Chapter 43 Naked Threat
The curtains were slowly moved aside, revealing a masked man standing in the dark.
A pair of eyes stared at Li Ziyu.
On the mask was a snake pattern that Li Ziyu was very familiar with.
Li Ziyu broke out in a cold sweat on her back. She stepped back subconsciously, her tone still calm, "What on earth do you want to do?"
The man's voice had obviously been deliberately changed, and it was hoarse and almost piercing. "What you are doing now makes the boss very unhappy."
He still stood there, but the silver light that flashed in his hand was his naked threat.
Li Ziyu clenched her hands and said, "We didn't do anything."
The man was playing with a short knife in his hand. "But the case you investigated cost us two of our gang leaders their lives and caused our boss to lose tens of millions."
The silver light shone on Li Ziyu's face, reflecting the fear in her eyes at this moment, which she could hardly hide.
She took a deep breath, "Father Li and Brother Hu?"
The man nodded. "The death of Mr. Li is the most tragic thing for us. Now that you have taken over his company, you should also work for the organization."
Li Ziyu had carefully arranged for Li's father to adopt her because she suspected that Li's father was involved in the organization's activities.
Now this has been confirmed, something she has been waiting for for many years.
She sneered, "I didn't kill him. You should know that very well."
The man did not deny it. "But the source is you and your Captain Deer."
He pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down. "If you hadn't deliberately tried to get close to Li's father and secretly investigated the organization, we wouldn't have hypnotized Li's mother and let her kill Li's father."
"Genius, do you think we don't know what you did?"
Li Ziyu broke out in a cold sweat. She had always lived under the surveillance of the organization, so from the very beginning, Li's mother's incredible revenge was carefully arranged by the organization.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "What about Brother Tiger?"
The man shrugged nonchalantly, "He was an accident."
He went on to say, "You are someone the boss admires. The boss has always wanted you to take over the domestic business. Mr. Li has been living a stable life for too long and is increasingly unwilling to obey the organization's arrangements."
"So when you were eager to learn more about the organization, we sent someone to you and asked Father Li to adopt you."
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed, "Is it exciting? Li the genius?"
The man looked at her sarcastically, "Do you think you are smart and used tricks to get close to Father Li? You underestimate the organization."
Li Ziyu's ears buzzed. She knew that this organization was scary, but she didn't expect them to be so terrifying.
He even spent so much time to accompany her in such a big drama.
She leaned against the bookshelf somewhat helplessly. "This is my own business. It has nothing to do with Lu Bai."
"No, no, no."
The man waved his hands. "She is our biggest bargaining chip, isn't she?"
His eyes were smiling, but like a venomous snake, "Tell me, if she knew about your relationship with the organization, would she still trust you?"
"She knows nothing now and thinks you are the legitimate heir of the Li family."
Li Ziyu snorted coldly, "What does it have to do with you guys?"
The man tilted his head, the tip of the knife resting on the table, "But the Li family is related to the organization, and you are now the heir of the Li family. What do you think she will think?"
He took out a USB drive from his pocket. "It contains evidence of the Li family's dealings with the organization. If this material were to appear on her desk by chance, what do you think she would think of you?"
There were footsteps outside the door.
Li Ziyu straightened his back and said, "Even if she really received it, she will find out the truth."
The man was calm and said, "Li Ziyu, are you gambling on people's hearts?"
He sneered, "Foolish, I'm not afraid to tell you, the reason we found you now is because we found your weakness."
This sentence has three meanings.
One is to tell Li Ziyu that everything she has is under the control of the organization.
The second is to threaten her. If she gambles and wins, Lu Bai will probably disappear forever.
Third, it was to remind her that once she touched the human heart and developed feelings about it, she would no longer be the carefree and indestructible Li Ziyu.
The door was pushed open, and a cool breeze blew into the study, blowing away the several sheets of white paper on the desk.
Li Ziyu glanced to the side and saw Lu Bai walking in with a serious look on his face.
When she turned around again, there was no one behind the desk, only a wide open window.
Lu Bai cursed, "I don't know where that dead guy Zhang Hai ran off to, and Liu Zhengfeng can't be found either."
Li Ziyu was gasping for breath, and it felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She had thought many times about what it would be like to meet the people from the organization again, but she never thought they would be so vicious.
Lu Bai noticed something was wrong with her, and glanced at the window and the messy curtains. "Was someone here just now?"
Li Ziyu closed her eyes. Her thoughts were in a mess and she didn't know what to do.
It was the organization that arranged for Li's father to adopt her. What exactly did the organization want to do?
Why not kill her?
Who is the so-called boss? Why does he admire her? Is he an acquaintance? Or a lunatic?
Who can she trust now?
"Li Ziyu!" Lu Bai took her hand and realized how cold it was. "What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
[And Lu Bai, how should I treat her? ]
Lu Bai frowned, what does this mean?
[But I don't want to push her away just like that. Is there any way to have the best of both worlds? Li Ziyu, Li Ziyu, what on earth are you doing?]
The more Lu Bai listened, the more confused she became. But she didn't have the energy to care about anything else right now. "Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital."
Li Ziyu shook his head, "I'm fine, I have something... to tell you."
She pulled her hand back and sat down on the stool helplessly, "I..."
She hesitated for a moment, her mind filled with the man's words.
Li Ziyu, are you betting on people's hearts?
You have a soft spot.
What do you think she would think?
......
She sighed, but changed her words, "I was adopted by Mr. Li for other purposes."
Lu Bai blinked, "So?"
Li Ziyu looked away and said, "When I was in Florida, my parents died unexpectedly and I became an orphan. I was almost deported back to my country at that time. I had to find a family with enough ability."
"So I approached Mr. Li at an academic exchange meeting and told him about my experience. Mr. Li felt very sympathetic and said he would help me go to school."
She paused, "Of course, he needed me to be his adopted daughter, secretly send the results of my research to his company, and publish it in the name of his company's laboratory..."
This move undoubtedly kicked out all the team members except her, although the main results were still achieved by Li Ziyu.
At that time, the laboratory of Li's father's company was developing a certain psychotropic drug, and Li Ziyu's research direction happened to be the same.
This saved Li's father nearly 200 million yuan in costs, and having such a genius as his adopted daughter was an inestimable fortune.
After Li Ziyu said this, she lowered her eyes.
This was the method Li Ziyu used to get close to Li's father at that time, but now it seems like a joke.
Lu Bai was silent for a moment, "What do you want to say?"
