She didn't understand. As the Minister of Finance, Liu Ming was in charge of too many resources of the Empire.
He had made all the necessary preparations before coming here tonight.
Before the assassination, Liu Ming had taken a large amount of nourishing medicines.
These medicines all had severe side effects. They might even cause his power to decrease.
However, he didn't care. The side effects would slowly become apparent in the future.
As for him, he no longer had a future.
Apart from that, the dagger in his hand was no ordinary weapon.
This dagger was called Ghost Demon.
Apart from its sharpness, it also had a lethal poison that could kill Seventh Grade monsters and injure Eighth Grade monsters.
Even a Seventh Grade expert couldn't resist such a lethal poison.
The poison had already entered Wu Yeji's body.
Clang!
Clang! Another clash. Wu Yeji was forced back.
She gasped for air and felt that something was wrong.
Today, she seemed to be more tired than usual!
What was going on? Had she exhausted too much of her stamina during the night's cultivation?
Just as Wu Yeji was wondering, a strong sense of dizziness appeared in her mind.
This dizziness made it impossible for her to see clearly. She couldn't even stabilize her body.
"Die!"
While Wu Yeji was hesitating, Liu Ming's dagger was already stabbing toward her eyeball.
This attack could not be avoided, nor could it be blocked!
"Ugh!" Wu Yeji's body erupted with powerful energy.
Under such circumstances, only an energy explosion could save her.
Even if the energy explosion would destroy all her previous concealment, she had no other choice.
Exposure was always better than death.
At the last moment, Wu Yeji's body suddenly tightened.
Because in her line of sight, a person who shouldn't have appeared appeared, Lv Luo!
Her lifeless eyes naturally attracted Liu Ming's attention, but at this time, Liu Ming's arrow was already nocked.
He didn't think that anyone would come looking for Wu Yeji at this hour.
Was she here for a rendezvous in the middle of the night?
"Don't try to trick me!"
The dagger stopped in front of Wu Yeji. They were only a few millimeters apart, but Liu Ming's body couldn't take another step forward.
"What?"
A strong arm grabbed his foot. What was this strength?
Liu Ming felt his body being pulled out, and then he fell heavily to the ground.
Boom!
However, Liu Ming felt as if his body was about to shatter from this strike alone. His opponent's physical strength was probably several times stronger than his!
"Follow me!"
Lü Luo grabbed Liu Ming and flew out of the city.
Today, he came here to talk to Wu Yeji about cooperation, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation. Fortunately, he helped Wu Yeji out.
"Okay!" Wu Yeji didn't waste any more time.
The appearance of Lü Luo at this time had already given her a huge psychological impact.
Naturally, he would not reject Lü Luo's invitation.
At this moment, Liu Ming was completely entangled by Lü Luo's tentacles.
In a sneak attack, Lü Luo's powerful strength and Sequence were fully displayed.
Even a Seventh Grade expert wouldn't be able to break free at this point.
But during the flight, Lü Luo frowned.
Because … he was being attacked by a deadly poison.
[Powerful poison is corroding your body. Your Physique has reduced some of the poison damage. Your Poison Resistance has reduced some of the poison damage.
Your Faithless has reduced some of the poison damage. You are immune to the poison effect.]
This poison shocked Lü Luo.
He already had extremely high poison resistance, but the poison effect of the opponent's poison could continuously break through his Physique and Poison Resistance.
It was only stopped by the Faithless's effect.
With his physique, the intensity of the poison was already beyond his imagination.
Lv Luo turned around and looked at Wu Yeji's bleeding thigh. He felt a little annoyed.
"This is troublesome."
Wu Yeji heard Lü Luo's words, but she didn't understand what he meant.
"What's wrong? You don't have to worry too much about this level of injury. I can handle it. "
"You're so stupid. You don't even know your own condition."
"My condition?"
"You're poisoned. A very deep poison."
"Poisoned? But I don't feel anything! "
"You'll probably be dead by the time you feel anything."
Lü Luo knew that poisons that could take effect against Seventh Grade powerhouses wouldn't be so strong and fast.
Seventh Grade powerhouses were too powerful. If a poison was too fast, it would be intercepted by the energy of Seventh Grade powerhouses.
That wouldn't result in killing the enemy.
However, if it was a slow-acting poison, it might be able to fool the energy protection and kill the enemy.
Liu Ming's poison had such an effect.
His body was already covered in poison. It didn't matter if he attacked Wu Yeji or she attacked him.
In fact, it was the same process of poisoning.
His breath and blood had all been corroded by the poison.
This time, he had come with the determination to die.
"Is it very scary?"
"Yes. I'm afraid your current condition isn't very good."
"Then what should I do?"
Wu Yeji chose to believe Lü Luo. Under such circumstances, Lü Luo had no reason to lie to her.
As for Lü Luo and Liu Ming working together to lie to her, it was impossible.
"Let's go to a safe place first."
Wu Yeji was just about to nod when the strong dizziness from before struck her again.
This time, she really couldn't stand properly.
"What's going on?!"
Due to the effects of the poison, she immediately fainted.
Lü Luo had no choice but to grab Wu Yeji and return to the Inspection Department overnight!
…
An operation was in progress in the Inspection Department.
"What's going on?"
Wu Yi, who had just put on her clothes, hurried to Lü Luo's room.
Lü Luo glanced at Wu Yi and gestured for her to put on the gas mask.
"Put on the mask. The environment here isn't very safe."
"Okay."
Wu Yi was very obedient. She knew that Lü Luo was definitely authoritative in terms of strength.
When she put on the mask, she immediately saw the woman lying on the operating table.
Wu Yeji!
This existence that had been tormenting her for the past few days, the hidden Seventh Grade powerhouse, was lying in front of her on the operating table just like that.
And she looked very bad. She could die at any time.
Lü Luo pointed at Liu Ming, who was trapped by the tentacles.
"This should be the Minister of Finance, Liu Ming. He did it."
"Liu Ming?" Wu Yi turned her head and saw that Liu Ming's whole body had turned black, and he was breathing out black fog.
This fog was all highly toxic, but fortunately, most of it was absorbed by Lü Luo's Devourer.
Lü Luo could devour poison, but not all of it.
Some of the poison still spread out. This was why he asked Wu Yi to wear the mask.
"This guy tried to assassinate Wu Yeji, and I happened to see it.
If I hadn't come at the right time, I'm afraid our cooperation would have been ruined. "
Lü Luo didn't really mean what he said. As a woman he had just met, Lü Luo still cared about Wu Yeji.
This woman was really hot.
Although she was very ambitious, Lü Luo was already very satisfied as a woman.
After all, his wife and children were in the villa, which was too far away.
It was naturally the best thing that could be solved biologically.
"What do we do now?"
"You didn't tell anyone else, right?"
"No, only I know about this. Even Zhang Zhe doesn't know about this."
"Okay, help me. This woman still needs to be saved."
"Okay!"
Next, Lü Luo began to bleed Wu Yeji. Then, he pierced a few small tentacles into Wu Yeji's body while performing the surgery.
The tentacles could devour poison. This was the fastest and most effective way.
Next, there were three steps: blood transfusion, bleeding, and detoxification.
Although it sounded simple, Wu Yi and Lu Luo were busy all the way until morning before they finally finished.
"Phew, finally."
"She's safe?"
Although Wu Yi was a little hostile to Wu Yeji, she was still very tempted by Lü Luo's cooperation.
Now that they had saved her, the success rate of the cooperation would undoubtedly increase greatly.
This was a good thing for her and the entire team.
"Yes, she's safe. She should wake up in two days."
Lü Luo threw away his gloves and turned to Liu Ming.
This Minister of Finance had already turned into a Poison Man through and through.
The poison had corroded his brain, body, and even his energy.
In this state, Lü Luo did not think that he could get anything out of him.
Moreover, there was no need to ask too much. Liu Ming's goal was very simple. He wanted revenge.
Therefore, Lü Luo cleanly broke his neck.
Crack!
Then, Lü Luo ignited a handful of Death Flame and began to burn Liu Ming's body.
"Lü Luo, don't we need to continue the investigation?"
"Of course we have to investigate the disappearance of the Minister of Finance. After all, it's an important case of the Empire."
"Huh? Missing? "
"What? Isn't the Minister of Finance missing?
We haven't seen him. How would we know where he went? "
Seeing Lü Luo's calm expression, Wu Yi finally nodded.
"Yes, he's missing. Next, it's time for the Investigation Department to collect evidence.
… …
In the next few days, Lü Luo's days were very busy.
He needed to quickly understand the situation of the Imperial Family, the difference between the factions in the bureaucracy, and the identity of the apostle hiding in the Imperial Family!
Unfortunately, he had no clue at all.
The Imperial Family did not seem to be in danger.
They were always entangled with power, the throne, and their future.
Lü Luo did not know what to say. He could not communicate with these people, not even Wu Yi.
Wu Yi was only Sixth Grade. It was meaningless to tell her about the apostle.
The only person he could communicate with was Wu Yeji.
She might be a spy, but she was the best way for him to find the truth.
"Lü Luo, Wu Yeji is awake."
"Is she awake? Alright, I'll be there in a bit."
Lü Luo put down the book in his hand and changed into the black uniform of the Investigation Department. He then walked to Wu Yeji's private ward.
… …
"She's awake!"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Wu Yeji's attitude was not very good. At least, it was not the kind of attitude one should have towards a savior.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a bad mood?" Lü Luo was not angry. Instead, he took out an apple and started peeling it in front of Wu Yeji.
Wu Yeji thought that Lü Luo was going to get her some fruit. Her mood instantly improved.
"I brought all of this upon myself.
If I could control my emotions, I wouldn't have gone to the bar. If I didn't go to the bar, I wouldn't have met Liu Qi.
If I didn't meet Liu Qi, there wouldn't have been any conflicts, and Liu Qi wouldn't have died.
If Liu Qi didn't die, there wouldn't have been such a huge commotion in society, and Liu Ming wouldn't have tried to assassinate him.
So, it's all your fault, Lü Luo! "
"Good girl, your logic sounds reasonable. I was almost convinced by you."
"Hmph, if you didn't sleep with me and then pull me off the bed, I wouldn't be angry.
Now, I've been missing for so many days. Someone will definitely suspect me. "
Wu Yeji's expression was a little stern. It was obvious that she was really angry.
Although Lv Luo had saved her, the debt of saving her life was not enough to appease her anger.
That was how women were. That was another matter.
"You don't have to worry about that. Wu Yi has already taken care of it for you. He said that you want to experience life in the Investigation Department for a few days.
We even photoshopped some photos for you. Mm, it's pretty good. It's real at first glance. "
Wu Yeji pouted and did not say anything else.
She was very tired, but her Seventh-Grade Physique could still allow her to recover some energy in a short period of time.
Lü Luo finished peeling the apple in his hand after he finished speaking.
He took the apple, put it into his mouth, and ate it in big bites.
However, Wu Yeji glared at him when she saw that.
"Lü Luo, you?"
"What about me?" Lü Luo took another bite of the apple. The fruits here were quite fresh.
"You're a bastard. Get lost!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I still have a lot of business to talk to you about.
You can't quit now.
Oh, by the way, the apples here are quite delicious. I'll take some with me. "
Lü Luo took half of the apple as a matter of course. Wu Yeji was furious.
But she could not say it out loud. Could she tell Lü Luo that she was angry because Lü Luo did not peel the apple for her?
That would be too embarrassing.
"Say it. What's the matter? Get lost."
"Mm, there is indeed something very important.
Wu Yi wants to work with you. "
"Hmm?"
Wu Yeji's expression turned serious. Wu Yi's invitation … was quite interesting!
She looked at Lü Luo and smiled.
"It seems that I'm quite attractive to you!"
"No, it's mainly because you two can indeed complement each other.
As for you, you can probably give this cooperation an additional 2 points. "
"The full score is 10 points?"
"The full score is 100," Lü Luo said honestly.
"Hmph!" Wu Yeji was not satisfied with this answer, but she was still interested in Wu Yi's invitation.
Such an invitation was very valuable, at least for her.
