Chapter 235 Waiting for opportunity
Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "The person who poisoned her clearly had it premeditated, and there's probably someone behind him."
"Yeah, I feel that way too."
Lin Wanqing nodded. "That scar could very well be an important clue. We have to find out."
"Well, I'll have someone check it out."
Lu Shengyuan said, turning to look at Lin Wanqing, "Wanqing, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter."
"Well, I believe you."
Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan with a smile on her face.
She knew that Lu Shengyuan was a trustworthy person.
In the following days, Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing kept looking for the person who poisoned them, but they didn't find any useful clues.
That scar is like a knot that cannot be untied.
As time passed, Lin Wanqing couldn't help feeling anxious.
She always had a premonition that the person who poisoned them was still watching them secretly, waiting for the next opportunity.
Thinking of this, she decided to check it out herself.
She wanted to go to the place the stall owner mentioned and see if she could find any clues.
So she told Lu Shengyuan her thoughts.
"No, it's too dangerous."
Lu Shengyuan refused without a second thought, "You can't go alone, I'll go with you."
"No, I can just go by myself."
Lin Wanqing shook her head. "You have other things to deal with. I can handle it alone."
"No, I'm worried about you."
Lu Shengyuan said, standing up, "I'll go with you."
"Ok."
Seeing Lu Shengyuan's insistence, Lin Wanqing had no choice but to nod.
So, the two of them left the inn together and walked towards the place the stall owner mentioned.
It was a remote alley and few people passed by.
Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan observed as they walked, but found nothing unusual.
Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the darkness, holding a shining knife in its hand, and stabbed straight at Lu Shengyuan.
"careful!"
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing shouted loudly.
Lu Shengyuan reacted extremely quickly and dodged the man's attack by turning sideways.
Then he kicked the man's knee, and with a "click", the man fell to the ground.
"what!"
The man screamed in pain and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
Lu Shengyuan stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and asked coldly, "Tell me, who are you? Why did you want to assassinate me?"
"I... I don't know. I just take money from people and help them get rid of disasters." The man said with a pale face and a trembling voice.
"Take money from others? Eliminate disasters for others?"
Lu Shengyuan frowned when he heard this, "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
The man shook his head. "I'm just a killer, just following orders."
"Orders from above? Which organization do you belong to?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing walked forward and asked.
"Organization? I don't know what you're talking about."
The man's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look into Lin Wanqing's eyes.
"do not know?"
Lu Shengyuan sneered, "I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin."
As he spoke, he grabbed the man's wrist and said in a tone as sharp as a knife, "Tell me, who ordered you to do this? If you don't, I have a hundred ways to make you speak."
The man was overwhelmed by Lu Shengyuan's aura and trembled all over.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "It was a masked man. He gave me some money and asked me to kill you two."
"The masked man? What does he look like?"
Lin Wanqing asked.
"I couldn't see him clearly because he had his face covered."
The man shook his head. "He just asked me to wait for you here so he could take advantage of the opportunity."
"Can't you see him clearly?"
Lu Shengyuan frowned, "What about his height and build? Are there any special features?"
"No, he's normal, nothing special."
The man thought for a moment and said.
"normal?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned even more tightly. It seemed that they had met their match.
"Wanqing, it seems that this matter is more complicated than we thought."
Lu Shengyuan turned to look at Lin Wanqing, a solemn look on his face.
"Yeah, I feel that way too."
Lin Wanqing nodded. "That masked man clearly had this plan, and there's probably a huge organization behind him."
"Yes, we have to be careful."
Lu Shengyuan said, turning to look at the killer, "Tell me, what else did the masked man confess?"
"No, he just asked me to kill you two, and didn't say anything else."
The killer said in a trembling voice.
"ok, I get it."
Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan loosened the killer's collar and said, "Go away, and don't let me see you again."
"thanks, thanks."
Upon hearing this, the killer felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly got up from the ground and limped away.
Looking at the killer's leaving back, Lin Wanqing couldn't help but frown.
"Lu Shengyuan, are we just going to let him go like this? What if he..."
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare."
Lu Shengyuan interrupted Lin Wanqing, "Besides, our current enemy is not the killer, but the masked man and the organization behind him."
"Well, you're right."
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing nodded, "Then what should we do now?"
"Let's go back to the inn first. We need to think about this matter carefully."
Lu Shengyuan said this and turned to walk towards the inn.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked in silence all the way and soon returned to the inn.
After returning to the inn, Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan sat at the table, lost in thought.
"Lu Shengyuan, what exactly is the organization behind that masked man? Why did they want to assassinate us?"
Lin Wanqing broke the silence first and asked.
"Well, I'm not sure about that either."
Lu Shengyuan shook his head. "However, judging from what the killer said, the masked men should be organized, and their target is likely us."
"But we just arrived here not long ago and haven't offended anyone."
Lin Wanqing said in confusion.
"Perhaps, their target is not us, but me."
As Lu Shengyuan spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You? You mean the reason for your coming here?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing immediately understood what Lu Shengyuan meant.
"Yes, I came here to investigate something. Perhaps those people didn't want me to investigate further, so they sent someone to assassinate me."
Lu Shengyuan nodded and said in a deep voice.
"What should we do then? Should we tell the authorities?"
Lin Wanqing asked.
"No, the government is unreliable."
Lu Shengyuan shook his head. "Besides, this matter involves a wide range of people. We can't act rashly."
