Chapter 630 Very Tense
Chapter 630 Very Tense
"That's exactly what you think. Didn't you want to know who poisoned you? Starting from that point, we should be able to find out quickly. The other party should have come to Japan in person."
Compared to Zhou Zhou's shock, Jiang Nian seemed much calmer, speaking casually as if it were a trivial matter, completely unrelated to his own life.
"I understand, I'll go check it out right now!"
Zhou Zhou left Jiang Nian's room with a cold face.
After Zhou Zhou left, all signals in Jiang Nian's room were blocked.
As for the dwarf chef lying on the ground in a coma, Jiang Nian completely ignored him.
"Good leadership!"
Gao Shiwei has been very nervous lately. He knows that Jiang Nian went to Japan, and that's why he's even more worried.
However, since Jiang Nian didn't take the initiative to contact him, Gao Shiwei couldn't contact her for Jiang Nian's safety, no matter how worried he was.
Gao Shiwei finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he received Jiang Nian's video call.
"Boss, I need to find a man who is about 1.3 meters tall to meet me in Japan, and then disguise himself as someone else and stay by my side!"
Before Gao Shiwei could speak, Jiang Nian explained why she had come to see him.
With a black line appearing on his forehead, Gao Shiwei felt that Jiang Nian was really going too far—every time she contacted him, she had something to do, otherwise she would never have contacted him.
"Finding someone who's 1.3 meters tall is a bit difficult. I'll arrange something for you first. But what if our people, disguised, follow you and their identities are discovered?"
It wasn't that Gao Shiwei didn't believe in Jiang Nian's abilities; it was just that going undercover was no easy task.
Gao Shiwei knew that Jiang Nian was treated well in the Shadow Organization, but that didn't mean that their people would be treated the same way when they went there.
More importantly, if their identities are exposed, Jiang Nian will also be implicated.
"With me here, this won't happen. I'll protect our people. I won't be staying in Japan for too long either. Remember, the height I require is only 1.3 meters. Anyone taller won't do."
Jiang Nian had absolute confidence in protecting the safety of his own people.
Jiang Nian will absolutely not let the Shadow Organization get away with attacking them.
The Shadow Organization is bound to undergo a major reshuffle.
At that point, who would care about an insignificant chef?
Jiang Nian said that if he wants to do something, he must accomplish it.
Without giving Gao Shiwei a chance to refute, Jiang Nian hung up the phone directly.
"This kid, it must be because I've spoiled him too much lately, he actually dared to hang up on me during the video call!"
Gao Shiwei on the other end of the phone shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.
Despite expressing his dissatisfaction, Gao Shiwei acted swiftly. He immediately pressed the internal phone button on his desk.
"Old Fan, go find an inconspicuous special forces soldier. Remember, he must be at least 1.3 meters tall, no taller than 1.3 meters!"
Gao Shiwei gave Fan Tianlei this order.
Fan Tianlei's head was covered in black lines.
He could not disobey his superior's orders, but the height requirement seemed to be a bit of a challenge for him.
"Boss, may I ask what kind of task we're going to assign this person?"
Fan Tianlei could already tell that such a request meant the task assigned to the other party would be extremely difficult. He was already starting to think about how to arrange for other personnel to cooperate—he couldn't possibly send someone on a mission alone, could he?
"He's the person Jiang Nian wants. Once we find someone who meets the criteria, we'll arrange for him to meet Jiang Nian in Japan. At the same time, all his records in China must be destroyed, leaving no trace whatsoever."
Gao Shiwei's face was serious—no detail could be overlooked.
The people sent this time are related to Jiang Nian, so there's no room for error.
Upon hearing Gao Shiwei mention Jiang Nian's name, Fan Tianlei knew the matter was serious. Since it concerned Jiang Nian, no mistakes could be tolerated.
He went to take care of his business, while Gao Shiwei sat in his chair, lost in thought.
Jiang Nian suddenly needs this person to make contact, disguised as someone else and follow her around. What happened to the original person? Has something happened to them? And why did that person get into trouble? Did they help Jiang Nian, or did they have malicious intentions towards her?
Jiang Nian gave too few hints, and Gao Shiwei couldn't guess at all.
As for Jiang Nian, he naturally left the necessary tasks to others, so he appeared much calmer.
A little after four in the morning, just as the morning star was rising, the dwarf chef finally woke up.
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, the dwarf chef was momentarily bewildered, unsure of where he was.
Just then, the room lights suddenly came on. Seeing Jiang Nian standing against the wall, everything that had happened before he lost consciousness flashed through his mind, and a look of terror slowly appeared on the dwarf chef's face.
He remembers floating and sinking in the pool, almost dying.
It was something Jiang Nian fed him that brought him back to life.
Thinking of this, the dwarf chef looked at Jiang Nian with fear in his eyes.
Who exactly said this person was easy to deal with?
How could anyone dare to enter the base of such a vital national asset as China without some real ability? Even when he wanted to come to Japan, not a single person in power objected.
Even Dark Eagle sent Zhou Zhou over.
Mentioning Zhou Zhou made the dwarf chef's face turn even uglier.
Zhou Zhou chose to stand with Jiang Nian, so he ended up lying here.
"Stop pretending to be stupid now that you're awake. Tell me who tried to poison me, and you'll feel better."
Jiang Nian looked impatiently at the dwarf chef lying on the ground and said irritably.
He'd wasted so much of his time. He hadn't forgotten that this system-issued task had a time limit. Although there was no reward, Jiang Nian couldn't risk it—after all, the penalty for failing the task was to be reduced to his original form!
The dwarf chef opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Jiang Nian's face darkened.
"I think you won't learn your lesson until you're faced with death. I have plenty of ways to torture you, to make you wish you were dead. Even if your people want to give you a quick death, with me here, do you think you can survive? Think about what happened before you lost consciousness, do you want to go through it all again?"
Jiang Nian believed the dwarf chef had already experienced the feeling of death hanging over his head. If it weren't for the pills the system gave him, he would have been dead long ago! Unfortunately, Jiang Nian didn't want him to die; he had to live.
The dwarf chef shuddered.
How could he possibly forget? He could never forget it, not even in his entire life.
"It's Dr. Tom. He gave me the Gu poison and asked me to use it on you!"
The dwarf chef finally spoke. After his mental breakdown, once he opened his mouth, it became much easier to say what followed.
"Dr. Tom contacted me, asking me to use a Gu poison on you. To ensure success, Dr. Tom also used a Gu poison on Zhou Zhou. It really wasn't my intention to offend you. Dr. Tom is someone even those in power would treat with deference; I really couldn't refuse what he asked us to do..."
The dwarf chef knelt on the ground, trembling as he spoke.
He is now beginning to think that Jiang Nian is actually much more terrifying than Dr. Tom.
But he was just a lowly henchman; if he didn't do what Dr. Tom ordered him to do, he would be the first to be killed.
The worst mistake the dwarf chef made was offending Jiang Nian, rather than offending Dr. Tom.
How could he have imagined that Jiang Nian was so powerful? Even when he was poisoned with a curse, Jiang Nian was able to neutralize it silently. The dwarf chef had personally witnessed Jiang Nian eat every last drop of the poisoned food.
One wrong step can lead to eternal regret. He was wrong.
Jiang Nian sneered, "He's just Dr. Tom. So, in your heart, Dr. Tom is more powerful than the person in charge? Do you think the person in charge would keep a subordinate like you around?"
The dwarf chef seemed to have lost all his spirits and knelt there dejectedly.
How could he not understand the meaning behind Jiang Nian's words?
He agreed to Dr. Tom's request because Dr. Tom promised that if he fulfilled this small request, Dr. Tom would speak well of him to those in power and improve his status.
He felt that with something as powerful as Gu poison around, Jiang Nian would have no chance of escaping Dr. Tom's grasp. Once Jiang Nian was under Dr. Tom's control, they would be the same kind of people.
He was wrong, he truly knew he was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Jiang Nian remained expressionless in the face of the dwarf chef's dejected appearance.
He walked up to the dwarf chef, chopped him down with his blade, and the man immediately passed out.
After kicking the dwarf chef under the bed, Jiang Nian finally lay back down. Dawn was approaching, and even if he wanted to settle scores, he had to wait until then. For now, it was best to conserve his energy.
Zhou Zhou quickly traced the problem back to Dr. Tom.
Dr. Tom's position within the Shadow Organization is also quite unique. Even though Zhou Zhou is a protector, he still has to be subservient to Dr. Tom.
That's why he's looking so troubled right now.
He hated Dr. Tom because the latter dared to use a curse on him.
However, Zhou Zhou also cannot attack Dr. Tom.
Holding the information he had gathered, Zhou Zhou was at a loss, completely unsure of what to do next.
Finally, after pondering for a while, Zhou Zhou decided to hand the data over to Jiang Nian. He had no objection to what Jiang Nian should do.
After daybreak, Zhou Zhou knocked on Jiang Nian's door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Nian sat up abruptly. He knew that Zhou Zhou must have received the investigation results.
Jiang Nian was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Zhou's efficiency. He already knew from the dwarf chef that Dr. Tom was the mastermind, and he refused to believe that Zhou Zhou had taken so long to investigate.
"This is the information I found. Mr. Jiang Nian, what are your plans?"
After handing the documents to Jiang Nian, Zhou Zhou hesitated for a moment before asking a question. Watching Jiang Nian carefully review the documents, Zhou Zhou hesitated several times before asking the question.
"He's just Dr. Tom. Do you think I'm afraid of him? He's in Japan right now, which is clearly an attempt to oppose me. If I don't teach him a lesson, will he think I'm really that easy to bully?"
Without looking at Zhou Zhou, Jiang Nian flipped through the documents and said calmly.
His words made Zhou Zhou's expression turn sour.
If these two big shots were to fight, who knows how the other leaders in the base would react?
Unfortunately, things had come to this point, and it was beyond his control.
“Mr. Jiang Nian, no matter what, Dr. Tom’s position in the Shadow Organization is somewhat special. This time, it was his fault that he sent someone to poison you. I don’t ask for anything else, I just hope you won’t kill him directly.”
Zhou Zhou knew he shouldn't have said those words.
He's now one of Jiang Nian's men, so saying such things is a complete disrespect to Jiang Nian. But Jiang Nian still has to stay in the Shadow Organization, and if things go too far, it won't be good for him.
"Don't worry, I'll spare his life."
Jiang Nian waved his hand casually, not taking Zhou Zhou's words to heart at all.
What a joke! They've gone too far; if he keeps putting up with it, he'll really be the one losing face.
Dr. Tom, I hope you can withstand my revenge.
Without giving Zhou Zhou a chance to speak again, Jiang Nian jumped out of the window and left.
It wasn't until after Jiang Nian left that Zhou Zhou belatedly realized—how come the dwarf chef who was originally lying in Jiang Nian's room had disappeared after only a few hours?
Could it be that Jiang Nian did something that I don't know about?
Zhou Zhou's expression changed drastically, and he turned and left Jiang Nian's room. He had to deal with some follow-up matters.
In the villa where Dr. Tom lives.
Dr. Tom is from Japan. He is a little over 1.6 meters tall, over fifty years old, and has a large belly, giving him a prosperous appearance.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room, a cigar between his fingers, looking at the person kneeling in front of him with a face full of anger.
"It's just a small matter, and you can't even handle it. What use are you?"
After Dr. Tom finished speaking, the middle-aged man with a scar on his cheek, who was standing behind the sofa, pulled out a pistol, pointed it at the kneeling man's head, and pulled the trigger.
Without a sound, the kneeling man collapsed. Blood gushed from his head, staining the floor red.
"Clean this place up. Also, make preparations; I'm going to visit Mr. Jiang Nian in person."
Looking at the blood on the floor, Mr. Tom took a deep breath before giving this serious order.
"Hehe, no need for you to come all this way, Mr. Tom. If you wanted to see me, just say so, and I'll come over in person."
Jiang Nian's voice rang out.
Mr. Tom suddenly looked up at the doorway.
Jiang Nian walked in slowly, step by step.
Facing the corpse lying on the floor, Jiang Nian remained unfazed and sat down on the sofa opposite Dr. Tom. (End of Chapter)
