Chapter 620 Trust
I smiled. “Tong Yan, your knowledge is still too little. Do you think I look like a person who still has the parasites in me?”
Tong Yan’s expression was a little lost. “The worms are still there, but they are not in my body. So, Ma Ji can still find her way here. But she isn’t going to use them to torment me anymore.” I explained, “Oh, right, you might not know much about Mr. Li. Mr. Li’s mission is to find Ma Ji to bring her back to the clan to receive punishment. You said I’m lucky, but you have no idea how lucky I really am. Now, we’re waiting for Ma Ji to appear. How do you think she’ll do that?”
Tong Yan snorted coldly. “Do you think she’d walk into your trap like that?”
I shook my head. “No! But I don’t believe the version of her being a God in your stories either.” I stood up and said as I walked out, “Oh right, you’ll be with Mr. Li from now on. This is perfect. You’re a human experiment, and he likes to make drugs.”
“No! No!” Tong Yan suddenly became agitated.
I pretended to be surprised. “Then what do you want?”
Tong Yan immediately softened. “Nanxing, Please!”
I raised my eyebrows. “How rare. You are actually begging me.” Tong Yan’s eyes were filled with tears. “Nanxing, don’t let me go back to that life. I’ll help you find Madam Ma Ji.” I shook my head. “Do you think I’m stupid? You’d find her and escape with her if I allow you to go. Tong Yan, if you really want to survive, try a little harder.”
Tong Yan bit her lips. Finally, she made up her mind. “Nanxing, I will definitely help you find Ma Ji. I promise! No one can recognize her except for me. I just need you to spare me. I’ll be your slave to thank you.”
We looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
Tong Yan said, “She already knows a little about the situation here, but she didn’t get that from me. So, there are other spies here. However, she won’t believe the news fully. She still wants to use the parasites to control you, so she needs to get close to you. I’m her best candidate to do that…”
I nodded. “I won’t let you go and meet up with her.” Tong Yan smiled wryly. “I know. I wanted to tell you to keep an eye on the people in the mansion. Once Ma Ji fails to contact me, she’ll contact someone else.”
“Alright, thank you!” I thanked her.
Tong Yan looked at me. “Nanxing, does this mean you agree to my request?”
I thought for a moment. “Do you want to have your poison cured?”
Tong Yan was stunned for a moment. She smiled wryly. “Nanxing, you’re too naive. I really envy you. If everything in this world were as simple as you think it is, how good would that be? Don’t be silly. Once someone falls into Ma Ji’s hands, the only way out is death. No one can cure my poison. Ma Ji will only give me a portion of the antidote so that I won’t die. She won’t cure me. I doubt there’s even a cure. Forget it. I have lived enough in this life anyway. Nanxing, I don’t need an antidote. I don’t need anything else.”
Tong Yan’s expression was tired and sad.
I didn’t comfort her. If she really didn’t want anything else, then I might as well fulfill her wish. If she had other motives, I didn’t want to waste time on her.
At the end of the day, I didn’t trust Tong Yan.
