Yun Bei did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know where the poison in your body came from?"
"You're not going to tell me that this has anything to do with this human skin mask?" Scorpion looked at Yunbei suspiciously, thinking that he must have been overthinking it.
This poison is poison, what does it have to do with the human skin mask?
But Yunbei's words broke her doubts, and she only uttered four words.
"That's correct."
"How could that be? That's impossible." Scorpion didn't believe it. This was a human skin mask, how could it be poisonous?
Absolutely impossible. Yunbei must be lying to her.
Yes, that must be the case.
Seeing Scorpion's unconvinced expression, Yunbei laughed and said, "This human skin mask is useful, right? But you don't know what was used in its production, and that stuff is poisonous."
"If you only wore it from time to time, or wore it during the day and took it off at night, it would be fine. But because you've taken over Uncle Hu's identity, you're afraid of being discovered, so you have to wear it day and night."
"It's impossible not to sweat if you wear it for a long time, especially when you're working. The more sweat that stuff gets on it, the faster it evaporates. So you'll get poisoned, it's a matter of time."
"If I'm not mistaken, you've been wearing this human skin mask for at least three years, and your discomfort started about a year ago. It's just that the symptoms were mild back then, so you didn't pay much attention. By the time you noticed, it was too late. The poison had already completely penetrated your system. Even if you wanted to detoxify it, it would take a very long time."
"Since you know all this, why don't you help me detoxify?" Scorpion's face turned grim. Yunbei had previously claimed he didn't know the source of the poison, but she knew it, yet she didn't help him. He deserved it.
"Why would I help a spy detoxify? Not only did you kill Uncle Hu, you'll kill more people next time. If I help you, I'll become your accomplice. Do you think I would do such a thing?"
"You?" Scorpion was angry and hateful. If he had known Yun Bei was like this, he would have killed her long ago.
Unfortunately, he didn't know her identity before, nor did he know that she deliberately didn't detoxify him. Otherwise, he would never let her live to this day.
"Okay, now I've cleared up your confusion and proven your identity to everyone. Captain Zhu, you can take the person away."
"Okay, thank you Yunbei." Zhu Biao nodded and took Scorpion away.
The villagers automatically made way for Zhu Biao and his team to take the man away. Some villagers were so angry that they wanted to hit the scorpion with stones. The team leader saw this and shouted, "What are you going to do? Put down the stones."
"Captain, he killed Uncle Hu, so we're just going to let it go like this?"
"Of course not, but he's already been exposed and arrested, and will be punished by the state and the law. Why bother dirtying your hands? Speaking of which, it's also because I, the team leader, didn't know the person well enough. How could I not realize he wasn't Uncle Hu?"
Hearing the captain blaming himself, everyone immediately advised: "Captain, how can this be blamed on you? Aren't we the same? Didn't we realize that he is no longer Uncle Hu?"
"Exactly. If we're talking about fault, we're all guilty. When he stopped letting us go to his house, we should have been suspicious. But we didn't suspect anything and thought Uncle Hu had been offended by something."
"Okay, now that things have come to this, there's no point in blaming ourselves. What we need to do now is to find out where Uncle Hu is buried. If possible, we can help move his grave so that he can be buried with his wife."
"The captain is right. We need to find out more."
Then came the village affairs, which Yunbei did not participate in. She rode her bicycle back to the infirmary and started her day's work.
I don't know if it was because she helped catch the spy or because she exposed his true identity, but it wasn't long before villagers started sending her gifts. Some brought her dried goods, some brought her homegrown vegetables, and some brought her steamed buns from the morning.
Yunbei naturally didn't want to accept it and kept refusing. However, when the villagers saw that she kept refusing, they didn't bother to talk to her anymore and just put the things down and left.
With the capture of the spy chief "Scorpion", all the spies on his list were also apprehended, and their destructive plan was officially declared bankrupt.
Yunbei didn't pay attention to what happened next. She went to work every day as usual. However, Cheng Xiuqin's story spread throughout the family compound.
Because of her, Shitou dropped out of school and Wang Guozhu retired. Everyone had mixed feelings about their family's departure.
Although everyone disliked Granny Stone, and even hated her, they still felt a little uncomfortable when she left because of something like this.
Of course, some people close to Cheng Xiuqin were terrified for several days because of her arrest. Fortunately, although they were called in for questioning, they were released because they knew nothing.
But since then, those people have kept a much lower profile.
After a few days, a rumor suddenly spread in the family compound: Don't offend Yunbei, no matter who you offend. Because anyone who offends her will end badly. Previously, it was the Chu family, and now it's the Wang family.
Both families got into trouble after they offended Yunbei.
This left Yunbei speechless, but she didn't offer any further explanation. She felt that if everyone became afraid of her because of this, it would also be beneficial. At least, no one would dare to bully her anymore, right?
After hearing such rumors, Si Nanzhao was a little angry. He was afraid that everyone would isolate Yunbei, so he wanted to find out the source of the rumors.
But Yunbei stopped her, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Anyway, she didn't plan to have a good relationship with the military wives in the family compound, as long as they were okay.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Si Nanzhao smiled, took Yunbei's hand, and said, "However, what they said does make some sense. Both of these incidents were exposed in advance because of your involvement. Not to mention the one far away, the one in the family compound was exposed thanks to your sharp eyes. Otherwise, she might have escaped this disaster."
Yun Bei thought about it and it seemed so. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "So, I'm pretty good."
"Not just amazing, but extremely amazing." Si Nanzhao finished praising Yunbei, then became a little worried and said to her, "But if this happens, Director Wang will probably assign you tasks more often."
"That's fine. As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll send you there. Anyway, I'm contributing to the country, so it doesn't matter what I do."
"As long as you're happy."
Yunbei played a crucial role in swiftly apprehending all the spies on the Scorpion line, so Director Wang decided to reward her.
