Xu Le stood up, but he didn't stand well and fell back down. He didn't want to stay any longer; he wanted to leave, but his legs were weak.
What did he see?
The stone statue at the front yard entrance. He had seen it on the Huaxia Dragon Group's wanted list. It was Suzuki Yo! Exactly the same!
The expression on the stone statue was one of utter terror. It was clear that before death, he had witnessed something incredibly horrifying. It was lifelike, not something carved. It must be Suzuki Yo!
No wonder Lin Hao said last night that during the large-scale search, they only caught five or six assassins from this operation, but two were missing: Tokugawa Nakaji and the leader, Suzuki Yo.
According to other confessions, Tokugawa Nakaji and Suzuki Yo had vanished without a trace. Their mission was not complete. So, does that mean Tokugawa Nakaji and Suzuki Yo are dead? And this stone statue is Suzuki Yo?
"I don't want to turn into a stone. I want to leave here," Xu Le muttered to himself, sitting on the lawn. He was clearly terrified.
At this moment, Qin Lan and Qin Xianglian noticed something was wrong and looked over. They were confused. Why was Xu Le sitting on the lawn?
While everyone's attention was on Xu Le, Ling Yun quickly placed the balls of fire in his hands onto more than twenty skewers of grilled meat. He was becoming more and more skilled, and soon the skewers were done, smelling just as delicious!
"My fire is a bit stronger here. The meat is ready, Qianqian, come quickly," Ling Yun beckoned to Qianqian.
"Daddy, I want some. Are all of these for Qianqian?"
Before Ling Yun could speak, Lin Yueyan protested, "No, no, how can Qianqian have so much? Your little tummy can't hold it all. You'll get chubby if you eat any more."
"Cousin is mean! Qianqian won't talk to you anymore," the little girl pouted and turned away, upset that she had called her chubby.
"Qianqian, these aren't all for you. Look, there are still so many people who haven't eaten. Qianqian is a good girl, you can't be greedy, can you? Take some to share with them."
"Baby just wants to share one skewer with them, and with Mommy, and Grandma!" She started counting on her fingers.
"Cousin, hurry up and grill. You can't just stand there," Lin Yueyan said, handing dozens more skewers of meat to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun placed the skewers on the grill, then turned and walked towards the living room. When he came out again, he was holding a cup of tea.
"Brother, you must be thirsty. Have a drink. It'll be very helpful for you right now," Ling Yun said as he walked up to Xu Le and gentlemanly offered him a cup of tea.
He had noticed Xu Le's strangeness earlier and knew that Xu Le had guessed most of the truth. It didn't matter if he knew; Ling Yun shrugged indifferently. However, Xu Le was a guest, so he might as well help him.
"Brother, I don't want to drink it. Please let me go. I'm only 24 years old and I don't even have a wife yet."
Xu Le's voice trembled. There must be poison in this. He's trying to silence me. No, I can't drink it. I need to leave.
But Xu Le couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried. This man was right beside him. With the psychological pressure, how could he possibly stand up?
"Miss, please take me away from here quickly. I don't want to die. I don't want to turn into a stone," Xu Le could only beg Long Yanran for help.
Long Yanran was completely baffled. What was going on? Turn into a stone? Die?
Xu Le was fine just a moment ago. Why was he like this after seeing Ling Yun? Was he going crazy?
Seeing Long Yanran's dazed expression, Xu Le panicked again. This must be some kind of sorcery used by that man. No, it's too terrifying.
"Xu Le, drink it. He's not a bad person," Qin Xianglian also felt that Ling Yun wouldn't give Xu Le a cup of tea for no reason.
"Yes, yes, little brother. Yun Ge already offered it to you. You should politely accept it," Gao Feifei couldn't stand it anymore. Why was this little brother so hesitant?
"Young man, drink it. This tea is very good for your nerves. It's best for you in your current condition," Lin Qiuyan remembered drinking this tea herself yesterday. After drinking it, she felt refreshed, and the effect was immediate.
