For a long time, there was no sound from the secret room. Luo Ye leaned against the cold wall, listening to the silence like death.
Six years ago, in order to get him a better ranking, the "company" ordered him to assassinate the fourth-ranked legend in the world's killer list-the poison maker. That was a very difficult task, so that Luo Ye still vividly remembered the scene at that time.
The poison maker is actually a very thin, ordinary appearance, a knotty jaw, a short beard, flat and gray cheeks, a typical Japanese old man-only a casual knife can end his life. But the problem is that most people who want to kill him don't have the chance to slap the knife at all. His ability is extraordinary, and it is rumored that as long as he takes a look, his heart will suddenly stop beating.
His personality is extremely perverse, so perverse that he poisons everyone he sees, and he chooses when to let the virus break out according to his mood. This strong sense of self-protection made everyone afraid to approach him. Only a small, pus-filled apprentice gave him poison materials every once in a while.
Luo Ye waited for three months, but did not find a suitable phone meeting. The poison maker's hiding place was full of toxins, and he would die if he touched it. Luo Ye didn't dare to approach it rashly. But as time goes by, the confidence of the "company" will be eroded if no action is taken.
Finally one day, the little apprentice of the poison maker made a mistake while transporting the poison. A bullet ant emerged from the gap in the box and bit his arm fiercely. He screamed like a girl— Maybe he was a girl, but the pus on his face and body concealed his gender.
Luo Ye took advantage of her turning around to treat the wound. Silently got into the box full of bullet ants, and then slowly entered the field of the poison maker following the trailer.
The bullet ant inhabits Central and South America, with a body length of up to three centimeters, and is one of the largest ant species in the world. It is called "bullet ants" because the pain after being bitten by them is like being hit by a bullet, burning and convulsing, making people forget all other pains, 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 a bullet ant is enough to last for twenty-four hours, and the power of a group of bullet ants is even greater. It is like being hit by a heavy hammer with nails on the body. The pain penetrates into the bone marrow. Whenever I think of it, I can't help but bite the roots.
In order to be able to kill the poison maker, he got into a box of grumpy bullet ants. They bit Luo Ye frantically, from his scalp, to the soles of his feet, and everywhere in his body. All crawled with such terrifying creatures. The waves of pure pain are higher than the waves, without any other components, more intuitive than the magma erupted by a volcano, the feeling is like walking barefoot on the magma. And the heel is still three inches of rusty nails.
But Luo Ye remained motionless, like a rock that has gone through the years-a tribe in South America used bullet ants as a method of selecting a leader. If Luo Ye is willing to go, he will definitely become a chief that is admired by all.
Just stayed in the wooden box for ten hours. Until the bullet ants had no strength to bite him, Luo Ye heard the footsteps of the poison maker. When the lid was opened, Luo Ye jumped out fiercely and stabbed the poison maker's throat with a knife—
The sharp point of the knife pierced through the back of the neck, and the poison master didn't even have a chance to react in consternation—he would never have thought that someone could hold on for 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 a timely manner and rushed in regardless of the danger and rescued him.
After that, the two of them had cultivated for half a year before they resumed their mission...
As he recalled, the wall behind Luo Ye made a rattling and rattling noise, and slowly withdrew to the sides. Li Yichen sat in the shadows without saying a word, while Hu Jiyao's eyes were full of tears, and said softly to Luo Ye: "Mr. Luo, please come in and talk."
This is the first time they have opened the door of the secret room to outsiders. In a sense, this means that Nanshan Manor has accepted Luo Ye's friend.
Luo Ye picked up the manuscript scattered on the ground, dusted off the dust with his hand, stood up with a smile, and walked into the secret room.
Li Yichen's appearance was no different from what he had imagined-all covered in bandages, only his eyes, nose and mouth were exposed. Judging from Meiyu, he is somewhat similar to his younger brother Li Yifeng, but his body is too weak.
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 detoxification problem now," Luo Ye sat down and said, "He is like a poisonous flower, without the nourishment of toxins, his whole body has been completely broken. If the poison maker is still alive, he might be saved. But it’s a pity that if he is alive, I can’t tell you about the poisoning today. Fate is really teasing people, I didn’t expect that we would have been in contact for a long time.”
"How sure are you sure that I am poisoned?" Li Yichen asked.
Luo Ye tilted his head, "50%, maybe less than that."
"With such data, how can I easily believe your words?" Li Yichen snorted.
"It doesn't matter if 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 is possible?" Li Yichen asked.
"You have been ill since you were young, and then Doctor Liang appeared. Only he can 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 such a speculation was a bit too simple, and he quickly overturned his conclusion: "No, since he is a world-class killer, he should not care about our family. This little money, unless—"
"Unless they just use your father's fault to pave the way for another person." Luo Ye pointed out.
Li Yichen took a deep breath and leaned back heavily on the back of the wheelchair. 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 connection. It was the poison maker who forced his father to embezzle, and then handed over the evidence to Fang Tianming—all of which was truly seamless plan of! Interlocking, ingenious plan!
Li Yichen couldn't help being angry for the pain he and his family suffered. "It turns out that all this is the ghost of Fang Tianming! Why on earth did he do this? He is obviously my father's best friend, why should he treat our family like this? For money? Or for power?"
Luo Ye said: “Although Lin Wanyu took over as Dingxin’s president, Fang Tianming’s people were both above and below the company. Although he surrendered his power, his real intention was to take Lin Wanyu overhead. In fact, he had already started to disrupt the company through the compass. The stock market is now. Although Lin Wanyu is smart, she is difficult to speak in Dingxin alone. I hope you can help her and work with me to get rid of Fang Tianming."
"Joining hands?" 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 behind to support him. Those people are the ones who ruin your family."
Li Yichen's eyes sharpened, "Do you have any clues to these people?"
"No, they are very cunning, there is hardly any clues to follow." Luo Ye sighed slightly, "Also, I want to remind you that since they can hire killers like poison masters, 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 mine."
Li Yichen nodded slightly. He had expected that Luo Ye was not a bodyguard as simple as that, and there must be a special reason to follow Lin Wanyu. "What is your purpose?" Since you want to work together, mutual frankness is a must.
"My purpose is a top-secret information." Luo Ye said bluntly, "but at the same time I don't 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 sent away before the accident?" Li Yichen asked.
Luo Ye's eyes lit up, "What are you talking about?"
Li Yichen sighed, "I also want to figure it out. I was placed in Dingxin's inside line and told me that before Lin Wanyu's father boarded the plane, Ling Yuanfeng had personally visited him. The two talked for a long time, and finally Lin Yuanfeng took a USB flash drive— Ling Yuanfeng is Ling Dingyi’s grandfather, Jinghua’s No. 2 character..."
Luo Ye nodded, "I see..." Things have finally gotten their eyebrows. It seems that we have to find a chance to meet Ling Yuanfeng, but what is urgently needed is to deal with Fang Tianming and dig out the hidden forces behind Fang Tianming so that Lin Wanyu can get rid of danger. . "How are you thinking about joining hands?"
Li Yichen smiled softly: "You can tell me your purpose, I don't have any excuses not to cooperate with you, let's say, what do you want?"
Luo Ye pointed at Hu Jiyao who was aside, "She."
Li Yichen was taken aback, "What?"
"I need Miss Hu to agree to Lin Wanyu's request and become Dingxin's Minister of Supervision." Luo Ye said with a smile.
Hu Jiyao said: "Yichen, I haven't had time to tell you about this..."
Li Yichen calmed his mind, "Yaoyao, 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 when I know you are about to..." Her tears welled up unconsciously.
Li Yichen shook his head gently, "I will die sooner or later, and revenge will make me really happy."
"But who will take care of you?"
"I'm fine." Li Yichen looked away.
Hu Jiyao felt sad, wiped away the tears on her face, and nodded heavily, "Well then, I'll go to Dingxin." Although Luo Ye told her not to hope for detoxification, she still wanted to try it. Try, and only if the real behind-the-scenes culprit is found, can Nanshan Manor be fair.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Luo Ye stood up and put the manuscript on the chair. "When you are alone, you can read the diary you wrote when you were a kid, and review how you should smile to your family." After speaking, he walked out of the secret room without looking back. . . )
