I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 581 - 230 Coercion and Bribery, Headquarters (5k)

Wen Yan silently watched Li Linlin sitting on the ground, gasping for breath.

This was something he hadn't expected.

Cai Heizi's shamelessness had reached a new peak again; this bastard even tried to use his ex-girlfriend's daughter as a pawn.

But the fact that he dared to trust this Li Linlin at least proved one thing: his relationship with Li Linlin's mother was definitely not just any ordinary exes—they must have trusted each other a great deal.

Moreover, he definitely did a very detailed investigation on Li Linlin, and must have had her watched closely for a long time.

Otherwise, knowing Cai Heizi's nature, he wouldn't dare to trust Li Linlin in such a matter.

What Li Linlin said made sense, but now Cai Heizi was dead, so Wen Yan didn't dare to easily believe her.

He raised his hand, and the metal bracelet on his wrist flowed into water; with a thought, a droplet of water flew out and landed on Wen Yan's palm.

In an instant, that droplet became black. Wen Yan controlled this single drop, and slowly made it float towards Li Linlin.

"I don't really believe what you're saying. Minister Cai is dead, so there's no one who can tell whether your words are true or not.

I'll get someone later to summon Minister Cai's soul and ask him myself.

I don't have the time now to watch you all the time, let alone waste it bullshitting with you.

So I need to make sure of one thing: when I go deal with other business, if you try anything sneaky, I might not stop you in time, but I'll definitely be able to kill you.

I believe, given the situation, you can understand, right?"

Li Linlin listened to Wen Yan's every word, her face turning pale. She didn't know what that droplet floating in front of her eyes was, but she knew for sure it wasn't anything good.

"Don't worry too much. This is just corpse poison from a Flying Zombie, and it's wrapped up in a special treasure.

As long as it doesn't break open, you swallow this thing, it's like swallowing a capsule endoscope.

It won't harm you at all, and you won't feel a thing. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

But if you have any thought of trying to expel it, the corpse poison inside will be released.

Trust me, I'm from Fuyu Mountain. When it comes to corpse poison, I'm a pro.

There won't be any problems."

Seeing Li Linlin seemed worried, Wen Yan even thoughtfully explained again. The more he explained, the paler Li Linlin's face became.

But looking at Wen Yan's expression, she knew that if she even dared say a word of refusal, Wen Yan would kill her right now.

Anyway, considering her identity and everything she'd done here, no matter how deep they dig, she's a hardcore villain. She'd die for nothing.

Li Linlin weighed her options, obediently opened her mouth, and let the drop of black water fall into it.

She only felt a chill in her throat, and something slid down her esophagus into her stomach.

Wen Yan glanced down at Li Linlin.

"Do they know you did this?"

"No, they don't."

"They could know."

"What?" Li Linlin was at a loss. "But they really don't know."

"Don't know you did this? Or don't know you'd be here today?" Wen Yan asked the key question.

"They do know I'm nearby, but they don't know what I'm doing right now..."

"No, they know. The changes over at the Domain entrance aren't exactly a secret—lots of people would know. They'd know too. And you're here, and able to pull this off, so it must be you."

Li Linlin began to understand a little. Wen Yan was trying to pin this on her. But if he did, and Minister Cai was dead, what was she supposed to do?

Killing a Minister, and a Europa undercover at that—carry such a charge, she was dead for sure.

Li Linlin started to panic, wanting to say something more, but when she met Wen Yan's gaze, she shuddered and swallowed her words.

"If I can confirm you were put here by Minister Cai, that's your way out.

If I can't, trust me, falling into Scorching Sun Department's hands would be better than falling into mine.

Fuyu Mountain hasn't had zombie material like you yet.

What you do next, that's on you."

Wen Yan turned and left. Li Linlin hesitated, clenched her jaw, and followed after him.

She was screwed now. Who could have guessed Minister Cai would die, instantly leaving her with nowhere to go—dead if she went left, dead if she went right.

Thinking about how Minister Cai only told her to speak to Wen Yan and nothing else, and now even his corpse was carried out by Wen Yan...

Although Wen Yan looked ruthless, his hands truly stained, but thinking back—just when she revealed her mother was Minister Cai's ex-girlfriend, Wen Yan let go.

She still felt that, for now, Wen Yan was the only one she could trust. The rest—no way.

At least Wen Yan didn't kill her outright, and the others very well might have.

Li Linlin concealed her presence, trailing Wen Yan. Wen Yan glanced back but said nothing.

Yet he could feel that, as Li Linlin followed him away from this highway—already blown to a complete mess—the entry and exit returned to the original state.

Wen Yan, with Cai Qidong's wrapped-up body on his back, stepped off the highway, and at that instant, he sensed a horde of eyes all fall on him at once.

Wen Yan drooped his eyelids, touched the bracelet on his wrist; the bracelet turned to water, and he dipped his left middle finger in it, lacing it with a bit of poison, then used the breath he'd just gathered in a blessing, channeling it onto the bracelet.
