Xiao Yunting was just three steps behind her, holding a pocket pistol in his palm. The muzzle was black and still emitting residual heat.
Their eyes met.
Ye Lan looked at the pair of deep and bottomless eyes and thought of the questions he asked in the box.
If he had answered at that time, what would the answer be...
At this time, security guards from both sides had surrounded them.
Joseph's men entered the room and looked around carefully. When they saw that the medical team had died in the same way as their boss, their faces turned pale instantly.
The Xiao security guards protected Ye Lan on both sides, their faces full of remorse for not doing their job well.
"Miss, it's our fault. We're not even as fast as a child."
After being reminded by the security captain, Ye Lan looked at the little bean sprout in front of him.
At the critical moment, the kid blocked her way almost at the same time the bullet was fired, but unfortunately he forgot that he was of limited height and blocked the bullet in vain.
Now that she mentioned it, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pat the little head in front of her, "You broke into the private room because you smelled blood, right?"
A child who can survive in the hands of his master needs to find food and identify poisons, and his nose must be sharper than a dog's, so he can smell the same odors as her.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Douya, who had never responded before, as if he didn't understand what people were saying, hesitated for a few seconds and finally nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Lan had a hint of smile in his eyes.
The truth has now come to light, and Xiao Douya has also cleared up his suspicion.
The mermaid was just a mermaid after all. She was attacked by a firearm and was shot dead instantly.
But this did not bring joy.
While the white bodyguards were frantically trying to contact their boss's family and ask Joseph's family to come and collect the bodies as soon as possible, they walked up to Xiao Yunting and Ye Lan, bowed 90 degrees and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless and misunderstood just now. I hope you can forgive me. Also, we need help now. The boss's family is very powerful. If we fail to protect him well this time, we will definitely be punished. But Mr. Xiao, please help us explain that it was this damned mermaid who committed the crime, otherwise we will surely die."
Joseph is from Italy, where the underground organization is world-famous for its bloody brutality, and the bodyguards are already on the blacklist.
"We don't know why that beautiful mermaid eats humans?!"
Speaking of this, the bodyguard was not only wishful thinking, but also puzzled. It was such a beautiful and harmless creature, which looked charming and needed to be protected, so how could it suddenly go crazy?
However, the next second, he heard the calm and indifferent voice of a girl coming from the front.
"When aliens develop intelligence, they become demons. And if they're demons, how can they be harmless? Mermaids, also known as mermen, are skilled at seducing humans with their pupils and singing. They are carnivorous creatures, and their favorite thing is human flesh."
Therefore, the story of the mermaid saving the prince in Western fairy tales is pure nonsense. The prince most likely fell into the water because he was bewitched by the voice of the mermaid, and his fate was to be eaten after falling into the water.
The white bodyguard broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He looked up and saw Ye Lan's face, which was even more delicate than a mermaid's. Thinking of her fearless performance in the face of danger just now, he took a few steps back in fear and bowed to her respectfully again.
"Thank you, we were so stupid before."
Including their boss Joseph, who was bewitched and only wanted to win the beauty, and finally died at the hands of the monster.
Xiao Yunting had business dealings with the Joseph family, so he agreed to meet with their people again.
"Are you familiar with him?"
Ye Lan suddenly turned her head and asked him.
Xiao Yunting paused, knowing that she was referring to his friendship with Joseph, so he simply replied, "Not bad."
It sounds indifferent and seems insignificant.
But Ye Lan knew that given his personality, anyone who could give such an answer must have an important connection with him in terms of friendship or interests.
So after thinking for two seconds, she walked into the room, came to Joseph's body, bent down and lifted the black suit covering him, revealing the face with half of the neck bitten.
"Ms. Ye, you..." The white bodyguard standing by was a little surprised to see her being so rude. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the girl take out a small cloth bag from her pocket, and quickly pulled out several gold needles from it and stabbed Joseph.
The next second, the dead man, whose eyes were wide open and pupils were dilated, closed his eyes automatically, and his chest even rose and fell slightly.
The bodyguard's eyes widened in disbelief, and he couldn't help but put his hand under his boss's nose. When he felt the faint trace of heat, he almost cried out in excitement.
"Not dead! The boss is not dead! That's great."
Great, they don't have to die!
This shout also alarmed the other bodyguards. After seeing that the bleeding from Joseph's wound had stopped, they were all very happy. They bowed and kowtowed to Ye Lan, almost calling him an angel.
"Don't thank me too soon. I just saved his life." Ye Lan didn't take credit for it. After transferring all his Qi, he pulled out the needle and explained calmly, "Mermaids' saliva contains a nerve-paralyzing toxin that can instantly kill a person's vital signs, rendering them unable to struggle and allowing them to feed calmly. Healing your boss's neck injury isn't difficult. The hard part is the poison he's in. I can't make an antidote."
The reason she didn't save the person just now was because there was no antidote. The person would eventually die, and she didn't want to waste her efforts.
"Well, what should we do now?" The white bodyguards were also dumbfounded when they heard this. After all, they had never encountered such a situation before.
Normally, if a person's neck is rotten like this, they will be thrown directly into the morgue when they are sent to the hospital, and there is no chance of saving them.
Now, their only hope is the girl in front of them.
Since Ye Lan has chosen to take action, he will not only consider the beginning but also the end.
"There's only one person who can save him now." She said lightly, turning her head to look at the little bean sprout by the door. "Since you broke in to save him, there's still a chance. If you're willing, I'll bring the Piranha Plant, and you take us to see him."
This was a nonsensical statement and no one at the scene could understand it, except Xiao Douya.
He looked at Joseph who was dying on the ground, then shifted his gaze back to Ye Lan's face. He pursed his lips, and after a while he finally made up his mind and nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Ye Lan raised his lips slightly, and then asked someone to bring the carnivorous plant and let Xiao Douya lead the way to find someone.
Joseph's men put him in the back of a big jeep and followed closely behind the team.
Xiao Douya couldn't speak and was obviously unfamiliar with the environment on the island, so after getting on the bus, he drew a picture with paper and pen.
"This seems to be..." The security captain, who had been to Mysterious Island several times and had a good understanding of the terrain, took a moment to identify the place on the map. "The cinema on the top floor of the Arena Building."
"Jiaodou Tower?" It was the first time Ye Lan heard of this place.
The security captain adjusted his direction while explaining, "The Arena is the busiest place on Mysterious Island, besides the annual auction. It's where the most powerful fighters from around the world gather to compete. There are 188 floors in total, and the higher the floor, the higher the level, and the corresponding prize money is larger."
