Chapter 229 Island (XI)
Yu Guo's expression was sincere, but Qiao Yuan and others already knew how good she was at disguising herself, so they were reserved about her words.
Qiao Yuan was concerned about another question: "What is your relationship with L?"
From the surface, Yu Guo and Yan Shen don't seem to have any relationship, but when she thought about how Yu Guo had inexplicably wanted to kill her before, apart from the fact that it might be Yu Guo's nature, she couldn't help but wonder if there was any connection between him and Yan Shen.
Qiao Yuan specifically asked the other party L instead of Yan Shen, because he also wanted to know Yu Guo's reaction.
Yu Guo looked at Qiao Yuan. Although she didn't answer, the surprise in her expression had already told Qiao Yuan the answer.
Yu Guo knew about L's existence, which also proved that there was indeed a connection between the two.
Yu Guo also realized that he had failed to control his facial expression just now, so he sighed and said, "Okay, sister, I actually like you very much, so I will tell you the truth as a reward for your teaching me."
"L is my boss."
Sheng Guiye had helped Qiao Yuan investigate before, so he also knew about L. This time, before Song Yanchi and Qiao Yuan could say anything, he spoke first: "Who is L..."
"Sorry, brother-in-law, I can't tell you." Yu Guo interrupted him directly and said helplessly: "After all, I still cherish this job very much."
Song Yanchi felt that familiar feeling of disgust again, frowned and corrected him: "...He has a name, there's no need to call him that."
"And you still have the nerve to call me sister, even though you wanted to kill her before!"
Even though Song Yanchi pointed this out to him, Yu Guo didn't show any guilt. Even the smile on his lips didn't change much: "It's because of work."
"And how could I possibly kill her? I want to say sorry ."
Song Yanchi had already clenched his fists and subconsciously wanted to attack, but Yu Guo spoke up in advance: "Hey, if you attack me, I will hide, it's useless. Besides, we are on a mission now, and our primary goal is to unite and complete the mission."
"Don't worry, I will never do anything to you before this."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and made a swearing gesture.
Song Yanchi could no longer bear it, but Qiao Yuan stopped him directly. Yu Guo was right in one point, their first priority now was to complete the task quickly.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Guiye frowned and thought for a few seconds, then looked at Yu Guo and said, "Fifty million."
Yu Guo obviously didn't understand what Sheng Guiye meant, and subconsciously asked back: "Huh?"
Sheng Guiye: "Buy L's news."
Qiao Yuan realized that Sheng Guiye was going to use his money power.
Yu Guo looked resolute: "I am devoted to our boss, please don't poach me."
Sheng Guiye: "Eighty million..."
Yu Guo frowned slightly, looking a little shaken: "This is not a matter of money. The most important thing in our business is reputation..."
Sheng Guiye: "One hundred million."
Yu Guo gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "Two hundred million."
Sheng Guiye did not bargain: "Deal."
Yu Guo smiled happily: "Okay boss, I'll give you the money with one hand and give you the answer with the other hand."
Song Yanchi: "...Didn't you say that the most important thing in your business is reputation?"
Yu Guo: "That's right, but I just thought about it and I'm already at retirement age."
"Of course, if my former boss is still willing to employ me, he can hire me back."
Sheng Guiye came to participate in the show, so naturally he did not bring any checks or anything like that, but Yu Guo knew that Sheng Guiye had the ability to pay, so he was not in a hurry. He said that he would wait until the task was completed, and Sheng Guiye asked his secretary to deliver his check.
Cheng Mengting and the others were confused and didn't know what the conversation between Qiao Yuan and Yu Guo meant. Even Aunt Zhong and Qin Ning, who were still immersed in sadness, were attracted by the conversation between Qiao Yuan and Yu Guo. They didn't know why Yu Guo kept calling her "sister", but the conversation involved questions like killing or not killing.
Of course, the most important thing is how it turned into an auction. They seemed to have accidentally witnessed a large transaction.
However, the only thing they could be sure of now was that Yu Guo in front of them did not look like a ghost.
[Damn it, Zhao Rulan is actually Yu Guo in disguise, no wonder I always feel like something is wrong]
Come on, you didn’t see it before.
[But Zhao Rulan is dead. I used to love watching her archery competitions with my parents.]
[Speaking of which, the live broadcast room of the game also faked a shot, and Zhao Rulan’s name was actually written on it]
[Maybe Yu Guo asked the system to change his name in advance]
【But what does Qiao Yuan mean by "she" and "L"?】
[I feel like I've heard the name L somewhere before, but I can't remember where it is at the moment]
【I also】
[Wait, this L seems to be a fan that Sister Qiao mentioned before]
[Huh? I have no impression of this.]
[I also remember that it seems to be a fan who sent flowers to Sister Qiao]
[Wait, now that you mention it I remember that this L is Yu Guo’s boss]
[No, it should be the former boss. Please find out the psychological shadow area of L]
[With 200 million, I am willing to call you Boss Sheng]
[Accepting wealthy sponsors and accepting Yu Guo’s early retirement]
Seeing that Qiao Yuan and the others had finally finished the topic, Huo Ling finally spoke up and said, "What about Chen Shi?"
He and Chen Shi were not close, and they didn't even talk much because he didn't like each other's personality. But now that Chen Shi is missing, he also feels a sense of grief.
Yu Guo couldn't wait to speak out: "Let's go find him!"
Perhaps realizing that his rising tone had attracted a lot of attention, Yu Guo quickly added, "After all, he may not be dead yet. What if he is still alive? There is still a glimmer of hope, right?"
In the end, everyone agreed with Yu Guo.
Chen Shi was found in a small forest far away from where they were.
When the few people found Chen Shi, he was not dead yet, but he was almost half dead.
His two ears were torn off, and his throat, chest and abdomen were cut open, so he could only make gasping sounds. Some of the internal organs in his stomach were missing, and his entire lower body was missing.
Because he couldn't hear any sound, Chen Shi didn't notice the players coming until they approached, and he struggled to ask for help.
However, this was of course in vain. After all, not to mention Chen Shi's condition, there would be no chance of rescue even if he was sent to the hospital. Now they had not completed their mission and could not leave the island.
Qin Ning and Xin Min ran to the side and started vomiting.
Although she hated Chen Shi, Cheng Mengting still turned her head away feeling a little reluctant when she saw this scene.
Chen Shi also realized the helplessness of these people from everyone's silence, and his resentful look swept across the people present. Because he couldn't speak, he could only struggle to speak with his mouth.
This seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, because Chen Shi closed his eyes immediately afterwards.
Yu Guo stood aside and translated: "You will all die like me..."
"But we are still alive now? It is you, Mr. Chen, who is about to die. Oh, I forgot that you can no longer hear."
As she spoke, she sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to die."
Qiao Yuan heard the regret in Yu Guo's tone, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.
Although the other party said this, they did not pay any attention to Chen Shi's body. Instead, they turned their heads and said that since they had found Chen Shi and knew his fate, they could leave.
Chen Shi’s death made the atmosphere among the few people even more solemn, but everyone still had to adjust their mood and continue searching.
It was not until the sky began to darken that they returned to Xiaoyu's room and prepared to rest after having dinner.
It is natural to take turns to rest or be on duty.
But even so, accidents still happened.
Qiao Yuan was resting with her eyes closed, but was soon awakened by Cheng Mengting's anxious voice. After she opened her eyes, she saw Cheng Mengting standing by the open door, looking panicked.
After noticing that other people had woken up, Cheng Mengting said anxiously, "Aunt Zhong suddenly ran out!"
She and Aunt Zhong were on night duty, but she didn't expect that after a while, Aunt Zhong suddenly muttered to herself that Uncle Zhong had come back to see her.
But Cheng Mengting knew very well that Uncle Zhong was already dead, so how could he possibly look for her?
At first, she thought that Aunt Zhong was hallucinating because she was too sad about Uncle Zhong's death . After all, Aunt Zhong had said intermittently before that she and Uncle Zhong met when they were young and later got married. They had been through ups and downs together. When they were young, they had no money and spent all their energy on working hard and taking care of their children. Now that their children have finally gone to college, they finally have time.
Taking into consideration that the couple were used to living frugally and were reluctant to spend money on traveling, the son signed up for the elderly after learning about the program. Unexpectedly, they were actually selected.
At that time, Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong were very happy, thinking that they could earn money without spending any money on traveling. However, they didn't expect that it would turn into a nightmare in an instant.
It is normal for Aunt Zhong to not be able to accept Uncle Zhong's death.
Cheng Mengting's luck only lasted until she followed Aunt Zhong's gaze and looked out the window, where she saw a middle-aged man's face reflected in the window.
Cheng Mengting was stunned. She was very familiar with this face. It was Uncle Zhong, whom she had been with before.
But Uncle Zhong’s body is clearly in the kitchen…
Aunt Zhong suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.
Cheng Mengting quickly stood up and called out Aunt Zhong's name, but she turned a deaf ear to her.
The two of them were originally close to the door, so it only took Aunt Zhong a minute to suddenly get up and go out. When the others woke up, they saw the door wide open and the cold wind howling. Aunt Zhong held Uncle Zhong's hand, and the two figures had already disappeared into the darkness.
Fei looked at Qiao Yuan: "Was it a ghost?"
Qiao Yuan nodded. It was obvious that Aunt Zhong was bewitched by the ghost and walked out on her own initiative. Therefore, her fate was obvious.
Qin Ning screamed after realizing what happened, then curled up into a ball, subconsciously calling out "sister's" name.
Xin Min whispered, "We were together just now, but she was still lured away by the ghost..."
Yu Guo said aloud: "Maybe for her, death is also a kind of happiness."
"She's not going to survive anyway, so let's focus on the living and get some rest first."
