The screams of Custard Pudding Dumpling seemed to echo in his ears, and the young man's body began to tremble unconsciously.

Later.

He was stripped of his clothes and laid on a bed of chains without any dignity for research.

Taking blood...

Cutting flesh...

Later on, he was even injected with some strange reagents, and his body began to mutate!

Those people's wild laughter, crazy eyes, and faces that made him hate them to the core.

He can remember it clearly now!

(There are actually even more cruel things, but I won’t describe them to avoid not passing the review)

The young man let out a long breath. After experiencing decades of torture, he could still act like a normal person without suffering a mental breakdown. He was considered to be strong inside.

The young man looked out the window at the endless sea of ​​stars outside.

Fortunately, he no longer has to go back to that nightmare-like place because he has been rescued.

Qinglian, oh no, it should be Qingyi.

His real name should be Qingyi, and Qinglian is just the name he uses when he goes out on missions.

In fact, he gave himself the name Qingyi. He couldn't remember what his name was, as if there was a gap in his memory.

Qingyi sat on the edge of the bed, somewhat lost in thought.

"bite--"

The crisp doorbell rang, and Qingyi came back to her senses. It must be someone from the headquarters asking them to make some records.

He picked up the custard pudding dumpling and walked out.

Jie Yuchen and his companions planned to go to Hangzhou to find Wuxie in a few days, but before they set off, a piece of news came.

Qiu Dekao is dead!

Qin Ze was slightly stunned when he heard the news. He knew that Qiu Dekao did not find the way to immortality in the Zhang family's ancient building and died shortly afterwards, but he did not expect it to be so soon.

There was something strange on Hei Xia Zi's face. He remembered the good things they had done before. Could it be that this old guy was angered to death by them?

Hei Xia Zi subconsciously looked in Qin Ze's direction. Qin Ze's face showed undisguised curiosity. He shook his head. This kid probably hasn't realized this yet.

Jie Yuchen's expression was a little strange. He was the first to know about this matter, and he was the one who told Qin Ze.

"You and Hei Xiazi destroyed someone's important location and took away their belongings. When Qiu Dekao heard the news, he was so angry that he collapsed to the ground and died shortly after being sent to the emergency room."

"Logically, the news should have been out a long time ago, but some people, fighting for power, temporarily blocked the news, so we only found out now."

Qin Ze was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it was related to him. Why did he feel a little guilty?

But Qin Ze held onto him and straightened his back. He said disdainfully, "Serves you right. You plotted against others but ended up getting pissed off to death!"

The fat man nodded in agreement, feeling relieved: "Isn't that right? He wants to harm our Xiaoze, but he doesn't even know if he has the ability to do that!"

When Xiaoze and Hei Xia Zi came back, they told Fatty and the others what happened. When Fatty learned that the boxes Qin Ze and the others had collected were filled with contraband, he was completely stunned.

The fat man definitely wouldn't believe that there was no trick and the goods could be transported here safely.

"Now that the old man is dead, who's going to divide up his property?"

Jie Yuchen actually knows something.

"He passed away quite suddenly, and he had no children. Furthermore, there was no designated heir, so his men started fighting over the division of his estate."

"Finally, the foreign woman who had been with Qiu Dekao at Zhang's ancient building got the lion's share."

"Also, Ning took advantage of the chaos to make a lot of money. She and her brother are hiding somewhere now."

Qin Ze nodded. An Ning was a smart and resourceful person. Now with the money she had made during the chaos, as long as she was careful, she would have no problem living a peaceful and stable life with her brother.

"Xiao Ze, the things you designed before have been progressing very quickly recently." Jie Yuchen took out a newspaper. Qin Ze noticed that some people in important positions were exposed for corruption and were dismissed.

The names of several of them were particularly familiar, and as expected, they were their secret enemies.

Qin Ze's lips curled up. "I didn't expect them to act so quickly. I was thinking about whether I should add fuel to the fire before going to Hangzhou to look for Wu Xie again, but now it seems that's not necessary."

Hei Xia Zi picked up a bag of melon seeds and started cracking them. He seemed to have no bones and wanted to lean on Xiao Ze, but was pulled over by the sharp-eyed Zhang Qiling and kicked to the ground.

Hei Xia Zi angrily covered his buttocks that were kicked, patted the footprints on his pants, and sat back on the sofa.

While staring at Zhang Qiling, he picked up the fallen melon seeds and started cracking them.

“Crack, crack.”

The sound of Hei Xia Zi cracking melon seeds was particularly obvious, and combined with his eyes, it seemed as if he was not cracking melon seeds, but Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling pretended not to notice Hei Xia Zi's childish behavior and simply ignored it.

Qin Ze's little head was full of confusion. How could he not pay attention for a moment? What happened to them? Why were they quarreling again?

[Ah, they are truly two centenarians who love and hate each other, tsk tsk tsk…]

As expected, Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi's faces both darkened.

Fatty: “…”

The fat man turned around, trying not to laugh, his body trembling.

Jie Yuchen raised the corner of his lips, expressing his satisfaction with someone's lack of understanding. At least his competitor would not be able to get what he wanted, not to mention that he was now misunderstood.

"Ahem, let's talk about the arrangements before we go to Hangzhou." The fat man quickly changed the subject. He could now feel the weird atmosphere in the air.

"By the way, little brother, if you come with us to look for Wuxie, what about your mother? Should we take her there first at night when there are fewer people around?"

In recent days, even Qin Ze, who was a little slow to react, could clearly feel that more and more people were paying attention to them.

I don’t know if he was sent by the person behind the scenes who tricked them.

Zhang Qiling pondered for a while and said, "Send her there first."

Bai Ma definitely couldn't go with them, as it would be easy for him to be noticed by someone with ulterior motives.

But he couldn't really leave Bai Ma alone in Kyoto, it was too unsafe.

These days, Bai Ma has been staying in the room and not going out. Although some minions want to peek, the effect of Qin Ze's isolation is no joke.

In addition, Zhang Qiling would clean out a wave of little rats in the dark from time to time, and Jie Yuchen also secretly sent some people to keep an eye on them.

Even if someone guessed that the person living inside might be an important person to Zhang Qiling and others, they would not be able to find out anything.
