Chapter 130 - 130: Li Xinting Died 65 Years Later?
He had slept unusually well that night, possibly due to the fatigue from yesterday.
Depleting over a hundred years of lifespan, coupled with a night without rest, was an undeniable fatigue-inducing combo.
“Brother Dao, good morning.”
Stepping out of the shop’s entrance, Li Xinting and Sister Zhou were both outside working out.
Observing them in matching workout attire, especially Li Xinting’s well-defined figure…
Hmm.
Could this be considered a morning treat?
“Morning. ”
“Breakfast’s ready. I’ll bring it to you.”
Li Xinting was her usual industrious self.
As Li Xinting disappeared inside to fetch breakfast, Sister Zhou glanced at Li Yidao, feeling a bit awkward at the moment.
After a brief hesitation, she tentatively asked, “Um… Brother Dao, about that amulet… Can I buy one? How much? I’m ready to pay whatever…”
“Amulet?” Brother Dao paused, then caught on.
With a nonchalant tone, he said, “They’re in the front desk drawer. Help yourself. ”
“Here comes breakfast.” At that moment, Li Xinting emerged from the room.
Li Yidao received the breakfast, expressed gratitude, and then settled by the doorway to dig in. A glass of milk, a fried dough stick, and a side dish. Simple yet satisfying.
Sister Zhou, meanwhile, remained somewhat awkwardly rooted to her spot.
He was just going to let her go and get the amulet?
In the midst of this internal struggle… she still wanted to say something.
But Li Xinting, giving her a meaningful look, grabbed her hand and led her directly to the front desk of the funeral shop.
She opened the drawer.
Seeing the amulets haphazardly scattered inside, Sister Zhou drew a deep breath.
Li Yidao had just tossed such precious items casually into the drawer?
Not only that, but Li Yidao’s nonchalant expression just showed that he didn’t care.
At that instant, her understanding of Li Yidao went through a subtle transformation.
Seeing Sister Zhou standing there in a daze, Li Xinting nudged her once again.
Sister Zhou snapped back to reality, quickly pulled out an amulet, and then gingerly closed the drawer.
As they stepped out of the funeral shop, Li Yidao’s calm voice resounded.
“I can’t say for sure about your situation. This amulet might not necessarily be effective. Just be cautious.” With his head lowered, Li Yidao spoke as if he was discussing something utterly ordinary.
In fact, that was exactly how things stood. He genuinely didn’t know what was up with Sister Zhou.
Even with Death Investigation, her cause of death remained an enigma.
And the death notice was still there!
This prompted a tinge of worry in Li Yidao’s heart.
But, it wasn’t Sister Zhou he was concerned about…
It was himself!
He had a hunch that the reason Sister Zhou’s cause of death couldn’t be deduced was that it might lead to something concerning him.
This could be why the investigation was blocked!
This notion had been taking shape from the very beginning. Now, as he delved deeper into his comprehension and utilization of the system…
This sensation only grew stronger.
Because, apart from this possibility, he couldn’t think of anything else.
While investigating Sister Zhou, Li Yidao simultaneously delved into the cause of Li Xinting’s death.
[Death due to food lodged in the windpipe after sixty-three years… Detailed cause of death…]
Hmm?
The cause of death changed!
The time of death also changed!
Li Yidao’s chewing came to a halt.
Death after sixty-three years?
Did that mean Li Xinting wouldn’t die?
Sixty-three years later, wouldn’t that just be a natural death?
Seeing Li Yidao’s perplexed expression, Sister Zhou grew even more flustered.
Almost instinctively, she tightened her grip on Li Xinting’s hand.
But before she could say anything, a person in uniform approached from not too far away.
Upon seeing Li Yidao at the entrance, along with Sister Zhou and Li Xinting, they paused.
They instinctively sized up the two before turning their gaze to Li Yidao.
“I need to talk to you about something. Can we… go inside?”
The newcomer was none other than Zhang Chaoyang!
Li Yidao finished the last bite of his dough stick and took a sip of milk.
“Sure, let’s go. We can talk inside.”
He handed the plate to Li Xinting. “Thanks.”
Turning, he walked into the funeral shop.
Zhang Chaoyang followed, and as he entered, he cast a quick glance at Li Xinting and Sister Zhou. His expression seemed to be lost in thought.
Entering the room, the two sat on the couch.
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
As soon as they sat down, Zhang Chaoyang expressed his gratitude twice.
Li Yidao just nodded.
He could shoulder these two thank-yous.
The first one was naturally on his own behalf, and the second one was on behalf of his master, Li Hui.
“Did you come to me for something that requires my cooperation?”
Zhang Chaoyang shook his head. “I’m here today to show you some things. After research by higher-ups, these files should help you take a look. This way, you can be as prepared as possible and avoid danger.”
He opened the file in his hand and took out the documents.
“These six individuals are the profiles of the six people who attacked you that day. The other four are other members of this gang.”
“These files are for you, so you can know them. It’s a form of prevention. If they do manage to find you, you’ll be prepared.”
“Of course, internally, we won’t leak anything about you. The possibility of this group knowing about your existence is almost zero, but…”
Zhang Chaoyang smiled bitterly.
Where there were people, uncertainty existed, so his words couldn’t be overly optimistic.
Li Yidao remained silent and quietly accepted the files.
However, when he saw the third person, he froze.
This guy… wasn’t he the assassin who was supposed to kill Li Xinting?
It was the same assassin Li Yidao had identified through Death Investigation, the one who had killed the Buddha in Heart, the Insurance salesperson, and Li Xinting. He was among the group of six!
Was he actually taken down by himself yesterday?
No wonder…
No wonder the time and cause of Li Xinting’s death had changed today!
What a coincidence…
But as he looked at this person’s file, Li Yidao also became cautious!
Why was he among this group?
Why did they coincidentally cross paths?
Or…
Was his initial target… himself?
Thinking of this possibility, a chill ran from the soles of Li Yidao’s feet to the top of his head!
If his guess was true, had he been under the surveillance of someone or some force all this time?
Wasn’t the other side constantly looking for an opportunity to strike at him?
Seeing Li Yidao’s somewhat dazed expression, Zhang Chaoyang didn’t know what was going through his mind.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “Higher-ups asked me to give you the profiles of these people. You should understand their intentions.”
“But I personally suggest… you don’t take action for now. I know you have the ability, but these people aren’t at the upper echelons of this organization.”
“The biggest one among them is just a minor leader, mere peripheral thugs. If you go after them, you might become the target of their attention.”
“After all… they might have ways of finding out about the deaths of those three before…
Zhang Chaoyang’s words were all veiled.
Li Yidao was momentarily stunned.
Then he smiled faintly. “I understand. Thank you. I’ll keep these files. I’ll be cautious.”
Seeing that Li Yidao seemed to have understood his intention, Zhang Chaoyang smiled and got up.
“As long as you get my point, my task of meeting you is done. I’ll take my leave.
I need to visit my master at the hospital.’
Saying this, Zhang Chaoyang turned and left the funeral shop.
Watching Zhang Chaoyang’s departing figure, Li Yidao’s expression gradually grew more serious.
He lowered his head and glanced at the documents in his hand, lost in deep thought.
It seemed… someone had indeed set their sights on him… If that was the case, he could not sit still and wait for death!
