Chapter 492: Detector

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the end, Ren Baqian failed to kill Wang Xunli.
Due to obstructions by Yang Sen and his promise that Wang Xunli would have no chance to take revenge, Ren Baqian relented after burying the chief culprit, Wang Zhi.
It must be mentioned that it was impossible for his earlier trip to Hong Kong to not have been found out.
However, he wasn’t obstructed, and it was obvious that they had let him off once before.
After all, Wang Zhi had used means that were beyond the rules and deserved to die.
There was no point in killing Wang Xunli at the expense of offending Yang Sen. This was especially the case because Wang Xunli was under Yang Sen’s control and Yang Sen had promised that Wang Xunli wouldn’t have the chance to take revenge.
The words “no chance to take revenge” were rather interesting. If it were “will not take revenge,” then it meant that there was someone holding him back. On the other hand, “no chance to take revenge” had some implications.
Seeing this, Ren Baqian relented and decided to return to Shanghai. After all, he had been traveling for more than 20 hours and was tired.
There was still a fool to be handed over.
Ren Baqian had confirmed that the girl had really become a fool. The words spoken by Yang Sen at that time were rather simple to understand, but she didn’t respond at all.
According to Ren Baqian, this was a good thing.
At least she could survive. A fool could live an easier life than most people. Ren Baqian also didn’t need to kill the same person twice.
After returning to the villa, Ren Baqian surfed the internet to get some information on Wang Xunli, and as expected, he was being detained due to committing white-collar crimes. This was in accordance to what Yang Sen had said about not having a chance to get out.
Out of the two in the Wang family, one was dead and one wounded. As a result, Huaneng Energy would experience some shocks, but wouldn’t collapse. The impact wouldn’t be too big either.
However, Wang Zhi and Wang Xunli were arrested in succession, and Wang Zhi was inexplicably killed. This would cause a shock in society. At the same time, many plutocrats would be on guard and try to find out what had really happened.
After all, a fellow plutocrat had fallen, so they mourned the death of one of their compatriots. They were also concerned that they might face the same plight one day.
Very soon, someone discovered a character who shouldn’t have been noticed: Ren Baqian.
Although the witnesses at the accident scene, at the hospital, and at the Hong Kong police department were served with a seal order, some news somehow reached the ears of these people.
This made many people take note of Ren Baqian and harbor suspicions toward him. Just who was he and how much of what they heard about him was true? How much was false?
Very soon, a video of the car accident scene landed in the hands of some people.
Everyone was shocked after seeing the video. Did this actually happen in reality?

Ren Baqian woke up after a refreshing sleep, took a look at the girl in the empty room, and found her to still be in a daze.
After having a meal, someone was heard ringing the doorbell.
Upon opening the door, Ren Baqian saw Yang Sen, raised his eyebrows, and asked, ” Are there still some problems?”
“A few. Can I come in?” Yang Sen pointed inside.
Yang Sen saw the empress sitting on the sofa as he came in, and he greeted her warily. After all, the skill of the empress was very intimidating to others, especially when seeing her face to face.
It was just like being in a cage with a tiger.
“Take a seat. What are the problems?” Ren Baqian pointed to the side and asked.
Yang Sen sat down before saying, “It’s about those body parts from the freezer…”
“I haven’t settled this matter with you yet.” Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows after saying this. “Private rights are sacred and inviolable! How can you rob me with the backing of the nation?”
“Wang Zhi’s body has been found,” Yang Sen said. The reason was very obvious, this matter was already suppressed for his benefit.
“These are two different matters.” Ren Baqian laughed coldly. “What does his body have to do with me? I was almost killed by a truck driven by a hired killer the other day.”
“Speak. What do you want?” Yang Sen asked helplessly.
“I want 1,000 of those skunk bombs you gave me the previous time,” Ren Baqian stated.
The empress, who was listening from the side, started feeling uncomfortable.
She had experienced the power of those things. Just thinking about 1,000 of them was scary.
“Fine,” Yang Sen readily agreed.
As a result, Ren Baqian’s expression softened a little. On Earth, 1,000 skunk bombs, which were more for deterrence, weren’t comparable to the corpse of a Spirit Wheel expert
A nuclear warhead was more like it.
However, the country wouldn’t give such a powerful weapon to him, and he didn’t want any other things. He also didn’t want to give others the misconception that they could get something without paying any price for it.
“What’s the matter now? Spit it out.” Ren Baqian leaned back on the sofa.
“That corpse, is it the Spirit Wheel expert that you mentioned before?” Yang Sen took out a pen recorder as he spoke. In fact, he didn’t have to take it out, but this action made Ren Baqian feel more comfortable. Whatever it was, it was better to do things openly than covertly.
“Not bad.” Ren Baqian nodded.
“According to our tests, he has reached the age of 130, but the efficiency of the cells in his body are like that of a person who is about 30 to 40. How was this achieved?”
“130 years old?” The empress was surprised.
“This is according to our tests.”
“Is this accurate?”
“This should be accurate. After all, the tests can determine the age of things that are hundreds of millions of years old,” Ren Baqian said from the side. “What’s the matter?”
“Hey, Teng Yue became famous 40 years ago and was considered a genius. Everyone thought that he was merely over 30 years old, so many expected him to reach a higher level. I didn’t know that he was already 90 years old back then,” the empress sneered. “Everyone was fooled by him.”
Ren Baqian had a strange look because he had never heard of this before.
A 90 year old man posing as a young genius. Teng Yue was really thick skinned. For a powerful Spirit Wheel expert who was respected everywhere to do such a thing, it showed his obsession to deceive.
Of course, in the eyes of many people, a 90 year old Spirit Wheel experts and a 30 year old Spirit Wheel were certainly different since the latter had more potential.
Despite this, this person was already a pain in the a**.
“We have detected a substance in his body that can maintain cell activity and delay cell death. We speculate that this substance should have the function of scavenging free radicals and providing energy. If we can make progress in this area, its importance will need no further explanation. Mr. Ren should be able to understand this,” Yang Sen said. This was the reason why he was here.
When the test results on this corpse were released, even the top brass began to pay attention.
Ren Baqian was very interested after hearing this as no one could be indifferent about the prolonging of one’s life.
“It should be the spirit,” said Ren Baqian after pondering. According to what he knew, the spirit was the biggest difference between a Spirit Wheel expert and an Earth Wheel expert.
If the only reason why the lifespan of an Earth Wheel expert was longer than an ordinary man was due to the physical constitution, then in that way, the lifespan of a Spirit Wheel expert was much longer than that of an Earth Wheel expert. In fact, it was almost double, and this should be due to the spirit.
“It should be something similar to the spirit, but there are some differences. It’s closer to the primordial spirit found in novels, it can communicate with Heaven and Earth, and it can also form Heaven-grade weapons…” Ren Baqian explained to Yang Sen who couldn’t comprehend.
“Heaven-grade weapon?”
“The spirit combines with the primordial qi and forms a type of weapon. However, this is beyond your comprehension,” Ren Baqian said coolly.
Following Ren Baqian’s word, Yang Sen saw a portion of a metal chain come out of Ren Baqian’s head. It twisted a few times like a snake, forming an S-shape and then an M-shape…
Yang Sen opened his eyes wide and looked at Ren Baqian’s head, “This is… ?”
“Well?” Ren Baqian raised his hand to his head and the metal chain recoiled, but the empress moved faster than the chain and pulled it out to coil around her hand.
Thereafter, a long spear with fine golden engravings appeared from Ren Baqian’s temple and stabbed across at the empress.
The empress stretched her hand to block. The spear then emitted a clear sound and retracted into Ren Baqian’s head.
Yang Sen’s eyes were transfixed. He looked at the metal chain coiled around the empress’s hand and hesitated before asking, “Can I touch it?”
“No,” Ren Baqian promptly refused. This wasn’t a dog leash that anyone could touch at anytime they liked.
“This is a Heaven-grade weapon. It’s there when the person exists and disappears when the person is dead,” Ren Baqian said plainly with an imposing manner.
Yang Sen was somewhat surprised. According to his understanding, Ren Baqian’s skill was at about the same level as those masters that were selected, which was at the Man Wheel level. At most, he would only be slightly stronger. Yet, according to what he was saying, this Heaven-grade weapon could only be formed by the spirit, right?
How did Ren Baqian improve so fast? Those selected masters found it difficult to improve further after breaking through.
With this thought in mind, Yang Sen took out a square plate with a handle underneath it from his bag. In the middle of this plate was a screen.
He fiddled with the plate and aimed the back of the plate at Ren Baqian. The screen immediately displayed the number 158.
He then aimed at the empress.
This item immediately emitted green smoke.
“What’s this?” Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows and asked.
“This gadget was just produced by the laboratory. I thought of demonstrating it to the both of you, but it unexpectedly broke down.” Yang Sen gave a hollow laugh.
“It can measure the energy of a person. An ordinary man ranges from ten to 15 points, elite soldiers from 20 to 30, and a person who has just broken through to become a Man Wheel expert measures between 70 to 100 points. Mr. Ren was recorded to be 158. This gadget has an upper limit of 1,500, and as you can see, Miss Qi has exceeded the limit.” As Yang Sen explained this, his heart was filled with turmoil.
This gadget used a special method of calculation which he didn’t understand. However, he understood what 1,500 points meant.
It was very close to a humanoid nuclear bomb! This was not a metaphor, but equivalent to a real humanoid nuclear bomb.
“A very interesting gadget.” Ren Baqian’s eyes sparkled. This gadget was really interesting as it could directly measure the amount of energy contained in a person.
