"What! Are you crazy? We have no grudges against each other, and you actually fed me poison! You..."
"So, you'd better answer my questions truthfully and don't waste time."
Leng Yun interrupted him calmly, took out a dagger from his waist, and twirled it around his fingertips.
The other party immediately swallowed his words and muttered, "What on earth do you want to ask..."
Most of these people were retained by He Li with money.
There is no so-called reverence for academics or any fearlessness of life and death.
Therefore, it is particularly threatening.
Leng Yun took out a photo from his arms and placed it in front of him.
The room was dim. The old researcher picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. Then his whole body suddenly froze!
"Where did you get this photo?"
He stammered and looked at Leng Yun, shock written in his eyes.
"You don't need to know this. Just tell me everything you know."
Leng Yun moved closer with a dagger.
The man immediately sped up his speech, desperately trying to defend himself, "I...I wasn't involved in what happened back then! If you want revenge, go find the boss! This is between the two of you!"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what happened back then!"
Leng Yun was in no mood to listen to his nonsense and pointed the dagger directly at his neck!
The depressed feeling in my heart seemed to have found an outlet.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
It felt like there was boiling magma burning in my chest.
"then……"
The other party seemed to be frightened and seemed to be recalling something, and did not speak for a long time.
After a long pause, he spoke carefully, "Back then... your father refused to cooperate with the boss, so... the boss... threatened to experiment on you, and your father compromised... But, it seems they didn't really want to stay, they just wanted to delay. Then one night, they tried to sneak you away, but were discovered by the boss's people. To warn others, your father... just..."
"Just what?"
Leng Yun's fingertips trembled slightly.
The other party's voice became smaller and smaller. "Just... kill him, and then your relative was stimulated, and not long after... committed suicide..."
Leng Yun's eyes flickered for a moment, and then the gentle voice of the woman in the video coaxing him to cut the cake suddenly emerged in his mind.
He had no recollection of those things.
Hearing that she left this world in that way, his heart suddenly ached.
"What about me?"
Leng Yun continued to ask questions.
"you?"
The researcher was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was asking and answered, "You... were injured while escaping and remained unconscious with a high fever. You were being held in solitary confinement by the boss's men. Later... your father and mother were both gone, and we thought he would get rid of you, but he kept you and fed you some... a drug they were developing at the time. It erased some of your memory, and when you woke up, you had no memory of anything, and your personality wasn't as lively as before. Maybe... it was the drug's effects."
"Why did he keep me?"
Leng Yun asked again.
But in his mind, he recalled the scene where He Lizeng said condescendingly that he was his savior.
The old researcher didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly swallowed nervously and said hesitantly, "I... I don't know..."
"Hmm? You don't want the antidote anymore?"
Leng Yun's expression became even colder, and he pushed the dagger forward a little more!
"I...I'll tell you! But you have to promise that after you've heard it! Even if you want to settle the score with him, you can't say that I told it!"
"Um."
Leng Yun agreed readily.
The old researcher sighed, thinking that since things had come to this point, there was no point in continuing.
He has made enough money over the years.
The reason they didn't leave was simply because if the things they studied and the experiments they had conducted were made public, these so-called researchers would be criticized by the world.
If only Leng Yun could get rid of him...
They can also take that money and enjoy their old age...
The old researcher pondered and finally said, "He kept you here because he might have resented your father's rebellion. He's a man with a strong desire for control. He once said that since your father is so noble, he would keep you here and make you his accomplice, so that you can watch him continue to research these things with your own eyes..."
Leng Yun suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, as if he had been suddenly punched hard.
accomplice……
No wonder He Li made him learn those boring medical knowledge since he was a child.
But he couldn't learn anything.
For five whole years, there was no progress.
After confirming that he really had no talent in this area, He Li finally gave up and turned to training him in martial arts.
His only job was to lead his men and keep a close eye on those used for experiments and the researchers who were conducting them...
"I...that's all I know..."
The old researcher looked at Leng Yun tremblingly, and tried to negotiate, "Can you... give me the antidote first..."
With a "swish".
Before he could finish his words, a small paper bag appeared before his eyes.
"You'd better not say a word about what happened last night."
Leng Yun left a word and disappeared into the darkness.
Another hour passed—
The lights in the huge villa, which had been turned off, were now lit again.
There was a knock on a door on the top floor.
Not long after, He Li came out with a sullen face.
"It's so late, what..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly froze.
"Leng Yun, why are you back? Didn't I ask you to stay over there to do some work?"
He Li immediately shook off his sleepiness and looked at Leng Yun with displeasure.
"I have something to ask you. Can we go to the study?"
Leng Yunsi was not afraid of him at all and asked calmly.
He Li's eyes flashed for a moment, he looked him up and down, nodded, and walked towards the study.
In the entire villa, Leng Yun was the only one who dared to treat him in this way.
I don’t know if it’s due to the influence of the drugs he took before, but he seems to have never known what happiness, sadness, and fear are since he was a child.
Like a machine without emotions.
Fortunately, he is quite obedient.
But God...
A strange premonition vaguely flashed through He Li's mind, and as he was thinking, he had already arrived at the door of the study.
He pushed the door open and walked in, then asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
"I've been dreaming about being alone a lot lately."
Leng Yun closed the door with his backhand, looked at him straight in the eyes, and continued slowly, "A woman who claimed to be my relative."
As soon as these words came out, He Li's whole body stiffened instantly.
"What did you dream about?"
"Menghe helped me take care of the scrapes, but there's nothing else. So I came to ask you, is there anything you can tell me about the past?"
Leng Yun answered truthfully, but his cold face made it impossible to tell whether he was lying or not.
He Li was already sweating coldly.
