Wang Haoran had been secretly keeping track of the aura points he had taken from Xiao Yifeng. Up until now, the total aura points he had seized amounted to 165. Xiao Yifeng’s initial aura points were 726, so after subtracting the ones taken, it was easy to deduce that Xiao Yifeng currently had 561 aura points.

His villain aura had already reached 841, surpassing Xiao Yifeng by 280 points. It was time to completely deal with Xiao Yifeng.

Spending 3000 villain points to exchange for six years of internal energy, increasing the combat power by 270, seemed like a good choice. However, this method wasn’t foolproof. Xiao Yifeng’s combat power of 983 wasn’t weak, and even if Wang Haoran increased his combat power, he wasn’t absolutely confident he could kill Xiao Yifeng.

There was a chance he might alert Xiao Yifeng, allowing him to escape, which would be a big problem. Using poison seemed more appropriate.

Using the Supreme-Level Poison Technique was the best choice, as even Xiao Yifeng’s master-level medical skills couldn’t resist it. Using it against Xiao Yifeng would utterly overwhelm him.

However, upgrading the advanced poison technique to the supreme level still required 4000 villain points. He currently only had 3500, so he was short by 500. Where could he get 500 villain points in such a short time?

Hmm, it seemed there was a tool-like female protagonist next door who could provide villain points…

One time could provide exactly 500 villain points. With this thought, he naturally decided to act on it.

…

[Ding! The host has seized one of the female protagonists, Fang Xuan, gaining 500 villain points. Fang Heng’s protagonist aura -25, Fang Xuan’s female protagonist aura -25, host’s villain aura +50!]

Wang Haoran received the reward as expected. He accumulated 4000 villain points and immediately upgraded the advanced poison technique to the supreme level.

After upgrading the poison technique to the supreme level, Wang Haoran clearly felt that the knowledge he comprehended was more profound. If advanced poison technique was like understanding high school-level knowledge, then supreme-level poison technique was like understanding the knowledge of a doctoral advisor. The gap between the two was like a chasm.

Wang Haoran quickly digested the newly comprehended knowledge and soon found a poison from the Supreme Poison Scripture to deal with Xiao Yifeng. However, some materials needed to make this poison were rare, and Wang Haoran didn’t have much time to gather them.

After some thought, Wang Haoran decided to find someone obedient to run errands. Currently, Zuoqiu Chenyu was clearly the best candidate.

Firstly, her life was in his hands, so she wouldn’t leak his affairs. Secondly, she had many subordinates and informants, making it convenient to handle matters.

…

At dawn the next day, a resident of Tianxin Residential Area, on their way to work, almost tripped over an unconscious, injured person lying on the ground. The resident was so frightened that they screamed, causing quite a commotion.

Xiao Yifeng, who hadn’t slept all night and was very sensitive, immediately ran over to check upon hearing the noise. He found that the injured, unconscious person was the very one he was looking for—Eagle.

He immediately woke Eagle up, intending to question him about some matters. However, upon waking, Eagle’s eyes were vacant and lifeless. Xiao Yifeng found it strange and immediately checked, discovering Eagle’s abnormality. He couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

Before long, Ling Duanya arrived with people. Not wanting to cause trouble, Xiao Yifeng left before Ling Duanya could see him.

After leaving Tianxin Residential Area, Xiao Yifeng had breakfast and then went directly to Qin Group.

“Did you find Eagle?” Qin Kai asked as soon as he met Xiao Yifeng in the office.

“I found him, but I couldn’t get anything out of him,” Xiao Yifeng said regretfully.

“Why is that?”

“A master with profound internal energy damaged Eagle’s brain. Eagle has now become a fool, and nothing can be asked from him.”

“Such a thing happened…” Qin Kai was shocked.

“I suspect that the master not only has strong internal energy but also understands human anatomy and is likely skilled in medicine,” Xiao Yifeng said with a slightly serious expression.

“What is the purpose of this internal energy master? Why target Eagle? Could this person be related to the mastermind?” Qin Kai speculated.

“Turning Eagle into a fool was probably to silence him. I believe this internal energy master is definitely related to the mastermind,” Xiao Yifeng judged.

“Compared to this internal energy master, who is stronger?” Qin Kai couldn’t help but ask.

“If I find this person, I can definitely capture them alive,” Xiao Yifeng said confidently. Based on his judgment, the person might have some internal energy, but it should be relatively shallow, so they wouldn’t be his match.

Hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words, Qin Kai couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, he soon became worried again. With the lead on Eagle cut off, the identity of the mastermind remained unknown. As long as the mastermind wasn’t found, his daughter would be in danger.

After some thought, Qin Kai took out three documents from his desk drawer:

“Yifeng, investigate these three people.”

“What is this…” Xiao Yifeng was puzzled.

“Those who want to kidnap Yunhan are likely my business rivals. These are the three most likely to target me from among my business enemies,” Qin Kai explained as he handed over the documents.

Xiao Yifeng took them and began to read. Qin Kai explained:

“These three are in the real estate industry, each with a net worth of over 2 billion. They entered the industry much earlier than I did and made a fortune over a decade ago. However, as Qin Real Estate developed, their business space was squeezed, so they have always hated me.”

“These bosses, why are they all greasy and fat? They’re just three greasy uncles,” Xiao Yifeng chuckled after looking at the documents.

“With money, life is naturally comfortable, and with middle-aged weight gain, they naturally end up like this,” Qin Kai laughed. As a business tycoon himself, Qin Kai was much more disciplined. Although he was in his forties, apart from the unavoidable wrinkles on his face, he maintained his figure and hair well, with no baldness or obesity.

“Yunhan is usually at school during class and doesn’t run around, so there shouldn’t be any issues. You should take this time to investigate these three people,” Qin Kai suggested.

Doesn’t run around? Your daughter went to a bar with a guy last night. Hearing Qin Kai’s words, Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but secretly complain. He wanted to tell Qin Kai about Qin Yunhan going to the bar, but he was afraid that Qin Yunhan would dislike him even more if she found out later, so he held back. After all, he had promised Qin Yunhan not to tell Qin Kai about it.

“Uncle Qin, the young lady is getting close to Wang Haoran. I think you need to find some time to have a good talk with her.”

He couldn’t mention the bar incident, but Xiao Yifeng still wanted to disrupt the relationship between Qin Yunhan and Wang Haoran. If the young lady continued to associate with Wang Haoran, something would definitely happen. The young lady was his, and he absolutely couldn’t let Wang Haoran take her away.
