing Bai walked to the bedside, lowered his gaze to Zhouzhou, and said, “One week.”

Zhouzhou had overheard their conversation, and she nodded seriously, patting his leg. “Don’t worry, brother. I’ll definitely deal with them in a week, especially that big bad guy. I won’t let him harm you.”

Lu Shi nodded in agreement.

Jing Bai, however, shook his head. “No.”

“Alva… I will kill him myself.”

When they left the laboratory earlier, Alva wasn’t present, which was why they hadn’t been able to make a move on him.

Jing Bai had never forgotten that he was the true creator of those serums.

He had said it before: they were his creations, and he was their father.

Now that his “children” were all dead, as a dutiful son, it was only right that he go reunite with them in the afterlife.

Zhouzhou blinked. What did her brother mean by this?

Lu Shi also looked at him, puzzled.

Jing Bai said, “Help me research.”

“Research what?” Zhouzhou asked, curious.

Lu Shi realized something and immediately became alert. He quickly pulled Zhouzhou behind him protectively. “No, you can’t.”

Zhouzhou poked her head out, about to speak, but Lu Shi pressed her forehead, pushing her back. She blinked in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.

Ignoring him, Jing Bai continued, “Help me research this serum.”

He was quite interested in Alva’s experiment.

Zhouzhou frowned instantly, remembering the dead body she had seen in the room when they first arrived.

She shook her head solemnly. “No, no way. Brother, if you dare do that, I’ll beat you.”

As she spoke, she shook her chubby little fist, her face serious.

She wasn’t joking at all.

Research was fine, but not if it was going to hurt people.

That thing could take a person’s life in a few seconds—it was terrifying.

It was nothing more than killing under the guise of genetic modification.

In an instant, Zhouzhou’s gaze at Jing Bai changed.

Jing Bai remained unchanged, staring at her as he continued, “When I was at the Fourth Bureau, I was working on this experiment too. It was approved by Director Zhao.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi’s pupils contracted slightly, and he looked up at the camera.

Zheng Yu, hearing this, was also surprised.

He immediately called Zhao Xinghua to confirm.

Zhao Xinghua didn’t hide anything and nodded directly. “Yes, humans must evolve.”

Zheng Yu pulled up the surveillance footage of Zhouzhou’s arrival at the laboratory and sent it to him, frowning, his tone growing more serious. “Director Zhao, are you also going to be a murderer?”

Zhao Xinghua wasn’t knowledgeable about the research itself; he only wanted to make everyone stronger.

After watching the video, he furrowed his brow and confirmed, “Our research is different from Alva’s.”

Jing Bai had been researching this for years and had made some progress. He had seen it before—the small white mouse was still alive and well.

Not only that, its various indicators were far superior to the control group.

That was why he supported continuing the experiment.

If it had been Alva’s experiment, Zhao Xinghua would have stopped it long ago.

Zheng Yu thought for a moment, but ultimately trusted his character.

He relayed what Jing Bai had said about Zhouzhou helping him.

Zhao Xinghua paused for a moment, about to agree when a cold, sinister voice suddenly interrupted.

“Dare to use my daughter for an experiment? When I return, I’ll stick every needle in Jing Bai’s laboratory into you.”
