Chapter 430 Feigning Death
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yan said, "If the person who created us is the one who started this game, then wouldn't I also be an accomplice?"
Meng Qingyin: "How could you be his accomplice? Even if he created you, you have flesh and blood, and your own thoughts. You are you, and he is him. You are completely different individuals!"
Zhang Yan smiled, as if his previous words were just casual remarks. "Of course I know. Okay, let's not talk about this. When I was unconscious just now, I thought you were talking about Lear. Was I dreaming?"
Seeing that he seemed relaxed and hadn't taken those words to heart, Meng Qingyin nodded and said, "It wasn't a dream; we were indeed discussing Lear's matter just now."
Zhang Yan gets angry at the mere mention of Lear. In his eyes, Lear is that man's henchman, colluding with him in evil deeds. "What kind of trouble has Lear gotten himself into this time?"
Meng Qingyin briefly told him about Fang Jie's situation.
Zhang Yan slammed his fist on the table in anger: "That Lear is no good. One day I'll make her watch her plans fail!"
They have absolutely no regard for human life; it's despicable!
but……
"You just said you planned to have Sister Fang fake her death to fool her?" Zhang Yan said. "I think this plan is excellent. Do you need my help?"
Meng Qingyin sighed: "It's probably impossible to fool Lear flawlessly. After all, it's an act, and there are bound to be flaws."
“Then let’s do it for real!” Zhang Yan said, starting to rummage through his all-purpose backpack.
Meng Qingyin was taken aback, then thought of Zhang Yan's abilities. Perhaps Zhang Yan really did have a solution!
Zhao Lan and Fei Qiu had obviously also thought of Zhang Yan's special circumstances, and looked at him with great anticipation.
Zhang Yan lived up to expectations, pulling out a small black pill: "Ta-da! A fake death pill!"
[The Feigned Death Pill: After ingestion, the user enters a state of suspended animation, which cannot be broken by any item. The effect lasts for one hour.]
Fei Qiu couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhang Yan, you're really something! With this fake death pill, we can easily fool Lear!"
Meng Qingyin: "We still need to plan this carefully. Li Er won't be satisfied until he sees Fang Jie die with his own eyes. I'm determined to bring Fang Jie's 'body' to her so she can confirm it. No one knows what Li Er will do then."
Given Lear's character, it's not impossible for him to destroy the evidence.
If Lear really intends to destroy the evidence, then all their efforts will have been in vain.
Zhao Lan nodded in agreement: "That's right. The fake death pill is just the first step. We need to have a comprehensive plan and not put Sister Fang in danger."
Meng Qingyin thought for a moment and then came up with an idea. "Zhao Lan, go and question Li Er right now."
Zhao Lan asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Meng Qingyin: "My plan is this: we'll pretend to have a falling out, you'll question Lear, and I'll..."
She explained her plan to Zhao Lan in detail, and Zhao Lan nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, then we'll proceed according to your plan."
Zhao Lan quickly got into the zone and "angrily" teleported to find Lear.
Meng Qingyin then teleported to Zheng Shi's location and found Sister Fang.
Meng Qingyin didn't hide anything and told Fang Jie her plan directly. Fang Jie hesitated, "Won't this implicate Captain Zhao?"
Meng Qingyin: "No, Fangjie, Li Er's target is you. Zhao Lan will be fine. Our most important thing now is to protect you."
Fang Jie's eyes reddened, and she felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but my life is worthless and I'm not worth all the trouble you've gone to for me."
If she had known she would cause Zhao Lan so much trouble today, she definitely wouldn't have let Zhao Lan save her.
But what's done is done, and there's no use regretting it now.
Zhao Lan treated her very well, and she hoped that Zhao Lan would be safe and well.
Meng Qingyin patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Sister Fang, life is not divided into high and low, noble and lowly. Whose life is not a life? Besides, Zhao Lan sincerely hopes that you will live well."
Fang wiped her eyes, nodded, and said, "I know, I'll do whatever you say."
Meng Qingyin handed her the fake death pill, and Fangjie swallowed it without hesitation.
The next moment, her body went limp, and Meng Qingyin caught her with quick reflexes.
At this moment, Fangjie had no breath or pulse, her body began to feel cold and stiff, and even her portrait turned black.
It looks no different from a dead person.
Anything made in Zhangyan is guaranteed to be of high quality.
Meng Qingyin wasted no time and teleported to Li Er with Fang Jie's "corpse" in her arms.
As fate would have it, Zhao Lan was vehemently questioning Li Er: "Why did you send Mengmeng to kill Fang Jie? I've already sent Fang Jie away as you instructed, so why are you still unwilling to let her go? She's just an ordinary player, what is it that makes you so determined to kill her?"
This was the first time Meng Qingyin realized that Zhao Lan was actually quite capable.
Li Er was extremely annoyed: "Who told you I asked Mengmeng to kill Sun Fang? Did Mengmeng tell you that? That's slander; she's deliberately trying to sow discord between us. You don't actually believe that, do you?"
Mengmeng is so unreliable, she actually told Zhao Lan about this?
But that's okay, as long as she stubbornly refuses to admit it, no one can do anything about it!
A softening expression appeared on Zhao Lan's face, as if she believed her story.
Just as Li Er was about to press on and continue brainwashing Zhao Lan, he heard Meng Qingyin's voice from the side: "Li Er, I've already killed Sun Fang. Don't go back on your promise to me..."
Li Er turned his head stiffly and saw Meng Qingyin carrying Sun Fang's body leisurely walking over.
Meng Qingyin, seemingly unaware of the situation, greeted Zhao Lan warmly: "Oh? Zhao Lan, you're here too..."
Zhao Lan punched Li Er hard in the face, gritting her teeth as she said, "Who exactly is lying to me? You actually instigated Mengmeng to kill Sister Fang!"
Li Er was seeing stars from the punch and was about to speak when Meng Qingyin rushed over like a whirlwind, pulled Zhao Lan aside, and looked at Li Er anxiously: "Are you alright?"
Faced with her concerned gaze, Lear's questions stuck in his throat. Finally, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly uttered two words: "It's nothing."
Seeing that she was alright, Meng Qingyin glared angrily at Zhao Lan: "Zhao Lan, what are you doing?"
Zhao Lan said righteously, "You two are in cahoots, treating human life like dirt, and you still dare to ask me what I'm doing? Mengmeng, I never thought you were this kind of person. You've disappointed me so much."
Meng Qingyin: "You live in an ideal world, Zhao Lan, it's time for you to wake up."
Zhao Lan was extremely disappointed and picked up Sun Fang's "corpse" and walked outside.
Before Li Er could confirm whether Sun Fang was dead or not, he rushed over to check.
