Chapter 216 The Source of Unease
"Don't you remember anything? Elixir? Magic artifacts?"
Rou Yi whispered in my ear.
I looked earnestly into Rou Yi's eyes. "No, I don't have any impression at all. It's as if the things you're talking about never happened."
After answering Rou Yi's question, I saw that everyone else was silent, as if pondering what I had just said. However, I didn't intend to give them much time to think, because I was about to say something else.
This matter was actually my explanation for the "assassination of Strange."
"I know you have doubts about my assassination of Strange, thinking I'm a cruel and bloodthirsty person, but I want to explain," I said, glancing at Dodge, who had been the most emotional but was now much calmer, listening patiently to me. "When I first got this note, I was also hesitant, but after experiencing those few things… my mind changed, and my determination to assassinate Strange and eliminate the Z organization became even firmer."
"What few things?" Fatty, who couldn't contain his emotions, quickly asked.
"When I first came out of the desert, I didn't realize I was being targeted by the Z organization. Later, a series of strange things happened to me… for example, a flowerpot just happened to fall on the road I was about to take, or the car I was in unfortunately encountered a landslide and a car accident, and so on. At first, I thought it was just bad luck, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. How could so many coincidences happen to me?"
I didn't mention the existence of the "unease." If I revealed my unease, they would have more questions and doubts. The most important thing now was not to explain these things to them, but to make them understand the current situation and the crisis we faced.
"Later, after my observation and investigation, I discovered that I was being targeted by the Z organization. They could have ambushed and killed me unexpectedly, which would have been the easiest and most effective way to get rid of me, but they didn't use that method. Instead, they used various means to create 'accidents' to cover up my murder."
Fatty asked anxiously, "Why would the Z organization want to kill you? We clearly reached a consensus with the Z organization. If they were going to deal with you, at the very least, they would have to capture you alive. If the Z organization killed you, we would definitely fall out with them. In that case, if the Z organization wanted to use Xiaoyu… Han Yu and us again, we definitely wouldn't agree."
Mentioning Han Yu, Fatty still showed a bit of timidity. After all, he was now with Jennifer, and Han Yu was a minefield in his relationship with Jennifer.
Fatty secretly glanced at Jennifer, who didn't seem to care about Fatty mentioning Han Yu, so Fatty breathed a sigh of relief.
"Perhaps the reason for creating an accidental death lies in this. If I died in an accident, even if you found out, you wouldn't pursue the Z organization, and Strange could continue to use you in the name of cooperation."
My explanation convinced them, especially Fatty, who nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Fatty asked, "So, they kept attacking you by creating 'accidents' in order to kill you, but how did you avoid them?"
I replied, "The Z organization has many people and they are hidden in the crowd, making it difficult to distinguish them. But I thought of a way. I used the disguise techniques that Rou Yi taught me, changed my appearance, and appeared as someone else, making the Zhao Chenguang I once was disappear completely into the sea of people, and finally escaped their assassination. I used this unnoticed gap to find an opportunity to go to Tianjing, raise some funds, and then disguised myself again and stumbled to America. After that, it was what I told you, I hired someone to create that car accident and distributed a detailed list of the Z organization's high-level personnel to government departments around the world. As for investigating and eradicating the Z organization, it's only a matter of time. I'm very confident that no country would allow the existence and infiltration of such an organization."
Saying this, I felt thirsty again, picked up the orange juice, and drank it all in one gulp. Rou Yi hadn't taken a sip of her orange juice. Seeing that I could drink so much, she pushed her orange juice in front of me.
When it comes to reaction speed, it has to be Rou Yi. Rou Yi was the first to discover the problem in my explanation. She asked, "That's right, Strange died a year ago. After his death, Han Yu took over the Z organization. Han Yu is one of us. Why didn't you go to Han Yu to discuss countermeasures?"
I gave a wry smile. The question Rou Yi was asking now was exactly the key point I was about to make: "Han Yu… that's right, after Han Yu took over the Z organization, the Z organization did stop sending people to assassinate me under the guise of 'accidents'."
"Isn't that great? The threat from Strange is gone, and Han Yu is in charge of the Z organization. What are we still afraid of?" Rou Yi's eyes were full of questions. She didn't understand what I was so worried about after going through such a big circle.
