"Yu Yan, do you think Shen Lang will succeed?"
Ye Shishi said this, then quickly changed the subject.
"Perhaps,"
Wang Yu Yan knew Shen Lang's strength, so her heart skipped a beat as she replied.
"Good, then we'll prepare the food and warm the wine, and wait for his triumphant return."
A hint of mischief flickered in Ye Shishi's eyes as she said to Wang Yu Yan.
While Ye Shishi and Wang Yu Yan were chatting, Bai Niao and Wu Ya, who were in their hospital ward at Baihua Hospital, were drinking congee. Suddenly, Wu Ya frowned, placed his bowl of congee on the table, and said to Bai Niao, "Bai Niao, we must leave immediately."
"Why?"
Upon hearing Wu Ya's words, Bai Niao looked puzzled and asked.
"I smell something, the smell of death."
Wu Ya spoke, "I am Wu Ya, and I have an extraordinary sensitivity to death. I have a premonition that if we don't leave now, both you and I will die."
"Leave—"
Bai Niao knew that Wu Ya's words were not an exaggeration, as Wu Ya had clawed his way out of piles of corpses. His words would not be wrong.
Therefore, Bai Niao put down his bowl, quickly pulled out the IV drip and other tubes, opened the window behind the bed, and leaped out.
After Bai Niao jumped, Wu Ya followed, and they disappeared into a man-made forest behind the hospital.
"Hello, sir, they were staying here."
Five minutes after Bai Niao and Wu Ya left, Shen Lang arrived at the ward, led by a nurse, only to find that Bai Niao and Wu Ya were already gone.
"How could this be? I saw them drinking congee five minutes ago. Perhaps they went to the restroom."
The nurse said to Shen Lang upon seeing the empty beds.
"Alright, it's fine. I'll wait for my friends here. You can go back to your work."
Shen Lang had met the nurse on the sixth floor and tricked her into believing he was their friend. He hadn't expected them to disappear just as he arrived. It seemed they had sensed something and fled.
Thinking he had come all this way for nothing, Shen Lang felt a bit dejected.
"Next time, I won't even give you a chance to escape."
After leaving a harsh remark, Shen Lang turned and left. He then drove back to the villa.
"Husband, you're back so soon. Did you succeed?"
As Shen Lang entered the house, Wang Yu Yan ran out from the kitchen and asked him.
"Alas, don't mention it. They had already fled by the time I arrived. They were lucky to have escaped with their lives."
Shen Lang said, "I let them off easy."
"It's alright. If it didn't work this time, there will be other opportunities."
Ye Shishi came out carrying a braised fish and smiled at Shen Lang, "Wash up and eat. I've warmed the wine for you."
"Yes, next time we'll slaughter them and prevent them from causing trouble and constantly targeting you."
Shen Lang placed the Yi Xi sword back on its stand and then went to the kitchen to wash his hands. Soon, Ye Shishi and Wang Yu Yan served all the dishes, and the three of them began to eat.
While Shen Lang and the two women were eating, in a five-star hotel in Nanling, Yu Lin Ling was engrossed in reading a copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber." She was so focused that she didn't notice Wan Wan approaching her from behind with an iPad.
Wan Wan didn't disturb Yu Lin Ling. Seeing that Yu Lin Ling was reading, she found a seat for herself, put on her headphones, and started playing a game.
Half an hour later, Yu Lin Ling put down the book in her hands and turned around to see Wan Wan. She walked up to Wan Wan, took off her headphones, and asked, "You're back so soon. Have you found out who that person is?"
"Sister Lin Ling, you can underestimate me, but you can't underestimate our organization."
Wan Wan played with the iPad in her hands and smiled at Yu Lin Ling, "For the task you assigned, I didn't have to exert much effort to find out."
"Oh, who is it?"
Upon hearing that Wan Wan had found out the person's identity, Yu Lin Ling became very interested and said to Wan Wan.
"You see for yourself."
Wan Wan nodded, handed the iPad to Yu Lin Ling, and smiled.
"It's him?"
When Yu Lin Ling saw the information on the tablet and the prominent name, her eyes widened. "Impossible, how could it be him?"
"That's right, it is him. The laboratory on Paradise Island was jointly established by the Zhao family, the Sha Dao Hui, and several other forces. The Zhao family member who was in charge at the time is the name you see here."
Wan Wan said, "Originally, very few people knew about this matter, but unfortunately, there was an informant within the Zhao family. This informant had a mistress, and after getting drunk one time, he told her about it. This mistress happened to be a pawn we placed within the Zhao family in Longdu."
"You placed a pawn in the Zhao family?"
Hearing Wan Wan's words, Yu Lin Ling became very tense. "Do you have one in the Kong family in Longdu as well?"
"Of course. We have one in each of the five major families, so the Kong family in Longdu is no exception."
Wan Wan smiled, "Sister Lin Ling, don't be nervous. Although we place pawns, we don't interfere with the five major families; we just gather intelligence."
"Besides, you are no longer considered a member of the Kong family in Longdu, so their affairs have nothing to do with you anymore. You should focus on how to tell Shen Lang this name."
"By the way, I'm suddenly very curious. If Shen Lang clashes with this Mr. Zhao, who do you think will die and who will live?"
Yu Lin Ling looked at the iPad, her expression becoming playful. "Yes, their clash will be very interesting. Either Shen Lang dies, or the other person dies. However, no matter who dies, it will ultimately benefit Young Master Kong."
"Of course, if both of them die, that would be even better."
As she said this, Yu Lin Ling looked towards Longdu, a hint of depth suddenly appearing in her eyes. She decided to do something for Kong Wu Dao.
Just as Yu Lin Ling was contemplating how to stir up trouble, Shen Lang, who was eating, suddenly heard his phone ring.
The caller was none other than Chu Ge.
Chu Ge was the softest part of Shen Lang's heart. Seeing that it was Chu Ge calling, Shen Lang put down his bowl and walked out with his phone.
"Shen Lang, I heard you went to Shuzhong. Are you back?"
The phone was answered, and Chu Ge's voice rang out.
"Chu Ge, I'm back. What's wrong?"
Chu Ge calling proactively put Shen Lang in a good mood, and he smiled.
"Shen Lang, tomorrow night at eight o'clock, at the Nanling Grand Hotel, Zhao Shengtian and I are getting engaged. I hope you can be there. Can you?"
Hearing Shen Lang's voice, Chu Ge's cold tone suddenly softened as she spoke.
"Engaged?"
Shen Lang heard this and said, "So soon?"
"Okay, I've noted it. I will be there on time tomorrow night."
