ung her sword, slaying the white spiders that were dangling down by their webs. She protected Sun Yi, who was still dazed. The team members listened to her words and understood their current situati..."It's too late to say anything now. Since things have come to this, I will protect my own life while protecting Gong Fan's life. He can't be sacrificed again, or else I won't be able to complete my mission."
Ripples said helplessly.
"That's good to know. Shortly after you went to the hospital yesterday, Yun Yi was moved."
Who did it
"Your boss is Wan Liang."
"Can you track it down to a specific location"
"Okay."
"Please keep an eye on Yun Yi's condition. She can't die or wake up during this mission."
The ripples continued.
"That's no problem, but she's in a deep coma now, which makes it harder to find out who was behind this. What are your intentions by doing this"
The stone mortar immediately asked.
“Combining your original memories and the information you provided, I think the mastermind is obviously cultivating Yun Yi. After the entire Special Crime Investigation Department was wiped out, Yun Yi, who woke up at the right time, became the head of this department. And she's the one least likely to be suspected.”
After Yuan Yi's death, Yun Yi returned and took over Wan Liang's position as head of the department. Zhi Hongliang even extended his business reach to Europe, but as you said about deliberately cultivating him, I can't see it for now.
The relationship between Zeng Hongliang and Yun Yi was also very complicated, they didn't completely trust each other, especially after Zhen Yun Yi's return.
She claimed that someone had taken her hostage quietly to sabotage their business, and even found a perfect stand-in for her. Therefore, the one who died wasn't her, so whatever the original person did wouldn't implicate her. Her excuse was very clean.
The current act of being absent-minded and feigning illness is just a way to avoid this mission and pave the way for a legitimate return in the future.
Shi Jiusu brushed the light screen in front of him, telling Lian Yi the news he had found.
“That's why I have to keep her immobilized, no running around, no moving freely, until after I 'sacrifice' myself, then she can wake up.”
Ripple smiled and said.
"Do you want to completely replace her"
The millstone reacted immediately, shouting loudly.
"Aren't I already replacing her"
Ripples deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of the millstone.
"You understand what I mean, don't try to fool me! The risks are too high. If we get caught, it'll be a dead end for us all, and you'll need someone to help you with this."
The stone mill spoke solemnly.
You said that the bug of this world was a hidden force, and Yun Yi had clearly become a part of it. There's a ready-made way to infiltrate it, why wouldn't I use it
As for those cooperating with me, isn't Wan Liang already cooperating with me!
Ripple had already made a plan, which is why she proposed to meet Zhen Yunyi. Once she confirmed that it was the real person, she drew a strand of evil energy from the evil weapon dagger on her space and injected it into his body when shaking his hand. This ensured that nothing could be traced, and kept him in a coma.
Because this realm isn't a paranormal one, extracting even this sliver of evil energy is extremely difficult, and it's unclear how long it can be sustained. That's why she had the mortarstone keep an eye on the target. If it weren't for needing to smoothly switch identities and control the target's movements, she wouldn't want to expend so much mental energy.
"This was a risky move. Hope it works out."
"This is me taking the initiative and laying the groundwork in advance. Otherwise, I'll end up in the same situation as my previous life, unable to save my original self and even dragging down those around me. The mission would inevitably fail."
"You focus on dealing with Zeng Hongliang, I'll keep an eye on things here."
Seeing the car enter a villa district, Shiju cut off the conversation with Lianyi.
The ripples also felt the car slowing down, and then sat up straight.
Eileen walked into the villa with a radiant smile, her steps light and lively. She went straight to the study on the third floor.
Eileen knocked on the study door, hesitated for a moment, then pushed it open and said with a smile:
"Boss, I brought Yun Jie back!"
Ripples didn't speak, she followed Eileen into the study. The door closed behind her, leaving the four lions outside. Two bodyguards stood at the entrance, preventing them from approaching.
Facing the four men who were much stronger than themselves, the two bodyguards were extremely vigilant, their eyes constantly fixed on the group.
As soon as ripples entered the study, she began her performance.
"Yun Yi, you really made me wait!"
A middle-aged man sitting in an executive chair smiled and said.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, boss!"
After the ripples steadied, she nodded slightly, exuding a cool and aloof aura, just like Yun Yi. She had practiced this move privately for a long time.
Then she raised her eyes to look at Yun Yi's leader, Zeng Hongliang. The man looked younger than in the photos, only in his thirties. He wasn't tall, only about 1.76 meters, but his aura was very strong. He wore a tailored indigo blue three-piece suit without a tie, with a blue checkered scarf around his neck that added a finishing touch.
Zeng Hongliang held a cigar in his hand, raised his hand to signal the ripples to sit down. He placed the cigar in the ashtray and then asked directly:
"Yun Yi, how did you fare this time"
Things aren't going well in Europe. I found a few helpers through friends, hoping to test the market there. Just as I found a way in, my boss urged me to come back. For now, I have to put that on hold and return first.
"Do you want the group to expand into the European market"
“This trip is a scouting mission. It's also about finding new sources for the group. If negotiations with JSJ don't go well, we won't be too passive.”
"But the cost is too high like that."
Zeng Hongliang also wanted to expand and become stronger, so he wouldn't oppose Yun Yi's trip to Europe this time.
"But their goods are high-end, Southeast Asia is their biggest buyer, and there are also a few small countries where the war has escalated. They have already supplied these countries with goods, so they've gotten a share of the pie."
After the ripples subsided, she recited the prepared homework aloud.
Eileen brewed coffee for Lianyi and tea for Zeng Hongliang, then stayed in the study without leaving.
Even though Lianyi herself disliked coffee, she still picked it up and took a sip. After finishing, she simply frowned.
"Yun Jie, is the coffee too hot"
Eileen noticed Ripples' expression and immediately asked.
I only drink freshly ground black coffee, I don't like this instant one, the taste is too bad.
Ripples set down the coffee cup and spoke directly.
"It was my oversight. I'll go get a new one right away."
After Eileen finished speaking, she immediately took the cup of coffee in front of Ripple. Ten minutes later, she brought another cup, but Ripple didn't touch it.
Zeng Hongliang said nothing, just his eyes flickered for a moment, then he continued the previous topic.
"So I want to take the entire Southeast Asian market, and then collaborate with Europe."
"The boss's thinking is right, I think we should change our approach to this deal." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What do you want to do
We want both goods and money, and we also want people to stay.
With a fierce gaze, Lian Yi said.
"You don't seem to be worried about choking."
Zeng Hongliang said with a chuckle.
"Slay the bold and starve the timid. Since we're taking the whole market into our group's hands, we naturally need to be quick, accurate, and ruthless!" only you have it, everyone else doesn't. When everyone in the building runs out of food, they will naturally turn on those who have it. They only have four people, plus Lianyi, making five people, in...
