For a long time, there was no sound from the secret room. Luo Ye leaned against the cold wall, listening to the death-like silence.
Six years ago, in order for him to get a better ranking, the "company" ordered him to assassinate the legendary figure who ranked fourth on the world's killer list - the poison maker. It was a very difficult task, so much so that Luo Ye had no idea what he was doing at that time.
The scene is still vivid in my mind.
The poison maker is actually a very thin man with an ordinary appearance, a knobby chin, a short beard, and flat and sallow cheeks. He is a typical image of a Japanese old man - only a casual knife can end his life. But the problem is that most of them
Anyone who wants to kill him has no chance to swing this sword. His ability is so extraordinary that it is said that as long as he looks at him, his heart will suddenly stop beating.
He has an extremely eccentric personality, so eccentric that he poisons everyone he meets, and chooses when to let the virus break out according to his own mood. This strong sense of self-protection makes everyone afraid to approach him. There is only one
The thin, pus-filled apprentice would send him poisonous materials every now and then.
Luo Ye waited for three full months, but he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to strike. The poison maker's hiding places were all full of toxins, which would kill him. Luo Ye didn't dare to approach rashly. But as time passed,
If we don't take action, the "company's" confidence will be polished away.
Finally one day, the poison maker's apprentice made a mistake while transporting poison. A bullet ant came out of the gap in the box and bit his arm hard. He screamed like a girl -
-Maybe he was actually a girl, but the pus on his face and body concealed his gender identity.
Luo Ye took advantage of her turning her head to treat the wound and quietly got into the box full of bullet ants, and then followed the trailer and slowly entered the poison maker's territory.
Bullet ants live in Central and South America and are one of the largest ant species in the world. They can grow up to three centimeters in length. They are called "bullet ants" because their bites are as painful as being hit by a bullet.
The same, burning pain, twitching, making people forget all other pain, leaving only the despair of death.
Luo Ye is no stranger to bullet ants. In order to train his pain tolerance, he was once bitten by a small group of bullet ants for an hour. The pain caused by one bullet ant is enough to last for twenty-four hours, and the power of a group of bullet ants is even greater.
It was so big that it felt like someone was constantly beating the body with a heavy hammer with nails. The pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow. I couldn't help but clench my teeth every time I thought about it.
In order to kill the poison maker, he got into a whole box of violent bullet ants. They bit Luo Ye frantically, covering every part of his body from his scalp to the soles of his feet.
This kind of terrifying creature. The pure pain is higher and higher, without any other ingredients. It is more intuitive than the lava erupted by the volcano. It feels like walking barefoot on the lava, and the heels are nailed.
Like a three-inch rusty nail.
But Luo Ye remained motionless, like a rock that had passed through the years. A tribe in South America used bullet ants as a method to select leaders. **If Luo Ye is willing to go, he will definitely become a chief respected by everyone.
He stayed in the wooden box like this for a full ten hours. When the bullet ants had no strength to bite him, Luo Ye heard the footsteps of the poison maker. When the lid of the box was opened, Luo Ye jumped out and stabbed him.
Stab into the poison maker's throat——
The sharp tip of the knife penetrated from the back of the neck, and the poison maker didn't even have a chance to react in shock - he would never have thought that someone could last ten hours in a wooden box full of bullet ants.
Luo Ye didn't dare to touch anything here, but he still inhaled the deadly poisonous gas. Fortunately, he appeared in time, rushed in regardless of the danger, and rescued him.
After that, the two of them recuperated for half a year before they resumed their mission...
Just as he was reminiscing, the wall behind Luo Ye made a rattling sound and slowly moved away to both sides. Li Yichen sat in the shadow without saying a word, while Hu Jiyao, with tears in his eyes, said softly to Luo Ye: "
Mr. Luo, please come in and talk."
This is the first time that they have opened the door to the secret room to outsiders. In a sense, this means that Nanshan Manor has accepted Luo Ye as a friend.
Luo Ye picked up the manuscripts scattered on the ground, dusted them off with his hands, stood up with a smile, and walked into the secret room.
Li Yichen's appearance was no different from what he imagined - he was all covered in bandages, with only his eyes, nose and mouth exposed. Judging from his eyebrows, he looked somewhat similar to his younger brother Li Yifeng, but his body was too frail.
Hu Jiyao moved a swivel chair and asked Luo Ye to sit down. "Mr. Luo, is there really no way to cure Yichen's poison?"
"It's not a matter of detoxification now," Luo Ye sat down and said, "He is like a poisonous flower. He has lost the nourishment of toxins and his whole body is completely broken. If the poison maker is still alive, he might be able to be saved.
But it's a pity that if he were alive, I wouldn't be able to tell you about the poisoning today. Fate really likes to play tricks on people. I didn't expect that we would already have a connection."
"How sure are you that I am poisoned?" Li Yichen asked.
Luo Ye tilted his head, "Fifty percent, maybe less than that."
"Based on data like this, how can I easily believe your words?" Li Yichen snorted.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not," Luo Ye said: "Your life or death has nothing to do with me. I'm just telling you another possibility."
"What's possible?" Li Yichen asked.
"You were sick since childhood, and then Dr. Liang appeared. Only he could control your condition, but at the same time he extorted a huge sum of money from your father -" Luo Ye said, "Did you think of anything?"
"The poison maker sent Dr. Liang to blackmail my father?" Li Yichen felt that this speculation was a bit too simple. He quickly overturned his conclusion: "No, since he is a world-class killer, he shouldn't care about our family.
This little money, unless——"
"Unless they are just using your father's mistakes to pave the way for another person." Luo Ye pointed out.
Li Yichen took a breath of air and leaned heavily on the back of the wheelchair, which made Hu Jiyao couldn't help but worry. "Fang Tianming..." Li Yichen sighed out all the air in his lungs. Everything became clear. He finally understood the matter.
The poison maker forced his father to commit corruption and then handed the evidence to Fang Tianming - all of this was really a seamless plan! A plan that was interconnected and ingenious!
Li Yichen couldn't help but feel angry for the pain he and his family had suffered. "It turned out that all this was Fang Tianming's fault! Why did he do this? He is obviously my father's best friend, why did he treat our family like this?
?For money? Or for power?"
Luo Ye said: "Although Lin Wanyu took over as the president of Dingxin, Fang Tianming's people are from top to bottom in the company. Although he handed over the power, his real intention was to isolate Lin Wanyu. In fact, he had already started to disrupt the company through Compass.
The stock market is over. Although Lin Wanyu is smart, she can't do anything alone in Dingxin. I hope you can help her and join forces with me to get rid of Fang Tianming."
"Join forces?" Li Yichen asked: "With your ability, isn't it more than enough to kill him?"
Luo Ye nodded, "I can kill him, but in that case, I won't be able to bring out the people who support him. Those people are the ones who destroyed your family."
Li Yichen's eyes became sharp, "Do you have any clues about these people?"
"No, they are very cunning. There are almost no clues to follow." Luo Ye sighed slightly, "Also, I want to remind you that since they can hire killers like poison makers, it proves that they are very dangerous."
"Is it more dangerous than you?" Li Yichen asked.
Luo Ye avoided the conversation and replied: "At least they have the same purpose as me."
Li Yichen nodded slightly. He had already expected that Luo Ye was not just a bodyguard. There must be a special reason for following Lin Wanyu. "What is your purpose?" Since we want to work together, we must be honest with each other.
"My purpose is a piece of top-secret information." Luo Ye said straightforwardly, "But at the same time, I do not allow Lin Wanyu to be harmed in any way."
"Top-secret information? Are you referring to the top-secret information that Lin Wanyu's father gave away before his accident?" Li Yichen asked.
Luo Ye's eyes lit up, "What is the information you are talking about about?"
Li Yichen sighed, "I also want to find out. My insider in Dingxin told me that before Lin Wanyu's father boarded the plane, Ling Yuanfeng came to see him in person. The two talked for a long time, and finally Lin Yuanfeng took away a USB flash drive -
—Ling Yuanfeng is Ling Dingyi’s grandfather, the number two figure in Jinghua..."
Luo Ye nodded, "I understand..." The matter finally came to light. It seemed that he had to find a chance to meet Ling Yuanfeng, but what was urgently needed now was to deal with Fang Tianming and dig out the hidden power behind Fang Tianming, so that Lin Wanyu could escape.
Danger. "How have you considered joining forces?"
Li Yichen smiled softly: "If you can tell me your purpose, I will have no excuse not to cooperate with you. What do you want?"
Luo Ye pointed at Hu Jiyao beside him, "She."
Li Yichen was startled, "What?"
"I need Miss Hu to agree to Lin Wanyu's request and serve as the director of the Supervision Department of Dingxin." Luo Ye said with a smile.
Hu Jiyao said: "Yichen, I haven't had time to tell you about this yet..."
Li Yichen calmed down and said, "Yao Yao, what do you think?"
"I think this is a good opportunity, but..." Hu Jiyao bit her lip, "I don't want to leave your side, especially knowing that you are about to..." Her tears welled up again unknowingly.
Li Yichen shook his head gently, "I will die sooner or later, and revenge will make me truly happy."
"But who will take care of you?"
"I have no problem with myself." Li Yichen looked away.
Hu Jiyao felt sad, wiped away the tears on her face, and nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll go to Dingxin." Although Luo Ye told her not to have hope in detoxification, she still wanted to give it a try.
, and only by uncovering the real culprit behind the scenes can justice be done to Nanshan Manor.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Luo Ye stood up and placed the manuscript on the seat. "When you are alone, you can read the diaries you wrote when you were a child and review how to smile at your family." After saying that, he nodded.
Walked out of the secret room without looking back...)
