Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

On the way, while Ling Yao closed his eyes and took a nap, recharging his energy, he was also brainstorming frantically, thinking about Xin Ran's real intention for this move.

It is absolutely impossible for Xin Ran to go through so much trouble, even at the expense of giving up his legal status in this world, just to push himself.

Combined with the fact that tonight also coincides with the "climactic plot" of Lin Tianyu's melee with the Beijing family, this "coincidence" would not be possible without Xin Ran's help.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain.These four words were deeply engraved in Ling Yao's heart.

If there is indeed a big commotion at Lin Tianyu's side tonight, and even the entire headquarters moves accordingly, as a non-staff member of the Special Intelligence Bureau, he must rush to the scene as [Ling Yao].And Xin Ran obviously doesn't want his "variable" to intervene in the affairs around the "protagonist".

And his own game is also very "interesting".

Among the three locations, it is not him who actually chooses one of the three, but the people from the Secret Service.Because Ling Yao can actually visit at least two locations, or even all three locations by himself.However, his statement about Zhang Yongxin is still conservative.But if the Secret Service wants to arrive at the scene with enough people to deal with Xin Ran, it must choose only one location.

And in fact, as long as enough thinking time is given, Zhang Yongxin will definitely choose "Chenxiang Teahouse" as his first destination in the end without him reminding him.

And if he still wanted to find Xin Ran as much as possible, he would inevitably have to go to other places alone, derailing the large forces of the Secret Service.

In this way, whether it is to further delay him or find an opportunity to frame him, the probability of success is greatly increased.

This game is quite subtle, the key is only that an enemy is out of the blue and caught off guard.

Moreover, Ling Yao won't earn much if he chooses the right one—he doesn't believe that Xin Ran will really wait somewhere obediently; Into the trap that Ling Xingran set up for him.

In addition, he was also wondering what kind of characters and clues Xin Ran would set up in these places to delay their time.

When Lin Tianyu came to the capital, he did not bring any "little brother" who was born in Fengcheng.And the new "little brother" he developed in the capital, Ling Yao has never really met, even if they face to face, I'm afraid they won't recognize each other, and naturally they won't be able to "hold him" character.

What's more, now that Lin Tianyu is fighting with the forces of the aristocratic family, his own hands may have been tied up long ago, and he will not be able to join Xin Ran's game.

Then there are only two possibilities left: either Lin Tianyu's enemy, or Lin Tianyu's "harem".

The enemy is easy to guess, nine out of ten it is Li Jiaheng.Although based on the information Li Jiaheng has obtained now, the possibility of him and Xin Ran directly cooperating is almost zero.

But as far as this person's mind is concerned, he didn't even realize that he was not another system holder at all, and it was normal to be turned around by Xin Ran.

As for the "harem"... Tsk, he hasn't paid attention to it.In the recent update, apart from a nondescript international (zhu) international (jue) medical (da) academic (lian) exchange (xian) exchange (chang), the author's main energy is put on gang fights and family intrigues, complaining The text messages of the servants naturally follow these contents.Who knows what kind of ambiguous relationship Lin Tianyu has developed, or whether his former confidante came to the capital to gain a sense of presence?

The vehicle entered the alley and slowed down significantly.Ling Yao opened his eyes and looked at the vaguely cold street.

Chenxiang Tea House is across the street from the night market, but the atmosphere is completely different.The opposite side is crowded with people and the fireworks are strong. Although it is still open here, it looks quiet and peaceful.

As soon as the car stopped, Ling Yao jumped out of the car first, and went straight to the teahouse.

Ling Yao was in a hurry, but he didn't miss any of the skills that should be activated.Extreme speed, lightness, detection, object shield, magic shield, buff, set yourself five or six sets first, and then talk about when the buff is full.

In his eyes, colorful streamers of different shades swayed faintly from the officers on duty of the Special Intelligence Bureau, like a group of surging clouds.This is the breath emanating from the self-consciousness of a cultivator.

All the flow of true energy has nowhere to hide at this moment.

However, after stepping into the gate, this smoky and soft teahouse is no different from any ordinary teahouse except that it is more stylish.

There are no cultivators lurking here. In fact, it is basically certain that the "main battlefield" set by Xin Ran is not here.

But Ling Yao didn't turn around and leave.Although time was tight, he couldn't easily let go of any clues.

The gray mist in his pupils gradually faded, and a dark purple light flashed instead.

This is another investigative technique. Combined with the heartbeat sound blessed by the technique, he can easily determine the location of all living things in the building in real time.

一楼大堂员工5人，后勤12人，客人1名。二楼办公室2人，雅座6人。三楼包间1人。

Without much hesitation, Ling Yao didn't wait for the front desk to lead the way, and quickly ran to the third floor through the winding and winding corridors, pretending to be winding.

Others were on the move, chatting in groups of two or three, or drinking alone.There was only the woman on the third floor. She had no companions to talk to, and she ignored the tea on the table, fidgeted with her hands, and fumbled for something from time to time—clearly, she was waiting for something.

Maybe she was waiting for Xin Ran, or maybe it was him she was waiting for.

Ling Yao directly pushed open the concealed door.

The woman in the seat had obviously heard the approaching footsteps, but when she saw Ling Yao who suddenly barged in, she was obviously taken aback for a moment, and stood up a little helplessly.

And Ling Yao saw the other person's face clearly, and was silent for a while.

It turned out to be Zhou Yunyi.

One thing to say, Ling Yao was facing this face, and he thought about it for a long time, and combined with his own reasoning just now, before he remembered who this person was.

In fact, except for the birthday party of the Zhou family where Lin Tianyu made a big splash in the early years, Ling Yao has never seen this Miss Jiao who was used by the Zhou family as a marriage bargaining chip.

And even at the birthday banquet, the elders and heirs were in charge, as well as Lin Tianyu, who showed his teeth and claws. Although Zhou Yunyi was one of the protagonists of the blind date, it was really just a background protagonist.

Beautiful, docile, without great skills and power, she is a lady of everyone, and also a little girl who relies on her family and Lin Tianyu.This is the entire image of Zhou Yunyi to the outside world.It's no wonder that she is called the so-called "Vase Zhenggong" by the Tucao servants.

Ling Yao can't say whether he likes such a woman or not. In fact, his life circle is different, and he has no intersection with her at all.

But it was also because of this that he wondered, why did Xin Ran try so hard to attract Zhou Yunyi to him?How can such a person hold himself back?

However, maybe after all, she is also a young lady of the family who has seen the scene, Zhou Yunyi gradually calmed down seeing Ling Yao silent.She even put on a shallow smile, stretched out her hand to lead Ling Yao to sit:

"I lost my composure. I didn't expect that Mr. Nan would really come. How can I make you stand, please take a seat."

Seeing Zhou Yunyi's attitude, Ling Yao guessed that perhaps she might not be ignorant of Xin Ran's existence.Perhaps Xin Ran concealed the possibility of a bomb, and tricked her into coming to the appointment with sweet words—maybe it was a promise of benefits, or maybe it was to make her think that doing so would achieve some purpose.

But Ling Yao's eyes moved away from Zhou Yunyi's body, and he looked at the surrounding environment.Although the environment of the tea room has its own charm, there is nothing special about it.

It's so peaceful, whether it's people or the environment.In such an occasion, it seems to be undercurrent.

Finally, Ling Yao's eyes fell on the leather bag in Zhou Yunyi's hand.I'm afraid this is what she has been stroking just now.

"Perhaps you know that I don't have time to chat with you."

With a flick of Ling Yao's wrist, the stack of runes in his sleeve showed yellow corners, ready to go, but hidden from Zhou Yunyi's sight.Zhou Yunyi may know that the things in the bag are special, but she may not know that it is the "bomb" Xin Ran said to them.And even if it's a bomb, is it timed?Still triggered?Or remote?

He couldn't provoke Zhou Yunyi.

"He asked me to pass over the contents of the bag to you. I can also guess that you have important things to do, but I need to talk to you."

Zhou Yunyi's smile didn't change a bit, but Ling Yao could hear the slight tremor in her voice,

"He said that after you see something, you will be willing to chat with me for a while."

Contrary to Ling Yao's expectations, Zhou Yunyi generously handed the bag to him.Without hesitation, Ling Yao took the leather bag with his left hand, slightly tested the fluctuations in it with his true energy, and asked casually:

"Apart from this, did he give you anything else?"

For example, remote controls and the like, if this weak-looking woman happened to have one in her hand, and she happened to have a nervous breakdown and press the bomb trigger, the whole building would probably be blown up.

"No more. You can open it and have a look. He said that this thing can only be dealt with when you are present, otherwise it will cause an uncontrollable disaster. So, I can only wait for you here."

Ling Yao's true energy didn't detect any danger, and he didn't care too much at this time, and opened the leather bag.There is a U disk inside, and a small black square.

No matter what is in this USB flash drive, it must be handed over to the Secret Service for processing. After all, he doesn't know much about computer technology.As for this little cube...

Ling Yao didn't show it on the face, but he had scolded Xin Ran eight hundred times in his heart.

Isn't the small square in front of you the "new puzzle" mechanism toy that has reappeared on the market recently, transformed from an ancient puzzle?

Of course, the riddles on the market are more inclined to children's intellectual games. As long as the inner cylinder is turned, the outer rice noodles correspond to the inner riddles, and the mechanism will be opened.

The complicated version of the riddle, Ling Yao, was only seen once in Zhang Yongxin's office. It required turning the inner cylinder several times to solve different puzzles, and after opening the mechanism, he could get the small toy in the interlayer.

If you open it in the wrong way, the mechanism will be stuck, and things will be stuck inside and cannot get out. You can only reset it with the key.

Zhang Yongxin had nothing to do at that time, and taught Ling Yao how to play several times.

It's a pity that Ling Yao really doesn't have much talent in mechanism, he got stuck five times after playing the game.In the end Zhang Yongxin couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him out of the office.

Ling Yao Of course, this thing is purely for fun, if you really use it, you will find that the person being guarded is definitely not the thief, but yourself.

Ling Yao really didn't expect to see such a thing here. Could it be that Xin Ran's hand has been stretched so far that he even understands the daily life of the person in charge Zhang Yongxin who is investigating him so clearly?

What's more terrible is that although the puzzles and answers above are modern knowledge that Ling Yao is not familiar with, they all use the runes of Mangsheng Great World.

These guys from the Special Intelligence Bureau can't use it clearly, let alone understand the literal meaning!No wonder Xin Ran dared to tell Zhou Yunyi that this matter can only be handled in his presence!

In just this short period of time, other members of the Secret Service had already surrounded the teahouse and drove away all irrelevant personnel.

The duty team took the lead and also rushed into the private room on the third floor.

Seeing the riddle in Ling Yao's hand, most of them were taken aback.Only a few people recognized the similarity between this and Zhang Yongxin's ornaments.

"Contact Zhang Yongxin immediately. This is a riddle, I can read the characters, let him appoint an operator, hurry up."

Although Zhang Yongxin is not here, with this character, he must have taught others how to play.There are always one or two people present who have operated it before, which is better than letting Ling Yao's mechanism useless.

Sure enough, someone in the team asked:

"Where's the key? Have you reset the key?"

Although it is still uncertain what is inside the riddle, this key item must be taken out as much as possible.

And if there is a key, even if they can't open the puzzle directly, they can at least reset it, and they will have many chances to try.

And Ling Yao handed over the USB flash drive and Cubes to the captain of Team B who was closest to him, and turned his purse upside down, but he didn't find anything.

He looked at Zhou Yunyi, and Zhou Yunyi seemed to be looking at him silently.

At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he could guess that Zhou Yunyi's confidence in inviting him to "chat for a while" was that she had the "key" in her hands.

Ling Yao did indeed say:

"He gave you the key. You used it as a bargaining chip."

Zhou Yunyi's lips moved slightly, as if she was about to agree, but someone beside her couldn't help but interrupted and shouted:

"Do you know how many people this thing may kill? You still use the key as a bargaining chip to negotiate with us??? Do you know that this kind of behavior can be designated as an accomplice!!"

"I only met that person once, and I don't understand all his plans, so how could he be an accomplice?

"It can only be regarded as a crime of obstructing official duties, and the most serious thing is negligent death. After all, I have no subjective will. I just don't believe the serious consequences you said."

It seems that the most frightening period has passed, Zhou Yunyi's words became smoother and smoother, with a strange "certainty" becoming more and more,

"And I even gave you the leather bag very cooperatively, but I didn't give you the so-called key directly. After all, you are not sure, even I am not sure, whether this key exists and whether it is in my hand .

"Even if he's willing to 'chat' with me, I'll just give him the most likely key. After such a calculation, how can it be said that I don't cooperate with you? Obviously, I am very cooperative."

For a while, no one jumped out to speak.

But Ling Yao could still hear the low curses in the team.

Ling Yao was actually quite surprised. Her performance today has already shown that even if Xin Ran didn't tell him the keywords of explosion, she had already guessed that the props in hand might be life-threatening.

But Zhou Yunyi still chose to use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for her own interests, and even studied how to deal with it if the defendant was really accused...

It seems that this gentle, kind, intelligent "vase Zhenggong" seems to have unconsciously changed the "personality" and turned into a sharp and unscrupulous "black-hearted porcelain piece".

Or maybe, she was.It's just that no matter whether it's Lin Tianyu or Tucaoyong, they didn't find out?

"I could have a 'chat' with you, if there was enough time. Time is tight, you know."

In the end, Ling Yao was the first to break through the deadlock.

"I don't need to pursue your actions today. But you must tell me, are you capable of handing over this key to us now? This is related to whether the transaction is established."

Zhou Yunyi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly:

"It won't be long. More than enough in between your deciphering efforts."

This amounts to an affirmative answer.After listening, Ling Yao immediately turned to Zhang Yongxin who had already been in contact remotely:

"Then, you can start first. I will translate when I encounter a text that is unfamiliar to you, and I will trouble you for the rest."

Since the key must exist, Zhang Yongxin and the others can try a few times boldly first, and he can also work in two threads, taking care of both ends.

Zhang Yongxin nodded, and continued to look at the puzzle tube through the video call, as if he was analyzing how to call the mechanism in it.And Ling Yao also sat down, saying that he could start "chatting".

Although time is urgent, he doesn't like to follow Xin Ran's pace.But he also knew that if he was already passive, and he attempted to forcibly break through Xin Ran's plan, it would probably cause even more serious consequences.

Furthermore, if he sacrificed a little more of his stamina originally reserved for fighting, it would not be impossible for him to travel to all three places.

So, what did Zhou Yunyi want to ask?

In fact, Ling Yao couldn't figure it out either.In the intersection between him and Lin Tianyu, Zhou Yunyi was almost absent, and he had nothing to do with the Zhou family.He couldn't think of what answer he had in his hands. It was worth Zhou Yunyi's risk to go against the Secret Service, and to sit down and "chat"?

After a little deliberation, Zhou Yunyi seemed to have made up her mind, no longer shy away from others, and said:

"I want to know that the reason for Lin Tianyu's blockbuster success is also the source of his strength and his only weakness."

Regardless of lamenting that this little girl, Zhou Yunyi, secretly wanted to do something to Lin Tianyu, Ling Yao couldn't help but say something:

"Ah? What kind of weakness is his source of strength? Isn't his biggest weakness his brain?"

Not to mention Zhou Yunyi, even Zhang Yongxin, who was studying the riddle remotely, couldn't help but roll his eyes. He couldn't tell whether he agreed with Ling Yao's evaluation of Lin Tianyu, or simply disdain Ling Yao's irrelevant answer.

Zhou Yunyi was choked even more, and it took a while to recover and continue to say:

"What I want to know is something more specific. That person told me that apart from Lin Tianyu himself, there are only three people in the world who know the root of Lin Tianyu's growing strength.

"One is himself, but he doesn't intend to tell me the answer directly. The other is the second son of the Li family, but he has been elusive in the past two years. With my contacts, it is difficult to find him."

"I'm the third one? Although you couldn't find me by yourself, Xin Ran showed you the direction."

Ling Yao waved his hand, casually but speaking quickly,

"I can indeed tell you the answer, it's very simple, it's the ring that hangs on his chest all day long.

"It contains the inheritance of Qingyou Valley, various secret books and elixir, and even a dragon shadow in it. That's why Lin Tianyu has grown from an ordinary person to where he is today.

"But it doesn't mean much to you."

What Ling Yao said just now was too attention-grabbing. Zhang Yongxin had ordered people to move their research site to the tea room, so he did not hear what Ling Yao said now.

But the other people guarding the tea room secretly pricked up their ears, obviously surprised by the gossip.

Perhaps this surprise also includes the question of "why would Nambotu know this".

"I guess there is a problem with your relationship. Or, you unilaterally feel that there is a problem with your relationship now. But no matter what the reason, you want to take advantage of him and occupy the dominant position in the relationship. But through such a secret alone is Impossible.

"It doesn't matter if you steal the ring or destroy it, the power that Lin Tianyu has gained will not disappear with the loss of the ring.

"In the best case, you succeed, and Lin Tianyu just doesn't break through anymore, but for you, he is still an insurmountable mountain.

"More importantly, it is impossible for you to get it. Don't say how much Lin Tianyu valued that ring, the dragon in the ring will not let go of any human beings who covet it. It is the guardian of Qingyou Valley. It will give you any chance to harm the descendants of Qingyou Valley.

"It seems that this question is indeed very simple, no wonder there is more than enough time."

With that said, Ling Yao took the camera handed over by the person next to him, took a few glances, and began to translate the meaning of the runes to them.

And Zhou Yunyi just kept silent with an ugly face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"So? Any more questions? Better not. I'm in a hurry."

But Ling Yao's gesture of leaving at any time finally deeply stimulated Zhou Yunyi.She stood up abruptly, as if this could restrain Ling Yao from getting up:

"No, no, you haven't answered me yet, what should I do, he said you will tell me! I know that you have been paying attention to Fengcheng's movements secretly, and you can understand my situation after a little understanding! I have already I've reached my limit, I only have one last chance! If I still reach this point, even if it's..."

Although Ling Yao hadn't seriously understood Zhou Yunyi's real situation, he could more or less guess when he saw the other party's collapsed state.

It was nothing more than the fact that the Zhou family had put their bets on Lin Tianyu, hoping not only to keep the Zhou family, but also to use Lin Tianyu's energy to make a comeback.As a result, after sending her daughter away, she found out that Lin Tianyu not only had new loves and old loves, but also did not return to Fengcheng for several years.

No matter how well Lin Tianyu develops in the capital, can the Zhou family get a piece of the pie?Obviously not.

Moreover, the Zhou family had the airs of a famous family, and had never given Li Haibo any good looks before. As a result, now Lin Tianyu's assets in Fengcheng are all managed by such a brat, and the Zhou family can't take any advantage.

In this situation, who can the Zhou family blame?You can neither blame Lin Tianyu who made the bet, nor Li Haibo who is in charge of the money, nor even dare to blame Lin Tianyu's "confidantes" who "see them as if they are against the scales".

What else can I do, I can only shift the responsibility to this daughter who "can't tie a man"?

Either they forced Zhou Yunyi to "seduce" Lin Tianyu with more radical means, such as having a child out of wedlock;

As for Zhou Yunyi, who has no money, no power, and even no ability, no matter whether she obeys or resists, she can only seek a way out from Lin Tianyu.

In the end, she estimated that when she arrived in the capital, she found out that Lin Tianyu had opened a harem again and was perfunctory to herself. She must have collapsed even more.

What Xin Ran seized was such an opportunity, brainwashed her to blacken her, and then refined her into a pawn that could be manipulated, and sent her into the game.

If the matter had only developed to this point, Ling Yao still had sympathy for this woman.But if follow-up...

"No matter what your situation is, if you really want me to help you, it's best not to push too hard at this critical moment.

"You have to remember that I am now negotiating with you as a member of the Secret Service, and I have my own principles."

Ling Yao knocked on the table, and he was also knocking on the other party.

"Generally speaking, I'm not very good at holding grudges, but if it touches the bottom line, it may not be just a matter of holding grudges.

"You should think about whether you should say something or not."

This can be regarded as Ling Yao's sincere words.

After all, whether it was the school's school struggle, Nan Bohong's negligence, Nan Guozhong's use, Wu Zifan's contempt, Lin Tianyu's inexplicable hostility...

Ling Yao may label and score these people in his mind based on their behavior, so as to decide his attitude towards them in the future.But in the end, he didn't really care about it.

But if it is Tian Xi, or people like Ling Xingran and Li Jiaheng, they have been using real people as pawns from beginning to end, trying to manipulate other people's fate to lead to tragedy in order to achieve their goals, using deception, choosing betrayal, and even planning a conspiracy. Slaughter every field.Ling Yao's resentment for this is unforgettable and eternal.

When Tian Xi was killed by Ling Linhan, although he only planned and supported behind the scenes, he still participated in a lot;

And now, he is still chasing Ling Xingran, preparing to unravel the truth with his own hands and complete this "revenge";

As for Li Jiaheng, although he hasn't obtained any critical evidence yet, Li Haibo's channel also has a lot of unsightly news about the other party - such a person, to be a villain in a different world, is naturally "unscrupulous" Indulging the evil of human nature.Therefore, this person was also on Ling Yao's blacklist early on, and he was always on the lookout, always on guard, and was always ready to seize the criminal evidence.

And if Zhou Yunyi really committed the crime knowingly, even though they had already made concessions, she still relentlessly tried to achieve her goal, disregarding many lives...

Then she "jumped" onto this "blacklist" on her own initiative, and she couldn't blame others.

Ling Yao also reminded the other party at the end not to go astray.

Fortunately, Zhou Yunyi is quite smart and understands what he said; she is still guarding the final moral bottom line in her heart, and she doesn't really want to kill other innocent people.After all, she swallowed back the unfinished sentence.

Finally she handed over the key—it turned out to be the stud on her left ear.If she hadn't taken the initiative to hand it to Ling Yao, perhaps no one present would have imagined that the shape of this earring fits right into the keyhole.

"I still want that answer. But you're right, I'll trade it for something else. That man seems to know you well, so if he says you'll promise me, it's definitely not a promise in exchange for a key. "

Ling Yao didn't answer, but just handed over the key and continued to translate the talisman at hand.

Zhou Yunyi also fell silent.But Ling Yao knew that Zhou Yunyi was thinking about what else she could use as a bargaining chip.

However, Ling Yao obviously did not intend to continue this conversation tonight.

After translating the passage at hand, he finally stood up and said to the person next to him:

"Send the rest of the translation to me. There are less than 10 minutes left, I will go to the green letter first. As for you, let them ask for their contact information, and we will talk about it next time."

While talking, Ling Yao walked to the window and opened the wooden window.

The evening wind blows, and the surroundings become more and more silent.It appears that the evacuation work has come to an end.

Zhou Yunyi suddenly said:

"The green letter is waiting for you is Li Jiaheng; the one waiting for you at Jinmao is not a person. In addition, choosing one of the three is not an exam question for you. Professor Xin will avoid other people and contact you alone. These are all things I heard Gossip, I hope it is useful to you, it should be my advance deposit."

But in the blink of an eye, the person by the window had disappeared without a trace.There was a very faint wisp of purple mist in the air, and there was a response like the words in a dream:

"can."
