The entire Bai family manor was surrounded in multiple layers. All the bodyguards that originally belonged to the Bai family were replaced by men in black who were holding weapons with cold expressions.
They are all well-trained and professional bodyguards.
It is still a brightly lit place, but it is no longer as lively as before, but more cold and solemn.
It was obviously fine twenty minutes ago, nothing much has changed.
Li Yuanzhi's car stopped in front of the manor. Looking at the people blocking him, his voice turned icy.
“Is this how the Bai family treats their guests?”
The assistant beside him was also a little confused. The gentleman hurried over after receiving the news that the eldest lady was poisoned.
But they were stopped before they even reached the door, and the person who stopped them had no expression on their face.
The black muzzle of their gun was aimed at their heads, and they were likely to be shot dead if they took one step forward.
Lu Min walked over slowly and explained to the person in front of him.
“People inside can’t get out for the time being, and people outside are not allowed in for the time being. Mr. Li, please wait at the door.”
Li Yuanzhi recognized the person in front of him, "Are you Mr. Lu Min?"
These are the people around the young master and no matter what, they must be respectfully addressed as 'Sir'.
"Did something happen here? My mother and daughter are still inside. Please, Mr. Lu Min, please let me in first."
Li Yuanzhi was very polite when he spoke, but his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.
Lu Min didn't give in at all, and the smile on his face did not diminish. "Nothing will happen to the Li family master and the two young ladies. Right now, our young madam, just have some things to deal with. Once those matters are dealt with, they will naturally come out. The Li family master should just wait patiently."
After saying this, Lu Min felt a little guilty. He reffered to her as their young madam, which should be correct, right?
Looking at the manor in the distance that was surrounded in layers by countless bodyguards.
Li Yuanzhi also had doubts in his heart. Lu Min was here, which meant that the young master must also be here.
Today is the end of the traditional medicine competition, which shows that there must still be many representatives from various companies and families inside the manor.
At this time, they surrounded the entire manor. How could anyone without courage do this?
Li Yuanzhi lowered his head and thought, could it be possible that such a big movement was to find the person who poisoned people inside?
And one more thing, who is the young madam Lu Min is talking about?
In the villa on the side of the manor, the Bai family usually chooses to live in this place when they arrive at the manor.
This place is also equivalent to the Bai family's vacation villa area. From time to time, people will come here to rest.
Bai Ziling felt very comfortable after taking care of An Zisu. She was lying on the bed and enjoying the beautician's service with peace of mind.
The facial mask had just been put on when a man in black suddenly broke in from the villa door and lifted the person up from the bed with an expressionless face.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Bai Ziling?” Xia Chen looked at the person whose appearance was unclear due to the black facial mask.
It seems that women like to fuss over their faces.
"Who are you!" Bai Ziling tore off the mask on her face with a swipe and stared at the man in black who rushed into the the room.
The three townhouses are the places the Bai family stays when they come to the manor, and this villa is Bai Ziling's villa.
No one dares to get close except her.
At this moment, so many people came in densely without her consent, and her anger was rising.
"Take them all away." Xia Chen was too lazy to waste words.
The man in black stepped forward and lifted the person up from the bed, as if lifting a chicken.
"Who are you! What kind of people are you? How dare you to act wild in my Bai family, let me go! Let me go quickly!!"
The beautician who was servicing her was not spared, and was driven to the main building of the manor by the men in black.
Along the way, Bai Ziling saw men in black everywhere in the manor, and she was still a little confused. The place seemed to be under control of someone.
Who dares to do such a thing?
All means of transportation were controlled, and people in each room were herded into the hall.
At this moment, the hall was very noisy. A dense group of people stood there, looking at the girl on the stage uneasily.
Bai Nanxing looked at his disheveled daughter who was being carried inside, and hurried over in a hurry, feeling anxious and flustered.
“Ziling!”
Xia Chen moved his hands, signaling for others to let go.
After the man in black withdrew his hand, Bai Ziling fell hard to the ground.
"Wen Li, what do you want to do?!" Bai Ziling was lying on the ground, not even bothering to straighten her clothes and raise her hand to point at the person on the stage.
“Ms. Wen Li, this is very rude.” Bai Nanxing also followed suit.
This is his daughter, the eldest daughter of his Bai family. It is really humiliating to be thrown to the ground like an object.
This is contempt for his Bai family, naked contempt.
Wen Li stood up, walked down from the stage, and looked down at the person on the ground.
“Who gave you the poison?”
As soon as she asked this question, Bai Ziling's temples throbbed slightly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Bai Ziling calmed down and refused to admit it.
As long as she doesn't admit it, no one will be able to find any clues.
“Aren’t you going to say it?” Wen Li looked at her.
Bai Ziling sneered, "Don't think that I don't know what you want to do. Why? Have you developed feelings for An Zisu after spending so many days together? You want to avenge An Zisu, right? An Zisu hides behind women and lets women support him. What kind of man is he?"
After all, she no longer had to hide anything about her dislike of An Zisu.
It’s a joke to expect her to like this person who is just an illegitimate child.
Besides, this person must have died from the poison now. What is she afraid of? There is no proof of his death.
"Do you admit that you were the one who poisoned him?" Wen Li asked back.
Bai Ziling was stunned for a moment, then reacted with bared teeth and claws, "Don't even think about throwing dirty water on me, poisoning! I don't know anything! You are the one who has something with him, and you want to vent your anger for your little lover!"
Wen Li and An Zisu are very close to each other in these days' of competition, and everyone present is aware of this.
But they are all young boys and girls, so it is understandable when hormones break out.
Wen Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She raised her finger slightly, and Xia Chen beside Ziling kicked her to the ground.
Bai Ziling felt severe pain in her knee joints, and couldn't bear it anymore so she knelt on the ground.
“Let me ask you one last time, who gave you the poison?” Wen Li gently sat down on the black chair.
Xia Chen's eyes when he looked at Bai Ziling had changed. Bai Nanxing looked at Wen Li with wide eyes, and then looked at Bai Ziling on the ground.
"I don't know, even if I knew I wouldn't tell you." Bai Ziling sneered wildly.
This person has already determined that she was the one responsible for the poison, and wants to make her confess.
From the time she was born to now, Bai Ziling had never been bullied like this. If she had been easy, this person would have succeeded.
She is still the eldest lady of the Bai family. How will she inherit the Bai family business in the future?
Xia Chen's hand gently pressed forward on Bai Ziling's body. Bone-gnawing pain radiated from her shoulder blades. Before she could cry out, something in Xia Chen's hand was stuffed into her mouth.
“Ziling!”
Bai Nanxing looked at his daughter who was sweating profusely but unable to scream. He wanted to step forward but was stopped by someone.
Bai Ziling fell to the ground, grabbing her neck in pain with both hands, and wanted to scream, but was blocked by the cloth in her mouth.
She wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound.
Wen Li walked to the girl on the ground and squatted down, with a very patient look on her face.
“You can’t move your throat just yet, so think about it carefully. I’ll give you the last two minutes to think about whether you want to tell me or not.”
She then smiled, with a face like an angel but a smile like a devil, "If you don't need to use this voice where it should be used, then it can also be ruined."
Bai Ziling's whole body was twitching in pain, but her mind was exceptionally clear.
Wen Li was threatening her. If she didn't tell who gave her the poison, she would definitely silence her.
This ruthless woman dared to act without any scruples in front of so many people. She has a ruthless character.
"You still have one minute and thirty seconds." After saying this, Wen Li leaned over and whispered into Bai Ziling's ear, "Tell me, if you die, who will inherit the Bai family in the end? Is it An Zisu, the one you hate the most?"
Hearing these words, Bai Ziling's pupils suddenly dilated, and she whimpered and struggled to make a sound.
Xia Chen on the side chuckled. Everyone in Evans knew that the boss's interrogation methods were the most powerful.
There has never been a person who fell into the hands of the boss who couldn't spit something out of his mouth.
Strike at vital spots, kill the enemy by hitting where it hurts and crushing their spirit--this is the most effective tactic.
"Wen Li, you have really gone too far! Do you think the Bai family is really easy to bully?" Bai Nanxing stared at Wen Li and shouted.
How dare you poison Bai Ziling in front of so many people, it's really too presumptuous.
"In traditional medicine competitions, life and death depend on one's own ability. The poison was administered. Whether it can be cured depends on your ability, doesn't it?"
Bai Nanxing sneered, this person is being arrogant.
But he can’t refute anything.
Wen Li ignored the law and had people surround the entire Bai family manor and humiliated the eldest daughter of the Bai family in front of everyone.
This is no longer a problem of whether the poison can be cured or not, but the reputation of the Bai family.
Yin Rong, who saw everything clearly in the crowd, looked a little panicked, and her face turned several shades paler with fright.
Clearly, that person had said that Wen Li is a paper tiger.
But is there such a reckless paper tiger?
If she is really caught by Wen Li, wouldn't she be crippled? She should have moved faster.
But the car was stopped a second before it left the manor. Now there are people watching everywhere, and is impossible to escape.
She was in a state of turmoil. The clothes under her coat were soaked with sweat, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
She is obviously such a beautiful girl, but she is so aggressive like a Medusa.
If she doesn't get the answer she wants, she will definitely kill someone.
"Ten...nine...eight..." Xia Chen counted down slowly.
Bai Ziling's eyes widened in pain, and finally she nodded frantically.
Xia Chen stepped forward and took out the cloth in her mouth, "Yin...Rong!"
Hearing this name, Bai Nanxing frowned and thought. The Yin family did not send anyone to participate in this competition.
This is also news that he had confirmed on the first day of the official start of the competition. Which representative is this person named Yin Rong?
“Where is the person?” Wen Li glanced at the crowd below.
The representatives of each family in the crowd also looked around them to see if the person Bai Ziling mentioned is there.
The sweat on Yin Rong's forehead fell even more sparsely until Xia Chen accurately picked her out from the crowd.
Wen Li's eyes fell on her, which was not an unfamiliar face.
“Are you sure she gave you the poison?”
Bai Ziling nodded, "Yes..."
"Xia Chen, take the person away." Wen Li ordered.
Qingya over there must be ready. No matter who this person is or what his status is, Qingya will definitely pry something out of her mouth.
Li Langhua stood at the door of the room, taking in everything just now. This was the first room in the corridor, connecting to the hall.
The bodyguard only said that she was not allowed to come out, but he did not say that she was not allowed to open the door and look.
She could clearly see the whole process of what happened in the entire hall.
"Old lady, you can leave." The bodyguard said politely to Li Langhua.
The person they want has been found, and there is no point in locking them up.
Bai Ziling was helped to stand up from the ground, and Xia Chen threw the antidote in his hand.
The boss is the gentlest this time. If it were the same as before, she would have started by breaking her hands and feet.
In such a glamorous place as the Imperial Capital, the dark methods of the underground world must be restrained.
“Today you must give me an explanation and give an explanation to everyone here. This is not a place where you can leave after running wild!” Bai Nanxing gritted his teeth.
If Wen Li left like this, how could the Bai family regain their dignity?
Xia Chen was speechless. This uncle really didn't know how to distinguish the situation clearly.
"This is the imperial capital. The Bai family and the Fu family are family friends. If this matter comes to the Fu family, you may not be able to handle it easily, let alone the Li family."
Some people mentioned the Fu family to oppress people, hoping to scare this girl who didn't know the heights of the world.
They watched in disbelief as Wen Li locked up the head of the Li family. She even dared to provoke the Li family. This was no joke.
"I think Mr. Bai should go directly to Mr. Fu to ask for help and see how the Fu family can help the Bai family earn back this face." Someone made a suggestion.
Wen Li is indeed very arrogant, but don’t forget that this is the territory of the imperial capital.
in the entire Imperial Capital it was not yet Wen Li’s turn to give orders.
“Are you done?” A man slowly came down the spiral staircase.
The man's face is stunning under the light. The light of the crystal lamp shines on the man's face, which is enchanting and charming. There is a loose smile on his thin lips. His posture is lazy, but noble and domineering, and his every move carries an intimidating aura.
This is the man who was invited into the manor by Bai Nanxing tonight.
"Master Fu." Bai Nanxing stepped forward and nodded politely, "I'm sorry for frightening you."
He was about to blame Wen Li, but he stopped when he saw the man's next move.
Fu Yuxiu ignored him and walked directly to the girl. He raised his hand to gently tidy up the hair that fell around her cheeks.
“Is it time to come home with me?”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was speechless.
Bai Nanxing also looked at the two of them in great astonishment. No wonder the Fu family, who never asked about the Bai family's affairs, would have Fu Yuxiu come over tonight.
The most mysterious young master of the entire Fu family, a person rumored throughout the entire imperial capital, appeared here.
The representatives of each family were also stunned. This man was Master Fu.
It is very likely that he is the future head of the Fu family, but the person who appeared on the TV news is not this face.
If it is this face, who can forget it.
"I have something else to do, you go ahead." Wen Li pulled her hand away from the man.
Fu Yuxiu chuckled and touched the tip of her nose affectionately with his fingertips, "I'll wait for you."
Most people now understand why Wen Li had the courage to surround the entire manor in the presence of the Fu family.
And the Li family was imprisoned directly.
This is confidence.
Fu Yuxiu let go of her hand, and his narrow phoenix eyes with a hint of sternness swept over everyone present.
With just one glance, everyone present understood what the man meant.
This Wen Li is the woman next to Fu Yuxiu.
Not to mention that none of their families are in the imperial capital. Even if they were in the imperial capital, they would definitely not be able to offend a family like the Fu family.
Bai Nanxing's face became even more embarrassed. Luole walked out and whispered something in his ear.
"The old man said that you can't go against Miss Wen Li. If you don't want to disgrace the Bai family again, don't do unnecessary things."
Bai Nanxing also understands why the old man has never appeared since the beginning. His consciousness has been unclear since three years ago. As for the Bai family's affairs, the old man has long since given up.
But the control of the Bai family has never been handed over to him.
What is the old man’s attitude towards today’s matter?
So far, the old man has never shown any intention of getting involved.
Feiran walked in from the door and said something into the man's ear.
After hearing this, the man looked at the little girl in front of him and said softly, "After you have vented your anger, are you going to listen to me?"
“What?” Wen Li looked at him.
Fu Yuxiu chuckled lightly, lowered his head and kissed the corner of the girl's lips, "After I finish handling your affairs, I'll take you out to play."
Li Langhua saw the interaction between the two of them, and she knew the outstanding-looking man.
The second young master of the Fu family.
"Miss Wen Li actually knows the young master." Ruiqiu said.
That man is the most mysterious man in the entire imperial capital, and his story is like a secret even among the four major families.
Some people say that Fu Yuxiu did not grow up in the imperial capital, but in the south of country G.
However, the elegance of the Jiangnan water town failed to make him as gentle as jade. Instead, he became ruthless and full of hostility.
He acts decisively and swiftly, and often even Master Fu yield him in deference.
After all, this is Fu Yuxiu who once swept across Continent F and made the Fu family famous.
"So what if they know each other? It can't change anything." Li Langhua spat out these words.
It seemed like a sarcasm, but more like a warning to herself that she must not be soft-hearted.
"That's Wen Li's boyfriend. They have a good relationship." Li Li said next to her.
Even when a man is facing many people, his unbridled favor and adoration towards Wen Li are the envy of many girls.
“You mean, the young master likes her very much?” Ruiqiu said.
Li Li nodded in confirmation, "Well, can't you also see that?"
Rachel looked at the old lady with some worry. Originally, Wen Li's temperament and identity were already unacceptable for the old lady.
Now that Fu Yuxiu is involved, I'm afraid the old lady will have a headache for a long time.
“Go back first, Yuanzhi is waiting at the door.” Li Langhua turned around and walked out of the door with a few people.
Li Yuanzhi, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, went to greet her. He wanted to say something, but he saw the tired look on the old lady's face.
After moving their eldest daughter from the wheelchair to their car, the Li family separated and headed towards the center of the imperial capital.
"Wen Li surrounded the entire manor. Is this true?" Li Yuanzhi looked at his daughter and asked.
Li Ruobing, who had been struggling all night, was still frightened, so she nodded and answered yes.
After getting the affirmative answer, Li Yuanzhi did not look very good.
“Dad? Last time you asked me to collect Wen Li’s DNA, how was the test result?” Li Ruobing asked cautiously.
She could never think that Li Yuanzhi collected Wen Li's DNA just to keep in storage.
Whose child is Wen Li, and what is her relationship with her father?
This is the most important thing.
"You are not in good health, these things are not something you can worry about." Li Yuanzhi covered his daughter with the small blanket next to him.
Li Ruobing looked at her father's unwillingness to speak, and consciously stopped asking.
She is not a fool. From her grandma's attitude towards Wen Li, she can get a rough idea, but she just doesn't want to delve too deeply.
Wen Li and the Li family may have an unexpected relationship, and that relationship is what everyone wants to hide.
“So, it seems Wen Li is quite courageous.”
Li Yuanzhi suddenly spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
It’s not like he hasn’t collected information about Wen Li, and he has also seen the girl with a cold temperament.
A twenty-year-old girl has the courage to lead people to surround the entire manor, but in her eyes, it is not that she is not afraid of offending everyone, but that she just completely didn't care.
Twins from the same mother and father, Wen Li's courage is not comparable to that of Li Li.
If she returns to the Li family, she will be the most suitable person for the position of head of the Li family.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Li Ruobing looked at her father's thoughtful look and asked.
“Nothing.” Li Yuanzhi smiled.
.........
In the dark and gloomy basement, the end of the long corridor was submerged in darkness.
The wall made of blue cement bricks looks even colder. Lights lit every ten meters on the wall, but are dim and do not bring much substantive effect.
The entire corridor is still dark and cold, and the draft blowing from nowhere can make people's hair stand on end.
Yin Rong was led into the corridor, and the cold wind blew past her, causing goosebumps to rise on her skin.
The door in the middle opened, and Qingya, who was sitting inside, stood up wearing white goggles and patted her clothes gently.
It felt like she had been waiting for a long time.
"What the boss means is that as long as the result is achieved, the means don't matter." Xia Chen pushed the person inside and closed the door.
Qingya gently moved the scalpel on her hand, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
“That’s what I intend…”
One floor above the entire basement is different from the coldness below, the upper level is bright and warm.
The screams that kept coming from below were not heard at all.
Wen Li changed her clothes and sat in the living room, her whole body wrapped in a comfortable long warm-colored nightgown.
Su Jingjing handed over the juice in her hand, "I didn't expect this harvest to be quite big."
She retrieved all the electronic communication equipment used by the woman named Yin Rong as quickly as possible.
The Yin family did not send a representative to participate in the traditional medicine competition. This Yin Rong only appeared on the official opening day.
After investigation, it was discovered that she was not from the Yin family at all.
She is an impostor pretending to be someone else.
"I'm curious, why did she poison the top five? Is this to prove that she is more powerful?" Su Jingjing sat next to Wen Li and leaned back.
That woman’s thinking cannot be measured by that of a normal person.
Wen Li has been searching for her for many years but there was no news. The entire continent is about to be turned upside down and there is no clues at all, as if she has vanished from the face of the Earth.
This time she showed up on her own.
"Blue and white is the work she is most proud of. Apart from her, it is impossible for anyone else to make and use it. Besides, I have been looking for her for so long, so she may be keeping an eye on me." Wen Li took a sip of coffee.
Su Jingjing nodded, six or seven years have passed, and Wen Li is no longer the child she was before.
Wen Li has been on the move in these years, not going to the same place, and living in various places with multiple identities.
That woman never imagined that the child would become what she is now.
“Using such refined method, it would probably wouldn't take long before one wouldn't take long before one would completely spill everything. I’m surprised. That woman spent so much effort to do such a thing after hiding for so many years. She should have stayed hidden. Now she suddenly made such a big fuss in the traditional medicine competition. What is her purpose?”
She didn't think that woman would come purely for Wen Li.
"If you can analyze the thinking of a madman, then you are almost like a madman yourself." Wen Li suddenly said.
“All her signal sources are from the north.” Su Jingjing pointed to the red dots that appeared on the computer screen.
This range is the entire northern part of country G.
Qingya smelled of blood when she came up from the basement, and there were mottled blood stains on the corners of her clothes.
“How is it?” Wen Li looked up at her.
“She is not a tough nut to crack, a little scare and she spilled the truth.” Qingya took off her coat and threw it on the sofa.
“She is from the north, in the north of country G. The woman who gave her blue and white poison is named Rui Si. She is about thirty years old, 1.65 meters tall, and speaks standard northern dialect.”
“And she was also arranged here to poison the winner of this competition and to test the toxicity of the blue and white. Moreover, we are all familiar with the organization this person belongs to.”
Su Jingjing and Wen Li looked at her at the same time, and Qing Ya uttered two words in her mouth, "Purgatory."
Pan Geng is the largest force in Continent D. Boasting a long history and vast influence. He reigns supreme as the undisputed leader of the entire underground world in Continent D.
"Wait a minute, what are the forces from continent D doing here?" Su Jingjing's eyes widened.
G country belongs to H continent, and this hand is stretched too far.
“There is nothing surprising about the intercontinental alliance and the integration of all continents.”
But Purgatory is so powerful that is it worth it to send people from such a distance to poison a few people.
"So the reason why you couldn't find that woman for so many years is because she went to purgatory?" Su Jingjing chuckled.
No wonder Evans tried all power and and dug three feet into the ground but still couldn't catch the woman.
"No matter what the relationship between this woman named Rui Si and her is, at least we have a direction. I will set off to the north." Qingya looked at Wen Li and said.
She closed the computer in her hand and said, "Let me go. You may not be able to recognize her if you go."
Over the years, that woman's voice and appearance must have changed a lot. Qingya is usually calm, but when this happened, she couldn't help it.
"No, I must go with you this time. I have been looking for her for so long, and I must catch her with my own hands this time!" Qing Ya's eyes turned red.
How many years has she waited? This time she must catch this woman with her own hands.
She will cut off her head with her own hands to pay homage to Qing Jue.
"You have more important things to do." Wen Li looked at Qing Ya.
Su Jingjing was in a daze. This was the first time that Wen Li denied Qing Ya's idea.
“Since the final direction is purgatory, I need you to go to D Continent and Qiangnan.”
Qing Ya controlled her stirred emotions, "You mean what happened back then was probably not just the work of that woman?"
“What is the connection between the Qihuang Project, Qiangnan, and Purgatory is what we need to find out most.”
It is most reassuring to leave these to Qing Ya to investigate.
“I understand, I’ll set off now.”
Su Jingjing lay back on the sofa. This happened one after another, and Wen Li seem to not get tired.
“Xia Chen, we are also ready to set off.”
Just as Xia Chen was about to agree, he saw a man walking in from the door.
"Boss, you'd better deal with the problem at hand first." He said, patting Su Jingjing's hand and dragging her upstairs.
Wen Li turned around and saw the stunning man entering the door.
Fu Yuxiu walked up to her and stretched out his hand to pull her up.
“It’s time for us to go home.”
She almost forgot that she was living in Lishan Mansion now.
“I still have some things to deal with, you go back first.”
Fu Yuxiu raised his finger and pointed at the clock over there, holding on to the person's hand and saying, "It's one o'clock, little kid, you need to go to bed. Be obedient and I'll take you to play in the north tomorrow..."
Wen Li grabbed the man by the collar and asked, "Are you going north tomorrow?"
The man looked condescendingly at the little girl's hand holding his collar, raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, it's snowing heavily in the north now. I'll take you to build a snowman."
The tone was completely like coaxing a child, and Fei Ran and Lu Min were already used to it.
Young master, you are raising a daughter.
"Let's leave now." Wen Li grabbed the man and walked towards the door.
It takes no effort to get there. Setting off to the north with Fu Yuxiu will save a lot of trouble.
"Not now." Fu Yuxiu stretched out his hand to grab the person and held her close to him.
“Aren’t you going to the north?” Wen Li asked.
The man smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and held her still in his arms.
“Our little girl is going to bed at this time...”
