Chapter 166: You’re Going to Die, I Can Save You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[Ding! Super quality customer detected, ID: Qian Qiangyu]

[Death Status Detection: Prolonged exposure to negative energy has led to damage in various aspects of the body. Death probability:100%]

[It is advised that the host should immediately follow the super high-quality customer.]

This was why Li Yidao said that the middle-aged man was in trouble.

A super high-quality customer!

Moreover, the phrase “prolonged exposure to negative energy” implies many things. Li Yidao instinctively wanted to use his investigative skills to find out more.

However, what awaited him was an unknown cause of death!

An unknown cause of death!

By now, Li Yidao knew the system’s behavior very well.

The reason he couldn’t see the customer’s cause of death when investigating was very simple.

It must be related to a special connection between the customer and himself.

To prevent Li Yidao from discovering everything related to him through this method, this limitation was imposed.

Thinking carefully, it seemed reasonable…

While Li Yidao was lost in thought, Wei Wenqiang didn’t immediately enter the room.

Instead, he turned to look at Li Yidao, his expression curious as if he was quite interested in Li Yidao’s identity.

His gaze then returned to Wei Wenqiang, and he asked with a smile, “Mr. Wei, may I inquire about who this is?”

Wei Wenqiang smiled slightly and replied, “This is Mr. Li Yidao, a junior of a friend of mine. He’s here to help with today’s matter.”

He made it clear and emphasized Li Yidao’s status.

Wei Wenqiang had revealed some information over the phone earlier, hinting at possible unusual circumstances regarding the inkstone, so this statement made sense.

“Oh, I see. Heh, Mr. Li is indeed quite accomplished at such a young age. Please, come in,” the man smiled and welcomed them.

With Qian Qiangyu’s courteous gesture, the two of them entered the villa.

Li Yidao noticed that the villa’s interior decor was predominantly dark.

There was very little natural light in the house, with even the curtains drawn over the large windows.

However, the presence of artificial lighting ensured that the house wasn’t dim.

What was unusual, though, was the lack of any household staff in this three -story villa.

This seemed quite unusual.

The three of them took their seats, with Qian Qiangyu being the first to speak. He wore a smile on his face.

“I already understand the purpose of your visit. After Mr. Wei contacted me yesterday, I discussed it with my father. However, regarding the specific details of this inkstone, my father is not very clear. We bought this house from someone else, and the inkstone was already in the second-floor study at that time.”

“Later, when my father renovated the entire house, he found the inkstone to be a nice addition, so he kept it. Until selling it to Mr. Wei, we never encountered any of the peculiar incidents that Mr. Wei mentioned, so…”

The other person shrugged, indicating that he couldn’t be of much help.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room fell into a quiet state. Wei Wenqiang kept his head down without speaking.

Since he had already placed Li Yidao at the forefront, he couldn’t afford to show his discomfort, even if he felt uneasy.

“You don’t know anything? Who are you trying to fool? I’m not a fool!” He vented his anger in the heart.

Li Yidao looked into the other party’s eyes, it was obvious that he was lying!

Not to mention his father, Qian Qiangyu himself must know something!

Li Yidao’s intuition was rarely wrong, and the negative energy around the other person was definitely not simple!

In fact, Qian Qiangyu might be the mastermind behind all this!

The wall clock on the wall swung little by little.

A full minute passed.

Li Yidao calmly said, “You’re going to die.”

His voice was calm, but the words were straightforward!

He didn’t mention the reason for the other person’s death, so the system did not impose a penalty for death.

However…

Upon hearing this sentence, both Qian Qiangyu and Wei Wenqiang turned their gazes toward Li Yidao at the same time.

There was a hint of shock and confusion in Wei Wenqiang’s eyes. He didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Li Yidao’s words.

As for Qian Qiangyu… he continued to smile, his eyes fixed firmly on Li Yidao!

Li Yidao also stared back with a composed expression.

And so they remained, without blinking, for a full minute.

In the end… it was Qian Qiangyu who broke the silence.

“You can tell that?” He continued to observe Li Yidao’s every move and expression.

“Huh… What do you think?” Li Yidao countered.

This time, there was a noticeable change in the other person’s eyes. No longer as calm as before, there was a hint of avoidance and a touch of anxiety?

“Whew…”

Five more minutes passed.

Qian Qiangyu let out a sigh.

“Go ahead, I can’t help with this matter. If you think there’s a problem with that inkstone, just throw it away.”

Clearly, after much contemplation, the other person made a choice.

However…

It wasn’t the choice Li Yidao and the others were hoping for.

“I can save you.”

Li Yidao still looked at the other person calmly.

This sentence was enough to make Qian Qiangyu’s eyes light up with hope.

But…

He still didn’t speak, keeping his head lowered and remaining silent. His attitude was quite clear at this point.

Li Yidao smiled slightly.

Then he stood up directly.

At this point, Wei Wenqiang was getting anxious!

Was he just leaving like this?

What about his grandson?

He instinctively wanted to say something.

At that moment, he happened to see Li Yidao shake his head at him.

In the end, Wei Wenqiang gritted his teeth and, along with Li Yidao, prepared to leave.

However, just as the two were about to walk out of the room, Qian Qiangyu, like a deflated balloon, reluctantly said, “You’ve won, sit back down…”

“I… I’ll tell you the story of this inkstone…”

At the same time, in Jiang City’s First Hospital, outside the high-level single patient room where Wei Wenqiang’s grandson stayed, a nurse was carrying a medicine tray, walking from the far end of the corridor, accompanied by a doctor.

However, this nurse seemed quite nervous, and even her hands holding the medicine tray were trembling.

As for the doctor standing close behind her, he had a very serious expression.

“What are you doing? Didn’t we change the medication just now?” When they arrived at the door, they were stopped by a bodyguard.

The bodyguard had only one job, to intercept anyone attempting to enter the patient’s room!

Absolutely no one was allowed to enter, not even the child’s biological father!

Inside the room, the child’s grandmother was taking care of him.

There was also a bodyguard inside, Wei Wenqiang’s personal bodyguard, who had been with him for ten years and had saved his life multiple times. That’s why Wei Wenqiang had specifically left him to guard his grandson today.

After the nurse was stopped by the bodyguard at the door, she instinctively glanced at the doctor by her side.

In a nervous tone, she explained, “You see, when I was administering the medication just now, I noticed that the patient’s blood pressure wasn’t stable.”

“I went to inform the doctor, and Dr. Wang happened to come with me to take a look.”

“Dr. Wang? Wasn’t the young master’s attending physician Dr. Liu? How did Dr.

Wang get involved?”

At this point, the bodyguard had become quite vigilant.

For them, any unusual situation could be problematic!

Furthermore, he could clearly feel the nurse’s nervousness.

And this Dr. Wang, no matter how you looked at it, he didn’t seem like a real doctor!

The man gave off a very dangerous vibe!

However…

Even though he was already vigilant, he was a step too late!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Continuous, muffled gunshots rang out!

The bodyguard at the door, who was already in an attack stance, couldn’t draw his weapon and lost his ability to fight!

He lay on the ground, unconscious!

The young nurse, witnessing this scene, instinctively wanted to scream!

But she was silenced by the assailant who covered her mouth!

She could only make muffled sounds.

And then…

“Bang! Bang!”

The doctor directly shot her from behind, silencing her completely!

The otherwise quiet hospital corridor was now covered in the strong smell of blood.

The killer in a doctor’s uniform skillfully replaced the spent magazine with a new one from his gun.

With an expression that was cold and detached, he pushed open the door….
