Xu Le stood up, but failed to steady himself and fell back down. He did not want to stay here anymore and wanted to leave, but the problem was that his legs had gone soft.
What had he just seen?
The stone statue at the front courtyard gate was one he had seen on the Huaxia Dragon Group wanted posters—it was Suzuki Yo! Exactly the same!
That stone statue's expression was so terrified, showing just how horrifying a sight he must have witnessed before death. It was so lifelike that it was definitely not carved; it simply had to be Suzuki Yo!
No wonder Lin Hao had said during the massive sweep last night that only five or six assassins from this operation had been caught, leaving just two missing: Tokugawa Nakaji and the ringleader Suzuki Yo.
According to the confessions of the others, both Tokugawa Nakaji and Suzuki Yo had vanished without a trace, yet their mission was unfinished. That meant Tokugawa Nakaji and Suzuki Yo were dead, and this stone statue was Suzuki Yo?
"I don't want to turn into stone, I want to leave this place." Sitting on the lawn, Xu Le muttered to himself, clearly frightened out of his wits.
At that moment, Qin Lan and Qin Xianglian noticed something was wrong over here and looked over, completely baffled. Why was Xu Le sitting on the lawn?
Taking advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to Xu Le, Ling Yun hurriedly applied balls of fire from his hand to over twenty skewers of meat. Growing increasingly adept at it, he finished grilling them in no time, and the aroma was just as authentic!
"The fire on my side is a bit fiercer, and the barbecue is ready. Qianqian, come over here quickly." Ling Yun waved at Qianqian.
"Daddy, I want some. Are all of these for Qianqian?"
Before Ling Yun could even speak, Lin Yueyan protested, "No, no, how can Qianqian have so many? Your little belly won't be able to hold all that. Eat any more and you'll turn into a chubby girl, oh."
"Great-aunt is mean, Qianqian is not talking to you anymore." The little one pouted, turned her head away, and refused to pay attention to her for saying she would become a chubby girl.
"Qianqian, these aren't all for you, you know. Look at how many people still haven't eaten yet. Qianqian is a good girl, so you can't be a little greedy and keep it all to yourself, right? Take these and share them with them."
"Baby just wanted to share a skewer with them, and also Godmommy, and M-o-m-m-y." She even started counting on her fingers.
"Cousin, hurry up and grill. You can't just stand around." Lin Yueyan said as she handed another dozens of meat skewers to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun placed the meat skewers on the grill, turned around to walk toward the living room, and when he came out from inside once more, he held an extra cup of tea in his hand.
"Brother, have a cup if you're thirsty. It'll do you a lot of good right now," Ling Yun walked over to the side of Xu Le and said politely as he handed him a cup of tea.
He had already noticed Xu Le's abnormality and knew that he had guessed most of the truth. Knowing what he knew, he just shrugged it off as no big deal; but Xu Le was a guest no matter what, so he might as well help him out a bit.
"Brother, I'm not drinking it. Spare me, please. I'm only twenty-four years old and don't even have a wife yet."
Xu Le was shaking as he spoke. There had to be poison in this thing, and the man was going to silence him. No, he couldn't drink it; he had to leave.
Yet no matter how hard Xu Le tried, he couldn't stand up. With this man standing right beside him, how could he possibly manage to stand up under the psychological pressure?
"Eldest Miss, hurry and take me away from here! I don't want to die, I don't want to turn into stone!" Xu Le could only turn to Long Yanran for help.
Long Yanran wore a blank look. What was going on? What turning into stone? What dying or not dying?
This Xu Le had been fine just a moment ago, and only ended up like this after seeing Ling Yun. Had he gone crazy?
Seeing Long Yanran daze, Xu Le panicked even more. This definitely had to be some sorcery used by this man—no, it was 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.
"Yeah, yeah, little brother, Brother Yun already handed it to you, so you should at least take it politely." Gao Feifei couldn't bear watching anymore. Why was this little brother so indecisive?
"Young man, drink it. This tea is fantastic for the mind. Your current condition is best suited for drinking it." Lin Qiuyan still remembered drinking this kind of tea yesterday. After drinking it, she had been full of vitality, and the effects had been immediate.
