Chapter 425 Bait, Sacrifice



After the bodyguard at the door signed for the cake and sent Fang Wu away, he took the cake and went into the villa.

"Boss, here's your cake."

"Put it down."

"OK."

Xu Jiazhen sat at home, with a beautiful woman and a four-year-old child sitting opposite him.

The beautiful woman looked worried: "Recently, several senior executives in the company have died unexpectedly one after another. This... can't be a coincidence, can it?"

"Heh, someone wants to bring down the company, so they're resorting to underhanded tactics. But over the years, many people have tried to bring down the company." Xu Jiazhen said confidently, "They will fail."

"Then you should be careful too," the beautiful woman said worriedly.

"Don't worry," Xu Jiazhen narrowed his eyes. "It's best they're here, hehe..."

The meal lasted until late at night.

Xu Jiazhen returned to the bedroom, while his wife went to take a shower first.

Xu Jiazhen drank some red wine today and felt a bit hot. He took off his tie, and the dizziness made him feel very uncomfortable.

strangeness......

He didn't drink too much today...

Xu Jiazhen immediately became alert.

He realized that the problem wasn't with the wine, but with the cake!

As the manager of the Harbin branch of the gene company, he was not stupid.

On the contrary, he is a very cautious person.

With the recent spate of unexpected deaths among senior executives at the gene company, Xu Jiazhen was well aware that someone was definitely trying to bring down the company!

Logically speaking, the cake should have been inspected outside the door.

Could it have been inspected and then switched?

Xu Jiazhen thought to himself that someone must have already sneaked into his villa by now.

However, he didn't panic at all; instead, he smiled to himself.

It seems those people really did come...

He opened the system panel and sent a message to someone in the chat list.

[Xu Jiazhen: They've taken the bait; they should be in my villa right now.]

Anonymous: Hmm.

[Xu Jiazhen: So... what should I do?]

[Anonymous: You don't need to do anything.]

Xu Jiazhen: Okay, then I'll leave it to you.

Xu Jiazhen smiled inwardly and closed the chat panel.

He was just bait.

His job as bait was done.

Since a large net has already been laid out here, Xu Jiazhen is not worried about his safety at all. He just needs to wait for the other party to make a move and walk into the trap.

With that thought in mind, Xu Jiazhen unbuttoned his clothes and lay down on the bed peacefully.

"call......"

At night, a gentle breeze blows in through the window, causing the curtains to sway softly.

A faint floral fragrance drifted into the room on the breeze.

Xu Jiazhen felt increasingly dizzy.

My body is too weak to exert any strength...

"Shuashuashua..."

Several figures silently slipped into his room.

He slightly opened his eyes and saw several figures already standing in front of him.

'Body......'

'Can't move...'

Xu Jiazhen felt that he was now only conscious, and he could barely open his eyes a crack, but his body was completely unable to move!

It's that cake from before!

In a hazy vision, Xu Jiazhen saw a young man with silver-gray eyes who seemed to be exerting mental control over him.

It is the Eye of the Gray Nether.

This person is clearly Lin Nai!

It must have been that cake, combined with the illusion, that rendered his body completely immobile.

Xu Jiazhen couldn't understand why the people responsible for the ambush hadn't made a move yet, since Lin Nai had already shown up.

What are we waiting for?

Hurry up and grab him!

Time passed second by second...

Five seconds... ten seconds... thirty seconds... one minute...

Xu Jiazhen could feel his life slipping away bit by bit.

'What happened?!'

Xu Jiazhen finally sensed that something was wrong.

What about the ambush that person arranged?

Xu Jiazhen forced himself to stay conscious and opened the system panel.

[Xu Jiazhen: Where are you all?!]

[Xu Jiazhen: Lin Nai has shown up! Grab him quickly!]

A few seconds later, the other party replied.

However, the reply he received was...

[Anonymous: Your task has been successfully completed; the company will remember you.]

[Xu Jiazhen: You... what do you mean?!]

[Anonymous: Your mission was to act as bait. Now that your mission is complete, you can go in peace.]

[Xu Jiazhen: ?!]

[Xu Jiazhen: What the hell are you talking about?!]

[Xu Jiazhen: What exactly do you mean?!?]

[Anonymous: Zheng Longhai is trying to lure me, the undercover agent, into a trap through this mission.]

[Anonymous: If I capture Linnaeus now, I'll be completely exposed.]

[Anonymous: So, you have to die. If you die, their mission will be a success, and I'll be cleared of all charges.]

[Xu Jiazhen: !!!]

Xu Jiazhen's eyes widened.

asshole! ! !

You actually used me as a scapegoat to clear your name!

"Ah ...
