Chapter 44 Going to see Lu Yunyi

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's wife, who was originally meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Someone come here." Mrs. Lu's face darkened and she shouted.

"Madam." Chunxiu, the maid who was guarding outside the door, immediately entered the house.

"Go and call the eldest master over, quickly!" Mrs. Lu ordered sternly.

Chunxiu didn't dare to ask more questions and hurried to call Lei Tianqi out from the concubine's room.

Although Lei Tianqi was somewhat dissatisfied with his good deeds being interrupted, what could he do since it was his own mother who called him over?
Even if the work was half done, he could only pull up his pants and go to Mrs. Lu's room obediently.

"Mom, it's so late in the evening. Is there something urgent that you want to call your son over here?" Lei Tianqi asked carefully as he stood in front of Mrs. Lu.

"Lei Laowu is dead." Mrs. Lu said in a cold voice.

"What! Lei Laowu is dead! Who killed him?!" Lei Tianqi widened his eyes in disbelief.

Lei Laowu is from the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion is standing behind him. Who dares to kill him in Leidi City? !
“I don’t know. The person died not long ago and the restriction in his body was triggered.

It seems that someone wants to find out something through Lei Laowu and Shun Teng.

Fortunately, I was prepared and left a restriction in Lei Laowu's body. If he wants to say something bad to us, he will explode and die immediately."

Mrs. Lu's eyes were cold. The death of Lei Laowu was not a big deal.

But the person who killed Lei Laowu obviously had bad intentions and was most likely targeting them mother and son.

This person must be found out to see how much he knows.

"The ban was actually triggered!" Lei Tianqi was shocked.

"That person must have known something, so he forced Lei Laowu to tell him!"

Lei Tianqi looked annoyed. Why did he die at this time? Could it be that someone really found out something unfavorable to them and their son?
The more Lei Tianqi thought about it, the more worried he became.

"That's probably the case. You go tell Steward Lei about Lei Laowu's murder and let him investigate the matter.

Remember, keep a low profile and don't let anyone notice anything unusual or suspect our City Lord's Mansion."

Mrs. Lu said to her son.

Lei Tianqi nodded quickly in agreement.

……

Jiang Li dealt with everything and returned to the room. Although he caught Lei Laowu in the act tonight, the mission was only half completed.

This result made Jiang Li very unhappy.

[System, are you mistaken? Lei Laowu is dead, doesn't this count as completing the mission?]

Jiang Li was not convinced. The murderer was obviously dead and this was only half done. Where could she go to seek justice?
[Don't forget, Lei Laowu is just one of the murderers, he was just following orders.] The system said confidently.

Jiang Li almost got angry.

[Are you kidding me? Lei Tianqi is in the early stage of Jindan, and Madam Lu is in the stage of Shenhua.

I can't handle either of them. You actually want me to catch them. What's the difference between this and pushing me to death! 】

Jiang Li was almost laughed out of anger by the system.

[You have to figure it out on your own. This system doesn't let you confront them head-on.] The system's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

Jiang Li couldn't help but curse. This was not an intermediate task at all, it was more like an advanced task.

Broken system, artificial intelligence...

Jiang Li cursed too vulgarly, so the system blocked her voice directly.

After scolding the system harshly, Jiang Li finally calmed down.

The system would not point her to a dead end. From her previous experience of accepting missions, a mission that seemed like a dead end would definitely have a glimmer of hope, but she didn't know where this glimmer of hope was.

Jiang Li thought for a long time and finally came to a key point.

"Lu Yunyi... maybe I should go meet this cousin."

There was still an hour before dawn, and she planned to go meet this mysterious cousin before daybreak.

In order to avoid being discovered, she also took a look around the system mall to see if there were any props that could help her. This time, she actually found a good thing.

An item called the Invisibility Talisman appeared in front of Jiang Li.

This invisibility talisman is produced by the system. It can not only make you invisible, but also automatically hide your breath.

Although it is very effective, the effect of a talisman only lasts for one hour.

After one hour, this talisman will lose its effect.

Such a talisman actually requires her to have 10 positive energy points!
But in order to complete the task, I endured the pain and bought it.

With the invisibility talisman, everything will be easy.

With the invisibility talisman in hand, Jiang Li entered Lu Yunyi's yard effortlessly.

This yard is indeed loose on the outside but tight on the inside. From the outside, there is nothing unusual to be seen, but inside there is a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps.

With such tight defense, if she didn't have the invisibility talisman, she would have no chance of getting in alive.

I groped my way to Lu Yunyi's room. Fortunately, there was no one in the room.

Sneak into the room quietly and come to the bedside.

A haggard woman was lying on the bed.

The woman was so thin that only a bag of bones remained.

The woman had her eyes closed and looked dying, as if she would die at any moment.

Jiang Li frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

She reached out and felt the pulse of the woman on the bed.

As soon as her hand pressed on the other person's hand, an electric current passed through the woman's hand and reached Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was shocked by the electric shock.

This...what the hell is this!

"Who is it?" The woman suddenly opened her eyes and asked in a low voice, so low that it could not be heard unless you listened closely.

"Who... is here?" the woman asked again with difficulty.

Her voice was so thin, it seemed as if she had spent all her strength just to speak.

[Are you Lu Yunyi? ] Jiang Li thought for a moment and finally spoke, but in a telepathic way.

"It's me." Lu Yunyi's pupils shrank slightly, as if she had not expected that someone could actually sneak into her room.

"No matter how you got in, please leave quickly, otherwise... you will die." Lu Yunyi finally finished saying this sentence with one breath.

His face turned even paler.

[Don't talk yet, let me see how you are.] Jiang Li was prepared this time, and even though the current was still hitting her hand, she resisted the urge to pull it back.

By taking Lu Yunyi's pulse, she found that she was in very poor health and was almost hanging on.

Moreover, her physical condition was very strange, as if she had been sucked dry by something.

[System, what's wrong with her? I can't figure out what went wrong.]

Jiang Li asked the system in confusion.

In Jiang Li's opinion, although the system is an artificial intelligence and the tasks it issues are becoming more and more difficult, its capabilities are really strong.

[Ding! Does the host choose to spend 10 positive energy points to scan Lu Yunyi's physical condition? ]

Jiang Li: ...

He actually asked for positive energy as soon as he opened his mouth. It turns out that there is no free breakfast, lunch, dinner or midnight snack in the world.

【scanning.】

Jiang Li comforted herself that she had to spend the money.
