He only knew that there was an Underground Hospital on his side, and that they were quietly assisting some patients, the purpose of which was to avoid letting others know more about their affairs.

But now, it is said that there is such a laboratory inside that Underground Hospital, and it involves some people's corpses. Then, what exactly do these people want to do?

This matter seems to be really important to the old master.

If the true intent of this laboratory could be discovered, then there would be leverage to be grasped.

"Are you saying that he disregarded the risks and then returned to that basement, and then took away everything from that laboratory, right?"

"Exactly, we watched him take it away with our own eyes. I wanted to try to intercept that thing at the time, but Anying didn't let me do it."

"Luckily you didn't do that. Moreover, there must have been members of the Scorpion Gang with him. If you fought then, the outcome could have been unpredictable."

"So, that's why we didn't do it then, but in the end they still left some things behind. However, I'm not sure what these things are used for."

"Hand them over, let me take a look."

With these words, Guo Tao nodded and then reached out his hand.

Anying hurriedly stepped forward and placed the items he was holding into the hands of the old master.

Then, Guo Tao took it in his hands and looked carefully, but he really wasn't very knowledgeable about these things.

"This box looks rather special, and there is a groove inside. It seems it should contain a very special item."

"Yes, I've seen it before abroad. It's used to store a special liquid, but I don't have much of an impression of what kind of medicine it is."

"So, if we just talk about this aspect, do you have any suspicions?"

"Old master, actually there's still something we haven't told you. When we entered from that emergency exit, we passed an underground chamber, what's called the second sub-level, I guess."

"A second sub-level, so you're saying there are a total of two floors in that building?"

"Yes, the second floor has a morgue."

"A morgue? Oh, that's not hard to understand. Normal hospitals have a mortuary, right? If he has it this way, leaving a morgue, that is also somewhat understandable."

"Under normal circumstances, it's indeed understandable, but the key issue is the condition of the bodies stored inside; they all seem to have died in exactly the same way."

"Died in the same way? That means, their appearances were similar?"

"All of their faces were completely decomposed."

"Facial decomposition?"

After hearing this, Guo Tao was genuinely taken aback, his eyes wide with surprise.

He had never seen such a sight, but at this moment, the kinds of scenarios that began to surface in his mind were unimaginable, indicating just how terrifying the situation was.

"Yes, that's the case. So, I've been unsure. At the time, we saw about seven or eight bodies. All of the bodies were basically like that, but strangely enough, every other part of their bodies was intact except their faces."

"Does that mean you suspect that they had been conducting experiments on the faces of these people?"

"Yes, that's my suspicion."

"If you say so, it seems I have indeed heard about it. I remember it should be from about five years ago, right, Yang Da, do you remember this?"

"Oh, I remember now. Back then, there were rumors in the Martial Arts World that he was altering the Disguise Technique? It seemed like he was researching it."

"Yes, that was mentioned before, but I never took it seriously. The operation of such a thing is just the stuff of ancient novels; could it be that these symptoms now fully correspond?"

"Old master, are you saying he once had this kind of idea?"

"Yes, it's said that Yang Da set up a secret research base abroad, and he specifically studied how to change a person's appearance. So, I just treated it as a joke at that time and didn't take it seriously."

"So, the current situation is that all these people have their faces damaged. Could it be related to this research they're conducting?"

"Yes, it's very likely."

"Then, if that's the case, why would he research this Disguise Technique?"

"Either for his own use or to sell the secret technique for a high price in the black market. Either way, it would be a huge fortune."

Ye Chen had never thought of these things before, but unexpectedly, these people were able to carry out all of this here. One can imagine how terrifying their intentions are.

"The key issue is, all of this is just our speculation. Whether he actually did this remains another story."

"That's alright, Yang Da, is Old Niu around?"

"Oh, the old master is here, he also came over this time."

"Good, go call Old Niu over. I believe, if we can't understand these things, then for Old Niu, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"Alright, I got it. I'll arrange it right now."

After saying that, he quickly got up and left.

"Old master, who is Old Niu?"

Ye Chen was confused upon hearing this, as this nickname was indeed somewhat unfamiliar to him.

"Old Niu, he's been by my side for over 20 years now, somewhat of an unconventional doctor. He never plays by the rules, and the things he concocts are quite odd."

"Odd concoctions? Then, does he count as a doctor?"

"Haha, generally I never trust him. If I have any problems, I'd go to the hospital. I've never let him intervene."

"Then why keep him by your side if he isn't useful?"

"As I told you, this man has his uses in a pinch, and often, when other doctors can't solve a problem, he can provide a very good solution. So, I've always kept him around, believing that someday he might be of use, like today, for example."
