Walter believed he could slip away unnoticed, but he never anticipated that Charlie would start questioning him at that moment.


    Caught off guard, Walter quickly turned his head and forced a smile, asking, “Master Wade, what can I do for you?”


    Charlie regarded him with a smile and responded, “It’s nothing too concerning, just a simple inquiry about something.”


    Walter let out a sigh of relief and eagerly replied, “Master Wade, please go ahead and ask!”


    Charlie nodded slightly and inquired with a grin, “Do you know what mercury dichloride is?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Walter’s heart raced, yet he feigned surprise and responded, “I have no idea what mercury dichloride is!” But as he spoke, a sudden realization hit him!


    Thanks to his strong psychological resilience, Walter managed to keep hisposure. However, Charlie couldn’t help but notice the subtle stiffness and unease that flickered across his face. In that instant, Charlie surmised that Walter was likely involved in the poisoning of Doris Young’s father!


    This revtion darkened Charlie’s expression. He seized Walter by the cor and sternly warned, “If you tell the truth, I will ensure your demise is swift!”


    Walter shook his head vigorously, hastily iming innocence. “Master Wade, you must be mistaken! I truly don’t know what mercury dichloride is. Why am I being implicated in this?”


    Doris Young, taken aback, felt a wave of shock wash over her. When Charlie suddenly asked Walter about mercury dichloride, she sensed something was off. She had never considered that Walter might be responsible for her father’s death.


    She had always assumed Walter appeared only after her father fell gravely ill, trying to exploit the situation. The idea that Walter could be the cause of her father’s condition was unfathomable to her.


    Now, she stared intently at Walter, desperately searching for any sign of deceit. However, Walter’s ability to mask his emotions was impressive, leaving Doris unable to detect any irregrities in his demeanor. Doubt crept in, and she began to question whether Charlie had misjudged the situation.


    Yet, Charlie remained unfazed by Walter’s seemingly innocent facade.<fn12ba> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find(?)ovel</fn12ba>


    Fixing his gaze on Walter, he said coldly, “You have one final opportunity. If you don’te clean now, you may find yourself facing horrors beyond your imagination!”


    Walter gulped nervously, protesting, “Master Wade, I genuinely don’t understand what you’re talking about! I haven’t studied chemistry, and I have no idea what mercury dichloride is! I only know about carbon dioxide!”


    Charlie nodded slightly, a sneer forming on his lips. “Alright then, you’ve made your choice. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”


    Without hesitation, he pulled out his Apple phone from Walter’s pocket and smirked, “Now,e closer and let me unlock it. I want to see if there’s anything scandalous on your phone!”


    Walter gasped in fear, eximing, “You can’t invade someone’s privacy like this! I could have mywyer sue you!”


    Feigning surprise, Charlie replied, “Oh really? When I just struck you, you weren’t calling for awyer then. Why the sudden concern about your phone? Are you hiding something embarrassing?”


    “No, absolutely nothing!” Walter blurted out, panic rising in his voice. “My phone contains all the trade secrets of the Hogwitz family. If you look at it and it leaks, it would cause significant financial harm to us!”
