Chapter 344: Finding the Traitor
Ever since he was poisoned, he'd suspected there was a traitor around him. He just had no evidence, but now it seemed like they were losing their patience.
"Mr. Huang! Please note one more thing. Iceberg Snow Lotus is extremely rare. Your poison relies entirely on it as a medicine. Without it, the poison in your body will not last until the next winter." Bai Yangfan's tone was cold and ruthless, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Huang Bairen's heart.
In fact, what the little girl said was not wrong. He would be poisoned and in trouble. It must be a conspiracy by the people around him. If they stopped him from picking the iceberg snow lotus, it would be tantamount to taking his life.
"The person who is looking for the Iceberg Snow Lotus must be one of your own trusted confidants, otherwise, even your Poison King will be unable to do anything."
"I know." Huang Bairen stood up, walked around the living room a few times, and sat down again. "Kid! Do you remember what those two people looked like?"
"One has an Asian face, and the other has some Russian features." Bai Yangfan pretended to think hard, and after a long while, he said, "After walking for a while, I overheard them talking. One of them called the other Liang Kun. I'm not sure if it's the name, but it should be Liang Kun or Yang Kun. Either way, it has the word Kun in it."
Huang Bairen breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Bai Yangfan: "No matter who Kun is, as long as he comes, I will find a way to find him. You are right. I will carefully escort the Iceberg Snow Lotus back. There will be no mistakes."
If something really went wrong, the entire Huang family would be finished.
I couldn't find out who the traitor was around me, but I didn't expect that the girl in front of me would find him out. She is simply my lucky star!
Bai Yangfan did not respond to Huang Bairen's words. He sat for a while and then said that he had something to do at home and went back.
Not long after she left, Huang Bairen's driver came back and reported the situation of the land to him.
Huang Bairen sat there without saying a word, his eyes staring sharply at the man in front of him.
The driver who was staring at him couldn't help but shrink his neck several times and trembled several times.
Why does the gang leader seem so different today? Could it be that he accidentally revealed a flaw? Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. He's been covering it up very well, so there's no way he could have let anything slip.
Just after he finished reporting everything, Huang Bairen spoke up: "Ada! It's you, right? Why?"
This inexplicable question confused the driver Ada, who stared at Huang Bairen blankly, not knowing how to answer the question.
"I remember you came to me when you were twelve years old. I've always treated you like my own son. Why did you betray me?" Huang Bairen's eyes flashed with disappointment. He glared at Ada with deep sorrow. "You want to avenge your father?"
Ada opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it. His hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, and his whole body was trembling.
"I just want to know how my father died." Ada knew that he couldn't get through this hurdle today, so he didn't deny it and asked the question that he wanted to ask most in his heart, "I don't believe my father was killed by another gang. His death is related to you, right?
In gang fights, so many people died, and so many children were left behind. Why do you treat me differently? Why do you keep me by your side? Is it because you feel guilty? Am I right?
Raising his eyelids, Huang Bairen still looked at Ada steadily, and finally nodded: "Yes! I feel guilty about your father."
"Because he took all the blame for you? That fight with the Lily of the Valley Gang fifteen years ago was a complete mistake. To restore your image as the leader among your fellow gang members, you pushed the blame onto my father, making him a disgrace to the gang?
It was you who insisted on starting that fight, and we lost, with many gang members killed or injured. You were afraid of taking responsibility, so you asked my father to take the blame. Is that right?"
When talking about the past, Huang Bairen was excited, his eyes showed a cold and gloomy look, he looked straight ahead and shook his head slowly.
"That's not what you said." His voice was cold and filled with grief and indignation. "I don't know who you heard that from, but regarding your father's death, I swear on my own name that it was not what you think."
"Oh? It's not what I thought? What was it like? Tell me." Anger flashed in Ada's eyes. He really wanted to know what his father had done and why he died.
Huang Bairen closed his eyes, calmed down, and said slowly: "Your father saved my life at the critical moment. If he hadn't blocked the bullet for me, it might have been me who died.
This is why I've always treated you like my son. Your father and I had originally planned to take down the Lily of the Valley Gang in one fell swoop. I never expected your mother to be a spy sent by the Lily of the Valley Gang to infiltrate our gang. That battle resulted in heavy casualties.
The Lily of the Valley Gang knew all our plans. Your father and I sensed something was wrong, but it wasn't until your mother shot at me and your father blocked the shot that we learned that your mother had leaked our plans.
Your father beat your mother to death on the spot, then knelt down and begged me to raise you, taking all the blame on him. Considering you were still young at the time, I didn't disclose the fact that your mother was a spy for the Linglan Gang.
Many elders in the gang knew about this at the time, and we even held a meeting to discuss it. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask. Ada! I just want to know, who sent you to poison me?
Ada didn't hear Huang Bairen's subsequent questions at all. He stood there stupidly, his mind full of scenes of his mother being a spy, beating his father to death, and then being beaten to death by his father, leaving him an orphan.
Later, Huang Bairen took him in and cultivated him as his confidant.
If this is true, then it can only be said that the people who contacted him had bad intentions and made up a false story to fool him, and they succeeded in fooling him.
What was this? He poisoned and killed the people who raised him?
The gang leader dared to let him investigate, which means that what happened at that time was true, and his parents killed each other and died.
And what about him? Was he foolishly used and became an accomplice in the elimination of the gang leader?
With this thought, Ada fell to his knees at Huang Bairen's feet, kowtowed and cried, "Boss! I was wrong, I was so wrong. I was so stupid. I did such a foolish thing without even checking."
Huang Bairen shook his head and said, "I don't blame you. No one would remain indifferent after hearing about the revenge for killing their father. I just want to know, who gave you the poison? When did you poison me?
I heard this poison has an incubation period, so I knew it was someone close to me who did it. Everything I eat and drink is handled by someone close to me. Ada! I suspect everyone except you. I feel like you're like my son, and there's no way you could do that to me."
