At five o 'clock in the morning, on the balcony of the hotel room, Zhao Yu stood in front of the railing. He looked up at the pitch-black night sky, feeling melancholy.
In his mind, he recalled the things that happened with Xi Mengna on Miracle Island that could not be considered as past events.
After all, he hadn't had much contact with Xi Mengna. Other than passing Green's test with her, he had only exposed Xi Mengna's crime of murdering Jasmine.
He knew clearly that his relationship with Xi Mengna was merely that of a detective and a criminal.
But, why couldn't he get over it tonight?
Was it because of the kiss that she had wanted to punish him on Miracle Island?
Or, was it because he had risked his life to save her from the water?
Or, was it because of the resolute look in her eyes when she had agreed to Yusuf's conditions a few hours ago?
Actually, from the moment she had revealed that look, Zhao Yu had already realized something.
As he wasn't obsessed with Xi Wei's treasury, Zhao Yu was calmer than Long Di and Yusuf when he looked at the problem.
A long time ago, he had been thinking about an important question. Could Xi Wei's treasury have been moved?
After all, Xi Wei had two daughters!
Plus, he had seen both of them, especially when he was with Tina in the House of Sin. He realized that Tina's personality was more like Xi Wei's.
If Xi Wei were to die, Tina would be the head of Xi Wei Group. So, if Xi Wei really had a treasury, she would definitely deal with it.
Later, when Zhao Yu saw Tina being killed by Long Di and turned into a headless female corpse, he naturally assumed that Long Di had gotten all the information about Xi Wei from Tina.
But, unexpectedly, Long Di was still stubbornly looking for clues about Xi Wei's treasury. Everything seemed so illogical.
So, Zhao Yu had reason to suspect that Tina might have confessed, but she hadn't told the whole truth. She had only told Long Di about the two pistols.
Long Di, who had been blinded by hatred, had killed Tina early on. Or, Tina had chosen to commit suicide to prevent Long Di from getting what he wanted.
Of course, this was just a speculation. Zhao Yu couldn't make an accurate judgment.
So, when Zhao Yu was controlled by Yusuf, he looked harmless, but in fact, he was not idle.
First, as soon as he jumped into the helicopter, he stuck one of his mobile phones to the chassis of the helicopter with invisible tape and turned on the camera.
At the same time, he also used a tool called the Duplicate Camera. This way, he could send the images taken by the phone back to his brain in real time.
Then, he did the same thing. When Amerola pulled him onto the plane, he stuck the mini listening device that he had prepared earlier onto Amerola's back.
In this way, he could hear whatever Amelora was hearing in his mind at any time.
Actually, You Sufu was not being careless. His subordinate had been carrying a signal jammer the entire time. Therefore, they were not afraid of Zhao Yu's tracking device at all.
So, they only searched Zhao Yu's weapons and didn't take away all of his belongings.
Plus, Yusuf had already calculated the time. Even if the National Intelligence Department could locate Zhao Yu, they wouldn't be able to stop them in time.
At first, Zhao Yu's plan was to stop You Sufu and his gang.
Although You Sufu had so many subordinates, guns, and Amerola, who was very good at fighting, Zhao Yu had too many tools. Using a few of them would be enough to stop You Sufu and his gang.
But, in the end, he didn't do so. He felt that You Sufu's reason was a little far-fetched. So, he suspected that there was someone more powerful behind You Sufu.
Or, You Sufu really had an affair with Miao Kun …
So, he didn't force himself to do it. Instead, he let You Sufu leave safely. Then, he observed his movements through the cameras and listening devices that he had left behind.
They had a signal jammer, but Zhao Yu had a more powerful signal amplifier, so he didn't have to worry about not receiving the signal.
Also, Xi Mengna's sudden change in attitude had made her agree to cooperate with You Sufu right in front of Zhao Yu. This made Zhao Yu suspicious again.
From Xi Mengna's determined eyes, he understood her intentions. He felt that Xi Mengna's change in attitude was not quite right.
She was so smart. She must have understood that as long as she told the password, she would have no value. So, how could she agree to You Sufu's suggestion so easily?
Could it be that … she had another purpose?
So, Zhao Yu had an ulterior motive when he proposed to kiss Xi Mengna goodbye.
He had wanted to take advantage of the intimate contact with Xi Mengna to use the Invisible Emetic and the Fake Death Medicine on her, so that Xi Mengna would "die" on the spot.
As long as Xi Mengna died, You Sufu would have no more meridians!
Moreover, Zhao Yu had already sensed that Xi Mengna had suicidal tendencies, so he wanted to take the opportunity to save her.
But, at the crucial moment, You Sufu didn't fall for it. He didn't give Zhao Yu a chance to come into contact with Xi Mengna.
At that time, Zhao Yu had a fierce struggle with himself. He only needed an Energy Booster to break free from the ropes and launch a surprise attack.
But, if he did that, he would lose the opportunity to find out who was behind You Sufu, as well as the truth about Xi Wei's vault.
So, in the end, he gave up and watched Xi Mengna leave with You Sufu.
Sigh …
Zhao Yu sighed and felt a little regret in his heart.
Later, when he discovered through the listening device that his guess was correct, that You Sufu had found Xi Wei's vault, which was empty, he realized that Xi Mengna might not be able to survive!
But, by that time, it was too late …
If they had found Xi Wei's vault, then Zhao Yu would definitely have led Li Zhenzhu and Miao Kun to stop them.
But, since the vault was empty, Zhao Yu obviously didn't need to do anything more. Although Xi Wei's vault would forever be a mystery, it was just as he had said. Such an outcome wasn't bad for them!
Moreover, You Sufu had successfully become a scapegoat. Instead of leading people to catch him, Zhao Yu might as well let him go.
From then on, everyone would think that You Sufu had obtained the treasure and information from Xi Wei's vault. Then, they would try their best to kill him!
His days as a tribal chief would be over. From then on, he would have to live a life of exile. He might not even dare to return home …
So, instead of catching him, it would be better to let him down like this …
This was what it meant to be self-inflicted. All the consequences were of You Sufu's own choice.
In Zhao Yu's opinion, whether it was Xi Wei, Long Di, or the tribal chief, they seemed to be smart, but they were all ruined by their obsession.
The three of them originally had the wealth of a country, but they took risks because of their obsession. In the end, not only did they not get anything, but they also ruined everything they had.
