Chapitre 17

Come alone.

My sudden turn was unexpected; half a second before, even I couldn't have imagined it.

If someone were to ask me why I suddenly turned around, I certainly wouldn't be able to answer. Perhaps I'd like to ask the old servant a few questions, but...

I don't even know what I'm trying to ask.

It was precisely because my turn was so sudden that I noticed the old servant behind me was doing something.

It was a very strange move. Although he stopped immediately when he noticed me turning around, in that instant, I had already seen...

What is he doing!

That was truly baffling. I saw in his hand a pen, about the size and thickness of an ordinary fountain pen.

The pipe, that pipe was clearly made of metal.

The outward end of that metal tube must be glass, because I saw a flash of light.

He aimed the tube at my back, and in the instant I suddenly turned around, he swiftly...

The tube slid into the sleeve in no more than a tenth of a second!

But I saw it!

I froze, and the old servant froze too, speechless, but the expression on his face clearly told me...

He has a major secret that has been discovered!

At this moment, although he stood upright and motionless, it did not mean he was calm; rather, it meant he was simply too...

I was so terrified that I stood there frozen, not knowing what to do!

At that moment, I also felt at a loss for what to do. My mind raced, and I had already thought of it without a doubt.

Old servant, that was truly my oversight, because it has been proven that everything is related to Wang Zhiyi, and this old servant is connected to Wang Zhiyi.

Living together, if Wang Zhiyi had any secrets, he wouldn't be able to hide them from the old servant!

At that moment, I didn't know what to do. Things had happened so suddenly. In this situation, if I took drastic measures...

My actions, and the other party's reaction after the initial stalemate, might be even more intense, and I might gain nothing at all! I must...

I must use a gentle approach to avoid causing him to react erratically in his shock; I need to awaken him as if he were sleeping on the edge of a cliff.

Just like a person, you must not disturb him, lest he "fall down"!

We stood there facing each other for a full half minute before I finally spoke in a very normal voice: "That is..."

What is that?

Sure enough, the moment I opened my mouth, the old servant jumped up as if stabbed by a sharp knife, turned around and ran forward.

I had anticipated his reaction, so I moved faster than him, darting past him and turning around abruptly.

The old servant lost his balance and bumped into me, and I immediately reached out and grabbed his arm tightly.

When I grabbed him, his expression was one of utter terror, and I felt a pang of pity for him, so I tried to comfort him.

He said, "Don't be nervous, we can discuss anything."

His lips trembled, and he couldn't make a sound. Large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

As beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, I became even more horrified. At that moment, I was extremely close to him, and I could clearly see...

It was clear that the sweat on his forehead only seeped out from the wrinkles on his face, and his skin was completely dry.

He came out and immediately collapsed. This only proves one thing: his entire face was covered in some kind of paint!

He was carefully disguised!

Moreover, at that moment, I gripped his arm tightly. The muscles in his arm were very firm, typical of an elderly man.

It's impossible for him to still have such well-developed muscles!

He was not only meticulously disguised, but also, without a doubt, a young man in disguise!

Part 8: Attacked and Loses Sight

Once I understood this, I took a deep breath: "Don't be nervous, young man, don't be nervous!"

The old servant gaped, breathing rapidly. I knew that after I saw through his disguise, he would never...

I knew I would have the ability to resist again, so I let go.

Sure enough, I let go of his hand, and he stood there blankly in front of me, motionless. I said again, "So, what do you think?"

I think we should have a serious talk!

He moved his lips for a moment before saying, "Mr. Wei, I really admire you. I... I know a lot... you..."

"Regarding that matter, I... know your character..."

He was clearly still in a state of extreme shock, so his speech was somewhat incoherent. I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Don't panic, there won't be any major problems!"

His voice trembled with tears: "But, someone died!"

I looked him straight in the eye: "Did you kill him?"

He shook his head and hands in utter horror. I said, "Since you didn't kill him, what are you afraid of?"

He said, "I...I'm really scared. I beg you, please leave first. I'll meet with you. Let me calm down first."

Please? I beg you. I promise I'll contact you before nightfall today!

I hesitated; his request was really hard to accept.

He told me to leave, and he would contact me. But what if he doesn't keep his promise? Right now, he's my only lead.

The most important clue: how can I get him to leave?

His pleading voice and expression were pitiful, but I hardened my heart and shook my head: "No."

"Let's talk now, or, whatever you prefer, we can go to the police station together."

Upon hearing the words "go to the police station," he took a step back and muttered, "Why do we have to do this?"

Why do it this way?

I ignored what he was saying and pressed him in a rather stern voice: "Who is Wang Zhiyi? Who are you?"

?

He did not answer.

I asked again, "What are you doing here?"

He still did not answer.

I raised my voice: "What were you holding in your hand just now?"

He still didn't answer, but this was a question I needed to answer without his response; he remained silent.

I quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.

He pulled his arm back, but I still grabbed his sleeve. Both of us were using considerable force; his sleeve…

With a "hiss," it was ripped open, and the metal pipe fell to the ground.

I quickly bent down to pick up the metal tube, but I never expected that I was so shocked, with tears streaming down my face.

Damn, the person who was groaning at me actually fought back!

This was naturally my mistake. I didn't realize I had pushed anyone too far, to the point where he had no choice but to resist.

When there was nothing else he could do, he had no choice but to rebel!

Just as I bent down to pick up the metal pipe, I was suddenly struck hard on the back of the head.

I don't know what he used to hit me, but the force of the blow was so great that it was definitely not from his bare hands.

.

I immediately fell to the ground, the world spinning around me. As I fell, I still managed to reach out and pull at his ankle.

I felt as if my pull had caused him to fall to the ground, but I was unable to do anything further.

The blow was so heavy that I immediately lost consciousness after falling to the ground.

When I woke up, it felt like a red-hot iron was burning the back of my head. When I opened my eyes, everything was...

Pitch black. Opening my eyes, all I saw was pitch black, a blackness completely different from being in complete darkness; it was an extreme kind of darkness.

It was terrifying. An unprecedented feeling; I couldn't see anything anymore, I went blind!

I couldn't help but scream, and as I screamed, I sat up straight.

I immediately felt someone press down on my shoulder. I struggled desperately, but the person held me down forcefully.

At the same time, I also heard Colonel Jack's voice: "Calm down, calm down!"

I gasped for breath: "What's wrong with me? I can't see anything, I can't see anything at all!"

Colonel Jack was still holding my shoulder, but he didn't answer me immediately. He only spoke after I called out several times.

"Yes, the doctors have predicted you will lose your sight. Your head injury has affected your optic nerve, but that's..."

It might be temporary!

I screamed, "What if I'm blind for a long time?"

Colonel Jack remained silent, and I suddenly went berserk, throwing a punch without a word.

I don't know exactly where my punch landed on the colonel, but I threw it with all my might.

Judging from the sound of the punch, the colonel's retreating footsteps, and the series of sounds of things being hit, the colonel had been punched...

It must have fallen quite a distance.

Just then, I felt someone suddenly hug me, and at the same time, I heard Bai Su's voice: "How could you..."

Hitting someone?

I immediately grasped Bai Su's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "You...you're here. Look, am I awake?"

I could tell that Bai Su was trying her best to suppress her excitement. She said, "Yes, your eyes are wide open!"
