Chapter 413 Dawn
The poison was researched by Eric and his team. Currently, there is no antidote on the market, and even the antidote they have only has a suppressive effect.
Unless he was particularly suspicious, Eric would generally not let anyone eat this kind of thing.
Mu Yun took the initiative to propose in order to show his sincerity, but Eric couldn't be so careless as to disappoint his loyal minister.
"You've been with us for so many years. If I don't even trust you, who else can I trust?" Eric said, patting Mu Yun's shoulder with a smile, and pinching him twice, slightly increasing the strength in his hands.
"I am willing to offer my unwavering loyalty to the empire until death." Mu Yun raised his head slightly and looked straight at Eric. His eyes were burning and he showed no intention of relaxing.
"This is my choice and what I hope to do for my country."
This attitude of pressing forward completely alleviated Eric's guilt to a certain extent. He smiled and nodded reluctantly.
"Well, since you've been pursuing me so hard, I have no reason not to agree to your request. It's just... you have to think it through."
The obvious polite words did not soften Mu Yun's expression at all. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a hint of sarcasm.
But when Eric wanted to take a closer look, those emotions disappeared without a trace, and he had to suppress his feelings temporarily.
"But this kind of poison isn't readily available. I need to contact people from other departments. Are you... not in a hurry?"
"Of course there's no rush." Mu Yun had already packed his luggage.
Three days passed in a flash, and Mu Yun still did not show up. Huo Jinzhi was not affected at all. Instead, Chen Zhu looked down from time to time with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"As long as Mu Yun relaxes his breath, we can go back together. Instead of losing ourselves in suspicion for the rest of our lives, why not be bolder and find someone to ask for clarification?"
She couldn't help but speak out the issues that were worrying her. Keeping things in her heart was not Chen Zhuyi's style.
Someone like Mu Yun should be looking forward to an answer more than anyone else, right?
"Even if he goes back, ten years have passed and everything has changed." Huo Jinzhi squeezed Chen Zhuyi's hand. Seeing that she was still a little anxious, he grabbed the little hand and held it tighter.
"Even without him, we will get things done safely."
The firm tone in his voice made Chen Zhuyi raise his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything else in the end.
The country has been in turmoil, and the changes in recent years have been particularly great. Even if she revisits her old place, she may not be able to find the places she used to love to go.
What's more, Mu Yun might have been even younger when he came here.
Seeing that Chen Zhuyi's brows gradually relaxed, Huo Jinzhi rubbed him gently. The two of them snuggled up to each other intimately. Just as they were about to say something else, there was a knock on the door.
The two separated quickly. Huo Jinzhi went to open the door and the first person he saw was Huo Qiyun in disguise.
"Everything is ready. Next, as long as you give the order, we can quickly distribute the people to different cabins. However... after these professors disappear, the people in the lighthouse will definitely notice it immediately."
Huo Qiyun turned around and came in, and stated his purpose straight away.
Once things get too big and cause panic, smart people will think about it and figure out what's going on. In this case, what they want to do may not succeed.
"We tried to seek help here, but failed. The professors are missing, so all we have to do is to draw suspicion on us."
Huo Jinzhi had already thought it through.
Chen Zhu will set off with Huo Qiyun's cabin in a while, while he will stay behind to face possible interrogations and look for opportunities to return home.
"Is the sacrifice so great?" Huo Qiyun was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help but ask.
They knew from the beginning that this matter would not end well, but they didn't expect it to be so bad.
"The Lighthouse Country isn't a good place. If you stay here, you're practically courting death. If you die, what will happen to your two children and sister-in-law?"
Although this sounds harsh, it is the dilemma they have to face now.
Huo Qiyun would rather spend more money and go through more trouble to settle the matter than see his brother die here!
"Isn't time what we lack most?" Huo Jinzhi laughed and answered the question from another perspective.
If these professors can return home safely, then with their help, perhaps the relevant industries in the country can develop quickly.
They no longer need to look at others with envy, but instead make a name for themselves!
How many predecessors have been looking forward to this day. Even if Huo Jinzhi really died here, it doesn’t matter. He will definitely watch the Eastern Dragon soar into the world!
Huo Qiyun pursed his lips for a rare moment. Chen did not answer immediately, but his expression was still somewhat dissatisfied. He even looked at Chen Zhuyi for help, indicating that as his wife, she could speak a few words of advice.
However, Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi had already discussed this matter.
Not only will she not persuade him, she will also cherish the opportunity that Huo Jinzhi created with his life and live well!
"You are really going too far. What if grandpa finds out?" Huo Qiyun saw that he couldn't convince the couple, so he could only hold his anger and bring up someone more important.
"These are not things you need to consider. I'm not doomed to die yet, and you're sentencing me first?"
Huo Jinzhi raised his hand and patted Huo Qiyun on the head. He did this action with great skill and composure, as if he had done it thousands of times.
After being beaten, Huo Qiyun had to cover his head and briefly report the situation before leaving in frustration.
Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi no longer spoke those sad words about the spring in Shangqiu. They just seized the last opportunity to hug each other tightly.
Even though they are reluctant, they are all waiting for the dawn from the east!
The next day, when it was light, Chen Zhuyi disguised himself and walked out stealthily.
Mo Cui saw her figure, but he just turned a blind eye and didn't even say hello.
Seeing this, the simultaneous interpreters who had originally doubted Chen Zhuyi's identity immediately gave up the idea of greeting him and went to eat with the team obediently.
Even Mo Cuilin didn't recognize Chen Zhuyi's identity. With their eyes, can they really make a correct identification?
"Come with me, other professors... We have already sent people to pick them up. Sister-in-law, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you next." Huo Qiyun persuaded softly and immediately sent them to the warehouse he had left here.
