Upon hearing Li Yidao’s inquiry, Qi Yuqiang nodded gently.
Then, he gestured with his hand as an invitation.
The two of them exited the ward.
Soon, led by Qi Yuqiang, Li Yidao followed him to another area of the facility.
It was evidently a quieter place.
They entered a solitary building.
As Li Yidao stepped inside, he saw an elderly man sipping tea in a tea room.
This person was none other than Elder Liang!
Upon seeing Li Yidao approaching, the corners of the elder’s mouth curved into a slight smile.
“Welcome, please take a seat,” he greeted, as if meeting an old friend.
Li Yidao remained silent and calmly took a seat.
He could sense that this elder was extraordinary.
The man clearly possessed considerable strength.
As for who he was, it needed no further explanation.
He was undoubtedly one of the leaders of Unit 36.
The elder poured Li Yidao a cup of tea and gestured, then smiled faintly, saying, “I’ve heard of Brother Dao’s reputation. Today, I see that it’s well-deserved.”
It was a polite compliment.
Li Yidao responded with a modest smile, “It’s nothing, Sir. It’s just a bit of showmanship. Compared to all of you, there’s still a considerable gap.” Li Yidao certainly didn’t think of himself as the unrivaled top figure.
Even with the Grim Reaper’s Protection, he didn’t believe he was completely without danger.
Who knew if there existed something surpassing the system’s capabilities?
As a start, the elder before him remained inscrutable.
“Hehe, young friend, you’re truly modest. I understand there may be some misunderstandings between us, but as fellow countrymen, we wouldn’t betray our own. So, many times, you can let go of your guard against us,” Elder Liang’s voice was sincere.
Li Yidao raised his teacup, took a sip, and responded with a faint smile.
He thought, “Let go of my guard and trust them? Does everyone think I’m a child?”
In Li Yidao’s eyes, Unit 36 had lost all credibility. While there might be room for some cooperation, trust was out of the question.
Li Yidao was sure!
Unit 36 had indeed harbored intentions of harming him in the past.
Could he trust such an organization?
Perhaps Elder Liang realized the futility of his words. He shook his head and continued, “Anyway, what’s done is done. In the future, we can still collaborate. Also, we don’t know about your relationship with Mr. Fu. Otherwise, some things might not have happened.”
This statement was putting things plainly.
It meant, “Yes, we might have tried to harm you before, even kill you. But that’s in the past. You’ve got nothing on us now, so let it go. Besides, we’re aware that you have someone backing you up.”
Elder Liang didn’t explicitly say it, but there was also a nut out there supporting Li Yidao.
This revelation left Elder Liang and his group quite helpless. They had initially viewed Li Yidao as an ant with no background, easily crushed. Suddenly, they discovered that this ant had an elephant behind it. Not only that, there was also a lone wolf.
Li Yidao remained silent, offering only a slight smile. Then, he steered the conversation in a different direction, “I wonder about the specifics of the current situation. Is the other party… coming after me?”
Li Yidao already had a feeling that this time the adversary seemed to be targeting him! Even if not directly, there should be some connection.
Elder Liang took a sip of tea and looked at Qi Yuqiang beside him. After a nod from Qi Yuqiang, Elder Liang understood the unspoken agreement.
The man on the side brought over some documents.
“These individuals are among the key personnel in this operation.”
“Previously, we only found one of their hideouts in the capital, so we only managed to dismantle part of it.”
“However, through the identities of those we took down, we obtained some information.
“At present, we can’t confirm if these individuals specifically targeted you.”
“But… there should be some connection. They all belong to the same organization, and you’ve inadvertently disrupted their plans twice before.”
“I disrupted their plans?” Li Yidao furrowed his brow. He genuinely didn’t know what good deeds he had spoiled for them.
Qi Yuqiang patiently explained, “Do you remember the time you killed a few people with Li Hui? One of them was their assigned member with an important mission. After you killed him, their mission was completely thwarted. Also, the Myanmar-based streamer you followed recently, your following disrupted another important plan of theirs.”
“So… whether their plan intersected with yours or if they deliberately devised a plan to deal with you, we can’t determine that now.” Li Yidao fell into silence at this point.
The incident with Li Hui was still fresh in his memory.
After all, at that time, he didn’t have the Grim Reaper’s Protection skill. If he hadn’t reacted cleverly and swiftly, he might not be sitting here drinking tea now.
But the streamer from Myanmar he casually followed… To be honest, it was just a coincidence.
When he stumbled upon the person’s video, he received a notification. After using Death Investigation, Li Yidao was thoroughly disturbed by what he found.
This seemingly upright individual had secretly caused the deaths of many people, selling their body parts for profit.
Filled with indignation, he directly sent a Grim Reaper’s follow to the streamer.
After all, with a death probability of only 65%, if the person survived, wouldn’t he continue harming others?
However, he never thought that such an action would lead to a conflict with an overseas organization.
Although Li Yidao had thoughts on the matter, he didn’t show it. Instead, he picked up the materials on the table.
As expected, all of them were individuals from that country!
Clearly, they were members of that organization!
Among them were two with domestic skin tones.
These must be the so-called traitors, right?
“The video data of these individuals is on this tablet. They all have their own accounts on the platform.”
Looking at the tablet handed over by Qi Yuqiang, Li Yidao looked at him deeply.
This was killing with a borrowed knife.
It was pretty obvious that they wanted to eliminate him remotely.
The other party even posted videos on the platform? How could it be such a coincidence?
Li Yidao even suspected that some of these people might not belong to the organization Qi Yuqiang mentioned!
But Li Yidao didn’t mind!
Everyone was just acting!
Moreover!
Since the overseas organization dared to make a move against him!
Then…
He wouldn’t just sit idly by!
At the very least, he could teach them a lesson!
