Chapter 487 Escape
A man who could be described as being in a very disheveled state appeared. He was dirty and looked no different from a beggar. The tone of his voice was also very strange. Fortunately, Mu Yun could hear some of it.
His eyelids twitched violently, and he reached out and pulled the woman out.
There were tears in her blue eyes, and her hair was messy like a chicken coop. She didn't look like a young lady at all. Most peasant women were cleaner than her.
"Why are you here?" Mu Yun looked at Aretha and finally asked what he wanted to know.
"I escaped, but someone pointed out the dog hole to me, so I was able to get in. They said the person I was looking for was right there."
Aretha had a sad face. She took a few steps back and kept some distance from the others.
God is my witness, she has never been so miserable in her life. She dressed herself up worse than a homeless person!
"Hurry up and take me to wash and pack up. I have something very important to tell you. Don't take me back!"
She looked at Mu Yun with a strange look in her eyes and gave him a weak warning.
Fortunately, Mu Yun was also very clear that they were now probably grasshoppers on the same rope, so he took her in without hesitation.
When Mrs. Wen saw such a strange face, she almost lost her senses. There was a hint of disgust in her eyes, and she covered her nose.
Zhaodi and Jinhua were eager to try, and obviously wanted to take the opportunity to talk to her, but they felt embarrassed, so they held back.
"I want to take a shower!" Aretha asked Mu Yun.
After his translation, Mrs. Wen understood what he meant and took people over. She also picked out some of Jinhua's clothes and gave them to her. They were all Dacron floral shirts, which looked out of place on Aretha.
However, she is good-looking and looks good in whatever she wears. Aretha just stands there so charmingly, her snow-white skin makes people unable to move away, and she has an aura that anyone with a discerning eye can tell is not an ordinary person.
After Mu Yun's explanation, they also knew Aretha's identity. Now they could only watch helplessly. After a pause, Jinhua greeted her in a slightly clumsy English.
They have only learned a little bit, and it doesn’t mean they can use it so soon!
However, the two smart academic masters had confidence here. After getting over the initial discomfort, communicating with Aretha gradually became smooth.
Huo Jinzhi did not return until the evening. He received some news along the way. In order to ensure its accuracy, he went to check it out in person, which delayed him for quite a while.
After seeing Aretha, he frowned and asked, "Why did you choose to escape?"
Even if Eric is the one in power now, Aretha is one of the people in charge. Why would she be driven away in disgrace?
"I don't want to go along with them, Mu Yun, why haven't you died yet?"
Aretha answered Huo Jinzhi perfunctorily, then stared straight at Mu Yun.
She knew very well the effects of the poison. If someone else came, it would be impossible for them to communicate with her now.
Through her observations this afternoon, she concluded that Mu Yun was not only alive, but also appeared to be completely unaffected by the poison. This shouldn't be the case!
"I'm lucky, the poison didn't take my life." Mu Yun didn't know whether he should say it or not, so he spoke vaguely.
"Impossible. Whatever you eat is a stable poison. Even we haven't found a true antidote. We can only delay the onset of the poison."
Aretha flatly denied it, clenched her fingers into fists, and took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind.
"If the time comes when the poison can no longer be delayed, we will kill them immediately to ensure that word does not leak out."
These are already considered secrets.
Mu Yun was stunned. He thought of those predecessors who were waiting to return with great anticipation, and some tasks that no one could complete alive.
It turns out that it’s not that no one can complete it alive, but that someone doesn’t need them to be alive, depriving them of the possibility of completing it.
Because he himself had experienced the pain of poisoning, he understood more deeply the kind of pain that was felt.
Under such circumstances, being able to carry out normal activities is a luxury, let alone completing missions!
"So, it was you who set up this trap on purpose and killed so many people?" Mu Yun's voice broke a little. He anxiously grabbed Aretha's shoulders and shook them several times. There was even a hint of tears in his voice.
"Do you know that every one of them wants to devote his life to the country?"
Such a truth is too cruel for a man who is loyal to his country.
It’s not that they can’t die, but they can’t die in such an unclear way at the hands of the person they trust the most!
Aretha felt as if her shoulder blades were about to be broken. She subconsciously struggled with dissatisfaction in her eyes, but when she saw Mu Yun's red eyes, she didn't know what to say.
It's them who are sorry to the brothers who risked their lives and gave everything.
There are many secrets in the country that must never be exposed, and only the dead can completely protect the secrets.
"They are even waiting to return home to recuperate in old age. They have used their lives to carve out a future for you, and are willing to endure the insults."
Every word Mu Yun said was filled with doubt, and he suddenly felt extremely confused.
If the trust of the organization is poison wrapped in honey from the beginning, then is there any reason for them to be new members?
Aretha could only purse her lips and remain silent. In her heart, she naturally didn't want things to turn out like this.
But with so many important things, who would dare to gamble?
"Well, I don't have much to say. If you think you are righteous, then go ahead and follow the path you envision."
Mu Yun went straight to the bathroom and let the cold water pour down on her, only then could she suppress the anger in her heart.
Otherwise, he didn't know how many crazy things he would have done.
"It's really sad to hear these things. If your country had some people willing to stick to their principles, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Huo Jinzhi is also a person who has dedicated himself to the country, and he can only feel grateful in his heart.
I am fortunate to live in such a good country. Even if I look back at history, the meritorious officials will not die with a dirty life. Their achievements and reputation will be passed down through the ages.
Aretha knew that Huo Jinzhi was just complaining casually, but she still felt like something was blocking her chest and she couldn't breathe.
"You came here on your own initiative. What are your plans?" Huo Jinzhi signaled Wen Pozi, Zhaodi and others to leave first. After making sure that the surroundings were quiet, he asked directly.
If she had no other options, she wouldn't have fled so decisively and even come to me on her own initiative.
"I want someone who has the power to make the decision to talk to me." Aretha made the request without hesitation.
