Zhang Wan'er had originally planned to return to the hotel to pack her things and then move into the courtyard. However, not long after leaving the courtyard, the suffocating feeling struck her again, and her vision gradually darkened.
When she woke up again, she was in a familiar place with familiar people. She asked with a dark expression, "What exactly do you want to do? Why are you always haunting me? I don't think I have the ability to help you achieve anything. Please, just let me go!"
"How can that be? Didn't we agree to cooperate and work together for our respective goals? Your backtracking makes me very unhappy. When I'm unhappy, I tend to do things uncontrollably.
According to my subordinates, Miss Zhang, you've been having a good time lately, which is why you've given up on cooperating with me, haven't you? Tell me, if I were to ruin these good days of yours, would you regret refusing my cooperation?"
After saying this, K slowly raised his head, a faint upward curve at the corner of his mouth. Though he was smiling, he exuded a sinister and terrifying aura. Zhang Wan'er couldn't help but shiver, gritting her teeth in anger, but she was powerless against him.
After a while, Zhang Wan'er, suppressing her anger, asked, "So, what do you want?"
"I heard Miss Zhang has successfully moved into the courtyard, which means it's easier for you to act. To be honest, I want the He family dead! These are the toxins I've recently developed. All you need to do is put them into their food when they're eating. Once they're all dead, I can legitimately inherit their family fortune!" After saying this, K waved to his subordinate behind him, and a packet of powder immediately appeared before them.
"These are all slow-acting poisons, and they won't take effect within these few days, putting you in grave danger. You can rest assured about this. I want this done without anyone knowing, preferably without any trouble, so I can successfully inherit the He family's fortune!" After K finished speaking, a hint of madness flickered in his eyes, as if his plan had already succeeded, and his expression suddenly turned ferocious.
Zhang Wan'er seemed taken aback by K's immense ambition. Her gaze gradually turned cold, and then she clutched the poison in her hand, slowly saying, "Alright, give me this medicine. It's perfect, as I don't want the people who are obstructing me and Gu Xingdong from being together alive anymore!"
Seeing Zhang Wan'er agree so readily, he showed no sign of happiness. Instead, he walked up to her and said meaningfully, "Miss Zhang, only after all these people are dead will I try my best to get Gu Xingdong. You've been trying for so long without any progress, which shows something. Gu Xingdong is not someone who is easily tamed. Rather than using gentle means, why not be forceful!
Let's eliminate the people around Gu Xingdong one by one. Once he has no support, you can find a way to hide him away, somewhere only the two of you know! Then, his eyes will only see you, a woman. This should be something you desperately desire, shouldn't it? When you cooperate with me, I never mistreat my collaborators!"
Upon hearing K's words, Zhang Wan'er was initially a little surprised. Then, she bit her lower lip tightly and clenched the poison in her hand. After a moment of thought, she nodded and said, "I think you're right, but you have to tell me what this medicine is first."
"Once this medicine is ingested, it can cause lung cancer without anyone noticing. Isn't it normal for old people to have some health issues? So, you can rest assured. I will absolutely not put you in danger. Once the medicine takes effect, you can leave without a trace!" After K finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Lung cancer? Zhang Wan'er stared at the medicine in her hand, momentarily stunned. Finally, as if she had made a decision, her gaze gradually firmed. "Fine, I understand. But in the future, if you need me for anything, can you send someone to notify me in advance? I can come to you myself. Every time it's so thrilling, and most importantly, I haven't been away from the courtyard for long today. Aren't you afraid someone will follow us and discover your intentions?!"
K raised an eyebrow, his expression rather nonchalant. "Miss Zhang, you don't need to worry about this at all. My subordinates are very discreet in their actions. It's actually less safe for you to come here alone. I've already warned my subordinates to be gentle when picking you up, to absolutely not let you get hurt. See, aren't you perfectly fine?"
Seeing that her suggestion was not accepted at all, Zhang Wan'er became somewhat angry. But thinking that she was no match for this K at all, she could only suppress her anger and nod, leaving behind a sentence: "Whatever you say!"
Then, she turned to leave. She finally discovered that no matter how she turned, she couldn't get out of this place, so she could only return to K and say, "Where is this place?"
K's residence was very luxurious. It didn't seem like much from the inside, but from the outside, it looked like a palace. Most importantly, this place seemed very secluded because when she went out earlier, she had walked through a forest. It was truly strange. Who would build such a luxurious palace here?
Zhang Wan'er was very confused, but she didn't show it. She knew very well that knowing too much wouldn't do her any good, especially since K had just refused her request to come find him alone, which meant he didn't want to reveal his location. Sometimes, it was better to play dumb for one's own benefit.
Seeing Zhang Wan'er return to ask for his help, K couldn't help but laugh. "Miss Zhang is truly adorable. Why do you think I had my subordinates pick you up? It's mainly because the terrain here is rather complex, and I was afraid you might get lost if you were alone! Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll have someone send you back now, but before that, Miss Zhang may have to endure a little more inconvenience!"
As he finished speaking, Zhang Wan'er's vision went black, and that familiar feeling surged into her heart again. Since leaving and arriving both required this process, she no longer felt the need to be as nervous and scared as last time, so she calmly fell asleep.
