Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 285 It turns out they were sent by Xu Meng (Please subscribe)

After the other person had gone far away, Xu Ye took out the box containing the Empress Jin from his bag.

Because he hadn't tested his workshop space yet, he hadn't put the Queen inside.

Following Jin Hou, Xu Ye rode his bicycle slowly and leisurely behind.

I'm following too fast; I'm worried about being discovered.

Xu Ye followed behind the person as if he were just strolling around.

Although the other party has counter-surveillance capabilities, they can't withstand Xu Ye's cheat code of having the Golden Queen.

As long as you keep your distance, it's unlikely that the other party will notice that Xu Ye is following behind you.

After following them all the way, Xu Ye discovered that the other party had entered a courtyard house and seemed to be living there.

In that case, it would be inconvenient to follow them in.

Xu Ye waited outside for half an hour, but no one came out.

Left with no other choice, he had to give up for the time being.

As Xu Ye rode his bike home, he found a stranger squatting at his door.

"You are..." Xu Ye asked as he got out of the car.

Suddenly, the other party pulled out a gun and tried to shoot.

Xu Ye reacted extremely quickly, rushing forward to seize the gun without giving the other party a chance to fire.

When he took the gun, Xu Ye punched the other man in the chin, knocking him unconscious.

Without saying a word, he took out his key, opened the door, and dragged the person inside.

The next second, Xu Ye pulled the person into the workshop space.

An assassination attempt at someone's doorstep—that's incredibly brutal.

Next, he activated his extreme hearing and smell to see if this person had any accomplices.

Time passed slowly, but he didn't hear any sound.

So he closed the door.

Xu Ye cautiously returned to the inner courtyard, still wary of his surroundings.

Ping An didn't call out; instead, she rushed out when the door opened.

Ping An has now been boosted to near its limit by Xu Ye using his hunting attributes, which shows how incredibly clever he is.

The fact that it did not issue a warning indicates that no one was lurking in the yard.

However, it's hard to say whether there are any people under the walls surrounding the courtyard.

"Xu Ye, you're back?" Wang Huiyu came out of the house when she heard the noise.

It's clear she didn't know there were people lying in ambush outside.

"Hmm, is dinner ready?" Xu Ye walked casually towards the kitchen.

Although he did not test the workshop space with animals, he did test it with candles.

The fact that the candle doesn't go out indicates that there is enough oxygen inside.

However, he was unsure whether the animals could survive or whether time was frozen inside them.

That assassin was just the right person to test things out.

Therefore, Xu Ye could not possibly tell Wang Huiyu about the assassin, and could not let her know.

"Okay, come and eat." With that, Wang Huiyu took the food out of the pot.

While eating, Xu Ye secretly observed the movements in the courtyard.

Wang Huiyu seemed to notice that he was somewhat absent-minded and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen to you when you went out today?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired," Xu Ye replied, then quickly finished his meal.

After finishing his meal, Xu Ye used the excuse of needing to tidy up his tools to return to his room alone.

He locked the door and immediately went into the workshop space to check on the assassin.

To his surprise, the assassin remained unconscious, but his breathing was steady, indicating that the workshop space could indeed sustain life.

Xu Ye reached out and slapped the other person's face, wanting to test the effect.

"Snapped!"

The sound was loud, but the other person still did not wake up.

Therefore, Xu Ye stopped trying to wake the other person and waited for them to wake up naturally.

He exited the workshop space and returned to reality.

His consciousness was no different from his body inside, and even more free and convenient.

The body must enter, and then disappear from reality.

Back in reality, Xu Ye took out the gun that was tucked behind his back.

This is a handgun, and it must be quite old.

We still have bullets, and they're loaded.

This means that the other party is either there to threaten or to assassinate him.

Xu Ye was very curious about who was doing this.

Is Wong Ho-ming really that depraved?

However, the investigation did not show that Huang Haoming was targeting him.

Did Huang Xiaojun and Huang Zhiguo hire someone to do it?
This possibility is quite high, after all, they have a deep grudge against him now.

We'll know for sure once we interrogate the killer.

For now, Xu Ye ignored him.

Without their own control, that person cannot leave the workshop space.

Therefore, Xu Ye was not worried that the other party would come out.

In addition, the interior has been completely renovated by Xu Ye, with the upper part being an independent storage space.

There's really nothing there right now, so it's completely empty.

A completely enclosed space can be very despairing, like a dark room.

It's important to know that the light source inside will also disappear after Xu Ye leaves.

Inside, it was pitch black.

People will break down if they stay there for too long.

Xu Ye entered the side room; today should be the day the letter arrives.

Upon reaching the side chamber, the eagle immediately flew to Xu Ye's shoulder.

After interacting with them for a while, Xu Ye finally took down the letter.

Life is getting better and better in Sanxi Brigade now, because everything is being implemented according to Xu Ye's plan.

Nowadays, there are more and more bamboo rats in the village.

Not only did they sell the hides, but they also had plenty of meat to feed the villagers.

Everyone is grateful to Xu Ye. Without Xu Ye, they wouldn't be raising bamboo rats and wouldn't have meat to eat every week.

In the past, we could only eat meat during the Lunar New Year.

Now, every household can receive three jin of meat every week.

If we eat sparingly, we can still have some meat every day.

Such days are already too good for them.

In addition, Jiang Ruoan and the others talked a lot about their families and their studies.

Now, they are just looking forward to the college entrance examination.

That way, I can take the exam and come to the capital to reunite with him.

After reading the letter, Xu Ye's lips curled up slightly.

He was pleased with the changes in Sanxi Brigade.

In addition to letters, they also sent Xu Ye some money.

This money, of course, came from the hunting team.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and Xu Ye could no longer obtain the hunting attribute.

Otherwise, he would definitely have accumulated a lot of hunting attributes.

There was quite a bit of money. Xu Ye counted it; there were 328 yuan in total.

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, and it will be a great help to him right now.

After all, Xu Ye felt that his salary was really not enough to cover his expenses.

He needs to buy electronic components, which will cost a considerable amount.

Xu Ye didn't rush to reply, as he would have Cangying deliver the letter back over the weekend. Xu Ye lit a cigarette and took out his books to study.

The research institute has many books that Xu Ye can borrow to study at home, which is very helpful to both her and him.

After all, he had never worked in this field in his previous life, so he still needed to learn and accumulate knowledge.

Even while studying, he didn't forget to keep an eye on what was happening outside.

After all, if one assassin fails, there might be a second one.

Xu Ye was quite cautious in this regard.

He even sent eagles to patrol the area above the house, so they could warn anyone who approached the vicinity.

There was no further activity until late at night, and no one came to the door.

Even the police weren't there, which greatly surprised Xu Ye.

He figured the assassin must have woken up, so Xu Ye entered the workshop space again.

The assassin was still unconscious, but his breathing had become more rapid than before, indicating that he was about to wake up.

Xu Ye did not rush to interrogate, but first checked the condition of the workshop space.

“There is plenty of oxygen, and the flow of time seems to be in sync with the outside world…” he muttered to himself, “but the space is completely sealed off, and he absolutely cannot get out without my permission.”

After confirming everything was correct, Xu Ye withdrew, deciding to wait until the assassin was fully awake before taking action.

Late at night, inside the workshop space.

The assassin suddenly opened his eyes, only to find everything pitch black.

He instinctively reached out and groped around, only to find himself lying on a cold, smooth ground, with nothing around him, not even a wall.

"Where am I?!" His voice trembled as he struggled to his feet, but he bumped into an invisible barrier after only two steps.

"Don't waste your energy, you can't get out." Xu Ye's voice suddenly rang out in the darkness, as if it came from all directions.

The assassin froze, turned around abruptly, but still couldn't see anything.

"Who?! Come out!" he shouted sharply, but there was already a hint of panic in his voice.

"Heh." Xu Ye sneered, then snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a faint light appeared in the workshop space, and Xu Ye's figure slowly emerged, standing in front of the assassin.

The assassin's pupils contracted, and he instinctively took two steps back: "You...you're Xu Ye?!"

"It seems you know me." Xu Ye put his hands in his pockets, his tone calm. "Tell me, who sent you?"

The assassin gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Stubborn?" Xu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly raised his hand and waved.

Instantly, the surrounding light sources went out again, plunging the entire space into absolute darkness.

"Ah!!" the assassin screamed, frantically waving his hands, trying to grab something, but he couldn't touch anything but air.

"Let me out! Let me out!" His voice was already breaking down.

Xu Ye did not respond, but simply waited quietly.

Ten minutes later, when the darkness and silence were driving the assassin almost mad, Xu Ye spoke again: "Last chance. Who sent you?"

"Huang... Huang Zhiguo!" The assassin finally broke down, his voice trembling with tears. "He sent me! He said he'd give me a sum of money if I killed you!"

Xu Ye's eyes turned cold: "It really was him."

He snapped his fingers again, and the space was illuminated again.

The assassin slumped to the ground, his face deathly pale and his body trembling.

"Where is Huang Zhiguo now?" Xu Ye asked.

"I don't know, I don't know," the assassin said in a terrified voice.

"It seems you still don't want to tell the truth." Xu Ye felt that the other person's eyes were shifting, and that he was definitely lying to him.

So he snapped his fingers again, turning off the lights in the workshop space.

Then, he exited the space.

There's no need for further review now; we'll discuss it again tomorrow morning when I wake up.

So Xu Ye went straight to sleep.

Presumably, by tomorrow the other person will have broken down and be able to tell you the truth.

The next morning, as soon as Xu Ye opened his eyes, he heard heart-wrenching cries coming from the workshop space.

"I'll tell you everything! Please let me out!"

Xu Ye smiled slightly, slowly finished washing up, and then entered the workshop space.

The assassin was curled up on the ground, his face covered in tears, and he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"You've figured it out?" Xu Ye looked down at him.

"I've figured it out, I confess, I confess everything."

"Xu Meng, it was Xu Meng who sent me to kill you."

Xu Ye was taken aback.

Xu Meng?

"He's already been arrested, and you're still willing to risk your life for him? Do you think I'd believe you?" Xu Ye sneered, mocking him.

However, he knew in his heart that people nowadays still valued loyalty and brotherhood.

The other party could indeed do that.

“I owe him my life; he saved me and my brother.”

"Isn't it only right to exchange a life for a life?" the assassin said with a bitter smile.

“When I went to see him, he told me to get rid of you.”

"Once you die, the house will belong to them."

"After all, Wang Huiyu is just a daughter-in-law of the Xu family and has no right to deal with this house."

Xu Ye looked at the other person and knew that he was no longer lying.

"Then why did you say that Huang Zhiguo sent you?" Xu Ye asked casually.

"Naturally, it's to frame you, so you can cause trouble for Huang Zhiguo and provoke his revenge," the assassin explained.

Xu Ye twitched his lips, not expecting the other party to be such a talent, actually knowing how to use their brain.

"So what are you going to do now?" Xu Ye looked at the other person, somewhat troubled.

Dispose of it?
This is inappropriate, extremely inappropriate.

He didn't want his hands to be stained with human blood.

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. Just give me a quick death," the assassin said with a bitter expression.

Who wouldn't want to live if they could?
However, his assassination attempt failed, and he was imprisoned in such a place that he felt his chances of survival were very low.

If it can reduce the pain, then Xu Ye is being merciful, isn't he?

"Do you think I'm like you, daring to kill someone on the spot?"

"Besides, even if we deal with you, you still have a younger brother." This was what gave Xu Ye a headache.

Upon hearing Xu Ye mention his younger brother, the other person's expression changed.

"My brother is only ten years old. He doesn't understand anything. Please don't lay a hand on him. He didn't know I was coming," the assassin pleaded hastily, kneeling down.

"If I let you go, wouldn't you owe me a life?" Xu Ye asked, looking at the other person.

This person is very loyal and righteous; he would even attempt an assassination to repay a debt of gratitude.

Perhaps, we can even subdue them.

In the future, he will need someone to work for him.

“Yes, but do you know how?” He looked at Xu Ye.

Being able to live is naturally a good thing.

Only by living can I see my younger brother.

When you're dead, you lose everything.

However, he has already repaid his debt of gratitude and no longer owes Xu Meng anything.

"Why not?"

"But if I let you go, will you still attack me?" Xu Ye wanted to know this.

Your own safety is more important than anything else.

"Of course not, I've settled my score with Xu Meng. I would never do it for him a second time," he said firmly.

"Okay, then you just wait. I'll let you out tonight." With that, Xu Ye turned off the light again.

We still need to test the other party; it's impossible to just let them go so easily.
