Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1478

But Zhang Hai couldn't help but take out his walkie-talkie and ask Shen Lin a question.

"Old Shen, that damned rat got away. Did you see anything unusual outside?"

After Zhang Hai finished asking the question, Shen Lin's voice did not come through the walkie-talkie immediately. He knew that Shen Lin must be looking around.

After about ten seconds, Shen Lin's voice finally came through the walkie-talkie.

"I didn't see anything unusual, and there was no sign of anyone around. How did you let him get away?"

"He took something and it exploded in the yard, creating thick smoke. We couldn't see anything."

After listening to Zhang Hai's explanation, Shen Lin's voice came through the walkie-talkie after another pause.

"I'm coming over now. Keep a close eye on Master Zheng!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai didn't say anything more, put away the walkie-talkie, and turned to look at the other team members.

"That stinky rat was hit by a bullet and is wounded. Search carefully to see if you can find any remaining blood!"

At Zhang Hai's command, the members of the Impermanence Squad immediately began to search the surrounding area, while he himself went to Zheng Shiye's side.

Upon seeing Zhang Hai enter the room, Master Zheng, while supporting himself, looked at Zhang Hai and asked him a question.

"That damn bastard got away?"

"Ok!"

Zhang Hai nodded in response, but his expression was rather unpleasant, after all, he had failed to fulfill Wei Wu's request and let the White Lotus Taoist escape.

Hearing Zhang Hai's answer, Master Zheng sighed inwardly, but still forced a smile and said:

"So be it! I guess this is my destiny. Young Master will catch that bastard and avenge me in the future!"

Seeing Master Zheng's dejected expression, as if he were about to die, Zhang Hai quickly spoke up:

"You're talking like you're about to die. Don't worry, you won't die."

"Alright, Zhang Hai, stop trying to comfort me."

Hearing Zhang Hai's words, Master Zheng looked at him and smiled in response, then continued:

"I am poisoned, and the only person in the world who probably has the antidote is the White Lotus Taoist, but that damned bastard is extremely cautious."

"Having suffered such a great loss at your hands this time, he probably won't reappear anytime soon. Without catching him, we can't get the antidote."

"I've resigned myself to my fate. I've enjoyed a life of luxury with the young master all these years. Even if I die, it won't be a loss. Eighteen years from now, it'll be the same..."

Master Zheng's words grew increasingly desperate, prompting Zhang Hai to quickly interrupt him.

"No, what are you lamenting about? I've already told you you won't die, why won't you believe me!"

“You were not poisoned at all. The pill that the White Lotus Taoist gave you was just made from medicinal dregs and had no medicinal effect whatsoever.”

Zheng, who had been looking dejected, immediately looked up at Zhang Hai after hearing his words.

With eyes wide open, filled with a deep longing for life, she stared intently at Zhang Hai and asked:

"What?! You're telling the truth?!"

"Nonsense, why would I lie to you about something like this? There's no benefit in it for me!"

Seeing Master Zheng's persistent and shameless manner, Zhang Hai responded irritably, and then began to explain:

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't secretly placed that listening device on Xiao Jinghai just now..."

"Even if we overheard his conversation with the White Lotus Taoist, we wouldn't know about this matter, much less act recklessly."

"After all, the young master specifically instructed that everything else can be put aside, but you must do everything you can to save your life."

Hearing this, Master Zheng finally understood why Zhang Hai and his men had suddenly taken action; the root of the problem lay here.

At the same time, he himself did not expect that a decision made out of necessity would yield such great results.

Just as Master Zheng was secretly relieved, Zhang Hai spoke up again and told him the details.

The reason they disregarded Master Zheng's safety and suddenly led their men to attack was mainly because of Master Zheng's methods.

Just now, when the White Lotus Taoist asked Xiao Jinghai to leave the room with him, Master Zheng forcibly pulled Xiao Jinghai aside and tried to bribe him with money.

In reality, he didn't really place his hopes on Xiao Jinghai. After spending the past few days together, he knew all too well what kind of person Xiao Jinghai was.

He simply used this opportunity to subtly place the listening device that Wei Wu had given him on Xiao Jinghai.

Although he couldn't hear what Xiao Jinghai and Bai Lian Daoren were saying, he could let Shen Lin hear it through this device.

Master Zheng believed that if anything went wrong for him, Shen Lin would definitely find a way to save him.

As it turned out, Master Zheng's move was quite brilliant, and it even directly led to the events that followed.

The reason why Shen Lin, the White Lotus Taoist, didn't make a move several times was mainly because only the White Lotus Taoist had the antidote for Master Zheng's poisoning.

If there were no other choice, Wei Wu would not have wanted to resort to arresting people and forcing them to hand over the antidote through severe torture.

Because this method is too unpredictable, it is best to cooperate so that Master Zheng can obtain the antidote from the White Lotus Taoist.

However, during the eavesdropping just now, Shen Lin heard the White Lotus Taoist reveal the truth about Master Zheng's poisoning.

Since Master Zheng was not poisoned at all, they didn't need to have any reservations and could take action against the White Lotus Taoist.

So after receiving this news, Shen Lin immediately used a walkie-talkie to report it to Wei Wu.

Wei Wu was also decisive, immediately ordering Zhang Hai to bring reinforcements, with the best possible outcome being the capture of the White Lotus Daoist alive.

That's why Shen Lin just passed a message to Master Zheng, asking him to hold off the White Lotus Taoist.

It will take Zhang Hai and the others a little longer to get here.

Although the White Lotus Taoist eventually escaped, Master Zheng's life was spared no matter what.

After hearing Zhang Hai's explanation, Master Zheng's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally settled down.

Seeing that Master Zheng was no longer looking like he was about to die, Zhang Hai spoke again:

"Alright, even though you're not poisoned, you can't stay here any longer, or that stinky rat will come looking for you again."

"Young Master said that you should go to the Imperial Hospital and stay with him. Our Impermanence Squad will be stationed there from now on."

After hearing Zhang Hai's words, Master Zheng nodded without hesitation and said:

"Okay, okay, let's go, hurry up, let's go now!"
