Chapter 629 is too exaggerated.
After all that commotion, the dwarf chef was completely unconscious. However, because he had a Gu worm inside him, he was still alive, just in shock due to excessive blood loss, and would wake up soon.
The sky gradually darkened.
When Zhou Zhou regained consciousness, she smelled a strong stench of blood.
The lights were off in the room.
Zhou Zhou was startled and jumped out of bed almost reflexively.
"That's a bit of an exaggeration."
Jiang Nian's voice rang out in the dark room, making Zhou Zhou's heart leap into his throat.
Such a strong smell of blood, could it be that Jiang Nian is injured?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou's face turned extremely ugly. If something happened to Jiang Nian here, he would definitely be held responsible.
He practically lunged to the bedside and turned on the bedside lamp.
The dim yellow light came on.
Zhou Zhou saw Jiang Nian sitting on the single sofa by the window, still wearing the clothes he wore during the day. Only the cuffs of his dark blue clothes were stained with a little blood, and the strong smell of blood wasn't coming from him.
Zhou Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least Jiang Nian is alright, so I can live a good life.
If it's not Jiang Nian's blood, then where is this strong smell of blood coming from?
With a puzzled look, Zhou Zhou clearly saw a person lying vaguely at the foot of the bed. The carpet beneath the person seemed to be soaked in blood, emitting a strong fishy smell.
Zhou Zhou jumped off the bed and rushed to the foot of the bed, only then realizing that the person lying in a pool of blood was the chef of this villa.
"What...what's wrong with him?"
Pointing to the dwarf chef lying in a pool of blood, Zhou Zhou's voice stammered.
They were both people who lived on the edge, but for some reason, Jiang Nian's appearance gave Zhou Zhou a strange feeling, as if their roles had been reversed—it seemed that Jiang Nian was the one who was living on the edge.
"He dared to use poison on me, and I spared his life. I think I've been very merciful."
Touching his chin, Jiang Nian felt that Zhou Zhou seemed to have gone mad after a nap. In this villa, the only person who would dare to poison every dish was the chef. Surely he couldn't just let the chef get away with it?
Zhou Zhou was speechless for a moment after hearing Jiang Nian's words. After all, what Jiang Nian said didn't seem to be wrong.
The dwarf chef used a Gu poison on Jiang Nian. Similarly, even though the Gu poison didn't affect him much when he ate with Jiang Nian, it was still a Gu poison!
"Alright, if you're awake, sit up. Stop pretending to be dead."
Jiang Nian glanced impatiently at the dwarf chef still lying on the ground and said with displeasure.
Zhou Zhou looked at Jiang Nian with a puzzled expression.
He could feel that the dwarf chef lying on the ground was breathing very lightly, almost inaudibly. Jiang Nian's words seemed a bit excessive.
Ignoring Zhou Zhou's disapproving gaze, Jiang Nian's eyes remained fixed on the dwarf chef.
Seeing that the other person was still lying there motionless, Jiang Nian frowned deeply.
Looking around, Jiang Nian was surprised to find a bundle of rope in the corner of Zhou Zhou's room.
Although it's unclear why Zhou Zhou would leave such a strange thing as a rope in the room, it's obvious that this rope is a good thing for Jiang Nian.
Zhou Zhou watched in utter shock what happened next, speechless. He had intended to stop her, but when he saw Jiang Nian glaring fiercely at him, Zhou Zhou couldn't help but shudder.
He finally remembered—his and Jiang Nian's identities had changed drastically. He was merely a follower of Jiang Nian; it was Jiang Nian who had saved him.
So Zhou Zhou pressed herself against the wall, trying to minimize her presence.
He watched helplessly as Jiang Nian picked up a rope, tied up the dwarf chef's body, and then lifted him up and threw him out the window.
"Splash—" The sound was the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
Zhou Zhou then remembered that his room window overlooked the villa's large swimming pool. Although he and Jiang Nian hadn't planned on enjoying it, they had made all the necessary preparations. And now, the dwarf chef had been roughly thrown into the pool by Jiang Nian.
"Cough, cough—"
A violent coughing fit erupted as the dwarf chef struggled to surface from the pool and looked up at Jiang Nian standing by the window.
Jiang Nian stared blankly at the dwarf chef, seemingly lost in thought.
With his hands and feet tightly bound, the dwarf chef barely managed to float to the surface before sinking back into the water.
After repeating this several times, Jiang Nian seemed to find the game too boring, and finally took pity on him and pulled the dwarf chef out of the pool.
Just as Jiang Nian was pulling the rope, and the dwarf chef's body was less than a meter away from the window, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
The bullet struck the rope precisely, and the rope snapped. The dwarf chef's body plummeted downwards, plunging back into the water, the splash nearly hitting Jiang Nian's face.
With a gloomy face, Jiang Nian looked in the direction from which the bullets had come.
"Someone has fired a shot at the three o'clock position to the right, about 200 meters away!"
The system immediately reported Jiang Nian's exact location.
Ignoring the system's words, Jiang Nian's gaze fell on the swimming pool below.
The dwarf chef, whose belly was filled with water, was now floating.
Is there any way to save this person?
With a cold expression, Jiang Nian asked the system.
"He was beyond saving, but with this system here, even if he's taken by the Grim Reaper, this system can bring him back!"
The system's proud words brought a faint smile to Jiang Nian's lips.
He turned over and jumped directly into the pool.
Jiang Nian brought the dwarf chef back into the fold.
They repeatedly and gently pressed on his chest, and it took a long time to expel the water that the dwarf chef had been forced to drink.
In just a short while, Zhou Zhou came down.
He certainly heard the gunshot earlier and knew that the dwarf chef had died after falling into the pool.
Even though Jiang Nian had squeezed all the water out of the other person's body, the dwarf chef still didn't react at all—he clearly looked like he had stopped breathing.
Seeing Jiang Nian's gloomy face, Zhou Zhou dared not speak, for fear of offending Jiang Nian.
"Bring him to my room."
After finishing everything, in a corner where no one could see, Jiang Nian stuffed a pill into the dwarf chef's mouth, then turned around and coldly instructed Zhou Zhou.
The dwarf chef's clothes had fallen into the swimming pool, and the blood had seeped into them. The white chef's uniform had turned pale pink, and the previously strong smell of blood had disappeared.
The moment Zhou Zhou crouched down and carried the dwarf chef on his back, he felt the other man's breathing—it was extremely steady, not at all like someone who had just fallen into the water and was about to die.
Zhou Zhou stared in shock at Jiang Nian's retreating figure.
His intuition was absolutely correct.
The dwarf chef had clearly stopped breathing before, so how come he's suddenly become stable now?
What exactly did Jiang Nian do?
After carrying the dwarf chef into Jiang Nian's room, before Zhou Zhou could even speak, Jiang Nian left with the following words:
"Take good care of him, don't let him die now."
After saying that, Jiang Nian jumped out of the window.
By the time Zhou Zhou caught up, he could no longer see anything. With the system helping to conceal his presence, Jiang Nian's escape from the villa was much easier.
This area is full of villas that are all built in a similar way. The only difference is that after Jiang Nian moved into this villa, he found that the lights in the villas on both sides of the street had never been turned on, and it looked like no one lived there at all.
Although their identities are special and they should naturally be extra careful about their safety while living here, their current state is a bit too exaggerated.
The system had already provided the exact location, so after leaving his villa, Jiang Nian went straight to that location without hesitation.
The house was pitch black, without a single light. After climbing over the wall and entering, by the starlight, Jiang Nian could see that the yard was completely overgrown with weeds, and it didn't look like anyone lived there at all.
As I entered the courtyard, a breeze blew by, and insects chirped softly in the grass.
The front door of the house was locked.
Jiang Nian could clearly see that the lock was rusted beyond repair.
No one has been to this house in a long time.
The location provided by the system cannot be wrong.
"Host, you're trespassing!"
With a loud "bang," Jiang Nian kicked the door open.
Just now, it seemed like the system said something, but Jiang Nian said he didn't hear what it said.
What did you just say?
As the host, Jiang Nian felt that he respected the system quite a bit, which is why he asked with such concern after kicking open the door.
"..."
Looking at the door that had been kicked open, the system realized that what it had just said was completely pointless.
"No, the system didn't say anything. Host, please keep up the good work!"
Ultimately, the system simply said this earnestly, encouraging its host.
Jiang Nian nodded in satisfaction. He had been right; his system had stood by him in the crucial moment.
After the door was kicked open, a cloud of dust billowed out.
This house seems to have been uninhabited for a long time.
Jiang Nian casually took out a small flashlight, turned it on, and walked step by step into the dark villa.
The dust on the ground was very thick.
Under the flashlight beam, Jiang Nian saw a particularly clear footprint—extending from the direction of the kitchen and disappearing at the end of the stairs on the second floor.
With a cold smile playing on his lips, Jiang Nian glanced in the direction of the kitchen before slowly walking up the stairs, following the footprints.
On the second floor, the door to a room was wide open. A gust of wind blew through, causing the door to rattle and make a dull thud.
The footprints that Jiang Nian had been following led into this room.
On the balcony, the curtains fluttered, making the footprints appear messy.
The gun has been taken away.
Standing on the balcony, quietly looking at the spot where he had just thrown the dwarf chef, Jiang Nian's cold smile became even more pronounced.
"Host, what are you laughing at?"
The system sensed its host was becoming increasingly mysterious. Shouldn't it be furious at this point? Why was it laughing? Although it was just a cold laugh.
"You're a system, don't you even know why I'm laughing?"
Jiang Nian did not answer the system's question, but instead asked it back with a light laugh.
System's inner monologue: This system is just an emotionless system, okay?! How could it possibly know why the host is laughing? Is the host stupid? Otherwise, why would it ask such a moronic question?
Of course, Jiang Nian could never know the system's inner monologue.
So the system remained silent.
After standing there in the cold wind for a while, Jiang Nian finally turned around and prepared to go back.
Just as he turned around, he seemed to kick something.
Squatting down, Jiang Nian picked up the thing she had accidentally kicked.
This is the magazine on a sniper rifle.
Jiang Nian might not recognize other magazines, but he clearly recognized this one.
The latest sniper rifle from Country Y, after being modified with the perfect blueprints provided by the system provided by Jiang Nian, has a slight change in its magazine. Of course, most people probably wouldn't even notice this detail.
Perhaps the sniper sent by the other side was not skilled enough; otherwise, there would have been no way that the magazine would have fallen.
Unfortunately, the truth is now clear—the person who attacked Jiang Nian and used the Gu poison was someone from within the Shadow Organization.
Jiang Nian learned from An Yang that although the modified sniper rifle had been put into production, only five had actually been made so far.
Now, a sniper rifle has appeared here, and it's pointed at him.
Haha, wouldn't it be too ridiculous to say that out loud!
Gripping the magazine tightly, Jiang Nian left the villa.
Zhou Zhou and the others stayed in the room, keeping an eye out for any potential attacks while also watching over the dwarf chef to ensure he was alright and would wake up.
Previously, someone shot and broke the rope, causing the dwarf chef to fall into the swimming pool.
If you wanted to kill the dwarf chef, you could have just shot him. Why did you only cut the rope?
It's unlikely that a sniper would make a mistake in targeting.
Regardless, this dwarf chef must know a lot of information.
When Jiang Nian returned, Zhou Zhou was still lost in her own thoughts.
He was seriously considering who in the organization wanted Jiang Nian dead. No, the other party didn't intend to kill Jiang Nian; they just wanted to control her.
When Jiang Nian joined the Shadow Organization, several leaders considered using Gu poison to control him. However, Jiang Nian's identity was too special; if they used Gu on him, it might anger China, which would be a greater loss than gain.
At the very least, given the Shadow Organization's current strength, it wouldn't gain much advantage if it really clashed with China.
Clearly, there was another group of people within the organization who disagreed with the person in charge, so they took action after Jiang Nian left the base.
Who on earth is it?
"Do you know who owns the five improved sniper rifles produced by Country Y?"
Back in his room, Jiang Nian sat on the sofa and asked Zhou Zhou directly.
"Could it be that the person who just fired the shot used one of those newly made sniper rifles?"
Jiang Nian wouldn't ask this question without a reason, so Zhou Zhou almost immediately jumped up from the sofa, staring at him in shock and disbelief. (End of Chapter)
