Li Qianfan had been staying in the town of Las for nearly two days and three nights.
In the past fifty-odd hours, neither Jiao Yin nor Murong Mingyuan had been allowed into the warm room to see him.
Zhai Xing and Zhai Yue had been guarding him day and night, without rest.
No one was allowed into the warm room except for Li Xingtang.
Every meal Li Qianfan had was also personally prepared by the sisters.
Although their attitude towards Murong Mingyuan was cold, it could be considered professional.
But towards Jiao Yin—
Zhai Xing and Zhai Yue were as nasty as they could be to the culprit who caused Young Master Li's high fever.
Let alone letting Jiao Yin into the warm room, even if she got within three meters of the door, Zhai Xing and Zhai Yue would glare at her with the utmost disgust.
"With his medical skills, even if he injured himself with evil energy, it's unlikely he would have a fever for so long."
Standing in the courtyard, Jiao Yin looked up at the falling snow and a thought suddenly struck her: "The person lying in the warm room isn't Li Qianfan!?"
The three presidents of the dark web were indeed presidents.
Li Qianfan had estimated that Jiao Yin would discover the ruse at the latest around 72 hours.
Therefore, after he went to England, he told Yao Yao and the others that he would quietly return to the town of Las within 72 hours, regardless of whether he could wreak havoc on the Rhodes family.
If he was late—
Jiao Yin would become suspicious!
Once she became suspicious, she would find ways to test if the "patient" was Li Qianfan.
Although Li Xingtang, Zhai Xing, and Zhai Yue were there, they could collectively resist the three presidents of the dark web.
But if that happened, it would mean Li Qianfan was no longer in the town of Las.
Especially when news of the Rhodes family being massacred by Bai Du Niao spread, with Jiao Yin's intelligence, she would immediately guess that Li Qianfan was Bai Du Niao.
She would then recall the scene in the suicide forest at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, where Bai Du Niao mercilessly confronted the big tree.
In that case—
Jiao Yin, realizing she had been played by Li Qianfan, would be enraged and furious, leading to a massacre!!
If that happened, even if Li Xingtang and the others could jointly repel her, they would pay a heavy price.
The key was.
Jiao Yin would only flee after a massacre.
Without her guidance, how could Li Qianfan infiltrate the outer defenses of the Blackwater Forest?
It was a secondary issue that he couldn't infiltrate the defenses and thus couldn't lift the siege of the Blackwater Forest.
Jiao Yin would definitely report to the Chief President that Li Qianfan was Bai Du Niao, who massacred the Rhodes family.
The Chief President would then immediately inform the Rhodes family.
The Rhodes family, having suffered a massacre, would undoubtedly order the Blackwater Forest to torture the captives by any means necessary.
In short—
Li Qianfan absolutely could not let Jiao Yin know that he was Bai Du Niao.
He had to return to the town of Las before Jiao Yin became suspicious.
Li Qianfan truly did not expect that Jiao Yin's suspicion would be much greater than he had imagined.
In less than sixty hours, Jiao Yin became suspicious.
"If the Li Qianfan in the warm room now is not Li Qianfan, then where has the real Li Qianfan gone?"
Jiao Yin's eyes flickered, and she secretly glanced at the warm room before walking out of the courtyard as if nothing had happened, leisurely and unhurriedly.
From a distance, two disciples of the disciplinary hall followed her, protecting (monitoring) her.
She was used to it.
She walked out of the town and took out her phone.
She had to report her newly arisen suspicion to the Chief President.
Buzz buzz buzz.
Her phone vibrated before she could even dial.
Jiao Yin was startled and looked down. It was indeed the Chief President she wanted to contact.
Beep—
The moment Jiao Yin answered the call, their communication frequency switched to anti-hacker eavesdropping mode.
"President Jiao."
The Chief President's voice was urgent: "Latest news, Bai Du Niao has massacred the Rhodes family's lair in England! Thirty-eight people, including nine core elders, were slaughtered by Bai Du Niao."
What!?
Jiao Yin, standing gracefully against the wind, trembled upon hearing the news.
Although she had no personal ties to anyone in the Rhodes family,
Even when the dark web was pressured by the Rhodes family, Jiao Yin would curse that they would be massacred by Bai Du Niao.
Yet, upon hearing this news, Jiao Yin was still greatly shocked.
A thought quickly surfaced in her mind, and she urgently asked, "When did Bai Du Niao massacre the Rhodes family?"
Her question was crucial and important.
It took about 12 hours to fly from the town of Las to England.
If Bai Du Niao massacred the Rhodes family half an hour or an hour ago, then if Bai Du Niao were truly Li Qianfan, he wouldn't have had time to return.
And Jiao Yin had already decided to test Li Qianfan after the call.
The Chief President replied, "Forty minutes ago!"
Forty minutes ago?
Jiao Yin nodded and asked, "Did Bai Du Niao upload a video after massacring the Rhodes family?"
The Chief President replied, "No. But Bai Du Niao left the symbol of their bird on the wall at the scene of the massacre. After the massacre, the Rhodes family must have wanted to seal the news. But someone accidentally leaked it."
The Rhodes family was no ordinary family.
After suffering such a disaster, they would undoubtedly issue a gag order and seal the news immediately.
After emergency consultations, they would choose the most appropriate time to announce it to the world and strongly condemn Bai Du Niao.
Yet, the news had leaked prematurely, reaching the Chief President of the dark web.
Jiao Yin understood: "You are calling me now because you suspect Bai Du Niao might be Li Qianfan?"
"Yes."
The Chief President replied, "Even though he is a good-for-nothing and has almost no possibility of defeating you, the timing of his illness and his stay in the town of Las is too coincidental. The key is, he wouldn't let you visit him."
"You are absolutely right."
Jiao Yin said, "In fact, I have also started to suspect that the Li Qianfan who is currently ill has a problem. But I never thought he would use the trick of a golden cicada shedding its shell, slip away from under my nose, and go to England to massacre the Rhodes family. I was just about to call you to discuss this matter."
The Chief President asked, "If the Li Qianfan currently in the town of Las is a fake, then he is very likely the Bai Du Niao who defeated you in the suicide forest. He is just playing the pig to eat the tiger, using you to achieve his terrifying scheme."
Jiao Yin nodded heavily.
She thought the same.
The wind had lessened considerably.
But the snowflakes had grown larger.
Jiao Yin, fighting against the wind, held her phone and discussed with the Chief President for a full half hour.
"Tonight, you must use any means necessary to find out if Li Qianfan is real."
"But before you see him, you must absolutely not reveal your martial arts skills."
"What if he is the real Li Qianfan?"
The Chief President's concern was well-founded.
Jiao Yin nodded: "I know what to do. If he is Bai Du Niao, do you have any good suggestions?"
The Chief President said coldly, "Kill as many people as you can! Let Li Qianfan know that he must pay the most painful price for playing the pig to eat the tiger and humiliating the three presidents of our dark web."
Jiao Yin smiled.
That smile was sinister and terrifying!
"I know what to do. That's all."
Jiao Yin said indifferently and ended the call.
She pulled up the hood of her down jacket and returned to town, lowering her head as if she were just going out for a walk.
From a distance.
Jiao Yin saw a car parked in front of the small courtyard Li Qianfan had rented.
Two people were carrying things and hurriedly went inside.
Jiao Yin paid no attention.
In the past two or three days, this car had come every day to deliver medicinal herbs or tonics for Li Qianfan.
She leisurely returned to her room.
She pressed her ear against the wooden door, listening to the sounds outside.
About ten minutes later.
Zhai Xing's voice came from outside the door: "Uncle Xingtang, it's starting to snow again. Please drive carefully on the road."
Li Xingtang's voice replied: "Don't worry. Go back. I see that Qianfan's condition has improved a lot. It seems this medicine is very effective."
The sound of a door opening and closing followed.
Jiao Yin quickly walked to the window and quietly lifted the curtain.
She watched Li Xingtang and another person quickly leave, and only after the car started did Jiao Yin lower the curtain.
She took out a short knife from her backpack.
The short knife was very sharp!
She held the short knife in her right hand in a reverse grip, opened the door with her left hand, and walked out of the bedroom.
